TUESDAY MORMINIG, JITCLY 16, 1946-STATE COLLEGE, PA Grange Leader Says Subsidies Benefit Only Consumers Lashing out against subsidy payments and price controls, Kenzie Bagshaw, a National Grange executive committeeman and past State Grange Master, declared that food subsidies from the government operated to ben efit the city • consumer .rather than the farmer. Mr. Bagshaw spoke _ Thursday afternoon to more than 200 rep resentatives at the Leadership School for Grange Workers spon sored jointly by the Pennsylvania Grange and the College. Beg shew, a Hollidaysburg dairyman, urged farmers and members of the Grange to oppose the re enactment of price controls and subsidies. He charged that subsidy pay ments to farmers led the city consumer to believe that, through tax money, he was supporting the farmer. Subsidies, Bagsihaw said, destroyed the independence of the farmer, and tended to make him a ward of the government. He admitted that chaotic condi tions would reign for a short time ;after controls were lifted, but he said that recovery would parallel that following the first World War. TtiAgshaw spoke in a pro and con forum defba/ing national is sues fadiig the farmer on the final day of • the Gnange's three day conference at the College. • Summer DamOTo.:Meet For Tour in MI Building - .

But Is Good Listener Too Speech-making may be art, but there's one expert who thinks that listening to speech-makers is an even greater art. Jahn Henry Frizzell, who has made a lot of s peeches in his own time, also has proved a good lis tener. At last count, the College chaplain estimates he had listen ed to more than 30,000 speeches in his 38 years as head of the de partment. of speech, professor of public speaking, and chaplain. Frizzell, who retired on June 30 with emeritus rank, had been active in public speaking and de bating 40ore he came to the College, particiPEiting' in both ac 'tivities at Williston Academy and Ainhert College, - but'it was 'as an instructor of English composition •that 2 he came to' the campus in '1902. • "I taught English," Frizzell re calls, "but it also - was the custom to unload• on the 'greenhorn' of the department the jet , of teach ing E peeoh, in addition to his oth er 'cluities.'3 Going For. a Ride Frizzell learned, too, upon ac cepting his position at the College that it •was an old campus custom Attorney General To Speak At Education Conference Summer Session Students, Faculty Members To Attend Pennsylvania Conservation Meeting James H.

And the fact that he was younger than the majority of the students didn't improve the situation. While teaching rhetoric one night to the Class of 1905 on the fifth floor of the Old Main Build ing, the Class. of .1904 made every effort to break up the class, Friz zell recalls. "They opened the doors and threw ripe: tomatoes and other juicy fruits," .he said. "Then, they turned out • the.. lights' and pounded the .ventildOrs." But members' 'of the" Class of 1905 supported Frizzell': and ;after the class, much of which was con duCted in darkness and. With. the students unable to read their notes, they gave a College yell for the speech instructor. "It was the beginning of the end'of that custom," Frizzell says.
