ONE MANS OPINION

HONOLULU (AP)-A. B. Herkes,
retiring manager of the Hawaiian
Philippine. Co., believes economic
conservatism of the Philippine gov

economic growth of that country.
Herkes has worked in the sugar
industry of Hawaii and the Phil
ippines for over 80 years.
; He said the Philippine govern
ment appears reluctant to work
with foreign countries out of fear
of losing its economic independ-
ence. Nevertheless, Relations be-

SOYBEANS HAVE FUTURE

URBANA, Ill. .(AP)-Scientists at
University of Illinois believe soy
beans eventually may be added to
the list of regular fare. for Ameri-
cans.
Testing vegetable-type soybeans,
which have mild nutty flavor
and are larger and cook more
easily than field-type soybeans,
the researchers found that soak
ing and cooking processes did not
affect thiamine vitamin content.
Soybeans compare favorably in
thiamine with other good sources
of this vitamin, including peanuts,
fried beef liver, cooked oatmeal
and whole wheat bread. Thiamine
corrects and prevents beriberi and
promotes optimal growth in in
fants and children.

A fast beginning describes the
official opening of the racing
season at the Farmville Carting
Clubs modern, paved track.
Threatening weather held down
the crowd, and cut some out
side competition from neighbor-
ing towns and cities. But R. S.
Bob Shanaberger, president,
called the opening a successful
one.
Successful it was if the interest
apparent among competitors and
spectators alike there Friday
night serve as the measuring
stick for an opening. The crowd,
though not large. was starry
eyed from beginning to finish.
The victors in the five races,
from Ray Crymes, Jr., age ten,
to the adults looked as proud as
if they we're riding in Caesars
chariot as the swung around the

people may say that it looks dan
gerous for participants, both
adults and children, but it is
much safer than playing foot
ball" Shanaberger said.
Safety at Track
How safe the F'arnville track
is was explained in this way. 1T
was designed for safety and for
strictly class A competition. The
faster cars for classes B and c
are ruled out here. Cars used on
the track must meet certain
specifications, the use of I'M
breakable helmets and goggles is
required, engines are two cycle
jobs fuse mixture Of gas and oil
which will burn, but not blow up,
etc." the club leader reported.
The Carting Club welcomes
new members, men and women,
boys and girls. One of the selling
ideas for taking up the sport is
to take to the track to blow off
a little steam, not to the high
way.
