Trucks Now Hauling Majority of Stock Chicago Yard Conducts Truck Safety Program W. J. O’Connor, general mana ger of the Chicago stock yards, shakes hands with William Boock, Andover, Iowa, driver of the first track through the old stone gate at the yard in the yard’s trackers’ safety contest. the yards last year to reduce live stock losses through bruising. The yards will keep seven-month records on every livestock trucker bringing livestock to the yards. They will check arriving loads for dead, cripples or obvious bruising. At the end of the program, driv ers with the best records will be rewarded at a truckers’ jamboree which contest officials will hold April 6 in the international amphi theatre, home of the International Livestock Exposition. Livestock farmers will benefit most from the campaign since they share a large part of the cost of this annual loss. 'Aim' Pullets for Top Fall Egg Production Will your pullets be in top pro duction this fall when egg prices are best? They should if you “aim them’* by practicing good manage ment, using careful sanitation meas ures and feeding sufficient amounts of a balanced ration, poultry experts report. Too many good poultry men are still inclined to allow their growing pullets to coast along on range or a poor growing ration. Since grow ing pullets are not producing in come, some producers are willing to grow them at the lowest immedi ate out-of-the-pocket cost. What they> should realize is that they are build ing the production machines that will pay off during the fall and win ter months. It must be remembered that pul lets must consume sufficient feed for body growth and sexual maturi ty before laying any eggs. It is just a question of whether to grow out pullets during the growing pe riod or at the time they should be producing eggs. To get pullets in production early, poultry experts recommend getting them on clean range, feed them ample quantities of the best ration.

Premature Pasturing May Buin New Alfalfa Stand A little premature pasturing can ruin what is now a fine stand of new alfalfa, Michigan State college extension authorities report Seed- ings with spring grain crops have brought good stands. But with good growth, some farm ers may be eager to use the crop for pasture late this fall. This, the crops authority says, will weaken the plants so they may be killed during the winter. The livestock truck is Number One around the Chicago stock yards these days. Frank Flynn, general superintend ent says trucks now haul around 70 per cent of livestock received at the world’s largest livestock market. Twenty years ago it was only 3 per cent The livestock trucker will play the major part in a new phase of the Chicago safety program begun at Bring out Bean Pot for Hearty Snacks (See Recipes Below) Hearty Snacks ENTERTAINING the high school crowd after a cold afternoon of football?

WNlJ Correspondent Two Truman Victories »I«HE 81st CONGRESS has passed into the congressional limbo, or some nether region where all con gresses, good or bad, go when they die. And when the 82nd congress convenes next January many of the members of this congress will be left back in the hustings. Some already have dropped by the way- side as a result of primary action, but others will go by the boards as a result of the November elections. But whatever may be said of the 81st congress, no one can call it a “rubber-stamp*’ congress. No one can call it a “Fair Deal’* congress, for when it staggered to the close of its regular business any similarity of its record to the fair deal pro gram was only coincidental. But the closing days brought to President Truman victory on two subjects about which he had been harping practically ever since he assumed the presidency in 1945. One was to increase taxes, not de crease them, and the other was stand-by controls of prices and al locations of materials. He had aban doned hope of ever getting either until the North Korean Reds struck across the 38th parallel. Then both increased taxes and stand-by con trols authority beyond that ever giv en any other president were prac tically forced upon him. This congress has attempted, as other congresses have before it, to invade all the fields of govern ment. It attempted to nullify deci sions of the United States supreme court in the tideland oil bills and in the basing point measures. It attempted to set administrative policies in the executive depart ment by withholding or adding ap propriations; it attempted to in vade the field of foreign affairs in trying to mandate the President to make a $62,000,000 loan to Franco’s Fascist Spain. While the President was failing to make much headway with the fair deal program he did stop short two quarterback sneaks through the weak side of the line with the pres idential veto. One was the Kerr bill which would have added mil lions to the price of natural gas and the other was the basing point bUl. GOP Will Claim Gradit One Fair Deal piece of legisla tion went through sailing. That was the extension of the sociaf security program to include about 10,000,- 000 more persons and increasing the benefits all along the line. The Republicans, however will claim that was a bi-partisan program since such legislation was also ad vocated in the GOP platform. The President also was able to get 20 out of 27 reorganization plans through the congress and enacted into law aimed at streamlining governmental agencies and reduc ing costs. These too will be con sidered bi-partisan, since they were approved and advocated by the Hoover Commission for Reorgani zation of the government and the GOP will claim equal credit. Other victories for the President were acceptance of his Point Four program, Atlantic pact, military assistance program, extension of the Marshall plan. But again the GOP will claim equal credit since foreign policy is supposed to be a bi-partisan policy. But Guy Gab- rielson, the GOP national chair man, says our foreign policy is bi partisan only in Europe where it has worked fairly well. It is not bi-partisan in Asia, he says, where we are having our troubles. 690 Laws Enacted So far, out of more than 690 pub lic laws enacted by this congress, about one out of five pertain to vet erans, their dependents or the Vet erans* administration. This seg ment of the nation’s population now totals more than 19 million and these veterans of all wars won improved programs in housing and rent control, education and train ing, compensation for disabled vet erans and social security credit for the time in uniform. The President vetoed one bill passed by both houses by overwhelming majori ties to give pay raises of $100 for each year of service to postal em ployees who are veterans. It would have meant a pay raise of $163,- 000,000. Reasons given for veto by the President were: increases would go to persons who were not in postal service prior to their mili tary service; would discriminate against servicemen in other depart ments; is not a veterans bill since It applied to only 100,000 out of 15 million World War II veterans, and it would increase the postal deficit. CEO Upholds Truman The Committee for Economic De velopment, composed of business men and industrialists, farmers and laborers and whose research and policy committee is unbiased, unprejudiced and non-political and economically sound, in a recent release virtually upheld President Truman’s stand that all-out con trols are not needed at this time, >ut should be ready to slap on when the occasion demands. MIRROR 0/ Your MIND ^ Child’s Dislike Always Has Reason By Lawrence Gould Will a child dislike Answer: No. But when he’s little, his reason may have nothing to do with you or the way you treat him — it may be the situations with which he associates you. If you are a baby-sitter, for example, a small child may start to scream the mo ment you come in the door because he’s learned that every time you appear, his mother goes away and leaves him, and to him, that is about the worst that could happen. Be patient and realize that he has “nothing against you,’* — until the first shock is over, he would be the same with anybody. you “for no reason”? that don’t seem worth the effort. Letting this make you angry or un easy means you haven’t quite out grown the childish feeling that if you don’t get what you want at once, you won’t get it at alL Make the most you can of your time, but don’t expect perfection. Should you be afraid to “waste time”? Answer: On the whole. No. In an ideal ftrorld, it would no doubt be possible to spend every moment of your waking hours in doing things that were either pleasant or profit able. But as this world is, most of us must spend many hours either “waiting around,’* or doing things Can a person’s eyes really deceive him? Answer: Yes. You probably have noticed that when an airplane flies directly over you, you hear the sound as if it came from a consider able distance behind the plane. This is because light travels faster than sound. But Dr. Hubertus Strughold writes in the Journal of Aviation Medicine that in supersonic flight, the Interval between the time when an image reaches your eye and the time when you perceive it, though only a tiny fraction of a second, makes a pilot “see” another plane some distance ahead when it’s real ly abreast of him. THC BIBLE CONTAINS MANY REFERENCES TO THE ACTMTIES Of WOMEN IN POLITICS — EVEN IN THOSE ANCIENT TIMES. THERE WAS THE WISE WDMAN OF ABEL, WHO SAVED THE CITY THROUGH DIPLOMACY; 8ATH- SHEBA, WHO SECURED THE CROWN OF ISRAEL FOR SOLOMON; MEROPIAS. WHO INFLUENCED THE ADMINISTRATION OF HEROD; THE MOTHER OF ZEBEDEE'S CHILDREN, WHO SOUGHT FAVOR FOR HER SONS. KEEPING HEALTHY Behavior Spptoms Follow Disease By DR. JAMES W. BARTON W HEN A YOUNGSTER is suf fering with one of the Infec tious diseases of childhood (measles, scarlet fever, German measles) he gets every attention from the whole household “because he is sick.” Many children thus learn during their sick period to expect anything and everything to be done for them and even after they get better they continue to expect this extra service from members of the household. Children’s specialists tell us that it is at this point—when recovered from an illness—that many young sters are spoiled for many years to come and often complain of more or less severe symptoms in order to get extra attention. The child develops a dependent personality. That these behavior symptoms, as we call them, are not always put on by youngsters is stated in Post Graduate Medicine by Dr. A. B. Baker, University of Minnesota medical schooL “Appearance of personality alter ations following common infec tious diseases, especially measles and whooping cough, and less so. chickenpox. scarlet fever, and smallpox, is due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). This in volvement or slight derangement of the nervous system may occur in the course of a light or mild at tack of the infectious disease and may be unrecognized or may re sult in delirium, fever, stupor, epileptic attack, headache, vomit ing, rigid neck, irregular breathing and muscle spasm and increase in the amount and number of cells in the spial fluid if the test is made. A number of cases of epilepsy have been traced to whooping cough at an early age.” I am mentioning these findings of Dr. Baker because parents, teachers, and some phychologists, interested in the behavior of chil dren, are naturally going to sus pect the child recovering from an infectious disease of putting on an act, to attract attention to himself, which attention he has been receiv ing during his illness. The young ster may need real care immedi ately following ah infectious dis ease and therefore should be close ly watched for behavior symptoms. Benadryl is helping cases of night cramp in the caU of the leg. The common treatment for an attack of asthma has been an in jection of adrenalin.
