Some City Streets Are Being Repaved Meshberger Bros, began the paving of several city streets this morning, and will probably finish this week, Bernard Clark, city street commisioner, v s a1 d this morning. Washington street from highway 27 to the Pennsylvania railroad, was the first to be repaired. Winchester street from Grant to Line street, the last of the Kentucky rock asphalt, now outlawed in Indiana, has also been covered. The rock asphalt chipped and peeled away. A strip on Seventh street between Adams and Jefferson, a strip in the Homestead, and a short strip on Parkview drive will also be repaired. Soil Conservation Districts Growing Indiana’s 21st soil conservation district is being formed, says R. O. Cole, specialist in soil conservation at Purdue University. In Boone county, a hearing on the petition for establishment of the district has been held, and preparations are being made for the county-wide referedum. So far in 1959 two districts—Jackson and St. Joseph—have been organized. Cole says that 1958 was' the first year in the history of soil conservation in Indiana, when three soil conservation districts were organized and activated: Howard, Jay, and Shelby. Adams county’s soil conservation district was* organized in 1953, as the 61st distrit in Indiana. There are five superintendents for the county districts, three of whom are appointed by a state soil conservation committee, two of whom are elected at the annual soil conservation banquet. This year’s officers are Herman Bulmahn, chairman; Richard Scheumann, Preble township, vice president; Ben MaGerke, Union township; and Ivan zelin, Monroe township; Ben Huser, Hartford township. Since 1940,. when the first district in Indiana was organized in Vanderburg county. 80 districts have been established. There are more than 2,800 such districts throughout the United States and its territories. Indiana’s soil conservaion districts are .locally organized and governed by a’board of unsalaried local farmers, Cole points out. These districts carry on a voluntary program of conservation and improvement of soil and water re-, sources, together with that of other natural resources.

New Milestone In TV Transmission NEW YORK (UPI) —American television viewers saw a hazy but easily recognizable image of Queen Elizabeth II boarding a plane at London airport today only two hours and 21 minutes after the actual event. A one-minute film of the departure of the Queen and Prince Philip for Canada and the\U. S. was transmitted from Eondon-to Montreal over the transatlantic telephone cable and then fed bv the Canadian Broadcasting Co. to the National Broadcasting Co. ixj New York for viewing over NBC’s entire 200-station network. The image received in America was distorted occasionally by flashes of light due to electrical interference on the transatlantic cable, but was satisfactory enough for those involved to claim a % new milestone in TV transmission. The Queen departed at 8:06 a.m. and the picture hit the American television screens at 10:27. In all, 2Vi minutes of film was transmitted across the Atlantic but only one minute concerned the Queen herself. The program ran 15 minutes in all, but most of its was devoted to a discussion of the technical problems involved. Although the system has been under test since March, today’s was the first public airing of a film transmitted over the transatlantic cable. The buildings and persons shown appeared as if viewed through a slight fog and the action was somewhat jerky, due to a reduction in the normal number of frames per second, but one of the commentators on the program proclaimed: “London is now only two hours away from the U.S. if we need to show it in a moment of importantance ... we will have transworld television in 1969 when the new empire cables are completed. It is a step toward international transmission of live television which wo hope eventually to achieve.” Baby’s Soap Pure castiie soap is best for bathing the baby.

Wheat Quota Vote Scheduled July 23 As required, by present law, a wheat marketing quota referendum has been announced for July 23, chairman James Garboden, of the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, announced today. Marketing quotas for the 1960 wheat crop have been proclaimed by the secretary of agriculture, as required by legislation whenever the available supply of wheat is more than 20 per cent above the normal supply. However, quotas will not become effective unless they are approved by at least twothirds of the producers voting in the referendum. If quotas are approved for the 1960 wheat crop, it will mark the seventh consecutive ’year they have been used for wheat. Wheat quotas and acreage allotments apply only in the 39 so-called “com-: merciai” wheat states, of which Indiana is one. The present law, the chairman explained, states that, to be eligible to vote in the referendum, a grower must expect to have more than 15 acres of wheat for harvest as grain in 1960. A wheat grower 1 who signs an application under the feed wheat provision permitting him to produce up to 30 acres of i wheat as feed on his fartn will not i be eligible to vote. Every wheat grower will be informed of thfe Th-j dividual wheat allotment for his farm in advance of the referendum date. ' As usual, Garboden says, the ASC committee will set up polling. places throughout the county sor 1 the convenience of farmers in 1 voting. Locations will be announced later by the county ASC office. ■ If quotas are approved in the referendum, the present law pro{ vides that farmers .who comply with their wheat acreage allotments will be eligible to market all their wheat without restriction 'A grower who exceeds his, allafrftent | will be subject to marketing quota penalties on his excess wheat if he has more than 15 acres of wheat j for harvest as grain. If quotas are | not approved, there will be no restrictions on wheat marketings. |
