Chrisfmos IS Happy
Time For Families

Christmas is happy time for
American families, a time for fam
flies to get together and enjoy
each other. And to exchange gifts.
Already Santa's helpers (moth-
ers and dads and grandparents and
aunts and uncles) are visiting the
toy shops in anticipation of max
ing it a big Christmas for tn e
small fry.
The toys this season are infinite
in variety and ingenuity. Most of
them are completely safe for the
small children. But some of them
may have inherent built-in dang
ers to the health and safety of the
youngsters.
Here are some shopping hints
that may help you insure n t
Christmas in your household is
unmarried by preventabie acci-
dent or illness originating r ON
toys or decorations.
Avoid toys made of lead or col
ored with lead-based paints. Small
children sometimes chew off e
lead paint and swallow it, and SER
ious illness could result.
Be careful about small toys that
can be swallowed, flammable toys
and toys with rough or sharp
edges.
Baby's toys should be too large
to put in the mouth, washable,
lightweight and non-brittle.
Electric toys can be a special
hazard. Look for the UL (Under-
writer's laboratory label on the
cord and the toy itself.
Missle-throwing toys, from sling
shots to air rifles, are dangerous,
particularly to the eyes. Toy arch
cry sets also are hazardous. If
your child receives a toy t h a t
propels BIB shot or arrows, by all
means establish ground rules for
safe use, and see that they are en-
forced.
Air rifles are Illegal in many
localities and check of local
laws is advisable before making
the purchase. Never forget that B
B shot richochet easily from a
hard surface.

Details Of '63 Feed
Gruin Program Set

The 1868 voluntary feed grain
program will generally follow pro-
gram provisions for 1861 and 1862
crops by giving feed grain produc-
ers an opportunity to participate
in the program by reducing acre
ages and to receive payments, JAG
OBJ Zimmerman, Chairman, Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conser-
vation State Committee, has n
nounced. AS in 1862, the program
will apply to corn, grain sorghum
and barley.
BY participating, farmers will
receive diversion payments for
shifting acreage from production
to conservation use and in addi-
tion they will receive price-support
payments on the normal produc-
tion of the 1868 feed grain acre
age. They will also be eligible to
obtain price-support loans d
purchase agreements for the ac-
tual 1868 feed grain production.
Rates for diversion payments are
somewhat smaller than in prev
ious years, but this decrease will
be more than offset for most farm
ers by the price-sdpport payments.
A major change from previous
programs, Mr.. Zimmerman empha-
sized, is that to be eligible for any
payments or price support on any
of the three feed grains included
in the program, the farmer must
divert the total acreage for which
he signs up. The Chairman ex-
planned that farmers may take part
in the program by reducing t h e
total of their 1868 feed grain
acreage (corn, grain sorghum,
and barley by at least 20 percent.
The maximum diversion is h e
higher of 40 per cent of the base
acreage or rs acres, provided this
is not more than the base acreage.
The acreage of the three crops
(1959-60 average acreage, as ad-
justed) will be combined into one
total feed grain base for, e h
farm, and the farmer may choose
to divert one or more of the feed
grains, with the diversion pay
ment being made at the perace
rate applicable to the particular
grain or grains diverted
Farmers who have planted their
1868 barley crop this fall will be
able to take part in the 1868 pro-
gram by reducing their total feed
grain acreage by at least 20 per-
cent.

Price support to participating
farmers will be available partly
through loans and purchase agree
ments and partly through the
price-support payment. Loans and
purchase agreements will reflect a
national average price of $102 per
bushel on corn, $1.62 per cwt. on
grain sorghum, and 79 cents per
bushel on barley. In addition, price
support payments will be made on
the normal production of the 1868
feed grain acreage at the rate of
Is cents per bushel on corn, 29
cents per cwt. (16 cents per bush
ell on grain sorghums, and IA
cents per bushel on barley.
Oats and rye are not included
in the 1868 feed grain program,
thus no payment is provided and
no reduction in acreage is required
for price-snpport eligibility. AS in
1862, the national average supports
for these two crops for 1868 will
be 81 cents per bushel for oats
and $1.02 per bushel for rye.
Participating farmers will b e
able to put all of their 1868 crop
corn, grain sorghum, and barley
under price-support loans and pur-
chase agreements This is a change
from earlier programs, whic h
limited support to the normal pro-
duction of the 1862 crop.
Under the 1868 program, acres
taken out of feed grains may be
planted to guar sesame, safflower,
lsunflower, and castor beans, bu t
at a lower diversion rate with
no payment on acres planted to
safflower.
Farmers may receive part OF
their acreage diversion payment at
the time they sign up to partici-
pate in the program. The signup
period for the 1868 feed grain pro-
gram will be early next year and
| it will be announced later, Chair
man Zimmerman said.

Appeal to Students
In Mississippi in 1945 Jake

of the university. the people
who are most concerned.
You have a great tradition to
uphold, a tradition of honor
and courage, won on the field
of battle and on the gridiron as
we'll as the university campus
You have a new opportunity
to show that you are men OF
patriotism and integrity. For
the most effective means OF
upholding the law is not the
State policeman or the mar
shals or the National Guard
1t is you. 1t lies in your cour-

which you disagree as well as
those with which you agree
The eyes of the Nation and all
the world are upon you and
upon all of us, and the honor
of your university and State are
in the balance. I am certain
the great majority of the stu
dents will uphold that honor.
There is in short no reason
why the books on this case
cannot now be quickly and
quietly closed in the manner
directed by the court. Let us
preserve both the law and the
peace and then healing those
wounds that are within we car

Here is a teTt of President
Kennedy'S talk last night
oUer Nationwide teleUiSion on
the racial crisis at the Uni
verSity of Mississippi.
Good evening, my fellow citi-
ZenS:
The orders of the court in
the case of Meredith VS.. Fair
are beginning to be carried out.
Mr.. James Meredith is now in
residence on the campus Of the
University of Mississippi. This
has been accomplished thus far
without the use of National
Guard or other troops-and it
is to be hoped that the law en-
forcement officers of the State
Of Mississippi and the Federal
marhals will continue to be
sufficient in the future. All stu
dents, members of the faculty
and public officials in both
Mississippi and the Nation, it
is hoped. can now return to
their normal activities with full
confidence in the integrity of
American law.
Free to Disagree
This is as it should be. For
our Nation is founded on the
principle that observance of
the law is the eternal safeguard
of iberty-and defiance Of the
law is the Surest road to
tyranny. The law which we
opey includes the final rulings
Of our courts as well as the en-
actment of our legislative
bodies. Even among law-abid-
ing men, few laws are unlvers-
ally loved-but they are uni
formly respected and not re-
sisted.
Americans are free. in short,
to disagree with the law-but
not to disobey it, For in a gov
,lernment of lawsI and not OF
