May Have To Pay Walkerton $40,000 The New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad faced the possibility of paying $40,000 to the town of Walkerton as result of a state supreme court ruling. : The high court ruled against the railroad in a suit brought by the town to force the railroad to install electric flasher signals at four street crossings in compliance with ordinances settng penalty off $lO per day for refusal to comply. : The railroad won a suit over the order in St. Joseph superior court, but the decision was reversed by the supreme court, The latter court refused to uphold the contention of the railroad that electre signals would be an unmnecessary burden and hat flashers did not come under the purview of gong and alarm system as outlined in the crdinance.

DISTRICT FARM PLANNERS MEET Discuss Soil Conservation Program; Send Figures 'To Washing- | ; ton

- Executive works committees of five notheastern Indiana coufities met at ?\llbion Friday and checked figures resulting from' farm planning surveys in order to ascertain the program to be followed unde:r the soil conservation program.

' 'Whitley, Steuben, LaGrange DeKalb and Noble counties were represented. .

- Each group reported what the survey in crops and livestock promisel in future yearg in event no program was enacted and also showed what the crops ang livestocks figures would reach under a program. ilCorn would increase greatly this year throughout the district the report showed. Other big increases were promised in forage crops, aund practically all formg of livestock. ‘Whitley county reported this year’ crop of soybeans would bz less than in former years.

All reports were based upon 1934 reports amd increases may not attain the figures noted because of the drouth that year. Figures of the disirict n:eeting will be forwarded to Washington, where the comprehensive Indiana soil ccnservation program will be compiled Lynn ‘Robertson of Purdue main speaker of the day said this section of Indiana was more fortunate than any other section since the =ffect «f having no program will be notified less because of the diversified nature of the soil.

Nearly 100 farm bureau co-opera-tive officials of the district attended an all-day meeting in the Albion M. E. church. The session was school in commodities. A chemist from the farm bureau co-operative point company provided the main talk of the day. He discussed the chemical composition of farm: bureau paint.

Benefits From 4-HClub Work. By Eleanor Rhea, Orange Twp. Six years ago in 1930, I started in 4-H club work under Mary Axel and Velma Grossman, as leaders. (I start ed with the clothing project, in the fourth year I also entered the canning project. By now I have had six years of club work, six years of cloti ing and three of canning. From cloth ing I have learned to make most of my clothing and to make your own clothing is more economical. Froiv canning T learned to can many fruits and vegetableg and make jelly, jams ang preserves.

Besides canning and clothing projects, other ginls clubg are heaiih, baking, food preparation and rcom imiphovement. Although quite new yet room improvement has interestel ‘many girls. Most girls of club age have their own room and all giris like to have a nice appearing room. Tor this reason it createg an int:resi among most girls. 1 was more interested in club work because the school which I attend does not teach home economics. Club work gives the girls something to do during the summers. It is helpful to the girl and also her mother.

. Some boys and girls have the idea that club work is all work but I ‘have founq this not true. 'There is the social part of the meeting, county ‘picnics and achievement days. -At ‘the meetings you meet your Iriends. There is also the pleasure of winning prizes and trips if one tries to the best of his ability. As there are only so many prizes and everyone cannot win, club work teaches us to be a good loser as well as & winner. " 1 think all boys and girls should belong to some 4-H club not only for what they learn but also for the social activities and meeting- other young people. :
