New DU Film
A new lull color and sound mo
tion film entitled “Water is Life,”
will shortly be released by Ducks
Unlimited, C. A. Gross, president
of the famed internatiomil sports
men’s conservation organization
announced today.
Produced by Ducks Unlimited
(Canada) during the past summer
months, tike film depicts the vital
necessity of water not only to wild
life but to ttie adjacent human life
as weM. Its theme dramatically
portrays the economic value of a
marsh.
“Water is Life,” will be shown
throughout the United States at
meetings of Ducks Unlimited mem
bers and wiM also be available to
other sportsmen’s groups upon re
quest. Producer Ormal I. Sprung-
man has employed the use of the
breathtakingly realistic commer
cial Kodachrome for the first time
in the new picture. Sprungman is
the producer of many other Ducks
Unlimited pictures during past
years.
AAA
Break for Anglers
Two and one-half dollars of fed
eral aid to make fishing better for
the followers of old Ike Walton will
be spent by the states during the
coming year largely to find out
what fish resources they have and
what cam be done to increase them,
according *to the National Wildlife
Federation. The money comes from
an excise tax on sport fishing
tackle which was earmarked by a
1950 federal law known popularly
as the Dingell-Johnson Act.
Twenty of the first 26 fund ap
plications received by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service were for pro
jects classified as “research.” Ap
portionment of the first year’s Din-
gell-Johnson collections, $2,574,910,
was announced last Sept. 21 and
by Nov. 1 project plans had been
received from 12 of the 48 states.
John S. Gottschalk, assistant
chief of the Service’s federal aid
branch, said when all applications
are in he expects the first-year
proportion to run about 70 per cent
for investigations and 30 per cent
for acquisition and development.
Utah Is First
Utah was first in with a plan to
survey the fishing pressure, the
extent of the angling harvest and
its economic value to the state.
Virginia will launch a similar study
of game fish in impounded waters,
going into fish growth rates and
other biological factors. New Hamp
shire has been granted funds for
two statewide surveys, one cover
ing lakes and ponds, the other
measuring fishing pressure and fish
populations in streams of the Gran
ite state.
* Kentucky will experiment with
farm ponds and make a scientific
study of Kentucky Lake. Maine has
filed fund applications for seven
research projects, ranging from
trout stream management to a.
creel census of ice fishing.
An Idaho project calls for a sur
vey of spawning area in the Sal
mon River and tributaries. One of
the purposes will be to estimate
the losses if and when proposed
Hells Canyon Dam is built on the
Snake River, cutting off salmon
runs from the Pacific.
A preponderance of research is
expected at first under the Dingell-
Johnson program because in most
states fisheries investigations have
lagged for lack of funds. Develop
ment projects, such as construction
of new fishing lakes and stream
improvement, will come later.
Similar Evolntion
The older Pittman-Robertson fed
eral-aid game program, started in
1937 with a tax on sporting arms and
ammunition, went through a similar
evolutioa. Most of the money went
into research in the early years.
During the 1950 fiscal year, how
ever, 50 per cent of Pittman-Rob
ertson funds went for development
of wildlife areas and game habitat,
25 per cent for acquisition of game
lands, and only 20 per cent for re
search. The remaining 5 per cent
went for maintenance of prior de
velopments and for coordination
within the states.
A few states—Michigan, Missouri
and Pennsylvania are good exam
ples—have been carrying on fish
eries research on their own for
several years and are ready to
start using federal aid money for
development projects. Pennsylvan
ia already has submitted plans for
construction of a new fishing lake
in the Pittsburgh region. On all
Dingell-Johnson projects, as with
the Pittman-Robertson game pro
jects, the states must put up $1
to match each $3 of federal aid.

Color Unimportant
This will come as rankest heresy
to many plug addicts, but we’ll
stick with the contention that the
color of surface lures for bass isn’t
too important. Of course, most of
them are made in a wide variety
and pattern as regards color, but
as anglers know, the great majority
of them have neutral shades on
the bottom—that portion which
alone is visible to the fish.
The main factor in fishing sur
face lures is plug action.
INFANT CARE
Government's Baby Book Is Best
Seller; 28,000,000 Distributed
WNU Washington Bureau
Millions of people all over the
world have paid approximately
$5,600,000 for the government’s baby
book and best seller, “Infant Care,”
which has now reached a distribu
tion of 28,000,000 copies.
Varying philosophies on the care
of children from the time they are
bom till they celebrate their first
birthday can be traced throughout
the nine editions of this booklet, the
first of which appeared in 1914.
In that year, for instance, babies
didn’t get a chance at even a table
spoon of strained' fruit juice until
they were 7 or 8 months old, but

He had staked everything . on

up by portraying a neighing horse.

His first year’s work netted him
just $22.50. However, once he made
his dent in radio the impression
became permanent. Bom and edu
cated in Ohio, he’s called “The man

ounces a day by the time he is two
months old. The 1914 baby could not
have solid foods at all during his
first year, other than soft egg, crisp
toast, or zwieback. The 1951 edi
tion of Infant Care, however, says:
“Your doctor will decide when
your baby needs solid foods in addi
tion to milk. Some start giving
these extra foods when a baby is
only a few weeks old, others wait
until babies are 3 or 4 months old.”
Thumb sucking was sharply criti
cized in early editions of Infant
Care. The first edition even recom
mended pinning the sleeve of the
baby’s jacket down over the fingers
of the offending hand for several
days and nights to stop thumb suck
ing. This attitude has been greatly
modified over the years, and the
accepted idea now is that thumb
sucking is one of the first pleas
ures that a baby gets. Many moth
ers now say that it seems to result
in a very satisfied child.
Cod liver oil was added to the
baby’s diet in the 1926 edition, and
was identified as containing Vita
min D in the 1929. Frozen foods are
approved in the present edition.
Infant Care is sometimes called
the “mother’s bible”. It has been
translated into 8 languages. The
government printing office sells the
bulletin at 20 cents per copy, and
has become accustomed to many
requests for simply “the book”.
• • •
INFANT CARE has undergone
major changes since it was first
published. During its lifetime, ad
vances in medicine, science, and in
what we know about the emotional
development of children have alter
ed much of the philosophy which
the book carries.
In compiling information for the
current edition, bureau specialists
talked to doctors, nurses, social
workers, psychiatrists, nutritionists,
and parent educators on what the
book should cover. They asked par
ents, living in both the city and the
country, what they particularly
wanted the book to discuss.
The first draft of the revised
booklet was submitted for review to
about 70 persons outside the bureau,
including 37 doctors, 6 psycholo
gists, 7 nurses, 3 nutritionists, 1
anthropologist, 6 social workers, 8
parents, and 2 parent-education
workers.
Fan mail throughout the years of
Infant Care’s publication has been
tremendous. From places as distant
as Nigeria have come requests for
it, and copies have even turned up
in small Chinese villages.
The present edition of Infant
Care, like those before it, is an at
tempt to bring together the most
widely accepted modern ideas on
the care of children. One unchang
ing philosophy throughout all its
editions has been that babies need
a maximum of tender, loving care
to grow into healthy, happy, chil
dren.

By Richard Hill Wilkinson

crunching wheels of the heavy farm
wagon increased in tempo. Beneath
them, at the foot of the long slope,
Laura could see the buildings of
their farm.
The cloud bank came toward them
with astonishing speed, hanging an
impenetrable gray curtain from sky
to earth as it swept across, the
prairie. Jud stood up and lashed
out with the whip.
Little Lacy began to cry, and
a moment later Jnd, junior,
joined in with lusty bawls.
Laura huddled one under each
arm and said: “Sh! Sh, now!**
But when she lifted her anxious
eyes, she felt again the terror.
The farm buildings were not more
than a quarter of a mile away. Now
they could hear the roar of the
wind. It drowned out the crunch of
wheels; it plucked Jud’s cries from
his lips and sent them screaming
back over his shoulder. The blizzard
struck them like a blast from the
Arctic.
Laura drew the heavy bear rugs
about the children, and bound her
own scarf about her face. She could
GRASSROOTS
Increase in Third-Class Mail Rate Is Desirable
By Wright A. Patterson
E VERY TIME the mail carrier
delivers mail at my door it
onsists largely of third class mail,
irculars, solicitations of one kind
nd another. Things I did not ask
or, do not want, and do not read,
hough they are made to appear
s letters through the use of spe-
ial envelopes, one flap of which
s folded in so as to make it ap-
ear sealed.
An increase in third class
mail should be considered,
raising it to the price of sec
ond class or letter mail. This
cculd be done without imposing
any added cost to the people,
other than those who use it for
sales or other solicitations.
Any increase on letter mail af
fects all of the people and con
stitutes an added government
burden for all to pay. Any ip-
crease on second class mail,
newspapers and periodicals,
would mean an increase in the
'lubscription prices on the news
papers and periodicals, which
the public, the subscribers, |
would pay. An increase on third
class mail would accomplish
one of two things, or possibly
both. It would increase the
postal revenues by all or more,
than the present annual defi
cit, if any, or it would re
duce the amount of mall, and
the cost of postal operations.
It could do some of both, and it
would not cost the people of the
nation generally a penny.
The only ones to bo affeeriod would
be those using the postal facilities
as a means of promoting sales for
their products or services, those
whose business is that of preparing
direct mail advertising copy, and
the printers who produce the circu
lars that are used in such adver
tising campaigns. All of them to
gether represent but a limited few,
not enough to cause any f6ar of
reprisals on the part of those who
might vote for the elimination of
the third class, or for the repeal of
any increase in second'class con
gress may have made in an effort
to balance the postal expenditures
and receipts.
If the postoffice department has
an actual annual deficit, a fact that
has not been proven, the practical
and sensible way to remedy that
condition is by an increase in third
class mail. Newspapers and periodi
cals should collectively urge that
method.

What can we, as individuals, do
about it? We can demand action
on the part of our representative
in congress and our two United
States senators and demand action
in such terms that they will not
fail to understand the full meaning
of that demand. Tell them you want
less new money issued, the govern
ment debt reduced, all payments
in any form to all minority groups
stopped, all government expendi
tures, unless they can be shewn as
essential, reduced by at least a
million.
A sufficient number of demands
will get such results, along with a
decrease in taxes, and getting
those results will stop inflation.
That is your part in the fight against
the inflation monster.

no longer hear the crying of the
youngsters, nor the clopping of the
horses’ hoofs, nor Jud’s shouts.
There was no point in looking up.
She tried it once. It was like being
suspended in a great vacuum with
moving, screaming walls. Even the
outlines of the horses were blotted
out.
The progress of the team slowed.
Jud was no longer using the whip.
He sat humped forward, "'barely
visible behind a veil of snow.
A FTER awhile Laura had the feel
ing that the team was swinging
in a great arc. A new terror seized
her. The road was straight. There
was not a curve for miles.
She screamed at Jud, tugged at
his sheepskin coat. He bent down
and she tried to make him under
stand. He shook his head and
pointed down. She bent forward,
could barely make out the right
front wheel. It was running even
with the whippletree, had not
turned at all.
She settled down once more, hug
ging the children close. Cold crept
in under the blankets. Snow piled
up in her lap and on her shoulders.
The world had gone mad.
Again she had that feeling oi
swinging around. She fought it un
til the horror of it threatened her
sanity. Then she poked her head
from beneath the blankets. Jud was
crouched forward, tense, pulling
on the nigh rein. She beat against
his shoulder.
“We’ve missed the house! I’m
turning back!” She could barely
catch the words. A cold chill, a
hideous fear congealed the blood
of her veins. Missed the house! It
would be hours—possibly days be
fore the storm ended. They had no
provisions aboard the wagon. They
would freeze.
She clutched the children
against her. They never should
have started out. They wouldn’t
have If it had been a month
later.
The storm attacked with a new
fury, an uncombatable violence. It
lashed and screamed and laughed in
hideous triumph at their helpless
ness. Time once more stood still.
Laura was roused by someone
rubbing snow against her cheeks.
She sat up, trying to cry out, re
membering the children, “They’re
all right,” Jud said, “I gave the
horses their heads. They took us
home. Wouldn’t have made it oth
erwise.”
Stiff-legged, carrying a child ir
either arm, she went through ths
shed and into the kitchen. The heat
beat against her face. She set thu
children on the table and went t<

steaming. In another five minute

Building Program
Far Behind Schedule
All-Purpose Bam Has
Priority on Many Farms
Although American farmers have
undertaken considerable construc
tion in recent years, the farm
building program is still far behind
schedule. Farm authorities report
that farm buildings have a high
average age, with the average all
purpose barn dating back to 1910.
For this reason the all-purpose
building has first priority with
many farmers who are interested
in greater labor efficiency and a
better return on their farm invest
ment.
The building pictured above is 48
feet long, 34 feet wide and 35 high.
In addition to being soundly planned
—subject to the individual farm
er’s own requirements—it will
make a pleasing addition to most
farmsteads.
The floor plan shows six cow
stalls on either side of a driveway.
Also provided in connection with
the dairy section, are mangers,
feed alleys and gutters for each
group. The second floor is a hay
mow. Revisions to suit any farm
er’s particular needs can be in
corporated readily by the builder.
A flexible plan for the all-pur
pose barn may be obtained free by

High Production Key
To '52 Farm Success
High farm production will be the
key todsuccess in 1952, agricultural
economists report. They point out
that operation costs will be higher,
especially for labor, machinery and
feed. But they feel the best way to
beat higher costs is through greater
production and efficiency.
Increased production can be ob
tained by use of more legumes in
the rotation, tJsing more commer
cial fertilizer or by tilling heavy
land which is poorly drained but
which can be made highly produc
tive. Modern machinery makes
farming larger acreages possible,
and only through making maxi
mum use of equipment can it be
come a profitable buy.
Another method of increasing
production will be through expand
ing the livestock program. Contin
ued high demand for livestock pro
ducts will keep prices high and
open good opportunities for profit.
The year of 1952 will also be a
good time to reduce the mortgaged
debt, economists gay, and farmers
who do will be in a better position
to weather out any period of
financial reverse, if one should
occur.

Storing Furniture In
Unfinished Attic
QUESTION: I am planning to
store some furniture in an unfin
ished attic, and I am worried
about the intense heat in the sum
mer and the extreme cold in the
winter time. Is there any way I
can protect the finish from warp
ing or otherwise being damaged?
ANSWER: I believe you would
find it an excellent idea to place
a thick blanket or batt-type in
sulation in your roof between
rafters. The vapor-barrier should
face the attic space. This would,
keep the attic cooler in summer
and warmer in winter. If the attic
is kept in thia way at a more
normal temperature, and if the
upholstery is well protected from
moths, also if the space is dry—
which is most important—the
furniture should be all right. Dry
ness is most essential. Dust cov
ers could be placed over the
pieces. If your attic can meet
these conditions it should be safe
to use it for the storage. But if it
is at all damp, you had better
store it somewhere else, but not
in your basement, which would
be still worse.
