Strike Effects Felt In Ports NEW YORK UPI — Atlantic and Gulf Coast port* began feeling the effect* of a three-day-old strike against the nation’s major shipping lines today and negotiators reported little progress in ending the dis-
pute.

The rocket already has tentatively been assigned the task of orbiting a manned space station in three years. Besides setting a record for rocket power and payload weight orbited, the Titan-3C at 700 tons was the heaviest b<*oster ever launched by the United States and it used the largest known operation solid fuel motor.

domestic.

Recent heavy rams in Putnam County have caused sever* soil loss to cropland according to George Murphey, local soil conservationist. Deep gullies and washes can be observed in most every section of Putnam County. Excessive soil loss to cropland fields will result in decreased crop yields in the fu-
ture.
One of the most successful ways to prevent excessive soil loss is through the use of grass waterways. This is a simple conservation practice and can usually be constructed with farm machinery. Grass waterways not only prevent soil erosion, but have many secondary values such as cover for quail and song birds, increased farm values, and a more beautiful country side. Landowners desiring technical assistance in establishing grass waterways or other conservation practices should contact the U. S. Soil Conservation Service office at IS 1 - East Washington Street, Greencastle.
