experienced personnel to properly train the
annual influx of new recruits. By the time
men begin to be of real value their time is up
and they head for jobs on land
There are numerous advantages to a
career in the Navy. But, if this personnel
problem is to be relieved in any adequate
degree, more of the disadvantages will have
to be removed Some improvements have
already been made and more are on the
way. Congress is beginning to pay more at
tention to the recommendations of naval
officers
There is a growing realization that long
run efficiency and economy require that
work in the navy, as we'll as in the other
armed services, be made as attractive from
income and other StandpOintS as comparable
work in civilian occupations More frequent
visits to the home port will probably also be
part of the new program.
While much remains to be done, life in
the Navy is already much more enjoyable
than even few years ago. Just as one of
many examples that could be cited is the
highly efficient movie film service. Holly
woods top films now go by air first to the
boys on Uncle Sans fighting ships and to
other establishments of the armed services
throughout the world.
Career men in our armed forces take
justifiable pride in the highly important
service they are giving to the national de-
Tense. And there are definite indications
that in the future that solid satisfaction is
going to be accompanied by more adequate
remuneration and other advantages.

EXPERIENCED OBSERVERS of the
cattle market look for better prices for grass
cattle next year. They feel that this will be
the almost inevitable result of conditions
that have developed this season.
Range feed conditions, particularly in the
southwest, have been the poorest in a num-
Der of years. This has resulted in earlier
and heavier marketing of range cattle This
situation has been aggravated by poor pas
ture prospects in middle western winter
wheat areas where feeding on fall planted
winter wheat is ordinarily carried on very
extensively. This is all bringing closer Gull
ing of cow herds and more extensive selling
of calves.
Even in western districts where feed
conditions and supplies have not been so
adversely affected, cattlemen have shown
tendency to reduce the over-stocking on
their ranges and cut back to more normal
herd sizes. Many ranchers increased their

Tax Changes Favor Conservation

gross income can be deducted each year.
Costs exceeding Is per cent of gross can be
carried over to following years.
Most types of conservation practices, in
Guiding bitches, earthen-dams, terraces,
earth-moving, diversion channels, wind
breaks, ETC., are included in this category.
However, permanent structures, like con-
crete dams, are not deductible as operating
costs.

MOST SOIL CONSERVATION costs can
be deducted as operating expenses for fed
eral income tax purposes under proposed
new regulations of the Internal Revenue
Service, In the past, such costs had to be
capitalized and could not be covered until
the land was sold.
Under the proposed new regulations,
which will probably be confirmed soon, such
expenses in amounts up to 25 per cent of

Property taxes account for more than
so per cent of total state and local revenue
in Montana. This is the highest percentage
from property of any of the 10 western
states. Property taxes paid per capita
in this region are as follows: Montana,
$107; California, $97; Wyoming $96; Ore
gon, $87; Colorado, $86; Utah, SIT; Idaho,
SIS; Arizona $40; Washington, $5l; New
Mexico, $35. Most of the other western
states rely more heavily on revenue from
sales taxes and income taxes than does
Montana
Family operated farms comprised about
81 per cent of all farms i'm the United
States in 1854, according to the 1854 Census
of Agriculture. Percentage of farmers who
are full or part owners of the farms they
operate was rs per cent in 1854 an all
time record high.
More than million acres of farm land
are taken over each year in the United
States by expanding cities, industries, roads,
highways, airportS and other non-farm uses.
While it is expected that there will be
extensive participation in the soil banks
acreage" reserve program in the wheat
region, USDA anticipates that the principal
participation in the conservation reserve
will be in eastern diversified farming Sec
lions, the northwestern corn-belt where
oats are involved, and scattered lots of poor
land in other parts of the country that
should be retired from production anyway.
Nuclear bombs could produce an atomic
cloud capable of warming the Arctic air,
causing partial melting of the Polar ice cap,
the chief of the us. Weather Bureau told
meteorological conference recently. zone
group is of the opinion" he said, ''that this
could raise the level of the Atlantic ocean
by 10 to Is feet and put many dock inStalla-
lions under water" 1t might also profoundly
change climate and weather conditions in
the United States and other countries in
northern attitudes The implication of his
discourse is that it might be just as well to
let the Arctic region continue to dish out
the weather without atomic interference.
Man-made disturbances are still quite
puny compared with those developed by
natural forces. A typical tropical hurricane,
for instance, lasts about ten days and lib
crates heat by condensation of water equiva-
lent to about 10 million atom bombs The
amount of energy thus represented would
supply all of the electrical power needed for
the United States for several hundred years

DOCK OQJU STORN0 G10TS ARf
lVIl!. II.||}> F A

1853 ended on stormy note on the Kenai Peninsula with approxima te1y a Foot of snow at the Homer airport and about twice that much reported Up the highway.
 The storm started in earnest on Hed- nesday night with the snow continuing to fall until Friday night wind vi tn gus ts up to 4O miles per hour swept the area Friday afternoon and early evening blocking roads that had been kept open by hard working ARC creW5e
 The aoncr Spit was about the hardest hit area during tho storm4 On dedn es- day the ice broke about 20 of the pill ing on the side and front of the dock dis ab1ing 1t. Fearing that the dock would go out entirely, the hoist and other pieces of equi pnent were removed. Or Thursday the winds seemed to have removed the ice from the Bay and, de- spite hi gh tide, the dock did not suffer further damage.
 During the high wind Friday after noon the 21.9-foot tide, WIS literally push d over the opit and blocks of ice and large logs blocked the road. At least two buildings on the Spit were floa ted off their foundati ons ard power poles floated across the road.
 Two trucks belonging to the Terminal Oil 5a1es were caught out on the Spit by tho blocked roads and were rescued by the ARC V-plow. The oil trucks were driven by Pat Miller and Tom Crosbio. Bob Kranic and Carl 6holin Were in the V-plow.
 As of Sunday thu dock was still standing but the bull rail Was listing to the soaWard.

CHORUS

Over one hundred local residents turned out Thursday night to enjoy the Community Chorus Chris tnas Cantata and other spec nal numbers on tne program.
 The program began with the junior choir and high school choir and chorus singing nGod Rest Ye merry Gentlemen. This was followed by number of se1e- ctions by the kilcher family which in- cluded numbers on iernan flutes and carols in English ard German. 4 read- ing HThe Littlest Angel" hy Theo Ed- wards, followed.
 The cantata, "Chi1de Jesus" vas composed by Joseph V. Clokey and hazel Jean kirk and told the story of the birth of Jesus in song.
 The chorus is composed of twenty four singers under the dlrection. Qf Aarlon koeppe1 and with Violet Nythe, the accompanist.
 For the first time the Chorus was wearing their new robes Waicn added to the occasi on.

LIBRAR Y

The Homer high school library boasts number of new books this year conpar- cd to last year, according to Richard Tyler, faculty advtsers The new books have been welcomed by students with real enthusiasm, he reports, if one is to judge by the number of books checked out each day. #
 There are now over a thousand books on the shelves with more arriving daily The library has also receiv od a new and useful magazine rack constructed by Ivan Anodel.
 Students helping out in the library are: Pauline williams, Joann Willard, Jeanne Smith, Marily A1n, Linda Wick ersham and Willie fly,m. These stu- dents donate their time to the hhrarye

MEN DROWN

Hope was abandoned last week for the four men who apparently were drowned when the motorized barge The Seahorse went down in the Point Gore rip tides December l8. #.
 Missing are Captain hou Peters of, Kodiak, Engineer Arlo -Kee of Seattle and a man from Seward and one from Afognak.
 The Seahorse with Capt. Peters had visited aoner and other Alaskan ports known in Honer. At the time of the disaster the 5cahorse was under tow by the tug PaWtucket going from Kodiak to cordova. The PaWtucket captain, Harold Maxwell, brother of Lloyd Maxwell of Homer, said that thG barge had been in \ storm of gale proportions for almost 36 hours at the time she went down in the heavy seas.

DELEGATE

4 small crowd, due to the weather, was on hand Thursday evening to meet vi tn Cons stitutiona1 Conventi on Yeh gate Yule Ai1cher.
 Ki1cher explained to those present the makeup of the convention ard the process that determined the way the op- eration would be run off. He stated that he felt the convention went into coumi ttee sessions too early. The men- bers should have held floor 5e5si ons far two or three weeks, he said, before going into the committee essions.
