he said. Although the year is
not yet over, the number al
ready compares favorably with
the % new cooperators added
in 1851.
The local gain reflects a

SCS, with 80 percent more new

operators assisted in 1852 than
in 1851. More than a quarter
million farmers in the Nation
became district cooperators for
the first time last year, the
report said. They raise the total
to 100000 farmers who are
receiving SCS assistance through
districts and who operate one
fourth of the Nations farm
land.
Locally, the new cooperators
bring to 396 the number of
farmers who have requested
technical assistance from Will

walton Service farm planner
for the district, and other SCS
technicians whose services are
available to the farmer. These

This increased demand indi-
Gates that our district, estab-
lished only years ago, is a
going concern of real value to
the farmer" the chairman said.
Hes learning that soil con-
servation pays off"
Timmons pointed out that,
in addition to its regular work,
the Soil Conservation Service
has furnished technical assis-
tance on permanent type
practices, such as terracing,
contouring, drainage, and ponds,
to 100 farmers referred to ii
by the county Production and
Marketing Administration Com
mittee. Of these 33 were al
ready cooperators and / became
cooperator.
This additional responsibility
for checking layout and in
stallation of those practices,
for which the PIMA provides
financial assistance, was as
signed to SCS in 1851 by the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
BY the end of the year,
Timmons predicts, the number
of permanent practices applied
on local farms will surpass any
previous year.
"The increased accomplish
ments in prospect this year is
due largely to our procedure
of progressive planning" Will
bur Shisler, local farm planner,
explained. '"The system allows
farmers to become cooperators
Immediately and get help from
us with practices that will ev-
entually become part of their
basic farm plan"
This way, he said, farmer
need not wait for a complete,
rounded farm plan. He can
start gradually and move pro-
gressively into conservation
farming.
/ Chairman TimmonS also said
a still greater increase in con-
servation farming is EXPECTED as
consequence of the recent
realignment of SCS field forces,
which will place more tech
nical help in direct assistance
to the farmer.
Nationally, more permanent
type measures were applied to
the country's farms and ranches
during the 1852 fiscal year than
in any other year in the history
of the SCS, according to DR..
Robert M. Salter, Chief of the
Service.
One out of every five far
mers in the United States is
now an active cooperator in
one of the 2,400 districts which
cover more than four-fifth the
Nations agricultural land, DR..
Salter pointed out. He added
that accomplishments resulting
from SCS assistance to farmers
were greater in every major
line of activity in 1852.

ceive that the old man wasn't en-
joying his wealth great deal.
Basil thought about the matter a
lot, and presently he decided that
on the interest from 100000 man
could live in comfort and happiness
and not have to work. He decided,
too, that it is unwise to spend your
whole lifetime trying to acquire
this amount. It would be better to
acquire it by the time you were
35, then you could have a long
time to enjoy it.
And so Basil made his two res
olutions. He was 81 then, bright,
energetic, ambitious. Moreover, he
was possessed of a grim and re-
lentless determination. A stubborn
ness.
He secured a job as shipping
clerk with an export house. Within
two years he was boss shipper.
From boss shipper he jumped to
manager of the department. From
manager he went to assistant super
intendent, then to superintendent.
1t wasn't easy. He worked nights
and Sundays. He conspired in all
sorts of ways to bring himself to
the attention of his superiors. He
labored over plans and schemes for
saving the company's money.
Carefully he began to invest his
savings. He never speculated. He
studied the stock reports and read
books on finance. Five years after
he invested his first 500 he had
$4,000 worth of good stocks and
tidy bank account.
Money makes money. An invest
ment of $50,000 rapidly enlarges
itself. Basil never got beyond the
job of superintendent at the ship
ping company, but he didn't have
to. He scrimped and saved and in
vested two-thirds of his salary each
year. At 80 he had better than
500, 900.
He was still working hard. He
never let down. He kept at it and
at it and at it. On his 35th birthday
he handed in his resignation. His
assets totalled $500, ,001.
Fifty miles from his native town
Basil built his home. 1t was small,
modest, beautifully located near a
lake. He got big kick out of it.
A year passed. Work on Basips
house and grounds was finished.
The laborers went away. Basil
settled down to rest and relax and
enjoy life. He bought lot of books
and took up reading, but he wasn't
used to concentration of that sort.
1t required an effort to read. He
bought a Sailboat and sailed it on
the lake, but before long he tired
of this too.
Another year slipped by. Basil
grew restless, dissatisfied. He was
used to a life of work, of activity.
Idleness weighed heavily on him.
He considered establishing himself
in some kind of business. but GRIM,
ly shook his head at the thought.
Gradually, inevitably, trying to
enjoy himself in idleness began
wearing him down. He was un-
happy, discontented. He tried
sleeping late mornings, eating rich
foods. lounging about the house in
dressing gown and slippers. But
it was no good. Hollows appeared
in his cheeks, circles under his
eyes. He became thin, haggard.
And so he kept at it and at it
and at it. And when five years had
passed, when Basil Douglas was
40, he aWoke one morning and
couldn't get out of bed.
Three days later, Basil Douglas
passed away. He lay in his bed, his
face grey against the pillow, his
eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
Even in death they seemed to CLINT
to hold a challenge, a relentless
determination.

Coal Miners Refuse To Work in Protest Of WSB Pay Cut

PITTSBURGH, (P) = More than half the country's 375,0O0 soft coal miners refused to work Monday as protest against the government ordered cut in the S1.90 daily wage boost they re- gently won from the industry.
 Come-to-work whistles were ig- nored by 67,500 miners in west ern and central Pennsylvania alone. These diggers joined the 160,000 miners who refused to work last week across the nation while the Wage Stabilization Board was debating approval Of the pay hike for miners formerly earning a basic minimum daily wage of $16.35.
 After the WSB approved $1.5O of the pay increase, bringing the new basic daily wage to S17.85, more miners joined their idle fel- low workers Now at least 227,000 are staying away from work.
 The walkout came at a time when coal stocks are at a near record high. The estimated 85 million tons. of stored coal is the biggest stockpile in history ex- cept for 1942 when the supply of coal above ground was around 100 million tons. Ample supplies mean that industry and house holders won't feel a coal short age for two months or more.
 Most miners said they consid- cred the WSB action as nullify- ing their contract.
 Members of the United Mine workers traditionally won't work without a contract.

Supreme Court Refuses To Block Trial Of
 Seven Hawaiian Reds

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Su- preme Court Monday refused to block the Honolulu trial of seven persons on charges of plotting to teach overthrow of the United States government.
 The seven include Jack w. Hall regional director of the Harry Bridges International Longshore- mems and Warehousemens Union.
 The seven were arrested Aug. 28, 1851, by the FBI. The Blu reau described the seven persons as Headers" of Communist activ- ity in Hawaii.
 The group asked the Supreme Court to issue an order prohibit ing US. District Judge Jon Wig from proceeding to put them on trial. They contended the indict- ment returned against them Aug. 29, 1851, in federal court in Homo lulu was defective.
 The grand jury which returned the indictment, the group said, was drawn from jury array which was not racially, economic ally or geographically representa- tive of Hawaii.
 Justice Douglas last Sept. 19 re- fused to stay the trial. The Ha- waiian court then ordered the trial put off until Nov. 5, to give the full Supreme Court time to consider the groups request.
