Some concern was registered because there was a big difference between what the grand champions brought, and what some of the breed champions and others sold for. This is understandable, especially on the part of the owners of the animals and their friends and relatives. But all of us should <take a second and closer look at what actually happened. In the beef sale the grand champion brought $1.06 a pound. The animal weighed 1,010 pounds, for a total selling price of $1,070.60. This is a very high price. To find out if this is a normal 4-H price, we checked figures at other fairs. In the Randolph county fair this year, the highest price ever paid for a 4-H teer was paid — it was $331.61 for a 1,195 pound animal; this is 27.7 cents a pound. The best per-pound price was 32% cents. In other words the Adams county 4-H beef average of 39.87 cents was seven cents a pound higher than the highest paid at Winchester. At Portland, the grand champion sold for 77.5 Cents a pound, almost 30 cents a pound less than in Adams county. The total price was $763.38. The average price in Jay county was 35.5 cents per pound, as compared with 39.87 in Adams county. It is true that the reserve champion at Portland brought 50 cents a pound; but after all, it is possible for the reserve and breed champions to bring more if the grand does not go too high. Those interested in buying do not have unlimited funds — if they pay a very high price for one animal, then they must cut down on their second and third animals. In the barrow sale, a sharp drop in hog prices during the past year was reflected in the sale. This is to be expected. At Portland the grand champion barrow sold for 52.5 cents; at Winchester, 25 cents. In Adams county the grand champion sold for 75 cents. Market price is around 15 cents a pound at the present time. The Adams county average per pound was 25.49 cents, nearly 10% cents higher per pound than market. The average price per barrow was $49.80, as compared with $34.60 at Winchester. At Portland the 71 barrows there averaged 56.75 each, and almost 29 cents a pound, or about twice market price. Adams county sold 41 more animals, and still had a good average price. i In other words, the Adams county sale compares very well with the other 4-H fairs in this area. The prices brought by the grand champions are much higher than those at other fairs. This gives every boy and girl a real goal to shoot at — the grand championship! They can be well assured - that the grand champion in Adams county will bring a good price, more than rewarding them for diligent work all next summer!

New Snarl In Effort To End Steel Strike NEW YORK (UPD — Efforts to bring agreement in the four-week-old steel strike were snarled again today with a new sharply critical exchange between union and industry leaders. United Steelworkers of America (USW) President David J. McDonald, who was absent from federal mediation talks here Monday said in Pittsburgh he was “sick of that show in New York” and indicated he would not return until industry negotiators are replaced by “people of authority." R. Conrad Cooper head of the four-man committee representing 12 major steel firms, with which the union began negotiating three months ago today, retorted quickly that McDonald knows the team has “full authority” to bargain. Cooper said he would be present at today’s mediation session despite the absence of McDonald. “He would be well advised to spend less time characterizing us as messengers and more time coming to grips with our message,” Cooper said. That message, he said, is “that an inflationary . increase in wages and benefits would be contrry to the best interests of all concerned.” That message has been rejected by the union since it was first presented Jay the industry, in advance of contract talks. The USW, which called 500,000 steelworkers on strike on July 14 in an attempt to win a 15-cent wage package, has claimed the companies can afford to pay tht out of increased profits without raising their prices. Federal mediators said there has been no change in the position of either side on this sticking point since the strike began. McDonald had previously announced he would be away from negotiations for the early days of this week in order to visit picket lines a«d conduct other union business.. Papal Dispensation Granted For Friday CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (UPD—Pope John XXIII Monday gave permission to Roman Catholics throughout the world to eat meat this Friday because it comes on the eve of the feast of the Assumption. . The papal dispensation from abstinence is a usual measure when a Friday coincides with or precedes a major holy day. The feast of the Assumption this year comes on a Saturday, Aug. 15. Hailstones Inflict Widespread Damage United Press International Hailstones the size of baseballs rained down on parts of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota Monday night, causing widespread dammar windows were broken, fields of corn destroyed and traffic was stalled by slippery highways. No one was reported injured. o “I’ve never seen such icy roads, said a Greyhound bus driver at Eau Claire, Wis. “It’s worse than winter.” A traffic officer in the Menominee area said the “fields were covered white with hailstones. It Inoirfd like a winter night with a fresh layer of snow.” Sheriffs officers said some of the hailstones were up to nine inches in diameter but most were one to three inches. Deputies said there were between 3 and 6 inches of water in 200 or 300 basements in the Eau Claire area. Menomonie, Eau Claire and Elk Mound reported more than five inches of rain in less than seven hours. More than 100 car windshields were reported smashed by the chunks of ice. Trees, power and telephone lines were felled by winds gusting up to 60 m.p.h. Work crews toiled through the night to repair a washed out section of the main Chicago and North Western Railroad track in Eau Claire. Tomah, Wis., reported a severe electrical storm with wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. while Madison had gusts to 40 m.p.h. Hail was reported near Rochester, Minn. Elsewhere around the country, widely scattered showers fell over the northern and central Plains and portions of the northeast states, Arizona and New Mexico. Widely scattered afternoon showers were forecast for most of the western half of the country Tuesday. Generally fair weather was expected in the middle Mississippi Valley, the Ohio Valley and the southeast.

Gov. Faubus Silent On School Problem LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPD— The lone Negro scheduled to integrate Central High School Wednesday said today he isn't disturbed about white teen-agers warning there will be trouble. Jefferson Thomas, 17, said “they may throw me out, but they can’t keep me out.” He is one of the original “Uttle Rock Nine” that integrated Central behind federal bayonets in 1957. The Little Rock school board said it would not “stand for any foolishness” and promised school officials full support in any m&ve to maintain discipline when the four public high schools reopen. Gov. Orval Faubus, meanwhile, remained silent on whether he plans to take action to try to prevent integration for the third straight year. Segregation leaders said they were confident Faubus would make ,some move. But they scheduled a rally Wednesday to urge Faubus to act and instigated a "buyers’ strike” against Little Rock merchants who employ Negroes —a move that so far has failed to catch hold. The school board approved the integration of six Negro students, atthree at Central and three at Hall. Some 54 other Negroes who asked to attend Central or Hall, were assigned to Horace Mann (Negro) High School. The board planned to act tonight on requests from 15 that they be re-assigned to Central. Thomas said he probably would be the only Negro to enter Central immediately. Carlotta Walls, one of the two others, is attendI ing summer school in Chicago land will not finish until Aug. 21.
