can avoid messiness in the* house

greenery such as mistletoe. You
can spray it a festive gold if you
really want to make it fancy.
If there are toddlers in your

reach. Plastic foam ornaments are
also good for this purpose.
A good way to display Christ

WIDE, WONDERFUL
WORLD
By FRANKLIN J. MEINE
Editor, the American Peoples
Encyclopedia.
T HE flying team of Daedalus
and Icarus never had a chance
to reach the sun. Even though
solar heat hadn’t melted their
wax wings, the high altitude would
have resulted in the first space
travel casualty. When flying, the
effects of oxygen want are usually
not felt below 5,000 feet. Up to
10,000 feet they usually are not
serious. Flying above 10,000 feet
may give the flyer a false sense
of well-being. Every act requires
more effort above 14,000 feet, and
vision and judgement are im
paired. From 23,000 to 25,000 is
considered the maximum to which
man can ascend for brief periods
without supplementary oxygen.
However, some barrel-chested
Chilean natives live at altitudes
of 17,000 feet and work in mines
at altitudes as high as 19,000 feet.

THS .
By LYN CONNELLY
DUDDING actors and actresses,
take this advice from Betsy
Palmer—be a television panelist
if you possibly can . . . The pretty
blonde panel member of ABC-
TV’s “Masquerade Party” thinks
that paneling has some definite
advantages over acting—although
she wouldn’t advise anyone to
forsake a million dollar Holly
wood acting career . . . “In pan
eling,” says Betsy. ‘There’s no
scene-stealing . . . You don’t run
into the same rivalry that you
often do among acton . . . Since
every panelist has his own field,
his own techniques and delivery,
you’re not competing for atten
tion. . . . The only rivalry comes
from trying to guess a guest’s
identity, and that’s a game.
“There’s another important ad
vantage to paneling; you don’t
have to memorize dialogue ...
That’s * particular blessing for
people with poor memories” . . .
Betsy gogr, on to point out that
working on a panel does away
with long rehearsals, moving from
one location to another, and the
101 worries connected with keep
ing your name in the bright
lights.
Bat If yoa think the 26-year-old
actress Is giving ap her acting
career for qois panels, you’re
wrong . . . She’s been noting since
college days and feels there’s toe
much of the ham in her to stay
away from the stage or camera
very long . . . You may have
seen Betsy in the movies "The
Long Gray Line,** "Queen Bee**
and "Mr. Roberts” . . . Last
summer she was active in sum
mer stock and before that she had
a fairly good role in the short
lived Broadway play “Affair of
Honor** . . . She’s also done a
number of TV plays.
When not involved with TV,
Betsy lives the life of a house
wife (a very good one, say her
friends) with her obstetrician hus
band, Dr. V. J. Merendino . . .
Other pursuits include reading, a
wide variety of outdoor sports,
piano-playing and singing lessons.

"I REMEMBER”
BY THS OLD TIMERS
From Harvey A. Heath, Detroit,
Michigan; I remember when the
trains pulling the freight across
the "Great Nebraska Desert*’
would have engineers that tooted
a greeting as they passed your
homestead shack. We never ate
refrigerated fruit and vegetables.
Until I was grown and went
."away” to school, I had never had
fresh fruit, except a Christmas
Orange, or fresh green vegetables
in the winter time.
We did our own butchering,
canned extra vegetables during
the summer and made sauerkraut,
stomping method, and sold corn
at 10c a bushel and potatoes at
about the same price. Purchases
were seldom made in cash.
We hunted, ate what we raised,
built own soddy (dug-out with sod
chunks above ground), later years
baled hay or thick bales of straw
for use above ground. With ce
ment and plaster inside and out,
the foot-thick bales of straw made
a warm and durable construction
for both man and beast, and on
Sunday we worshipped in a straw-
baled church with a wooden spire
pointing heavenward. Laymen
took turns preaching, as mission
ary preachers came our way only
once in a while.
In later years, after I began
teaching school, I walked. 15 miles
each way, every week-end, to see
the girl that has now been my wife
for over 33 years.

County Youth Is <
State Winner Of
Turkey Award
By J- O. Donkle. Ast. Co. Agent
Freddie Fulmer, 12 Vear-old
8th grade 4-H member of Little
Mountain has been declared state
winner of the National Turkey
Federation Youth Achievement
Award for outstanding work in
turkey production, in 1956. Fred
dies is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Fulmer.
Freddie started 350 poults in
an old brooder house that had
been discarded by his father. He
put the old house back into con
dition by using scrap materials
and by lining the inside with
cardboard. Despite the fact 1£at
50 of his poults were culls he
was still able to hold his losses
to 33 and all were lost before
they were 13 weeks old. The birds
were marketed at 25 and 2 7
weeks for a profit of $2.29 per
bird. His cost of production in
cluding cost of grazing, feed, fuel
medication and poults was 20.2
cents per pound.
Freddie followed general rec
ommendations to the letter and,
as his record indicates, did an
outstanding job.
Not only has Freddie done an
outstanding job in his first year
of raising turkeys but he can
claim many other enviable accom
plishments as well, as this not*
from J. O. Donkle, Assist. County
agent points out: “Fred has dcgie
outstanding work with his pro
jects in 4-H club work. He has
successfully completed all pro
jects he has started. Not only is
Fred above the average with his
project work he is equally above
the average leader.
In 1954 he was club treasurer,
1955 vice president and in 1956
president. In the dairy calf club
he was vice president in 1955 and
secretary in 1956.

Southeastern Aromatic Tobacco
Company of Anderson at prices
ranging from 20c a pound on the
lower leaves to $1.37 a poui.d on
the top leaves. Interest in tobac
co farming has progressed rapid
ly during the past six years, with
growers increasing from one in
1951 to 34 this year. %
