farmers about Soil Conserva
ton Districts and answered
here by the Agricultural EX-
tension Service.
+ 1..What E do farmers in other
areas. think Of their soil conser-
vation district? Farmers with
complete farm plans are agreed
that a district has been beneficial
10 them. There are dissenters, of
course, in every program. Neigh
bor Bob Ronsh at Lindsey says
the. program has made hlm money
while improving the farm at the
same time. Dwight Wise who
lives on Rt. 500 in Sandusky Co.
is high in his praise of the bene-
fits. These stories could be re-
peated for countless others.
2. What is the farm plan? 1t
is drawn up by the farm planner
and farmer together 1t points
the way for farm changes and
progress and can be modified as
conditions demand. Included III
the plan are results of soil tests
and Identification of all soils on
the farm. Also a scale blueprint
of tile lines and proposed future
drainage. A crop rotation as well
as livestock program are Included
5. Is it necessary to follow the
farm plan? No, a farmer may
quit the program or change the
plan anytime he desires. Ii is
recommended that a farmer make
changes in the plan to keep uE
with the times.
4. Who operates the district!
Once the district is voted in by
the landowners another election
is held to elect board OF five
supervisors. They decide what
work is necessary, arrange for
technical service, accept gifts or
contributions to further the work
and what, how and when work
will be done.
s. How soon may applications
be submitted for assistance? Not
before the board of supervisors
are elected and organized, but
anytime after they are officially
ready to do business.

LIFE
at Its Best

We are always glad when read
ers of this little weekly column
take the trouble to write us, in
care of this newspaper, and share
with us stories and experiences
that have helped them in a prac-
tical way in meeting the prob
lens of daily living.
One reader said recently, "We
often feel that we ourselves are
powerless to do anything that will
really make for good in the world.
After all, the world is SO large
and its problems so complicated,
that it is easy to get the feeling
that our little individual lives
count for nothing. But we should
not feel that way about it. Even
If we can't do the big things.
there are many things that any
one of us can do to make this
old world a better place in which
to live.
"Did you ever stop to think
how important it is to set a good
example before others in the way
in which one liyes from day to
day? Who can estimate the in,
fiuence of the example of a par
ent or teacher, as over against
anything that he may say or ad
wise! And who can tell to what
extent any of us, without knowing
it, may influence the lives Of
others?"
Yes, good reader, you are right.
In a thousand unrealized ways
even the humblest of us may In
fiuence the lives of those with
whom he comes in contact in the
daily round. There is not a one
of us who does not influence the
lives of others for better or for
worse.
Joseph Fort Newton once told
of group of young men in Lon
don, long ago, who were all set
for gay" party, an evening OF
drinking and gambling. Before
the party had really gotten under!
way, one of the group noticed
light in a window across the
street, and as he, glanced that
way from time to time, he saw
between the curtains a hand
slowly writing. 1t was Sir Walter
Scott, old and ill, writing against
death to pay his debts and save
his good name after financial dis
aster. When the young, man call
ed the attention Of his fellows tl
the old man at the window, one
| of them made a wise-crack, but
they were all noticeably disturbed
by the contrast between what he
was doing and their own program
for the evening. Finally they
even reached the point where
they gave up their own party
completely. They simply couldn't
make a go of it with that hant
writing there in the night.
Sir Walter Scott never knew
how much his noble example in
spired those young men, an6
thousands who have lived since
to make life count for something
really worthwhile.

YOUR CHILD TODAY
BEWARE OF
LITTLE PITCHERS
BY DAVID TAYLOR MARKE
AP NeWsfeatures Writer

Little pitchers have big ears"
Hon often have we had to ad-
monish adults to be careful about
what they say in front of children.
They hear us converse and then,
when we least expect 1t, out they
come with something that chagrins
us and possibly makes trouble. 1t
is quite unintentiOnal on their
part; it is natural for children to
quote their parents. All the more
reason for being careful in our
casual remarks, as we'll as in our
conversations.
Some parents, points out the Ma
tional kindergarten Association,
finding it difficult for the adults to
avoid conversing on topics insult
able for children's ears, have found
it a very good plan, when the fam
lily is together at the dining table,
/ to play quiet thinking games as
the meal is being eaten.
It so often happens that Mother
or Auntie will relate the days gos-
sip to Father, forgetting that the
children are watching facial ex-
/ pressions, attitudes, and tones OF
voice, in addition to remembering
what is being said.
We all believe in teaching ouI
children to be good listeners, FOL
that is one form of education
which is very valuable, but We
must keep in mind the importance
of maintaining our conversations
on. a high level.
Here are some of the things tina
can happen when children listen IL
on their parents talk.
Little Myrtle was not quite tiv,
years old. She was riding in

Holiday Stain Removed
AP Nevsfeatures

Turkey dinners and all the fixin's
may have an unpleasant aftermath
of hard-to-remove stains on table
cloths and clothing. Here are some
tips from the American Viscose
Corporation for removing common
spots and stains:
Cranberry Sauce: It's fine with
turkey, but not so nice on your
new rayon dress! If the fabric is
washable, rinse thoroughly with
warm water. If the stain persists,
use a mild chlorine solution on
white fabric then rinse with weak
vinegar and water. For nOn-wash-
able rayons, sponge with luke
warm water, diluting the stain as
fast as possible. Wipe away excess
moisture to avoid a ring.
Gravy: Here's another meal-tlme
spot hazard. Launder washable
rayons in warm sOapy water to
remove gravy stains. For non
washable rayons, dust with absor-
bent powder. After it absOrbs the
grease, brush of and sponge with
cleaning fluid.
Candle Waxs If a festive holiday
candle spatters your favOrite rayon
scrape away as much wax as pOss
ible. Place the stain between two
blotters and press with a warn
iron, changing blotters as the.

FAMILY fun is a special kind Of
4 fun and a lot Of it springs up
at the table. When we skip break
fast or let each member Just
grab what he can, we're cutting
short the family fun.
A professor Of family life edu-
cation of a well-known university
notes: To-day, most Of the fam
lies in our country live in cities
and of necessity seldom come to-
gether except at mealtime." She
stresses that we use these meal
time gatherings to foster "clOser
human relations"
Helps Children
That children greatly benefit
from family meals is now a mat
ter of scientific proof. In a special
study, school children reported
the number of meals at which all
members of the family were pre-
sent. Also, these same children
were given personality tests. A
definite relationship was found
between the number of times the
child ate with his family and his
personality score.
Family breakfasts are a good
idea, as we all need this meal and
suffer if we miss it. AS govern
rnent nutritionists point out: "The
forgotten or hasty breakfast and
the skimpy lunch may be respon-
