CHURCHES, X URAL PEOPLE
TO OBSERVE RURAL LIFE
SUNDAY, SOIL STEWARD
SHIP WEEK

Delaware churches and rura
people are prepared to observe
Rural Life Sunday-the fifth Sun.
day after Easter-and Soil Stew.
ardship Week from May IL to IS
as part of a national observance
first designated by President Els.
enhower in 1855 to help our cit
izens learn more about the true
relation of land and water to
their material and spiritual well
fare"
Taking an active part in the
observance each year are state
soil conservation districts, local
farm organizations, and All
Clubs. Rural church members
especially are expected to hear
sermons regarding the spiritual
values of rural life.
Both observances are sponsored
by a number of religious, agricul-
tural and other organizations, in
GLIDING the National Council of
Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.,
National Catholic Rural Life Con-
ference, and the National Luther
an Council. The principal agri-
cultural sponsor of Soil Steward
ship Week is the National Asso-
citation of Soil Conservation Dis
tricts.
In his statement, Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
said 1.-THE rural community has
traditionally been considered
repository of values and attitudes
which make for desirable soci-
ety. We in the department sin
cerely welcome the help such OBJ
servances give in interpreting and
enriching rural life.
Rural life is changing. Instead
of single, homogeneous structure
almost completely employed in
agriculture, it has become COM
plex heterogeneous structure with
great diversity of occupation. In
this setting we must not lose
sight of inherent values in the
country community.
Setting aside specific time
helps bring an awareness to both
rural and urban people of the
stewardship implications in the
use of land and the conservation
of natural resources, the develop
ment of opportunities for people
particularly our young people
in agriculture and in rural areas
so they can work toward the
goals TO which they aspire, and
gives recognition to the place of
the rural family in our total So
.ciety."

There are Democratic prt-

one candidate for each Of the
three posts, and they are as

First 3 Propositions
The first Of the three prop
ositions In the special referen-
dunn balloting is the key TO
Statehood.
On that ballot, Alaskans
marked an "X" to indicate yes
or no to the question, shall
Alaska Immediately be admit
ted into the Union as q Slater"
If q majority says EYES," It
appears the other two PROPOSE
tions will be approved by q
similar margin. One Of the
others calls for acceptance OF
the territorial boundaries as
the boundaries Of the new
State. The last one accepts
for the new State 103,S50, 900
acres Of public land, and re-
serves to the President the
right to make military land
Withdrawals In periods Of ma
tional emergency.
Statehood opposition has
been based on the feeling that
the thinly settled territory cam
not support q State govern
ment. A Federal survey esti-
mated governmental costs to
Alaska under statehood would
increase by $1,350,00o q year.
The polls opened at 8 am.
and voting was to continue

of Alaska.

paigns.
However, other Age dele
gates, including some Of the
unions top officers, feel that
it would be @ grave mistake to
repeal or even tamper too much
with the Hatch Act.
See EmpIOye Protected
They feel the present law at
fords great protection to Fed

from their bosses to participate
In political campaigns. This, In
turn, safeguards the job rights
of Federal employees since they
do not have to run the risk Of
being on the losing side" In
elections, these AFGE dele
gates feel.
There is agreement that
some modification Of the Hatch
Act is desirable, but how far it
should 60 is the bone Of con-
tention among the delegates
there.
Among pending resolutions
which are expected to be ap-
proved without much contro-
