Data Completed On Conservation Survey The Adams county soil conservation needs survey committee concluded its work at Tuesday's meeting at the Adams Central school, compiling all the Information requetsed by the U.S. department of agriculture. Milt Spence, soil conservationist from this Decatur office, and Leo Seltehright, county agent, presided at the meeting. On National Scale Spence will correlate all the data on the county's crop, pasture, and forest lands and forward it to the state committee. From there, it will be diseminated to the agricultural marketing service. Agricultural research service, Indiana extension service, farmers home administration. U.S. forest service, soil conservation service, agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, Indiana agricultural experimental station, and the Indiana division of forestry. From the state committee, the data will be placed on coded IBM tape and put through a giant computer, which will return the results of the local group. The data will be put in published form for the national, state, and county level throughout the country, Spence said. He added that the prospectus of the survey was to project the planning of land use in the county some 15 years. At Tuesday's meeting the group closed out its study by dividing into three sections, each studying either crop land, pasture land, or forest. Spence noted that of the county’s 181.589 acres of cropland, about 109.242 acres have been adequately treated for conservation practices, or are not possible to treat. The 38 per cent remaining need conservation work. Urban Not Included Os the 217.837 acre? of farmland <not included urban, railroad, or water) the area was pretty well charted and sent in sot evaluation by the state and national experts. Spence, in commenting on the feasibility of a state park or lake in the southern end of Adams county, said, ''While it is feasible and quite possible, it is a long way off. Also, the fact that other areas may benefit from this Wabash Valley study group, should be brought out. The group must work with Illinois men and each must approve the plans of each other. And it must be remembered, that the Wabash Valley commission is only advisory in power and can not initiate action for project.” Window Polisher The white tissue in which gifts come packed in should be saved and used for shining freshly-wash-ed windows.

Cuba Demands Death Penalty On Col. Young HAVANA (UPI) — A government attorney has demanded death by firing squad for “Col.” Austin Young, of Miami, alleged leader of an anti - government band in western Cuba, and 30 years’ imprisonment for “Maj.” Peter J. Lambton, a Brltish- | born Amer lean said to be Young’s chief lieutenant. Aldo Prieto Morales also urged that 36 Cubans arrested with the two Americans after a skirmish in Pinar del Rio Province two months ago be imprisoned for 30 years. The 38 men were charged with plotting against Premier Fidel Castro and murdering a sol- | diet killed in a clash with the band. Young is a former resident of Indianapolis, but he left his wife and three children in Miami when he came to Cuba Lambton lives in Nassau, capital of the Bahamas. Government demands for the punishment of the two Americans came on the heels of the announcement that Argentineborn Maj. Ernesto “Che” Guevara, a vehement critic of the United States, has been appointed president of the Cuban National Bank. Guevara, a physician with little or no experience of banking or finance, replaced Felipe Pazos, a moderate who had been regarded as one of the most responsible officials of the Castro regime. Cuban and foreign businessmen expressed amazement over the choice of Guevara to replace Pazos, who was one of the founders and first president of the National Bank when it was set up about 10 years ago by ousted ex - president Carlos* Prio. 1 He resigned when Prio was overthrown in 1952.

Three-Inch Snowfall In Paris Os State United Press International Snow up to three inches deep fell on Indiana -on Thanksgiving Day and highways and streets in some areas were hazardous for a time. Weather forecasts had called for the possibility of 2 to 5 inches in central sections, but the deepest reported was 3 inches in the general area of Greenfield, with Anderson getting 2*4 and Indianapolis 2. South Bend and Fort Wayne had an inch, and there was little or no snow downstate. Highway department advisories Thursday morning indicated slippery stretches of pavement and slick spots provided death-traps for unsuspecting motorists. But only one of four holiday traffic fatalities listed icy pavement as a contributing factor. Temperatures likewise failed to fall to the depths forecasters had expected. Lows down to 15 above zero were predicted for early today, but the coldest reported were 27 and 28 at most upstate and central points and 31 at Evansville. Thanksgiving Day was rather cold throughout the state, with temperatures ranging from 31 at high points. Precipitation, part in the form of snow and part as rain, included .81 of an inch at Cincinnati, .98 at Louisville, .31 at South Bend, .21 at Indianapolis, .10 at Evansville and Fort Wayne, and .02 at Lafayette. The five-day outlook called for temperatures averaging 1 to 4 degrees below normal highs of 37 to 49 and normal lows of 21 to 32 during the period ending next Wednesday,. “Cold Saturday, moderating Sunday and Monday, probably turning colder Tuesday or Wednesday,” the outlook said. “Only light precipitation with chance of some rain or snow Monday or Tuesday.”
