Acreage Reserve
Ssl-Up Totals
State

More than SIS million may
be earned by Montana wheat
growers participating in the 1856
Soil Bank Acreage Reserve by
carrying out terms of the agree
ments they have signed, Leo S.
Kolstad, State ASC administra-
tive officer, has announced.
July II was the final date
for signing an agreement or
cancelling a previously signed
agreement - to participate in
this years program, Kolstad ex-
planned. Any wheat grower
whose wheat acreage is reduced
below the farms wheat acreage
allotment was eligible to p%artici-
pate in the program. Payments
will be based on a minimum rate
of 800 an acre for underseeding,
or on the acreage reduction null
tiplied by the normal or apprais-
ed yield for this acreage multi
piled by a payment rate which
is 500 of the county wheat
price support rate.
On the basis of virtually COM
plete reports, 3,271 operators
representing every n of Mon
tana's Sc counties signed
agreements. Approximately 1885,
SAB acres have been removed
from production of wheat this
year and placed in the Reserve.
Payments totaling S~1,574,874 may
be earned on this acreage.
To earn these payments, oper-
ators must have underseeded
their 1856 allotments in antici-
patton of the Reserve program
or have plowed, disked, clipped
or moved the reserved acres to
insure that no wheat crop will
be produced. In addition, no
crsp may be harvested from the
acres during this calendar year
and the acreage may not be graz
ed between June % and Deem
Der 81, 1856, unless the county
is designated a disaster area for
purposes of permitting grazing
of banked" acres.
Producers who have signed
agreements are warned that the
Reserve agreements constitute
contracts with the Secretary of
Agriculture and that failure TO
comply with all terms of the
agreement would make the viola
tor subject to penalties

$456,340 Advanced
To Local Farmers
Through FILA

Farmers in Richland county
obtained loans totaling $456,34C
through the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration during the year end
ing June 80, the agency's county
supervisor said this week.
Repayments on loans outstand-
ing during the year totaled
1882, 046.8O.
The agency has advanced cred
it to buy feed, seed, fertilizer,
equipment, livestock, and other
farm operating items needed to
place farms on an efficient OPP
Grating basis, and to buy and
improve family-type farms.
The local Farmers Home Adj
ministration committee must ap-
prove each loan application be-
fore funds can be advanced. The
committee determines all loan
applicants eligibility and certi-
flies the value of farms to be
purchased or improved II those
actions are involved. 1t also
makes recommendations on loan
approvals and servicing actions.
Applicants are approved as
eligible only If other lenders cam
not adequately supply their cred

are favorable for their being
able to improve their farming

Families are expected to re-

Vets Mail Bag
Veterans Should Check
Insurance Beneficiarics

All persons In active military
service or recently discharged
who have CT insuranhe under in
service waiver of premiums
should make sure the Veterans
] Administration has an accurate
record of their insurance bene-
ficiaries.
This advice applies also to
those veterans who have married
or have been divorced since ap-
plying for the insurance, VA
spokesman said.
VA reports that some service
personnel who have CT insurance
under the ~in-service premium
waiver are under the mistaken
impression that they have Ser
vicemen's Indemnity coverage in
stead of insurance.
Under the law providing for
the indemnity, beneficiaries r
limited by law to wife; child or
children; mother, father and
brother, sister. No designation is
required if the serviceman de-
sires payment in that order.
CT insurance, on the other
hand, permits a wider range Of
beneficiaries, with no particular
order of payment stipulated by
law.
VA said the experience of
many servicemen indicates that
all persons still in service or
recently discharged who have a
CT insurance policy under in
service premium waiver should
check their beneficiary designa-
ton to make sure VA has the
proper listing, especially if they
were married or divorced after
applying for the insurance.
VA explained that when a
change of beneficiary is sub
mitted to VA, the policyholder is
mailed a copy of the VA action
for his record. If the policyhold-
er has no such VA record in his
files and does not remember re~
ceiving one, it is likely that no
change was recorded by VA.
VA cautioned that a benefici-
airy designation on Defense De-
partment Form ID 80 is NOT a
change in beneficiary in CT in
surance. 1t is merely a benefici-
airy designation for the various
gratuitious benefits and, as such,
cannot be applied to CT insurance.
If a VA form for changing ben
eficiaries is not readily obtain
able at a military post or naval
installation, it may be obtained
by writing or calling at any VA
office. $50
Question of the Week:
@. / am a Korea veteran, Just
getting out of service. / have a
$4,000 insurance policy with a
private company, but no CT
insurance. How much Korean CT
term insurance may / get -
$4,000 or $4,000?
A. You may be eligible for the
maximum of $4,000 of Korean
CT term insurance. Your private
insurance does not reduce the
amount of CT insurance you may
be able to get.

Havana has two beautiful streets,

Avenue Presidente goes inland.
1t is a boulevard and the park
between the lanes is noted for
its foliage sculpture. Trees are
trimmed into shapes of bells,
hearts and all sorts of objects.
Spanish architecture seems to
last forever and many old mag
nificent buildings line the way
along Avenue Presidente +.
Havana's n%ightclubs and casinos
are considered the best in the
world. In fact Havana is known
as "the Paris of the Western
Hemisphere" The three best
clubs in Havana are the Tropi-
cana, the Montmatre and the
Sans Souci. All 3 of them speci-
alize in production numbers. The
Montmatre reminded me of a
movie called Moulin Rouge.

When You Retire
TEACHER RETIRES TO
NEW CAREE IN


Here's how a 66-year-old In
diana schoolteacher retired" into
a profitable career IS a photog-
rapher.
In a Hoosier town of $500 per-
sons a blue and white sign hang
ing from an attractive cottage
announces: Sarah Hites, Pho
tographer." One might assume
that Mrs. Hites had been a pho
tographer for many years. Actu-
ally she became one just three
years ago. after retiring as a
grammar school teacher. What's
more, this attractive widow now
makes nearly as much money
from photography as she receives
from her teachers pension.
"When / started / knew next
to nothing about taking pictures"
admits Mrs. Hites. IL knew how
to use an ordinary box camera,
and I'd watched a friend develop
film in a darkroom. But ! didn't
dream of becoming a commercial
photographer until / saw a news
paper ad about a photographer
in Indianapolis who vas offer
ing a good, used set of studio
equipment for sale"
I'D been looking for a stimu-
lating retirement hobby" Mrs.
Hites recalls. There was cur
rently no photographer within
20 miles of my town. So l decid-
ed to give the picture business
a try"
Pleasant, persuasive Mrs. Hites
went to Indianapolis. There she
talked the photographer into sell
ling her the equipment for con-
siderably less than he wanted.
She also talked him into letting
her work with him in his studio
for a week.
1t was quite a week. Mrs. Hites
strongly believes that you learn
by doing. Soon she was talking
with customers and trying her
hand at setting lights, adjusting
cameras, developing film, and
even ~retouching negatives. She
didn't become an expert over
night, but she learned enough in
a week to feel confident she'd
soon be able to take good photo
graphs.
Back home, Mrs. Hites convert
ed her living room into a studio
and installed the photo equip
ment. Then she began practicing
what she had learned - using
some close friends as subjects.
Within three months of her de-
cision to become a photographer
she felt she was ready to open
her studio.
Mrs. Hites had enough bust
sense to know that you
won't go far if you sit back and
wait for customers. Her first
step was to prepare an ad de-
scribing a special Introductory
offer. She mailed the ad to ev-
eryone listed in the local tele-
phone book. She was swamped
the first month by 106 customers,
and word quickly got around that
Mrs. Hites knew her stuff as a
photographer.
Whenever there's a slack per-
iod in her busy day, Mrs. Hites
contacts folks who might be in
the market for photographs. She
telephones parents of newborn
babes and persons who have
been promoted or are celebrating
anniversaries. She also takes an
nual group pictures, at special
rates, for schools and churches.
81 honestly feel I'm doing peo-
pie a favor when I urge them to
their pictures TAKEN" de-
clares Mrs. Hites with emphasis.
IT'S a real loss to a person, and
especially to- his family, when
