Terrible Drought
Stuns YugosIavia
Belgrade, Yugoslavia

Belgrade, Yugoslavia -- A
countrywide drought, worse
than those in 1949 and 1851,
threatened today to deal
Co m m u mist Yugoslavia's
planned economy a disastrous
blow in 1854.
1t already has caused wide
spread hardship and loss of
revenue. It's effect is impor-
tant to American taxpayers,
because they may bear the
chief load of appeals for in
creased relief aid.
In the crucial winter plant
ing and planning months of
October and November, Yu-
goslavia's weather station re-
corded an average rainfall
of only 7.S inches.
This compared with an
overall average of 81 inches
for the two-month period, and
with a total Of II inches in
1852, which helped produce
bumper crops during that
year.
Untold damage has been
done to the winter wheat
crop.
Mother Nature Fickle
Agricultural experts, both
foreign and domestic, figure
the loss at a minimum of 4C
per cent Of the anticipated
harvest.
In areas where the soil was
we'll prepared, the top sol
has turned to a dusty powde,
under the unusually late hot
sun. Where it was not, it has
become sun-baked. In neither
case will the seeds sprout.
On the basis of opinions
from the agricultural experts
the chief hope of salvaging
portion of the crop rests or
the possibility of a warm rair
soon plus a good thirst
quenching blanket of snow
before spring.
Peasants Eye Surplus

Rox Spirits To Select
Officers For New Year


year 1854 will in reality be
an anniversary year. The
sixtieth for the Croatian Fra
ternal Union, the twenty
fifth for the Spirits Lodge
143, and also the twenty-fifth
for the English Section of the
Zajednicar.
In our own special way it
behooves us CFU Roxians to
fittingly commemorate the
founding of our Lodge upon
a quarter century of exist
ence and thus boost the ma
tional Society of which we are
a chapter.
Without a doubt the exist
ence of Lodge 143 has
brought on a circle of friends
and acquaintances, locally,
that may have never come to
pass otherwise. We are the
richer, socially, if in no other
way because such a fraternal
group exists in McKees
!Rocks. Even the smallest ben
efactor or a Lodge member
who has yet to claim his dues
is better off that we have had
such a Lodge group than had
we not.
In the intervening months
that will lead to the obser-
vance date that many of us
had in mind, besides the un-
dersigned, we hope to give
due publicity to the idea.
Meanwhile thought must be
given to laying the ground
work for also perpetuating
this association into the fu-
ture. Our elders back in 1929
in Lodge 125 and even
through the lean thirties well
coined and heartily supported
the idea of a young peoples
Lodge.
They saw in the "Spirits"
Lodge a medium by which
their Offspring would be bet
ter able to acquaint them
selves. This same thought
should revail among the
Lodge lab elders who have
an offspring to enroll either
lin the Lodge or the local
Nest. h -
Necessary to put all the
best thoughts into action and
in a form Of palatable remin-
iscing when June, 1854, rolls
around is a duly elected staff
of officers, trustees and other
committees. For this we need
a better turnout than we had
at the proposed annual meet
ing attempted in December
when we had scarcely more
than a quorum.
At that time it was moved
that our annual or yearly
meeting, the term by which
it is known in the Rox, be
held at 500 PM. Thursday,
January 14th, 1854. Cards
will be sent each Esprit"
member and we beseech you
to give it more than passing
attention.
In full respect to those 1858
officers who showed up reg
ularly even though at times
within a bare quorum, we
want to give them credit by
at least enumerating them
here.
They were Steve Horvat,
vice-president and sports di-
rector; Mrs. Catherine E..
Peru, financial secretary; Mi
chael Harsh, treasurer; and
Vera Krulac. They're human
and willing to carry on, but
a good turnout would be most
appreciative now and then.

Of patrons as comfortable?
H-mmm! Stratford is insure
on this score.
That is another of the di-
lemmas the now permanent
year-round planning staff will
examine in it's conscience be-
fore the third season.
Planning Director Patterson
and his associates are not the
kind to brush off this ques-
ton. Nor the related one of
the implications of extending
the festival season. Last year,
the scheduled six-weeks' was
extended to seven; this year,
the planned eight to nine. Are
these compromises in the di-
rection of financial success?
An Answer Is Sought
Stratford does not know. It
does know it should, however,
which puts it into an unique
relationship with success that
would astound the entire rest
of the world of the drama.
There is one problem of that
world, by the way, which Strait
ford happily escapes. This
might be called the "critic
problem" This year these de-
scended upon Stratfoyd from
all corners of the globe, many
of them at the personal invita-
ton Of Mr.. Baker, who owns
the canary colored station
wagon.
They all liked the Stratford
idea and the aesthetic princi-
pie underlying its free-f1owing,
eloquent productions. They diff
fered widely in their evalua-
tions Of the specific plays, in
GLIDING 1.-THE Tanning Of the
Shrew," which was the least
popular with critics, the most
pleasing to audiences in its ex-
IRENE slapstick.
Stratford read every critical
word with the fascination of
strangers to this sort of writ
ing. And, from the extremely
safe position of a drama pro-
duction group whose success
exists comfortably beyond the
mercy, or lack of it, in critics.
Stratford likes the critics,
even the querulous ones, and
the critics return the compli-
ment.
How could the latter at least
do otherwise?

haunt-the festive Stratford-
ians were conscious of a flu
ture with problems.
The Success Dilemma
Principal of these is what to
do about success. Being hui
man and honest, they like it.
They like the financial security
that is one of its most con-
spicuous symbols. But money
raises questions. For one ques-
ton, how it should be divided
between the unselfish, ideal
istic project and the partici-
pants in the project who may
be more selfish and whose
idealism is vulnerable.
Also. there is the dilemma
of how to keep the accent on
artistic success when it can
result in such material re-
wards.
Stratford pays its stars, last
year Mr.. Guinness, this year
Mr.. Mason, a fiat $4,000 for
the entire festival. This is
much less than either could
make at his regular. less
exalted work. It is noble of
actors to make this sacrifice
when it is an imperative of an
idealistic and impoverished
project. Otherwise?
Incidentally, it is a dramatic
facet of the Stratford Festival
that so far neither the star,
himself, nor the community
has been star-conscious. Lon
don's Actor Guinness last
year was as completely alb
sorbed into the community's
human coloration as a Strait
ford garden absorbs a drop of
rain. It was pretty much the
same this season with Holly
woods Mr.. Mason save that
he drove a red convertible in
stead of using a bicycle Us did
his predecessor in Shakespeare.
A Modest Stor
Yet, to the credit Of his pro-
fessional modesty, Mason set
tied into his two starring roles,
Oedipus and Angelo in Meas
ure for Measure" with the
humility of an actor who knew
he had many equals in the
Stratford company. The in
tegrity Of the repertory idea
passes few more pleasing tests
than this.

ticated now, asks itself: Will

Floors
Satisfactory floors are concrete on
gravel fill, galvanized sheet steel on
earth or gravel fill or tongue and
grove lumber.
Concrete floors should be at least 6
inches above the surface Of the ground

of gravel. A moisture barrier built in
to the concrete will help prevent spoil

THE PURPOSE OF a grain storage
building is to protect the grain from
weather, rodents, birds, insects and
Objectionable odors 1t should give pro-
lection against loss of quantity and
quality. The storage building should be
safe and convenient when moving grain
into or out of storage, when inspect
ing the grain and when servicing the
grain or storage. Servicing may include
such operations as fumigating, drying,
aerating or cooling.
The grain storage structure should
be located in or near the farmStead,
and on site that is well drained, free
from surface water and not subject to
flooding.
To reduce fire hazard, the structure
should be at least so feet Cat right an
giles to prevailing Winds from other
buildings and from stacks of hay or
straw. Distances up to 100 feet provide
better protection from fire, and should
be used where possible.
Protection from Weather
All grain storage structures should
be weathertight. Rain or snow enter
ing through walls and the roof can
cause heavy damage to stored grain.
All door and hatch openings should
close tightly and special attention
should be given to cracks and knotholes
in wood construction and to open bolt
holes and loose bolts in metal construc-
ton. Metal-backed, black neoprene
washers should be used under all bolt
heads in metal bins. Lead washers also
may be used, but are not quite as sat-
isfactory.
A wide variety of materials can be

This table is based on the ordinary
commercial sizes of lumber. If the studs
are fulI-size rather than nominal, the
depth of grain can be increased one
third. If large knots occur in any of the
studs or if the lumber is soft and light
weight, ties should be used across the
bin. Studs should be well fastened TO
the floor system.
Depth of oats may be u more and
or barley * more than above.

Building Safe Grain Storage
By E. B. WILSON, Extension Agricultural Emginee,

WILSON, Extension Agricultural
used to construct grain storage. These
include steel, lumber, plywood, water
proof wallboard, aSphaltic roofing and
siding, aluminium, concrete and build
ing tile. Each material, however, must
be used with proper regard for its
ability to withstand stress and keep
out moisture While moisture is more
likely to condenSe on the underSide
of a metal roof than on the underSide
of a wood roof, the possibilities OF
damage to the grain are no greater.
Damage to dry grain from moisture
entering the bin is almost always due
to leaks, not condensation.
Structural Requirements
Grain storage structures must he
tighter and stronger than most other
farm buildings in order to withstand
the grain pressure against the walls
and supports and the weight on the
floor and foundation. Failures from
poor construction result in costly re-
pairs and loss of grain.
To prevent damage from wind, the
foundation, floor, walls and roof must
be securely tied together. Bins of light
materials particularly need to be
anchored since they will stand empty
part of the time.
Foundations
Permanent foundations should be
built of masonry, preferably poured
concrete. Semipermanent foundations
may be built of concrete blocks, which
are used extensively for small and
medium-sized bins.
A foundation should have footings
large enough to prevent the building
from being damaged by uneven settle
ment. One square foot of bearing sur
of grain is satisfactory on most soils.
The foundation should rest on firm, UNI
disturbed soil, and be deep enough to
prevent undermining by erosion, ro-
dents, or livestock.
The average frost depth in Montana
is about feet, but for ordinary farm
structures it is not economical to so
below Is inches for foundations. A
foundation IS inches deep can be made
satisfactory by tieing the top and bot
tom with steel reinforcing rods. Freez-
ing and thawing will then tend to
move the whole wall as a unit and not
cause unequal settling and cracking OF
the foundation.
At least two pieces of %-inch steel
reinforcing rods near the bottom and
two near the top are necessary. These
should be inches above the bottom
surface and inches below the tor
surface. (See Fig. u
The concrete foundation should be al
least 8 inches thick at the top anG
IL to 16 inches thick at the bottom. The

be emphasized that defects, such as
knots, rotted pieces and so forth, are
of more Importance than the size, es-
pecially in the center of the span.
Inspection
A common cause of unsatisfactory
grain storage is inadequate inspection.
An insect infestation or the presence
of damp grain may not be detected
and treated before extensive damage
develops. For satisfactory inspection
there should be at least feet of head
room above the grain.
