ROAD SURVEY PROGRESSING

To Provide Basis For Planniag Improvements On Rural and Arterial Roads

A surevey to provide a basis for planning of future improvements on rural ag well ag arterial roads is progressing rapidly, James D. Adams chairman of the stateh ighway commissio nsaid. ’

Constantly changing traffic .conditions make the problem of maintaining secondary roads commonly known ag farm-to-market roads particularly dificult, Adams said. : “Greater weights of automobiles

trucksg and higher speeds are respongible for a more rapid disintegration and destrutcion of roads.” he said. The highway planuing survev oW is under way in 33 states, under the supervision of the United States hureau of public roads. ' In 1934 congresg provided for earmarking of one and one-half per cent of all federal aid highway appropriations for the fiscal years of 193% and 1936 for thec arrying out of state wide programs.

_“lnc_liaﬂa hag set aside $400,000 to conduct the survey,” Adams said.

e e a— Commitments To Insure Mortgages Forecast Good Upturn Complete reports from all over the country bear out the forecast of Fed eral Housing Administrator Stewart McDonald that at least three times as many dwelling unitg will be construct ed in the United States during 1936 as in 1936. Administrator McDonald announced that through the week ending April 26 home mortgages accepted for insurance numbered 63,118, with a dollar volume 0f'5254,365,064.

WCommitments to insure mortgages,” Mr. McDonald said, ‘“‘have to a certain extent taken the place of building permits ag the indicator of actual home building that is to come, since the commitment ig often issued before the contractor applies for a building permit. The comitment to insure a mortgage starts the hammers and saws going. We caonot of course, insure 8 mortgage on a building that doesn’t exist, but when our experts have examined and approved the plang and specifications for a home we issue a commitment to the lending institution agreeing to insure the mortgage on that structure.”

Second Prize in Essay Contest

The following is the second prize essay in the contest sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The first prize winner was Jack Lough and this paper wag entered in the state contest, later it will appear in this paper. The subject was “How Can merican Youth Cooperate With Fidac to Prevent Propaganda of International Hostility.” The following was written by Dan Drain. I. Fidac is a Society of World War veterans which was officially created on November zz 1920. The name Fidacc is derived from the initial letters of the actual name, “Federation Interallieg Des Anciens Combatants,” which in English means “The Legion of the Allied Veterans of the World War’’ The countries ‘who are now members of the society ‘are the United States, Great Britain France, Belgium, Italy, Yugoslavia, Poland, Roumania, Portugal, Cxechos lovakia, and Greece. ~ The principal aims of Fidac are:

1. “To work for peace.” - This has been the ambition of nearly everyone for many years, but permanent peace hag never yet been estblished. However, this organization may be just the one to turn the tide if the younger generation will lenq its support. 2. “To combat national or international false news and anti-allied campaigns. False newg or propaganda, ig generally the main factor in_creating a feeling of hatred among nations. If harmful propaganda is eliminated, there will be no harsh feelingg that are not founded on true facts.

3. “To instruct the younger generation in thig spirit,” The fate of the entire world lies in the hands of the younger generation. It 4s our task then to teach them to hate war and to love peace. If this propaganda of international hostility is to be prevented, it will be done by the children who will be the men and women of to-morrow!

The permanent headquarters of Fidac are at Paris, France. One of the most interesting and important departments in the Peace Bureau for Disseminating Accurate Information. This bureau employs men to pick out accurate information and to send it to all countrieg for publication. In this way people can read more about the friendship existing between countries than the falsely represented international strife.

11. Propaganda ig the doctrine or principle progated by institutions or men for their own particular benefits. After perusing the definition of propaganda, one discovers that it can be either good or bad. Now the question confonting us is this: “How can one determine whether propaganda is good or had?’ This will have to be answered by the individual himself. Afcer reading or hearing propaganda, he shouid be able to determine whether thg writer or speaker was doing himself some good or trying to give someone else a black eye. If we watch for this and work agdinst these sp-called “mudslingers,” we will be helping to stop the propagandists. -lIT. " One of the best wavs to prevent harmful propaganda is to promote internatioral friendship. The Plympic Games held every four years provide the nations witi friendly get-togethérg and build up a spirit of . gportsmanship throughout the world. > :

Several years ago the Unitel States and Japa nwere on the verge of war. If war had occurred, it would prob ably have been disastrous to our country; as Japan'’s military forces were well trained and well armed. Fortunately however, the war, was averted, And it was averted principally through baseball games! That such an insignificant thing as a baseball game could have ‘anything to do with preventing a war seems improbable, but it i 8 true. The American All<Star team journeyed to Japan and thers taught the game to the natives and hegan organizing teams. The enthusiasm over the new sport was so great that war was forg«tt. and the Japanese regarded the Americang ag their best friends. So you seg that ull of these friedly lit-

For 500 miles, there are tense brushes between rival cars, mishaps that send some into the pits beaten, sensational spurts that bring crowds to their feet screaming encouragement to their favorites.

But the start is a never-to-be-for-gotten scene.

tle advances made betwoea nations halp to estaldish peace and make it all the harde* for the spread of false yropagania : : IV. A coaniry, hovever, can 310 for peace -nly as much a 4 itg individual citizer s nccomplish, Three hstinct thingg that tha memoars ol Lhe younger g>r¢lation could and should do in order ‘v stop ard te preveat the spread of false propaganda are listed as follows:

1. Corresponding with children ol other nations. If any young citizen makes a fricad in a foreign <ountry and the co. «sponds with him, he is doing his part in tie prevention of fternationzl false propaganda.. If one boys tells the otter about some project being carried out in his country, the latter will not believe some false news concerning the same which “he hears through a propagandist. . 2. Knowing world affairs and making them .known. All citizens | should strive to understand which is true and which is false in the newspapers. And after the true facts are known, they should be made publicc It Fidac is to be aided; the good, true news should be spread while the bad should be forgotien. 3. Organizing Junior Fidac Societies, made up of school children, could do much toward combatting false international propaganda. In their meetings the children could learn more about war and peace. consequently, they would have a better foundation for their work against propaganda. It the reader remembers but one topic of this essay, let it be this: "After reading or having vital news concerning international affairs, decide whether it ig harmful or beneficial to Peace before passing it on to another person.”

One of the most essential thingy in growing of chickg is to have clean chicks in the start. Clean chicks are those hatched from eggs that come ftrom healthy flocks which have been blood-tested for hacillary white diarrhea, he expalined.

The brooder house shonld he thoroughly scrubbed with Dolling lye water and then sprayed with some good disifectant. This removes the filth and girt, and helps to destroy disease germs, lice and mites. Shavings or cut wheat straw may be used for litter. Crushed corn cobs, or alfalfa or clover leaves, which are free from mold, may also be used on the floor,” sald Mr. Kabhlmeyer, in the course of his remarks. Chicks should be broded on ground that has not had chickens on it for at least two years. The chicks should be kept separate Zrom, and not allowed to range with the laying flocks. If th, young and old birds run on the same ground, the aduit stock may be a source of infection for such diseases as coccidiosls, tuberculosis and others.

The all-mash gystem of feeding was recommended as a simple =2ud ses curate method of supplying the young chicks with the necessary feeds. The formula for a home mixed ration that has been tried out a! Purdue, can be obtained from County Agent M. A. Nye, or by writing directly to the poultry department, Purdue university.
