Why Retire Asks
Career Girl At rs

PROVIDENCE, R. I.-(P)-"Re-
tire? Pooh!"
So says Mrs Amelia Kelley,
Rhode Islands oldest active wo-
man insurance agent who's still
so busy after working 81 years than
even now, at 7S, she has no thought
of retiring.
1t was Aug. II, 1885, that she
went to work in an insurance and
real estate office in the same build
ing where her present office is To-
Gated
White-haired, neatly groomed and
brisk, Mrs. Kelley still drives a
car. Rhode Island requires road
tests for all persons over rs. She
easily passed her latest test in Sep
tember. Asked if she approved re
tirement at a fixed age, she an
swered:
"No, 1 don't approve of a COM
pulsory, chronological retirement
age for anybody. Some people are
good workers. Some aren't. Some
people should be retired long be-
lore others. Anyone who is capable,
well and able to do his work should
be kept on. If he is retired, he just
goes out and gets another job.
Well, bank workers and policemen
do, anyhow"
She thinks older workers are
more conscientious-"because it is
so hard for many older workers to
find new jobs"
She works from 10 a. m. TO p.
M, six days a week, and lives with
her husband and a sister. Some
week-ends, her misunderstanding
at Simmons College in Boston
comes home for visits. And Mrs.
Kelley is likely to do "a lot of
cooking" on Saturdays. But her work
is her real hobby.
She learned the insurance and
real estate business from the en-
ployer for whom she went to work
at II. Gradually, she took increas-
ing responsibility until she ran the
office while he was away for
months at a time. She still acts as
manager Of his estate, handles the
investments and other business
connected with it
She says the secret of her long
active business life is that her work
always has been pleasure.
"I have never felt pushed in It,
she explains. 81 would have stop
ped long ago if l hadn't liked it.

Some Sound Facts
For Swine Breeders

Selecting good animals for the
foundation of a good swine breed
ing herd is one of the first essen
tials to a successful swine breed
ing program, says Ray Lloyd, As
sistant County Agent. No better
plan for selecting these good ami
mails can be found than a swine
testing program you can operate
on your own farm. Sows, gifts and
boars used to improve the breeding
herd must come from hog families
with a good record as producers.
To start the program select your
best sows that come from a litter
of at least 10 pigs raised. At far
rowing time each litter should be
ear-marked as they are farrowed-
each pig of the litter to have the
same mark. This litter record is
to be checked by an official who
will certify to its accuracy. The
pigs must then be weighed also by
a disinterested party at S'weeks of
age. If the animal is a registered
animal to start with and if the
litter meets minimum standards as
to number of pigs raised and
weight of litter the litter may be
designated as a Production Regis
Try litter.
This is the start of a progressive
breeding program. Further testing
may be done to have the litter
certified as to meat type if the p X.
standards are met. In this case two
pigs will be raised to 200 lbs and
slaughter records made and if the
minimum standards of length, back
fat thickness, and loin area are
met the litter will get a meat-hog
certification from the breed asso-
citation.
The Agent points out that it is
not necessary to have registered
animals in order to do the testing
job, but registered animals are pre-
ferred as they can be recognized
by the breed association for their
performance. 1t is not necessary
to have the litter certified for
meat type but that also is to be pre-
ferred for the best answer to selec-
tion. The further you can go with
the testing program the better the
selecting job.

gram with any swine breeder. II

Help Needed

Since the conflict of the first
World War, the older veterans have
been waging a fight for their sons
and daughters, who fought in the
second World War and in Korea;
that they might be compensated for
the great sacrifices they made for
their country.
We as their fathers, the veterans
of World War /, set aside our
problems to see that the proper
legislation was enacted in their
behalf This being accomplished
and approved by those good and
faithful members of the congress,
has satisfied our desires and praise.
Now we OLD veterans are waging
a last ditch stand, thousands Of us
receiving the scars of battle, bodies
wrecked in health and age upon us,
still have the faith our countrymen
will not ignore our call for help.
AS citizens, we are appealing to
you. to come to our rescue by con-
tacting your legislators that they
will bring relief to we veterans.
and our widows of World War /.
Many of the veterans will become
public charges. this I feel you do
not wish to see. We are a proud
set of men, and / know as / write
these lines you will assist us in
bringing our urgent problems to
the attention of the lawmakers.
A pension bill has been submitted
to Congress and we are trusting
il will pass this session. AS citi-
zens. you. can do a lot for us in
urging the Congressman of the State
of Delaware to help us. 1t was for
your protection and safety that
we went to war. Do you recall the
whistles blowing, the flags waving
and the departure of we boys? And
then the same thing when we re-
turned home. Many have forgotten,
refresh your memorys and then
act upon them i'm a way we know
you have not completely forgotten.
You are the masses, we are the
few. II will be your voices heard i'm
numbers, in the ears of the Con-
gress.
The American Legion. Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and many of all
the war services are asking that
something be done for the veterans
of World War l. They are appeal
ing direct to Congress, am appeal
ing to you, the citizen. For this
reason, the numbers made up by
the American people. are so much
greater than that of we veterans.
Our voices are like men in the
wilderness not being heard. Your
acclaim and praise of us during
those war years. can again be
heard. can we count on your trum-
pet sounding again in our behalf?
This can help us. if the papers
of our great State will publish this
article which l shall submit to
them, so each of you the readers
can read our call for helm. And
then if you, the citizens will write
to your Congressman asking that
something be done for us. will be
appreciated beyond words we could
express. Will you do it?

Agent Helps Egg
Producers Select
Quality Chicks

The big question that market egg
producers must answer is where
should l buy chicks?" Each poul-
tryman will have to answer that
question for himself, says Ray
Lloyd, Asst County Agent, but here
are a few suggestions on how to go
about getting the grade and quail
ity of chicks that you would like
to have.
First of all, remember you get
only what you pay for. Cheap, bar
gained priced chicks, sold at a
great reduction in price, will in
all probability turn out to be the
most expensive after all.
Second, buy from a reputable
breeder who specializes in breed
ing for market egg production.
Remember that hatcheries, usually
specialize in one field or another,
either for egg production or meat
production not both.
Third, buy from the breeder you
have been buying from if you are
satisfied with your results. Why
run chances of poorer results next
year from an unknown breeder
when you are already satisfied? If
not satisfied, then consult with
other poultrymen of their source
of supply and their results.
Fourth, depend upon the results
of laying contests, random sample
flock tests, r. o. p. breeding work,
and such indicators of high pro-
duction, good Inability, and size
and quality of eggs as an indicator
of the kind of stock the breeder
has. Your County Agent has re-
ports of all the leading tests which
may help you in your selection.
Fifth, be sure to. consider the
quality as regards to health. They
should be free from Pullorum and
resistant to other diseases for
which a resistance has been de-
veloped.
r. Lloyd urges all market egg
producers to get the chicks ordered
early for early spring delivery and
to get the best quality of chicks
that money can buy. Quality of
chicks means those capable of high
production of good sized and good
quality eggs and god INABILITY
Only few cents more paid for the
chick will usually be quickly re-
turned with Just one more egg
produced. Poultrymen just can't be
too particular on this point, says
the agent.

Getting Jobs
In Industry

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Up - An
Ohio State University dean says
liberal arts graduates, including
those with "non-technicaP train
ing, are being placed in good jobs
by industry.
Industry and business are wax
ing up to the fact that they've been
overlooking a bet in their recruit
ment programs says Prof. James
F. Fullington, dean of OSU's Col
lege of Arts and Sciences.
He said industry and business
find that a liberal education, re-
gardless of the major field of study,
develops capabilities that they
need and can use ''in management,
sales, and, believe it or not, pro-
duction."
Discussing the functions of the
college of arts and sciences, he
said the college 'is dedicated to
the conviction that the primary
aim of undergraduate education
should be the development of the
man, and that specialized techni-
cal training should be secondary" /"
He added that this is not mat
ter of the exclusion of specialized
technical training. but of relative
emphasis"
"The college believes" Dean
Fullington said, "that the man who
is broadly education in the sci
ences, social sciences, arts, and
humanities may become a hap
pier man, a better husband and
father, a better citizen, and a bet
ter leader in his vocational field
than the narrowly trained special
ist."
