Jury Finds Four Not Guilty ofManslaughter

T P & W G uards A re E x on era ted In G rid ley C lash

A jury of seven women and five men at Bloomington Friday ac­quitted the four TP&W railroad guards of killing Irwin G. Paschon, of Peoria, after deliberating sev­eral hours. It is reported that the first ballot was eight for acquittal and four for guilty; then tfn to two for acquittal when an ad­journment was taken over night.The first ballot at 8 o’clock Fri­day morning was unanimous for acquittal.

State's Attorney Coolidge stated that he would ask that the indict­ment charging the guards with Browne's death be stricken. He pointed out that It would be nec­essary to use the same evidence in a second trial, making a convic­tion unlikely.

Dr. Robert Browne, of the Un­iversity of Illinois, who made the commencement address at the Qiatsworth high school last Thursday evening, portrayed a vivid mental picture of the ad­vance in civilization and the- as­sistance education has given to man.

He took up the four cardinal defenses of man, seeing, hearing, travel, and self defense. He spoke of inspecting caverns of the stone age in France and then stated that at that time man did not have very good vision because an eagle could “spot" food from a great distance In the sky and swoop down on it while man’s vi­sion was limited to a few feet; then he told how a horse or dog was able to detect sound and be alert to approaching dangers long before man was able from his hearing to do so. In self defense a lion or bear could deal a blow with a paw that will crush a man’s skull while man's blow with his fists fell far short. In the stone age man traveled by foot and few ran a mile in less than four minutes.

By the aid of the telescope and microscope man today can pene­trate great distances with his

hundreds of miles and the modern airplane carries man from New York to California in a day. A hundred years ago it took a wag­on train from early spring to late

New High School Gym Must Wait for Stable Times

President of the Chatsworth high school, C. C. Bennett, made an announcement at the com­mencement exercises last Thurs­day evening that will be of inter­est to all patrons of the school.

He stated that due to govern­ment restrictions and the reluct­ance of contractors to bid on any construction work at this time that plans for building the new ad­dition to the high school building were temporarily being held up. He stated that the architect had completed the plans for the new gym agricultural building and the changes in the present building and they had been approved by the board. It will be recalled that voters approved the expenditure of $95,000 at a special election held recently. The bonds were sold and the money turned over to the district by the bond pur­chasers. The funds have been turned into interest bearing gov­ernment bonds by the board and the money will be available when needed.

Mr. Bennett also mentioned that most of the faculty of the school had accepted terms for the com­ing year and that efforts were be­ing made to establish bus service to convey students in the country to and from school next winter.

Sarah Pearson, daughter of John and Hannah Hodges Law, was born December 5, 1853, at Utica, New York, she and her twin sis­ter being second of nine children. In 1857 the family came West and settled in Grundy county at Jug- town, near Morris, a village no longer in existence and which de­rived its name from a pottery bus­iness located there. In 1860 they moved to a farm in Livingston county near Chatsworth, in the neighborhood of the Roy Bennett farm. The land was all prairie, the village of Chatsworth was but three years old, and only two hous­es were in the territory between

1 their home and Gilman. They \ acquired land there and the fa- j ther received another forty acres from the government valued at $5 per acre, when he enlisted for the Civil War.

j A pioneer family, they joined others from the community in a

j westward move in 1886-1887 and took up a homestead in Nebraska,

' between Chattel, Neb., and Jules- burg, Colo. Later Mrs. Pearson and her twin sister eacli took up a homestead in the same neigh­borhood, living on them the re­quired time of the five years. Fol­lowing the death of her brother Charles,’ wife in Wyoming, she took his two sons, Chester and Ir­win, an infant, to raise.

In 1905 she returned to Illinois and was married on December 5 that year to John T. Pearson in Watseka. They resided on the

: Pearson farm north of Piper City until 1921 when they moved to the home in Piper City. Although her health had been gradually failing for several years, her last illness was of short duration.

Surviving besides her husband are two sisters Mrs. Millicent Fair- child of Long Island, New York, and Mrs. Daisy O’Neil, of Denver, Colo., and a number of nieces and nephews. The nephew, Irwin Law, who came to Illinois with her from Nebraska, preceded her in death a few years ago.

Mrs. Pearson was a member of the First Baptist church of Chats­worth for many years, retaining her membership there until her death. She enjoyed the respect and friendship of all those whose privilege it was to know her.

Attending the funeral services Saturday from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Read Oyler, Marion, Ind.; Mrs. Lucy Rebholz, Wabash, Ind., Mrs. Rethal Pearson, Con­verse, Ind., Mrs. Ed Weihermiller, of Goodland, Ind.

------------------------BRUER WARNS CLUBS OF WATER DAMAGE DANGERS

mmhwiRepresentative C A. Bruer told

Pontiac Chamber of Commerce and the retail division board that the drainage survey and federal flood control project have not considered *the possibility of seri-

I ous flood stages in the Vermilion i river east of the entry of watei I to be drained from iiO.OOO acres of land near Wing.

The tract, Rep Bruer said, is i normally covered with water at ' flood season and the government’s l plan is to drain into the Vermilion

river at Mouder’s Ford, east of Pontiac. ^

“While the draining of this land is a worthwhile project," Rep.

i Bruer said, "the engineers have not given ample consideration to

; the possibility of serious floods along the Vermilion, which might develop into a major catastrophe

I if this water was dumi>ed into the river without thought of its dis­posal.”

Mr. Bruer said that the Water- j ways commission had suggested 1 that protest be made at a hearing May 31 at Springfield. Reid Tom-

i haugh, by motion of the board was appointed to represent the Chamber of Commerce at this meeting.

The city council and farm bu­reau have filed protests, saying that no obection is made to the draining Of this land if the pro­gram does not stop at the place of entry Into the river, and carries on in the Vermilion. Blooming­ton Pnntagraph.

Experiments have shown that the killing of weeds is more im­portant than the stirring of the ground for the purpose of con serving moisture. It is now gener­ally recognized that the drier the season the less need for cultiva­tion. Even in arid and semi-arid regions, cultivation apparently re suits in little or no conservation of moisture. However, the killing of weeds appears to have been proved the most Important object of cultivation; except on very heavy soils which check^badly, it seems that cultivation ordinarily is necessary only for the control of weed growth.

Do N ot P ru n e Boot* Shallow cultivation is desirable

and beneficial, however, deeper and closer cultivation is less harm-

* ful at the first cultivation. Too often cultivation is practiced as a ’’stirring vof the ground” rather than "the killing of the weeds pro­cess.” Deep and close cultivation injures the roots, retards growth and consequently, decreases the yield. It must be remembered that the plowed layer of soil is the highest In available plant nut­rients and that It is far more val­uable as a feeding ground for the com roots than it is as a dry lay-

,er of soil functioning as a mulch.Experiments over a six-year per­

iod have indicated that "there seems to bo no advantage in cu l­tivating more frequently than is necessary to destroy weeds ami keep the ground moderately por­ous; tiiat shallow cultivation has never failed to produce an increase in yield over that of deep cu lti­vation;" and that "root priming has never failed to reduce the yield In a marked degree.”

A study made with eight com­parisons on dark prairie soils of north central Illinois produced re­sults which confirm the statement —that too many cultivations may be harmful. In every instance, five cultivations gave a decreased yield over the three cultivation system.

To put these better practices Into effect on the individual farms all of these experimental results must lie employed with "chocks’’ by the all important "common sense.” In some instances these results would not lx* applicable, however, where they may be prac­ticed there is little doubt but what the use of suno w ill give Increased yields and more profit from the corn enterprise may lx- realized. Furthermore, adjusting of coni growing by every farm er to

GRO W YOUR O W N P R O T E IN S U P P L E M E N T —Getting an ade­quate supply of protein supple­ments that furnish protein at low cost has been a problem during the past year. Should this situa­tion continue, Illinois dairymen with plenty of good alfalfa or clo­ver hay will not have to do with­out protein supplement this com­ing winter or pay high prices for them If they take the precaution of seeding a few extra acres to soybeans to be harvested for seed. Ground soybeans and farm grains mbied in the right proportion to fit the kind and quality of rough­age make a good grain mixture for dairy cattle. I t is desirable

) to add some bonemeal to this mixture. Eight or nine acres of soybeans will normally provide enough protein for a herd of 16 to 20 cows and the customary number of heifers and calves.

Weekly Farm Outlook

- - - B y G. 1* Jo rd a n

Grain prices are strong, with all at ceiling levels. Ceilings are bid for oats to August 15, and ceil­ings plus two mark-ups to July 15. Cattle prices fluctuated slightly with receipts during the transportation uncertainties, but the demand forJbll livestock and livestock prodtWts remains at a high level.

Commercial supplies of feed probably will be smaller this sum­mer than last. Commercial mix­ed feed output will be reduced about 20 per cent in line with cur­rent restrictions under govern­ment regulations. The combined disappearance of com, oats and barley per grain-consuming ani­mal unit on farms January 1 was about 8 per cent greater during the October-to-March period this year than a year earlier ond near­ly 16 per cent more than the 1938- 42 average. The use of wheat for feed during this six months* period was 28 per cent more than a year earlier. The combined stocks of com, oats and barley on fqrma and at terminal markets on April 1 were 10 per cent smaller than a year earlier. Stocks of com were the smallest for April 1 since 1937 and barley stocks were the smallest since 1940, but oat stocks were the largest on record for that date . The carry-over of stocks of hay on farms May 1 was the largest on record and 36 per cent more than on May l last year. The prospective 1946 oats acreage is 2 per cent larger than the pre­vious record acreage seeded in 1932. T*his would lx* nearly 3 per cent above the acreage plant­ed for the 1915 crop and about 13 per cent above the ten-year aver­age.

The number of eggs In incubat­ors on May 1 was 26 uper cent less than a year earlier. There was also n decrease of 63 per cent in the number of chicks booked on May 1 for later delivery compared with last year. This year's turkey crop is expected to tie 15 per cent smeller than the record crop last year and *10 per cent less than growers Intended in January.

The Department of Agriculture reported May 17 that food sup­plies In the next few months would bo ns large as last year, with the exception of fats and gruins. At least 3,000 calories a day will lx? available per person this summer in spite of the reduc­tions caused by large-scale ship­ments of meats, fats, sugar and grain overseas in the next few months. We shall have more food on the whole than during the years 1936-39. Those food pro­ducts for which supplies are ex­pected to be less in this period than before the war include some cereal products, potatoes and sweet potatoes, dried beans, fats, and oils, sugar, canned fruits and canned*fish. Offsetting these de­clines will be record or near-rec­ord supplies of fresh and process­ed vegetables, poultry and eggs, fresh and frozen fruits, canned fruit juice, cheese, fluid milk and cream, Ice cream and skimmed milk products.

Loans will be available on the I ms is of federal support prices for about 36 different seeds and seed mixtures o f’ hay and pasture crops. The operation of the loan program will be similar to that in 1946. Changes from 1945 Include the omission of loans on common timothy, common orchard grass, common smooth bromegrass and wheat grasses and the lowering of the support price for biennial sweet clover, Ladino clover and Sudnn grass.

IAA Recommends Adjustment In Meat Ceilings

To prevent an “unnecessarily severe liquidation of live stock and critical reduction in meat sup­plies," the Illinois Agricultural Association today recommended an Increase in livestock price ceilings, ^specially on hogs, to reflect at least part cf the large increase in feed costs.

In a statement issued by the IAA board which represents 127,- 000 Farm Bureau members in the state, it was pointed out that the recent Increase of 25 cents per bushel in the ceiling price of com was forcing heavy marketings of livestock.

While there may be a tempor­ary increase in meat production because of higher feed costs, the IAA predicted that after a few months the marketing of hogs and other livestock will be greatly re­duced, and supplies jf meat will be even less than the small amounts available in recent weeks.

"At the same time.” the state­ment continued, "unused corn may accumulate to form a surplus which would depress prices later."

The IAA also pointed out that the increase in corn price ceiling will cause a marked increase in corn acreage and a further reduc­tion in soybean acreage.

“If fats, oils, and proteins are needed as critically as we have been led to believe, it is essential that the price for the 1946 soy­bean crop immediately be increas­ed In proportion to the increase in the ceiling price of 90m," the IAA asserted.

Tractor Power Increased With Minor Changes

How efficient is your "iron horse?”

The reference, of course, is to the farm tractor which has taken some stifling cuffs during the war years because of lack of exper­ienced help to keep it in good running shape and also because of shortage of replacement parts

Tests have been made on some farm tractors used for eight to ten years by Champaign county farmers. Agricultural engineers at the University of Illinois con­ducted the tests and found that most of the machines could lx* made to give good performance.

11. P. Bateman, Illinois agricul­tural engineer in charge of the tests, reports that improved per­formance might result by correct­ing minor adjustments. For ex­ample, the |x>wer of one tractor was Increased from 23 to 28 horse­power by adjusting the magneto so that it would not retard itself when running. He added that the tractor used about the same amount of fuel per hour to develop the 23-hp. and the 28-hp.

The economy was improved fur­ther after the magneta adjustment by regulating the carburetor. The fuel consumption was decreased from 41 gallons per hour to three gallons per hour to develop the same amount of power, or the in­efficiency showed a waste of 10 to 12 gallons per 10-hour day.

After testing 12 tractors, Bate­man believes that many of the old tractors can be made to give good power and fuel performance by good servicing, correct ad­justment and timely repairs.

He didn't minimize the need for now tractors on many farms. But he did emphasize the fact that proper repairs at the right time can keep many of the old machines working satisfactorily. Among adjustments listed that need checking are the carburetor, governor, timing, manifold and the valves.

Soil conservation includes the production of crops best suited to the land, the growing of sufficient legumes find grasses to provide ni­trogen and organic matter, the ap­plication of needed soil treatment, provision for adequate drainage, and the use of supporting practices needed for erosion control. P rac­tical utilization of crops produced as the result of these practices is also essential.

Law On the Farm- - By H. W. Hannah

W ith receipts of dressed poultry at Chicago in April nearly four times what they were a year ago (one-fourth of the total coming from Califo rn ia), and w ith re­ceipts of live poultry five times and receipts of eggs double last year’s fiyures, something in the in­dustry is badly out of joint

In 27 tests at the University of Illinois on pastures that had been limed, phosphated, and reseeded to include legumes, an average of 236 pounds of beef gain was pro­duced per acre. A t current feeder cattle prices this return is well over $35 an acre. W ith proper pasture improvement the grass w ill not “ look greener on the other side of the fence.”

Experiments have shown that beef cattle sprayed with water- wettable D D T to control hornflies gained 50 pounds nwro per animal during the summer than untreated cattle. Th is spray contained 1.6 pounds of actual D D T per 100 gallons of water and was applied with a power sprayer at the rate of two kuarts on an adult animal and one quart on a yearling. The first spray was effective for two weeks, the second for three weeks, the third for four weeks, and the fourth for 32 days. Effective­ness depended on the proximity to untreated herds. On dairy cattle, m ilk production might he expected to be 5 to 10 per cent more on treated herds than on untreated herds, depending on fly popula­tions.

Twenty-three counties have in­dicated that they w ill enter teams in the Illino is Farm Bureau Base­ball League this summer, accord­ing to Otto Steffey, Stronghurst, president of the league. Steffey is a member of the Illinois Agri­cultural Association Board of D- reetors. Th is is the 10th season of play for (he Farm Bureau Base­ball League. The league was on an inactive status during the war, the last gafes teing played in 1942 and W ill o u n ty was league champion.

O ATS SHO ULD l»E GROUNDGrinding oats pays considerably

greater dividends than grinding corn does. Pigs eat ground oats more readily and in larger amounts than they w ill eat un­ground oats. In trials at the Uni­versity of Illinois in which whole oats, coarsely ground oats, and finely ground oats were fed free- choice with corn to fattening pigs, the pigs ate only 10 per cent as much whole oats as corn, whereas they ate 35 per cent as much coarsely ground oats and 90 per cent as much finely ground oats as corn.

Grinding oats also saves feed. In the Illinois tests this saving amounted to 27 pounds of feed for each 100 pounds of oats ground. In these experiments the oats (un­ground in one ease and ground in the other^were mixed w ith crack­ed com in the ratio of about one part of oats to two parts of corn, and the m ixture was then self-fed free-choice with a good protein supplement.......

Soaking oats is not a good sub­stitute for grinding, according to work done a t the Iowa Experiment Station; neither is there anything to be' gained by soaking ground oats instead of self-feeding them dry.

Savings as high as 20 per cent have been shown with fattening pigs from grinding other small grains compared with feeding them whole, iwhen hand-feeding as practiced. When self-fed, how­ever, ground wheat, barley, rye and kaffir have sometimes been no better than the same grain un­ground. llie saving to be expect­ed for grinding these grains when Ihey are self-fed is likely to be from 5 to 10 per cent in the ma­jority of cases.

Self-fed pigs Iced more leUure- ly than hand-fed pigs do and 'ap­pear to chew their feed more com­pletely.

H edge Fences—Different view-, points exist with respect to the value of hedge fences. Some peo­ple like them for their shade, beauty, posts and wind protection. Others dislike them because they impair the productive capacity of adjoining land, are hard to trim and harbor weeds and insects.

Because some people do not like the injury caused their land by ov­erhanging hedge trees the Legis­lature passed a law back in 1874 providing as follows:” . . . the owner . . . of a hedge dvision fence shall, dumg the year after such hedge has attain­ed the age of seven years, cut back or trim such hedge fence to a height not to exceed four feet, and shall at least once in every two years thereafter, cut back or trim such hedge fence to the heght of five feet; Provided, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to any hedge fence protect­ing either an orchard of buildings or windbreak, not to exceed thirty rods.”

The law further provides that if an owner fa ils to cut his hedge, an adjoining owner who is in jur­ed may cut it and recover the cost from the owner of the hedge.

This law seems reasonable. From the standpoint of farm man­agement, hedge fences cause loss because of their detrimental ef­fect on crops. From the stand­point of woodland management, hedge trees w ill make te tte r posts when planted in grove than when planted in a fencerow. Allowance is made in the law for wind pro­tection. Furthermore, the law ap­plies only to division fences, and a farm er can have all the hedge fence he wants so long as it does not overhang or adjoin his neigh­bor’s land.

Anyone interested in reading the laws with respect to hedge fences may do so by referrm " to Chapter 54 of the Illino is Revised Statutes. Sections 3 and 23-25. Copies of the laws on hedge fences may be procured by writing to the Secretary of State, Springfield, I l ­linois.

Farm Sports FestivalCommittee Making Plans

The members of the state com­mittee for the Annual Illinois Farm Sports Festival to ba held August. 29 and 30 at the U. of I . , formulated some of their plans at a recent meeting in Chicago.

The Administrative committee recommended that archery, golf and bait casting be eliminated in the 1946 Festival. New events recommended were a Rura l Youth soft ball division, and volley ball. Ping pong was added to the wo­men’s events.

"HAIL STONES AS BIG AS NEST EGGS"In the quiet of hi* banker's office, a farmer sits and talks about a hail storm. He tells no tall tales about hall stones as big as nest eggs. They were just little stones—but they cut his growing corn to ribbons.

They were just little stones, BUT B IG G E R THAN THIS FARMERS NEST EGGI Now, he must borrow heavily to operate for another year.

Hail doesn't always strike on the "other fellow's farm." But the dan­ger of hall lost need not worry a wise farmer; protection through a Farm Bureau policy for his growing crop* costs very, very little. See your Farm Bureau Insurance repre­sentative today.

Clinton Oats Have Superior Rating

Clinton, a new variety of oats which is superior in stiffness of straw , test weight, yield, aod oth­er characteristics to other varie­ties of oats now being grown in I l ­linois, has been distributed to many counties this year.

Clinton oats are highly resistant to the races of crown (lea f) rust commonly found in Illinois but is, susceptible to race 45 which has teen found during the past two years. However, the latter named rust is not common in Illino is and it developed too late to cause re­duction in yield. Also, Clinton is resistant to stem rust.

During growth and after ripen­ing, Clinton stands up better un­der average growing conditions than a ll other varieties. In high fe rtility land and in seasons when weather conditions favor lodging it is markedly superior in standing ability.

Clinton does not t ille r freely and therefore is a good companion crop for Legumes.

Seed CharacteristicsClinton is classed as a yellow

oat. I t produces a plump, th in­hulled seed which has laveraged one to two pounds higher in test weight than other varieties, in­cluding Columbia, Marion, Tam a and Vicland.

YieldThe yield of the Clinton oat has

been higher over a four-year per­iod than that of other varieties grown in the variety yield tests conducted at Mt, Morris in north­ern Illinois and at Urbana in Cen­tra l Illino is. A t Alhambra in southern Illinois it has yielded a little less than Columbia, Tam a and Boone.

HarvestingCare must be taken that C lin ­

ton is completely ripe before it is harvested. The straw is large and ripens slowly. The best method of harvesting is to windrow first and then pick up and thresh w ith a combine. However, because C lin ­ton has a stiff straw that does not lodge when ripe, it can be har­vested w ith a combine without windrowing. I f it is cut w ith a binder before the straw is com- pletly ripe, the straw and grain are like ly to spoil in the shock.

A ll farmers who seeded sm all plots of Clinton oats this year should get their applications for certification of their seed in to the Crop Improvement Association right away.

Individuals who are interested in obtaining Clinton oat seed for next year should contact the Farm Bureau office for the names of this year's producers of Clinton oats or refer to the April 18 issue of the Chatsworth Plaindealer where a complete list appeared.

The Chatsworth fire siren re­fused again to blow Friday eve­ning when it looked like there was a fire in the business district. The plan of sounding the siren at 12 noon was not a bad idea and was followed for years until a few months ago. To know that the siren is in order might be worth the effort to sound it at

------------- o-------------THIS MIGHT WORK IN IJYT.NGSTON COUNTY, TOO

Iroquois county is considering ' what seems a worth while pro- 1 ject. The county home which now houses about eight people, would be converted into a convalescent , and nursing home, says rhe Wat- seka Republican. I.ike most oth-

I er communities, the hospital in Watseka has reached its capacity and scarcity of materials makes it impossible to enlarge it at this time. H. C. Pollitz, chairman of the Illinois Public Aid Commis­sion recently reported that there are 700 persons over 05 years of age, 305 children under 10 years, and 11 blind persons in the coun­ty who are receiving aid from the state commission. The chronical­ly il! people in this group cannot he eaied for in the hospital, but should be provided a modem nursing home at the county farm.

P'rorn 43 to 00 patients could Ik* prov ided for at the nursing home, which would solve for some time the cramped condition at the hos­pital. The buildings on the 300- acre county farm now are hous­ing only eight or nine people, Mr. Pollitz pointed out. This is too small a group to be served by so large an investment.

It would be necessary for the county board to appropriate about $15,000 to make the necessary changes at the county home. The state would not pay any of this amount, but would Ik* willing to pay for the care of all patients under its supervision. The own­ership and management would re­main fully in the board of super­visors; the state being interested only in giving the best care pos­sible to the needy people under its responsibility.

Four classes of patients would be cared for under the new set up at the nursing home; the county poor, for wnose care the county pays; persons over 65 who are ill and needy; the chronically ill, under 65 years of age; and the convalescent persons, many of whom are able to pay for their care, but have no place to go, and can find no one to take care of them.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light.What so proudly we hailed, at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad tripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof thru' (he night, that our flag was still there..Oh, say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave,O'er the land <>f the free, and the home of the brave?

ALLOTMENTS FROM GAS TAX INCREASE

Ford county received §29,831 in allotments from Illinois state gas­oline tax receipts in 1945, com­pared with $25,309 in 1944, an in­crease of $4,522.

It is declared the increase was due to rising gasoline consump­tion in the last six months of the year, following the removal of wartime rationing.

For Illinois as a whole, allot­ments to counties and cities from 1945 gas tax receipts totaled $17,- 649,026, compared with $16,332,891 in 1944, a rise of $1,316,222.

Concerning the outlook for 1946 a stotement by Barcus, Kindred & Company says: "Illinois counties and towns will benefit from stead­ily increasing gasoline tax allot­ments in months to come. These funds will help them meet ex­penditures for street and highway improvements which were neces­sarily delayed during the war.

Applying Asbestos Sidings

ASBESTOS cement siding shin­gles have proved so effective

in protecting farm dwellings and service buildings that interest in their use has grown rapidly in re­cent years.

This modern building material can be applied easily and quickly over old sidings or sew sheathing by anyone who is familiar with the application of ordinary siding ma­terial or will follow the simplo in­structions furnished with the ma­teriel. In the case of old sidewalls, it is necessary to nail down loose boards and to remove batten strips to provide a relatively smooth and sound surface for the sidings.

To insure maximum weather- tightness, the sidewalls generally are covered with asphalt saturated felt before the asbestos shingles are applied. A waterproof backer strip, as shown in the illustration. Is furnished with the asbestos sid­ings and used under the shingles a t each vertical joint to keep out water and moisture.

Asbestos sidings should always be applied in dry weather. Use nails long enough to penetrate well into sound wood, bat not so longthat they will project through the sheathing. Before sidings are put in place, asbestos caulking puttysheathing. Be

should be applied to the sheathing or old surface where they rfre to butt against the wood trim, nut tonry or other material.

THE CHATSWORTH PLAINDEALER, CHATSWORTH, ILLINOIS

Terminal LeaveIn July 1876, the War Depart­

ment issued an order granting terminal leave pay for officers upon being separated from the service. This order was issued to grant ordinary leave of absence, which had accrueud to officers while on active duty, and which accumulated leave might be used before final separation from the service. Such terminal leave was for a period not exceeding 30 days in one year, up to a maximum 120 days or four months for four years’ service. While this law was in effect after World War I, it was non-operative, however, someone “dusted off ', this old law right after World War II with the result, all officers of this war either have or will receive termi­nal leave pay. When the boys in "the ranks" teamed of this, the

hue and cry went up that they, too, because of arduous and con­tinued service, were entitled to similar terminal leave pay. Vet­erans’ organizations Joined in the demand and numerous bills were introduced to make such pay ap­plicable to enlisted personnel. The Military Affairs Committee held hearings and favorably re­ported out such a bill. It will soon be considered by the House. The best estimates from the War Department on what the cost of such legislation might be ranges from three to eight billions of dollars. In addition to this, it is expected that tens of thousands of people will be required to search all records in an effort to determine who and hefw much leave pay each soldier or sailor is entitled to. I t’s a herculean task and may never be satisfac­torily worked'out.

Debt LimitIn the last ten years, during

the period of deficit spending and while huge war expenditures were required, the Congress from time to time raised the national debt limit until the figure was set at 300 billion dollars. Now the Sen­ate Finance Committee has taken action towards reducing such debt limit to 276 billions. While it could be said this action starts us off on a program of “pay as you go" no such assurance is ours simply because this limitation of 275 billions has been fixed as a figure not to be exceeded. What Uncle Sam really must do, is see to It that our annual outgo does not under any condition, exceed our annual intake, and that bal­ances created will systematically apply toward reducing our nation­al debt. Somehow the whole na­tion and congress, too, must be ; awakened to the fact that con-1 tinuous deficit financing is the; road to national bankruptcy.

Straws In the WindMany people In this country

seem to bo so wrapped up in their own affairs that they give little | if any attention to matters of l government, unless, of course, the | problem directly falls on their j doorstep and affects their every j day life. The unrest, the turmoil and distorted thinking of many J countries of the old world no I longer leaves any doubt with us | but that freedom of the Individual j all over the globe is fast fading away. While England Is our j friend and neighbor, and while w e! look upon her as a democratic country, the words recently ut­tered by Harold Laski, Chairman of the British Labor Party, might well give all of us much concern. He states. "To those who say we have to Choose, as I do not be- J lievc we have to choose- between j the Soviet Union and the United I States, with its passion for free | enterprise which is not free and j is not enterprise, we, the I.abor J Party, stand four-square behind ; the Soviet Union.” Possibly this i is only Mr. I^iskl’s view ns repre- j sentative of a minority group,' hut it is a straw In the wind.

Pcttinglll says “in the bad, old days, if you had good teeth and I were wary of strangers, you bit | every silver dollar offered you In trade. If you had store teeth, or none, you tossed the buekeroo on the table and listened to its ring, If any. Then you looked Into

I the horse's mouth and examined his legs for spavin." It’s getting high time our people start sinking their teeth Into what is going on in government today to quickly find out for themselves why we are losing rights and privileges to which we are entitled. At a re­cent meeting of the newly organ- lzed-“Natlonal Committee to Win- the-Peacc” organization, Secre­tary Wallace was applauded, Herbert Hoover was booed and hissed, while President Truman was blasted for his foreign policy toward Russia. What kind of a pressure group do you think that will be? Doesn’t look like Amer­icans at work In the best Inter­ests of their country. There are 83,500 missing war dead whom the Army Is still searching for. The Treasury recently reported that slightly less than 80% of all savings bonds issued since May 1941 are still In the hand of the original owners. ’

! in the state.The program on Wednesday
