Small Watershed Projects Soil and water conseravtion districts are the principal means for local administration of small watershed projects under the watershed protection and flood preven..tioT act (public law 566 • and its amendments. This act authorizes the U. S. denartment of agriculture to assist local organizations with watershed protection and flood prevention projects ,on areas of no more than 250.000 acres. The department can provide technical assistance, costsharing and credit. The soil conservation ser-. vice has the primary responsibility for carrying out the act. Each small watershed project is initiated and partially administered by one or more districts. A conservancy district, if organized, is the other local organization that assists with carrying ijut these projects. The conservancy district provides a taxation method for raising local funds for construction and maintenance of Watershed projects. There are now more than 50 small watershed projects in the state. Progress in these varies from the application stage to final completion. Interest is high, and the demand is increasing for this type of assistance to communities. — — -- The state legislature appropriates $137,500 to the state soil* conservation committee to transferred to the U. S. soil conservation service under a trust agreement for watershed plan ning. This is the state contribution in meeting the defand for increased planning This state assistance. in addition to the federal assistance, makes it possible for three planning parties to plan 10 to 12 watersheds per year. The Indiana flood control and water resources commission gives state approval for assistance in the small watershed program. It also assists with organizing conservancy districts and approving plans. _ Organizations of District Eight area associations including supervisors from 8 to 12 counties, have been formed to help supervisors exchange ideas, experiences and methods of administra-

Khrushchev is likely to warn visiting Cuban Premier Fidel Castro not to try to exploit the U.S.-Panama dispute because Russia wants no new Caribbean crisis. Western observers said today. Castro, who arrived Monday for a surprise visit expected to last a week, got down to major talks with Khrushchev in the Kremlin today. The discussions are expected to center on the SI million a day the Soviets are investing in Cuban aid and on Castro’s freewheeling foreign policy. When the bearded premier left here after a month’s visit last May. he was promised the increased aid for the island s faltering economy. He in turn apparently promised to support Khrushchev in his dispute with Communist China. But last fall, Castro joined with Peking in refusing to sign the nuclear test ban treaty, one of Moscow’s key steps in seeking a cold war settlement-with the West. • His speeches also had begun to indicate a neutralist leaning between Moscow and Peking. The Soviet leadership may feel this ambivalent position could have serious consequences for its hopes of extending influence in Latin America. Thus. Castro has created a which the Soviet Union is pouring vast amounts of aid into Cuba, but Moscow has been able to wield little influence ov%r Castro’s policies. This lack of control is believed to worry the Soviet leadership. For this reason, observers said, Castro is likely to be told that Moscow does not want to 'get involved in another Caribbean crisis far from its snores and in an area of US. strength, as would be the case in Panama.

Corn cob bedding two to four feet deep will give cattle a dry place to lie during the winter feeding period. Comfortable cattle make more rapid and efficient gains. -r Edema disease of swine occurs in hogs of all ages but primarily in pigs 5 to 14 weeks of age. It usually occurs in the best doing pigs under ideal conditions. The slightest Change involving weaning, vaccination, worming, transporting or feed may cause enough stress to induce symptoms of the disease. Management practices directed at preventing stress condition in pigs during the susceptabje age will help to prevent edema disease. Hog cholera vaccination should not be neglected. All swine on every farm should be vaccifrated. Proper immunization against this costly swine disease will form a basis on which to build a hog cholera eradication program. Proper conservation land use should be considered as plans are made for 1964 crop year, Shift steep or eroded hillsides to permanent grass or trees. This will protect the land and provide a profit. A soils map for your farm may be obtained through your local soil and water conservation district. This is a good time of the year for the soil MAN to MAN “Do I hove any choice about U'hat training I get in the Army?” —Bill W. Maybe you’ve hear d of Choice, Not Chance. Those words describe the Army enlistment program designed to help you get the job training you want while serving your counfry in the Army. Here’s the way it works: You choose the training you want from more than 400 jobs the Army offers. You take tests to see if you can qualify for the training you want. If you pass, your choice of training is guaranteed—in writ-. ing. And all this happens before you enlist, with no obligation on your part. It’s part of the Army’s constant effort to get the right man in, the right job. When that happens, the man, the Army, and the Nation all profit. That’s why we say Army enlistment offers you the opportunity to do two very important , things at the same time. You benefit yourself, and you serve your country, when you enlist in the U.S. Army. a —Your Army r ''■'r SFC Francis L. Funk U.S. Army Recruiter Room 305, Federal Bldg. Fort Wayne Ph. 742-7439

Mrs. Ronald Pierce of the Decatur Bellmont Home Demonstration club was the president who won the flowers.

MEAT: In conjunction with the meat TV series, I will print same additional information in the column which the lesson leaders may use in their lessons. Here is some information which Ruth Morris recently sent. Ask a teenager about his favorite dish. Ask a restaurant owner the most popular sandwich he serves. Ask a homemaker what her., economy meat standby is. Don’t be surprised when they all answer “hamburger!” One of the factors that contributes to the hamburger’s popularity is its ease and speed of preparation. There are, however, certain general pointers to keep in mind. SOME HELPFUL HINTS: 1. Ready-ground hamburger is generally very satisfactory although it usually has a higher proportion of fat to lean than ground chuck or round of beef. Some fat is desirable because it makes a juicier, more flavorful hamburger. 2. Use one teaspoon salt and one-eighth teaspoon pepper for each pound of ground beef. 3. For extra-juicy hamburgers, add one-fourth cup of water or evaporated milk per pound of meat. ' ■ 4. Add some finely chopped onion if desired, also one or several of the following seasonings: .Worcestershire sauce, mustard, catsup, thyme, poultry seasoning, caraway seed, horse-radish. Or add one-fourth cup finely chopped nuts or parsley to each pound of meat. 5. A good variation in preparing hamburgers is to put two. thin hamburgers patties together with well-seasoned bread dressing. Pinch edges together before cooking. 6. Pan-frying is the easiest method for cooking hamburgers. However, they may be broiled if the patties are three-fourths inch to one inch thick. 7. A good seasoning tip when, broiling hamburgers: After patties have been turned, spread with "catsup or chili sauce or with butter that- has been blended with crumbled blue- or American cheese. Continue, broiling until done. Cost per pound of ground beef influences your purchase, but while you consider the cost-per-pound, consider the cost-per-oer-ving. Check the color of the ground meat. If too lean —ground beef is dry, tastless and crumbly but less calories per serving. If too fat — ground beef will be greasy and there will be a lot of loss during cooking. Care For use the same day or next, wrap Ibosely in waxed paper or moisture-proof, paper. Use within 2 or 3 days. For freezing — Ground beef is a handy freezer item, but Use within 2-3 months. Before freezing, shape ground beef into the form in-which it will be served. Then the product can be cooked before thawing. To freeze, wrap tightly with- good freezer wrap, . separating each patty with freezer wr a p or waxed paper. Proper wrapping prevents freezer burn and flavor changes in the meat.

Mountains Os Laws Govern Americans

(EDITOR’S NOTE — The nation’s legal explosion shows no signs of slowing down and the avalanche of new laws fills more and more books in the legal libraries. The following dispatch, second of a three-part series of Barney Seibert of United Press International, reports on where the laws come from and what they do.) By BARNEY SEIBERT United Press International In 1951, the legislatures of the 48 states considered 69,919 proposed laws and adopted 23,894 of them. In 1961 the legislatures of the 50 states considered 89.669 proposed laws and adopted 30,39 b of them. During the decade between 1951 and 1961 the number of states in the Union increased 4 per cent but the legal output per state legislative session went up 25 per cent. This, in statistical terms, is how the nation has come to be flooded by a tide of statutes which can put you in danger ot breaking the law with almost every breath you take. 14 teasp. salt 1 teasp. salt ¥4 teasp. pepper 1 lb. ground beef % cup milk 1 No. can mixed vegetables Combine egg, milk and bread crumbs., Add seasonings, onion and ground beef.

The Illinois and New York State bar associations, in prepared lectures for school assemblies, pointed out that the content of the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the light by which you read, the building in which you live, the car you drive, the work you do, all are regulated to some degree by laws; “Laws affect you in all of your waking — and sleeping — hours,” the associations said. Lead The List What is this outpouring of regulation and restriction about? In 24 representative states, a United Press International survey showed that education, the automobile, liquor and financial problems accounted for the biggest body of legislation. In five states education led all other subjects as a lawmakers’ favorite and ranked among the top three in six others. Liquor and autos both led the list in two states and automobiles were among the top three law-provoking subjects in seven others. Liquor was among the top three in four other.) states. Financial problems most preoccupied the lawmakers of three states and ranked among the three top subjects for lawmaking in five others. The only one of these four subjects which is likely to remain constant in degree is liquor. Since the demand for government services shows no sign of satiation, financial legislation is likely to remain constant in degree is liquor. Since the demand for government services shows no sign of satiation, financial legislation is likely to increase. The number of autos, in use grc-vs annually and the need for regulation rises with it. There are more persons in school each year and they are demanding more schooling, so it follows there will be more law on the subject. Other Favorites In some southwestern states, such as Texas, water is the most popular subject for lawmaking, probably because there is not enough of it to go around. Four states — Georgia, Nevada, Ohio and Washington " — reported that laws regulating local governmental agencies were the most frequent concerns of their state legislatures. There is a popular saying in Georgia that a city “cannot open or close an alley, or put up a traffic light” without a special state law. Georgia also holds the constitutional amend--1 ment Championship. Its constitution has been altered 381 times in the past 18 years. Some 322 of the amendments concerned city charters.

Chapel Hill Board Refuses To Pass Bill

By United Press International The university town of Chapel Hill, N.C., despite the threat of renewed civil rights demonstrations, refused Monday night to pass the South’s first public accommodations law. Instead, the town’s board of aidermen voted 4-2 for a substitute motion that named a new committee to seek the voluntary lowering of racial barriers in still-segregated estabments. James Farmer, national director of The r&hgfess of Racial Equality (CORE), had said earlier that Chapel Hill, site of the University of North Carolina, was “the key to the South and the nation.” He warned that if a public accommodations law wasn’t passed by the aidermen, antisegregation demonstrations would be resumed. _ Aidermen Roland Guidez, who voted for the substitute motion, said "I shall not be intimated or pushed in any way by pressure tactics or civil disobedience demonstrations.” At Greensboro, N.C., Human relations Committee Chairman W. 0. Conrad urged citizens to patronize firms which have integrated their services and have hired qualified Negro employes. He said the failure of local authorities to act on integration was ‘‘inviting the federal government to pass laws on what we should be doing ourselves.” Elsewhere in the nation: Mobile, Ala.: The Southeastern regional director of the U.S. Civil Service Commission appointed a five-man committee to investigate federal agencies in south Alabama for possible discrimination against Negroes in hiring or promotions. Richmond, Va.: The state Pupil Placement Board assigned 16 Negroes to predominantly white schools and approved the transfers of five Negroes from a white school to a Negro school because of changes of residence. Memphis, Tenn.: Dobbs Houses, Inc., said Dobbs Houses and Toddle Houses in Atlanta and in some towns in Tennessee and Texas have been integrated “but the company has no plans to integrate all its premises” in the South. WASHINGTON: The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear appeals •by Negroes that Atlanta’s grade-a-year school desegregation program be speeded up. —
