Aware of heavy penalty for

his best to keep his eyes open.
In spite of all efforts, he blotted
out standing up.
Awakened by a slight noise, he
raised his eyes and saw the Of

The' recruit stood for another

then lifted it slowly Looking
piously up at the sky, he mur

Plum Island Lab
Dedicated; New
Disease Attack
Ezra Taft Benson, United
States Secretary of Agriculture,
Wednesday dedicated the new
Plum Island Animal Disease Re
search Laboratory off Long Is
land with the statement: “With
the opening of this laboratory,
we launch the first full-scale at
tack inside our own borders on
the causes of foot-and-mouth dis
ease and other treacherous for
eign diseases This is truly a
great day in animal disease re
search.”
The Secretary cited the $2 bil
lion annual toll of animal dis
ease, “the biggest single drag on
livestock production.”
Declaring that .if foot-and
mouth disease ever became deep
set in the United States, he said,
“it could cost this country up to
one-fourth of its ‘ production of
meat, milk and other animal
products. We do not intend to
let ft gain a hold in this coun
try. We i are hoping to keep it
out.”
America is “on the threshold
jof the most challenging and
most prosperous decade the
world has even seen,” the Sec
retary said, adding that in the
past three and one-half years,
Federal appropriations for agri
cultural research have increased
75 per cent.
