Not all sculptured works of
art are born in bronze or
made In marble; "The Play
full Bathers" at the Washing
ton Gallery Of Modern Art
brings together odd pieces of
old rusty and corroded boil
ers to create a vital = and
perhaps more important to
many, an understandable -
piece Of very modern sculp-
ture.
In addition to this piece by
Frank Stankiewicz, there is
one by John Chamberlain
which is called silver
Heels" and is 46 inches worth
Of painted auto parts.
More traditional with re-
spect to materials Of compost
ton are PicaSso's male figure
holding a goat in his arms,
Giacometti's tall and gaunt
''Man Pointing" and the sim
pie Brancusi head.
The exhibition, which will
leave after tomorrow, is en-
titled "SculptorS Of Our
Time" and is the most extern
sive collection of 10Th cen
fury sculpture ever shown in
the Capital. The gallery, at
1903 Twenty-first street N. w.,

Information you may not have known
had it not been for some publicity we
received at a time when things looked
pretty slim for this corner Here's
something for those of you who have
gagged doors from pets who spend more
time in the house then out. A recently
introduced 12x18-inch door mat is avail
able that plugs into any electrical outlet,
the maker says, and sounds a chime
when the pet steps On it so you can open
the door for him. Your thumbprint may
be the universal credit card for the flu
ture. This one alarms me I'm afraid
my wife would wear both thumbs to the
bone before long. After selecting a home,
car, or dress, you would simply place a
card with your thumbprint in front of an
electronic scanner for instant Identified

Without it there could be nc
exchange of ideas or dissenting

1t is not illogical nor super

of the role that libraries play

Through reading, self-educa-

Grange Studies clearly indicate
that: a. Wheat acreage would
increase to at least IS million
acres, b. production would rise
to about l billion 800 million
bushels, c. the market price of
wheat will drop to about S1.00
and, d. the surplus will con-
tinue to grow by about 600
million bushels annually"
with an unfavorable vote
producer income would drop
to around l billion 600 million
"a loss of $500 million despite
an estimated harvest of SIS
million acres"
Can the farmers of Richland
County afford to lose "A of

In the Sidney Herald of APP

Blair made a very important
point. at would be a calamity
if the referendum should be-
come a political issue or a pres

Since the Farmers Union & the
Farm Bureau have opposite
views on the Wheat Referen-
dunn, l would like to quote the
National Grange.
With an unfavorable vote
wheat production would in
crease; Government-owned

Most of us concur that there

will look at the results to div
ersified farmers he will be able
to understand.
The certificate plan is a nice
plum for the wheat farmer who
has caused the surplus by plant
ing all the wheat he could re-
gardless of the market and sell
ling to the government and
thereby adding to the surplus.
He is now offered an oppor-
tunity to vote himself a bonus
at someone else's expense.
How about the farmer who
held his wheat production with
in limits or shifted to other
crops such as alfalfa hay, which
is classed as a soil conserving
crop? Now through new feed
ing techniques the feeding ra-
tions have changed to more
concentrates thereby cutting
the market for hay. Yet with
bureaucratic control they do
not recognize these facts and
this farmer is disqualified from
receiving the payments or GER
tificates.
Yet in order to enforce their
SO called voluntary program
they keep raising the propor-
ton of Federal crop payments.
Any farmer knows it is i'm
possible to maintain a constant
alfalfa acreage, with a good
stand, due to poor stands on
new seeding and winter killing.
Which means most of our ir-
rigated wheat farmers will not
qualify for certificates, price
supports or diversion payments.
This represents a loss of $50
on their wheat.
Now the political bureaucrats
move in and say we have to
maintain soil conserving acres
which in this case means al
falfa. After studying the wheat
legislation that will be in eff
feet with a yes vote and the
feed bill that is before the
house of Representatives it is
clear to anyone who will take
the time, just where we are
headed.
Can you visualize farming
whit an electronic brain in Kan
sas City making almost all the
decisions, after being fed the
data by a group of political ap-
pointees who would or could
not take into consideration
weather, soil conditions, labor
available, local markets and
hundreds of other things that
guide us today?
Under these conditions it
would not surprise me to re-
ceive a marketing card for cot
ton, rice or peanuts, but then
I suppose it wouldn't make too
much difference. I'd have some
wheat certificates or milk
quota I could cash in for dol
lars that wouldn't buy anything
anyway. And by that time
Mr.. Freeman or his contem-
porary would be getting Cuban
sugar for another sweetner to
get us to vote "yes' on another
commodity referendum.
No, sir, you can't convince
me a friend of mine would put
me under the provisions OF
supply-management that are
possible with a yes vote in
the referendum.

While eating in a Billings cafe Sunday
we witnessed this bit of conversation
and juggling among two ladies, a wait
ress and a little annoying slip called the
check"
1t went like this:
"IIl get it Hazel"
mo Ethyl. said I'd pay for the dinner
and I'm going to-"
"Oh pooh, you let me get it this time"
81 don't want to hear another word
Ethyl, I'll pay for the dinner"
At this point the waitress, who was
more concerned with the tip than who
was going to pay the bill, said:
"Iu put the bill in the middle of the
table and you two can decide who's going
to pay"
Now all of a sudden the one called
Ethyl apparently found that her arm had
shrunk because she made a very feeble
attempt to reach the check, only to be
outdistanced by Hazel. Ethyl then hast
lily began rummaging around in her
purse looking for a tip for the waitress
and sure enough she found a dime and
made a hasty retreat.
| tried the same routine on the wife,
but all l got was Listen kiddo. You
brought me in here so pay up"
This was shortly after we had received
the doctor bill, so needless to say Ethyl's
dime looked mighty important alongside
my nickel and a meek shat was a
very good meal"

goals, and has failed. Before
long someone may conclude
that governments can't farm.
