Backs School Bonds

The Arlington Branch Of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Women is supporting school
and courthouse Improvement
bond issues to be decided in a
countrywide referendum next
Tuesday.
The group said there we're
1919 more children in elemen-
tary grades than in junior and
senior high school. without ex-
panded facilities they said there
would be no classrooms for these
students when they reach the
higher grades.

granted its request for a L.
cent reduction in the retail
price on the newly authorized
gallon container.
Highs had asked that the re-
tail price be set at rs cents a
gallon for homogenized vitamin
D milk, but the commission set
the price at 80 cents a gallon,
exactly double the price of the
half-gallop container.
The commission commended
that a State Supreme Court rul-
ing requires it to set retail prices
according to representative reS-
sonable costs" of all distributors
in an area.

But it can tighten the burden
and ease the bonds of worry.
You can lend a helping hand
to the Martins-a real Washing
ton family, although that is not
their real name-with a contri-
button to The Evening Star Sum-
mer Camp Fund.
Generous response to the camp
fund appeal will make sure that
the Martin girls and other chill
dren whose families couldn't pos
sibly manage to give them a va
cation get a break this summer.

each carrying 100 votes, lack a
record either of ballot box num-
Der or precinct number. But he
estimated that this would run
only about 3 per cent, and said
I'VE are whiting away at this. !"
I'VE are gradually running
these down by various methods,
identifying the precincts" said
Mr.. Noll. THE methods in
Iclude scanning the receipts
given the counters for the bal
lot boxes we received from them
and tracing the handwriting.
We are also seeking to trace
them through persons that did
the counting at the precinct. On
the ballot box itself, now sealed
up in a special locked room, we
may find written on it what the
precinct number was
Mr.. Noll listed these three
major jobs ahead: /. Getting
the boards records into shape,
by correcting errors on cards and
other data. 2. Counting the
number of Democrats and Re-
publicans that voted in each
precinct, verifying them against
the voters certificates, which will
be a useful figure, but will take
some time to develop. 3. Count
ing the ballots candidate by
candidate and precinct by pre-
cinct.
The executive secretary said
also that I'VE are estimating the
cost of making count, precinct
by precinct, as the board does
not have the money to do it,"

islative session that saw the
council go on a bill passing
spree.
Nine other measures were en-
acted, two defeated and one
tabled.
Roy Coffman. an opponent of
the bill, said after the vote had
been taken that petitions slready
have been prepared to force a
referendum on the issue.
Such a petition requires S per
cent of the registered voters or
more than 5000 signatures to
have a referendum.
Council Lacks Authority
Mr.. Snure previously has said
he was not opposed to a referen-
dunn but he did successfully
fight a binding referen-
dunn proposed by Mrs. Stella B
Werner after County Attorney
Charles M. Irelan said the coun-
Gil lacked authority to initiate
a referendum.
Such a referendum would be
countrywide although She tax tc
be levied to retire the hospital
construction bonds would be col.
lected only in the Silver Spring
Wheaton area.
It is this feature of the bill
that has drawn fire from some
sections of the affected 18th
Election District. The bill, how
ever, has had the support Of
more than 40 civic and service
groups.
In the past attempts to finance
construction of a hospital fol
the eastern area of the county
out of countrywide funds have
been opposed by the Bethesda
Chevy Chase and upper county
areas.
The bill provides for a SO mil
lion bond issue to help financ,
construction of a 225-bed hos
pital at Forest Glen road ant
Sligo Park.
The bill was supported in tn,
final vote by Mr.. Snure, Wilbu
N. Baughman, Jerry T. William
and Charles H. Jamison.
Opposing the measure wer
Mrs. Stella B. Werner, Grover K
Walker and j. Grahame Walker

The council so far has passel
rs bills, defeated three an
tabled one. A bill to extend tn

is still pending.

o'clock tonight to wind up it

Every Virginia distributor but
Highs had asked that the COM
mission double the price on the
half-gallon container for the
gallon container.
In the appeal today Highs con-
tended that the commission had
failed to provide for competition
in milk prices.
Furthermore, Highs con-
tended, a recent ruling by the
State Supreme Court which re-
pealed the Fair Trade Act also
should repeal price-fixing by the
State Milk Commission.

The
Rambler
Some New Ways to
Hoodwink Voters?
BY JACK JONAS

The Library of Congress
hasn't exactly built a better
mousetrap, but with this
being an election year and all,
it may find an even deeper
congressional path beaten to
its door.
The reason for this is a gift
to the Library-a collection of
books giving helpful hints on
sleight = of hand, conjuring,
witchcraft, parlor tricks and
riddles for all occasions.
The candidate bent on fool
ing all of the people some of
the time might consult, for
example, "The Gentle Art of
Taxing"
One intent on digging up an
opponents past might delve
into THE Biography of a
Ghost Hunter"
In this era of television, the
candidates might break up
their speeches and debates
with a little legerdemain,
after consulting "Parlor
Tricks" or Easy Magic for
Evening Parties"
And what better book can
there be for both parties than
1900 Things a Bright Boy Can
Do"
There's a gold mine, too, for
political pundits, in such
items as How to Tell For
tunes With Cards"

THESE ARE but a few of
the between $1,000 and 10000
items in the magic collection
just received by the Library.
The librarians still aren't sure
how many they have.
The books, papers and
posters line four tiers of
shelves in the Gifts and Ex-
change Division. The librar-
ians are busy sorting them
to find out what's there.
They represent the collec-
tionS of John j. and Hanna M.
McManuS and Morris N. and
Chesley V. Young. Mr.. Nc
Manus and DR.. Young put
their collections together CO.
operatively with the idea of
donating them eventually for
public use.
Many of the books are
raritieS and many curioSitieS.
The Oldest concerns witch
craft. 1t was printed in Ger
man in 1884 under the title
Hammer of Witches" Two
monks wrote it for use in in
quirieS into Witchcraft.
A century and a half later,
another writer was exposing
witchcraft. The collections
include several fine volumes
of Scots Discovery of Witch
craft" The subtitle points to
the purpose:
Proving the common opin-
ions of witches contracting
with DivelS, spirits or famil-
lars; and their power to kill,
torment, and consume the
bodies of men, women and
children or other creatures by
disease or otherwise; and fly
ing in the air, &C., to be
imaginary, erroneous concep-
tons and novelties"

If pasture-fed steers sell for SIS per cwt.
at the end of the pasture season and
concentrates cost So per cwt., the dry
lOt-fed steers must sell for at least
$1S.93 per cwt.
than to help. We have presented some
charts from which you can estimate
for yourself, on the basis of your cost
conditions and your own predictions,
what prices must be gotten for steers
under the several feeding systems.
1t appears that irrigated pasture can
pay well for the use of land, if both
pasture and livestock are intelligently
managed, under usual price relation
ship.
1t also appears that it would usually
pay to feed on pasture. If pasture re-
sources are available, it is perhaps
questionable whether a drylot feeding
system will pay as well. However, this
last conclusion is by no means certain,
as can be seen by studying our last
chart lin Figure 81.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-08-15

If initial cost of steers is SIS per cwt.
pasture-fed steers must sell for at least
$1S.79 per cwt.
with a shorter production period and
heavier steers, is, of course, far more
risky than is the one reported in our
previous article.
DrylOt Feeding VS.. Pasture Feeding
Our final comparison between sum-
mer feeding systems is to find the
price conditions which would make a
drylot operation more profitable than
pasture-feeding In this way we can see
how likely it might be, under usual
price relationships.
The steers out of drylot must sell for
enough over the pasture-fed steers to
pay for 239 pounds per head of soybean
oil meal and 517 pounds of hay. They
also ate 638 pounds more of the con-
centrate mixture. On the other hand,
each paSture-fed steer incurred pas
ture cost equal to 1/25 of $45. Out of
drylot, the steers averaged 968 pounds;
off pasture, 917 pounds The drylot
steers graded about 7s choice; Is good.
The pasture-fed steers graded about "a
choice and "a good
Let's suppose the cost of soybean oil
meal, hay, and pasture to be the same
as before ($1OO per ton, $40 per ton,
and $45 per acre, respectively When
we put this information together, we
get the picture shown in Figure 8.
Along the bottom scale of this chart,
we show varying prices for concen-
trates; along the right edge of the
chart, the prices that might be ex-
: pected for pasture-fed steers. We read
off the left-hand vertical scale, the
price which must be received for the
