lappy News Is Made By Grace and Prince By Margaret Latr >be

From the mail:

“How do you justify the outageous New York press coverige of the Kelly-Rainier engagenent ? I thought it in shocking had taste. From reading three gossip columns in one paper done, you would think the reoorters - not Grace and the IMince —were making the anlouncement. And reporters antoycd Miss Kelly to such an extent that her secretary was ob-

liged to call the polii them put out of her

building. . . .

■‘Don’t these two wonderful people have any protection from arrogant, prying reporters ? What do you think of this indecent abuse by nosey news

hounds?”

Well. I’ll tell you. This is the biggest story of its kind, one of the loveliest of love stories ever. Falks, this one has everything. Everything. And without stain or regret or sadness or heartbreak to mar the telling, as was true of certain other royal romaTices. A young, beautiful, wealthy, I talented girl -who in five years ! rose from anonymity to movie I stardom, won an Oscar award for arting, was named Numb r One | cm the list of Ten Eest Dressed j Women, was courted by prac- l tieally every eligible bachelor ex- I tant, whose photograph adorned magazine covers,, whose piofes- j sional and personal successes | thrilled aTid inspired everybody i who observed them this lovely person named Grace Kelly cap- j lures the heart of a dream-boat honest-to-John Prince Charming

A lady writes to complain about headlines. Oh me! A handsome young monarch — wi‘h great charm, money and a pink palace by the sea who had yea: i :d publicly for a lovely Princess to share his loneliness among private zoo, sports cars and record collections, a Princess who it is hoped might present him with an heir, hereby continue the Grimaldi line of rulers and prevent his tiny* principality from reverting to French control—this most eligible Prince meets, falls in love and follows his lady to America to learn his answer.

MAMMOTH TARPAULINS cover the Shanghai bend levee of the Feather mer near Yuba City. Calif, to prevent erosion from the rushing flood waters. L’. S. Army troops stand guard for emergencies &s flood recedes. I International Soundulintol

tone award to Frederick Suth irlin, winning of the Indianapolis I .Yews essay contest by Jack Mo.-.s, a High School Senior, and Doris Salsman won the Centra’ Indiana B & O Area contest. In that time the annual meetng of the Profit from Pasture Program sponsored by the Central National Bank and the annual meeting of the Soil Conservation District in cooperation with the County Extension Service had attracted considerable interest. A bus load of Putnam County farmers toured Kentucky and the Tennessee Valley to obI serve the results of conservation ■ j radices on the badly eroded

j .oils of that area.

Progress .Made

In 194<S Epstein McClelland replaced Robert J. Schlomann as Conservationist of the District and James D. Myers was made his aid, and the joint annual | meeting, originated the previous year, was held at Gobin church. Harry McCabe placed second in the B & O contest, Fred Sutheriin placed 8th in the State Tericing contest held in Morgan County and Helen May Allen was County winner of a state wide asgay contest. Also in that year ; allowing the success of the previous year’s bus tour, another bus trip was made into Ohio to . t the famous Malabar Farm •1 Louis Bromfield and to see the accomplishments in that area : overing only a few years of recommended soil and water con-

servation practices.

As a climax to the first five years of the District’s existence t was apparent that great strides had been made in public acceptance of the conservation princiles. During the year of 1950 sufficient interest had been genvated in recommended land use and the resulting improved income from such practices that the State Terracing contest was held on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Moore, west of Greencastle, July 25th under the joint sponsorship of the Putnam County District, Extension Service, Central National Bank and the State Terracing Contest C( mmittee with 2009 in attendmce. Highlighting that meeting was the observation of building terraces, water ways, ponds and other structures and the a-ppear-j uice on the program of Governor Henry Schricker. This midway period also marked the appointment of Norvel A. Colbert as Faim Planner for the District ho has since continued in that osition amd to a large degree as been responsible for the coninued success of the District.

Interest Kims High

Public interest continued to un high and in 1951 the annual meting was attended by aproximately 600. This meeting :arked the inauguration of the wards for accomplishments for he pieceeding year presented v the Central National Bank as -lows: L. V. McGaughey, Maser Conservationist: John VerTillion and family. Conservation

I eight 4-H club members completed projects sponsored by the District in soil conservation, forestry, wildlife and entomology. The winners being Marvin Evens and Loren Salsman in the Soil Conservation group and Richard Friend in Forestry, who also was

runner up in the State.

The following year the practice of awarding "degrees'' for accomplishment to cooperators named by it committee appointed by the Supervisors of the District was continued. Harry Hansen was awarded the degree of Master Conservationist; Carroll D. W. Hildebrand and Wendall Lydick the degree of LandlordTenant Soil Conservation Team; ! Earl Cash and family the degree of Soil Conservation Family; Francis Lane the degree of Master Practitioner. Leonard Mann of Cloverdale Township was named as winner of the B & O contest. As pai tial inducement in the development of pasture } and the use of nitrogen fertilizer, forty tons of this material was distributed to co-operators with the compliments of the Tennessee

Valley Authority.

1953 the awards for the preceeding year's achievements were made to the Clayton Cash family , as the Conservation Family of the year; Doris Salsman as Mas- S ter Practitioner and Leonard D. Mann as Master Conservationist. J. Earl Allen joined the staff of the Soil Conservation Service to assist Mr. Colbert in July of

1953.

Joins Association In 1954 the local District joined the Indiana Association of Soil Conservation Districts and the National Association of Soil Conservation Districts and the annual meeting was again held in Gobin Church with capacity attendance. Awards were made as follows for the year 1953: K. M. Horton, Master Conservationist; James L. Myers, Master Practitioner; .'%rs. Ha-ttie Smedley and Roland Neier received the award recognizing outstand- j ing accomplishments in Land-lord-Tenant relationship. The Harvey Nichols family was named as the Soil Conservation family of the year, and K. M. | Horton was named winner of the B & O contest. Also in 1954 the j first Land Judging contest was I held on August 25th on the Raf- ; ferty Farm east of Greencastle The Reelsville High School team under the leadership of Kenneth j Miller was named third in the | Area Contest and the Greencastle team under the leadership of Gene Akers was named | 4th. The Kiwanis Club provided awards and paid expenses of the teams to the State Contest.
