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

final day of • the Gnange's three
day conference at the College. •

Frizzell Makes Speeches .
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

for the students to take the
speech instructor "for a ride."
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.
Resigns in 1920
In 1920 he resigned his posi

principal of the tHigh School for
Boys in - Reading, which position
he held until 1923. He then ac
