Enjoy Old Man Winter

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you wonder why so much of your shopping and last minute errands must be done in blustery weather, don’t forget that old man winter appears on the scene officially just three days before Christmas—December 22. Since we cannot all escape to happier climes, even if we so desired, now is the time to check again on preparations for living comfortably through the Short bleak days that lie ahead. — How is the family car?

When The Spirit Dies

Historians tell of a great Chief who resided with his tribe in the Wallowa mountains in northeast Oregon. He was leader of the Nez Perce Indians and was known as Chief Joseph. As the white men moved into his beloved land, he resisted their encroachment with a skill and a stubborness born of desperation that gained him the admiration of friend and foe alike. He was finally placed on a reservation where he died in 1904. Os late, there has been some question whether he actually died in 1904 or at some later date. To one historian, the question is irrelevant because Chief Joseph “From the time he was incarcerated . and not permitted to return to Wallowa after the defeat of the Nez Perces by the U. S. army ... he was just existing.

FARM INOTESBTMx By DON FRANTZ County Extenskm Agent THE 1967 FEED GRAIN’ program is pretty well set. There is also a new phase called the Cropland Adjustment program, very similar in some respects to the oM Soil Bank There is a need for more feed grains so the 1967 program had to be cut back. There were two ways it could have been done, one to pay less and attract fewer acres. The other would be to offer about the san** per acre but cut down on the number of acres eligible. They apparently have followed the second option Twenty per cent of the feed grain base can be signed up this year. The Cropland Adjustment program is a five or 10 year agreement. If you have a feed grain base you can divert the entire farm acreage or just the feed grain acreage. The payments for the acres paid for the amount that you have as an allottment seenx pretty satisfactory The payments for the rest of the farm may not be. The figures for each individual farm are different so no examples can be used.

ing and checking of furnaces, flues and chimneys. Haven’t we all heard the chilling sound of a siren in the middle of a bitter winter night ? After all the preparations have been made, we may look forward to winter as a time of surcease from the chores and exhausting fun of summer. There is nothing like the security of a warm fire and perhaps a little popcorn on a cold dark evening, when old man winter is howling around the eaves of your house. You may as well relax with a good book and enjoy it. For most of us. summer is some thousands of miles away — somewhere to the South, where whirling snowflakes never brush the palms and silver beaches with winter’s mantle.

his spirit had gone. The great man we tell of in history had died.” In short, when Chief Joseph was deprived of his great freedom, he no longer desired to live. The artificial security of the reservation. where he was guaranteed three meals a day. was no substitute for freedom. Is there not a lesson in the story of Chief Joseph for all of us? We place a high value on material security—so high that we are permitting ourselves to be enmeshed in an intricate ’web of restrictions, taxes and welfare programs that one day may make us all inmates of a vast reservation. Can our spirit accept incarceration any more than that of the Indian Chief, who could not live without freedom?
