the city and is in surprisingly good
condition. All of the gates are
still intact. l felt as though
vas driving back more than 1000
years when we drove through
these gates in our goth century
American made Jeep.
There were many historical
places to visit including the
church and a Roman amphi-
theatre. These were the most in
teresting to me. You could still
see some of the paintings of
Christ on the walls of the church
and parts of mosaic, which is a
form of picture making using
small colored stones in cement.
On the outside a minaret can be
seen because during the time of
the Ottoman Empire, the church
was converted to a mosque. The
original name was Saint Sophia.
/ had a rather strange feeling
when / saw the bones of some
of the. first Christians piled I'M
derneath the Roman Amphithea-
tire. In this huge place construct
ed in 112 A. d. the Romans held
gladiator battles and prosecuted
Christians. The main arena of the
amphitheatre was largely de-
stroyed but two entrances were
well preserved. We could see
where the lions and prisoners
were kept and by crawling I'M
derneath the ground surface thru
one of the entrances, we saw
the bones and other remains of
the people and animals who had
died there.
1t was a thrilling experience
indeed to see these symbols of
early Christianity's fight for sur
vival in one of the Biblical cities.
l was somewhat surprised to find
that our guide on the trip knew
much about Christianity. He
was a fine person and reminded
me a lot of some of my college
professors.
Goodbye for now and best

Getting back to the farm issues,
Congressman Scherer of Ohio &C.
cused Kefauver of being a man

that the Eisenhower Administra-

Reading from a heavily docu-

lined the drop of farm prices,
showing that during the last %
months of Truman's Democratic
Administration, farm prices drop
ped from 1872 of parity to 94%
of parity or 10 points.
During these 312 years of Re-
publican Administration, farm pri-
ces have declined only 9 points
so the truth, Senator Kefau-
yer, is that the Democrats not
only started the decline but that
two-thirds of the total drop took
place under Them" Scherer said.

The squad of two United States
Senators, Frank A. Barrett, Wy

don H. Scherer, Ohio, appeared
on a radio forum at the Lalonde
hotel before a crowd gather
ed from surrounding areas to hear
them refute the Tennessean's mis-
representations of fact about the
Eisenhower Administration made
the day. before.
The Truth Squad took up the
major charges which Kefauver
had made and proceeded to detail
with documented facts the errors
of his statements.
Senator Barrett took Kefauver
to task for his charges that "it
has been the policy of the Essen
hover Administration to deliber-
ately or otherwise deflate farm
prices. The Wyoming Senator
pointed out that on the same night
Kefauver made his charge, the
President in a speech at Boone,
Iowa, said, "By golly, we're doing
all we can" for the farmers.
Senator Barrett went on to show

Farmers Sign
For Wheat
Acreage Reserve

Through September Is severa.
wheat farmers in Richland county
had signed 1857 winter wheat
Acreage Reserve agreements UNI
der the Soil Bank, Arthur An
derson, chairman of the Rich
land County Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation office,
announced today.
The chairman pointed out that
this sign up had occurred in the
seven days since the program had
been available in the county,
Deadline for signing 1857 winter
wheat Acreage Reserve agree
ments has been extended from
September 81 to October S.
Chairman Anderson emphasized
the date to avoid disappointing
farmers who might arrive at
the depot after the train has left"
The winter wheat grower who
fails to sign an agreement on or
before October 5 will not have
another chance to participate in
the wheat Acreage Reserve pro-
gram for 1857. Producers who
grow only spring wheat will have
an opportunity to sign up for the
Acreage Reserve program before
planting time next spring.
Under the 1857 winter wheat
Acreage Reserve program, all
farmers with wheat allotments
r eligible to sign agreements
with the County ASC committee
that they will harvest less than
their farm allotment of wheat in
1857. In return, they will receive
payments based on the normal
per acre yield of wheat on the
land placed in the Acreage Re-
serve multiplied by the Acreage
Reserve unit price for wheat
which is SIPS per bushel in
Richland county. Thus, if you
placed 10 acres of wheat land
in the 1857 Acreage Reserve pro-
gram and your normal yield per
acre was 1871 bushels at $1.15
per bushel, a total of $1972. 86,
Chairman Anderson explained.
Chairman Anderson explained
that all available means have
been used to get the essential
points of the program to farm
ers. A meeting was held in the
Court Room September 10, 1856
at 200 and a attended by var
ious groups of people in the coun-
ty including CommunitysC ommit-
teemen from the different COM
munities of the county. Since
then people at the county ASC
at Sidney have been busy
answering detailed questions at
tending the signing of agreements.

Summary

ENROUTE FROM
THE WEST

Here there is one impression
one cannot shake - That the
Eisenhower = Nixon combine is
"in".
Checking notes on "a interviews
in four western states, it is learn
ed that the folks in these parts
like Ike so intently only a major
setback in his health between
now and the election could de-
feat him.
And Vice President Richard M
Nixon is considered second only
to President Eisenhower in quail
if%ications for the presidency.
Only one of the "a persons
came out forthrightly for Adlai
Stevenson. That was James West,
a member of an electrical union,
who makes his home in Missoula,
Mont.
He said: Mrs. Stevenson
knows what he's talking about
when he says Eisenhower and
that Washington bunch are look
ing out only for the rich man."
Comments from some of the
other % went like this:
Slim Riggs, a lifelong regis
tered Democrat, who runs a bus
mess in the tiny community of
Scotty's Junction, New:
"As far as I'm concerned, like
brought our boys back from be-
ing targets in Korea that's
all they yer out there, targets
and that's enough for me.
Nixon? Some people in Cali
fornia are against him, but that's
because his father had some
success after Dick got into Of
flee, and they're put out about
that. And they keep talking about
a slush fund. Name me one
politician that doesn't have a
Slush fund 49,"
Here are the simple views of
a s~heepherder, whose only real
contact with civilization for
months at a time is his portable
radio. Sheepherder Kermit Dom
gard, of Salina, Utah, said:
"All | know about Stevenson is
his talks on the radio. He's too
much of a smart-aleck. When /
hear President Eisenhower give
a speech, l can understand him"
Scotch" Rawlings, barber of
Utah: Stevenson is al
ways trying to run Ike down. If
ne would come out with some
good suggestions of his own in
stead of bounding Ike on how
much the President plays golf, it
be different. Anybody
that a man with a lot of
responsibilities has to have plen-
y of relaxation"
A service station attendant in
Baker, Calf, said:
I'm getting sick and tired of
Ill this political harranguing in
he papers and on the air.
when President Eisenhower
avs something, it's for ALL the
not just the Republicans.
stevenson is getting to be just
ike Harry Truman - every
hing the Republicans do is
wrong, and everything the Dem
'crats do is right. I'm getting to
he point I don't believe anything &,
