JOURNALISM
A Bishop was making some
''off the record" remarks at
press conference. One young
reporter said it all in his
summation of the story. Said
the reporter "the Bishop
also made some remarks
which cannot be published!"
FIELDS
w. c. Fields was a master
of the improbable and will al
ways be remembered for his
remark about his Uncle Ter
williger "Ah, yas." said
Fields, The poor old man
was run down and killed by
a hit-and-gallop-away driver
in Bellefontaine, Ohio!"
BANKS
Heard one local citizen be-
moaning the fact that when
he needed money his credit
wasn't any good and, now
that he has money, the bank
wants to loan him some. This
is the same as having new

DUTY
Every so often one Of us
is called upon to serve on
jury. Now, it has been brought
to our attention that lot
of people look upon jury duty
as a bore and a burden. Not
so. Each of us should make
every effort to serve when
the time comes. We suspect
that there are more imagin-
ary sprains, bruises and gen.
eral i'll health at jury time
than there would be If we
had an epidemic. 100000,
why don't you just give in
and serve. Leastways you
won't have to serve for a long
time afterward.
Startling facts come to
light when we asked the
school authorities to give US
the count of school kids this
year. Turns out that 20rc OF
the population of Madison
county will attend school this
year. We believe this is
record OF some kind and we
also believe that it is the
duty of every parent and busi-
neSsman to make an effort
to employ these kids when
they finish. What better rea-

this area. Without it, what

Cafeteria Feeds
SIS First Day

Y The London school cafeteria
opened for. its. second school year
Thursday with more than 375
pupils remaining for lunch. Last
year more than 57,825 meals were
served in the cafeteria. OF this
amount, all but 1910 were served
type A meals with milk.
The success of tht cafeteria,
from financial standpoint as
well as nutritional value, was
brought about largely through
the personnel of the cafeteria staff
The financial aid granted from
the funds of the Federal School
Lunch Program which amounted
to S4,001.55 played a large part
in permitting the low cost of $25
per school lunch.

a. Dry cans completely. Keep
them in a dry place even though
they may be stored for only a
few hours.
5. Prevent scratching the in
sides with stirring rods. 1t is Wit

after stirring.
6. Do not allow sour contents
to remain in cans for long periods
z. Keep cans moving. Avoid
long periods of storage and idle
ness.
Observe of these commonsens2
rules will add greatly to the life

protein pellets on top of the re-
gular mash at noon to boost pro-
duction. He suggests using 26
percent pellets and feeding what
the birds will consume in a half
hour This usually will be from 3
to 5 pounds per 100 birds.
Other production aids outlined
by Meyer include continued use
of morning and evening or all
night lights and opening the win
dows to allow the sun to dry up
the litter.
For poultrymen who wish to cut
feed costs, he suggests they pur-
chase good laying mash concen-
trates and have their own ground
grains mixed in to make a high
quality laying mash. AS much AS
one-third the feed bill can be
saved in comparison to purchasing
a 20 percent laying mash with the
grains already mixed.

Five Simple Steps
Keep Milk Clean

Profitable milk production can
be divided into two general steps
producing clean milk and keeping
it clean after production. Most
farmers keep their cows clean and
their barns free of excessive dirt.
Too often, however, such efforts
are wasted by letting sediment get
into the milk after it is taken
from the cows.
One prominent dairy specialist
estimates that about IS per cent
of the sediment in milk could he
eliminated if dairy farmers fol-
lowed these five simple steps:
l. Keep milk cans clean by
washing carefully. Be sure cans
are washed properly at the plants
before they arrive at the farm.
A careful dairyman will ge over
these cans with hot water, wet
ting agent and a brush. Never use
cold water for rinsing because
most of the time it contains sedi-
| ment.
2. AS soon as a can is filled with
milk, cover it. Be sure covers are
on tightly.
3. Keep dirt out of cans by plac-
ing a clean piece of paper un-
der the lid A 15-inch square
piece of parchment will do the
trick.
4. Cool cans in cold water,
which will cool milk about "a
times as fast as air. Place the
cans in the cooler as soon as they
are full. Weight them to prevent
! floating.
5. Check milk cans regularly
for dents and scratches. If the can
is very old or battered, discard
it for new can. The investment
will soon pay dividends because
less milk will be down-graded or
rejected at market.

Protein Pellets
Boost Egg Yield

Heavy fall egg production and
feed economies are blamed for
drops in egg production reported
in many sections of the state.
d. d. Meyer, extension special
ist in poultry at Ohio State Uni
versity, says many flock owners
have tried to keep profits up dur
ing a period of low egg prices by
cutting the cost of feed.
Using low quality feeds and in
sufficient protein and vitamins
can certainly contribute to a
slump in egg production" he ex-
He recommends feeding high
plains.

nightclubs, Major said. These
places handling choice beef must
place a higher price on ribs and
loins absorb the higher price per
pound of choice meat. AS a result,
many buy good grades instead.
Because of the limited demand
for choice meats, prices drop
sharply when an unusually large
supply of choice cattle come to
market, the buyer pointed out.
Choice may even sell lower than
good beef in some instances.
We cannot expect stronger de-
mand for choice cattle in the next
few years, Major stated. Consun'-

Pheasant Distribution By IS Per Cent

The distribution of 3-week old
pheasant chicks to conservation
clubs and individuals by the Di-
vision of Wildlife for rearing and
localized release is expected to
be cut about 65 per cent this year.
Dr. Z. d. Martin, chief OF the
Divisions game management and
propagation section, said today
that the cut is being made te-
cause of the outstanding success
of the Wildlife Habitat Devel-
opment program started in 1947
to maintain pheasant populations
through natural reproduction ir
the field. The Divisions habitat
program, which has gained nation
wide recognition, provides for
"a minimum of artificial propag-
alton and stocking necessary to
provide such reproductive brood

Seven Rules For
Proper Care Of
The Milk Cans

Your milk cans are important
No matter what kind of milk you
produce, or how sanitary all your
other equipment is, if your milk
cans have rust in them the milk
may be down graded or even re-
jected at the milk station. Take
care of this valuable equipment
by following these seven simple
steps:
/. Carry cans to desired locat-
ion; do not drop, throw or roll
them.
2. Leave covers off empty cans
when not in use.
3. Wash milk cans thoroughly.
Use proper washing solutions of
right strength. Rinse well after
washing.

last week-they were Jane Eyre

some pair they were, too. All the
supporting cast were excellent in
their parts. The action of the play
was held to the Victorian pace
which the story requires too
slow for appreciation by most of
those used to the rapid action of
television and the movies.
The play was said by many to
be the best yet produced by the
local players. Those who attended
will enjoy these comments written
by Mrs. Guy E. Kagey, a former
resident of Olney, now living in
Fayetteville, N. c.:
"Was noticing the story about
the Rockville Theatre, giving "Jane
Eyre" and thought maybe you'd
be interested in a little sideline on
the subject of Jane Eyre. This
past summer my sisters son Sam,
who is a Senior at West Point this
year, was in England. On the
train one day he began talking to
his seatmate and she introduced
herself as DR.. Eyre. This made
Sam sit up, and he told her his
mother had been a Miss Aver be-
fore marrying Mr.. Lutterloh. Of
course that started things and DR..
Eyre said she had just published a
little booklet on the Eyre history
called Long Ago Fin Peakland."

mother. This DR.. Eyre seems to

the Derbyshire Archaeology So
ciety. The story begins back in days
of William the Conqueror las all
our stories begin) and tells some
thing of the "Domes (Doom's) Day
Survey of 1885," in which George
Eyre figures. She speaks of one of
the Eyres, Robert who built cas-
ties for his seven sons, ETC., but
what wanted to tell was her ref
erence to Jane Eyre. Maybe folks
think Jane Eyre was a fictitious
person, but she lived at Moorseats
where ghosts walk the garden be-
meath the ancient Yew trees. Moor
seats has become immortalized and
each year pilgrimage is made to
this castle. To quote again: "The
father of the real Jane Eyre was
Thomas Eyre and her brother was
Robert Eyre of Shatton Hall, who
died in 1916"
Naturally we found this little
booklet very interesting, although
we have great part of the story
already in hand. 1t was nice for
Sam to meet this lady and he was
quite proud of his contact.
