Cattle Trading Not What It Used To Be
DUBLIN UPI—Cattle trading In Ireland these days Is a sissy’s game, now that marts have replaced the old-time fairs and someone else makes your sale. Praised be the time when a spit and slap of the palm closed the deal and a pint of stout sealed it. Nowadays a fellow in a white coat and a fine accent makes the sale and a broker sends the check by post. It’s all very smooth, efficient, quick — and boring. Going to the fair used to be an exciting, worrisome day, full of hope and challenge, of sharp wits, agile minds and flavored speech. It was a crowded, Jostling day, of friendships made and friendships strained. It was a day when hyperbole meant an understatement and dullards stayed at home. But, above all, it was a day that began early. Dawn would find the breakfast things cleared away. Talk pf prices to be wrangled and purchases to be made, still echoing fresh from the night before, would be snared and aired again. Sandwiches had to be cut, money carefully counted out, and any defects in the beasts smudged over before the long trek began. In those days each beast represented something real, something much more exciting than just money in the bank. It might be a new coat for
the missus, a bicycle for the lad or a shotgun for the man himself. It made the day a deep family affair. Each farmer had his own favorite site at the fair. He believed certain knolls or corners showed off his cattle to the best advantage. The day promised well if you got there first. At the fair you were a buyer, a seller or the go-between. There was little room for the idle onlooker. The buyer had a bag of tricks to match against the seller’s down-to-earth deceits. But the important man was the go-be-tween. “Well, gentlemen what’s between ye?” That was the moment everyone waited for. It was the signal for the tussle, the feigned reluctance, the veiled sneers, the derogatory remarks. “Will ye make a divide and finish in the name of God?” The go-between would press them, sensing a deal. “Dq what I say. Here hold out your hands . . . "Com* on, now. Sure you’re not going to break my word.” And the deal was made. Then it was sealed in the pub as the seller, with a whisper and a wink, told the buyer the beast was lame — and the buyer, with a grin, explained that that was why he’d given 15 pounds less than he had intended. At home that night the man

himself would recount his victories, puffing his pipe and relishing anew the banter of the fair. The notes would be counted out and put away and the parcels would be opened with ceremony. It was a worthwhile sort of day. But now they do things differently. Around ten o’clock in
the morning a truck pulls up and loads the cattle. The farmer follows leisurely m his car.
At the mart, the cattle are labelled, ticketed, classified and sold in lots by a lawdy daw type of chap with clean fingernails. The check arrives next day. And that’s all there is to it.

On The Farm Front
(By Larry D. Hatfield)
WASHINGTON UPI — The Agriculture Department has asked Congress for money to study ways to increase the farmer’s bargaining power in the marketplace.
The request is contained in the department’s appropriations request for its farmer cooperative service. Department officials are asking for an extra 3200,000, a third of which would go for research on increasing the farmers’ muscle in the market. The rest of the money would go to research and assistance to provide cooperative services to rural residents and to help rural residents develop rural resources through cooperatives. David W. Angevine, the new administrator of the former co-

TV in review
Rick Du Brow HOLLYWOOD UPI — Sunday night’s Emmy Awards show on ABC-TV was definitely not a rerun. It just seemed that way: countless trivial honors handed out with the few worthwhile ones, thereby downgrading the geniune achievements and making it almost impossible to remember who won what a few minutes later. The annual affair, in which television gives prizes to itself, did distinguish itself in several ways, however. It failed to bestow a single major award on CBS-TV’s superb production of “Mark Twain Tonight.” It failed to give a single major award to national educational television, And it somehow managed to overlook entirely the Carnegie Commission and Ford Foundation reports on public video, which were merely the most significant and revolutionary developments in television in the past year. On the other hand, I do remember several awards going to the Andy Griffith series and another to a performance in “The Wild, Wild West,” a hack western-spy show. In addition, the Andy Williams program won over the Dean Martin, Jackie Gleason, “Hollywood Palace”
The Lighter Side
and “Tonight” series as best variety show. In short, the Emmy ceremony was true to its tradition, issuing a lot of sound and fury and signifying, for the most part, nothing. The honors for “Death of a Salesman” came a year after recognition by the critics’ consensus. To tell the truth, even television itself downgrades the Emmy stuff by not presenting it live across the nation. For example, here on the West Coast, it is seen on a three-hour
delay basis.
The tone of the Emmy
Awards might best be described in the words of an astute lady journalist who once wrote of a rising actress that she had “portentous g e n t i 1 i t y.” The hosts, Joey Bishop in Hollywood and Hugh Downs in New York, were very competent, but the whole ceremony verges on the absurd, and is out of anyone's control. One would not be too surprised if there were an award for the best bad breath
commercial of the year. On the program’s admirable
side, there was a tribute to the late Walt Disney. And Lucille Ball’s acceptance speech for her

Then a few days ago I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that seemed to suggest an amendment was in order. It was a reoort on the apparently growing practice of selling news to newspapers, magazines and television. I
No Celebration
JAKARTA UPI — Former President Sukarno, only a shadow of the powerful figure he was a few years ago, today observed his 66th birthday in forced retirement. Acting President Suharto forbade the former ruler of Indonesia’s 107 million people the use of the Merdeka Palace for his birthday celebration. Informed sources said Sukarno had planned to entertain about 100 friends at his former offi-
cial residence.

In addition to the request for funds for Angevine’s department to study increasing farmers’ bargaining power, Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman recently has been suggesting that drastic new legislation may be needed to increase farmers’ legal collective bargaining rights. During the hearings, Angevine was asked by Rep. Robert H. Michel, R-Hl., if the request for additional funds was prompted by the recent “milk strike” by the National Farmers Or-

NEW YORK UPI—The explosion of bold color and pattern in today’s feminine apparel looks new, but go behind the scenes and you find it began with the ancients. “What we’re doing with pattern and color today shows that if something is good, it doesn’t die,” said Gerald Pierce, one of the wave of new, young and successful designers on the U. S. fashion scene. Pierce, a S5-year-old native of Houma, La., travels the world for ideas for patterns in dresses, suits and at-home clothes he designs for two Seventh Avenue firms of which he is partner. Through the centuries, he said, hand craftsmen of Africa, India and South America have used a tie and dye technique to get brilliant no-two-alike patterns
on fabrics.

holding action. In response to another question from Michael, the department officials said the NFO action neither increased nor diminished the need for
t!.e money.
Angevine also said he felt 'giving farmers more muscle in marketing their goods would not have an adverse affect on prices to consumers. He cited the marketing of lemons, where co - operatives handle 90 per cent or more of the marketing, saying, “where farmers have gained a sizable share of the market, we find admirable restraint in using this market position to consumers’ disadvantage.”

In India, for instance, he saw pieces of fabric, each folded in accordion-like pleats and tied in one eighth inch sections—“the strips looked like snakes,” he said. These “snakes” were dipped in one color, unwrapped and dried, tied again and dipped again, the process repeated for as many patterns and colors as the craftsmen wanted. ‘Tve seen old mummy cloths the Peruvian Indians have dyed the same way,” said Pierce. What Pierce sees as translatable to American fashion he photographs and works with Jack Lenor Larsen, better known for his home furnishings fabrics than for ready-to-wear, to put them on cloth, working right in the knitting mills. Most fabrics designers, he explained, sit in the studio and paint. One of Pierce’s summer hits was a series of loose and unbelted dresses in Caprolan jersey, printed in animal and jungle motifs, the backs bared and the halter fronts hanging from primitive art necklaces seen in Africa. A collection for one of his firms, Boul’ Mich., included designs gathered from Amazon tribes. Intricate, geometric patterns of the tattoos on women were translated into dresses.

Studio publicity departments will no longer send out 8x10 glossy prints of bikini-clad movie starlets playing volleyball on the beach. Instead, they will send out order blanks permitting newspapers to buy these photographs at a cut rate. When a governor or a senator holds a news conference to announce his candidacy for the presidential nomination, he will charge admission.
A reporter’s expense account, which already is likely to be on the bizarre side, will take on new dimensions of originality and creativity.
