Simple Sundress, Cape Indispensable in Summer Bruising Causes Great Meat Waste Packing Industry Loss $25,000,000 Last Year America’s livestock industry lost $31,914,677 in dead, bruised and crip pled animals in 1949. Meat waste due solely to bruising, much of which could be prevented by greater care in handling of live stock on the farm and in transit, was more than $25,000,000. These figures were disclosed by the National Live Stock Loss Pre vention Board, an organization founded to promote better care and handling of livestock. In 1949 the animals dead on arrival at the nation’s stock yards would have filled a train 10% miles «• *4 • • w * • a •>,« « « •« ID-201 UjTERE’S an outfit- that’s indis-- ** pensable for- summer wear— a simple sundrebs topped with & darling little button-on cape.

Losses result ing from bruises and crippled ani mals accounted for the remainder. In order to combat this Ipss, edu cational programs have been in augurated by the government, agri cultural colleges and meat packers, pointing to the bruise and injury losses which are revealed when ani mals are dressed in the packing plants. ' Many terminal markets have de veloped comprehensive livestock safety programs. These programs urge greater care in the handling of livestock from the time they leave the farm until they are mark eted. Good Farm Practices Make 'Good' Soils “Somehow the notion gets around that originally our farm soils were highly productive. That is, produc tive when first plowed. Many of them were like the black lands in our middle west and in central Eurasia, for example, and in some of the great deltas and alluvial val leys,” says Dr. Charles E. Kellogg of the U. S. department of agricul ture. However, he adds: “But most soils are not. It is through liming and fertilization, drainage, irriga tion, the introduction of legumes, and a host of other practices, that farmers have made their soils pro ductive.” Many a farm wife would sit while working at the kitchen table if there was a stool or chair handy. A stool hinged to a table leg so it could easily be pushed under the table when not in use would meet the re quirement. The one shown above is a simple stool with one leg. A short arm of wood about eighteen inches long, ad inch thick and three inches wide, has one end nailed or screwed to the stool leg and the other end attached to a table leg by a hinge. Agricultural Stations Gradually Restaffing Gradual restaffing of the agri cultural experiment stations with scientific personnel which was not available during the war period Is noted in the current report on the agricultural experiment stations. New staff members are young nqen who have been -ble to com plete their advance training since the war. Closer Integration of re search and extension work is also reported. GOOD CITIZEN American's Right to Vote Often Abused, Corrupted, Neglected usswon LAST WEEK'S ANSWER This ts the seeend of & series of i** articles from the booklet “Good C/ltisen'* published by The Ameri can Heritage Foundation concern ing the rights and dntleo of an Amert- ean. o o o Of the nine promises of a good citizen the first is: I will vote at all elections. I will inform myself on candidates and issues and will use my greatest influence to see that honest and capable officials are elected. I will accept public office when I can serve my community or my country thereby. The right to vote—to vote in secret and to have your votes count —is a great right. It is grounded in the faith that the average judgment of all of us to gether in the long run will be right ,—that “you can’t fool all the people all the time.” It has many flaws. It has been corrupted, abused and neg lected, but by means of it the Ameri can people over more than a cen tury and a half have done pretty well for themselves. Through agents chosen by you and others like you all laws are made. No man, regardless of his station in life, wields more power than you in the voting booth. You can also vote by not voting, for by staying away from the polls you can help a self-seeking minority make the wrong decision. Don’t be afraid to “lose your vote.” The vote that doesn’t elect a man still influences what he does. A candidate who just squeaks through knows that you and others like you can repudiate him next time. In this atom-splitting age you are voting on the gravest issues in the history of mankind. • • # WHEN YOU REACH voting age you become a member of the “ruling class”—the one and only ruling class of this country. Use this power to vote. Vote during the big year elections, of course—and at state elections. vote at your By INEZ GERHARD B ETTY HUTTON, bright star of “Annie Get Your Gun” and “Let’s Dance,” has worked hard for every bit of her success, but the career closest to her heart ia being the mother of her two little girls—and she could give lessons to a lot of mothers I “They’re going to grow up knowing everybody doesn’t have a house and back yard like theira.” - she told m«. “They’re going to know that some people don’t have, enough to eat, as I didn’t when I was little.” As for her future—‘Tm really an en tertainer, not an actress; if the time comes when I can’t make pic tures, I’ll sing in night clubs.

Vote on officers of your club, your lodge, your grange. In general, all citizens over 21 years of age have the right to vote, but the various states have different laws as to how long you must live in the same place, when to register, etc. Jn certain states literacy tests or poll taxes are required. In no state is property ownership a re quirement. But don’t consider you have done your duty merely by voting In na tional elections every four years. There are also congressional elec tions, state elections, city elections, and local elections of various kinds. • • • THERE ARE three ways to vote. You can vote for (1) party, (2) issues, (3) people. If the total party program, as ex pressed in its platform, appeals to you as being best for the country, it is sound to vote a straight ticket for the people pledged to put that program into effect If a single Issue seems to you more important than anything else, it is sound to vote for persons Who support your view of that issue, re gardless of party. If the ability of an individual to judge each issue fairly and to keep the interests of the people upper most appeals to you, it is sound to vote for that individual, regardless of party or any particular issue. But even if you spent your life at it, you couldn’t be fully informed on all the candidates and issues. The ansrver is to do the best you can. It is better to vote on the basis of party allegiance and your own “sense of things” than not to vote at all Your own knowledge and con victions, whatever they are, will be combined with the knowledge and convictions of a lot of other people. As a group we are usually wiser than we think we are. ACROSS 1. Mother 5. Yawn 9 Planted. as seed 10. Worship 12. Pied animal 13. Soviet leader (d. 1924) 14. S-shaped > worm 15.

He had a reputation for fairness, and he meant to live up to it. There wasn’t a person alive who didn’t have faults. And knowing this to be a fact, Mike could understand why such a gorgeous creature as Ser ena Wood fell short of being a paragon. Not that Serena’s faults were any thing to worry about If they had been Mike would never have asked her to marry him. Serena’s greatest fault he thought was her inability to get ready to go any place on time. Mike adopted a unique method in order to cure this deficiency. For a time he decided to fall in with Serena's habits. Thus, he would dispel any possible doubt in her mind regarding his purpose. Presently he would begin to get himself ready on time and sit around waiting. Serena couldn’t help noticing and take heed. Daring the next half year Mike noted with some satisfac tion that Serena had already began to feel his stronger per sonality. She was allowing her self a bit mere time to get dressed for parties, and once or twice suggested to Mike that he harry ap. By the time the six months was up, Serena had improved greatly. He decided to forego his tapering oft letting well enough alone. Three months passed and the situation had taken on quite a new aspect Ser ena, unconsciously, was doing a lot of walking ffom one room to an other switching off lights that Mike had left burning. T HINGS REACHED a point at the end of a year that called for some sort of undertaking. Oddly, it was Serena who brought matters to a head. ”1 realise,” she told Mike crossly, “thpt everyone has their faults. Bat it does seem to ( me that yon coaid attach a itt- i tie mere Importance to things around the boose. I've done my best' to make yon change your ways. I’ve even resorted to arti fice " [ “Artifice?” “I mean, like telling you we have to be at a party 15 minutes before hand in the hopes that you’ll get ready on time.

Harry S. Truman The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President; I see by the papers that the Freedom Fair which was scheduled to open in Washington in 1951 has been called off. I respectfully " ' " ■ ' v.; only thing worth talking about is freedom, or the lack of it, and as you yourself have repeatedly pointed out in your speeches, our people ought to know what they’re talking about when the subject comes up. Well, what’s the best way to demonstrate that there’s still plenty of life in the old liberties? Fastidious facts and figures? cliche’ - studded press releases? Rah - rah - rah edi torials? No, Mr. President, not in this day and ague. As I see it, the best way to stand off the sugar-coat ed strychnine be ing handed out by the kids in the Kremlin is to hand out a few lolly pops of our own, and I can’t think of a better place to do it than a 200- acre fairground within eyeshot of the Lincoln Memorial. Impact-wise, what would such a shindig actually accomplish? Not much. Sir. if it were just a run-of- the-Flushing-meadows type of fair. But it would do a potent plenty 11 it were a mammoth, hit-’em-in-a 11- five-senses whooptydo in which everything from spectacle to side show were built around one simple theme: The Freer the Enterprise, the More Enterprising the Free men. . . Billy Rose cretize in terms of daily living and loving how well our Joe Doakses are doing compared with the Josef Dokczes in the Iron Curtain coun tries. ^ For example, in the exhibit area let our big auto outfits trot out their cars alongside a few Russian cars, and then let them dramatize how many man-hours of work it takes to make one—and, even more important, own one. And along side the big General Motors build ing, let’s have an even bigger U. A. W. building in which Walter Reuther can dramatically docu ment how much better off his men are in terms of union contracts, | working conditions and pension ! plans than the auto workers in the various Commielands. Once and for all, let's pull out all the stops and compare our homes, schools and churches with theirs. Let's exhibit an Ameri can voting booth with a curtain on the door, and next to it e Rus sian voting booth with an N.K.VJD. man where the curtain ought to be.

Of course, Mr. President, there isn’t a chance of getting such a fair on by next year, but if the right words were dropped into the right ears pronto, there’s no reas on why the grand opening couldn t be set for ’52. And, according to my astrologist, that would be an auspicious year for a fair, seeing as bow around that time a certain party will be doing its darnedest to convince the voters that it has a special talent for making democra cy work. If you think well enough of this notion to get behind it. Sir, I’ll be glad to pitch in and help—whether it’s making policy or pink lemon ade. Of course, I wouldn’t do it for free. My fee would have to be the same as I'm getting as ad visory director to the California World Progress Exposition which will be held in San Diego in ’53—a one-pound can of good smoking to bacco.

I declare, Mike, you can’t have a very strong personality.” “Now wait a minute, Serena. Something’s wrong here. We’ve got to have an understanding.” “We certainly have. From now on if you leave the lights burning they stay burning and you can pay the Dill. If you’re late for parties I’ll go on ahead and you can make your own excuses.” “But about this personality busi ness. Now ” “I didn’t mean that you were weakminded or anything like that. We all have our faults. Why, even I have some, I suppose. I’ve tried to help you overcome yours. But from now on you'll have to shift for yourself, unless you can give me some co-operation.” “Co-operation! Why, hang it, I did those things deliberately to break yon of them, and now I find myself doing them auto matically and — and — liking It. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Graham stared at each other. “It’s my fault that you have faults and I have faults because of your faults. Oh, darling, Mike, don’t you see what’s hap pened? We made the mistake of— of thinking ourselves perfect Let’s start all over again — now that we have an understanding, and work the other way.” “O. K.,” said Mike. “O.

How Do You Rate? There are many, many throughout this great nation annual pursuit of the finny denizens Is carried on under a pall which impairs its enjoyment and ofttimes is mysterious in nature to those it enshrouds. For these gentlemen are of that lonely fraternity who are unable to keep a fishing partner for any length of time. Time and time again they are invited out by this or that ang ler of the neighborhoods—some of them their very best friends but, oddly enough, they are seldom in vited twice by the same friend. Why? { As hasy been said, the question may never know the offense which imposes lation is similar t to that about which “his best teU him.” The offense is simply bad or lake manners. To the this might seem like an insignificant item to become 'bothered about— but ask any oflhe angling fraternity and ytm’U find almost one..and alh branding it as the cardinal sin among fishermen. It would be difficult to list the ex amples of bad angling manners in the order of their, undesirability, for the gravity of an offense may vary with the type of angler experiencing it. But it would be fairly safe to say that close to the top would be the offense of trying to hog a likely- looking fishing spot, or rubbing it in on a partner whose luck hasn't been too good* Where is the angler of any experi ence who has not encountered that partner who casually takes all the best of it when in a boat with others? This is the offender who shirks his share of the paddling or motor care, whose sole aim is to cast just as fast as he can. and who is always trying to get his lure into the best looking spots, no matter where he is sitting in the boat. Then there is the Johnny-come- lately to the fishing sport who will come splashing through your best pool, determined to get bis lure in the water as close to yours as pos sible, The almost irresistible urge to commit mayhem on this specimen of angling aggravation would be un derstandable to any judge in the land if the jurist was, or ever had been, a fisherman. The list could go on and on—but the point to be made here is that vet eran anglers who know better tfian to commit such offenses shouldn’t smoulder in silence when a fishing partner commits them. Instead, they should stop all activity at the mo ment of offense and gently but firm ly instruct the offender in the proper conduct. ' At first, this may cause some strained relations or even an occa sional black eye; but it will be worth it. The angler admonished will come to see the wisdom of the admonition, and the teacher, while he may never reap himself the‘re sults of the instruction, will be per forming a real service for some ang ling brother in the future. AAA Night Fishing Tip When fishing at night, one will find it a great help to paint the tip top of the rod as well as the swivel and snap of the leader with luminous paint. This will serve a double pur pose. It will prevent winding the swivel into the tip guide, thus pre venting damage to the tip and guide —and when it is desirable to change lures, the snap can be easily de tected in the dark. This makes for quick and easy changing of lures.
