81 Cor|ey Speaks !
To Rotary Tuesday
Praises State Fair,
Progress Of Miss.
In Livestock, Poultry

The Honorable ST Corley, of
Jackson, State Commissioner OF
Agriculture, spoke to the Lexing-
ton Rotary Club on Tuesday. H.
l.. Nichols was program chairman
! Mr.. Corley urged everyone to
! attend the state fair in Jackson
this week, where he said there
are 500 head of the finest regis
tered cattle in the United States
a barn full of hogs, and a fine
lpoultry exhibit. There is not 9
vacant spot on the grounds, he
said. Bigger crowds r attend
ing the fair this year than ever
; before.
The Mississippi Legislature ap-
| propriated $250,000 last year for
the state fair, $125,0 900 to be used
to control floodwaters and $125, OOO
| for hog and cattle barns. The
! fair grounds, about II or Is acres,
; will be filled in as a flood control
measure. $17,500 premiums will
be paid on fair exhibits this year,
stated Mr. Corley.
Livestock Increasing
Mr.. Corley spoke with enthus-
iasm of the future that Mississippi
has in livestock. "The surface has
just been scratched" he said. The
livestock population is increasing
but not in proportion to the need.
Go into county and district fairs,
suggested Mr.. Corley, and COM
pare the quality of livestock now
and in the past. Now Westerners
come to Mississippi to get their
bulls.
Build pastures fires, and then
get your cows, Mr. Corley advised.
The average corn yield in Missis-
sippi is IS bushels this year as
compared with 24.65 last year. We
can grow pastures, he said. We
have the climate and soil and
packing plants are going to come
where the raw materials are.
Poultry Plonf Success
The poultry plant built by the
state legislature and leased to
and Co. has been very sue
cessful, reports Mr.. Corley. In
June $4,000 chickens weekly, all
Mississippi grown, were brought
the plant. Now 10000 Mis-
grown chickens enter the
plant each week, and 8 or 9 mil
ion are needed annually to sat
sly the state demand, Mr.. Corley

Millin with MI. w. B. Kenna. and

Mississippi Shows
Large Increase In
Blue Cross Enrolment
"a Percent Population
Protected In u. S. A.:
40 Million By'51

Mississippi Hospital and Medical
Service reports, among all Blue
Cross Plans, one of the highest
percentage increase in enroll
ment for the second quarter, show
ing a 12.11 per cent increase.
The addition of over one mil
lion (1,141, BOD Blue Cross mem
bers made the second quarter the
third largest second quarter in the
history of the plans. Plus the ma
tional enrolment gain for the first
quarter of 1850, 1857, 248, second
largest of all-time net growth for
a comparable period, assures en-
rollrhent of more than 10000, 900
persons by the end of 1850. En-
rollment at the end of the second
quarter represents "a per cent of
the population of the United
| States and Is per cent of the pop
ulation of the eight Canadian
provinces served by Blue Cross,
During the past ten years Blue
Cross has grown at a rate of more
than 10000 900 members a year.
Today it is still a grass root prem
omenon. But it has become one OF
the most remarkable develop
ments in American life.
To what does Blue Cross owe
its tremendous vitality? What has
made it crow so fast and so on
sistently? The fact that it Is the
creation of the voluntary hospital,
and that it has had the backing OF
the voluntary hospital, are two
All-important factors behind ITS
vitality and growth. Blue cross
has also been fortunate in secur-
ing the services of many out
standing people who have served
without pay of any kind. That has
been another very important Tag
tor.
However, for the ZEAL explana-
ton we must look to the funda-
+ mental factor, the dynamic factor
I It is this: The people need anc
: want security against the higf
cost of hospital and surgical care
They know only too well the an
= xieties and misery that can re
! suit from the economic hazard O
sickness and accident. Blue eros:
has been growing sc fast because
it has been meeting this need. Be
. hind Blue Cross is this problem
: i'm human want, in human desire
for security against an ever-pre'
sent hazard.

Communist Chino IS
Still Open TO Christians
Reports Missionary
by Sue Bmron

People in Shanghai are thinking
more seriously about Christianity
than they ever have before" says
Mrs. Sidney r. Anderson, Metho-
dist missionary to Communist-oc-
cupied China who has recently
returned with her husband for
their regular years furlough.
They're thinking and studying,
People who used to come to
church just when they felt like il
now come regularly every Sunday
We have is many converts as we
have ever had"
The Communists have occupied
Shanghai for two years now. They
do allow the churches to carry on
their work, says Mrs. Anderson.
In the Anderson's church it has
been carried on almost without
change.
MI. and Mrs. Anderson have
been in China for SO years, and
for the past 20 years they have
been with the large Moore Memoir
ial Church in Shanghai. This is
a beautiful Gothic church, the
largest in China, with a member
ship of about 1000. Mr.. Ander-
son is now associate pastor and
head OF social service work, and
Mrs. Anderson teaches English.
Bible and music in the school for
girls which is connected with the
church. This school is for girls
over l6 who did not have the op.
%portunitv to complete their regular
education.
The last time that Mr.. Anderson
returned to America was on the
Gripsholm in 1913, after havins
been in a concentration camp II
China during the war. Mrs. An
derson had come back to thi.
country in l941, before Pearl Har
Dor. He returned in 1945 on al
Armv ship, and she on a British
freighter. The freighter struck /;
mine just off Shanghai, and Mrs
Anderson arrived on a British
destroyer. They were the frs
missionaries to arrive in 3hang
hal from across the Pacific.
They fond that the Chinese
pastor of their church had gotter
back the church, which had beer
occupied by the japanese and usec
for storing ammunition. The pew.
had been taken fer lumber. AL.
though the church itself was little
damaged almost all the furnish.
ings were gone.
For the next 3 years, the mair
Job of the Andersons was that o.
rehabilitating the church, train
ing workers, and doing relief work
for the thousands of Chinese who
were pouring back into Shanghai
in need of food, clothing, shelter
almost everything.
About the time this was done
the Communists came in. For the
past two wears the Christians have
been adjusting to the new situa-
ton in China.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson are visit
ing here with Mrs. Anderson's
mother, Mrs. B. w. Lipscomb. and
her sister. Mrs. B. S. Beall. Jr
They will soon leave for New
York where they will visit their
son. At the end of this year, it is
their hope to return to Shanghai
and continue their work for Chris
tianity.

Hoover Plan Backers
Charge Foes Block
Post Office Reforms

The Citizens Committee for
the Hoover Report charged today
that foes of Government reorgani-
zation are erecting road block
against Post Office reforms.
The committee said measures
backed by President Truman to
take the Post Office out of politics
and to give it a modern financial
system have been delayed almost
a year.
In its publication, ''Reorganiza-
ton News" the committee said
the Hoover Commission recon-
mended the reforms last February
Last July, Mr.. Truman asked for
the same measures, the commit
tee said. Bills were introduced
embodying the recommendations.
Hearings Not Held.
Despite the support of the Ad-
ministration and of the citizens
committee, no hearings have been
held over the past six months, ~
the committee asserted.
On the subject of reorganization
of the Veterans Administration,
the committee said:
Some organizations are taking
the viewpoint that all of the
Hoover Commissions recommen-
dations for reforms of the VA are
wrong. Few veterans will agree
with statements that the VA is
the most Efficient of all large
Government agencies and that 1t
has had 20 years of successful
operation"
One Efficient Unit.
The committee advises veterans:
Judge for yourselves" 1t cited
numerous examples of what it said
was inefficency and added that
only one unit in the agency ap-
preached efficient operation, and
that organization had only TO of
the 100000 employees.
The committee said also that
civil service must be modernized
and that this change is a pre-
requisite to all other reforms, The

nurse for the Valley, gave innocu- latiOns to 1863 Valley residents. Miss Myren's work takes her to Eklutna, Jonesville, Knik, Chick aloon and Independence Mine, but she is headquartered in Pal mer at the Health Center here.
 In addition to support of the public health nursing program, the Valley Health Council is in terested in all phases of commun- ity health. The Council keeps a small lending library of medical books and magazines in the Health Center. In addition it's members hope soon to re-establish the medical loan closet, where crutches, a wheelchair or sick room supplies may be borrowed.
 Last years activities of the Health Council included the spon- sorship of a three-day school for food handlers, held here last Feb ruary More than 50 foodhandlers from 10 Valley businesses attend ed the school. Out of that school arose requests for the location of a full-time sanitarian in the Val ley. However funds are not avail able for that position at this time.
 Cleanup week in Palmer, held last May, was co-sponsored by the Health Council and the Pal mer Kiwanis Club. Held just be- fore Colony Day, the cleanup campaign did succeed in polish ing Palmer's face a bit before the holiday influx of visitors.
 The Health Council also was in- strumental in bringing the Rail belt unit to Palmer to give fluor- inc treatment and dental care to 126 wards of the territory in the Valley.
 The Council sponsored the presentation of two lectures dur ing the past year. Dr. Vernon Gates spoke to the organization on Cancer and Dr. C. C. Bailey lec- tured on the RH factor.
 A petition asking for help in the alleged pollution of a Valley stream was referred to the proper Investigating source and request for inspection of public lavatories in Palmer was referred to the sanitarian of the territorial de- partment of health.
 This years Health Council of- ficers were listed by MT. Pitt as
Valley frontiersman., 1950-09-23

The principal function of the Matanuska Valley Health Council is to unite members of all other organizations of the Valley in sup port of the public health nursing program here, Irwin Pitt, pub licity chairman of the current Community Chest drive, ex- plained today. This year there are p local organizations repre- sented on the Health Council.
 Funds which the Health Coun- cil receives from the Community Chest are applied toward the $500 share of the nurses salary, which the community must bear, and $500 annual rent for the quarters of the Health Center. It is the Councils hope that in the future it can be increased to include the operating expense of the nurses car, but to date this has been financially impossible.
 Local organizations provide telephone service and laundry service without cost. Medical needs, SerumS, X-rayS, office fur niture and equipment are sup piled by the Territorial Depart ment of Health.
 The public health program, as carried out through the public health nurse, is preventive rather than curative, Mr. Pitt explained. The nurses work includes giving immunizations against whooping cough, diphtheria, smallpox, tet- anus and typhoid; conducting school physical examinations; making prenatal visits to homes and conducting classes for expect ant mothers; giving home demon strations in the care of babies; holding we'll baby conferences; and carrying out the territorial department of health program for control of tuberculosis, care of crippled children and prevention of epidemics.
