Ancient Satchel Paige was the

Last year. an American League
player noted for his speed
challenged the Yankees Mickey

was no race. That incident is a
good illustration of why the fun

baseball.
A Dash Of Wit
LET me make it clear that what
l am humping for is not the kind
of baseball that makes amockery
out of the game itself. Baseball
players must be serious about
their actual playing. But who
can deny that wit and good
humor would help put the real
color back into the game? Actu-
ally, wit and humor are things
all of US can use in our everyday
lives. whether we're playing base
ball, operating a business or run

I wish the serious young men
of today who are playing base

Sell the Homestead

I'M AGAINST social security for
farmers.
I believe that any serious and
foresighted rancher or farmer can
see and smell ultimate socialism for
the entire U. S. population through
the supposedly good things to be
gained by our over indulgence in
Socialized practices.
There is a certain amount of herit-
age connected with farming. Let's
keep it that way instead of just
waiting around until we are IS. If
a farmer can't make for his own re-
tirement, he better wake up before
he gets to that point and sell the
old homestead. There are jobs he
can get in industry where he can
get social security if this is what he
desires.-Gene w. TierneY. Wheat

Road to Communism

SOCIAL SECURITY for the farm
err is a direct road to communism.
People who have no backbone and
no aim in life are always looking
for something for nothing.
My folks went through three grass
hopper years in Minnesota, had 20
acres of farm land and the rest
timber, raised eight of us children,
never asked for favors and always
paid for what they received.
I came to Montana in 1907 and
have done nothing but farming since
then. I went through all the hard
times I believe that they ever had
in Montana. 1 and my family do
not want social security and do not
need It'll. w. ouitmeYer. Roose-

Good Insurance

SOCIAL SECURITY is insurance,
a good way to invest in the time
when we slow down and through
sickness, poor crops or bad manage
ment we need little help we'd have
it paid for and no need of charity.
1t would be good to finish the last
few years knowing you were on your
own. If you wouldn't need the mon
ey, all the better. Just knowing it
was there would help a lot.-Charles
Reid.

Taxing Future

I WOULD NOT be against social
security if the money would be put
into fund and reserved to pay So
cial security when lit is due. I am
against spending social security mon
ey in the general budget then tax
ing future taxpayers to keep up So
cial security payments.-Joe F. Con-
sidine. Broadus.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-03-01

1 THINK THE farmers should be
under the federal social security
program because we are already
helping pay other peoples pension
plans whenever we buy any manu-
featured goods of any kind, so we
just as well pay a little more and
have one for ourselves.-Ralph w.
Crossner.

Lean.
 .MacLean is thirty-nine, and ia graduate of Conception Uni versity in the Chemical En- gineering Department. The school is located at Concep- cion, Chile. He is married and and has two children.
 Punta Arenas is a city of a little less than 5000 popula- tion, being the last most southerly port on the South American Continent. During the old days before the Pana- ma Canal was built. Funta Arenas was a thriving metro polls, being an over night stop for all Atlantic to Pacific and visa versa traffic. But the
 
 Canal onits. completion ended this era of travel, and with it the economic value of the tourist trade.
 An interesting comparison Of the crab canned ins Chile and the King Crab of Kodiak is this. The Kings from here are a little better than twice as big, the average weight per Kodiak King being about g pounds and the Chilean pro- duct running about 3 and one half pounds per crab. Structu- rally the two are almost identi- cal. An added part of the in- dustry in Chile was the utila- zation of the small waste pieces and the tails which they grind up, add certain condiments, can and put It on the market as a sandwich paste.
 Chilean Crab is caught by tangIe nets and Mac was in- tensely interested in the added two methods used by local fishermen in obtaining their

catches. The crab pot or traps and the dragging methods. These methods were something new to Mac and on his re- turn to Chile he is going to experiment with them. The sea bottom is very similar to that found irl Kodiak and he believes it will make a tre- mendous difference in the amount of the catches. Another change he intends to try and make on his return is to lenghthen the fishing sea son. At the present time they only fish for crab for two months; during November and December. Their yearly pack is 5000 cases which is all consumed locally. There are AS units to a case and the cans weigh l2 or 13 ounces per can. The local product is an 8 ounce can or half pound.
 Tn American money the cannery labor earnsso one dollar a day, but on the other hand that same laborer can buy a whole lamb for $2.50. Living costs in the South American countries is much less than in the U. S. Mclean hires So fishermen and 60 laborers to operate the cannery. The en. fire product is all hand and fancy packed and the entire pack is eaten in Chile.
 When asked about Com munism in Chile Mac replied with a'big smile on his face, "They are much in the mi nority. There are only a few
 
 and they make a big noise.
