Resort OF Monte Carlo
Inhabited in Early Times

Monte Carlo has a long history.
The low-lying part, now called the
Condamine, was peopled from ear
liest times, for there came Phoeni-
clans Greeks, Saracens and Lom-
bards to trade with the natives.
Later on in the early 18th CEN
tury the old fort was built on the
Rock and a new town grew around
it connected by narrow winding
path with the first settlement by the
port. This path now has become
the wide ramp which passes under
the archway at the top. The palace
rooms are handsomely furnished
and well proportioned and there is
an elaborate courtyard around
which the state rooms are built.
In 1867 the duke of York, brother
Of the English King George III, was
taken ashore at Monaco with fever
and died while a guest in the pal
ace. The room in which he died
now is used as a mortuary chapel
for the princes of Monaco.
The casino, home of roulette, bac-
carat, trente-et-quarante. is one of
the finest buildings on the coast. 1t
also possesses a theater and opera
house where concerts, plays, ballets
and opera performances are given
throughout the winter months.

Mountains Save Martens

If the pine martens, valuable fur
animal, was denizen of the low
lands of California, its valuable pelt
would presumably have encouraged
too-intensive trapping, resulting in
serious reduction in its numbers,
much as once occurred to the beaver
and sea otto. Its haunts, however,
are the forest of the higher noun
tains and the rockslides and mo-
raines of the Arctic-Alpine zone.
Roads into marten country are usu-
ally blocked by snow during trap
ping season and a marten trapper
must be equipped to live in a rigor-
Gus climate and usually to trap in
steep, rugged country, consequently
much marten country is not trapped
and the species has been able to
survive. a.,.s :.

Why did the patriots of l776-l7SS fight
so doggedly and against such odds2 Why
did they stick it out-determined to die of
cold, hunger or bullets, rather than give up
the fight and creep YEARLY back to their
farms?
They fought for freedom-for the right
to live their lives and work for their families
without being showed around. They fought
for the glorious principles of liberty, self
government, freedom from tyranny. They
fought for the dignity of the individual,
the protection of his right to voice in
government matters that concern him. They
fought for independence.
On this July Fourth-anniversary of the
birth of our country's independence-let us
give serious thought to what that precious
heritage means to us; and consider well
how to retain it. Let us safeguard the rights

Fi.st Electric Welding

Electric welding originated in
Russia. The phenomenon of the
voltaic arc was discovered by the
Russian scientist, Academician Vas
lily Petrov. in 1901. This arc then
was used by the Russian technician
Benardos for repairing locomotive
wheels and frames. Soon afterward
electric welding was recognized in
England, Germany, France and
other European countries. The pat
ents for his invention were received
by Benardos in 1885, first in France,
Belgium, England, Italy and Ger
many, then in Switzerland, Den
mark, Spain, the United States and
in Aus.ria-Hungary. The Benardos
method was improved by Slavyanov
who replaced the carbon electrode
with a metal electrode.

Groin Weevil Best
Killed Before New
Whedt Goes in Bin

Now is the time to kill grain
weevils in empty bins, according
to County Agent Frank Greeneis-
en-, The weevils do not come in
with the harvested grain but ale
already in the waste grains and
cracks in the grainary lining.
When the moist wheat is put
into the bin, the weevils breed
rapidly. They thrive well in
wheat with more than IA percent
moisture but make little progress
in wheat carrying less than IL
percent moisture.
To combat this pest, clean out
the empty bins in June and spray
with 5 percent DDT emulsion, Mr..
Greeneisen said. Do not store new
wheat on old or store feed in
wheat bins, he added. Damp
wheat should not be stored with
out facilities for turning it.

TreadmiIl Threshing

Threshing machines driven by
horses on a treadmill or by steam
power were first used in the 10Th
century. Later, threshing devices
were attached to reapers and the

ly models were cumbersome, re-
quiring as many as 30 or 40 horses
to draw. but their speed Of opera

Nowadays, "baby" combines, drawn

the government into business has
almost been forgotten by the Demo-
cratic leaders themselves. The farm
plan proposed by Secretary of
Agriculture Brannan has only Just
been presented in bill form and
seems to have the opposition of the
leading farm organizations. The
plan to socialize and nationalize
medicine has been postponed until
1850. Shortly after the session
started, the Labor Committees of
Both Houses by a strict party vote
reported out the bill to repeal the
Taft Hartley law without even per-
mitting the minority members of
Congress to offer amendments. The
bill was defeated and sent back to
the House Labor Committee. The
Administration is still trying to
pass its bill in the Senate. The
civil rights program has gotten
nowhere.
In short, it appears that very
little progress has been made on
the enactment of the Truman
program, except on the measures
supported by the Republicans.
This, in spite of the fact that the
Presidents party controls Con-
gress with a majority of IL
votes in the Senate and 80 in the
House of Representatives. OF
course a large number of Demo-
Gratis differ from President Tru-
man on his more radical pro-
pOsals.
