FARM N or E S ISBrsr (By County Agent) Barn Meetings Successful. Good attendance was had at the series of bam meetings held over the county this week. “Hap” Huston gave those who attended some real low-down-to-earth phil osophy on breeding better dairy cattle. “Hap” is a real " man who has devoted many years to this business of dairying. He knows that it is a complex, and often discouraging business. But he knows too and told us at the meetings that dairy farmers on the average need better dairy cows to continue in business in the years ahead. Every dairy farmer now has the opportunity and the responsibility as wel 1 as getting better dairy cows than he now has through sound breeding- program.

WILSON HARDER In the recent survey of in dependent business sentiment on the President’s proposed 10 point tax reform program con ducted by the National Federa tion of Independent Business among its district chairmen, the one point they were over whelmingly in favor of, by a who p ping 93.4% was the recommend ation to place cooperatives under same tax laws as private busi- n e s s w 1th which they compete. • • # : c. W. Hartftr r today’s system is power, and money represents the pester t® mod ernise a business to continue to compete, or to expend to also survive, a private busi ness can only retain that part of Its earnlaya remaining after taxes to make nay necessary Improvements. First earnings must be diverted for taxes be fore anything else. . . • * e But cooperatives who are competing with private inde pendent business are permitted to retain even 100% of the earn ings in the business. Members are given I.O.U.’s on which they pay no personal tax until such time as the paper is pick ed up for cash. * * * Thus, it is no problem for cooperatives to continue to ex pand, while their privately op erated competitors, unable to escape taxes in this fashion, are greatly handicapped. • * * Commenting on this meas ure, one district chairman, a leading businessman in north west, claims over 40% of nation’s business now moves through tax-free cooperatives. Nittunil Ferierttlon of Independent Bmlnen To many businessmen, with the widespread growth of busi ness enterprises under the guise of cooperatives, there is a strong drive toward social ism in the country. * * * As one district chairman commented. “Am definitely for taxing cooperatives the same as every other business. These co-ops are a form of social ism and socialism has about ruined Sweden and every other country where it exists." * * * Others commented unless co operatives are put under the same regulations as indepen dent business, in due time, there will not be employment producing enterprise. The sur vey showed quite a concern among businessmen on the question of providing more jobs for Americans. ■• • • On the president’s proposal to tax undistributed income U. S. corporations derive from foreign plants, 71.9% voted in favor of this reform. • e a As one of the businessmen— district chairman commented. If labor costs keep driving in dustry into foreign locations, there eventually won’t be any source of taxes here.” * * * Another commented “Ameri can plants in foreign countries are there for two reasons, First, to exploit cheap labor; and second, to avoid taxation.” * * * Or as another substantial businessman — district chair man commented “I have checked on the number of American owned plants abroad, and It looks like more to come. No wonder there Is so much unemployment here.” In the 240 page survey report there is ample evidence everywhere, thinking citizens are asking “There may be problems in Timbuctoo, but what about us American folks at home?” Polio Boosters As of now, it Is the concensus of the medical opinion that polio boosters are best at two year in tervals, says the Newberry Coun ty Health Department.

To Attend Assembly By THOMAS COLLINS NO JOB AFTER 65, T HESE people have found a path to their own Golden Years without a retirement job. And they sing with a sweet voice in the chorus of all those coming up to age 65. Outnumbered, and unrepresentative of any but a few fortunate men. But sweet. It is a voice that should be heard: Paul E. Time of Hurst, 111.—“I cannot agree with your line of thinking that a retired man can- lot be content unless he has found mother job after retirement. “I am past 69 and have been retired 11 months. I planned for this several years before I re tired, and having another job was no part of my plans. “We live nead Crab Orchard, Little Grassy and Devil's Kitchen Lakes (Southern Illinois) . . . also near Big Muddy River. We have squirrel, duck, goose, quail, rab bit and deer hunting. Also good fishing at times. “I have a garden, and my wife and I can grow vegetables and fruit. I mow the lawn, work around the house, and fish and hunt in season. I read two daily newspapers, two hunting and fish ing magazines every month, three other popular magazines, and in winter read two books a month. “How anyone could be idle after retirement I don’t know.” Mr. Tune was a locomotive’ en gineer.. M. D. McLeod, Bass Lake, Calif.—“You say a businessman cannot really quit. I can’t agree with that. I was a businessman, and I quit flat . . with nothing to do but improve the cabin we moved to. THESE MEN INSIST “I looked forward to the change for years with a great deal of pleasure, and after nine yehrs of retirement I know it was no mis take. These have been the happi est years of my life. “I can name many retired per sons who are living their lives as they want to live them, who are happy and content But these are people who looked ahead and pro vided all the things that are nec essary. Mostly they are of placid natures, and nature lowers at heart. “Retirement is NOT working for someone else. It is doing what one wishes to do, when he wishes to' do it. and how he wishes to do it” Mr. McLeod was in the banking business (Five years ago he was quoted in this column, and he felt the same way then). Les Schribfcr Sr., Deans. N. j:— “You write much’about idle time in retirement and what to do with it. I offer my solution. “From the time I was 18 years old I have been a collector of U.S. stamps. During the depres sion I started a part-time stamp business to take care of my idle time, and spent time in the New York Public Library reading old stamp magazines. “I am 60 now and have been giving much thought to retiring. Not knowing too much about stocks and bonds, but knowing stamps thoroughly, I have de cided—without the advice of any one—to re-enter the stamp busi ness to supplement my retire ment income.” For a cop, of the new Golden Tears booklet by Thomas ColUns, send 35 cents in cein (no stamps) te (name of newspaper).

FOR BfTTIR HEALTH By C. A. DEAN, M. D. MEDITORIAL: I am sure most of us have observed how easily an obese person becomes short of breath. Even at rest he struggles for air. This respiratory embar rassment ranks second, only to cardiovascular effects, in impair ing health of the obese. It i» easy to see why fatness affects breathing. The additional weight creates more work for the body which, in turn, means more oxygen is hooded. The body tries to meet this demand by increas ing respirations, But the fat ac cumulation unde* the diaphragm and around thid lodge hinders breathing eQMtii&jj. Let me UEut&aW %itti a recent ca*e:i fcxamfctf a trfan of $0 who had gained 5$ pounds hr ten years.' Merely wsUdng across the room causes this man tb huff ak»d piitf now. Previously be could tun a mile Without Working up ii sweat. His chest X-rays, perfect In 1956, now shows a 50 per cent reduction in lung space, the result of fat crowding the lungs and dia phragm. If he doesn’t start losing weight soon, he may end up with permanent damage. Difficulty in breathing is only one of a long list of evils of obesity. Many times I have touched on this matter and I will continue to do so. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to prevent obesity and I have no secret formula or exercises to offer. I can only say that to keep bis weight normal, a person must de velop normal eating habits. This, of course, can mean many things to different people. In every case, however, it means that calorie intake should not exceed calories used.

D. Smith Much Too Anxious At Fourteen THE WEEK’S LETTER: “I am an average 14-year-old girl with something of a problem. Here it is: my sister eloped when she was 16. My parents were unhappy then, but are happy now and all is forgotten. My parents treat me like a baby. They don’t want me around boys. They don’t forbid me to say “hi” or “hello,” but when it comes to dancing or play ing games with them it’s simply out. ! t*o to an all-girl’s schooL I know I’m too young for dates, but I think I should be allowed to go bowling or to the show with a boy at least once a month or so.

My parents don’t let me go any place but to see a show once or twice on Sundays during the month and then 1 take my young er brother along. What shall I do? I know I’m still young and have time, but when we have parties and dances, then what?” OUR REPLY: You are still young. Relax. Your parents ap pear at least to be understanding. Often, when one child elopes, par ents tend to go overboard by re fusing younger children the right to even be friendly toward the op posite sex.

Some teenagers have great difficulty achieving the realiza tion that there are far more im portant things in the world than "dating” — although parties, so cials and “dates” are undeniably important At too early an age, it is wrong to date; in the late teens, boys and girls should “date” and attend social functions, Le., learn to get along with others' If Save a tccaag* prablca ?•« waat ft* eia««M, ar aa •bscrvatlaa la naka, aSSraaa yaar lattar te FOB AND ABOUT TEENAGERS.
