Adams Central Scores Fourth Straight Win The Flying Jets of Adams Central cpntinued to fly high Friday evening, chalking up their fourth victory without a defeat with a 60-49 win over Lancaster .Central at the latter’s gym. The Jets jumped into a 10-5 lead at the end of a low-scoring first quarter, and stretched their margin to 24-17 at halftime, and 42-32 at the end of three periods. Gary Clouse, the county’s fifth leading scorer while at Pleasant Mills last season, came up with his best point performance as a Jet, canning 16 points. Tony Ehrsam, the club’s leading scorer, also pumped in 16. Sophomore guard Roger Schnepp contributed 13 and Bill Hirschy added a fine job rebounding-wise. Netherland's 15 markers paced Lancaster. Coach Vernon Zuercher’s crew, which claims wins over Monmouth, Leo and Decatur also, will go after number five without a loss next Tuesday when they entertain the Decatur Catholic Commodores at the Monroe gymnasium. \ Adams Central FG FT TP Egly 2 3 7 Ringger 113 Leyse ... 0 3 3 Hirschy 10 2 Clouse 8 0 16 Schnepp 4 5 13 Ehrsam6 4 16 Totals 22 15 60 Lancaster FG FT TP Rupright 2 3 7 Kleinknight 2 2 6 Ailasgow 0 5 5 Tlrmsby 3 17 Troxel .. 4 0 8 Netherland7 1 15 Books .. 0 11 Totals 18 13 49 Preliminary Lancaster, 32-30.

FARM — CITY WEEK: ’ 1 In proclaiming the week of No- 1 vember 22-28 as national farm- 1 city week. President Kennedy re- j quested that leaders of labor unions, civic associations, business i groups, women’s clubs, and all ] consumers join in their obser- 1 vance along with farm and other rural people as evidence of the interdependence and the strong i ties that bind rural and urban citizens: —-- : The president urged the department of agriculture, the landgrant colleges and universities, the cooperative extension service, and all appropriate officials of the government to initiate, and to cooperate with national, state and local organizations in preparing and carrying out programs for appropriate observance of national farm — city week. This would include public meetings, discussions, exhibits as well as press, radio, and television features. He emphasized especially the opportunities opening to all citizens through economic development of rural areas, including new and expanded outdoor recreation enterprises on farms, small watersheds and privately owned woodlands . Cooperation and understanding between rural and yr ban is an essential part of the economy of the nation. A PLACE TO LIVE: The department of agriculture announced November 3, the publication of the 1963 yearbook of agriculture, a far-ranging examination of the effects of urbanization and industrialization on m an y aspects of American life. Entitled,. “A Place to Live”, the 608-page book cites a need for discussion, plans, and action by all Americans regarding the use of resources, public serviced in communities, rural redevelopment, educational and economic opportunities for farmers and others whom technological changes have put at a disadvantage, the growing demand for outdoor recreation, urban and suburban sprawl into farmlands, parks, open spaces, the functions of governing bodies, the management of water and air pollution, and much more. The 79 chapters were written in nontechnical, informative style by 92 men and women, among them officials of state and federal government, college professors, garden club leaders, planning officials, sociologists, ahd econmists. Some of the specific topics, which indicate the scoop, are; Multiple uses of forests and other resources, agriculture in the national economy, values of farmland, farming on the urban fringe, community leadership, the small town, rural housing, finances in communities, technical services in planning, conservation in the suburbs, planning and zoning, highways, garden centers and clubs, family and part-time farms, and examples of solutions to problems brought about by growth and change. Orville L. Freeman, secretary of agriculture, in a foreword, writes: “This is a time and this is a book that calls for discussion, cooperation, and vision to channel great forces of change in directions that ensure th a t America “ will always be a good place to live. We have an opportunity to bring closer together all parts of our population, our economy, and our geography and so to help us realize that die prosperity of city people is tied closely to the wellbeing of rural people, that many traditional distinctions between city and country no longer are, tPuej-aKid .lhat the one nation, indivisible." • Copies of ’’’A Place to Live” can be bought at $3.00 each from the superintendents of Documents,, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington D. C. 20402. No person or unit in the U. S. department of agriculture has copies for general distribution. 7 SLIGHT CHANGES LISTED FOR 1961 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: *" Eligibility for price support on 1964 feed grains requires participation on the 1964 feed grain program. The 1964 program will be simi-

UY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR, INDIANA

lar to the 1963 program except for these slight changes: (1) The top limit on diversion is increased from 40 to 50 per cent or 25 acres, which ever is greater; (2) In computing division and price support payments, the average yield figures will be based on the 4-year (1959-62 > average instead of the 2year (1959-60) average; (all to be determined by use of a county rate established by the state committee); (3) While the total price supports for the three grains in 1964 are unchanged from 1963 levels, a slightly larger proportion of the supports will be available as loans o rpurchase agreements, with corresponding decreases in price-support payments; (4) Payments to any producer are limited to not more than 20 per cent of the fair market value of any acreage involved; and (5) The maximum rates will apply to all the acreage diverted where the total diversion on the farm is 40 per cent or more of the base. Producer signup will start February 10, 1964. DROUGHT REVEALS BENEFITS OF ACP PRACTICES: Farmers and city people alike are becoming more aware of the benefits resulting from water-con-serving practices encouraged by the agricultural conservation program. Widespread drought in several • parts of the country this fall has shown very clearly that conservation farming pays many kinds of dividends — in available — even though reduced — water supplies for household use, industrial purposes, and recreation t as well as for crops, livestock,* and wildlife. ACP makes it possible for farmers and government to cooperate in conserving national resources, by sharipg the cost of needed conservation practices, the program recognizes the whole nation’s responsibility for protecting and conserving the natural resource base on which we all depend. A very important benefit frOm water conservtftion ASP practices is that they cause much more rain and snow water to soak into the soil, raise and stabilize water tables, and provide a more even flow of water into our larger streams and reservoirs. Thus, less water rushes downhill and downstream as floods, and more is slowed down and held back in nature’s reservoir, the earth itself. Then the water is gradually released from upstream springs as it is more needed. But for these ACP water-con-serving practices, our current water shortage, both on our farms and in our towns and cities, would have been more acute. DOLLAR VOLUME OF FARM MORTGAGES: The dollar volume of loans made 'by the Federal Lank Banks. 20 life insurance companies and the Farmers home administration totaled $378 million in the fourth guarter of 1962, 21 per cent more than was lent in the corresponding quarter of 1961. From the third to the fourth •quarter last year, the lending volume of i FHA nearly doubled, life insurance loans were up 27 per cent and Federal Land Bank lending increased 19 per cent. Os the SBO million in direct loans made by FHA during the fourth "quarter of 1962, S7B million was for rural housing including mortgages on nonfarm property. The exceptionally large volume of lending by FHA during the fourth quarter resulted from a backlog of demand for rural housing loans and a large number of commitments from the previous three-month period. For all of 1962, loans made by cent over the previous year’s total. Outstanding mortgage debt held by these three sources of longterm farm credit gained -9 per cent from 1961 to The volume of loans with interest overdue or mortgages foreclosed remained very small. The average size of new loans made by the Federal Land Banks during 1962 was $14,000 — up 9 per cent over the 1961 average. The life insurance companies granted loans averaging $25,590, an increase of 8 per cent. Interest rates on the life insurance mort-

gages were 5.78 per cent in the fourth quarter, little changed from either the third quarter 1962 of the same quarter a year earliet However, two of the Federal Land Banks reduced their interest charges temporarily from the 5.5 per, cent contract rate — to 5 per cent and to 5.2 par cent. REPOPULARIZING LEATHER USE: One of the nicest things you can say about a shoe — “It was made from feather produced in the United States." Leather is the traditional shoe material. Our native leather ranks with the best in the world, and supplies are far from limited. Yet —leather is not even holding its own as- a material for shoes made in this country. Since World War 11, the production of shoes made with leather has increased less proportionately than the U. S. population. The percentage of shoes made of non-leather materials. on the other hand, has increased. Leather has also been losing out as a material for luggage, wallets, handbags and similar articles. Specialists of the U. S. department of agriculture are seeking ways to help the hide and leather industry make its product more competitive in quality and price with substitute and imported products. It is likely that such improvements must be found in the handling and marketing operations. The first stop—the production of hides - offers little opportunity' for improving -either quality or price. - , - Raising the volume of hides cured daily would of course cut costs per hide. In some areas several firms have consolidated their curing operations to increase : volume. Increased volume may also permit a plant to shift to the less expensive agitated brine method of curing hides. The chief saving in the agitated brine method is in the lower cost of labor. Labor costs may also be cut by improving building and plant layout and by paying work- . ers by the piece. In the tanning of leather and the manufacture of shoes, the hope for making leather more competitive with substitute materials apparently lies in research. Other opportunities for increasing hide or leather consumption in the future lie in promotional activity to penetrate new markets, including sales abrbadIn recent yearn the United States has shifted from a net hide —-importing nation to the .world’s second largest hide-exporting nation. V EVERY WOMAN CAN HELP CAUSE OF WORLD PEACE: What are the American women doing for peace? ~— How can American women or any women know their efforts are genuinely promoting peace? Consider these ways to be worth mentioning: (1) By living within ones income, honorably and contributively, and building for a better one. if desired, without stepping on everybody else’s fingers in the climb up the ladder. (21 By discipline of herself, her children, any children she teaches or baby-sits with, and by requiring government and elected” officials- also to practice discipline. (.3) By kindness ..that still permits people basically tn solve their own problems. <4i By being well-informed. By protecting her hea)th, training her mind, discovering and using her talentu generously. By being sincere instead of cleverly sarcastic. And (5) By making America a powerful. able and listened-to nation. Peace is not the candle, nor the is tlitt" light produced by these. THANKSGIVING DAY: What could be a better time than Thanksgiving Day to resolve to say "thank you" more often? And hot only say it, but to mean it' If we were to make an earnest effort to carry out such a resolution. it is quite likely that it would do something to our personalities that would cause us to feel more thankful than ever to our Creator. We have so many blessings in this United States”-of America to be thankful for — let us say

"thank you" not only on Thanksgiving Day — but everyday throughout the year — make every day a Thanksgiving Day. HIE SAFETY CORNER: Are you??? — A Sheepish Pedestrian? — "Sheepish" in this case means like a sheep. Follow the leader, even If he. knows better. Waits on curb for signal, but if someone starts across against the red light, he billows like a , sheep. Os a SHIFTY pedestrian - Can’t tell what he will do. Starts across the street but changes mind and turns back . May —stop To think about somethlnjLZ32rztdztalk to another pedestrian. Or a "SUPERIOR pedestrian - This is a "big shot.” He is a prominent citizen He considers the traffic regulations arc made for common folks — not for him. He crosses'the streets as he pleases, when he wants. He seems to think no automobile is big and heavy enough to hurt him. He acts as if -nttrtrivcrrwtlt- recognize 'tin im--portance a block away and slow down for him. Well, we hope he is right, but we fear he is taking dangerous chances. And if he is iso important, he should set a good example for lessor folk. If he doesn't need the protection of good habits, they do. or a "SUPERSTITIOUS pedestrian — This guy believes that if your "number is . up" y iu will have an ’accident, and if not, you will not have one. He can't think straight. He doesn’t believe in cause and < ffect. REMEMBER '- —— Accidents pain, lame, maim — and cost monev besides.
