OPEN LETTER TO CITIZENS OF ST. cRoIx

There are many unanswered needs in our world and our
community. There are some that are so extensive and run 50
deep that nothing but massive longterm action will answer
them. But there are others which require only a concern and
a little organized energy to meet. The Public and School Ii
brary situation is one of the latter. Since this week is Nation
al Book Week, / think the following facts should be publiciz-
ed.
First, the Christiansted Public Library, which serves the
town and country district including both adults and school
children, has had no money for renewal and expansion for
the last year and a hall. All money has come from donations.
This is true Of the FrederikstedL Library.
Second, The Christiansted School Library, which serves
over twelve hundred students Of both the Elementary and
High School level has no magazines, very few childrens
books on the elementary level and is sorely lacking in refer
ence material which is Of crucial Importance. in High School
research work
This would be important if books were only a nice extra
in life likeNicing on a cake but in the educating of our chill
dren-the right books are Of primary importance.
Books are not just paper and ink, they are windows on
the world, tools to work with, food for the soul. If the inter-
ior life Of our children is neglected or sparsely fed then the
world they make for themselves, and us, to live in will reflect
the neglect and sparseness.
Speaking as a private citizen, but one concerned with
the proper care and feeding of young minds, I am wonder
ingswhat you and I can do,

funds

1ndexed Bulls Sire
Fast-Caining Calves
By EUGENE SWANK

BELIEVE THE rancher who is uc.
ing indexed bulls is somewhat of a
precursor in the beef cattle business
believe he is ahead of general trend
in beef production, but not far ahead.
The main parade is just behind him.
AS most readers know, an indexed
bull is one that has been put in a feed
lot and carefully checked on his feed
consumption, rate-of-gain and total
gain. If this high-calorie diet causes
the bull to put on the pounds faster
than his brethren he has a good chance
of avoiding the short route to the pack:
ing plant for some time. If he is at
the head of his class pound-wise he
has good chance of spending some
of his life out in the pasture and be-
coming daddy to many little calves.
Experiments have pretty well proved
that when these little calves get TO
the feedlot and get the same high
calOried diet, they will do just as daddy
did-they will put on the pounds faster.
too.
The weaving weights of our calves is
higher since we have been using in
dexed bulls. But the big advantage in
having cattle from these indexed bulls
goes to the man who has them in the
feedlot. We are not in the feeding bust
ness. In talking to number of Iowa
feeder buyers I find them interested in
calves from indexed bulls but not
enough to pay premium for them.
They still think they can predict how
well group of calves will put on
weight in the feedlot by looking at
them.

change the position they were grow
ing in before.
In 1885 we reset all of the trees again
and this time they we're planted in the
places they were to remain in. We
dug the holes first and made them
quite bit larger than the roots would
reach. We worked up the soil and
mixed it with well-rotted manure. AS
we filled in the dirt we watered them
good. We dug up each tree with as
much dirt as would stay on the roots
so as not to disturb the roots too much,
and we only lost one tree out of the
100 trees. After each moving they would
really get off to a good start. 1t seemed
that moving them did them good.
We have irrigation here and we try
to keep the ground moist at all times.
In the fall we irrigate late as possible
so they go into the winter with plenty
of moisture.
They are growing on the east, west
and north side of the house, and on
the south side along Canyon Creek
we have row of poplar trees. We
never burn any leaves, they are all
put around the evergreens every year.
I get thrill out of standing in the
trees when the wind is blowing and
just listening. They are a very effec-
tive wind-break, besides being orna-
mental. The trees are from 20 to 80
feet tall and very we'll pushed out.
Some of the trees were planted too
close, so we gave some to the neigh
bors in order that those that were
left would develop better. AT the time
they were moved we used hydraulic
loader and truck but they all grew.
Evergreers make farmstead beau
tltul the year around and especially in
the winter time. When everything else
is dried up they are nice and green.
So that is where we derived the name
for our farm. 1t really is Evergreen
the year around.

MY FATHER actually started our
shelterbelt planting about four years
before he died. I believe it was the
spring of 1880 that we set the trees
out in rows, feet apart each way,
just like check-rowed corn.

trees there were 100 in the shipment

the middle of Dads flower garden in

The ground was well fortified and
well drained. We don't have high

Long Ago. Man
Began Celebrating
New Yeur

The Japanese have always used
holly in decorating for the New
Year celebration. It is an old
belief that 1.-The prick of the
thorns on the leaves would scare
away devils" The emperor's first
bath, Hatsumizy. taken early New
Year morning, was called a "reli-
gious rite of cleansing and purih-
cation performed by the ruler to
bring peace and prosperity to
Japan and his people,"
Long before history was re-
corded, the Persians discovered
sugar cane and made sweetmeats
an important part of their New
Year celebration. These pagan
Persians also made human sacri-
fees on the eve of the New Year In
the belief that their barren fields
would be fortified by the gods.
1t was custom in ancient China
to make visits shortly after the
New Year had begun. Hilarity
reigned in old India and Babylon,
h celebration of the New
Year was a wild affair.

New Year Celebration
Dates to Ancient Times

The history of the celebration
of New Years day goes far back
into antiquity and it is only in
relatively recent times that the
holiday has been observed on
January /.
The ancient Persians and Egyp-
tians celebrated New Years on
September %, the autumnal equi-
nox. while the Greeks did so at the
winter solstice, December 81. The
vernal equinox. March %, marked
the beginning of the year for the
Jews.
New Years day has always been
celebrated in the United States and
from Colonial times to the present
it has been a day of happiness and
hospitality.
The Sidney herald., 1956-12-27

New Years day is primarily a
festive occasion, but recorded IN
the pages of history are many i'm
portant events which have taken
place on the first day of various
years
On January /. 1915. the FRS
Union flag of Is Stripes was unfIrled
by George Washington. On Jan
uary l, 1858. the Emancipation Of
Negro slaves became effective by
proclamation of President Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Here are some other events
which occurred on New Years
day:
1735-Paul Revere was born.
1792-Kentucky admitted to the
Union.
1801-Union of Ireland with Brit
ain.
1915 - General Jackson repealed
British when they attacked New
Orleans.
1825-Great Britain acknowl-
edged independence of South Amer
lean republics.
1907-U.S. pure food law put into
effect.
1913-Parcel post system inau-
gurated.
1919-New Years day declared
a legal holiday throughout the
country except in Massachusetts
and Washington, DC.

Traditions Surround
New Years Day

OF the many legends and tradi-
tons which have grown around the
significance of the New Year, the
one that is perhaps most popular
suggests that whatever you do on
the first day of the year will be
an indication of what will happen
in the months to follow.
AS an example, to open a bank
account at New Years was con-
sidered lucky in old England.
The early Scots believed that 1t
was possible to foretell the events
of a coming year by turning to the
Bible on New Years Day.
1t was long a custom to place the
sacred book upon a table and open
it at random. placing one finger
upon the printed page. The entire
chapter was then read carefully.
with the belief that the message
it carried described in some way
the happiness or misery in store
for the person adhering to the
practice.

regard as their community's big.
gest local problem?
This is the way MAN ON THE
STREET hears it:
The biggest local problem in
sofar as the average ma on the
street is concerned is schools. The
need for new schools, the reno
waiting of older schools, the lack
of teachers, and the relief OF
o~vercrowded schools are today'S
number one local problem in
many communities.
Next comes parking. The need
to find a place to park; the high
cost of parking; the loss of time
that many people experience in
looking for a place to park make
parking the problem second only
in Importance to schools in just
about every urgan community.
Two problems that come next,
particularly in urban commune
ties, are high real estate taxes
and housing.
In many communities, real eS-
tate taxes have doubled or nearly
doubled over the past ten years.
And many people, particularly
older retired citizens, and those
on fixed incomes are feeling the
pinch of these high real estate
taxes.
Housing is also a problem in
many urban places = particularly
in cities with populations CT l00,-
900 or more, as we'll as among
towns and cities with populations
of between $4,000 and 100000.
OF lesser Importance to people
MAN ON THE STREET has talk
ed to in recent weeks are SUCH
things as sewers (the lack Of
them in rural areas), parks and
Fairgrounds, traffic coordination.
SUM clearance, street repairs,
garbage disposal, and gambling.
In other words, the four biggest
local problems to many people
are the following: schools, park
in, high real estate taxes, and
housing.
Big city people - those living
IN communities with 100000 or
more people - are specifically
concerned with housing, schools,
parking, high real estate taxes,
and slum clearance.
Those living in communities
populations between $4,000
and 100000 people consider park
.ng, schools, housing, and high
real estate taxes their communi-
TVS biggest problem.
People living in places with
populations between $500 and
rs, 900 people consider parking
and schools their biggest local
problems, followed by high real
sstate taxes.
And rural area residents name
ichools their No. l problem. Then
.ome sewers (the lack of sewers
many places and high real

In other words, if city fathers
cross the nation, busy with the
many problems facing them,
you'd choose to concentrate their
ttention on schools, parking, and

Smoke Test Reveals
Unsafe Chimney

OFTEN A SMOKE test of the CHM
ney determines its fitness for another
season and prevents a serious fire.
ChimneyS without continuous liners
may have mortar cracks extending
through to the surrounding woodwork
at the ceiling, attic floor or roof lines.
These are the places where fire is
most likely to start if the chimney is
not tight.
To make a smoke test, start a
smudge fire of oily rags in the furnace,
then cap the chimney top and watch
for smoke warnings in the attic or at
any exposed point along the chimney
construction.
Holes that show up by this test can
usually be filled by pushing new mortar
into them. Mortar for this purpose can
be made simply with one part cement
and one to two parts fine sand mixed
with water to putty-like consistency.

Drain Gasoline Tanks

Farm Mechanics
By E. B. WILSON

1T WILL PAY to drain the fuel tanks
on the engines of all seasonal equip
ment now.
When a tank is left with small
amount of fuel for several months the
gasoline in contact with the air will
oxidize and form gummy compound.
This gum will play havoc with the
screens, jets, and small openings in
the fuel system.
To save trouble next year the fuel
tanks on all seasonal equipment such
as combines, balers, forage choppers,
auger elevators, windrowers and so
forth, should be drained now and an
added precaution is to fill the carbure-
tor with kerosene, diesel fuel or fuel
oil.
If the fuel tank is not drained it
should be left full of fuel rather than
part full. This will exclude the air and
slow down the oxidation of the gasoline

Septic Tank TIPS

1T IS NOT necessary to bypass the
septic tank with the kitchen and base
ment drain as quite commonly believed.
The State Board of Health recommends
that all sewage from the house should
pass through the septic tank so that
any solid particles present can be de-
composed within the tank. The tile or
publication field will not be so likely
to clog if grease and soapy water are
allowed to pass through the tank first.
It is also a health hazard to drain
sewage into an open ditch or stream.

Social Security La1V
Cash Benefits
For Disabled
By BILL WOODROW, Manager
Great Falls Social Security Office

By BILL WOODROW, Manager
Great Falls Social Security office
This is the sixth in series of articles
in which Bill Woodrow will discuss im-
portant changes in the social security
law which affect farmers and ranch
ers particularly.
Readers who have questions concern
ing social security are invited to send
them in. Address inquiries to Social Sc
curity, Montana Farmer-StOckmans
Box 1929, Great Falls, Montana.
CASH SOCIAL SECURITY benefits
for disabled workers at age so and bene-
fits for children Is or over who were
disabled before they reached Is are
among the many 1856 changes in the
Social Security law. The significance of
these two changes is explained in this
article.
Beginning in January, 1857, monthly
payments may be made on behalf of
child over 10 years of age provided the
child was disabled before age 18 and
the child at the time the disability be-
gan was dependent on a parent who
continued to support the child up to
the time of the parents death or re-
tirement.
The parent at time of death or re-
tirement must have been insured if
payments are made Insured means
that the parent has sufficient coverage
under the law. The period of time re-
quired depends on a persons age. No
one may be insured with less than IL
years of coverage and no one will need
more than 10 years.
Beginning in July, 1857, monthly pay
ments may be made to persons at age
so or over, provided they are totally
and permanently disabled. Payments
may be made to persons who meet the
following requirements:
1. They must be so severely disabled
that they are unable to do any SUBJ
stantial work. Doctors statements are
used to arrive at the degree of disabil-
ity.
2. They must have worked or have
had self-employment income, or a
combination of both under social secur.
ity, for S out of the 10 years, and fol-
IL out of the years just before the
date of onset of the disability. Farmers
with no coverage prior to 1855 will be
unable to meet this requirement unit

Ia Government motion for a re-

The Governments move fol-
lowed an appellate opinion
which upset, for the second time

Judge David A. Pine in instruct
ing the jury were prejudicial to
Durham. His conviction was
reversed and the way left oper
for a new trial.
Durham's first conviction was
set aside by the appellate court
in a ruling which broadened tn,
tests by which a defendant car
successfully plead not guilty by
