Whither America? The papers
tell the story of a youth sabotag
ing a olane and bringing death to
more than two score persons
while a teenager kills a youth
who tried 1 to orevent a car theft
in suburban Washington. Am
erica is spending approximately
seven times as much for liauor as
for ail churches and chanties
while alcoholism is increasing ait
a rate six times greater than our
population uierase (It is estimat
ed that one out of every 11 drink

we express thanks for the boun
ties of 'the past year it would be
well to look on oUr failures and
profit by them Let us resolve
that the year ahead may be one
for which we oan be truthfully

Answer To Surpluses
The Washington Post and
Times Herald of today contains a
communication from Senator
Estes Kefauver reflating to the
farm surplus problem Sen. Ken
nedy (Mass.) addressing a farm
organization of his state recently,
criticized both political parties
for the mishandling of the farm
problem. The Kentucky Senator
wrote much concerning the Food
Stamp Plan which operated prior
to World War 11, to move sur
pluses into channels benefiting
those in the lower income brack
ets who were receiving public
assistance It was my privilege to
be associated with the operation
of that program in Philadelphia
and in New England It was one
program that iwas endorsed 1 by
both parties and one which truly
fulfilled the mission envisioned
by the original sponsors of the
plan. Those who were engaged in
the operation believed in it and
spoke in its behalf at every op
portunity. School teachers, public
health nurses, welfare workers
and municipal officials told of
families who were benefiting
from the program by better eat
ing habits, better health and im-

(Sen Kefauver suggests the a
doption of another Food Stamp
program that night be elastic in
nature to enable expansion or
contraction depending upon the
farm situation. It is my firm be
lief that such a program would
eliminate much of 'the surplus
and storage problem and at the
same time benefit all of the citiz

Instruments Society of Washing
ton presented a concert of chamb
er music yesterday afternoon
which was played upon replica®
of ancient instruments. Harpsi
chord, Viola d* Amore. Viola da
Gamba and treble viol (or Quin
ton) were used in conjunction
with the modern flute. When one
hears such a concert it is not diffi
cult to picture the (colonists “trip
ping the Light fantastic” of then
day and, m my opinion, it Was
much more graceful than some
of our so-called modern dancing.
It can be reported 1 that the aud
ience enjoyed the concert and
were generous in 'their applause.

Changes from
Range Must Be
Made Smoothly
Poultry farmers were advised
today by the / merican Founda
tion for Animal Health that the
change over -from range condi
tions to laying house confine
ment of pullets should be made
without a maior disturbance m
the flock
A smooth change-over from
range to laying house will help
the pullets winter better and lay
more eggs, the Foundation said.
Five steps that will help 'make
the change-over easy on the pul
lets are outlined by the Founda
tion as follows:
1. Change feed gradually.
Continue the range ration im
mediately after housing and
change slowly to the laying ra
tion Supply-plenty of water.
2 Encourage use of commun
ity nests. Start with nests on floor
and raise them gradually to nor
mal height.
3 Leave windows in poultry
house open to help “harden”
birds for winter conditions. Leave
windows open until temperatures
drop below freezing to help birds
get accustomed to severe winter
temperatures.
4. Start a culling program and
continue it all year- Severe cull
ing should not bo necessary if the
pullet chicks were of good breed
ing and they were well managed
during their giowth period.
5 Be alert for signs of sick
ness Prompt veterinary diagno
sis and treatment will help avoid
death losses and even serious
drops in production.
