I'm GETTING OUT of this"
might well be the words of an Ameri-
can if he were farming in Austria
today. But to the Austrian farmer
everything is o. K. Sure, he has his
gripes, but don't we all, even if we
are better off than we have ever
been before.
Hay is cut by a horse drawn
mower, but on the blacksmith, cor
ner that is hard to get into, under the
fence, on ditch bank or any place
there is grass that cannot be cut
with horses, hand scythes are used,
and everything is made into hay. A
short time after it is cut someone
must stir it up with a pitchfork so
that it will dry better.
A one-horse rake about 5 feet long
will rake the middle of the field and
the rest will be raked by hand with
a homemade wooden rake. IF there
is heavy dew it will be spread out
again the next morning to dry and
be re-raked all by hand this time.
The hay is loaded onto wagons by
hand and two ladit will follow with
rakes to pick up what falls off and
what could not be picked up with
pitchfork. There will probably
be a couple of ladies on the wagon
loading it.

when said couple men with a
tractor and hydraulic stacker could
put up more hay than his Is men.
That is not complete, however. I
must add that under the fence or
that hard to get at place is not har-
vested. 1t seems more important to
save everything and get the most
possible from the land rather than
to hurry and finish job. Austria at
best produced only rs percent of her

Few Cars

Only the very rich have cars and
it would be little one with about
80 horse power. Any American car
is described by the common express
sion "Eine Crosse Amerikanische
Auto" Driving is problem on the
narrow and winding roads. You are
not so worried. about meeting an
other car because there are so few,
put the many pedestrians and BIZ
cycles are the real danger. Since
there are so few cars people all walk
in the middle of the road and are not
cautious. In towns there are a few
more, but the sidewalks are usually
narrow and people still cross in the
middle of the block and even walk
in the street.

1t is common TO have soup twice
a day with the meal. 1t may be
vegetable soup or a soup thickened

You cannot just decide you would
like to farm and then go buy farm.
To be farmer you must either be
the oldest son of farmer or marry
the oldest daughter of farmer who
has no sons. 1t is very seldom that
a farm is sold.

Dewey ToRap
SOcialized
Medicine

L ALBANY. N. Y. Jan. 2.-It is
disclosed that Thomas E. Dewey
will deliver a heavy attack on so
cialized medicine and the. Tru-
man administration on Wednes-
day. The 9ia5t will come in Gov
ernor Dewey's annual message to
the New York State Legislature.
Dewey will criticize what he
Icalls the Federal governments
Eplan for Matchmaking medical
care and taking over the whole
field of health on a completely
socialized basis, as in Britain.
In New York State. Dewey
Twill say, the highest health and
welfare standards in the world
have been achieved, within the
enterprise system and without
having the government run the
lives of. its people.
He will add that New York
proposes to continue developing
its program along these lines.
The Governor will tell a joint
opening session of the Legisla-
ture that New York can continue
its far higher standards and
avoid what he will describe as
the degradation and humiliation
of government operated, social
igtic system.
He vii tell the State lawmak-
ers that New York has the most
comprehensive, high-standard
medical care program in the
world for the needy. In addition,
he will say, there is no faint of
socialism to the state program,
despite the fact that no person
in New York need go without
medical care because he lacks
the money to pay for it.
Dewey has been strong oppo-
nent of the proposed compulsory
health insurance plan sponsored
by Federal Security Administra-
tor Oscar Ewing.
When he campaigned last Fall
for the election of John Foster
Dulles to the U. S. Senate, Dewey
consistently attacked the plan
and called it socialized medicine.
Dulles, who had been appoint
ed to the Senate, also attacked
socialized medicine vigorously in
his losing campaign against For
mer Democratic Governor Herb
ert H. Lehman.

LITTLE ROCK. Jan. Pr.
There's a big manhunt on in
Arkansas near the city of Little
Rock, where three or four escap-
ed prisoners from the state pri-

ing out.
A town marshal was shot last
night and police officers have had
two brushes with men driving a
stolen car over 80 miles an hour
within 25 miles of Little Rock. \
5 At road block near Lonokrs,

Little Rock at terrific speed. Two
state policemen picked up the
chase when the car whipped past
them at a speed estimated be-
tween 80 and 100 miles an hour.
The car missed a curve and
plunged into a clump of bushes,
narrowly missing a carload Sof 4
policemen from North Little

One of the men tied up by the
three men near England told pos
