When Autumn Paints The Hills
BY BESS LEWIS

Third Grade Teacher
When God viewed his creation,
The world to estimate its worth,
He called upon his artist, Autumn,
To blend heaven and earth.
How to make such great perfection
Then they began to
What should be the characteristics?
What colors should they use?
Snowy clouds of white for virtue
Crimson oak sin to refine,
For verdant green of life forever
They chose the hemlock and the pine.
For faith and morales without number,
For love and charity and hopes untold
She dipped her brush with skill tender
To paint the naples flame and gold.
Then to finish the innovation and to
Make her Masters dream true
Like jewels, each within their setting,
She made hills shine meath heavens blue
And when the Great Creator
Wants heaven brought to sod,
Autumn paints in wondrous beauty
Her masterpiece, The Hills of God.

Farm Bureaus
Cool OlTOWard
Brannan Plan
Federation Fails To In
vite Secretary To Con-
ventiOn In Difference
On Policies.
By Associated Press


Relations between the Democrat
ic administration and the powerful
American Farm Bureau Federation
once warm and coOperative-have
turned frigid. The political cOnse-
quences may be considerable.
Differences over government
farm policies have become so sharp
that the federation has decided not
to invite Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannan to speak at it's
annual convention in Chicago this
month.
1t long has been the custom of
the federation and other national
farm organizations to ask the Sec
retary of Agriculture to address
their meetings, as a sort of titular
head of American agriculture. -Four
other major organizations are con-
tinuing the custom.
While relations have been grow
ing cooler for some time. it has
been the controversial farm plan
advanced by Secretary Brannan
that has brought the federation tc
a virtual "nO speaking" attitude
toward the Administration.
