CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

for first cage win\ In four of Cass City's firstfive games, the Hawks re-bounded well and played areasonably good floor game, butpoor shooting kept the teamfrom notching a victory.

And for a while Friday nightat Caro it looked as if history^was to repeat itself.

The Hawks, who folded in thesecond half in several gamesthis year, went behind almostIrom the opening whistle againstthe Tigers.

By the end of the first quart-er, the Hawks trailed 11-7.In a free scoring second quart-er, the Tigers added to theirmargin with a 15-11 advantageand a halftime lead of 26-18and things looked bleak for theHawks.

For the third quarter hadproved to be the disastrousperiod for Cass City. In sev-eral games they took the floorafter the intermission with afighting chance for victory onlyto see it go glimmering as theopponents rallied while CassCity wilted.

But against Caro, the Hawksoffense started to gain .momen-tum. They played the host teamon an even basis, both teams,netting 15 points.* Still, it looked as if the Carohalf&me margin was going tobe enough. With six minutesleft to play Cass City trailedby 10 points.

But then Cass City staged itsbest rally. They poured inbaskets from every angle andwith 3:12 left in the game wentahead for the first time, 47-46. A field goal by Mike Murphyand two free throws by JoeGraham widened the lead to51-46. John Maharg then fouledRandy Lobdell and the scorewas 51-48. Maharg then icedthe game by converting twocharity heaves and ending thescoring.

I Coach Jim Wynes said thegame was a fine team effort

' with good ball handling andvery few turn overs, *In thesecond half," he said, "westarted making the same shotswe had been missing in thefirst four games and the first

half of this one.*Wynes also said that the boys

have developed pride in play-ing defense to help the Hawksto victory. Maharg led the of-fense with 19 points, but sixplayers shared in the scoringwith Murphy getting 10 and Bliss11 in half a game.

LAKER GAME

.Tuesday, Dec. 12, the Hawksdropped a 63-45 decision to theLakers as they were able tohit just 29 per cent of theirshots against the Lakers' ag-^gressive zone defense.

The Lakers countered witha 51 per cent average fromthe field and the result was nocontest. The Hawks againshowed strength on the boards,outrebounding the Lakers 31 to25.

Despite the loss, Wynes saidthat the team showed great im-provement over the Sanduskygame. The effort against theRedskins was probably the sea-son's low for the Hawks. Theymade many ball handling anddefensive errors that they didn'trepeat in fine efforts againstthe Lakers and Caro.

It was a rough week for theJunior Varsity. They droppedan 83-44 decision against theLakers and a 57-51 nod to theTigers.

Anita Torres Nemeth paid a$3 fine for parking her car onMain St. after 2 a. m. Ticketwas issued by PatrolmanJezewski.

Jezewski ticketed TrumanLee Worth, 27, of Vassar,fordriving without a valid oper-ator's license in possession.The defendant had no licenseand paid a fine of $25 and costsof $10, rather than serve fivedays in jail.

Generation gap ...

do you remember?By Dan Marlowe

On that first Christmas, a special Star

shone bright over the Mother ancf Child.

May the Christmas star of peace, joy and

happiness shine bright over you and yours

for Christmas and all through the year.

Generation gap?Yes, you may well be the

underprivileged victim of thegeneration gap, friends, if youdon't remember the good olddays when:

A sing-along was conductedin the front parlor with thewhole family clustered aroundthe piano.

Women's bathing suits de-scended twelve inches lowerthan today's miniskirts.

Riots seemed to occur onlyin foreign countries.

A 200 h.p. engine was mostlikely to be found in a sleek-hulled craft en route to Can-ada.

Mothers had daughters vac-cinated on the thigh "becauseit would never show."

Norman Thomas, the Social-ist, was thought to be a wild-eyed radical and a threat to

Missionary Societyelects officers

Twelve women were presentThursday evening when theBaptist Missionary Society metwith Mrs. Richard Canfield atthe parsonage.

For the program, four womenpresented a skit on "PackingChristmas Boxes for Mission-aries".

Officers elected for the com-ing year were: president, Mrs.Dean Hoag; vice-president,Mrs. Fay McComb; devotionschairman, Mrs. McComb; pray-er chairman, Mrs. VeraBearss; lesson chairman, Mrs.Stanley McArthur; white crosschairman, Mrs. E. A. Living-ston, and reporter, Mrs. EllaCumper.

Secretary-treasurer is Mrs.Myrtle McColl.

The hostess served refresh-ments.

the American way of life.Jack Dempsey knocked down

Luis Angel Firpo, the WildBull of the Pampas, 13 timesand was himself knocked com-pletely out of the ring beforethe championship fight endedin a Dempsey K.O. victory inthe 2nd round.

You weren't with it at allif you didn't know how to playmah-jongg.

Most men slept in flannelnightgowns in the winter.

The youngest daughter in thefamily came home defiantly withbobbed hair, and her mothera) fainted dead away, and b)ordered father to march daugh-ter to the woodshed.

College teams played foot-ball for fun.

The first onslaught of slippeddiscs in the country was oc-casioned by dancing theCharleston.

Mothers favored bloomers asan undergarment for theirdaughters because bloomerswere so unmanageable in mo-ments of crisis that they gavedaughters an opportunity tochange their minds.

The revolutionary idea ofinstalling radios in automobileswas opposed on the grounds thatdistracted drivers would causecarnage on the highways.

Johnny Mack Brown, one ofthe first of a long line ofTarzans on the silver screena few years later, was an Ala-bama halfback in the Rose Bowl.

We fought a war to save theworld for democracy (not theone we fought to save it fromHitler).

Theda Bara was the ultimatevamp in the movies, and if youdon't know what a vamp is,friends, you've just proved mycase.

bustle to count our many blessings,

and to express deep appreciation for the patronage

you have given us. To you and yours, our fondest Christmas greetings!

FOOD CENTERand

PACKING COMPANY

The good things at Christinashomemade at Benkelmans'The Ward Benkelmans of

Cass City enjoy the glitter andglow of Christmas and the goodthings to eat that the holidaysbring.

You'll find gifts and goodthings to eat galore and mostof the holiday trimmings won'tbe duplicated in any other home.

For the Benkelmans are do-it-yourseifs when it comes tobaking and creating. Mrs.Benkelman, who worked atSommers' Bakery for 18 years,handles the baking and Wardcreates the gift items on a100-year-old lathe in the base-ment.

You'd think that a woman whojiandled baked goods all day"would want to shun the kitchenwhen she got home.

Not Mrs. Benkelman! Shebakes all the family's cakes,pies and cookies. One of herspecialties is springerle cook-ies.

Springerles made by Mrs.Benkelman combine a couple ofold recipes, a touch of origin-ality, a dash of improvisationand a lot of experience. . .and the result is a soft, dec-orated cookie in the old Ger-man tradition.

Mrs. Benkelman's cookie

baking dates back to her mar-riage 43 years ago this montharid her first teacher was herjnother-in-law. But now shedoesn't make them like "motherused to bake" and her husbandstill thinks they are grand.

I changed the recipe and theway the cookies are baked sothat they are firm, but not hard,she explained.

The patterns for th'e cookiesare rolled in with a specialroller with various Yule pat-terns. Some are made withanise, giving them a very dis-tinctive flavor.

WOOD WORKER

While Mrs. Benkelman takescare of the baking for herhusband and the various nieces

^and nephews that visit period-ically, her husband makespresents as a result of a hobbythat he has followed for years.

Scattered around the B.enkel-man home are various pieces offurniture that have been pro-duced through the craftsman-ship of Benkelman. Bowls,lamps, salt and pepper shak-ers and similar items abound.

"It just seems," said Mrs.Benkelman with a pleasedsmile, "that every time I neededanything, Ward's father, andnow Ward just made them forme."

The treadle lathe used fortwo generations has been con-verted to electricity, but thebeautiful items that pour fromit remained unchanged.

The wood for the work some-times comes from unusualplaces. Two bowls were madefrom lumber taken from thefront of the Pinhey State Bankwhen it was remodeled. . . .a lamp was hand carved fromnutshells wich fell to the ground-from a tree in the Benkelmans'front yard. There are items ofcherry, butternut, maple andblack walnut among Benkel-man's collection.

BOTH RETIRED

In recent years, both of theBenkelmans have had moretime for hobbies. They areretired. He retired in 1952after working in a now defunctimplement store here, and Mrs.Benkelman ended her workingdays in July 1967.

Both are natives of theThumb. Mrs. Benkelman, theformer Ann Stein man, was bornnear Pigeon and her husband isa native of Cass City.

Both appear in fine healthand are likely to be pursuingPUTTING THE FINISHING touches on another batch of

Springerle cookies is Mrs. Ward Benkelman. Waiting eagerly then-lobbies forto sample the results is her husband. """""" "K~"'mases ahead.

MRS. BENKELMAN examines thespecial roller used to place the dec-orations in the Springerle cookies thatshe makes every Christmas time.

CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

December 2*f, 1967

Dear Santa Glauss

Another big year for our community! One of the biggest, because,as you go over the town, just glance down at our new school. It looksbig enough to house all the children in the county. When the schoolwas built in 1926, one prominent citizen prophesied it wouldn't befilled in twenty years. Another, when asked if he were not in favorof the school, stated, "It was the greatest travesty ever perpetratedon the community!" How wrong they were!

You will note in our community a constantly growing higherintelligence. More young people are graduating from college. Theattendance at the Rotary Travelogue Series shows a desire on the partof the community to broaden its perspective. More esthetes, as itwere! Also the desperate need of a community college is being impressed §upon us and doubtless the college will be a reality in time. |

We are a pretty proud community. Nearly complete! The new |addition to the park should prove of great satisfaction A new golf |course is in the making* ' It is wonderful to take surprised visitors |jout for dinner at our little restaurant at Sherwood Forest Country Club. |

SA few minor things are still needed to make us without question 8

the best town in Michigan - a new library, a fire engine hall, and a »new nursing home. Oh yes, some might mention that we need a new Cass City aState Bank building, but that's getting too personal. |

We would like to ask you one question. Someone said we arehaving inflation. Do you call wheat @ $1.2 and corn & 880 a bushelinflation? Do you call chickens 280 and turkeys @ 300 a poundinflation? Oh ye,s, most everything the farmer buys has been inflatedbut he seems to be deflated.

Also, for heaven's sake, end the War!

Sincerely yours,

IreneGertrudeSherrylJaniceLarryArtFredMeredith

Mrs. Fern Maier and Mrs.Max Agar reported on thecounty Christmas meeting.Gifts were exchanged.

The next meeting will be atthe 'home of Chairman Mrs.Zella Vyse, Jan. 22.

Dear Mister Editor:Ed Doolittle was reporting

to the fellers at the countrystore Saturday night that hecouldn't give this term of theCongress a passing grade. Nowthat they was gone home tomend their fences, said Ed,he figgered this session wouldgo down in history in theminus column.

Zeke Grubb was agreed withEd, but he was of the opinionif things didn't git better inWashington they wasn't goingto be no history to go downin.

Clem Webster of the GreatSociety was defending the Con-gress, said he had saw a re-port from the Bureau of LaborStatistics where a family offour wasn't living the good lifeof these times if it didn't have$9,000 a year to spend. SinceClem ain't got but two in hisfamily, Ed couldn't pin himdown on these statics, but Edallowed as how under them fig-gers, most of the folks in thiscommunity ain't been living the

'good life.Ed allowed as how this cut

in spending they was braggingabout didn't amount to enoughto offset them traveling jun-kets our Congressmen wouldtake this winter, along withtheir wives, aunts, uncles, andcousins. Fer instant, said Ed,we still got 400 Federal hand-out programs run by 150 dif-j.srsri(, vruvsrnnieni. agencies.

Bug Hookum reported he wasreading the other day wherePresident Thomas Jeffersondidn't have but two helpers out-side his regular Cabinet, onefer foreign affairs and one ferthe home front. Farthermore,said Bug, this piece reportedwe had a balanced budget allthe years Jefferson was Pres-ident.

Confidential, Mister Editor,I don't put much store by Bug'sopinion on things. He was solazy he ain't never contributednothing fer the upkeep of thecountry. He makes me recollecta story my Pa used to tell.He said he had two PlymouthRock roosters and one of themwas so lazy that when the otherone crowed fer daylight he justnodded his head in approval.But, like Clem Webster wassaying at a recent session,them science fellers mightcome up with a lectric sparkto put to fellers like Bug andhe could git to be a wheel-horse in the community.

It ain't that Bug was tightwith his money, he just neverearns enough to git tight with.Josh Clodhopper was the onethat was tight with a dollar.

Santa LettersDear Santa,

I like a little dolly to squeezeand some bells to jingle anda new snow suit.

The fellers at the store claimhere a few year back, whenJosh had to have his car towedin and found it was going tocost him $10, he sneaked thedoor open and put on the brakes.

I reckon, Mister Editor, Iwas about the only one at thecountry store that was perfect.

makes children

fear the darkThe dark and a child's vivid

imagination can team up for ascary time, says Mrs. AnnRoss, Thumb extension homeeconomist.

When a child shows a fearof the dark, it's usually thathe's afraid of being harmedby the creatures of his ownimagination. And he's able toconjure up some real whop-pers, depending on which movie,fairytale, comic book or tele-vision program he's just beenthrough.

But to deprive him of allthese pleasures just to makethe nighttime more imagina-tive-free may not be the an-swer.

Why not minimize the child'sfear of the dark? Accept thefact that the fears are veryreal to the child, but show inyour attitude that they are notquite as terrible as they seem.Above all, don't ridicule thechild for being afraid. Instead,look for a positive approach.

Children need to learn tosleep under any and all con-ditions — sometimes with ahall light on, sometimes withit off, sometimes with a toy,sometimes without, or some-times with the door shut, some-times open. Let the child de-cide what different way he wantsto try each night. But if hehas a good secure feeling ashe's going to bed, he usuallywon't need all those "extras*for security once he's tuckedin.

A good secure feeling of beingwanted and loved is a key toa good self-image both in day-light and darkness. The pres-ence of a responsible adult

.(parent or baby sitter) willhelp build self-confidence andcourage in regard to the fearsof the night.

Figures may not lie, butgirdles keep a lot of themfrom telling the whole truth.

A MEHRY CHEISTMASThe sounds and scents of Christmas fill the air with joy andmerriment. May your Day be filled with these pleasures.

Hostetler*s Hodgepodge

He willed his

bones for researchBy Marion Hosteller

Vernon King of Charlotte wasih town last week, doing repairwork on some local churchwindows. He learned the tradefrom his father, and he ispassing it on to his son. Forone of his larger jobs in ,Tus-cola county he has to thank acitizen who was unhappy aboutbeing arrested for intoxication. . . who threw his shoe throughthe big stained glass window inthe Court House.

**#*It pays to have the right

equipment. Passing the HillOrchards at Watrousville theother day, I saw a man string-ing lights around an outdoorChristmas tree . . . using thetractor with a movable elevatedplatform that the Hills use forpruning and spraying fruittrees.

****Life has never been quite the

same since the rural telephoneoperator was displaced by the

. dial system. There are still afew places in the country wherethe girl on the tall stool stillpresides at the switchboard,passing along information aboutlocal comings and goings to-gether with her stipulated serv-ices.

Dan Valentine tells about aSalt Lake City businessman whotried to make a long-distancecall to a very small communityin the southern part of Utah.Try as she might, the phoneoperator couldn't make contactwith the small town. Finallyshe sighed and said, "I justcan't get through to them. Per-haps there's been an Indian at-tack!"

#**#"Have a heart" takes on new

meaning now that it has beenshown possible to transplanta human heart. For some timethe Lions Clubs have been spon-soring an Eye Bank, suggestingthat people may will their eyesto be used (immediately aftertheir death) for research andpossible transplantation. Nowanother service club is studyingthe matter of a Temporal Bone »Bank for research in hearingdisorders. Rev. Melvin Vender,who suffers from Meniere's di-sease, has willed his temporalbones to the Deafness ResearchFoundation. The Foundation isnot interested in receivingbones from persons with normalhearing or ordinary deafness,but if you have something un-usual going on in your semi-circular canals, Mr. Venderwill be glad to tell you moreabout this program.

****A high school coed says bask-

etball players are considered"more romantic" because"football players wear all thoseshoulder pads and shin guards,and you can't really see whatthey look like," but a basketballplayer is right out there inthe open where you can lookhim over.

The Bishop, hoping to strikea happy medium that would keepboth priests contented, said,"Father, why don't you open upsome of the windows, and theodor might not be so pungent?"

"Oh, no," shrieked the oldpriest, "I couldn't do that! Mywhole flock of pigeons wouldfly away!"

The moral of this story,Bishop Brittenton told his ecu-menical audience, "is that wemay have our goats but you haveyour pigeons, so maybe togeth-er we can work out our prob-lems."

Cut water pollution butState's problem remains

Mistakes are well worththinking over - but very de-structive to brood over.

OLD-FASHIONED

With thanks for your many favors andfriendship, we extend our heartfelt wishes

that your holidays may be richin the joys of a real old-fashioned Christmas.

BAY AREA EQUIPMENTCass City

Clean water is usually takenfor granted when we turn onthe faucet, and few of us givethought to what happens to wateras it funnels down the drain.

In most Michigan commun-ities, "used* water flows intoa sewage plant where it istreated and dumped back intoour rivers, lakes and streams.This "treated water* still con-tains an over-enrichment ofphosphates and nitrogen, nutri-ents which promote excessgrowth of weeds and otheraquatic plants. The resultingeffect is foul smells, dirty ap-pearance and a depletion ofoxygen in the water, ruiningit for game fish and recreation-al purposes.

****Pesticides and herbicides in

the state's water supply is alsocausing concern. Bald eagles,disappearing in Michigan, feedon dead and live fish. Tremen-dous buildups of pesticides arefound in the eagles' brains.

Sea gulls arid even the newly-introduced Coho salmon haveshown evidence of DDT. Thesea gull population is alreadydeclining. If amounts of pesti-cides increase in salmon eggs,scientists fear the Coho re-productive capacity will be in-hibited.

Pollutants come from agri-cultural and urban land run-off, from municipal wastes andindustrial sources. Increases inpopulation with accompanyingshortage of public shorelineseriously affect the state's rec-reational and wildlife fa-cilities. Water pollution furtherdepletes wildlife and rendersmany public beaches useless.

##*#Pollution is less of a prob-

lem tiian it was 10 years agoand most state officials areaware of what remains to bedone.-,-Waste oil in the DetroitRiver has been reduced by 90%,and in the next 10 years theremaining 10% should be re-duced by 90%.

#***New standards for municipal

and industrial sewage systemswill be set next year by theWater Resources Commission.In most instances, this willmean upgrading present sys-tems, adding considerable cost.As Dr. Niles R. Kevern, as-sistant director of MSU's In-stitute of Water Research,states, "The sewage treatmentplant, as it exists and is op-erated here today, just isn'tthe method that is going to cleanup our water."

Pollution is not as dramatica problem as it once was ex-cept when there is an occasionallarge fish or wildlife kill. ^The

: Water Resources Commissionis pretty well aware of themajor polluters. It is the every-day, gradual pollution that isthe problem," Dr. Kevern em-phasizes.

****"Terrifying costs." This is

how one member of the Mich-igan Conservation Commissioncharacterized the reluctance ofsome legislators to face thetask of eliminating pollutionproblems.

Dr. Kern supports the costfactor by adding, "The tech-nology needed to halt waterpollution is already available,but it will be costly. This thepublic will have to recognize."

Major authorities note thatfew, if any, of Michigan's lakesand streams are hopelessly be-yond at least partial "repair,"but failure to act immediatelywill compound the seriousnessof the problem at a very rapidrate.

HIGH-POINT DRIVERS

Another study by the Auto-mobile Club of Michigan pointsout that the average Michigandriver is improving steadily,while the driver with a badrecord is causing more thanhis share of accidents.

The 45-page study releasedin November covers traffic con-ditions for 1967 and includesan in depth study of the 48

traffic aeaths and injuries onLabor Day week end.

Compared to 1966, in jury ac-cidents are down 11 % and fatalsare down 13.4%. Of the 57drivers involved in fatal ac-cidents over the Labor Dayweek end, the worst 10 aver-aged 24.8 points on drivingrecords, most of which coveredonly the last six years. Onehad 40 points.

The study notes that nearly45% of all drivers involvedin Labor Day fatalities hadmore than the so-called life-time average of four points;nearly 19% had been called inby the Secretary of State orwere subject to some admin-istrative action during theirdriving careers. Yet this grouprepresents only about 2% ofthe driving public.

****Alcohol, darkness, speeding,

driver error or improper actionwere noted as most commonfactors in fatal accidents. Mostaccidents occurred in familiarterritory, within 25 miles ofhome.

60% of the automobiles in-volved in fatal accidents didnot have seat belts, but of thoseautomobiles which did havethem 81.5% of the drivers andpassengers had not "buckledup."

tails, official and everything.It was a 2-page memorandumhe got from the brother of afeller that goes to his churchand works in the post office.When the- session was over,the Good Parson give it to mefer enlightening your ignorance,Mister Editor, in this matter.

It says, first off, that thesebands was "fat and oval inshape," It makes note to the700,000 postal employees thatthey was gitting "fat bands*because it was easier fer"clerks applying the band tograsp the bands one at a timefrom a pile with less effortthan to grasp normally formedbands one at a time from apile."

Right here, I'm strong infavor of the new bands. Any-thing to reduce the efforts ferour post office boys.

And the memorandum goeson to explain how the bands wasto be handled. "First," it says,"pick up the bundle, apply facingslip on the top or bottom asrequired; second, pick up rub-ber band, place over shortdimension of bundle; and third,pick up second rubber band,place over short dimension ofbundle at the center."

The memerandum had somepictures to show how to putthe rubber bands around themail. Farthermore, it says "atno time will two different meth-ods of tying mail be used inthe same case."

It goes on to say "receptaclesfor bands will be used by em-ployees, to store used bands,which will be used again, ifthey do not break first. Of-ficials will receive progressreports on the entire opera-tion."

The Parson got a standingovation from the fellers whenhe got through reading thememerandum. Ed Doolittle saidthat part about using the samebands twict if they didn't breakwas real economy in Guvern-ment. He allowed, between usedrubber bands and turning offlights in the White House, wewas now having real economyand he perdicted the Federalbudget would drop.

Bug Hookum was also mightypleased with this new rubberband operation at our post of-fices. He said he was worriedabout they might git to wrap-ping mail by computers and hedidn't know what was going tohappen to this country whenthem computers got to drink-ing likker, running around withwimmen and gossiping abouteach other.

Yours truly,Uncle Tim

Hazards of

applying fertilizerBy Don Kebler

Within the last couple ofweeks I have had questions re-garding topdressing of wheatat this time of the year. Itis true we have recommendedwheat, to be topdressed, re-ceives the maximum potentialuse of the nitrogen if it isapplied in late winter or earlyspring.

To accomplish this we needto have conditions of little orno snow or ice cover, hardground and level ground. Asmall amount of snow or icecover doesn't hamper the fer-tilizer from going into the soil.The fertilizers dissolve theirway into the soil quite rapidly.

We also recommend pre-wheat planting time applicationsof ammonium forms of nitrogenon soils containing liberalamounts of clay and/or humus.Never on sandy soil.

Both topdress applications atthis time of the year and pre-wheat planting applications ofammonium forms of nitrogenon clay endowed soils Shouldgive about the same results.However, neither should bemade on sandy textured soils.

The late winter early springapplications on all soil typesstill give a slight marginal edgeon yields over other methods.This is present day researchand field resultant facts. Butfrom here on we must try tooutguess the hazards causingabnormalcies which outweighthe successes of the best meth-ods.

We all know what they are— the snow cover is too deep,the ground too soft and heavyspring rains reduce or elimi-nate the best possible time totopdress. So, you decide to waituntil the best time in late winterand early spring and what hap-pens? You guessed it, conditionsprevent you from applying top-dress nitrogen at all and thecrop is deprived of growth andyield giving supplemental ni-trogen.

It doesn't take many springslike we had this past year tochange your thinking and pos-sibly your supplemental wheatnitrogen application time.

You may decide to possiblyhave a slight yield reductionand topdress now instead ofrunning the risk of not beingable to apply it at all lateron this winter or spring.

****Farm operators are pre-ap-

plying larger amounts of thetotal fertilizer they use thanever before. Their reasons varyfrom ease of handling when bulkspreading, time saving, reduceplanting time rush, insure pro-curement of the analysis wantedor eliminate hazards preventingthe applications of nutrients en-tirely.

Even though this is the trendthose farm operators arecreating one basic new hazardin production. First of all, wehave known for years that assoon as any plant food nutrientis incorporated a change beginsto occur in the soil tending toeither cause leaching or plantavailability losses. There is

Hark theHerald

CHANDLERSCass City

some reverse soil action oc-curring tending to check therapidity of nutrient loss also.So in general the longer thetime period between the soilincorporation of any nutrientand actual plant needs thegreater will be these soillosses. Therefore we can gen-eralize by saying fall plowdownplant food should have lessnutrients available to nextyear's crops than spring plow-down.

A second hazard which couldoccur is when an operator pre-incorporates all the crop ferti-lizer and does not plant anywith the crop. We should al-ways apply some plant food atplanting time.

Lastly, the amount of pre-planting fertilizer for the in-tended crop may be more thannecessary for a substitute crop.As an example, we may pre-apply some sugar beet ferti-lizer and not be able to plantthe intended sugar beet crop.Weather conditions force us togrow some other crop, say cornor beans, on this field instead.So here we are with a fieldover-supplied with nutrients tothe second crop's needs exceptfor additional nitrogen. Thisadds to the crop expense andbesides we should apply somefertilizer at planting time in therecommended band.

It all breaks down to this,you must adapt your fertilizerapplication practices >tothe bestof your operational needs. Be-sides this you will be trying toeliminate seasonal hazards andat the same time you may causeadditional potential problems.

Is he at the "hand-to-mouth"age? - the age of "exploration"?- the age of the "mimic"?- the age of beginning "cre-ativity"? - the age of achiev-ing "dexterity"? or is he atthe age of "specialization."?

These "ages" do not alwayshappen at the same numericalage for all children. But ob-serving parents can see whentheir child is going from onestage to another. And buyingtoys that fit the stage he'sjust going into is usually awise selection.

The "hand-to-mouth" age ofthe infant and tiny toddler re-quires toys that are chew-proof— sturdy rattles, washabledolls or animals, large balls,blocks with rounded corners.

For the age of "exploration"when everything has to be in-vestigated and tried out, Mrs.Ross suggests push pull toysor simple fit-together toys.

The age of the "mimic" isthe child ready to play house —or be a truck driver — or

Letters to Editor

a farmer with a new tractor— or a drummer in the band.He's ready to enter the worldof "pretend", and usually it'sto pretend he's an adult. Thetoys he needs are those thatlook like miniature adult equip-ment.

With beginning "creativity",look for something to expresshis artistic urge like plenty ofblank paper, some crayons,finger paint or simple watercolor. Or tools of the tradeto build skyscrapers may starthim on his way to becomingan architect. Or the sewingsets — even paper doll style— may start a dress designeron her way.

The age of "dexterity" whenfingers and eyes and legs andarms all go where they'redirected may seem like it'snever coming. But roller skatesand kites and puzzles and skillgames will all help it on itsway.

"Specialization" may or maynot arrive while a child isstill in the toy stage. But some-times hobby materials helpchildren gain insights into newfields they've never en-countered before.

Mr. Editor:We .men over here in Viet

Nam do not love war. By allmeans, we hate war. But thereare people over here that areasking us to help them fromfalling into the hands of theCommunists. These people wantto live under the freedom thatevery person in the UnitedStates does today.

It makes our stomachs turnwhan we hear of how peopleback home are demonstratingagainst the war over here.These people should be forcedto live in a communism gov-ernment, then they would behappy to have the freedom theynow enjoy.

We fought in World War Iand II to keep the freedom ofmany million people. We havelost a lot of men over here.It is hard to take it at timeswhen you see your buddy lyingon a floor - dead. But thatmakes us want to fight thatmuch more to win the free-dom for these poor people overhere.

If we do pull out of here,the Communists would take overin a matter of a few weeks.Then they would just keep going.So I am making an appeal toall the people in the world toplease back us and not fightagainst us over here. It ishard enough! So, please, people,open your eyes and see that

not only are these peoples',but that your own freedom isat stake.

Dear John,Enclosed is a copy of the

press release from the 1967NFO convention in Louisville,Kentucky. I wish that I wasa writer so that I could ex-press my feelings, after sev-eral years of seeing and hear-ing farmers called every kindof word, to then have the Vice-president of the United Statestell the 12,000 members thatthey did right in having theholding action and that theirasking price of $1.50 for corn,not less than $2.00 for wheatand $6.50 for milk was onlyasking for equity. He said wewere only asking for the priceswe were getting twenty yearsago.

It was so nice to see thosefarmers leave the FreedomHall, which is bigger than Mad-ison Square Garden, with theirheads held just, a little bithigher. It wasn't the easiestthing in the world to dump allthat milk. Do you think thatthe farmers enjoyed doing it,our children were called allsort of names at school. One

teacher even said that if thefarmers really wanted to solvetheir problems they wouldswitch to growing sunflowersfor bird seed. Now isn't thata sensible answer to a prob-lem? A member of our churchtold my husband that he shouldhave sent the milk and giventhe money to the church. Thisis a fine idea but how wouldthat solve the problem. WhenI went out to pick up my meatfrom the slaughter house, Iwas asked how come my hus-band belonged to the NuttyFarmers Organization, but allthe while they set the priceI must pay for having the steerbutchered. They didn't ask, Howmuch will you give me?

In addition to the vice-pres-ident we had as guest speak-ers at the convention a Senator,the President of PCA, repre-sentatives from Mexico, Canadaand several Latin AmericanCountries. The President of theCanadian Farmers Federationtold us that the Canadian farm-ers were very interested injoining our efforts as soon asInternational agreements couldbe made. We have been calledNutty Fink Organization, NuttyFarmers, Nuts, Freaks, andOddballs, but the vice-pres-ident tells you that even withthe 5% holding that the largeprocessors claim, we shook thecity of Washington D. C. sothat they had to sit up andlisten. Did you know that theGovernment dropped the in-junction put on the NFO dueto lack of evidence from themilk processors? Sure we areold enough and have heardenough campaign promises thatwe don't fall for the old line,but you know it was sort ofnice to be spoken of in a warmand friendly manner.

So the next time the NFOhold a holding action, and therewill be more, give us a fight-ing chance to express ourrights. No one else sells any-thing for the same prices asthey did twenty years ago. ,

If any farmer thinks he canstand alone, how does he thinkhe can fight Ralston-Purina,International Harvester, and theCoca-Cola Companies?

Sincerely,Mrs. Emerson Kennedy

K1M6iBt3l «3OMttOttOtt

"Landslide* by Desmond Bag-ley is on every page a goodnovel with no hidden meanings— at least none that I couldfind. But I did find, this to bea good novel packed with sus-pense and surprise.

This is the first time I haveever read anything by DesmondBagley, but I plan to read morefrom his fine pen. Bagley, anEnglishman, worked in SouthAfrica for 15 years followingWorld War II. Now back inhis native country, he has em-barked on a writing career thatalready includes three suc-cessful novels: "Wyatt's Hur-ricane," "The Golden Keel* and"High Citadel.*

"Landslide* is not a book youcan read in sections. Its storyis much too urgent for you tolay it down, but if you dodecide to lay it down, you willfind yourself plotting to pickit up and finish it! So I sug-gest that you create a block oftime when you can honestly donothing additional (except, ofcourse, eating), just read thisbook straight through from cov-er to cover. It is a relativelysmall book, as today's booksgo (just 252 pages.)

Bob Boyd, a geologist, gotoff the bus at Fort Farrell,with the feeling that he was nota complete stranger there. Heasked directions to the Matter-son Building, noting as hewalked over to it that manyof the businesses bore the iden-tical name, Matterson. Boydwas shaken by the TrinavantSquare, feeling he had runacross that name before.Howard Matterson turned outto be the head man in the manyenterprises that Boyd hadnoticed along main street. Hisassistant was Fred Dormer, whowas not destined to like Boyd.

As soon as an agreeableamount of money was reachedfor testing some borings forthe new power dam being builtby Matterson, Boyd checked ina local hotel, known by thesign as (what else?) MattersonHouse. Then he visited the of-fice of the local weekly, named

The Fort Farrell(!) Recorder,where he asked to see theedition of a special date. Theheadline in that issue read JohnTrinavant Dies In Auto Smash.The story told how a new Cad-illac, driven by John Trinavant(partner in many local busi-nesses with the Matterson in-terests) and in which the pas-sengers were also killed, hadapparently gone out of controlwhile going too fast, ending upat the bottom of a 200 foot cliff.The riders were the driver'swife and son plus one otherpassenger presumed to be ahitchhiker identified as oneRobert Grant.

Bob Boyd recited, more thanread the account, somehow ofconcern to him. Bob had beenin the hospital for some time,and after countless skin graftshas been released still not cer-tain who he was. That part ofhis life, except for the partimmediately surrounding theaccident, he could remembereasily. The rest was caught upwith amnesia.

He disrupts the work at thedam when his geological find-ings prove that the dam is builton quick clay; He is made adesperate rabbit on the runfor his life, when he angers theMattersons. His friends in theventure to find his own identityare: McDougal, editor and pub-lisher of the local weekly, whohas kept praying that someonelike Boyd would be interestedin the local skulduggery enoughto fight it; Clare Trinavant,who gets her delight in life fromrefusing to go along with theMattersons, and becomesBoyd's fiancee, and Clary Sum-merskill, a used car dealerwho joins the little group thatsurrounds Boyd.

That's all I can impart toyou, or you will miss the mys-terious happenings that arewrapped around the story'sskeleton. Is he Bob Boyd, or ishe Robert Grant? This questionhaunts the young man con-stantly. And it is liable to dothe same thing to you even whenyou have laid the book down.Don't ask me!
