Don't Rely Too
Much On Pasture,
Dairymen Advised

After a winter in which they
purchased more feed than usual,
Maryland dairy farmers probably
will be more thankful than ever
when pastures get far enough adj
vanced to provide most of the feed
requirements.
Although pastures certainly will
be a relief, there is danger in re-
lying on them too heavily. warns
University of Maryland Extension
Dairyman Bob Appleman.
He says that when much conf
dence is placed in pastures, and the
farmer takes it for granted that
cows are getting something that
really isn't there. a reaction known
as pasture starvation" often re-
suits. Often" he says I'VE blame
May and June slumps in milk pro-
duction on flies or hot weather.
The reason really is that our cows
aren't getting enough to eat"
Studies show that proper man
agement practices taken to prevent
pasture starvation often result in
production increases of !, 900 or more
pounds or milk per COW during the
pasture season.
The most important practice is
supplementing pasture with hay,
silage, concentrate or a combination
of two or all three of these. ac-

COMMUNITY FACILITIES BILL
: am pleased to report that the
Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency, of which | am a member,
has completed its work on the Com
munity Facilities Bill. This bill now
must be passed on by the Senate
as a whole 1t greatly increases
Federal money available to NUM-
cipalitieS for water systems and
sewage systems, on a revolving
loan basis, raising the amount of
the revolving fund which is
available for such projects from
100 million dollars to BILLION
DOLLARS. 1t removes restrictions
which heretofore have limited loans
to small towns and cities. The Com
munty Facilities Bill makes many
kinds of local public works eligible
This should improve employment
conditions in cities and towns
throughout the country.
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION =
After spirited debate, the Senate
passed the 1858 Highway Act. An
additional $500 million for Federal
aid primary roads is authorized for
expenditure this year An extra 5000
million for construction of inter
state highways is authorized for the
fiscal year commencing next July.
These authorizations. totaling $500
million, are over and above the reg
ular appropriation for road build
ing for the current year All told,
the bill should start a highway
construction boom and provide
work for thousands.

Since 1858, number of families with
incomes over $500 has increased
from 8 per cent to II per cent

in themselves these good works char.

on guard lest we become a profession

Do we help others not so much to
aid them as to give ourselves a feeling
of Importance? Do we look down on
others because they are not as self.

Poor Need Personal Interest:

cares for more people, supports more
children, helps more handicapped and
sick and disabled people, than any
other agency of local government.
The Department is responsible not
only for providing support for people
who cannot find employment, but it
takes care of people who are blind,
who are sick, who are permanently
disabled and who have little children
who need their mothers at home.
In June there were 6,734 families
more than 10000 individuals, being
helped by the Welfare Department.
This is a very small number for a
community of over 600, 900 people.
Granted that Franklin County faces
a shortage of funds. Granted the peo-
pie on public assistance have few votes
and are not vocal in their requests.
This does not relieve the officials of
taking care of the poor.
The July Is tentative budget will be
modified in January, but it is extreme
ly unlikely that any money will be
given to the County Welfare Depart
ment then, unless, we the citizens of
this community, take the initiative in
informing the Board of County Com
missioners that we expect them to car
ry out their sacred trust and impor-
tant duty toward the poor.
It is time that more citizens of this
community visit, write or call the
County Commissioners to let them
know the poor are not second-rate
citizens and that the voters of this
community expect elected officials to
fulfill their sworn duty of caring for
the helpless. WEEK.

the pretext that it is "for their own
good?"
If SO, we are guilty of pride and are
worse off than those we look down up
on. Pride is essentially se~lf-deception
and often beclouds our motives. This
lesson is trenchantly stated by our
Blessed Lord in this Sundays parable
of the Pharisee and the Publican.
Christ condemns the pride which
makes III trust ourselves alone and
which shows itself in contempt for
others. Such pride is an enemy of God
because it attributes our gifts to self
and makes us imagine we need no help
outside ourselves.
Left to ourselves we are powerless
and prone to sin. Without God and His
grace we are nothing. Why not throw
off the shackles of pride and admit
prayerfully how defenseless we really
are? If we make that admission, we

Union Shop Not Contrary
To Rights OF Worker
By Msgr. George G. Higgins

1t may or may not be COM
parable to a mans right to
p%atronize a chain store in
preference to the vanishing
corner grocery; but surely it
is not at all comparable to a
mans right to choose a
church.
There is nothing original
about this theory. 1t is stand
ard Catholic teaching. THE
late Monsignor John A. Ryan,
longtime professor of moral
theology at the Catholic Uni
versity of America and first
Director of the NCWC Social
Action Department, expressed
il very succinctly almost so
years ago in an article =enti-
tied Moral Aspects of Labor
Unions" in the Catholic Ency-
clopedia. This article reads in
part as follows:
8. -. The right of a nom
unionist to work in the same
shop with a unionist is no
more unconditional than the
right OF strike, to boycott, or
to enter any social relation
which requires the consent of
the other party. 1t is condi-
toned by the circumstances.

When the Franklin County Commits

that at least occasionally we
