April 11mportant Date For Wool Men Incentive Price Os 62 Cents Is Fixed April 1 is an important date for wool growers, according to Oscar T. Brown, chairman of the Adams county ASC committee. Wool of the 1956 clip sold by the grower April 1 and after will qualify for wool payments under the new program in operation for the first time this year. Wool sold before April 1 will not qualify for such payments. The program results from the national wool act of 1954 to stimulate wool production in the United States. As authorized by this law the secretary of agriculture has announced an incentive price of 62 cents per pound for shorn wool, grease basis for the 1955 marketing year. Payments will be made to wool growers when the national average market price for wool falls below the incentive level. Sellers of wool must save all sales slips and other evidences indicating producers, buyer, date of sale, and delivery and amount of sale. This information is needed to support the wool grower's claim for payment Sales records also are used to arrive at the national average sales price upon which wool incentive payments are based. The rate of payment to each grower is a uniform percentage needed to bring the average price all growers receive for their wool up to the incentive price level. This means that the more the individual grower gets for his wool the greater will be his total return. Since the incentive payment determination cannot be made until the 1955 clip has been marketed, payments to growers cannot be expected before the summer o' 1956. Girl Scout Sunday Brings Appreciation To Volunteer Worker This is the last of a series of articles published this week by volunteer workers in the Girl Scout organization in hopes that more people will volunteer to be Girl Scout leaders. “One Girl Scout Sunday we had the privilege of attending church in Clearwater, Florida. As we approached the church, we could see Senior Scouts and Mariner Scouts assembled with their leaders for church attendance. There were three leaders with the girls, varying in age from fairly young to middle-ages. The first thought that occurred to me as I observed them was “what prompted those women to become leaders and to devote their spare time to the Girl Scout movement?” “The fact that all over the world Girl Scouts were getting together on this Sunday for the same purpose, gave me a feeling of belonging—which is one of the aims of Girl Scouting. I was one with them as my girls will be, attending churches this Sunday. There was a sense of satisfaction and gratification connected with the privilege of being one of this vast corps of women who devote their hours to tlfte girls of this organization. It is a-privilege to see girls develop into young women through participating with them in the work of Girl Scouting. “These leaders must have felt the same as I.” This article was written by Mrs. Lowell Harper, a senior scout leader.
