|Dairyman Discusses
 New Breeding Program
(Release from Matanuska Valley
 Dairymen's Association)


 William J. Sweetman was pres ent at the recent meeting of the Matanuska Valley Dairymen's Association to report on the progress of the artificial insemi- nation program. He told the dairymen that 66 animals had been inseminated before July 1. The Association expressed satis- faction with the progress of the new program.
 MT. SWeetman outlined several points, whereby cattle owners will obtain the best results from the artificial insemination pro- gram. He stated that there is a tendency to request insemination too early in the heat period of the COW.
 The sperm seldom lives longer than 25 hours in a coW," he said, "The normal heat period Is from 10 to IT hours. A COW ovulates three to six hours after the heat period, therefore," MT. Sweetman stated, animals inseminated in the latter part of the period have greater chance of conceiving." He stated that a COW coming in heat after 12 noon should be in- seminated the following morning. Those indicating heat in fore noon should be inseminated aft CT 10 o'clock that day.
 There has been considerable confusion, MT. Sweetman said, as to time of notification. He said failure to notify him before 10 o'clock has cost the Association too much extra mileage and time.
 The best time to call for serv- ice is between g and 10 o'clock in the morning, if service is desired the same day. For animals com- ing in heat in the forenoon he re- quests notification as soon as possible the next morning.
 On Sundays and holidays, MT. SWeetman may be reached by phone only between the hours of g and 10 o'clock in the morning.
 Parker Lester told the group that farmers in Seldovia and Ho- mer had expressed interest in the program, the first artificial ex- pertinent in breeding to get un- der way in Alaska. These dairy men have requested membership in the Association. The group ex- pressed their willingness to ac- cept the Kenai farmers into the organization.

By JAMES NARROW

Chicago, Oct. 15-(P)-This is
the story of how to get to be a
big shot in the book world and
vice-president of a university.
Back in 1943 Lynn A. Will
liams, Jr., was vice-president of
a company making heaters for
airplanes.
He was "a then, and a sue
cessful businessman. He had had
good education. Still, he felt
he didn't know enough.
He heard that a group of top
businessmen here in Chicago
were going to start studying the
great books" classics, like
Plato's Republic or Homer's Iliad
or Aristotle's Politics.
Once every two weeks they'd
meet at night around big ta-
BILE and talk about one of the
books and what it meant, or
what they thought it meant.
A professor from the Univer-
sity of Chicago would sit in with
them and ask them questions,
and needle them, and they'd
needle one another.
What was the idea? The uni
versity had been doing the same
kind of thing with its students
for years.
The university heads had the
idea that problems don't change;
that ancient men faced the same
problems we face today; that
lot of those problems were laid
down and examined in the anc-
lent books. And
That those books were a good
outline of how man in western
civilization had tried to struggle
forward, some selfishly, some
selflessly, to better living and a
better knowledge of the world
we live in.
BY studying those books-really
studying them-it was hoped
students would better understand
the modern world and present.
day problems.
1t was felt they could get ta.s
understanding best if they sa.
around in groups, exchanged
their reactions and cleared up
their own thinking about many
things.
Then the university thought
the program could be widened
to take in men and women who
. were out Of school but VINO still
wanted to learn and think.
So those top Chicago bust
ness men decided they'd start
the study program. When Will
liams heard about It, he wrote a
letter to Robert Maynard Hut.

Stimson, to the War Depart

into the State Department, which
sent him to Yalta to sit with Ro-

turned out the light on Christian

Frankfurter thought it would
be improper of nominee to ex-
press personal views on contro-
versial issues, having said which,
he bashfully showered himself
with new-mown laurel. His own
great virture was a non-contro-

an effective, if not too subtle,

did it mention the Industrial
Worlers of the World, a band of
anarchists who created such ter
ror in Bisbee that the deporta-

Only Soviet Proposal That Would
Help Would Be Lifting OF Curtain

The Soviet Union has proposed before the United
Nations Council in Paris that atomic controls and
atom bomb prohibitions into being at the same
time.
This proposal is not an advance because the hitch
heretofore has been the refusal of Russia to accept in
ternational control inspection which is the worlds
only protection against the secret development of
atomic bombs in some country.
The United States and the other Western Pow
did not fall for the Russian maneuver. Our
country has nsisently stood for adequate controls
before the atomic bomb is outlawed Until this is eff
fective, there is reason why the United States
should give up the protective power of the bomb.
What needs to happen, it, is for the
Soviet to lift its iron curtain not only in regard to
the atom bomb but that the rest of the world will
know what the Krenlin is thinking and planning.

Hunters Urged To Use Caution While
Searching For Game As Season Opens

Today marks the beginning of another hunting
in the The fields will be dotted by many
sportsmen all bent on having wonderful time IN
search for game.
Reports indicate that there is plenty of game in
the area and it is hoped that everyone will get his
share of the game.
There rarely has been a hunting season in the
past in which some of the hunters turned out to be
the hunted accidentally of course, and ended up IN
a casket or else on a hospital operating table,
One of the great dangers during the hunting sea-
comes from carelessness in the handling OF guns
and failure to observe the rules of the road
We urge all hunters to use extreme caution this
season and help prevent any accident deaths
to this hunting season in our area.
If each hunter would take a solemn pledge to
before he shoots and be sure he knows what he is
shooting at, death and accidents be avoided.
