fe* PAGE FOUR Wait Until 21 To Marry? QUESTION OF THE WEEK: “Do you think that a girl should be about 21 until she should get married? If not, how old do you think she should be" C.W. OUR ANSWER: A good age, 21. By this time a girl should be able to think for herself. She should be able to make decisions; to know what she wants out of life. She should certainly know the type of man that she wants for a husband. And—she should be smart enough to refuse to marry anything less. She should realize that marriage and courtship are as different as daylight and dark. During courtship there are roses with every visit, frequent gifts of candy and flowers, constant tele phone calls, and attention to every whim. But, this is courtship. Once the marriage knot is tied, things return to " normal” and, as the old saying goes, the true character will out. By the time she reaches 21, a young woman should realize that the man who is the most “fun” on a date, sometimes is the worst prospect for a husband. He could be the type that just goes on hav ing his fun as though he never married. Or, he might try to buckle down to marriage only to decide in short time that he wasn’t cut out for it at all. What we are saying, in effect, is that many girls who marry too young also marry unwisely. They are not aware of the seriousness of the step. They fall for a man with charm and personality and marry him because he is “fun” to be with —not because they love him and believe that he will make a good husband and father. Marriage is not for “fun”—it is for “real.” It is a real situation, with real prob- ‘ lems. A girl can say “goodbye” and put an end io courtship, but marriage is something else again. There are other problems and the most important one is children. In the writer’s estimation, it is two foolish people who wait until they have children to decide they were not “meant for each other. But, to the question: Should a girl wait until she is 21 to marry? There is absolutely no reason to wait; if the girl knows the impor tance of marriage, the type of man that is right for her—and has found that man.

VacuiA By Thomas Collins EXECUTIVE'S PLAN FOR H ERE is a company formula for retirement. Like others you’ve seen, it has some flaws. But this one has been devised by a business executive who is being paid to come up with retirement solutions for his com pany's 3,000-odd employees, is it: You can’t sugar-ccat the retirement pill. A man or woman who loses a job at 65 undergoes a fundamental change in life. Sweet talk and gimmicks are like giving an aspirin for a severed leg. Two: It is a fundamental change not because of money—Social Se curity and pensions take care of the wants now—hut because a Job is the social life, the civic life and friends of us alL Three: Therefore a retirement plan should pass up the usual folderol and seek a social life, a civic life and friends for those who are retiring. Fear: The best place to find these things is where the fellow found them in the first place—in a job. But since his own company won’t give him one after 65 it can’t very well ask any other company to. Five: But there are jobs else where than in companies. They are in business organizations, in civic organizations, in semi-offi cial arms of local governments, in church groups, in political parties, in welfare agencies, in schools, clubs and the arts. Six: The company should set up in its personnel department one person whose sole responsibility would be to find jobs in these places for retiring employees. This person would have access to company files ard would know the WORKING 'RETIREMENT talents and qualifications of each employee. If a bookkeeper, with a perchant for hymn singing, was due for retirement in six months, the job-procurer would run the gamut of organizations seeking a place for him. The job would give social contacts, friends and some sense of belonging—maybe with pay, maybe without. Naturally the employee could take it or not. Seven: The job would be pro cured not for the day after retire ment, but three months after. This would let him have the travel fling which all retiring employees seem to think they must have, and give him enough time to realize how empty life Is going to be if he has no job. Eight: The company should stop' the nonsense of “conditioning” the employee to retire. The con ditioning means taking it easy and that means loafing, which is a disease. Let it go on for six months, or even three, and the employee retires a bum. An extra long vacation, a leave of absense —those are all right, but a man’s natural bent is to work. See that he works until he retires. Nine: Once the company has found a new job connection for the employee it should encourage a clean break. Retired employees just don’t belong any more. Ten: So maybe all this won’t work. Do you think the elaborate retirement programs the big com panies now have are working? New concepts, even if they’re wrong, are needed. As I said, these are the execu tive’s ideas. Not mine.

Dean, M.D. MEDITORIAL: fading is be coming more and more popular and for good reason too. Unfortu nately along with more skiing comes more skiing accidents. This year there will be about four million skiers in the United States and many in Canada. The number of injuries resulting from skiing may reach 300,000. With this striking number of injuries expected, all skiers should be aware of the hazards of the sport. A recreational skier may travel as fast as 39 miles per hour. Speeds of 45 miles per hour and even higher are possible for professionals. The faster yon go, as on the highway, the more serious the injury In event of acci dent. Inexperience and pew physical condition are major factors contributing to skiing accidents. The sites of the injuries are either the ankle or the knee in the majority of cases. A bone just above and attaching to the ankle, known as the fibula, is often subject to breaks. Severe sprains or actual tearing of liga ments frequently occur. These can be more serious than a broken bone and may require application of a cast.

Pay singer, 2010 East Wells Park Dr., is attending Grey stone this summer. Chappells, we need to do a few extra things during summer months to keep our egg produc tion and quality high. pirst, let’s discuss keeping up egg productio i. Some producers seem to figure that with our pres ent low market, they need not keep up with those things that will insure top production in their flocks. This of course is false economy. Once we allow produc tion to drop due to poor manage ment, it is practically impressible to bring the flock back to top production. We must continue the best feeding and management practices we know in order to stay in this egg production busi ness. One of the best summer “aids” any producer can give his laying flock during hot weather is to kee pthe hens cool. This can be accomplished in several ways. 1. White wash the metal roof of the laying houte. A simple way to do this is to mix builders lime and water until it is thin enough to spray on wth a pump-type bar rel sprayer or any other available sprayer. Whitewashing can lower the temperature as much as 15 de grees in the laying house. 2. Use fogging nozzles which spray a fine mist of water direct ly on the birds Two types of fog ging systems may be used. One is to run a 1-2 inch water line down each side of the house 8 to 10 feet from the floor. Install nozzles 10 feet apart directly in the line. Nozzles should be the size that will put out 1 gallon of water per hour at 25-40 pounds pressure.; Another fogging system that is giving g^od results is forced-air electric fan with fogging nozzle attached that blows the mist over the house. About 2 of these fans will take care of » 1500 hen house. 3. Increase drinking water space. During extremely hot weather hens need double the the drinking space as during nor mal weather. Use additional water troughs or buckets, tubs, etc. that will provide all hens adequate fresh water at all times. Now lets consider maintaining egg quality during hot weather. Herd, afe a few suggestions that will help keep egg quality high during summer. 1. Cooling eggs. Cooling eggs immediately after laying to 60 de grees and holding. them at this temperature will maintain egg quality better than anything else we- know of. This of course means having >.n egg holding room with some kind of cooling systemi It looks like all producers must get fixed with some sort of cooling system as quickly as possible. 2. Preside ample nest space—at least one' individual nest for each 4 hens with clean nesting master- ial. Dirty nests maan dirty eggs. 8. Itsep laying house dry with plenty of deep litter on floor. 4. Gather eggs at least three and preferably four times daily during hot weather. 5. Clean dirty eggs the same day they are gathered. not be counted on to really good crop of hay. One of the best prospects we can think of is to plant this late for hay is Brown Top Millet. Planted with a good season Brown Top will be ready for cut ting in 6 to 8 weeks. The stems of Brown Top are finer and there fore make a, better quality hag than do the other, millets or Sudan grass. Fertilize liberally and seed heavy for good stands and fast growth. Apply 500 pounds per acre of a complete fertilizer at plant ing and topdress with. nitrogen as soon as the millet comes up to a stand* Broadcast or* v 11 at least 40 pounds of seed per acre when planting. Seed of all millets are scare at present. We suggest you locate your seed supply no r / and have on hand when we do get rain. Also remember that some additional acres of millet can provide good late season grazing as as a hay crop. 6.

Therefore cotton farmers are warned to take steps immediately to get this damaging pest quickly under control. The main thing we have to real ize about the bollworm is that once we alloW a buildup, it be comes extremely difficult to get (them under control. Also we do not have as wide a choice of in secticides as we do in the case of boll weevil that can effectively central the bollworm. Therefore, we must be careful to choose the right insecticide, use enough of it and repeat the application several times to do the job. Here are the materials to use where you already have a pretty good buildup of bolhvorms—DDT or Sevin. Use at least 1 % pounds' of technical material per acre. This means using 15 pounds of 10% Dust of either of these ma terials. "When spraying use at least 3 quarts of the 2 lb. per gal lon DDT material. Apply 3 appli cations of dust or spray 4 to 5 days apart to iiisure complete bollworm control. - Keep Egg Prodnction and Quality High During Summer As was pointed nut at our re cent egg producers’ meeting at CLOVER LEAF DRIVE-IN Theatre THURSDAY Journey To The Center Of The Earth Pat Boone, James Mason, Arlene Dahl Added Color Cartoon—Window Cleaner FRIDAY & SATURDAY The Missouri Traveler DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM Brandon de Wilde, Gary Merrill Circus Stars Leading Circus Artists SUNDAY, MONDAY & TUESDAY Old Man And The Sea First Run Picture In Newberry Spencer Tracy, Felip Pazos Added Color Cartoon—Spooking Ghost C7URIN7L China Grizelta 18th century elegance with a contemporary feeling in to direct simplicity.
