of the larger salaries that the older
teachers usually get. If they had par
ticipated in shaping a salary scheme
for the school they would understand
fully the need for larger salaries to
provide for increasing obligations
with age and to make continuing in
the one school system attractive. In
many instances younger teachers have
no thought of remaining long in the
one school.
And an administrator can be equal

He can calculate how much more

his salary budget if he could spend
it mainly in salaries for younger and
lower-paid teachers. If his teachers
are not organized to take care of

One can look at the operation of
almost any university or high school
or grade school and see that it is
when a faculty is not positively or
ganized under its own direction that
it will, Intentionally or unintention-
ally, be giving the administration the
most trouble. A faculty that is posi-
lively organized will be working CO.
operatively among themselves and
with the administration in fixing
curricula, determining salary and pro-
motional policies, discussing formulas
for grading and making many other
decisions. In doing all this
they are not only sharing a sense of
for the total life and
spirit of the institution, they are also
together and getting to know
each other, as they never will if they
are only teaching in their separate
rooms and leaving the running of the
SCHOOL, to the administrators. If they
only teach they will find it much hard
er to live in cooperative and imagi-
native way with their fellows.
In an unorganized faculty, younger
teachers will easily be set off against

The people's voice., 1958-04-11

One phase of this effort was ex.
posed by Independent Features in
December in an article describing the
effort to knock the anti-usury pro-
visions out of the law, so far as they
applied to billions of dollars of loans
on installment paper purchased by
the banks from dealers.
Now it appears that important
rights of minority stockholders are
at stake. And suggestions of top
Federal Reserve Board officials,
which call for full financial disclosure
by banks, just the same as for other
large corporations, have been turned
down.
The Financial Institutions Bill,
which passed the Senate last year, and
is now being considered by the House
Banking and Currency Committee,
appears to some to be an effort
of top leaders in the banking system
to concentrate banking power in the
hands of a relatively few persons,
even to greater extent than at
present.
The legislative history of this bill
is an illustration of how badly our
legislative system at times can work
but it is a fascinating story.
BANKERS WRITE THE LAW
The Incident that seems to have
triggered this manipulation was the
1855 decision of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, which de-
clared that under certain circum-
stances installment financing done
by banks throughout the nation was
usurious, whether the banks loaned
directly at illegal rates of interest,
or whether the device was the condi- |
tional sales contract commonly en-
ployed.
The obvious remedy which occurred |
to the bankers was to get the law
changed. A man was found for the
job. Senator A. Willis Robertson ID |
Va.) was made temporary chairman
of the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. He named an advisory
committee to draft legislation for the
codifying of the banking laws, ig-
noring the fact that the United States
Code already presented a workable
code, issued every six years, with
annually. In August,
1856 the appointment of a 27-man
advisory committee was announced
With % of its members bank officers. :
This committee of bankers pro- :
iuced what is substantially the FL !;

When it went to the House Com C.
nlttee on Banking and Currency the a

because it was presumed to be merely IL
rearrangement and bringing togeth- r
r of existing lava routine opera
ion. But it was an extremely lengthy CT

addition, field reporters will
measure the wheat acreage on
any other farm where they find
wheat Is being grown this year.
Where inspections at this time
indicate the farm Is not in COM
pliance with its wheat allotment
or Soil Bank agreement, a notice
will be sent to the farm operator.
The notice will state the acreage
of wheat or other crops which
must be disposed Of in order to
bring the farm into compliance
with its allotment or Soil Bank
agreement.
Disposal dates are July IL in
the case of crops seeded last
fall and July 81 for crops seeded
this spring.
Methods of disposing of excess
acreages are different for farms
having wheat acreage allotrnents
only and for farms having Soil
Bank agreements, either Acreage
or Conservation Reserve.
For farms having wheat allot-
ments but no Soil Bank agree
ment excess wheat acreage may
be disposed of by the specified
date by blowing or discing under
as a green manure crop, pastur-
ing or cutting for hay or silage.
There are two requirements
with respect to compliance on
farms having Soil Bank agree
ments. First, the farm must be
in compliance with the permitted
acreage of wheat and, second, the
farm must be in compliance with
regard to the permitted acreage
of all Soil Bank base crops,
which include wheat. If there is
an acreage of Soil Bank base
crops on the farm in excess of
the permitted acreage, this ex-
cess must be disposed of by
blowing or discing under as a
green manure crop or pasturing
off prior to the specified dates.
In this case, the excess acreage
The Sidney herald., 1958-05-22

may NOT be cut for hay or
silage.
Chairman Anderson urges all
farmers to assist the acreage re-
porter who visits their farms.
The farm operator is asked to
accompany the reporter to show
him the crops and the designat-
ed reserve acreage on the farm.
This assistance will enable
our reporters to do a more thor
ough and satisfactory job of
measuring" Anderson said. 1.-THE
operator or his representative
will be asked to sign a certifi-
cate after the inspection has been
made. They are urged to review
this report carefully to insure
that it is accurate and includes
all the crop acreages required
before they certify"
Chairman Anderson said that
a second inspection will be made
of all farms having excess wheat
acreage, or excess acreage of 9TH
er crops in the ase of Soil Bank
agreements. This inspection will
be made as soon as possible af-
ter the applicable date for dis
posal of excess crop acreages.
Amy producer having questions
about the method of measuring
the farms, crops to be measured,
disposal dates or methods, or
similar matters is urged to visit
the county office in time to get
Qualification and dispose of any
xcess acreage by the dates es-
tablished.

Garment Labels
What would you do about can
ned food on your shelf If the
label was gone? Would you even
buy it without a label? That's
what happens when you buy a
garment or a piece Of fabric
that doesn't give fiber content.
It's imperative today that you
know the fibers In a garment.
Each has q certain characteristic
and property. Without this iden-
tity, you don't know how to treat
the garment.
Clothing and fabrics that carry
a hang-tag insure you against
guess work. You know exactly
what you're getting for your in
vestment. Manufacturers that
provide this tag are proud of
their product and want you, the
customer, to be informed.
Hang-tags have been establish
ed for mems and boys clothing,
as we'll as for dresses, blouses,
suits and sportswear. These re-
cent tags relate to blends OF ma
tural and man-made fibers. AS
you know, there's a federal law
requiring garments OF all wool or
blends be identified as to fiber
content. Another federal law re-
quires clothing and fabrics Of
acetate and rayon be labeled. II
O want to know what you're
buying, look for and then read
the hang-tsg for fiber content.
Tell your local store personnel
that you appreciate having these
tags on yard goods and clothing.
Lamps
Before shopping for q lamp,
have in mind what 1t is to be
used for. Many lamps are beau
tiful and decorative, but they give
very poor light.
If your table lamp is to be
used for reading, have the low
er edge Of the shade approx
mately at your eye level when
you're seated beside it. Many
The Sidney herald., 1958-05-22

new table lamps are taller, and
therefore need lower tables in or
der to give proper lighting. The
bottom of the shade of a floor
lamp should be about AZ inches
from the floor.
The inside of a lamp shade
should be white or a very pale
tint, for dark colors tend to alb
sorb the light. The bottom of the
shade should be wide enough to
spread a wide circle Of light. A
diffusing bowl inside the shade
helps to spread the light and
prevent reflection.
Four essentials for all good
lighting are % Have the right
amount of light for the seeing
task. (2) Avoid glare, caused by
unshaded fixtures or lamps of
the wrong height. (3) Have
enough light in enough places,
and don't confine lighting to just
one spot. (4) Direct the lighting
correctly, with lamps placed close
enough to your work and in a
position so that you are not
working In your own shadow.
