But Ferrier and his wife had

When others are hopelessly out OF

Golf is Terriers business. When

Ferrier fell into disfavf in the

Of his "a years.
But this is not q popularity con-

Snead. He was the PGA medalist
in 1885, was the champion in 1887.
Big Jim defeated Chick Harbert
with one of the greatest putting
exhibitions on record. In IS holes
Ferrier did not use his putter
more than once on any green.
Every putt either went in the cup
or within 6 inches and the putt

for implanting the pellets, is more
expensive than the feeding of ca
pons. AS with all animals, the altered
male makes greater gains on a pound
of feed than the unaltered one does.
Therefore, we find it better to per-
form the operation as early as pos
sible. Some bulletins state that the
operation should be performed
when the bird is about 2 pounds in
weight. That is too late in my esti-
nation. 1t is much better to take a
bird when it is about one pound to
a pound and a quarter. At that time
there are not so many feathers to
pick off, the bird is not so fat and
there is less setback after the OPP
Grafton.
Caponizing
You can get a bulletin and by
main force and awkwardness learn
how to do the operation, but l have
found that people learn the tech
nique much easier by seeing the
work done. So if you are interested
in learning, all you have to do is to
work up a demonstration. That is, if
you can find about a dozen of your
neighbors who are also interested,
you a ask your county agent to
schedule a school or demonstration.
In turn he will either do the in
structing himself or call upon the
poultry specialist. It's just that easy.
Now to get ready for such a dem
onstration, one should keep the birds
totally off feed for "a hours. And I
mean off feed. The birds must be
put in a wire or slat bottomed crate
off the floor so that they a not
possibly get at any feed. A good ar
rangement is to turn a shipping coop
upside down and set it on a couple
ing period, the birds should be sup
Piled with plenty of water. This
helps to flush out the intestinal tract.
After caponizing the birds should
be put on soft feed for about "a
to SO hours. Then they can go onto
a regular starting or growing mash,
depending upon their age.
Wind Puffs
There is one factor, occurring aft
err the operation, which may dis
courage many from going into ca
pons too extensively. That is the
need for puncturing wind puffs."
What makes some puff and others
not, is still a mystery. We feel quite
sure that the puff is caused by the
outer skin healing before the inner
one does. Further that an air sac
in the birds body has been pune
tured during the operation. Thus
every time the bird breathes the air
the two skins and can not escape
until you puncture the balloon.
Sometimes a bird may have to be
punctured only once. While at other
times, worst luck, you may have to
puncture the bird every day for Q
week.
Although we certainly prefer the
operation to the use of hormones,
did run onto a very interesting
practice the other day. Mr.. Roy Dur
gan, near Livingston, sells eggs Il
a hatchery. That means he has t.
keep male birds in his flock. Ate,
the Matching season, when the male
need to be removed from the flock
he finds he has a lot of poultry mea
on hand which is pretty much

German Paper Raps
Beauty Contests

MUNICH - (AP) - The influ-
ential "Wuerzberger Bistumblatt
of Wuerzburg, weekly periodical
for the Catholic diocese of Wuerz-
burg, has attacked Bavarian beau
ty contests.
The "Bistumblatt," with a cir
culation of $4,000, was bitterly
critical of the selection of a beau
ty queen, and printed one article
under the sab-heading Meat In
spection."
"A social mantal is draped over
the half-naked queens" said the
newspaper, commenting on a
beuaty contest. "This is publicity
for Bavaria's tourist traffic. In
plain words that means: over
there in Bavaria, in the mountains
or in Munich there are more such
beauties, which are to be had fol
every American.
The "Bistumblatt" declared thai

WAR CLAIMS: Long, Tough Job

fered by Americans interned by Ja-
panese in the Philippines, and by
military prisoners mistreated by Ja-
panese, German or other captors.
The commission can receive claims
of all kinds, however, by Americans
or other nationals. The commission
is to report to Congress by next
March with recommendations for pos
sible BROADER legislation.
In the beginning, at least, claims
will cost taxpayers little or nothing.
They will be settled from the sale of
enemy property seized in wartime
which is estimated to be worth at
least 300 million dollars.
Whether that will be enough to
cover costs of all damage claims de-
pends on future legislation.
The time limit for fling claims has
been extended to March l, 1851.
Substantial progress has been made
in settling a different type of war
claim. In 1946 Congress voted 400
million dollars to pay for property
losses suffered by Americans and Fill
pinos in the Philippines. The Philip
pine War Damage Commission set up
under that legislation has paid off
about 1,25O,0OO claims of this type.

Vows
Times & Customs

Times & Customs
A Worcester, Mass, clergyman has
changed a portion of the wedding
vows which reads $50 long as you
both shall live" to $50 long as you
both shall love-"
The Rev. Gordon B. McKeeman of
All Souls Universalist Church says
the original version is "antiquated."
He holds it does not conform to the
present cultural pattern of society.
"My belief is that marriage legally
is a civil ceremony and the basis Of
marriage is love-it has not always
been so-but on the basis of our
present culture it is" the clergyman
declares.
"If a minister says so long as you
both shall live he is binding a cou-
pie to take a vow that is not true ac-
cording to civil law"
The Rev. McKeeman says he sees
no reason to ask couples to take a
vow they may not keep.
The Universalist Doctrine, he ex-
plains, does not bind ministers to
any regulations on marriage but the
legal requirements.

TRADE: Cold Shoulder for U. S.

on Britain's gold and dollar reserves.
U. S. Treasury Secretary John w.
Snyder is to go to London soon TO
confer with Sir Stafford on Britain's
dwindling dollar reserves.
There was a storm of criticism
against the British-Argentine pact on
Capitol Hill where soon the new re-
quest for $3,568, 900 for the Sec
ond year of the Marshall Plan is to
be considered by the Senate.
Call It British SeIfishneSs'
Sen. Kenneth Wherry (R-Neb.) ac-
cused Britain of selfshly promoting
her own economic interests at the
expense of other European nations
and the U. S.
''This bilateral trade pact defeats
the very purpose of recovery and
free exchange of goods in the world,
said Wherry.
Paul Hoffman, chairman of the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administration, in
charge of administering the aid to
Europe, said he is opposed to bilateral
agreements. He added, however, that
Britain had no other means of OBJ
tanning meat except from Argentina.
