Answers Queries On Wheat Allotments Wheat Referendum Only 15 Days Off With the referendum on wheat quotas for the 1954 crop only 15 days away, many questions about quotas and allotments are being asked by Adams County farmers -,of the PMA committee, ’Winfred L. Gerke, chairman, said today. Pointing up somt of the highlights of answers to questions on the program, Gerke explained that the result of the referendum determines the amount and extent of price support the wheat farmer will receive on his 1954 crop. All wheat farmers are subject to quotas and eligible to vote in the referendum if the acreage to be planteM and classified as wheat acreage under the program in 1954 is more than 15 acres and if the normal production is 200 bushels or more. It’s up to the wheat farmers themselves to decide whether the quotas is to be made effective or not. Many of the questions coming into the office on the effect of the referendum on price supports. Gerke gives this brief answer: If more than one-third ,of thi votes are against quotas, price supports to farmers who plant within their wheat acreage allotments will be only 50 percent of parity. Support is not required for farmers who overplant their allotted acreage. However, should two-thirds or more vote for quotas, those who plant within their whaeat farm acreage allotment will be eligible for commodity credit corporation supports at 90 percent of parity.

Questions ph allotments are common ones, too, the PMA chairman reports. He explains that the national allotment has been set by recent amendment to the law at 62 million [acres. This national acreage allotment has been apportioned among the states and counties on the basis of acre&ge seeded tp wheat during the preceding 10 years with adjustments made for weather factors and trends. Finally, the county acreage allotment is assigned to all farmers who reported wheat grown in 1951, 1952, or 1953. A mt- 1 -. Trade in a gpod Town —'Decatur

TAFT'S DEATH I s a g e One) assemble on the senate floor, but from desk the desk the cause was whispered among the .dead man’s colleagues. For Mr. Eisenhower and his White House and cabinet aides it was especially bad news. Taft had become a bulw’ark of defense in the senate for Eisenhower policies on most occasions, including more than a few which he could not personally approve 100 per cent. His support will be sorely missed. \ After its quorum call the senate suspended all business for the day and Sen. John W. Bricker, Taft’s Republican colleague from Ohio, began the |irst of a series of eulogies on the senate floor. With suspension of business for the day, the chance of congress adjourning tonight was gone. Trade in a good Town—Decatur

Devotional Reading: Psalm 110:8-1& Christian Home Lesson for August 2, 1953 YOU Can have a Christian town more easily thana Christian nation. You can have a Christian one-man business more easily than a Christian corporation. You can have a Christian church more readily than a Christian school. But you can come closest to a Christian group, 100 per cent, in a Christian home than anywhere else in the world. * • • Home Has Its Problems A good Christian horrie is not automatic. Its praises can be sung too loudly. In sentimental moods people talk and write 1 poems and even preach about the home as if

Dr. Foreman

it were just naturally a heaven on earth. Nonsensei ( Like al) good things it has to be planned and i worked put Or again, they talk obout tho Great American Home as if it were a special product of ' this American na-

| lion. But there were homes before America was discovered There are good homes wherever Christians are—in China. Africa, _ India, Fiji. There is no magic about America that makes ao American home the best on earth. It is Christianity, not race or geography, that makes the best homes.A Christian home in Madagascar is likely to be better than a nonChristian home in Memphis. But even a Christian home has its problems. How can old and young live happily* under the same roof when •‘happy" doesn’t mean ■ the same thing at six. sixteen and sixty? How can you have an Executive Committee (husband and wife) with no one to break a tie vote? How can a father steer between being too strict and not being strict enough? How can a growing child learn independence Without wrecking the place? Os course home has its problems. I4fe haf_ its problems, and you don’t get no o* m«n> «men every one concerned is a practicing Christian. | • I • e Some Christian Intentions One reason why a home can be more nearly Christian than any other social group, is that you can come nearer sharing the /same basic intentions in r that group than tn any other. One intention that must be woven into a true home is that of permanence. Homes cannot claim to be Christian if they are no more than campsites. If husband and .wife ' are not in it for keeps, they lack the first of all intentions that keep a home together, further, a home that is Christian will welcome children. If children are accepted grudgingly, if they are! thought of mainly as •‘mouths to feed,” “brats.” it is not a Christian home. Another Christian intention is the Golden Rule. “Be done by as you did” is somebody else's rule, not Christ's. If you go looking for slights and insults, if you go around insisting always on your “rights.” if you have a chronically unforgiving spirit, you dqp’t fit into a Christian home. • • • Christ in the Home

There is a motto sometimes seen on a wall: “Christ is the Head of This House.” What does it mean to have Christ in the house? His picture on the wall won't do it. though it may help. Pious mottoes won’t do it unless they express the real heart of those who live there. What does it mean to have Christ, not as an obscure occasional guest, not a stranger, but as Read of the house? He is Head: when his ideas are known, followed and loved. He is Head when every one has the habit of dunking. Is this what He would do? He is Head when his spirit Is in every heart Re said himself that be came not to be served but to and the Christian home is one where every member of it carries out that > purpose of Christ. When in a horhe i there is prayer each day in His i name—that is to say. when all the daily prayers of the family are not just “Ijimme” prayers but »ucb as Christ Himself would tndorsQ, when time Is taken out every day tor prayer and all together at least once in the twenty-four hours think quietly about what it means to be Christian, then It is more and more likely that Christ will be truly the Head of that house. The problems will be there, and they will not be easy even for Christians; but no problem of Christian living, even at close range. Is impossible when Christians work them out together tn His name.

Bobbitt today called the Indiana supreme court into a special session to consider the state's second appeal of the controversial Indiana j Bell Telephone company multimillion dollar rate case. The state public service comi mission took the case bock to the high court again late Thursday. Bobbitt immediately called for a special session "early next week.” PSC asked the high . court to prod Marion Circuit Judge Lloyd D. Claycombe into action. The commission asked the court to order Claycombe to follow legal procedure which PSC considered proper. Bobbitt said he wants the full court on hand to Consider the latest PSC petition. The judges are recessed for the summer. It was believed the session might be held Tuesday; The commission, Bell and Claycombe have been feuding about the utility’s rates since May. 1951 r PSC unofficially regards Claycorphe. as "favoring” Bell. : The lower court got the case in September, 105-1. when Bell appealed a PSC-granted rate increase Bell considered too low. ’Claycombe fixed higher rates, which netted Bell $7,200,00 a year more. .

PSC said Claycombe had po authority to fix rates and appealed to the supreme court. A month ago. the high Court agreed Claycombe overstepped his authority and ordered the case returned to PSC. When it was returned slightly more than a week ago, PSC said Claycombe did it in a manner which would “hamstring’ ’the com-' mission.. PSC claimed it would have to accept Claycombe’s findings apd try to establish fair rates from thatIn such case, PSC said, it could do , little but rubber-stamp the $7,200,000 increase and. it could not give a refund to Bell customers ,if lover rates were ordered. The commission then asked Clgycombe to modify his order. He took no action, and PSC refused to accept the case. The new-appeal to the supreme court was for an alternative writ of mandate and prohibition. The commission wants the high court to order Claycombe to vacate all proceedings taken in the Bell case from Sept. 19, 1951, to Jan. 30, 1952, to wipe out his recent transmittal order, and to “conform” to the previous supreme court order —which in the eyes of PSC means: Returp the case to PSC with no strings attached. A representative of the state attorney general's office, which filed the petition for PSC, said: “We believe Marion circuit court has misconstrued the judgment of reversal entered in the Bell case by the supreme court. Claycombe’s transmittal order, to PSC was not in conformity with the instructions given by the supreme court.” United States industry annually spends more than $2 billion and employs some 235.000 people in scientific research programs, reports the National Geographic Society. Last year, half the money was spent under government contract. apd 05 percent was devoted to three major fields electrical, chemical, and aircraft.' 1 ■■ ■ \ MTF m
