LOS ANGELES, July O.
The millinery industry is
trying to persuade top Demo-
cratic women to set a good
example for America - by
wearing hats.
They selected about 85 of
the foremos convention
women-delegates, Congress-
women, Governors wives
and offered them gift hats
from some of the best de-
signers.
Letters from a public re-
lations firm representing the
Millinery Industry of Amer
ica" advised the lucky recip-
tents they had but to go to a
certain Los Angeles depart
ment store and pick out a
model.
And if they were too busy,
someone would bring the hats
to them.
Even confirmed non-hat-
wearers couldn't resist the
offer.
Gov. Herschel Loveless of
Iowa accompanied his wife to
select a gift hat.
Representative Graice Pfost
Of Idaho picked out a chic
brown-toned number from a
wide assortment.
The department store in
volved said it had hats of
some Of the country's best
designers to offer. Some
models were priced as high
as $295.

FARMERS WITH REGULAR 0FF-FARM JOBS

Family-type farmers with regu-

tain form operating and develop
ment loans from the Farmers
Home Administration after October
1, if they are otherwise eligible,
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture announced last week.
Previously, except in rural deve-
lopment counties, farmer has had
to spend most of his time farming
in order to qualify for such loans.
But experience gained in rural
development counties has shown,
say USDA officials, that many
farmers regularly employed off the
farm can profitably use Farmers
Home credit to increase the farm
portion of their total income.
Officials point out on the other
hand that the regulations have pre-
vented some farmers from obtain
ing the maximum income from their
farms, and from taking advantage
of opportunities for industrial and
other off-farm employment.
Typical of the farm families that
are making good use of Farmers
