tack would be imminent and all
flights would be grounded except
those approved, by the military
and most radio aids to naviga tion
would be shut down.
Under a white warning--in ef-
feet as soon as a military er1er-
gency is declared-tIe Civil Aero
nautics Administration could re-
quire all civilian planes to file de-
tailed flight plans and to fly un-
der rigid restrictions.
Under q yellow warning an at
tack is expected but not immi-
nent or an attack has just oc-
CURED. Military commanders at

The ferry boatmen operating in
the shadow of the glittering new
Chesapeake Bay Bridge are ap-
preaching the end of their voy-
aging.
At 6 pm. on Wednesday they
will nose their four boats into the
docks on each shore, signal final
stop" to the engine rooms, Sc
cure the moorings, and hit the
beach for whatever the future
may hold.
Meanwhile, some 308 employees

Some to Work on Bridge.
About so of the State employees,
mostly toll collectors and main
tenance men, are to be trans
ferred to work on the bridge.
The others, including boat
crews with a high percentage OF
men getting along in years, will
have to shift for themselves.
The State, however, will pay
those discharged a bonus-twc
weeks pay for every year served
in amounts UP to $500.
Those with long service also
are to receive modest pensions.
The feeling in the neet is one
OF sadness rather than bitterness
at being laid aside. Even the
elder men want jobs, not sever
ance pay or pensions. A State offi-
cial told the men, would it heir

Price Insurance" Speculation makes possible
hedging in the Minneapolis Grain Exchange futures
market By insuring against risks, hedging allows
elevators to handle grain on low margin and thus
pay you more. Spectators are not gamblers, do
not create risks Rather, like insurance companies
they assume risks for others that exist from
the day you plant the grain.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1952-04-01

A year round market. There is always some
one who will buy your grain when you want to sell
although this may require storing in elevators
until consumers are ready to use it Spectators,
judging future consumer demands and deciding
from this the price they willing to pay, help to
create a ready market even when mills and other
users are temporarily not buying grain.
