Savings Bond Sales Higher This Year Adams county’s U. S. savings bond sales for the first six months of this year were $487,074.90 compared with $485,023.18 for the like period of last year, according to a report prepared for T. F. Graliker. chairman of the county's U. S. savings bonds committee. Seventy-four of the state’s 92 counties reported sales increases over a year ago. The state’s sales figures for the first half of the year Were more than $7,000,000 ahead of last year’s sales for the same period—sßo,442,623 for the first six months of this year compared with $73,242,203 for the first half of 1957. To Extend Time Os Fund Availability Conservation Funds Approved By House Tuesday’s Congressional Record: official journal of what Congress accomplishes, shows (that the supplemental appropriation bill passed by the House Tuesday will extend the time for whiih presently appropriated funds for emergency conservation measures will be available. If appropriated funds are not used in the period designated, they are returned to the general fund. The supplemental act will alow .he unexpended funds of 1957 and 1958 to be used until they are exhausted. The exact amount this will make available in Indiana, or in Adams county, is not known at this time. Last week the department of agiculture informed Gov. Handley :hat if he declared Adams and 19 )ther counties emergency areas, federal funds would be available through the ASC program to help reconstruct damaged conservation practices on farms. Jhe federal government would pay % of the cost, the farmer the other fourth. This week Gov. Handley made the declaration, and Tuesday the House voted in favor of the continued expenditure of already aporopriated funds. This must now be passed by the Senate, and approved by the president before becoming law. All of man’s recorded history is less than the tick of the clock compared with the time that light has been on the way to earth from distant stars, says the National Geographic Magazine. Objects in heavens are seen as they were up to 10 million centuries or more ago. Today they may be entirely different or have receded far beyond the range of the largest telescope: Some may no longer exist at all.
