April IS Effective
Date For Contracts

New Conservation Reserve con-
tracts nov being signed by farm
ers in Richland county will be-
come effective not later than April
Is, 1859, according to Arthur An
derson, Chairman of the County
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation committee.
All Conservation Reserve con-
tracts require that the land in
Guided be devoted to grass, trees
or a water or Wildlife conservation
practice, Mr.. Anderson explained.
If the conservation practice to be
used on the designated land is per-
formed before April is, the con-
tract becomes effective at the
time the practice is started. If the
conservation practice is not start
ed by April, 1859, the contract be-
comes effective on that date.
This means that 1858 crops on
land put in the Conservation Re-
serve this fall can be harvested if
harvesting is completed before the
contract goes into effect. In adj
dition, the land put in the Reserve
for the first time this fall may be
grazed until the contract goes into
effect. After the contract goes
into effect the farmer agrees not
to Craze the land or harvest a
crop from it. He also agrees to re-
frain from harvesting Christmas
trees and ~ornamentals from Con-
servation Reserve land on which
forest trees have been plantedd.

impression they created with what visitors
referred to as the casual" feminine,

For instance, one couple poIled were on the
brink of family free-for-all when the husband

THE PAST
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

Every time mankind begins to
get too big for his britches Mother
Nature slaps him on the wrist and
puts him in his place. Satellites
may zoom around the earth, and
planes may break the sound bar
rier; but when a big freeze comes,
man realizes who is boss.
People of my generation heard
their elders tell tales of the hur-
ricane and flood of 1918 and the
big freeze of 1917, and we enter
tanned certain amount of skep-
ticism concerning them. Now we
have lived to see both repeated. No
one drove an automobile across the
river this time, but the greatest
skeptic could not deny that the
river was frozen.
In such times as these, the most
sought after man in the country
is not the missile-man, but the
plumber. He alone can ease the
miseries that come with frozen
water pipes. People who are busy
trotting to the well to get bucket
of water are too busy to care
what is going on at Cape Canaver-
al. Modern man, who has conquer
ed space, is no better off than his
great-grandfather was in freezing
weather. Less well-off, in fact, for
great-grandpapa was accustomed
to going to the well and bathing
from a basin beside the stove. One
wonders how he ever got up the
nerve to battle at all.
My sympathy goes out to those
who were beset with bursting
pipes, for I have served my time
in the past at hopping up icy
water; nevertheless, it is hard not
to laugh at some of the tales of
woe. One kindly man Tor so the
story goes) decided to let the cat
stay in the kitchen, instead of out
doors, overnight. He also decided
that it would be wise to let the
spigots run a little to prevent
frozen pipes. Sometime in the
night he was awakened by deadful
noise issuing from the kitchen,
Realizing that something was
dreadfully wrong with the cat, he

methods used in many states are
negative in their approach" 10.
seph H. Braun, chairman Of the
AAA legal advisory committee
told delegates.
1.-THE primary approach" he
said, "has been to crack down
on the motorist with heavy
emphasis on arrests, prosecu-
tions and license suspensions.
In many instances, no par.
tieular effort is made to Sc
cure the drivers respect for,
or cooperation with, law en-.
forcement efforts"
There are several examples OF
this negative approach which
were adopted by state legisla-
lures and administrations last
year, according to Braun,
"For instance" he said, "sev-
eral states announced plans to
increase the use of unmarked
police cars and road blocks for
ordinary highway patrol work,
despite the fact that other areas
have abandoned such .techniques
after unsuccessful experience
with them"
Other AAA officials pointed
out that marked patrol cars
influence motorists TO slow
down and drive more safely,
thus preventing far more acci.
dents than unmarked cars.
Another negative approach,
according to Braun, was the
adoption by a number of states
of fixed, absolute speed limits,
permanently written into the
law, and applicable to all high
WAYS in the state regardless of
