Not Much Choice

The world is again in the midst of a
disarmament agreement and quite ma
turally many are hoping that this time
something will come of the talks.
While the history of the world of
recent years at least, has given some
proof that an armament race is often
followed by a war, we believe that the
proposed disarmament agreement which
the West and East propose is fraught
with great peril for this, the most pow
erful nation on earth.
In contradiction to this popular be-
lief regarding the ultimate end of arms
races, there is some evidence to believe
that the existence of super-bombs today
has been a deterrent from war, particu-
larly when the United States, which has
never waged ar offensive war possess
such weapons and the planes of the Stra-
tegic Air Command which can carry
them anywhere in the world.
The disarmament talks have called for
a United Nations Peace Force which
ultimately would be SO strong no nation
could challenge it. This all, from a con-
clusion we can form on the basis of past
performances, would be financed by the
American people.
This 10th Century Tower of Babel
would cause to lay down together in
peace and contentment the Bear of
Russia, the Eagle of the United States
and countless others, of many different
political, theological and social COM
plexions.

New Workers, after At days without a
local newspaper, have discovered some
aspects of the power of the press be-
yond those usually attributed to it, ac-
cording to Truman Temple, staff writer,
of the Washington Evening Star, after a
survey of our largest city.
The leading dealer in luxury cars told
Mr.. Temple: "Our sales are off rs per
cent. If you can't tell the people what
you have, you can't SELL"
A few blocks away in the famed cloth
ing district, he noted the padlocked
news stand of a blind couple, Nor
mally, he was told, they averaged $50
to $40 a week, but had not worked since
December 7th.
These two extremes in the merchan-
dising scale, says Mr.. Temple, illustrate
the way the current newspaper strike
has cut across all walks of life there.
SIT is creeping disaster, Nothing dra-
matte happens in any one day or week.

Up And Down Main Street
BY CLIFF URSETH

The Administrations policy of " news
management has been argued both pro
and con since the Cuban situation was
first brought to light to the American
people.
Now we find that we're in the dark
again because no one in the Administra-
ton seems to want us to know what's
gong on in Cuba. The result a
very confused American public.
On the me hand we have the Admin
lstratlon refuting charges that the Rus
sian buildup in Cuba has intensified
since the time we had apparently
clamped down on their military activity
In that country. On the other hand we
have members of both parties in Con-
gress who have presented evidence to
the contrary.
If this military buildup has been on
the increase, then the American people
certainly have been short-changed by
government officials who have denied
this and at the same time through their
management of the news, have left us
completely in the dark as to foreign
military activity in the once friendly
country just go miles from u shores.

A Void That Can't Be Filled

journalism is woven into the fabric of

Business in downtown stores, he
learned, has slipped from four to 20
per cent, with the large department
stores the hardest hit. Florists are hurt
by the lack of obituary columns, since
people cannot read of the demise of

adays, it's likely to be a lonely trip to
the grave"
AS of the 47th day, says the Star man,
the strike had "cost the newspaper in
dustry over $50 million in lost wages,
advertising and circulation. Some 10000
employees at nine New York dailies have
lost their jobs. Many are unable to find
temporary work.
The newspaper is indispensable to

Adoption of the 1868 Agri-
cultural Conservation program
to the needs of Richland County
was considered January IL by
representatives of groups and
agencies interested in conser-
walton of soil, water, wildlife
and forest resources.
Through the ACProgram, the
federal government shares with
farmers and rancherS the costs
of installing needed conServa-
ton practices on the land.
The Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation Office is
charged with the responsibility
of administering the federal
farm programs on the county
level. The three farmers who
make UP the county committee
as well as the office manager
and each department clerk,
perform the various duties of
Interpretation and performance
regarding the many phases of
the farm program.
It is the people who comprise
this committee system and
the office personnel who are
confronted from day to day
with the necessity of meeting
out in all fairness the proviS-
ions of the programs as set
forth by Congress. 1t is at the
county level where the proXi-
nifty of these many provisions
is fully realized, as each farm
unit is owned or operated by
different personalities and each
of these personalities subscribe
to the pervision of the overall
farm program.
In Richland County the crops
grown that are included in the
farm program are sugar beets
wheat, barley, corn, rye, fla2
and beans, as well as wool
Production of each of thes'
commodities has risen sharpl,
within the past few years, du'
largely to better seed, fertlll
zers, insecticides and bette
animal husbandry.
With this knowledge and tn
fact that this same progress
has been experienced nation

wide, considerable attention
has been focused on the need
for some type of farm pro-
gram SO as to bring about grad
ual adjustments in production
and marketing.
There is the Agricultural
Conservation Program which
ties in with the long range con-
ServationS plan for the county.
This program is essentially set
forth for the purpose of soil
and water Improvements of a
lasting nature on the farm or
ranch. The needs and provisions
of this program are carefully
reviewed and administered by
the County ASC in cooperation
with the Soil Conservation Ser
vice for technical and engineer
ing service; the County Exten-
sion Agent for feasibility as TO
soil and range management;
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton for long-range income
planning; and the Fish and
Game Department for consider
alton of the preservation of
wild life.
After consultation with these
Agricultural Agencies, the
County Committee with Fred
IverSen as chairman, is prepar-
ed to submit the ACP recon-
mendations to the State ACP
group for approval. Upon APP
| proval the County ASC Office
is then ready to accept applica-
ton from farmers for cost Shar-
ing on needed conservation
practices covered by the pro-
gram.
The members of the County
Committee would appreciate i
if the farmers would bear with
them in understanding tina.
they may not approve cos
sharing for a practice on which
work is started before applica
ton, for which such cost Shar
ing is made. This cost sharing
plan covers land leveling, til
drainage, recognizing irriga
ton systems, ditch line, stub

; stock water wells, range fenc
ing and weed control, etc.

Reader Calls
for Support
Eagles

- "0AbOAs
Our Sidney Eagles are ex-
periencing their first losing
basketball season in a good
many years. But when we con-
slider the law of averages, this
should not be surprising. With
twelve teams in the A league,
Sidney should be entitled to
one State Championship every
twelve years according to the
law of averages. Since the
Eagles have won five cham
pionships in six years, they
have actually won their share
of the State Championships for
the next sixty years!
Knowing our Sidney coach,
Jim Haugen, and the calibre of
Sidney athletes, VIC know that
we don't have to wait that
long for another champion
team. Sidney can be especially
proud that Jim Haugen is one
of the best hammered and
neatest coaches in the league,
in contrast to some coaches
from other schools that have
visited our gym. The Eagles,
too, are a source of pride since
they fight as hard as possible
for every game, whether they
win or lose.
So sports fans, lets all turn
out and support the Eagles all
of the way regardless of how
the game comes out.
Very truly yours,
A Sidney Sports Fan

We doubt if our n~egotiators and dis
armament folk have any cause for be-
lieving Russia, considering the path that
nation has trod; at the number of broken
treaties, at the fact the ruling class OF
Russia is the Communist party.
We may have forgotten because OF the
rift between Russia and Red China that
their ultimate goal, regardless of inter-
nal disputes, is how best to bury the
West.
The answer to disarmament proposals
such as this is for our nation-the last
bastion of freedom-to remain strong,
so powerful no nation can attack 1t from
without. Our people should also be edu-
Gated of the true nature of the COM
munist conspiracy. Most of u people
live in a most profound, shocking state
of ignorance now On this score.
We are being prepared and condl-
toned for surrender, for surrender to a
institution which does not even recog-
nize the existence of our God.
But this cannot be as long as a ma
ton which is guided by an athetistic
materialism which does not recognize
but only seeks to destroy u way of
life, has the power of life or death,
through the veto.
You can never trust the communists;
except on one point; that there is to be
no wavering in their goal of world con-
quest.
Can our nation, with any justifica-
ton, sit down to a disarmament confer
ence under these conditions?

Here's an interesting analysis we
picked up relative to hospital costs now
and so years ago.
Back in 1907 a man entered the hos
pital for a leg amputation and was bill
ed $211.10.
In August, 1862, a mar had a similar
operation and the bill came to $202.35.
Does this prove that hospital costs
over the years actually have dropped.
Well, not quite.
Last week, a man, 70, from Butte,
wrote to the hospital to ask for a copy
of his bill of 1907. can insurance com
pany wants this information so they
can settle a claim to furnish me with
an artificial limb" the letter read in
part.
The business office looked up the 55-
year-old record and found, among other
things, that the man still owed $99.65.
A comparison of the two bills showed
that in 1907 it cost $14.00 per week for
