Lexington Youth Is
Home On Leaves

Robert G. Pepper, seaman,
USN, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
G. Pepper of 305 North Vine St,
Lexington, recently returned to
the United States while serving
aboard the hospital ship USS Re-
pose, known as the Angel of the
Orient" for its treatment of II, 900
soldiers with only 80 deaths.
The Repose, a $4,000 ton float
ing hospital with 800 beds, has
spent the past l6 months in Ko-
rea near the front lines within
easy reach of battlefield casual
ties.
In one action near Chinnampo,
Korea, the Repose inched its way
through 80 miles of dangerously
shallow channel in order to eva
cuate more than $50 wounded
United Nations soldiers before
they were trapped in a gigantic
communistic offensive. This
made it necessary for the crew
to work around the clock for 60
hours in one of the great rescue
operations of the war.

Eggs
Eggs are good buys. Two eggs
are equal in protein value to a
serving Of meat and cost much
less.
Peak egg production is Just
around the corner and lower egg
prices are predicted for the. spring
months. AS budget-wise house,
wife you should plan to relieve
the protein food portion of your
food budget by the use of more
eggs.
Last year every person In the
United States ate an average of
400 eggs - an egg aday plus. OF
course, several things helped to
bring about this wonderful re-
cord: The high price of meat
the grading of eggs - better me-
thods of marketing and more
varied use of eggs in the family
menu.
Your best buy in eggs that are
cartoned and labeled. Eggs in an
open contained in a heated store
may be of inferior quality unless
you know their age and pro-
Queer. A carton label should
show the size, whether grade A,
B or c and shell color Shell col
or has no effect on flavor, food
value or quality, however. Eggs
are found in Mississippi markets
in grades A, B and c.
Proper storage is essential for
egg. Just remember these three
keeping the high quality of an
C's - clean, cold and covered.
Eggs lose moisture readily so
they should be kept covered and
kept refrigerated until used. Stu
dies show that eggs stored at room
temperature for three days lose
as much quality as those stored
jim refrigerator for two weeks.

Behind The Scenes In
American Business
by Reynolds Knight

New York, Feb. 26 - Some re-
marks made by Boston mar
keting consultant are particularly
timely in these days when con-
sumers seem to be keeping tight
grip on their money at the ex-
pense of some manufacturers
with embarrassing inventories.
ROBBERS F. Elder, speaking at
conference sponsored by the
American Management Associa-
ton, warned that the time has
come when a big advertising and
marketing budget cannot bring
anything more than temporary
success to an inferior product.
Products must now perform sat
isfactorily under normal use and
must be made to suit the consum-
er's needs, he said.
In Elders opinion, the public
will no longer plunge into buy
ing sprees because of stories a.
bout probable shortages or price
increases. After noting the rise
in liquid savings he commented:
apparently our demand-crea-
ton machinery is not turning
prospects into customers as fast
as before"

cord. They have frequent calls,
I learned, for a powerful pre-

admitted that quite a few OF the
calls come from the nearby Bar

The five hundred fifty All
Club members are joining with
all other All Club members
over the nation to observe Ma
tional All Club Week from
March l-9.
Democracy has growing bull
wark bulwark that stretches
across our great country and in
to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico.
That bulwark is All Club
work where boys and girls learn
the great privileges and respon-
sibilities of democracy; indivi-
dual initiative; active citizen
ship; respect for others accom-
lpishments; group cooperation;
healthy competition; love of farm,
home and community; inter-
change of ideas from club to club
across state lines.
The story of the development
of such a great bulwark is faith
fully presented in the first his
tory of All Club work, The
All Story"
"The All Story" is too great
movement to be claimed by any
one man, unfolds through the
early 1900's when the country
was ready, youth was ready, the
time was right for the great up
surge of rural power. Stimuli
taneously, in various parts OF the
country, corn clubs and canning
clubs appeared, as county super
intendents of schools sought to
make education moro v;tol
f'ctor in tho EVERYDAY living of
the boys and girls. Then the col
'eoeS found ? WOW 70 let their
new discoveries be known thru
youth - eager, inspired. aner-
getic youth, who planted the ex-
detrimental corn. who used the
new ideas, who came together
in groups for discussions of bet
ter methods and for comparing
results. In 1911 the four-leaf
clover with HIS signifying head,
heart. hands and health appeared.
and hv 1918 the term "4-H Clubs"
was being generally used.
With the passage of the Smith
Lever Act in 1914, the Coopera-
tive Extension Service was es-
tablished and a national program
was on the way. In 1919 a group
OF public : spirited citizens fore
saw role for industry in build
ing stronger All, in strength
ening our youth, in participating
in the development of rural areas
to which industry owed so much.
From these beginnings came the
National Committee on Boys and
Girls Club Work, National A
wards programs, National All
Club Congress, and other SER
vices to All Club work. In 1927.
National All camp came into be-
Ing to honor All boys and girls
with outstanding abilities in
leadership and citizenship. AT
this first National All Camp, the
All pldege and motto were Of
ficially adopted.
All this and much more are in
the "4-H Story" with countless
episodes of early vision, youths
responsiveness, the strength and
devotion Of local volunteer All
headers, the capable direction of
federal, state and county extern
sion workers. The hope Of our
country lies in our county, and
today 100000 boys and girls
active members of All Clubs, are
living by the Ais of head, heart,
hands and health to build rich
ness into their lives, into their
farms and homes, and into this
wonderful country of ours.

Report From Washington
by Frank Smith

Inc OUTLOOK IOr the AMERICAN
cotton farmer in 1852 is greatly
confused. The normal hazards
of production have been aug
mented by the greatly increased
cost of the supplies which he
must buy and the labor he must
hire. There is no assurance what
ever of a price for the crop
which will yield the cost of pro-
duction.
If a large planting and favor
able weather bring big crop,
the price will likely fall below
the 80 per cent support level. If
planting is small, and unfavorable
weather further cuts production,
export controls are likely to be
invoked, which will knock the
props out from under the mar
ket. With no foreign market,
cotton cannot command a price
equal to the cost of production in
the Mid-South.
These uneasy alternatives have
been on the minds of members
of Congress from the Mid-South
region for the past few months.
An effort was made to persuade
the Secretary of Agriculture to
exercise his power to increase the
price support level to a more
realistic figure, but Secretary
Brannan has made it clear that
he will not take this step. In the
name of national defense, a pro-
duction goal of 100000 bales
has been established, but no.
thing has been done to imple-
ment the goal.
The Department of Agriculture
has failed to meet its responsible
bility to provide incentives to
meet production goals under the
authority granted by law. The
blame cannot be placed entirely
upon the Department, however.
There has simply not been en-
ough unified action in the cotton
belt in favor of better support
of legislation on the part of farm
groups and members OF Con-
gress. In this day of pressure
government" insufficient pres
sure has been built up.
Since there has been no admin
istrative action, there is still a
possibility of achieving some re-
medy through legislation in the
Congress. have joined other
members from our area in a vi
gorous effort to revise the parity
formula to reflect current cost
levels, including labor, and to
change the basis for calculating
the loan from middling to low
middling. Protection against ex-
port controls should be written
into the law to prevent these con-
trolls being used primarily for the
purpose of holding down the
price.
Although the strongest effort
will be made in behalf OF these
proposals and every other re-
medy which seems reasonable,
the prospects for writing them
into law are not at all good. The
prospects will not improve as
long as the general apathy about
the price problem continus in
other parts of the cotton belt.
In view of this outlook, as the
time for planting nears it is only
| fair to advise the cotton farmer
that any plans for increased
planting are at his own risk.
There is absolutely no assurance
! of any price support higher than
80 per cent.

Talking to taxi drivers can be

though some would not class such
learning under the head of Ii
beral arts. w. John Kenney, new
Mutual Security Administrator

talks to cab drivers so much that
one of them wrote to President
Truman saying, 'This guy Ken
nedy is a symbol of democracy"
Since then, he has been known
by the nickname of "Symbie.

had in a cab, the driver was
cussing the new regulations
which require automobiles to
have their lower-headlights on
while in the city streets, instead
of parking lights as previously
required. THAT was changed so
the pedestrians could see Us"
griped the driver. "Now with
these bright lights, we can't see
