HORSES
We all know many horse
lovers. Of course, a lot of 'em
disagree when it comes to
trotters and PAGERS. It is in
teresting to note that there
isn't much difference insofar
as speed is concerned. Grey
hound holds the record for
trotters at l min. 55 Il seconds
which is only II second off
that of Billy Directs pacing
record of l min. 55 seconds

set in 1888. The record for the

Am always fascinated by

MORE PEOPLE
There are many things
which seem almost impos-

person wouldn't believe. Some
years ago I knew a married
couple who were as fine as
you could want. However, the

fact that mama" and huS-

say Gertrude, would your
mother care for some more po-
tatoes?" Have never got over
this odd state of affairs.

gram chairman, Anne Joe Fos-
ter, extends a special invitation to
Madison County Youth. Miss Rid
die and Mr. Taylor were selected
last year by student faculty
committee at OSU to participate
in the International Farm Youth
Exchange program. This COM
nittee considered their oLtstand-
ing achievements at school, col
lege, and community activities as
well as their interests in foreign
affairs, as a basis in their selec-
ton.
Miss Riddle left the United
States in early June, spent the
summer living on farms in Den
mark and returned to the country
in November. For several months,

lating experiences to youth and

Taylor left the United states
in early June. spent the summer
living on farms and farm schools
in Greece and returned to this
country in November. For sew
eral months, he will travel about
the state relating his experiences
to youth and adult groups.
The trip was made possible
through voluntary contributions
of groups and individuals to the
International Farm Youth Ex-
change fund. The funds also made
possible trips to America for ap-
proximately twice as many Europ-
can farm youths. There were so
American delegates in the 1850
program from 26 states.
No government funds were ex-
pended in furthering the IFYE
program, and the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the land grant colleges and
universities in the states concern
ed provided the administrative
sponsorship and leadership for the
program.
The project is to further inter-
national understanding by provid-
ing opportunities for American
farm youth to see and experience
the life and culture of rural people
in foreign countries, and for the
foreign youth to learn, similarly,
about America.
The IFYE program is to be con-
tinued in 1851, and groups and
individuals interested in contribut-
ing to its support may send their
donations - the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. the Ohio State
University, Columbus 10, Ohio.

gamble is the blind spot in
human nature since it is made
without research to the end
that it have the possibilities
to warrant the risk. If a man
wanted to buy q business he
wouldn't pick out eight or
ten about which he knew
nothing and lay his fortune on
any one of them. He would

The market is controlled by supply and demand and when the demand gets out of proportion to the supply. the seller is in the po- sition of an absolute monarch. That's when sometimes the mon- arch puts his manners and his morals away for inc duration. Of course. when the supply is bigger than the demand. the customer can turn arrogant - and frequently does.
 Our experiences in World War II certainly showed most of us that patronizing black markets and hoarding was wasteful and extravagant. It certainly left those of us who bought more than we were entitled to feeling cheap and shoddy. Many women who made an expensive deal with her butch CT when the squeeze was on, changed to a new one-and had nothing but hard feelings for him after the emergency was over. Rude salespeople may have felt like little Neros for brief hour but their customers remember ed after they wished all could be forgiven. .ra.s
 It seems to me that now is the time to think through a situation which may be just ahead of us. Let's resolve for 1851 to put aside an impulse to hoard or patronize a blackmarket, if we're custom CTS. And, if we're sellers of goods, to be honorable, fair-and man. nerly.
 Life will be pleasanter and easier for all of us.

Will Place Plastic Postcards In Gulf Stream For Study

Several thousand postcar d each sealed in plastic container, will be dropped into the Gulf of Mexico by United States naval air craft during 1851 to trace complex Gulf currents as well as the dis tribution and. migrations of com mercial fishery stocks, including shrimp, the United States Depart ment of the Interior announced recently.
 The project is sponsored by the Fish and Wildlife Service of the department, with the cooperation of the Gulf States Marine Fisher ies Commission, the Texas Game Fish and Oyster Commission, the department of Oceanography of Texas A. & M. College, and the Navy Departments Office of Ma val Research.
 The postcards are expected to drift about in the Gulf currents, and to be cast up eventually on beaches, where many of them will be found and returned to the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commis- sion at New Orleans, La. Then they will be routed to scientists who will deduce from the returns the paths which the cards must have followed in the sea.
