O'EWART AND FAGG
ADDRESS ROTAR|ANS

Two guest speakers-Merle l..
Fagg, Billings postmaster, and
Congressman Wesley A. D'Ewart
provided the program at the
Tuesday meeting of the Laurel
Rotary club. Fagg told of the
Crusade for Freedom, D'Ewart
discussed the last session of con-
gress.
1t is now popular to talk about
communism, Fagg said, but little
is done about it. eve have allow
ed the spread of communism in
European and Asiatic countries
because progress in those countries
has consisted merely of pouring
our wealth into them without Civ
ing them any of u ideals. Com
munism has advanced in those
areas as the result of it's care
fully worked out program of SELL
ing the party ideals, but de-
mocracy has not put forth a
strong sales appeal. Working out
of the Nazi notebook, the powers
in Moscow have told bigger lies
more often, while we have not
countered with a powerful pre-
sentation of the truth"
A part Of the Crusade for Free
dom, according to Fagg, is the
dramatic presentation of the truth
over Radio Free Europe. During
the current drive for supporters
to the crusade it is hoped that
enough funds will be raised by
contributions to allow Radio Free
Europe to expand into a network
of five to eight stations. With
such increased facilities it would
be possible to counter Russian
propaganda.
During Fagg's address, a mem
bership scroll was passed around
the room and the signatures of
those in attendance were affixed.
Other such scrolls will be circulat-
&c in Laurel and the rest of the
country to receive the signatures
of those who wish to take a stand
for freedom. The scrolls will be
collected and placed in a shrine
to be constructed in Berlin. Fol-
the meeting, Rotarians
made contributions to the crusade
fund.
Referring to Fagg's address,
D'Ewart cited the fact that per-
sons who testified against Harry
Bridges have lost their employ
ment, and thus demonstrated the
power and threat of the commun-
list party in this country. The
congressman came out in support
the bill to control communist
activities that was recently passed
over the presidents veto.

SION of congress, and the effect of

OF GUN ACCIDENT
Fourteen Year-Old MOrtally
Injured By Accidental
Discharge Of Weapon

Funeral services for Charlie.
Thomas Mathis, 14-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas JJ. Mathis
were held at the Church of the
Nazarene at 2 p. m. today, Wednes-
day. The boy died at 10 p. m
Saturday in a Billings hospital, fol
lowing an accident in which he
sustained a gunshot wound in the
head.
In an endeavor to reconstruct
the accident, the father said the
boy had been shooting domestic
rabbits running loose in a corral
at the family home north of Lau-
rel, the rabbits to be used for the
Sunday dinner. After taking one
rabbit to the house he was sent
back to get another, and it is
thought that he accidently dis
charged the loaded gun by ground
ing it and striking the trigger
with his foot. The bullet struck
him under his right eye.
A brother, Larry, 10 had finish
ed milking in a nearby barn and
was on his way to the house when
he heard the shot, looked up and
saw Charles fall.
The time of the accident is plac-
ed at about 7 p. m. The boy was
taken to Billings in an ambulance
by the Laurel Funeral Home.
Survivors include the parents, a
sister Patricia, and three brothers,

|NFERS LAUREL NOT
BUILT BY SANTA

A picture of Laurel's main
street, taken in 1900, provided the
point of departure for an address
by Tinseth on the subject of sales
man ship when he was guest
speaker at the meeting of the
Laurel Kiwanis club last Wednes-
day. His talk was divided into
two major portions: sales prin-
ciples and selling America.
Citing the growth of Laurel
during the past so years, and
graphically contrasting the little
community of the year 1900 with
the present busy town of nearly
5000 population, Tinseth empha-
sized the fact that Laurel's growth
was the result of work and initia-
tive. In effect, he said that Lau-
rel had enjoyed so years of pro
gress and growth because men
who were willing to work hard
had come here and sold their SER
vices in the face of keen COMPETE
ton. He then stressed the point.
that the development that had
taken place did not result from a
governments gift. of something
for nothing" Throughout his ad-
dress, Tinseth emphatically press
ed the point that the current
trend toward a dominating social
istic government was destroying
the American way of life. "Some-
thing for nothing comes at the
of freedom" he said. "Get
out and sell America and the
American way of life," he urged.
When speaking of the art of
Tinseth divided the sub
ject into four units: confidence,
knowledge, technique, and closing
the deal. 1t is necessary, he said,
to have confidence in yourself, and
your customer to have con-
fidence in you, if any business is
to take place. A customer will
only the services of those
n whom he has confidence. By
knowledge, he meant knowledge Of
business; the salesman must
nave a knowledge of all aspects
IF his line, if he is to intelligently
resent it to his prospects. Tech
according to him, is the
process of applying knowledge to
he sales problem. Discussing the
asst point, closing the deal, Tin
eth said that he had seen many
rood demonstrators who were
,oor statesmen because they did
'ot attempt to make the actual
ale; at a loss to understand this,
le said he thought the probable
ause was a lack of courage.
Before concluding his address,,
he speaker reiterated his stand
egarding current socialist trends
S al attack on the principles of
initiative and hard work that have
uilt this country.
Immediately following dinner,
nd before the guest speaker had
aken the floor, Pres. Lee Ham
1T announced the appointment of
committee to handle the coming
lection of club officers. Members
f the committee, which will re-
ort to the club Oct. ID, are J..
Y. Baldwin, DR.. w. A. Mccormick.

ALLOTMENT, PRICE
SUPPORT FOR 81
WHEAT RELEASED
Marketing Quotas Not To Be
Applied; US. Harvested II
Million Acres For 1850

An outline of acreage allotment
and price supports for the 1876
wheat crop has been released b!
the production and marketing ad
ministration of the U. S. depart.
ment of agriculture in a folder en-.
titled 1851 Wheat Program" Ac-
cording to the folder, acreage al
lotments and price supports are in
effect for the 1851 crop, but mark
keting quotas will not be applied in
the 1852 merchandising year,
The PIMA states that the ma
tional wheat-acreage allotment for
1850 was about 70 million acres,
and that about 72 million were
planted for harvest. The carry
over of wheat on July 1 this year
is thought to have been approx
mately $50 million bushels which,
with the 1850 crop, is expected to
more than meet what the govern
ment terms domestic and export
requirements.
The national wheat-acreage al
lotment is divided among states
and counties on the basis of them
wheat-acreage history during the
past 10 years, with adjustments
for trends and abnormal weather
conditions. The specific allotment
to each farm is determined by the
county PIMA committee in accord
with the farms tillable acres, crop
rotation practices, type of soil, and
other pertinent factors. If no
wheat was seeded on the farm in
the past three years, the owner
may apply to the local committee
for an allotment, but not more
than 3 per cent of the county al
lotment may be used for all such
farms.
A wheat acreage allotment will
be established for farms where
five or more acres of wheat were
grown for harvest as grain in one
or more of the past three years. If
the seeded acreage is normally less
than five acres, an allotment will
be established when requested by
the owner or operator before the
closing date. An allotment will be
also available, under certain con-
ditions, for farms where wheat will
be raised for harvest as grain in
1851, ven though none was plant
ed during the past three years.
The mandatory level of price
support to growers who do not
seed wheat for harvest in excess
of the farm acreage allotment for
1851 will be between 80 and 80 per
cent of the July 1, 1851, parity
price. The exact support will de-
pend upon the relationship of the
total supply to the normal supply.
Such price support will be avail
able to any cooperator who is
otherwise eligible under the price
support program for the 1851
wheat crop.
Information about acreage allot-
ments, loans, purchase agreements,
storage facility loans, or other
phases of the farm program is
available at the county production t
and marketing administration of |

Farm Market News
Reported By Ohio
Radio Stations

Approximately two-thirds of
Ohio radio stations report farm
market news and spend about 6.5
minutes a day doing it, accord
ing to study being made by
Francis B. Mccormick of the de-
oartment of agricultural econo-
mics and rural sociology of the
Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton.
Leading the types of commodi-
ties reported is livestock. AL
though this type is reported by
more stations, other commodities,
in the order most reported by
radio stations include grain, poul-
try and eggs, dairy products
fruits and vegetables. Less than
one-half of these stations report
grain market news, while more
than ten percent broadcast fruit
and vegetable market informa-
ton.
Mccormick reports that many
farm programs include these
farm market news. From the
standpoint of the radio stations
the noon period-12:00 until loo
lis the most popular time for
reporting this news. One-third of
all farm market news casts oc-
cur during this period. Another
popular time for news reports is
from 500 to TOO in the morning
when one-fourth of the market
news is handled.
In the near future a sample of
Ohio farmers will be contacted
to get their ideas and opinions
concerning the reporting of the
farm market news. McCormick
is interested in seeking opinions
pertaining to the various media
of reporting farm market infor-
nation including radio, news
papers, government reports, tele-
phone, bulletin boards in grain
elevators, and others.

Social Security
important To All

Social security means more
than something you get when
you retire. 1t also means some
thing your family can receive
in case of your death or retire
ment.
The GAINESVILLE field office of
the social security administration
pointed this out quite forcibly
with the information that less
than half of those receiving
monthly checks in Noble county
were retired workers. About one
out of three of those retired
workers has a wife receiving
benefits.
There is a tendency to con-
slider only the retirement aspects
of the Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance program. However,
insured workers do have an in
surance policy that will pay ben
efits to their family in case of
their death. More than one
fourth of the monthly checks in
Noble county are for children
under 18 of a retired or de-
ceased worker. Monthly pay
ments are also made to the wild
ow of an insured worker if she
is IS, or at any age if she is car
ing for his young children. Par
ents of a deceased worker can
receive monthly payments at
age IS if they were chiefly de-
pendent upon the worker-pro-
vided the worker left no widow
or young children. If there is no
one entitled to monthly pay
ments, then lump-sum payment
can be made.
Survivors payments like re-
tirement payments are made
from the insurance. trust fund
from the worker and his en-
ployer. Payments are not made
automatically from the trust
fund, a claim must be filed be-
fore any payments can be made.
Be sure to advise your family to
contact their social security Of
flee promptly if anything should
happen to you.

be operating by spring of 1852.
Cost of the four unit plant is
estimated at $66 million. Pres

generating units as the power
demand develops. This would
bring the plants capacity up to
100000 kilowatts and make it
