SUGGEST REPAIR
TO SERVICE BOARD

Suggestion t a lie Union
county commissioners repaint the
board on the Court House lawn
which contains the names of Union
county men and women who SER
we'd in the Armed Forces was
drafted by Union post No. 79 of
the American Legion during its
regular meeting Monday night, and
will be forwarded to the Commits
SionerS.
The Legionnaires also suggested
that the names on the Board be
brought up to date, since none has
been placed thereon for several
months.
The Commissioners had request
ed various civic and patriotic
groups in the county for suggest
ions as what to do with the Board.
The Legion felt is should be con-
tinued because, while the fighting
is over, Congress has not yet de-
clared the War emergency over.
The Board, erected during the
summer of 1943, contains the
names of nearly 1000 Union county
men and women who have served
in the Armed Forces during the
war. Most of them are now home,
but there are still many in the
Army, Navy, Marines and Coast
Guard, some of whom are on the
Board but many of whom have
never been added to the list.
While the war was in pro-
gress, names of newly-inducted
service men were added regularly,
but no additional names have been
put up since vi day or shortly
thereafter. Anyone who knows of a
service man whose name is, not on
the board should report it to Dana
Stump, Court House custodian.

SHEEP.DIPPING
PROGRAM SET UP

The Union county Sheep I'm
provement committee will offer the
sheepmen of the county an Oppor-
tunity to get their sheep dipped
during the coming summer months
The executive committee, COM
posed of Guy Green, chairman;
Ralph Herd, Vce-Chairman; and
Walter Kasper, seCretary-treaSur-
er, have recently employed the
Oberdier Brothers, of LaRue, to
do this work.
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice is mailing all sheepmen in the
county a letter encouraging them
to make reservations for dipping,
by May 25. Sheepmen who are in
terested in having the dipping SER
vice should contact the Agricultur-
al Extension Service. After all res
ervationS are made, schedules will
be set up grouping farmers by
communities. The cost is Is cents
per head for sheep or lambs.
THE control of external para
sites is one of the big problems in
sheep management. Lice and ticks
materially eat into the profits OF
the sheep business. Farmers should
use this opportunity to eradicate
these pests from their flocks. Dip
ping is also a preventative for
maggots," says County Agent, D.
B. Robinson. Last year, several
sheepmen in the county availed
themselves of this opportunity by
dipping more than 5000 head of
sheep.
