To Help Small Farmers

President Eisenhower's philosophy
that Government should try to do for the
people what they cannot so easily do for
themselves is reflected in his support of
program to aid low-income and part
time farmers. For in sense these are the
underprivileged people of the land whose
individual holdings and resources are in
adequate for the most efficient and most
economic farming, but who might benefit
substantially from technical assistance,
from financial aid in certain circumstances
and from other cooperative efforts. The
program containing these and other rec
concentrations was submitted to the Pres
ident by Secretary of Agriculture Benson
after more than a year of study of the
overall problem.
Although this is unquestionably a
long-term program, it has a particular
timeliness now as Secretary Benson tours
the drought-stricken farming areas of five
Western States. While natural forces are
primarily responsible for the critical sit
uation in those areas, agricultural scien-
lists have pointed out that improved farm
Ing techniques might prevent further
disastrous soil erosion in such regions
The President emphasized the future
aspect" of the program in urging particu-
larly that educational work be keyed to
the young people on the farms.
While it is correct, as Democratic
critics have pointed out, that some points
of this program have been part of Agri-
culture Department activities in the past,
there still is room to intensity and expand
them. Mr.. Benson proposes to strengthen
our activity" in these lines and Congress,
without regard to partisanship, should be
sympathetic.

Parents and Schools

The Parents Educational
Research Organization struck
the right chord when it said
in one tenent, 1--WE regard the
teacher to be the agent and
the parent to be the principal"
Educators have come to think
that no one but an educator
should criticize schools or
school policies. This idea must
be changed. They should con-
tinue to propose and advise on
matters of policy. but the final
acceptance should be in the
hands of the people.

The Arlington movement

interested in this type of pro-
posal for their schools. We are

thing.

can do more toward regulating prices than any other prop which
can be devised.
Nebraska farmers already know the value of highyield by
brd corn. They have seen the use of soybeans grow until it
has developed into one of the important crops on every farm.
But with this increase in production must also be teamed an
equal increase in use if demand is to keep up with the supply.
Europe, once a market for many farm products, is back in pro-
duction again and while farmers there may not produce as much
per acre, or come through with the high quality this country de-
livers, their production still fills many needs which were once
supplied by Americanraised farm products.
So, there must be a swing toward research and the develop

should be a stepup in budgets for research purposes. These funds

the work.
aimed to determine how production costs can be reduced and at
developing new uses for existing products and even entirely new
products which will be in demand.
It's a long range program-onew which cannot be carried out
In a single year. But eventually, unless something interferes
with the work now going on, new uses and new demands will
stabilize farm prices.
There is no assurance that farm profits will return to the high
peak that they reached a few years ago. But men in business
are getting a pinch, too, with increased pressure being brought
by labor, increased taxes and increased competition.
1t now appears that 1856 is going to be a year when both
farmers and owners of businesses are going to have to analyze
costs carefully, pick up a lot Of loose ends and make every move
count for just a little more than it did before.
But regardless of what happens, this country's farm research
program must go on so that new products and new uses may be
developed to bring the demand more nearly in line with the supply
and thereby create an equitable and fair price structure for agri
culture.

In many of these chronic condi-
tons, including arthritis, bursi-
tbs, paraplegia and low back pain,
a new treatment known as cy-
clotherapy is proving beneficial.
Doctors have found that CYCLIC
therapy, a unique form Of cleo
trically generated physical en-
ergy. has scored striking results
in easing spasms and relieving
the pain of patients suffering
from a variety Of ailments that
affect the muscles, and helping
them toward rehabilitation.
The physician also has a vari-

cal agents at his disposal to quiet

Gus forms. has been used since
time immemorial to Iron out the
kinks in painful muscles, and it
is still a valuable means Of
therapy. Many drugs, including
anesthetics, barbiturates, coun-
ter-irritants and the recently de-
veloped "tranquilizing drugs"
have their place in the spasm-
fighting armamentarium.
In some cases. muscle spasm IS
not primarily the result Of dis
ease, tut is related to over-use
of a particular set of muscles. In

called "occupational cramps" or

We humans rely on a complex
array of 500 muscles of various
sizes for the physical power we
have over our environment. Yet,
we commonly become aware Of
this wonderful system Of locomo-
ton only when our muscles
"act up"-when they remind US
through pain or spasm that some
thing has gone wrong.
A spasm is any sudden, invol-
untary contraction Of a muscle.
Twitching. cramps or other types
of muscle spasm may be brought
on by a variety Of causes. Sudden
chilling Of the body after swim
ming may result in severe spasm
of several of the body's muscles.
Sharply diminished circulation of
the blood to any part of the body
brings about snasms in the blood
starved area. Chemical imbalance
is also a common cause Of spasm;
for example, recent research in
dicates that the painful leg
cramps of pregnancy are due to
abnormally low levels of calcium
in the blood of expectant moth
ers. The so-called night cramps
-sleep-disturbing spasms of leg
muscles-are also believed to be
related to calcium metabolism.
Bacterial toxins a send the
body's musculature into violent
contractions: the most notorious
of these is the noison secreted by
the germ of tetanus or lock-jaw.
In addition, many ailments of the
nervous and skeletal systems are
accompanied by muscular spasms.

full of the Omaha Sports, Vaca-
ton and Boat Show" to cooperate
with us in putting on this venture.
We have long been looking for an
ideal spot to present u show

better location than the new City
Auditorium? Our intention at
this show is not only to bestow a.
wards on the leaders in their
fields, but to show the public the
work Of the YMCA and interest
the youth of Omaha in our pro-
gram"
Budde commented, eve are
happy to have the YMCA with us
this year. Our show is all inclus-
i've. Encouraging the people Of
Omaha to participate in the sports
activities represented in the
