All Boys Sponsor
Two Sheep Projects

Two purebred sheep projects
have been started in this county
under the supervision of the Coun-
ty Extension staff.
This is the first time in the his
tory of All club work here that
sheep projects have been spon-
sored, according to James McHen-
ry, assistant county agricultural
agent, although several All boys
have conducted similar projects on
their own.
McHenry explained the purpose
as two-fold, first, to teach All club
members to raise sheep economi-
cally through the use of well bred
sheep, pastures and home grown
grains; secondly, to instruct All
boys in judging selecting, feeding,
managing and marketing sheep
and wool in order that they may
become the experienced flock own
ers of tomorrow.
An amount of $500 was loaned
to the county by the Sears Founda-
ton to sponsor the two projects.
McHenry pointed out that a prof.
ect consists of five purebred year
ling ewes. In order to obtain high
er quality an additional $3.50 was
used from the Acorn Associates
All fund making total of $3.50
invested.
He listed the two projects as fol-
lows:
Five purebred Hampshire ewes
were obtained for Arthur Fitz-
water, Jr, son of Arthur Fitz-
water, Sir, of Swanton. Three of
the five were purchased from Jack
Shober, Hampshire breeder, of Ber-
lin, Pa, and the other two were
purchased from Bill Stanton, a All
leader, of Grantsville.
Five purebred Suffolk ewes were
obtained for John Wildesen, son
of William Wildesen, Oak Grove
These five we're purchased at the
Stanton Suffolk sale and come
from Sugar Loaf farms, Stanton,
Va.
The All sheep club program is
so designed that the All boys sign
an agreement upon receipt of the
sheep. The agreement states that
the All boy has three years to pay
back the loan in the following man
ner: 20 percent the first year, 30
percent the second year, and so
percent the third year. Upon COM
pletion Of the agreement the
original ewes and the eve lambs
not sold become the property of
the 4-H'er. McIIenry said the sheep
would be exhibited at the various
All shows. He said he hoped to
build up several of these projects
in the future.

Wash Simulated
Leather Garments

If you should acquire a simu-
lated leather coat or jacket during
the holidays, you'll welcome a lit
tie "know-how" about the fabric
and how to care for it.
According to clothing specialist,
Lavonia Hilbert, University of
Maryland Extension Service, simu-
lated leather is term used to de-
scribe the thermo-synthctic resin
coated fabrics. 1t has the appear
ance, feel and pliability of genuine
leather. This fabric is also known
as fake, artificial or imitation
leather.
These fabrics have certain uses
and characteristics which make
them adaptable to a variety of gar
ment styles and trimmings. They
are also used in vests, sportswear
and accessories.
Simulated leather is soft and pill
able, regardless of climatic tenn
perature changes. 1t is scuff re-
sistant, wind-proof, non-inflamma-
Bile, washable, and tear and stain
resistant.
Miss Hilbert points out that
simulated garments that are UNI
lined or combined with washable
fabrics can be wet cleaned or
washed by hand successfully. Some
types of simulated leather tend to
become stiff and hard when dry
cleaned.
Jackets and coats that have lin
ing fabric and trim such as rayon,
wool or mouton may or may not
be dry cleaned successfully. If you
plan to send your garment to the
dry cleaner, it is a good idea to
consult with him about the clean
ing method to be used.

EISENHOWER ON RATTLINc SWORDS

President Dwight D. Eisenhower was asked, at a
recent press conference in Washington whether he
greed with Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson that

the President did not associate himself with any specific
charge made by Mr.. Wilson, he did give reply which
described his philosophy foreign policy clearly.
The President began by saying that he had been
involved in and fighting than people
talk in dealing with ones opponent He noted that in
Europe, during World War II, the Allied Command of
which he the chief was guilty of announcing
to the foe what it would do in certain offensive. In
stead Eisenhower said, the job required done in
busnessike and the force needed applied
the right point at the right time.
This he says is his idea of conducting relations with
foreign countries We must about relations in
businesske manner not warning the world of the
sequences of in boastful manner. but of quietly
building up strength If follow such policy, the
President believes we will be prepared to meet any
emergency that occurs, and there much less chance
that emergencies will occur.
What Mr.. Eisenhower is saying, though many re-
porters did not recognize it, to walk softly and carry
big stick. Though he would follow this philosophy
different ways perhaps than did the president named
Teddy, he would nevertheless follow the same general
policy. He would make the countrys military forces
strong and he would not brag about it. Neither would he
shrink from using them if conditions warranted such
action But for Dragging about the number of atomic
bombs the u. S. possess, of what will do or
can do, might do the Russians precipate trouble

his plans they executed.
