hopes Of the 100 pioneers.
It vas just 10 years ago that New
Jersey Cooperative Artificial Breed

Of its kind in the nation-got under
way on a farm in Somerset county.
Now. a million dollars in extra
income a year is Being crossed
by dairy farmers taking part in the
project.
Enos j. Perry of the New Jersey
State College OF Agriculture here
launched the program among 100
farmers.
He had visited Denmark where he
witnessed cooperative artificial
breeding.
Perry vas surprised at the speed
with which dairymen accepted the
revolutionary idea that put the New
Jersey bull in the shadow Of a test
tube.
The origins 100 Jersey farmers
have been jo.n'd by thousands more
in AZ states. There were 1900 cows

Soft Hearted Bartender
Sponsors ChiIdren's Hour

HOBOKEN, N. J.-Now it's a sa-
loon with a children's hour.
The place is by one Parky
Radigan, who has a soft spot in his
heart for the neighboring kids.
He hates to see those children's
television programs going to waste
In his place.
These kids" he says, don't get
to see television. They're too young
to drink"
The idea occurred to him when he
turned the lights up one day after
a baseball television broadcast. The
dark were filled with young
sters, who had sneaked in to watch.
So Parky perused the television
schedules and picked out some chill
dren's shows.
The customers may have been
startled at first but they made no
protest when-as the children's pro-
gram started-Parky closed the bar
and called in the kids playing in the
street out front.
The kids loved it.
For the older boys, Parky plans
an afternoon a week Of baseball.

Both parties figure there are about
a million and a half more eligible

parties r preparing an emphatic

Each has gotten out a sort OF

centrates on how to become a dele
gate to the national convention and
how to help run things there.
Both books would be good for
either men or women hopefuls in the
political wings.
Women Are Determined
Women in both parties are de-
termined to put more women into
political office for two reasons: ID
They like to see women in office.
but also (2) they hope that the party
which is most generous to women

Main Street Work
Is Progressing;
Oil, Gravel Next

Main Street, not so on g ago
the despair of the community, is
beginning to loom W t h an ap-
pearance of neatness h a has
not existed for decade or so
when an improvement of similar
character was made.
A considerable quantity of mix
ed clay and sand has been spread
upon the street surface through
out its length. With the spread
ing finished, and the surface
worked over as to build up a
crown, the third and final phase
will be undertaken-that of OIL
ing. Oiling will be followed by
crawling.
In its completion, says Council
man Bob Seubert, who as street
commissioner took the initiative
in desperation to stop continued
deterioration, the street should
stand up for a number of years.
Weak spots, he pointed out,
would naturally develop as to re-
quire maintenance from time to
time.
The recent cleaning out of cul-
verts that had been plugged for
years nd the replacement of
Others that had rotted to a stage
as to be useless, will contribute
towards the preservation of Main
Street. Inadequate drainage as in
the case of the street being flood
ed during springtime of the last
two years resulted in much of the
old surface being washed away.
Part of the present improvement
has included the replacement of
the damage.
An overall project, however,
must not be lost sight of in view
of the threat of floods from areas
west of Browning. Unless some
! thing is done to divert the water
that courses through Browning
from the highlands into 0 h r
channels, it is pointed out, local
flood control will remain a per-
ennial problem. 1t has heen sug-
gested that Browning make an
effort to get help from federal
Sources concerned with food con-
troll problems.

tributed with posters as a pro-
posed diminutive of a highway
sign. There were a number of
meritorious contributions. judges

Due to the success of the Jun

show at their building Friday and
Saturday evenings, August 27
and %.
There will be a very larg e
bingo game with new and differ
ent prizes, even better than last
time. There will also be moving
pictures for the youngsters, grab
bags and several other attrac-
tions.
Over so boys participated in
the club last year, many attain
ing t h cir first National Rifle
Association qualifications. These
boys have learned how to handle
and shot firearms and how to be
safe in the presence of firearms
which is something we could all
know more about. The activities
of this club last year were carried
out under several handicaps.
First, we did not have regula-
ton target guns, and we were
using those of local persons inter-
ested enough in our younger set
to donate their guns for the use
! of this club.
Second, we h d to buy all the
equipment, including large s,
ammunition, lights and o t h e r
necessary items.
Third, we were operating in a
place, W h i c h lacked sufficient
heat and protection to afford the
best in training and shooting.
We hope to overcome most of
these this coming year, and to
double our membership. We
would especially like to h a v e
more boys in the Is to IS year old
class, as we can offer some stiff
competition in various rifle mat
ches throughout the state. With
all this in mind, the Legion hopes
to receive noug h community
support to really put this Junior
activity over in big way this
year. It's for the betterment OF
our own community and future
citizens. So let's all come down
for an evening or two of enjoy.
ment and help these boys dc
something worthwhile.
