Land Prices Set
Too High, Says
County FSA Aid

Qualified World War II veterans
who want to buy family-size farms
in Imperial county will have little
trouble getting adequate credit. But
they will have plenty of trouble find
ing farms which can be bought at
reasonable prices, Leonard D. Web
ster, Imperial county supervisor for
the Farm Security Administration,
said Wednesday.
The county FSA supervisor said
there are plenty of Imperial county
farms for sale, but that prices in
many cases are inflated so per cent
or more. The county FSA advisory
committee, which Webster said must
approve all farm purchase loans,
has indicated it will turn down any
application to buy a farm at more
than its earning capacity. Web
ster said that he, and members of
the committee, all of whom are
Imperial county farmers, are help
ing veterans search for good farm
purchase opportunities. Up to the
present, however, not more than a
dozen veterans have sought aid from
the committee. This, Webster attri-
butes to the small number of veter-
ans who have been returned from
service to Imperial county.
Webster said that the G.I. Bill
Of Rights, make veterans eligible
for Bankhead-Jones farm purchase
leans on the same basis as tenants.
These loans, which may be for as
much as $4,000, are repayable over
q 40-year period at three per cent
interest. Loans are made through
banks or other lending agencies.

REVERSE TWIST

When Paul Richards, the lanky Tigers catcher, performed at Mus kogee, Okla. back in 1928, he was a utility infielder who threw so hard the first baseman complained he couldn't see the ball and, at times, served as an ambidextrous pitcher, but his best trick was to start from first base at dead run backwards. And fans recall that the pitchers used to throw the ball away in bewilderment.

The Young Idea

We remember when we were teen
ayers, not SO long ago, and our pas
sion to be one of the gang could
have stood up any day against the
clamor We hear today about frankie
and Van. We wouldn't DREAM Of
wearing socks that matched our
skirt-they simply HAD to match
our sweater. And when it rained
We wore raincoats, scarves on our
heads, and high boots, and the gal
who carried an urnbrella-unless a
cloudburst occurred, and who'd ven
ture out in cloudburst anyway
simply stamped herself q hopeless
drip. To this day our knowledge of
football Is amazingly elementary
although we cheered along with the
best Of them. Not for all the world
would we Scofn the game, since
well, since EVERYBODY liked 1t.
We suspect now that everybody else
was right. but that's beside this par
ticular point.
The thing we're getting at is the
TACT that to be different amounted,
we felt, to social suicide. You chose
the crowd you felt akin to; you
adopted their ways and interests.
You didn't completely submerge
your own interests-but you DID
point up those that were "the thing"
at the moment. You danced, you
cheered, you collected records, ct al,
and most OF 1t you enjoyed; maybe
some OF 1t was Just a wee bit boring
but the crowd gave you its stamp
OF approval, SO the effort was all
very worthwhile.
This business Of conforming can
be good or bad, depending on the
degree. Naturally we assure you'll
select as your guide crowd whose
standards will do you-and them
proud. But even then it's not good
idea to conform whole hog.
What we're getting at right now is
this-in cultivating the right atti-
tude, and the right Jargon, and the
right interests to please your crowd,
don't forget the Importance of de-
veioping genuine interests-the kind
you'll still enjoy when it's no longer
smart" the activities that you
naturally take to, that tie up with
your particular personality and
talents.
You're having fun, you're learning
to get along with people-particu-
larly the opposite sex-during these
teen years, but you're also laying
the groundwork for the kind of adult
you're going to be. We wish we
could think of less trite way toI
express the latter, but that's the
way it is. If you're now a crowd
follower to the extent that your
every enthusiasm is virtually die
tated by the enthusiasms of the
crowd, with you selections and dis
cards made solely on the basis of
the smart" thing to do, you're in
for humpty dumpty fall. Some
day there isn't going to be any one
to look-it's up to you to see that
your interests mean something to
you personally, that you can enjoy
them without benefit of an audi
ence. Because that's the way it's
going to be, if you really grow up
now's the time to learn the trick.
And here's something else, speak
ing of interests. u You don't have to
be champion to have fun. You say
you're not athletic-chances are,
you mean that you made a dope of
yourself when you took a crack at
tennis last year, and every one else

point is that you can have fun doing
your best, even If it's roughly COM
parable to the champions worst.
and you don't have to be winner
to establish your right to the court.
Don't limit yourself only to the ac-
tiyities in which you shine-after
all, it takes lot of time and prac-
tice and skill to hit the top In any
particular field. Excellence needn't
be your dish-an honest crack at
something, good sportsmanship, en-
thusiasm and sense Of humor
make lots of activities fun, even
when your ability rating is far be-
low 100.
Being interested in things. In
people, Is a habit-one Of the most
valuable habits you can ever culti-
vate. It's part of that deal we men

that there are many interesting sub
lects beside ourselves. You can al
ways spot an interesting person a
mile on because she's usually sur
