Sign Of Spring

According to reports from Orlando.
Washington Senator fans may as well
resign themselves to another dismal
season. Griffith will not make a trade
unless he can get two players for one.
or four for two.
Just why the Senators are calmly
standing pat is q real mystery. They
have no farm or scouting system worthy
Of the name, and just how far can they
get with washed up and rejected
players from other clubs?
The Senators captured their last
pennant and world championship 10
years ago. They have not won anything
since. Local fans have become ac-
customed to Washington being first in
war, first in peace and last in the
American League.
Irving Shapiro.
Editors Note: To imply that the
Senators have finished last consist
emily since 1888 is to foul out. Their
only trips to the cellar in the last 10
years were In 1914 and 1949.)

It has been wisely said that in the
old days most of us blamed sickness
on something we had eaten, while
today sickness may result because OF
not eating some of the foods which
are really necessary in the diet. A
well-rounded daily diet is a necessity
for good health. Such diet should
include the high protein foods such
as meat, dairy and poultry products
las well as vegetables, and whole
grain or enriched cereals.

largest and best eve lambs, prefer
ably those from ewes and rams that
were twins, should be saved for
breeding.
In lamb feeding, minimizing price
risk by buying feeders when mar
kets are glutted and staying away
when prices are looming is an inn
portant element in success. In some
cases, native feeder lambs may in
vo1ve less risk than range lambs
because Of their lower cost.
Starting lambs on concentrates
gradually is necessary to avoid di-
gestive troubles. Pushing lambs too
fast may lead to heavy death losses.
Vaccination will protect against en-
terotoxeInia or ''overeating disease"
if lambs are self-fed or used to
lamb-down corn. Clean feed hunks
and avoiding mud around water
tanks will help to keep lambs
healthy and making rapid gains.

downtown Washington will begin
Saturday. Civil Defense Director
John E. Fondahl announced today.
About 160 blocks, mostly in the
First and Second police precincts
and partially in the Third and
Fourth, will be included in the
survey.
Members of the Civil Defense
Police Reserves. each carrying Of
fetal identification cards, will
make the survey during business
hours.
Every building will be checked
for potential shelter value. The
surveyors will be provided with
forms on which to record the
pertinent information. These
forms will be turned in to the
office of Henry B. Mallory, District
Department of Building Inspec-
tion, for preliminary evaluation.
Buildings that have no potential
shelter value will be stricken from
the list.
Superintendents or owners of
the other buildings will get an
other form which they will be
asked to fill out and return. These
forms will be turned over to a
board of professional engineers
and architects, who will make
final inspections and evaluations
to designate structures for official
shelters.
These buildings will be identi-
fed both outside and inside with
directional shelter signs.
An on-the-street population

This is to find out how many

concerning the secret of real
happiness is found in Psalms SIS
and 81. We read, Blessed is the
man whom Thou choosest, and
causest to approach unto Thee,
that He may dwell in Thy
courts" And, Blessed are they
that dwell in Thy house; they
will still be praising Thee"
Those who profess to love God
and His Son will find a source
of real happiness in personal
communion with Him and in at
tending public worship in fellow
ship with other believers. In fact,
those who become Indifferent to
these means of grace also become
cold and weak in their spiritual
life, and they will lack the Joy
which should be theirs.
Therefore, if you want real
happiness, accept Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Saviour, live by
His Word and fellowship with
Christian believers. - Roy E.
Wikander.

'The Happy Man"


As We read the Word of God,
we see that our Creator intend
ed that man should be happy.
We also learn that this happiness
Is not found in material posses
sions, nor in the pleasures which
this world has to offer. Happiness
is dependent upon ones spiritual
condition.
The Apostle Paul is one ex-
ample of this truth. Though he
was poor in this worlds goods,
he was able to say, Il have learn
ed in whatsoever state | am,
Herewith to be content" When
he was taken prisoner, beaten
with many stripes and cast into
Jail, he, with his fellowlaborer
Silas, prayed, and sang praises
unto God" They were happy.
The Psalmist knew the secret
of this happiness. In many pas
sages of the Psalms, he describ-
ed the happy man. We read in
Psalm 80, Blessed is he whose
transgression is forgiven, whose
sin is covered. Blessed is the
man unto whom the Lord i'm
puteth not iniquity, and in whose
spirit there is no guile. These
verses point out the first step in
obtaining real happiness. No
person can be happy with unfor-
given sin in his life. God has
provided a way by which our
transgressions might be forgiven
and that our sin might be cover

0hioans Farm
Fewer Acres

Ohio has 2.5 million fewer
acres in farms than it had 80
years ago. This is an area equal
to about nine average sized
counties.
Two main factors have brought
most of the change, says H. r.
Moore, agricultural economist at
the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station. Some land has
gone out of production and some
has been taken over for use other
than farming. s,
Some land, poorly adapted to
agriculture, has gone back to
brush and timber. Some is in pub
lie forests, parks and lakes. Some
is in idle farms which in time
may come back into, production.
'This applies particularly to 26
southeastern Ohio counties which
now have 70 percent of their land
area in farms, compared to 81
percent 80 years ago. These
counties account for IA million
of the acres lost to FARMS" Moore
says.
In the past 80 years, more than
half-million acres of farm land
in Ohio's eight most populous
counties have been taken for in
dustrial sites, residences, roads
and other developments that go
with a growing population. These
eight counties now have about SIS
percent of their land area in
farms as compared with 78 per-
cent in 1920.
The remaining 81 counties now
have 0.6 million less acres in
farms than 80 years ago, loss of
only 4 percent. Industrial and
residential growth around the
numerous medium sized cities
and smaller towns accounts for
most of this change.
