Congressional Interest
Sought for New Stamps
By james WoIdo Fowcett

The new Congress win be
asked to take an interest in
the proposed series Of stamps
In memory of heroes and hero
ines of the Revolutionary era.
A commemorative for Ma
than Hale, patriot spy. banged
by the British in New York,
September %, Its. heads the
list. He was born at Torring-
ton, Conn, June 8. 1755, and
Senators and Representatives
from Connecticut already are
In favor of having the prof.
ected stamp authorized for
first-day release at that place
on June 6. 1955--the bicenten-
nial of the beginning of Hale's
brief but devoted career.
Patrick Henry G736-1799),
famous Virginia orator, is the
second hero on the list to be
honored, and Paul Revere
(1735-1818), celebrated Massa-
chusetts minute-man courier,
Is the third.
Commemorative also are
wanted for Caesar Rodney
(1728-1824, hero of the ride
from Dover to Philadelphia
which saved Delaware for the
cause of independence in 1776.
and Samuel Osgood (l748-
1879, Massachusetts, soldier
and first Postmaster General
under the Constitution (1789-
179D.
Two women likewise are in
cluded in the Revolutionary
group proposed for admission

1879, wife of President John
Adams and mother Of Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams,

ence and equal rights. for
women; and Molly Pitcher.
otherwise known as Mary Lud-
wig Hays McCauley l754-
1892, fighting participant in
the Battle of Monmouth
(1778).
None of these worthless has
been accorded philatelic rec
ognition up to now except
Nathan Hale, who was pic
tured on a half cent stamp in
1925. The new issue for the
man who regretted that he
had but one life to give for
his country would bear an in
scription quoting that senti-
ment, while the Patrick Henry
commemorative would carry
the words: Give me liberty
or give me death!"
First-day ceremonies for
each of the Revolutionary per-
sonalities would be arranged
to dramatize their services to
freedom not merely IN their
own time but, by brilliant and
enduring example, in ours.
Advocates of the new series
call attention to the fact that
it truly would be of national
importance, not simply OF To-
cal significance. There would
be no partisan consideration
involved, and the influence OF
the issuance of the set would
: be entirely constructive in line
with the Statue OF Liberty.

High Angle for Crowds

shopping crowds should be SUI
ficient, but shoot from q high
angle for best effect. From o
second-story window your lens
will pick up q large segment OF
the crowds. Better plan this
shot for the daylight hours
when there will be plenty OF
light.
Animated window displays
are the best locations to catch
the holiday mood reflected in
facial expressions. Even the
grownups get a kick watching
these attractions. Corner dis
plays lend themselves perfectly
because you can shoot through
the glass of the corner to catch
the expressions of those peer
ing through from the other
side.
All the major department
stores have a toyland, complete
with a Santa Claus. This. Of
course, Is the ideal spot. II
your own children are with
you, so much the better. You
can start off by taking a shot
or two while they are waiting
in line to see Santa. Then
move in for a series Of close
ups as the tots discuss their
hopes with the old gentleman.
A picture of the two with heads
close togethe- in consultation
is ideal for a real closeup
shot. However, check the
focus carefully and beware of
too much light on the faces
and white beard. If you have
an extension flash, have some
one hold it back far enough
to prevent overexposure.
Snap children as they try
out the electric trains, ride the
bigger toys. and generally have
q big time. .-.

Wire-'Fishing' Tip

SINCE ELECTRICITY has come
TO so many farm homes, and the
farmer, in many cases is doing his
own wiring, he may meet the prob
lem of fishing wires out of walls
in old buildings when installing new
service outlets, range cables or door
bells. One method used is to make
several 10 to IL inch loops in some
discarded Christmas package rib
bon, the celephane or semi-cloth
type. Tie in the center with long
strong cord, leaving enough cord
hang down to tie good sized spike
or other small weight to.
Drop the weight through the hole
where the wire is to go, and force
the Christmas ribbon after it. This
ribbon will fluff out after it is in
the wall,
This method has been successful
Iy used to find wires in walls when
other methods have failed. 1t really
works. Floyd J. Deadmond

on can make your
money earn more money by investing in John
Deere Sarfex Disk Til1er. A Surfex is a gilt
edged investment for every grain grower, and
here's why:
First, Sarfex Tillers do better work because
they're flexible over the full width of cut. They
prepare smooth, uniform seedbeds that invite
better stands and bigger yields-make combin-
ing easier, too. They do excellent job of
mulching stubble after the harvest leaving fields
like woven mats that hoard moisture for coming
crops. And, in summer-fallow operations, Sartqex
Tillers work with deadly accuracy, killing all
weed growth.
Second, the big daily capacity of Sar,aex Tillers
writes off many an hour from your tillage
schedules. Sxrfex Tillers are ruggedly built to
work steadily, day-in and layout, and this de-
pendable operation eats up acres in hurry.
Third, draft is reduced through the of
high grade bearings, making every Sarfex Tiller
a lighter load on the tractor. Triple-sealed,
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-03-15

anti-friction ball bearings in the disk gangs and
Thinker bearings in all wheels smooth the way
to faster work in all conditions.
Fourth, you'll find Sarfex Tillers easier to
operate, adjust, service, and transport. These
time-saving features plenty of hard cash for
every owner.
Fifth, there's John Deere Sarjqex made to
measure for every grain growers acreage,
tractor power, or field conditions. Surfex Tillers
are available in two series. The No. 100 Series
is built in g., r., 10, and 2O-foot sizes with
disk spacing of 8 inches. Depth of penetration
is to inches. The deep working No. 1900
Series is built in T., 1O-1I2-, and 14-foot sizes
with disk spacing of 10 inches. They work at
depths up to nine inches, depending upon
tractor power and field conditions.

Here are some promising grasses

Big blue grass, native of western

Russian wild rye retains higher
feed value in midsummer than most
grasses. Crested wheatgrass and
smooth bronze have already proved
themselves.
