Current Figures On
Conservation Reserve

With 306.1S2 Conservation Re-
serve contracts in effect, the total
cropland acreage held out of pro-
duction under this program
throughout the country during the
present crop season amounts at
2S.659,973 acres, according to an
up-to-date report on Conservation
Reserve progress received at the
Kent County ASC Office at Dover.
Under Conservation Reserve con-
tracts, cropland is retired from
production for periods up to 10
years and the reserved land is
devoted to conservation uses. The
contracts now in force have an
average length of more than six
years. Although no new land is
being taken into the program at
this time, the existing contracts
remain in effect and will continue
until expiration. The current re-
port on Conservation Reserve stat
us, according to Lister V. Hall, Jr.,
Office Manager of the Kent ASC
County Office, shows Texas in first
place in acreage under contract,
with 3.6 million acres, followed in
order by North Dakota, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Colorado and Georgia. These are
the only states with more than one
million acres under contract. In
Delaware, there is a total of 284
contracts in effect, covering total
acreage of 1920 acres, of which
500 per cent is in the form of whole
farms. The Conservation Reserve
rental payment for Delaware av-
erages $16.66 per acre.

Children Enjoy The
Chance To Act
BY LEIF ERICKSON

PAkO ALTO, Calf. (P) =
Ihere's a bit of ham in every
child.
And because a generous widow
delighted in playing fairy god
mother, youngsters here can act
10 their hearts content = in a
real theater, with lights, settings
and costumes.
Twenty-four years ago Mrs.
Lucie Stern gave the kids of Palo
Alto their own theater building, a
handsome and professionally equip
ped structure that now would
cost between $500, 1000 and $780,
900 to replace.
Today 1t is the country's only
unsupported children's theater,
running IL months year in its
own building, q 208-seat house
scaled to young dimensions.
The broad program of juvenile
theater arts has become so much
a part of youngsters lives that
people here seem to take for
granted a children's theater en-
terprise that is unique i'm the nat
ion.
City Helps Out
The theater's budget runs about
$4,000 a year. Glass registration
fees OF 81 or less and the box Of
flee (at 80 cents for children and
30 cents for adults) produce about
$4,000.
The city appropriates the rest
for the theater's functioning as a
division of the recreation depart
ment.
Most of the $4,000 budget goes
for salaries for three fulltime
staff members the director,
assistant director, and technical

Youngsters Work
The staff is filled out by the

showing the greatest flair and

Mrs. Robertson, who organized
the child players as a small volun-

support responsibility in 1895,
after Mrs. Stern's gift building
was completed on city park site,
Children Start Young
Palo Alto then was a town of
$4,000, and some council members
worried that Mrs. Robertson was
raiding the treasury for a boon
doggle beyond the city's means.
But she solidly installed the
theater in the municipal budget.
Now the populations is $4,000 and
the overall attendance participa-
tion of Children's Theater activi-
ties runs to more than $4,000 a
year.
Moppets begin their acquaint-
ance with the theater at pre-
school age in rhythm-teaching toy

When Mrs. Robertson followed
her husband, an oil man, to Mid
die East oil fields in 1853, she was
succeeded by Miss Regime Bert

Some of the set creations ex-
cite the parent playgoers more
than the plays. One of the recent
best was the ship deck and dock
set designed for Marco Polo" by
John Patterson, technical direc-
tor since 1856.
Over the years, the wardrobe

With Chevy's independent front suspension
and Sturdi-Bt design, you cruise over trails
where other trucks creep. You feel the difference
in less wheel fight and vibration. You can see
why drivers are happier why loads are better
protected and why the truck itself will stand up
to thousands of miles of more work. That goes
for any size Chevy, too-pickups, tilt cabs,
tandems, all of them.
Check the latest specs with your Chevrolet
dealer: capacity, power teams, options, the works.
Then, by all means, drive 81. Once around
your Chevrolet dealers block and you'll never
be satisfied with front axle truck again!
