Madison South High Schools
seniors will present their annual
Senior Play next Friday, Novem-
Der %, in the High School Gym
nasium, under the direction of Ben
Beatty, with the assistance of Miss
Beverly Fisher. The entire presen-
tation is based on high school life,
in roles which most of the cast can
easily fill with their own emotions.
The play includes many facets
of the normal and abnormal high
school life, spiced with the witty
imagination Of the writer who
could have easily been having a
bad dream of his high school days.
1t covers, in a typical high school
manner, the antics of the hot rod
ders to the hot water the coach
gets into as he gets amorous with
the principal the speed demon and
the school vamp. 1t is all wool and
a yard wide, when it comes to
painting a rollicking picture of
the effervescent life of the high
school set, with the exception of
the highly stylized reflections of
the faculty
Taking part in the presentation,
in order of their appearance on
the scene are Nancy Gammell as

Four Countries
Represented By
Special Visitors

Farmers of the southwestern
sector of Madison County gathered
at South Solon Monday evening to
discuss their problems and to
adopt a resolution aimed at putting
the farm income on the same level
as other workers, with a workable
plan for sharing any surplus loss
es. They also played host to guests
from Wales, Brazil, England and
Austria, as well as other guests.
The meeting of The Farmers
Union, one of three major farm or
ganizations operating in the area,
accepted for their support, the
Simnermon Farm Plan, developed
and produced by one of their men,
bers, Emmett Simmermon. Accord
ing to the plan, it would do away
with the wide year-to-year varia-
tions in the prices farmers receive
for their products, put farm in
come on a par with other groups
and stabilize the method of distri-
buting the cost of bearing the sur
plus problems.
The Sirnmermon Plan has been
presented to leading agricultural
experts across the country, includ-
ing top agricultural economists in
Columbus and Washington. Actu-
ally, it was pointed out that many
experts have said the plan is so
ideal that it seems almost impos-
sibly easy to manage.
During the evening, which was
highlighted by a roast duck dinner,
the members discussed various
farm problems with three Brazil
lian Ministry of Agriculture Public
Relations specialists and three
European farm boys who have
spent a year in this country as
guests of the Farmers Union They
also had as guests for the evening
representatives of The Madison
Press Company and WLW Radios
Farm Department.
AS part of the program,
WLW Farm Director Bob Mil
Ter recorded an interview with
the three European guests for
presentation on the Farm Program
Sunday, December /. Participating
in the interview were Jack Stokes,
England; Byron Thomson, Wales
and Josef Doppler, Austria.
The representatives of the Bra
lillian government were in the
area studying the methods used
here to get information from the
different agricultural agencies to
farmers and their families. They
were Pedro Lima, a leading agri-
cultural magazine writer; Edward
S. Whitehurst, Special Public Re-
lations assistant in the Ministry of
Agriculture and Jose Salazar,
Chief of the Brazilian Agricultural
Information Service. Their inter-
prefer was Herman Cabrera, who
is with the Foreign Agricultural
Service, United States Department
of Agriculture. The group had
spent week studying the various
farm programs operated by WLW
Radio.
Another guest of the Farmers
Union was their State Chairman
Joseph FIGHTER, who introduced
