New Attack Planned
On Cattle Grubs

Veterinary scientists. searching
for better ways to control cattle
grubs, have come up with another
new angle Of attack. the American
Foundation for Animal Health an
nounced today.
Research veterinarians Of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
have reported encouraging results
with daily intake Of phenothiazine
during the months when heel flies
deposit eggs on the legs of cattle
The drugs are absorbed into the
animals blood stream so they can
attack grubs before extensive dam
age is done.
Treated cattle averaged some
800 fewer grubs than untreated
animals, and some were completely
free Of infestation.
Crubs are the larvae Of the heel
n.y. They burrow into the animal
from eggs deposited on the hide
by the adult fly After living with
in cattle several months. they pune
ture their way out again, usually
through the back, and in so doing
cost the livestock industry millions
of dollars every year in damaged
hides and prime meat cuts.
Some success in cattle grub con-
troll also bas been reported with
drug injections which accomplish
much the same results as the feed
ing program according to the Foun-
dation, but more research is neces-
sary.
The present common method Of
control BY spraying or busting
cattle is considered satisfactory.
1t does not prevent ali damage to
the hide, inasmuch as treatment
cannot be started until grubs are
present under the skin Of the back

debatable. America today needs
more spectators.
Pioneering Encouraged
1t is said that the Democrats
inaugurated most of the new tax
law changes to help the sick and
aged. The Republicans, however.
are responsible for the features of
the 1854 Tax Law which encourage
invention, industry and young con
Germs. During the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration, business was treated
with certain disdain. The New
Deal politicians and professors, who
had had no experience with busi-
MSS, wrote the laws.
Such legislation has helped the
unfortunate who were unable to
work, but it has discouraged the
formation of new companies to
provide future employment. 1t has
been very difficult for young men
to get the capital or to save enough
from earnings to start a new busi-
ness. It has been like trying to run
a church without a Sunday School
or have family without raising
children The, new 1854 Tax Law
makes it easier for any young man
of good character to start a new
business. 1t also encourages older
investors to take some risks by
starting new enterprises, pros
pecting for uranium and other rare
metals, and providing future en-
ployment for the next generation.

and whose vision is transferred to
their sensitive finger-tips, may now
obtain any needed information hand
punched in braille! If a salesman,
for instance, wants braille listings
from classified telephone book, a
student or worker requires a spe-
cial course not presently available,
or a business or professional person
needs an article, paper or book in
his spectacular field; he has only
to request that the desired work be
punched for him. This monumental
service to the blind is performed by
the New York Guild for the Jewish
Blind, nOn-sectarian agency. It
makes no difference what the ap-
plicants faith may be, nor what
his income is. The only qualification
is his, or her need for this assis-
tance.
The Guild now maintains the
largest hand-punched braille library
in the world, but it feels that stan
dard works are pitifully inadequate
to the requirements of the blind
who are just as much individuals
with special needs and high am
bitiOns-as any Of their more for
tUnate brothers and sisters. And to
meet such needs the Guild has
recruited a volunteer staff of $50
trained and qualified braille work
ers who give their patient and
Dains-taking efforts to this high
cause.
Right now. for example. a num-
Der skilled people are engaged in
the tedious task of punching out
material on Supreme Court deci-
sion for a blind professor who has
just received a fellowship to write
a book on the history and work of
the high court. Meanwhile, others
are at work on AZ titles for the very
young blind (whOse numbers are
tragically increasingly. Books for
the little Unnn1n include e17o1, ohi1I
hood favorites as THE Ugly Duck
ling, "The Little Pear, "The
Dolls House" mot Ibsen's) and

Speaking Of bouts, we were sur
prised TO read in the sports sec
ton of our daily paper here in

six round bout here this week. He
was fighting someone niether of us

would referee. Thought maybe you,
who are sportsminded, would be
interested in what becomes Of those
who lose their crown.
AS mentioned before. things
looked pretty wonderful to me this
morning. Last fall was our first fall
spent in Kansas and / can tell vol
1t was a drab season to us. Leaves
on the trees died before they ever
turned autumn cOlors because Of
the drought. This year seems to be
equally. dry, but Topeka seems
pretty cOlOrful. OF course it couldn't
compare to your cOlors at home.

they have beauty supreme in New

through Pennsylvania. We drove

THE % COUNTRY sTORE

We all like to talk about the "good old
days, but how many of us would turn the
clock back if we could? Probably no better
illustration Of the good old days" could be
cited than the country grocery store. One
could patrOnlze such store year after year
and tind the cracker barrel, the pickles, and
Jne wheel of cheese in the same place. The
old store exuded an aroma of salt meat
bananas, apples and other delicacies that
one never forgot.
The lack of change gave it an air of per-
manence and made it seem like an old
friend. But today no one would buy crack
ers that had to be handled by a clerk. You
wouldn't buy cheese where flies were walk
ing over the cloth that covered it-neither
would you accept wOrnny apples. You want

stead Of buying fruit in season, you want

your milk or meat except from refrigerated
counters. You wouldn't want your potatoes
OF other heavy vegetables setting on the floor

why your cost Of living has gone up-the

the demand of the consumer for expensive

INSEPARABLE

When the boys and girls go away to col
lege, they remain interested in the personal
items about their home town that only the
local newspaper can provide. AS matter of
fact, that is true with all of us when we
are away from home. News is a precious
commodity and nothing quite satisfies the
public appetite for it like daily and weekly
newspapers.
The local paper chronicles the society
news and club activities; publishes births
and deaths; heralds the changes in the wea-
ther; records court proceedings and real
estate transactions; keeps businessmen in
formed on economic issues and crop condi-
tions provides household tips; gives the lat
est women's fashions and styles; and pro-
vides handy display Of the local shopping
scene which can save the consumer many
steps-a review Of home town activity un-
obtainable elsewhere.
Last but not least the country editor is
constantly on guard to preserve the freedom
of the press, thereby helping to preserve our
political and religious privileges. The theme
for National Newspaper Week this year was
Freedom of the Press-What It Means to
the Man on the Street" Without freedom of
the press there would be no free men or free
industry-one cannot exist without the
other.

Mass, Webber College for women at
Babson Park. Florida, and third
college in the center of the United
States, at Eureka, Kansas. This
third school is intended to help
worthy young people with vision do
new things which their parents
or friends may think impossible.
AS I meet the men who are doing
big things today, / find that as a
rule-they did not come from big
cities. Most of them were brought
up on farms. Their college was the
wood box and the corn field. They
were Obliged to fight severe heat
in summer and cold in winter. They
thought that life consisted of taking
risks with horses, cattle, and
storms. Steam heat, air condition
ing, and flOssy colleges may make
good investors. but these modern
luxuTies do not teach men to take
risks. A greater willingness to risk
is the nerd of America today.
One More Thought
Young people who are born
without luxury or without money
and who are struggling for an edu-
cation should remember this: You
have as much time as anyone in the
world. No President. Prime Minis

reader will realize that time is
worth more than money. My appeal

BOTH PARTIES ARE RUNNING
SCARED"

CAS- Maine goes, so goes the nation is
one OF those catchy sayings that seem to have
taken on Immortality The trouble is that
many Maine election hasn't shown much
Of anything that could be called definite and
that was true of the recent one. In the two
most publicized contests, popular Republi-
can Senator won, and Republican Governor
who had alienated many members of his own
party was beaten From this as was to be
expected, both Republican and Democrat
spOkesmen claim to have found hope and
solace. A more objective view was expressed
by the Portland OregOnian when it said
Neither party can reasonably say the Maine
election indicates victory in November. The
results do show, however, that Republican
candidates elsewhere had better run scared"
The run scared" theme was emphasized
by Vice President Nixon in a very frank
talk. What it means is that Over-cOnfidence
must be OutlaWed, and that the most intense
possible campaign be conducted for every
seat in House and Senate. 1t means also that
every effort must be given to getting out the
vOte-often, in these Off-year elections. dis
gracefully small proportion of qualified VOt-
ers actually goes to the polls. And running
scared" is not confined to the Republicans.
Democratic strategiSts favor it Just as
strongly. For the truth is that neither party
is honestly certain of controlling the next
Congress.
AT the moment, the House looks like a
tOSS-up. Forecasts are made all the more
difficult because of the fact that in MANY
instances local issues Overshadow national
issues In electing Representatives.
The Senate race is getting maximum at
tentiOn. u. S. News & World Report recently
offered review of the prospects, based on
the best data and opinion available now.
1t amounts to this: There are 80 Republi-
cans and 26 Democratic hOldOvers who will
be back next session (Senator Morse, the
One-man Independent Party, is included
among the Democrats for the purpose of this
summary. Of the contested seats, It looks
as if seven Republicans and II Democrats
are certain to win. 1t looks also as if three
members Of each party probably will win.
80 the total, thus far, comes to 43 Republi-
cans and Al Democrats. That leaves 13 close
contested seats, and the Democrats must win
eight OF these and the Republicans only five
to achieve control. Thus, the COP is given
very slight edge. The figures certainly show
why the running scared" idea is current
in both parties.
The President isn't running this time.
but it is obvious that his standing with the
electorate is a very vital factor. According
to Gallup Poll, Mr.. Eisenhower was ap-
