ley, 1t is only one OF the many
things being done by the organi-
zation to promote safer driving
in Ohio.
The demonstration will be
conducted by Edward S. Adams,
safety director of the Farm Bur
eau insurance companies, with a
specially equipped automobile.
Yellow paint bullets fired from
revolvers mounted on the front
bumper of the car will show
graphically how much time each
driver requires to place his foot
on the brake pedal and how far
the car travels before coming to
a full stop.
In operation, the driver being
tested will be signalled to stop
BY. the unexpected firing of the
first gun and by the flashing of
a red stop" signal above the
radiator of the car. The first shot
will mark the pavement at the
spot the signal is given; second
shot will mark the street where
the brake pedal is first depress-
ed, thus showing the drivers re-
action time; and the third gun
will be fired when the car is
stopped, showing the distance re-
quired for stopping.
Because of extreme hazards in
making emergency stops at high
speeds, the tests will be limited
to 20, 80 and 40 miles per hour.
Police drivers will be used for
the high speed tests.
The program will begin with
a Commute lecture and movie in
the high school auditorium to be
followed by the demonstration
on the street. Students, teachers
and traffic officers will do the
actual driving for the tests. A
group of students will do the
measuring and recording of the
results.
Mr.. Adams will also give a
demonstration of correct and in
correct methods of turning a car
around along with other safe
driving rules.
Farm Bureau safety demon
stration programs have been Civ
en- before tho student bo6ieS of
more than 1900 high schools and
colleges in ID eastern states.
Their popularity is evidenced by
many invitations for return en-
gagements and an increasing de-
mand for the program to be
brought to other schools. Prin-
cipal Weekley said that invita-
ton is extended to the general
public to attend both the lecture
and the street demonstration.

Urge Big Increase
In Spring Pig Crop

u. S. farmers are urged by the
Secretary of Agriculture to plan
for a, spring crop of 60,000,000
pigs, which would be- the third
largest number of pigs farrowed
in any one spring. The national
total in 1912 was 61,000,0o0 pigs,
and the a1l-time record of "a
100000 spring pigs was set in
1943.
The upturn of II per cent in
the 1949 spring pig crop, as COM
pared with 1948, would allow a
per capita consumption Of. $50
pounds of all meat next year. The
average amount of meat con-
sumed per person this year will
be about 145; pounds, and that
total is considerably greater than
the prewar average yearly ration
Of meat for each person.
The big corn crop is causing
lower prices for feed grain so the
corn-hog ratio now is consider
ably more favorable for the pork
producer than it has been for the
past two years, The 1948 corn
crop will feed out more hogs than
the $4,000, 900 goal set for spring
pigs, but farmers do not have
enough brood sows and gifts to
farrow pigs enough to eat all the
corn. ..
Rural economists at Ohio State
University say that meat prices
are tied closely to total industrial
employment and to the working
mans wage scale. The present
outlook is for a continuation of
present payrolls and of present
wage scales through the period
when the next spring crop will
be marketed, so I949 pork pro-
duction looks like a good enter
prise for Ohio farmers.
Animal husbandry specialists
at the University claim that Ohio
farmers have a little break on
weather conditions so they can
have pigs farroWed earlier than
in some other parts of the corn
belt. The specialists explain early
pigs can be made ready for mar
ket in late August or early Sep
tember if that course seems ad-
visable next summer.

CHILDREN OF GOD

Why the pessimism, you pessi-
mists? Why the cynicism, YOU
cynics? You have reason to be
glad You have reason to take
heart. You have reason to be the
greatest optimists, for recall that
you are not facing the world
alone. Recall that you are the
children of God, and then think
what this means.
THE children of Godl What a
beautiful title for us to bear! And
if you think ! am going to be
ungenerous and restrict it to any
one class or group of my own, let
me ask myself a question. What
have |, Or what has anyone done
to deserve it more than YOU?
Your credentials, my dear
readers, for being the children of
God are much simpler than those
required for Importance in any
of your specialties. For, being
Gods child is nobody's speciality.
1t is the common birthright of us
all!
Do you not exist? Did you not
obey Gods command and issue
out of sheer nothingness when
His creative act required you to?
Were you consulted about your
existence? Rather, did you not
have it mysteriously thrust on
you? We're you not born? Did you
not go through the experience of
slowly realizing that you had ar
rived in our midst and were liv-
ing and breathing in place called
"the earth" a place that had been
here long before you came, and
would somehow or other, carry
on long after you left it? Are you
not now assuredly possessed of
human hands and eyes and blood
and a heart, and a mind that
wants to know things, and will
that is searching about desperate
ly for something to love? If this
be true-and who cannot qualify
in an assignment as simple and
as thrilling as l describe-then
you are Gods child and His de-
light. You came from nowhere,
brought here by Gods omnipo-
tence especially chosen for exist
ence because He loved you, and
now that you are, you will ever
be! You have an eternal worth.

Kirby said that all claims re-
ceived from living veterans by
September 3 have been examined
and sent either ter check writing
or for additional information in
the special irregular claims Sec
ton.
"In the regular examining sec
ton, we emphasized high speed
production and, to insure ac-s
curacy, any claim about which
there was the slightest question
was sent to a special section for
more careful consideration" he
said.
He said it was necessary to
send some 200 thousand of the
700 thousand claims received to
date including many from Noble
county to the irregular claims
section in order to insure accur-
ate payments in fairness both to
the veterans concerned and the
taxpayers of Ohio.
1--WE have now paid more than
83 thousand of these irregular
claims and are making payments
in such claims at the approx
mate rate of 1900 a day." Kirby
said.
More than $50 thousand claims
have been paid since April 28th.
Irregular claims are those in
which
l. The applicant failed, to
answer properly all questions on
the application form, or
2. The applicant failed to sub
NIT the necessary supporting dis
! charge or separation papers, or
| 3. The eligibility cannot be ac-
curately determined on the basis
of the evidence submitted in the
application form and or from the
supporting documents.
I'VE car not say all irregular
claims are the result of the ap-
pllcant'S failure to follow inStruc-
tions. In many instances, omis-
sionS and errors on discharge
documents furnished both army
and navy veterans upon then
separation from service cause
such cases to be made irregular
Kirby said.
All eligible veterans who have
not as yet filed a claim for the
Ohio World War II compensation
| should now make application
without further delay through
their local county bonus repre-
sentative, or full-time veteran.
service officer.
Many recent applications, Kir
!; by revealed, have been improper
~ filed. This shows, he said, tha
these applicants are not using tn,
advice and assistance that
, readily available to them through
veterans service officers.
Kirby said that correspondence
telephone calls or personal visit
with the World War II compen
sation fund offices on the part o
persons with claim number
higher than 365 thousand will
only serve to slow down the ap
| proval and payment on sucl
claims.
He cautioned all unpaid Noble
county applicants to correspond
only to notify any change of ad
dress, unless requested to sub
NIT additional documents or otheI
| information.
