glorious times in many of the
Branches and the membership
is increasing. The dear Lord
is blessing our work here IN
every needed way.
We are going ahead with the
building work very nicely.
Some of the buildings will soon
be completed, such as Hope
we'll, My Hal land Browns
Vile. We are having hard
work on the Long Hill and
Belmont tabernacles. The zinc
for the roofs of these two new
tabernacles is costing us $780,
90, for which we are fighting
our way along with your help.
I paid down $4,000 out of
what you sent me on Febru-
airy II, 1913. That is why [
asked you to send me that
amount. Last month I got the
zinc and the roof is now COW
cred. The Long Hill Roofing
is also costing us $4,000 for
the Parine roofing. For this
reason am asking you to send
my allowance for April and
May in one and the building
checks in one again, as you
did for February and March.
T am using some of my al
lowance to buy materials to
push the buildingk work
ahead.
We are having a bad
drought in this island with no
real showers of rain since last
November, 1947. The tanks are
nearly dried up and the water
supply is very low. The condi-
ton is very serious in the Sec
tons where there are no riv-
ers.
Please find enclosed report
done on places of worship, and
financial report for February.
We are looking forward to
receiving the next two months
building and allowance checks
in one.
Please accept greetings from
our church here to the Mother
Church at headquarters.
My family join me in send
ing best wishes to you all in
Zion.

Race Track Head Has
"StOp Doping" Plan
AP Newsfeatures

SALEM, N. H. - Lou Smith,
General Manager of Rockingham
Park, thinks he knows the way to
curb doping of race horses.
He suggests establishment of
central pharmacy at all tracks,
where horsemen would keep all
their medicines.
A licensed pharmacists would be
on hand "a hours a day so that the
medicine would be available if q
horse was taken sick during the
night.
Every horseman has bottle after
bottle around his stable" said
Smiths They even keep them for
years until they have forgotten
what's in some of them. This phar-
macy l have in mind would do
away with all of that.
During the past few years we've
had several cases around the
country where stable employees had
confessed to stimulating horses
with medicines containing marco
tics in order to win a bet"
Smith said that from time to
time checks could be made of sta
bles where trainers are suspected
of doping their horses.
Should any medicines be found
in their possession, they would bC
guilty of violating the rule requir.
ing them to deposit those medi
cines in the pharmacy at the yer!

Swiss Plan To Fight Hail


BERN, Switzerland - up - The
Swiss agricultural department will
undertake experiments in blasting
hailstorms out of the sky The ex-
periments, the department announ-
ces, are planned where tobacco
plantations have been subject TO
seasonal damage by hailstorms.
In the fruit-growing areas of
western Switzerland, for some
years rockets and shells have been
shot into hail clouds in an effort to
break them up before they loosed
their lead on vineyards and orch
ards. The ground defenses have
been made mostly by small COM
munities, and local authorities
have not been able to agree to the
efficacy of their methods, For one
thing, the vineyards and orchards
to be protected were scattered
sometimes separated by noun
tains, and it was impossible accur-
ately to measure the results. The
Magadino plain, frequently visited
by hailstorms, and the tobacco
fields there, highly susceptible tC
hail damage, are expected to be q
better proving ground.

Farmers And Farms

A Missouri Congressman OBJ
serves that the present Congress
appropriated $1,123 100000 for
farm purposes for the year starting
July /, 1948. That was more money
than the President requested.
If the farmers of the country
have a friendly-friend editing a
syndicate News Letter from Wash
ington you need lcok no farther for
him than the editorial desk of the
National Industries News Service.
We contend that our farmers are
the backbone of the Nation.
But, just why the Federal Gov
ernment has to be a nurse maid
and fix prices of grains and all
products of the farms is a question
that is never answered.
Our Government gives away elec-
trical farm equipment to the tune
of half billion dollars a year to
foreign countries. Why? What for
The farmers of the country have
benefited by the electrification OF
their farms-not by the jobs done
by the electric trusts, but by the
Federal Government which loans
the money to the farmers-anC
which, Incidentally, has alway:
been paid back.
The finest up-to-date farms of to-
day are equipped with farm ma
chinery that puts in and harvestI
the crops at far less expense thar
the old-fashioned way when horses
and Woodworking farmers did tn,
sowing and the reaping.
If there is one institution in tn,

agriculture. The farmer know
what to do-the trouble is that tn
National institutions and organiza
tions that buy the farm crops an,
trade as well as speculate in tn
value of futures of agriculture ar
too often caught in the act of farm

Germans Bitter In
Jokes About Reds

FRANK FURT = (R) - The
Germans used to joke about Hit
ler's love life. Now it's the Rus
SLAMS who are the butt of the Ger
man story-tellers. Here's sampl-
ing:
A Russian started a discussion
with his German audience after a
lecture in the House of Soviet
culture" Questions were raised
about food rations. He turned them
down Indignantly, saying 81 don't
know why the Germans always talk
about eating. In the Soviet Union,
people always talk about culture. "
Said a voice from the auditorium:
well, people usually talk about
things they don't have"
The dismantling of railroad
tracks in the Russian-occupied
eastern zone of Germany has pro-
duced dozens of jokes. One goes:
Marshal VASTLY Sokoloysky, the
Russian military governor and
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, his American
counterpart, argued about trans
portation in their respective zones
the joke said. 'In my zone, trains
move at peacetime speed again.
said Clay. That's nothing" Soko'
I lovsky retorted in the story. SIN my
zone, they go so fast you can't ever
see the second track"
Here's a bit of skepticism abOu
Russian politics in Germany:
What's the difference between
the Communist-sponsOred) Social

truck THE lumber truck has tn
red flag at it's tail and moves for
ward but the socialist unity part,

Blessings In Disguise

To need something, to have the
money ready to pay for it, and still
not be able to get it, is an annoy
ance most of us have experienced
in the past few years.
1t has been the same story with
highway construction. During the
war road-building came to a halt.
But untold millions of dollars in
special highway taxes paid by mo-
torists kept rolling in. The money
couldn't be spent for highway i'm
provements then, and so il kept ac-
cumulating. The result is a tre-
mendous backlog of funds to build
new roads and improve old ones.
And the tax millions continue to
pour into highway treasures at a
greater rate than ever before.
The motorist has been annoyed
because he hasn't seen this money
converted into roads. With the
needed money on hand in greater
amounts than ever before he's
been asking what's holding uu
those promised postwar highway
improvements. The answer, OF
course, is found in shortages OF
road-building equipment, materials
and manpower.
The situation today is like after
World War l. Then the Nation ex
perienced a temporary period O.
scarcities and high prices. After
imitation ran it's course, however
prices leveled off considerably il
tn highway construction field.
Economists expect the same
thing to happen when the presen
imitation blows over. If so, the de
lays in highway construction will
prove to have been a blessing il
disguise. After prices are stabilized
we should ge able to get lot NOR,
in highways for the enormous
amounts of money now held in re
serve for road-building. Well ge
more miles of better road for tn,
same dollar.

MORE MONEY FOR TAXES
THAN FOR FOOD

Do you remember old boy and
old girl, when Thomas B. Reed,
Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives, long years ago declared
that the reason why the 51st Con-
gress appropriated a billion dol
lars for the first time was because
"the United States has become a
billion dollar country"
The cost of Government this fis-
cal year, despite miles of speeches
advocating so-called reduction of
the cost of Government" is forty
times '\the simple billion dollars
that Thomas B. Reed explained in
Congress.
An Illinois Congressman produc-
ed figures in a speech the other
day showing that President Tru-
mans budget of $39-billion dollars
is taking more out of the pockets OF
! the people for taxes than they spend
for food. Representative Vursell
passed the buck to Truman at the
same time the President laid all
the ills and evils of extravaganza
on the Republican Congress.
Well, my reader the cause of al
this waste of public money is
traceable to just one wOrd-that
word is WAR. If we ever have
sense enough to sidetrack WAF
