I've known several DilnQ people
but wish your friend could have
known my grandmother most Of
all. She died at the age of "a,
but for the last is years Of her
life she was blind. Her mind and
fingers were constantly busy.
Never liking radio before she took
to it with a will. OF course, she
followed serials but she also lis
tened to every educational pro-
gram she could find. Althoufih she
was surrounded by professional
people she often put US all to
shame with her amazing fund Of
information cleaned from listen
ling. She would listed to home
making programs and some Of our
choicest recipes are those she re-
|membered for us until we came
home from work. So sharp was
her memory that we never ques-
toned it when we jotted down
the recipes. But mostly she sewed.
We would thread an endless num-
Der Of needles and stick them in

to keep it from snarling. She
lpieced well over 80 quilt tops.
Each was different in design. al
though made up Of squares of
various sizes. She used white with

1.-THE colored blocks. If she could
persuade one Of the younger gen.
Ieration to take enough care to
cut the blocks perfectly land she
was quite a crank about this) she
could go ahead and piece the
whole quilt without help. She
made rather small stitches and
turned out neat work. She also
kept the family and all the folks
she knew supplied with tea towels,
aprons, lunch cloths. laundry
bags. shoulder covers for hangers,
and of course, holders. 1t often
took a bit of doing to keep her
supplied with material. so fast did
she work. We sought out inter-
Iesting fabrics (often in q drapery
store) for aprons and lunch cloths

all treasure our gifts, not only
because they were made under
such obstacles but because they
are really smart looking. She also

In her daughters home and did
most OF the mending because she
wanted to. She also was a whiz

had time and patience. She could
knit but didn't like to.
Grandma also got great deal
OF enjoyment from her religion.
Sunday she put aside all work.
listened to her regular church
service and pondered a long time
on what she had heard. Faith
meant a good deal more to her
than breezing into church on Sun

her age her views were backed up
by q lot Of wisdom.
And lastly, grandma was a

her. do hope your friend can
believe that there is much for her
to do and give to life.

He said the system could be

At present, the plan does not
involve any extra stockpiling of

mates that the city normally has
sufficient food in storage to feed
the population for 80 days, with
no additional food coming in. He
said the warehouses probably
could hold a 45-day supply if
filled to capacity.
In event Of destruction making

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-New York
City has armed its food supply
system against an atomic blitz or
any catastrophe.
1t didn't take any extra equip
ment to do the job. What it did
take-and still requires-is the
mass participation of food mer-
chants and transport operators
and their willingness to join in
test incidents to learn what to do
in a crisis.
City Markets Commissioner An
thony Masciarelli, who studied
military logistics to plan the city's
food defense. said the emergency
system is now in readiness.

direction of City Civil Defense
Director Arthur Wallander.
Bombing Analysis Made.
Mr.. Masciarelli, an attorney and
Navy veteran of World War II,
heads the special committee.
In mapping various alternate
supply plans and calculating pos
sible damage that might result
from bombings, Mr.. Masciarelli's S
Office made a careful analysis of
the effects of A-bombs dropped
on Japan during the war. These
findings were applied in figuring
a scale of maximum and mini
mum damage" to the metropolitan
area. The system of alternate
methods are geared for adjust
ment to the extent of damage.
Mr.. Masciarelli said that for
tunately for the citys food de-
fense. its handling facilities and
storage places were widely de-
centralized over the area, includ-
ing adjacent New Jersey cities
and suburban counties in New
York and Connecticut.
AS part of the emergency plans,
/ food suppliers now are conducting
what Mr.. Masciarelli calls fire

Supplying food needs of the

Daily the area consumes 54 mil

warehouses and storage plants.

Plan Your Hopper
Control Program

BY NOW YOU have pretty good
idea Just what your grasshopper
problem is. You have looked over
your range and fields and know
where the grasshoppers are.
If you do find that hoppersi are
developing on your place, the first
thing to do is to see your county
agent. He has complete information
on grasshopper control with bats
and sprays and can give you wealth
Of advice. Work out a planned OPP
Grafton for your control program.
Don't just jump in; work it out ahead
of time.
Much of the grasshopper control
this year is being accomplished by
aerial spraying. The Montana aerial
sprayers are fast becoming specialists
IN their fields. Most of them attend
a short course each year at Montana
State college to learn more about
how to carry out their spraying pro-
grams more successfully.
For the first time we have reason
to feel confident that the proper type
of spraying for grasshoppers is sure
fire. Last year more than 100000
acres in Montana were sprayed with
aldrin without single failure to our
knowledge.

whether these Communist countries

a LONG-NECKED periscope is
needed to see around all the twists
and turns in the wheat situation in
the year ahead. This writer does not
have, one that meets the specifica-
tions, but one point seems clear; it
will pay to store wheat if it is selling
a few cents below the 1851 crop loan
value at harvest time.
Prospects for both supply and util-
ization appear to be shaping up
about the same as in the past season.
If those prospects are fulfilled, there
will be no shortage of wheat and the
nation viii have generous stock in
the bin at the end of the season.
The June crop forecast is 1854 ,OO0,-
600 bushels 7O5. 100000 winter and
349, 100000 spring, which would make
it the largest spring wheat crop in Sc
years against 1927, 000, 900 bushels
last year and a 1940-49 average of
1,O71 100000 bushels.
The crop is still subject to sub

weather could add 100000 to 1OO,-
100000 bushels to it, while drouth,
bugs or blight could cut that amount
from it. Last years final outturn was
100000 bushels more than the
June forecast. Rains have raised win
ter wheat crop prospects in the
southwest substantially since early
spring, but they now threaten some
harvest losses.
Spring wheat is most sus-
ceptible TO a setback. Present
moisture conditions are rather
favorable. Considerable stem
rust. including the deadly race
! l5-B. is reported in Mexico. but
there is little rust in Texas. so
that the risk of severe outbreak
in spring wheat appears small.

 For the cleanliness of our clty and the health of our children, the city is obtaining services of an eX- terminator to do away with the rats, which are becoming nuisance. It is the responsibility of each individ- ual in our community to keep our city clean and by doing this NO Garbage" is to be dumped on the waterfront or any place within the city limits now or in the future. A city ordinance has been passed and is to be enforced, which prohibits the disposal of garbage in this man. ner. For the small fee of approXi- mately 35 cents weekly professional garbage disposal companies will come to each residents door so there is no excuse for improper garbage disposal. Remember, it is your-the taxpayers-money, which is to pay for the extermination of these, so let's keep our town healthy and clean and above all Tets don't feed the rats"

 At time when the nation seems almost to be losing some of traditional friends in Europe the trparte security treaty proposed among the United States Australia and New Zealand is reassuring thing The draft of f the treaty itself promises a strong alliance against aggression in the Pacific But the statements issued by spokesmen of the two Brit ish commonwealths down under bespeak the cordial feling of their peoples They have the ring of sincerity and genuine good will.
 Thus Sir Carl Berendsen, New Zealand ambas- sador in Washington D C., describes the treaty as "an engagement between three parties who, in the defense of liberty have in the past fought side-by- side on many hard-won field; who know and re- spect each others character and capacity who trust each other in all circumstances and who have proved their determination and their ability at all times to honor their pledged word"
 Amidst so much international inconsistency and suspicion it is heartening to believe that the United States will never "go it alone in the Pacific

 The report also pays tribute to the "gallantryp of the American boys who saw action in Korea, describes the MacArthur inquiry as in the public interest," and praises chairman Russell of Geor- gia for his fairness.
 In answer to the COP report, it is almost certain now that the Democrats will come out wit, a report of their own. It is known that the White House has been urging Senator McMahon of Con- necticut to take the lead in writ ing one.
 First note: It is an interesting sidelight that Senator Brewster brought word to the Republican Senators from General MacArthur that he would be satisfied with no report at all.
 Second note: The only two Re- puhlicans who have been left out of the backstage talks oyer the Macarthur report are Tobey of New Hampshire anl Morse of Ore gon. The official excuse is that both are on sick leave from the Senate. The truth is, however, that 10th are almost certain to go along with the Democrats on the Mac" Arthur issue.
