ers Home Administration, ac-
cording to George Lackman,
state director, is to work
towards the elimination of
rural poverty, the reduction of
rural under employment and
the strengthening of the fam
lily farm.
Says Lackman:
These broad scale goals are being
achieved by working with family
farmers on an individual basis, help
ing them work out a means of MAX
ing a decent living by acquiring the
necessary resources and skills. These
board scale goals are also being
achieved by strengthening the entire
rural economy, the communities in
which the rural families live.
FILA contributes to rural commun-
ity when the families we work with
improve their farm and homes, raise
their income and become more active
in community affairs. The money
rural families borrow from us to
spend for operating expenses, live
stock, machinery, building supplies
and labor is a powerful stimulant in
the bloodstream of rural trade chan
nels. The increased income of our
borrowers provide a further stimu-
LIANT.
Lackman said there are four prin-
cipal groups of farmers assisted by
the FILA:
l.. Established farmers who have
exhausted their equities and need |
assistance to regain a position where
they can obtain credit from conven-
tional lenders. Many of these farm
ers must make adjustments to keep
abreast of current developments in
farm technology.
2. Young farmers becoming estab-
ished who have little or no equity,
put do possess considerable potential
'or making success of farming. Also
farmers on small and low production
farms, who need to enlarge their
operation and make major adjust
nents and who have the talent to
10 so.
8. Farm families who need small
mount of credit to remain independ-
mt small holders and members of
he farming community. The majority
# this group is handicapped in some
way.
A. Farmers who have suffered I'M |
losses due to some natural {
isaster such as a flood, drought or t
Loans are made with the aim of l
strengthening family farming. In
general, a family farm may be de- t
fined as one which is owned and g
operated by an individual family, S
who do most of the work and man +
age the farm. Such farms are large a
enough to produce income for OPP L
Grating and living expenses, debt t
and a reserve, small t
enough so that the family can do
most of the work. a

FHA's BASIC PROGRAMS

|
FHA's BASIC PROGRAMS
Lackman stated that the basic pro.
grams of the Farmers Home Admin
istration are:
| Operating loans to assist family
farmers and ranchers in making i'm
proved use of their land and labor
resources and financing basic farm
adjustments. Loans may be used to
pay for equipment, livestock, feed,
fertilizer and other farm and home
chattel mortgages. These loans may
not exceed $4,000 to any one bor-
rover.
Farm Ownership loans are made to
enlarge, develop and buy farms not
larger than family farms and to re-
fiannce debts. These loans may not
exceed 100000 to any one borrower.
Rural housing loans are made to
families living in rural areas for the
construction and repair of needed
homes and essential farm buildings.
Water development and soil con-
servation loans are made to indi-
groups of farmers and rural
residents to develop water supply
systems for irrigation, household use
and livestock, drain farm land and
carry out soil conservation measures.
Loans to individuals may not exceed
S60,OO0; to associations 100000
when made from appropriated funds,
and $1,00O,0OO when made from in
sured funds.
Emergency loans are made to farm
ers and ranchers hard hit by natural
disasters, such as floods and droughts.
These loans may be used to finance
operating costs and replacement of
buildings and other damaged prop
srty.
Watershed loans are made to help
ocal organizations finance the de-
of land and water re-
in small watersheds.
LOANING
Through legislation passed by Con-
sress last year, Lackman said, FILA
eceived new authorizations for MAX
ng loans:
1. Loans for forestry purposes can
e made to enable farmers to carry
ut better forestry management prac-
ices, expand their forest resources
nd convert crop land to forestry
ses.
2. Loans can be made to individual
armers for recreational enterprises
nd to make loans to associations
CRYING farmers and other rural peo- t
lie to shift crop land into recreation /.

DANGER TO FISH
The state of learning on the effect
of detergents on fish is contained in
a study prepared for me by the Lii
brary of Congress Legislative Refer
ence Service
There are indications that the first
effects of increasing detergents in
our rivers, lakes, and streams will be
evacuation by fish of these waters,
rather than their wholesale destruc-
ton. Fish swim away from large
bodies of petroleum substances which
flow in their waiter. When the entire
stretch of their water world becomes
contaminated, they will attempt to
swim to whole new area.

THE SUFFOLK COUNTY
PROPOSAL

Confronted with the detergent
problem, American communities have
moved slowly and cautiously. Only
one governmental unit has elaborated
and put into force an effective code
for dealing with syndets in the water
supply. Suffolk County, N. Y, the
eastern half of Long Island, attacked
the end result of the long process by
requiring commercial laundries to fill
ter out waste detergents before dis
charging their sewage. This is AN ex-
pensive process.
1t seems inevitable that, as the ac-
emulation of ABS builds predictably
up, more and more communities will
be forced to adopt the rather cumber-
some and certainly costly methods of
Suffolk County. However, there is
another approach to the problem.
Since it is nationwide problem,
a nationwide solution is justified.
The problem can be attacked at its
source, namely the production of
synthetic detergents.
Legislation requesting the return
20 soap as This nat1on'S primary clean
ser is not justified. The change-back
would be enormously costly to the
companies concerned and it would be
justly resented by the American
housewife, who has learned to apprec-
late the many virtues of the syn
thetics. 1t is possible, however, to pro-
duce synthetic detergents so consti-
tuted that they will yield to the nor
NAL breakdown of waste products by
either natures bacterial process or
mans imitation of natures process in
OUR sewage treatment plants.

Saturn Booster Makes Fourth Successful Flight

l CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R - The Saturn super-booster, fore runner of a manned moon rocket, registered it's fourth straight test flight success yesterday and de- monstrated that it can operate if one of its eight engines fails.
 With its mammoth power plant generating 1.3 million pounds of thrust, the worlds largest known rocket broke away from it's launch ing pad at 3:12 pm.
 Performing with flawless pre- cision, the 165-foot projectile raced across a clear sky, climbing to an altitude of about v miles before plunging back to break up and sink in the Atlantic Ocean about 250 miles southeast of here.
 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that all phases of the flight looked normal.
 The brief seven-minute flight test was the last test for Saturn's first stage only. Flight tests for the second stage will start in few months.
 One of the Saturn's four inboard engines was shut off deliberately after 100 seconds of powered flight to simulate a failure.
 The Saturn flight was to have been the first half of a scheduled space doubleheader. But earlier, payload trouble forced a post ponement of an attempt to launch the Explorer 17 satellite.

Rescue Pilot
 Draws Reprimand From Superiors

WATSON LAKE, VT. R - Jack McCallum, who the Federal Trans port Department said took pictures of the rescue of Helen Klaben and Ralph Flores "for personal gain," says he does not own a camera and did not take one with ] him to the rescue scene.
 "I did take one photograph" :" said McCallum, Transport Dept. mechanic, in an interview. "When l got to Miss Klaben she pro- duced her own camera and asked me to take a shot of her.
 "She set the camera and after l took a snap I gave it back to her. I asked her if she would let me have a print when it is de- veloped."
 McCallum said the Transport Dept. lis trying to make me look the william of the piece"
 In statement issued in Ottawa Wednesday, the department said McCallum, a department employe here, took a number of pictures which he sold to an American magazine.
 The statement also said Me Callum did not actually take part in the rescue operations, was off duty without permission and hampered the operation by his presence.
 McCallum said he did not want publicity and "I took off because I wanted to help.
 "I was told by the official res cue pilot, Chuck Hamilton, that I was welcome to fly my own plane to scene"
 He said he landed at the scene to show Hamilton that it would be safe for him to land there also. He also said he climbed to the mountainside to keep Miss Klaben company and because he had first aid training.
 After about 40 minutes Hamil- ton came along. I then took my plane to pick up an RCMP officer and he told me to head back as fast as I could to wire Whitehorse for a doctor and a Beaver (air- crafD.
 q only wanted to help. Now it looks as if it might cost me my job."
 However, Leo Martell, manager of Watson Lake Airport, said no disciplinary action is planned be- yond a verbal reprimand given McCallum Wednesday.

Preregistration of Voters Dead Issue In This Session

JUNEAU R The Senate State Affairs Committee indicated, in- directly, today that the subject of preregistration of voters is a dead issue for this session of the legis- lature
 The committee reported back to the Senate this morning it's version of House bill making number of changes in the state election code.
 Chairman w. o. Smith had com mented earlier that the bill would be the only election code measure which it would report out to the Senate this year.
 The House bill was a House State Affairs Committee substitute for an executive request measure which would have provided for preregistration only in cities or boroughs where 5000 or more bal lots were cast in the Nov. 6, 1862, general election.

House COPS Accuse Senate Democrats of Showdown on House Bills

JUNEAU R - The Republican leadership in the House accused the Democratic controlled Senate yesterday of dragging its feet on the passage of House bills. Senate Democrats, earlier this week, had accused the House of stalling action on Senate bills.
 The House Republicans also charged that Democratic attempts to pull bills out of House commit tees - four such attempts failed Wednesday-were as inconsistent as allowing your neighbor to come over and run your internal house. hold"
 In a joint statement, House Speaker Bruce Kendall, Majority Leader William Boardman, and Rules Committee chairman C. M. Binkley, said:
 Bill to provide additional money for extension of the legislative session beyond 60 days was initi- ated in the Senate when that body introduced and passed an appro- priation bill calling for 10 days of additional legislative expense.
 'The Senate introduced the ex- tension bill on March 20 and pass ed it on March 23, indicating well in advance of the unofficial March 28 60-day date it's avowed inten- tion of prolonging this session of the legislature.
 "The House has uniformly and without any deviation set its work schedule throughout this session to give the Joint Finance Committee every opportunity to complete it's work.
 "The House has never deviated from setting a calendar of business on every legislative operating day. On the other hand, the Senate has actually failed to take up legis- lative calendar and just the other day was only in session for total of 28 minutes.
 "Other than administration sponsored bills introduced an d passed in the House and transmit ted to the Senate the Senate has not passed a single House bill of any substance up to this point.
 ''The Republican membership was given the operating control of the House in spite of the 2O-2O tie.
 ''This condition developed be- cause the Democrats were unable to solidify their organizational eff forts.
 Attempts of the Democrats in the House to take bills out of com mittees under these circumstances are as inconsistent as allowing your neighbor to come over and run your internal household"
