ruption. ThlS modern SIdOe
of affairs suggests q report
made thousands Of years ago
about an ancient city. Jericho
had every outward sign OF
prosperity but there was a
Earring discord spelling its
municipal music-its water
supply was tainted! Jericho
city fathers alarmed at the
situation which threatened
the health of every man,
woman, and child in the
town that seemed so fair and
fortunate, come to the
Prophet Elisha - Behold"
cried the members Of the
City Council. Behold. the
situation Of the city is pleas
ant, but its waters are
tainted" That condition made
it the city ugly. This is a
picture Of what is debauch-
ing the land we are sworn to
defend.
Now the Biblical story rec
ords that the prophet healed
the poisoned waters by cast
ing salt into the spring. That
saving salt must be found
by national and state author
tiles II our corrupted waters
are to be made whole.
There is not a river that
flows through the land Of
mans dreams, desires. activi-
ties. expressions. and aspi-
rations which cannot become
poisoned and polluted. That
is true Of the crystal streams
Of music, literature, art.
sports, of government. and
even Of religion. Any one Of
these realms can become pol
luted. Music. savoring Of the
jungle. may arouse the lowest
instincts. Literature which
spells out the salaciousness
and which today is making
moral ceSspools Of our news
stands, contaminates tn
imagination. Art may pander
to the lewd. Sport. when its
aim is simply to excel at all
costs. is perverted when its
one passion is to score.
Now. what can be done for
the cleansing or these rivers
flowing through the crowded
cities Of our modern life? Leg
islation can do something
about keeping poison out of
food. out of the air. and out
of streams. But, police are
never the final cure Of pol
luton! A prophet greater
than Elisha who. by bitter
experience. knew that even
religion can degenerate into
a racket. and that all the
streams Of human life may
become corrupt. declared that
only the salt Of a pure heart
will suffice to heal the
streams of human life. He
admonished his followers not
to melt into their surround
ings. but to throw the stub
born ounces of their individ-
ual weight against the wrong
that needs resistance. and for
the right that needs assist
ance.
Never did that Supreme
Teacher utter anything more
pertinent to His followers
across all the centuries than,
Ye Are The Salt OF The
Earth! Only by being salt in
ourselves can we. as indi-
viduals. become part of the
solution rather than part Of
the problem. and help to
wipe out the Ugly from that
glorious word, America!

plan to seek congressional approval of

broken, the prospect of an end to the
self-defeating highway transit feud

harmless natural radiation.
Nothing can destroy radio
activity except time and its own
decay.
Although radioactivity is old
stuff, fallout is a modern term
to describe a modern threat. Il
requires modern knowledge and
modern protection. After a nu-
clear explosion, radioactive fall
out would give off a form Of
energy called gamma rays. This
Is a kind of invisible Light to
which all materials, including
the human body, are partly
transparent. Overexposure to
these rays can make you sick
or kill you. The only way to
protect yourself from fallout Is
to get as much shielding as pos
sfble between you and 1t.
Everyone needs shelter from
radioactive fallout because no
one knows how many or what
targets an enemy might strike
and no one knows where the
winds might carry the fallout.
Get the facts and make your
emergency preparedness plans
now.
A shelter needn't be elegant,
only safe. You should be ready
to take advantage of the best
shelter available at all times.
In event of surprise attack, most
people won't know even approxi-
mately how much radiation
they've been exposed to. Only
those who go into an adequate
shelter before fallout arrives,
and stay there, can be sure Of
excaping radiation sickness.
A few hours and a little money
may be all 1t will take to build
fallout protection into part of
your home. That's small price
to pay for survival insurance.
ALI county agents In Delaware
have copies of nYour Family
Survival Plan" and "Your Farm
Prepar edness Plan," and are
ready to help you make your
plans now.

story In a recent issue spoke
of potato harvesting demonstra-
tion trials In England that should
be Of interest to our Delaware
potato growers.
The Crawford row harvest
ing system seemed to have a
possible application for our own
conditions. It's called a system
because two machines are In
volved. One is a conventional
single or double row digger
which places the potatoes on the
surface to dry. The other Is a
six row belt conveyor which lifts
the potatoes to a bulk wagon.
Six people kneel on a slowly
moving platform which is cush-
ioned. They pick up and place the
potatoes on the belt.
Some comparative data was
given with hand pick up-by
"stint" as the English call 1t.
The Crawford system uses seven
instead Of Is people to pick up
third Of an acre per hour.
But 1t takes only "a manhours
for the machine system as
against As hours for the
hand pick up per acre. The
machine picked up twice as much
dirt as hand picking In the trials
and damage to tubes was only
80 more for the machine.

RABBITS AND MICE and other
rodents can cause severe DAM
age to young fruit and ornamen-
tai trees while snow cover their
normal food supply. They often
eat the outer bark of these trees
sometimes causing enough DAM
age to kill the tree.
Heavy aluminium foil, hard
ware cloth or screening wrap
ped around the bases of the
trees will protect them. This
protective material should be
used before the ground is COW
cred with snow, and 1t should
be high enough on the trees to
be well above the snow line.
For example, ornamental
trees such as crabapples and
cherries could be wrapped with
a six-iHch strip Of foil or screen
about a yard long. To keep mice
from damaging the trees, a fine
mesh wire can be pegged In the
soil two inches below the soil
line and a foot and a half or
two feet above the base of the
tree.
Cost Of this protection Is
small, but 1t Is effective against
these pests.

mas.
While the evergreen is serv-
ing as Christmas tree, II
should be kept as cool as pos
sfble. It should be well watered,
but should not be allowed to
stand In water.
After Christmas, put the tree
In a garage or cool room for
about week to let 1t sharden''
for outdoor life. After planting,
water 1t well again.
Because the ground may be
frozen and hard to dig after
Christmas, it's a good idea to
dig the hole for the tree now
and keep bushel Of soil In
the basement, to prevent freez-
ing. When planting the tree out
doors, use this soil to fill In the
hole, and add another six inches
of mulch around the tree to pre-
vent freezing and thawing.

The hearings presently going on
in Washington are drawing
groups representing at least
twenty five states from SO pro-
ducing areas.
Your county agent spent last
Tuesday listening to testimony
offered by growers and local
officials plumping for more
acreage or a new processing
plant. Eight senator's and repre-
sentatives from the Congress ap-
peared for the opening of the
hearings on behalf of their
states.
Acreage controls for some
crops seem to be absolutely nee
essary. Sugar, tobacco, peanuts,
and a few others require highly
specialized storage and process
sing equipment. A flooded mar
ket becomes Improbable for
everyone, including the most ef-
ficient.
fBUY TOP QUALITY produce
for assured delivery at a given
time and don't worry too much
about the price. Over the per-
iod Of year, you will find that
you are buying at the market
average price,"
This was the gist of a con-
verstion I picked up In a con-
versation with a large volume
buyer at USDA In Washington.
He was pointing UP a sound
marketing principle. Market
supplies and prices vary to

quality he can find, 1t usually
finds a ready market.

Korean conflict veterans hold
non-participating policies that
do not provide regular annual
divident payments. The regular
dividends are primarily a return
to the policyholders Of part of
their premium payments since
the death rate among CT policy
holders continues to be lower
than the rate upon which the
payments were established by
law.
Mr.. Fields reminded policy

M0rmOns Plan Peninsula-Wide
 Conference at SOldOtna Sunday

The Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints will hold Peninsula wide conference in Soldotna on Sunday, Feb. IT, with three spec ial services planned.
 President Milton Weilenmam of Vancouver, British Columbia, is coming from Canada to be in charge of the conference. Services will be in the Soldotna Elks Club building at 10 a.m., p.m., and the youth conference at 5:3O pm. Churches throughout the Kenai Peninsula are expected to be re- presented.

The Kenai Peninsula cheechako news., 1963-02-15

devoting their time and at their own expense to explain the teach ings of the Mormon church.
 Elders Gillings and Roach are serving in the Alaskan-Ca Canadian mission, which is composed of the State of Alaska, British Colum- bia and the Yukon Territory. Pri- or to arriving in the Kenai Pen insula, they travelled extensively in British Columbia. Their im- mediate plans are to reach all parts of the Peninsula "to pro claim the truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ"
 The Mormon" Church was or ganized in 193O and since then has grown to a membership of approximately two million per sons. The growth of the church is credited to the extensive mis- sionary program which is pre- sently being carried on by over 12,O0O full time missionaries throughout the world.
