PAYMENT PROGRAM SET UP BY TRPLE-A
FOR SHEEP, LAMB PRODUCERS OF NATION

from S1.50 to $3.50 for medium
lambs weighing IS to 90 pounds;
and $1.00 for all other sheep which
include yearlings, aged wethers,
ewes, bucks, rams, and all lambs
weighing less than 65 pounds. Until
Dec. l, the subsidy is $1.50 for med
ium lambs and S2.15 for heavy
lambs.
The program primarily is design
ed to encourage feeding by offering
the highest returns on heavier
lambs. Lambs over 80 pounds re-
ceive the highest monthly pay
ments during months when lambs
normally are in light supply. The
subsidy also is expected to distri-
butte the marketing of lambs and
mutton more normally during the
season and to divert more market
lambs into legitimate slaughter
channels; also to help producers
meet increased costs without rails
ing the consumer price on lamb
and mutton.
AS under the beef production and
dairy fede payment programs,
farmers may apply for the sheep
and lamb subsidy at the County
AAA office. Payment is made by
sight drafts on the account of
CCC which may be cashed at any
bank.

Union county sheep and lamb
producers can now apply for pay
ments under the Governments new
sheep and lamb production pay
ment program, according to Grow
er A. Hall, chairman of the county
AAA committee.
Under the program, the Com
modify Credit Corporation will
make payments to any person who
sells sheep and lambs to legally
authorized slaughterers for slaugh-
ter. Since the sheep or lambs must
be sold to legally authorized
slaughterers for slaughter to be ell
igible for the subsidy, the last per-
son who owns the animals is en-
titled to the payments, Mr.. Hall
explained.
Farmers should be aware of
their right to this subsidy. They
can collect it directly if they sell to
a legally authorized slaughterer for
slaughter. If they sell to a buyer
who is not q slaughterer, they
should insist on a price that will
equal the regular price plus the
subsidy" Mr.. Hall said.
The payments vary by calendar
periods. They range from $2.15 to
$3.15 per hundred pounds for heavy
lambs weighing over 80 pounds;

ENGLISHLUTHERANS
EXTEND

The Rev. George Dittmar,
Doylestown, has been extended a
call by the First English Luther
on church to become its pastor,
succeeding the Rev. James Miller,
who resigned the pulpit there last
spring to become an Army chap
lain.
The call was extended to the
Rev. Mr.. Dittmar as a joint pastor
ate with the Delaware Lutheran
church. Under the proposed ar
rangement, he would conduct SER
vices in Delaware at 9 am. and
then in Marysville at the usual
hour.
If he accepts the call, it is under
stood he would reside in MaryS-
vile: He would begin his duties
Sept. l. The joint arrangement
with the Delaware church was
made necessary by the shortage of
Lutheran pastors, due to the fact
that so many have become Army
chaplainS.

TOLERANCE is AMERICANISM
By Edward N. SCheiberIing
National Commander

By Edward N. ScheiberIing
National Commander
The finest contribution the A
merican Legion can make to hui
manity in the uncertain years a.
head is to remain ever vigilant for
tolerance and religious liberty. 1t
is needed today more than ever
before. 1t is the only solid base
upon which we can stand in our eff
forts to safeguard the spirit of the
Constitution of the United States.
This sacred document was drafted
by our founding fathers as a pat
tern of government for people from
many lands who came to America
to escape intolerance and religious
persecution.
And The American Legion can
not crusade for tolerance unless
The Legion itself is tolerant. This
applies to every component part
of the Legion'S whole structure.
We have proudly proclaimed to
the world that the Legion knows
no economic, racial or political ties
or creedS. These words must be
translated into deeds as a proof
of tolerance.
Amid the heated passions OF
wartime, when anger and hatred
are abroad, it is particularly inn
portant that we in the Legion
should remain cool when confront
ed by the foes of justice. The
greatest of these foes is intoler-
ance-unWillingneSS to treat fair
ly persons of all races, all creeds,
all colorS.
Fighting under the Stars and
Stripes today are men of virtually
every race and creed. There are no
class or race distinctions in our
fighting forces. No such diStinc-
tion should be permitted on the
homefront. When they are in e.
Vidence, the Legion should be the
first to stamp them out.
The American Legion, created by
men who fought all forms of intol-
erance in time of war, is an organi-
zation of great influence. The Le-
gion can be no stronger than its
weakest link.
One of the halloWed ShrineS for
every Legionnaire is the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier-a man
known but to God. No living NOR
tai can testify to whether he is
Jew, Gentle, Negro or of any
other race. We honor him as an
American soldier who gave his
life in the cause of world under
standing and tolerance. The Ameri-
can Legion has always maintain
ed that bigotry and race hatred
have no place in American life.
For the Legion to be a party to
any single act of intolerance; for
the Legion to sanction any such
act by passive approval, is out of
all accord with the principles to
which the Legion is dedicated.
One of the greatest evils that
could befall our great organiza-
ton is for the men and women on
our global fronts to fear that the
Legion stands for Americanism in
word, but not in deed.
There can be no AmeriCanism
without lasting tolerance.
