Let's Keep 1t Clean

In American politics, nothing is better than good rous-

side the other and vote bunch of characters into

On the other hand, book says nothing is lower in
American politics than bunch of other characters who
think character assassination and unsavory whisper
paigns are part of the game.
We dpoe and protest the fact that character

We understand however, about half this space is con-

firehouse. No urging is needed
to get the crowd out for this
worthwhile event.
Next on Shrove Tuesday,
March 2, a pancake supper will
be held at st. Johns Parish Hall
N Olney. The menu for the
supper, sponsored by the Mite
Society of st. Johns, will include
a choice of creamed chicken or
country sausage, fruit salad and
all the pancakes you can eat.
Serving will begin at p. m.
The Sherwood Senior Class
will give their annual benefit
dinner on March 6 at the school
cafeteria from 4 to 8 p. m. Mrs.
H. King Vann is chairman of the
mothers committee with Sallie
Dallam serving as student chair
man. Fried oysters and chicken
salad will be on the menu, and
proceeds from the supper will go
towards financing the senior an
nual and for gift to the school
from the senior class. A bake
sale with all sorts of good things
will be another feature. Come on

this undertaking. Their annual

cuIosls, bruceIosis and the con.
troll of external parasites were
vigorously promoted. Montgom-
cry County was one of the first
in the country to adopt calfhood
vaccination for bruceloSis, which
was adopted this year. The Coun-
ty is now almost free of this
disease, which is a serious dairy
scourge in many areas, as well
as a threat to humans who use
the milk, MIR. Anderson stated.
Anderson's work with hybrid
corn and fertilizers has been in.
strumental in boosting the coun-
tvs average corn yield from %
bushels Is years ago to AZ bushels
now. He introduced lespedeia to
the northwest part of the county
in the depression years and this
crop has largely been the means
of changing that area from al
most a marginal area to one
of very prosperous agriculture.
The Agricultural Center in Cal
thersburg, headquarters of the
Montgomery County Fair, is an
other of Anderson's achieve
ments. The center now owns Ga
acres and has erected recreation
al facilities as well as the fair
buildins. The project is now
worth $11a million dollars and is
entirely free of debt. 1t was built
entirely from contributions of
money, material, equipment, and
labor.

a handful of boys in 1926 until
now more than 500 take part in

Anderson has seen many of these !

where they are helping other
youngsters profit from the work.
To provide credit facilities for
farmers, Anderson assisted in
