nation of the individual dignity of
men"
Describing the Declaration of
Independence as "the miracle Of
America" Senator Frear said it
established the principle that
every mans future in this country
is, for the most part, within his
own control
"This fact" he added, "has en-
abled Americans in the period of
one hundred and seventy-seven
years to expand from a narrow
fringe of people along the Eastern
seabOard all the way across an en-
tire continent, and at the same
time to outstrip every other nation
of the world in progress"
"And So" said Mr.. Frear in con-
clusiOn, "let us on the Fourth of
July at least for few moments
give honest, if tempered, iubilation
in behalf of our Nations origin
and history. Ours is not the gloat-
ing of cOnqueror, nor is it an
attitude of complacency and SNUG
ness. Rather, it is a feeling of self
respect, honor and freedom which
can only come from a Nation and
a people which have met and car
ried out the responsibilities before
them"

cause production in these indus
tries is a physical or mechanical
process which is cOntrOllable by
man. Because farm production is
a biological process that cannot
be greatly accelerated or retarded
In a short time and is dependent
upon weather, there is no autOma-
tic force which spontaneously tends
to bring production and distribu-
tion together when they get out of
proper relationship.
on the status of government
farm program as a device for bring
ing this relationship closer, he
said: Gwen though present farm
programs have not yet demOnstra-
ted their ability adequately to re-
late supply and demand for farm
products, they do, however, provide
good foundation on which to
build for the future. The job now
is to move forward from where we
are and build the effective kind of
farm programs we really need We
now have a tremendous wealth of
experience to draw experience
that was not available in the early
thirties."

He cited three choices: One is
to ask government to enter the
marketing field to be the stabilizer.
Another is to ask private enter
prise to assume the responsibility.
And the third is to ask private en-
terprise to do the job with help
from government.
Davis stated his belief that the
best way to stabilize prices is to
place the CHIEF responsibility on
private enterprise, rather than on
government. He noted, however,
that in the past private enterprise
has not met the need to develop
an adequate marketing system.
Davis saw hope in encouraging
voluntary cooperative arrangements
to build that system, teamwork on
the part of all segments of the ag-
ricultural industry to provide price
stability at fair levels. But he warn
ed that time does not stand still.
UNLESS new and better answers
can be found, we will, by default,
move in the direction of more and
more government in farm market

not have large enough farms to

machine work than to own large

USDA Seeks Opinion On
PFOgrams

Farm programs based on sug-
gestions of farmers themselves are
the goal of a procedure made pub
lie recently by Secretary Benson.
He said he has forwarded letters
to representatives Of major farm
organizations, the land-gTant col
leges and experiment stations, and
other agricultural groups over the
country requesting their judgments
and views on what are sound prin-
ciples upon which farm programs
should be based. These relate to
such problems as price supports,
commodity marketing, and foreign
trade. The Secretary indicated that
information would be furnished
members of the Congress as legis-
lation is considered, many of whom
have requested "grass roots Opin-
ion" on farm problems.
I'VE have had fine response from
groups over the entire country"
the Secretary said. Il have desig-
mated six of my top staff members
as a committee to prepare a pre-
liminaTy digest of the reports re-
ceived, for presentation to the Nat
iOnal Agricultural Advisory Com
mittee at a meeting called for
June 29th."
Chairman of the Department
committee is Under Secretary True
ID. Morse. In addition to the De-
partment committee there are some
Is groups made up of Department
employees studying various phases
of present and proposed farm pro-
grams. A review is being made of
letters and reports that have been
received from farmers and others
offering suggestions and making
recommendations.
Who Should Garry Out Farm
Programs?
Maintaining a reasonable bal
ance between production and mar
ket outlets has always been the
basic problem in agriculture. It's
a problem that's been with us for
a long time, and still remains un-
solved.
The question of who should un-
dertake this job of relating supply
and demand has been raised in two
recent addresses, here in the North
east, by John H. Davis. He's the
director of commodity marketing
and adjustment, in the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, and Presi-
dent of the Commodity Credit Cor
pOTation.

Oversees Mailing
 Date: November IS

Parcel post mailing of Christ mas packages to servicemen overseas has a deadline of No vember 15. This was announced in general message released by the Navy Control of Shipping Office here this week.
 Mail to the most remote areas, particularly the Far East, should be in the post office by Novem- Der 1, the message states, to in sure delivery by Christmas. Con- gestion caused by returning or rotating of servicemen is liable to divert airmail to regular routes, causing delay in delivery if packages are mailed after No vember IS. This applies to pack ages for stations outside the continental United States in Oar ticular, but the deadline should be observed for any Christmas mail to servicemen outside the Territory of Alaska.

Board Discusses Memorial Funds

At the regular meeting of the Community Library Board on Wednesday night, the subject of setting up m m or a fund S h elves was discussed. The Breitenbach Children's Memorial now amounts to $500. This will afford general replacement of children's classics and increase the size of the department ma terially. Mrs. Swetmann, presi- dent of the Board, agreed to a study of the situation as han dled in Seattle and the general category of books usually con tained in this sort of collection. A brass plate will be placed in the library identifying the me morial books.
 Similar plates will identify the Swetmann and Brownell memorial shelves.
 Other business settled was grant of the use of the library to the Business & Professional Women's Club for an art show of children's work November 27, and the purchase of locked bookcase for valuable and un- replaceable books owned by the library.

feet of church, is holding up action on the application. MT. Werner had in his possession building permit issued in March, which predateS the building per init obtained for the Baptist Church at Fourth and Jefferson. This permit, Werner argued, should prove intent and make his liquor application valid.
 Immediately following the dis cussion on Werner's license, the liquor dealers of Seward pre- sented a proposed ordinance linn iting the number of establish mentS to the present businesses now licensed within the city limits. Anthony again spoke out, saying that the city faces tre- mendous debt and in his opinion any business asking for a license should get it, whether it is li- Quor or taXicabs. "Of course" Athony remarked, "a limiting ordinance would be good protec- tion for the present business houses, but it should be a case of survival of the fittest." He was supported by Stockton and Hodson and the proposed ordi- nance was defeated by unani- nous vote
 Raise In Water Rates
 First reading of an ordinance prepared by the Utility Board was made after several smaller items of business were settled. The proposed ordinance will mean a hike in water rates for users outside the city limits. A new schedule of charges will raise rates for domestic use to S7.50 per month and double commercial rates, including raise for trailer courts.
 The proposed ordinance also sets up a charge for connecting private water lines after date of passage of the ordinance and specifics that none but an em- ployee of the water system or a licensed plumber may make the attachment to the main. This ordinance will have the second reading at the next meeting of the council
 A special meeting has been called for Monday, October 26 At this time committee appoint ments may be made, but it is thought that there may be just an orientation for new men and discussion of general prob lens.
