Love has been made in much
the same way since the stone age.
The man must be the aggressor
and the girl should be plant, star
ry-eyed and a little more reticent
than he. Fundamentally there has
been no change in love making
methods since man supposedly
came down out of the trees. Why
should we try to improve on a
method so well established. The
colonels lady likes a lover with
good manners. a sense of humor
and a certain gentleness." But
that's what Judy O'Grady likes,

Each individual has a conflict
in himself in organizing his po-
tential for aggressive action,
either by using and adjusting to
the framework provided for him
to organize his individuality, or
in feeling their restrictive or frus-
trating power and setting himself
against their limiting influences.
Out Of the interplay rises the
dynamic of aggressive action"

Area Beet Producers
HOnOred At Dinner

Continued from Page One)
The consequence was a reduction
in acreage. Because of this and
unfavorable weather the COM
pany's production was about s.
100000 bags compared to a pre-
war production of 8,452,633 bags,
and a production of 9,278,720 bags
in 1947.
In answer to the question,
"What price can l expect to get
for the 1949 CROP" Roach re-
viewed the prospects and said:
eff the cane sugar price remains
at the present SO level, the net
price received for beet sugar
could be expected to range from
S6.70 to $685., and beets of II
per cent sugar at Billings would
pay S14.07 to $14.40 per ton.
AS a farmer, I would plant beets
in 1949 with the expectancy of
receiving a very satisfactory
price for the crop"

that radios. idea Of loveliness is
women who have pearls for teeth,
deep lagoons for eyes, corn shucks
for hair and milk for skin.
I'd rather have a woman who
has teeth for teeth. not pearls.
To me, two or three quarts of
pasteurized milk for skin would
be the most horrible thing to hug
I can imagine, and If corn shucks
or sun-bleached wheat is prettier
than natural hair, then I've been
wrong ever since I was voted vale
