Farm Bureau Lashes
Senate Committee

COLUMBUS-The Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation today lashed
out at the Finance Committee of
the Ohio Senate for what it terms
as "jeopardizing the future of the
Agricultural Extension program"
for the state.
Last Monday night the Finance
Committee Topped off 100000 of
the House-approved operating
budget" earmarked to go for sal
aries for Ohio Extension workers.
According to d. r. Stanfield,
director of organization for the
Farm Bureau, This total appro-
priation is needed to stop the loss
of qualified people from the Ex-
tension staff. During the past 21s
years, Extension has lost 43 men
and women who have resigned to
accept higher paying positions.
This amount would make it pos
sible for Extension workers to re-
ceive approximately a 10 percent
increase in salary, comparable to-
increases being granted to other
state workers."
The farm leader charged that
Ohio has Jagged behind other
states in the percentage of state
funds used to support Extension
and that Extension is "the Num-
Der One factor in maintaining a
prosperous and sound agriculture
which is a billion dollar industry
in Ohio"
when new discoveries are made
in research 'Stanfield asserted,
lit is the job of Extension to take
these new findings out to the farm
where they can be put into prac-
tical uSe."
The Senate Committee also came
under fire by the Farm Bureau for
slashing by 100000 the House-ap-
proved budget for vocational edu-
cation. THE cut" Stanfield charg-
ed, lis neither consistent with the
needs of Ohio, nor with the trend
in the Nation toward the import
ance of vocational training"

40 Million Autos To
Jam Highways July 4

CHICAGO-Can you make quick
decisions? If you can't, you had
better stay off the nations high
ways and streets over the Fourth
of July weekend, the National
Safety Council said today.
1T has been estimated that the
average motorist has to make from
20 to so decisions per hour, de-
pending on the traffic." the Coun-
Gil said, "and a wrong decision can
be fatal. In extremely heavy traf-
fic, like that during holidays,
driver is never more than a second
away from an accident"
The Council expects more pleas
ure-seeking motorists to climb into
more cars and roll up more miles
during this three-day weekend
celebration than ever before in the
nations history.
Nearly 40 million motor vehicles
are expected to jam the highways,
and their speedometers are expect
ed to clock close to four billion
miles. The increasing of new cars
on the road and the substantial
rise in gasoline consumption, plus
the fact that many summer vaca-
tionists will use the .three-day
weekend as the beginning or end
of their regular vacation periods,
threaten a heavy death toll unless
extra care. is used, the Council
warned.

important issues to our farm men,
bers."
Rittenour indicated that all the
resources of the Ohio Farm Bu-
reau would be thrown into this

to reach all farmers who belong
to the Farm Bureau.
Recent meetings held by the
Farm Bureau indicate that farm
ers are concerned about falling
farm prices" Rittenour said. I'VE
have already received many sug-
gestions for improvement of farm
conditions. The issues proposed by
Secretary Benson will be given
consideration and the thinking of
farmers will be given to him."
Similar studies are being made
in other states, according to Presi-
dent Allen B. Kline of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation. Rit-
tenour said that the opinions of
Ohio farmers will be spelled out in
resolutions adopted at the farm
organizations annual meeting.

Good health isn't just hav-

means feeling good enough to

health is a complicated bust
ness because, as we know
nowadays, insecurity and If

conditions as asthma, COLTS,
headaches, and even colds. So
good health for a child means
"a loving home, a wholesome
neighborhood, a small class at

teacher. If a child is handi-
capped or in trouble, he des-
perately needs special, but
also kindly services. There are
tens of thousands Of children
in America still who lack
these essentials. They can't
speak for themselves. Who'll
bother to find their unmet

HIGH PRICES

ON WEDNESDAY this paper informed its readers and
subscribers that the price per copy and subscription rates had
increased. Ordinarily, this should have been a purely business
like announcement, and nothing else, But we view it as much
more. It is clear example of what is happening to the overall
economy. It is an indication that gone are the days when
things just went along when an easy life was the order of the
day. and when there was little to worry about.
AFTER MORE THAN 100 years, and every possible eff
fort, The Avis is no longer three cents. Paper, ink, labor, other
materials-all have scared to the point where even the new
announced rate scarsey permits of breaking even, and this
is taking into account receipts from advertising. Many who
have lived in these parts for many years will agree that not
only have the cost of things scared, but they have scared out
of proportion to that in the United States, for example.
MANY REGAL H day when 50 could have bought
an honest days work, and yet permit the person doing the
work to buy his share Of upkeep. But not SO today. The labor
market is what is called loose, and without a second thought
an employee might just stay away. This is neither a complaint
nor a grippe, but a statement of fact. Under these conditions
cost of living is bound to be high, and the cost of producing
even what used to be a Scent paper can go up.
H PROBLEM 70 which we make reference here is
not one peculiar to us, or to any group, but to each and every
one. Furthermore, it might be well if this entire matter be
given consideration by the legislature. There can be times
when runaway prices, coupled with an attitude OF ndltfer-5
ence can aggravate the condition to the point where its effects
are more devastating than need be.
AND H PROBLEM Of rising prices is h~ighlighted 10
caly when it is thought that the great bulk OF consumer goods
is rmnorted. Bought at high prices where produced, with
added cost of freight and transportation, it is not difficult to
see why we need to take action about high cost of goods. One
possible out is to give more attention to increasing local pro-
duction, and thus passing on to the consumer the benefit OF
the savings. However, unless and until something is done in
