YOUTH FOR CHRIST

George Mensik, converted
gangster, will speak at Youth
for Christ.
"Only One Life for Jesus
Now" is his pledge, after hav-
ing followed the downhill path
of delinquent childhood, re-
form school, prison, and a mar
tijuana smoking gunman.
Come to Zion Gospel Tab
ernacle next Saturday, Febru-
airy 21st, at 7::30, and hear him
tell how he escaped from a
wicked life and became a
Christian ten years ago.
He was converted under the
hearing of Gods Word by Rev.
McCone, formerly of Zion.
John Curtis, Chicago Real
Estate man, will produce music
on his carpenters saw, and the
Koetz, Blanks, Ruchti Brass
Trio will play.
Mr.. Mensik will speak again
on Sunday, February 22nd, be-
fore various Youth and Church

them in suspense. They were
so thrilled and excited, they
were just bubbling over, like
Bobby, Bruce, Beve and Jarene
always happy. They too, re-
ceived many lovely gifts from
the folks back there. The
Lichtys gave us a nice water
pitcher and a yellow cream and
sugar set for our house.
Sis and I took some flash
pictures at the Lichty's and
then Mary came home with us
to take some of us with our
gifts.
After breakfast we went out
in the front yard and played
badminton-the first time we
used the set we brought. We
had lots of fun, only we
couldn't play too long as it was
so hot.
Faith decided to have din
ner at night, so we had a lunch
of sliced tomatoes, avacados,
bread and butter at noon.
Bob went up to Mr.. Lingren's
and the Olson's about two o.
clock, so we went along for the
ride. It's a beautiful sight up
that way with the Towering
trees, bubbling streams and
rolling hills.
In the evening we sat down
to the incest Christmas Dinner
you could ever want or expect
any place, complete with plum
pudding. The day was climax
ed with an evening of singing
before the folks went back to
their station.
We will try some Christmas
cake one of these days. Yes,
we have scales and I believe.
we can get everything requir-
ed.
I forgot to tell you that in
the Christmas meeting, Bob
called on me to say something
in Kiswahile-a surprise to me.
[ was nervous of course but I
got up and tried and got out a
short testimony without too
many errors.
Thanks again for all the
lovely useful gifts. Please pass
this on to all the family, until
[ get off personal thank-yous.
I'll have to address your let
tiers to California soon.
Much love and best wishes
for the New Year.

carry our camp equipment and
perhaps a donkey or two if
we can get them. The men, of
course, will take their shot
guns in an attempt to supply
the meat for the trip.
Miss Ratcliff and Miss Pitt
man appear to be fine sports
and are fully equipped for
camping. They made their own
sleeping bags and knapsacks
and are using them for the first
time. Sis and I have concocted
a sleeping bag affair with our
jungle hammock and expect to
make it do. We are packing our
clothing, kitchen utensils, etc.,
in our navy canvas overseas
bags, which are quite handy
for this purpose.
The other girls have a tent
for "the girls" but the men will
just sleep in the open air. I am
taking along some of the water
publication pills Harold gave
me and that will save us the
work of boiling our drinking
water.
According to the predictions
we will be sleeping on the
mountain top the second night
out. We will need plenty of
warm blankets and wooden
sweaters and other heavy cloth
ing.
The mail bag flooded US with
many lovely cards, letters and
packages this Christmas sea-
son. We even had a delivery
on Christmas Day, bringing me
several letters from folks back
home, including your letter
saying you had received two
more packages. I hope they all
got there for Christmas.
We had plenty of activity
here, more than [ had expect
ed. On Tuesday, we had a tea
for the station teachers, Chris
tian workers and their wives.
1t was held in the Church,
which we previously decorat-
ed with evergreens, red trim
mings, and a miniature man
ger scene. The lunch consisted
of jam sandwiches, several
kinds of cookies and tea (ga-
lore). These people really have

THE VICTOR OF
KASSERINE PASS

cording to this weeks (Feb.
14th) Saturday Evening Post.
1t was Brig. Gen. Robinett
and his troops of Combat Com
mand B, LIST Armored Division,
who stopped Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel and the Afrika
Korps after the Desert Fox
had soundly whipped the AL
lied forces at Faid, Sbeitla and
Sidi-bou-Zid, according to Mar
tin Philipsborn, Jr., and Mil
ton Lehman, authors of ''The
Untold Story of Kasserine
Pass" Mr.. Philipsborn, an Of
ficer in the LIST Armored Divi-
sion, helped plan the invasion
of North Africa and partici-
pated in the fighting from Nov.
8, 1912, until he was wounded
at Djebel Maisilla in April,
1913. He is now vice-president
of Zion Industries, Inc, Zion,
Ill.
Brig. Gen. Robinett, from
Mountain Grove, Missouri, was
extremely unpopular with the
High Command in Tunisia, Mr..
Philipsborn reports. He dis
agreed with his superiors' plan
for winning Tunisia, and pre-
dicted disaster in the desert;
his superiors were annoyed by
his outspoken criticisms, and
they were further annoyed
when his predictions proved
precisely right, the Post ar
ticle says.
"Kasserine, and the complex
disaster that produced it, was
one of the few critical battles
of the war, as vital to final
victory as D. Day in Norman
dy," the authors write. It be-
gan on Feb. ..., 1913, when
Rommel lunged through the
American lines at Faid Pass.
"At mid-morning (of the
14th), the Afrika Korps was
rolling in two great columns
through the American defens-
es. The American infantry
at Faid was Immediately over
run, and so were the tanks.
Two battalions of the 34th Di-
vision were cut off. The
battle was going according to
plan, but the plan was Field
Marshal RommePs.
"Allied command channels
were snarled in confusion. :.
There were alerts and cancel
lations of alerts, daring orders
in two languages from three
directions and sudden cancel
lations of orders. The first
days of disaster were incre-
dible, as the confusion of top
commanders spread and ex-
banded through the ranks. :.
By the fourth day of battle,
Feb. 10th, Rommel had scor-
ed a major victory. and the
American troops were retreat
ing.
At that point, "the moment
of defeat" Maj. Gen. Lloyd r.
Fredendall, Corps Command
er, passed the battle of KAISER
inc to General Robinett," Mr..
Philipsborn says. Con Sunday

mand 3 : 1t was all over in

laughed and said, "At teas one

You can be sure there wasn't
any problem as to what to do
with the left-overs.
Musa's mother, an old feeble
wrinkled faced WON a n,
brought her own drinking uten-
sill and insisted on using it,
rather than an ordinary drink
ing cup. 1t was a gourd cut in
half and followed out, MAX
ing a cup about six or eight
times as large as a tea cup.
From all appearances, every
one enjoyed themselves. AS a
group we gave each other
small gifts of soap, head scarfs,
or books for those who could
read (Pilgrim's Progress in the
Tirihi language).
One woman, Kibates heather
Nandi wife, was quite afraid
of the white mans food, and
needed much persuasion be-
fore she would eat it. She was
afraid of the jam on the bread
and wouldn't eat it until her
husband scraped off the jam,
leaving the plain bread. He as
sured her that we were all
Christians and there was moth
ing to fear but she was still a
bit doubtful and just ate one
sandwich, a couple of cookies
and a cup of tea. When she
finished drinking, she picked
up her cup and inspected it
thoroughly inside and out, and
then put it back on the saucer
and leaned back. She was
through-probably figured she
had taken enough chances for
one day.
Wednesday was the day of
our Christmas Sunday School
program and sports. The pro-
gram was planned for 1000 A.
M. and got started about l. 80
and continued until about 2 80.
Children from the various Sun
day Schools performed-songs,
verses, and more songs. Bob
gave the Christmas message,
after which we gave out the
treat of one orange (Which are
more like lines than anything,
very tart and sour) and a few
pieces of hard candy in an old
envelope. The children accept
ed their gift with much joy and
enthusiasm as it was a great
deal for them. When the church
program was over, every one,
young and old participated in
races, jumping and various con-
tests which held prizes for the
winners. Our front yard was a
real picture of joy, hilarity and
happiness as we celebrated
Christmas with the natives. 1t
was about $50 when things
quieted down. The children
were so excited they could
hardly go to sleep, but we told
them they had better, or they
might not wake up early to
see what Santa left in their
stockings hung by the fire
place.
Sis and I came home and lit
the candles on our fireplace
and a fire, and had a great
time ODening our packages

Klein Bill 10 Increase
District Income Tax
Faces Quick Discard
By Don S. Warren

A new move 10 increase LQe
rates of the Districts inequitable
personal income tax as a means
of avoiding a sales tax here will
be shunted quickly into the dis
card, it was indicated today.
Such a plan proposed in a bill,
offered yesterday by Representative
Klein, Democrat, of New York, j
sales tax opponent. who proposed
both a rise in income tax rates anC
broadening of its coverage.
Leaders of both the House and
Senate District Committees, WIG
have accepted 2 per cent sales tax
plan as the only means of meeting
impending big District deficits, have
! insisted it would be ''unconScion-
able" to increase income tax rates
so long as only selected minority
of District residents must pay the
levy.
About $4,000 Pay.
Only about $4,000 of a potential
100000 residents now pay the per-
sonal income tax here, since the
Government salaries of all persons
living here but claiming domiciIe
in one of the States now are exempt
The Klein bill, while proposing a
sharp boost in rates, also would
broaden the coverage to include
those maintaining place OF
abode" here for seven months or
more out of the. taxable year, in
stead of only to those "domiciled'
here.
District Government leaders and
many others have asked for such a
change in the income tax base. but
the House last year Overwhelmingly
defeated the plan.
Belief that such move is a, dead
duck was a major reason why con-
gresslonal District leaders have
turned to, the sales tax as the 'on!y
adequate solution" to impending
deficits.
Sales Tax Bill Revised.
/ Chairman Bates of the Fiscal
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee, where the Klein bill
will be sent, yesterday made public
a tentative draft of a revised sales
tax bill which he will sponsor. This
closely follows the Maryland sales
tax law with some notifications
suggested by the Commissioners
and the Board of Trade.
The Bates bill. expected to be
introduced next week, already is
scheduled for House District Com
mittee action next Thursday. In
formal approval of the bill has
been given by members of the Bates
subcommittee.
/ Under the Bates plan it would
not go into effect in the year be-
ginning July l, unless Congress Or

Cattle Shipped East
to Escape Drouth

The drouth has caused the ship
ment of IA carloads of Wyoming
cattle to feeding and watering lots
near Scottsbluff, Neb.
The shipment, amounting to nearly
800 head of cattle, belonged to the
Diamond Ring and Bumbell ranch
companies of Natrona county. A
shortage of feed and water caused
by the drouth in this area was
blamed for the shipping of the live
stock.

Cattle Business
High, Variable Prices
Retard Contracting

stock are high and unusually vari-
able, with the result that far less
than the normal number of calves
are contracted for at this time.
Prices reported are ranging from
20 cents a pound to 26 cents or even
80 cents. This is much more than
can be accounted for simply on the
basis of difference in quality. Nor
mally that range would not be o
than about l cent a pound. The
simple fact is that traders OF feed
ers can't decide what to do, and
whereas at this time last year al
most all calves were contracted for,
perhaps fewer than so percent have
been sold so far.
Under present conditions we e
the unique condition of stockers ac-
tually selling at higher than fat cat
tie prices. Buyers who used to count
on a price differential favoring the
fat stock plus the difference in
weight for their margin, 10Y have
to gamble on the possible weight
gain only. With present high prices,
they can come close to affording 10
do this, but the situation is pre-
carious for them and they are hang
ing back.
This is not a dangerous situation
certainly not for the stable opera
tor who owns his cattle and is run
ming them well within a sound live
stock-feed ratio basis-but for the
industry as a whole it is not 4
healthy condition.
And about that lvestock-feed
ratio. With ranges Husher than
they r now, it may seem out of
order to speak of limited feed sup
plies, but here are some factors that
operators planning heavy expansion
might do well to consider:
First, cattle numbers in the state
have not been sold down as heavily
as predicted. There are still enough
to put a strain on feed supplies if
it should turn dry later in the sum-
mer and there should be a hard win
ter.
And second, there is little likeli-
hood of any great feed SURPRISES
being piled up this year even though
the potential supply may be great.
With labor short and wages high, it's
going to be expensive business to
get that native hay up, if it can be
put up at all. The tendency will be
to let much of it go for pasture,
which may or may not be available
when winter sets in.
But the sound Montana producer
is in a good position these days and,
contrary to predictions, the con-
sumner should have plainly of meat
if he can pay for it.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-07-01

Kerr makes it a practice to visit the
sheep two or three times a day while
they r on pasture. Some coyote
losses occur, he said, but they are
practically the same under his pres
ent range management system ~
they were when he had the larger
pastures and employed a herder.
