Pre-Organization Masonic Meeting At North Webster A pre-organizational meeting was held at the North Webster school cafeteria Thursday evening | in an attempt to get a kxige started :in Nocth Webster of the Free and Accepted Masons of Indiana. About 50 persons attended the meeting which consisted mostly of questions and answers. These persons are all i 'but two present who were from the state department* now members of the other lodges in neighboring towns. A quota of 25 members is needed as the initial requirement of a lodge before it is subject to approval or disapproval from the department. It was noted that one neighboring lodge has every chair except one filled by residents of North Webster, and that immediate area. It was noted that eligibility into one ’lodge or the other was dependent upon actual miles, as a member should attend the lodge closest :to his actual residence. If a member should live an equal distance from either town, it would then become his choice. If however, he were to live a shorter distance from one lodge but wish to attend another, it would be up to the jurisdiction of the closer lodge whether that member could be released. A great anxxint of interest was shown in the informal meeting. Another such meeting is schedifled for 7 p.m. Thursday. Nov. 30. also in the school cafeteria at North Webst; r.

New Feed Grain Program Encourages More Diverted Acres The 1968 feed grain program, announced recently by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman, takes vigorous action to reduce total supplies in order to strengthen prices, according to Scott Horn, i chairman. Kosciusko agricultural l stabilization and conservation county committee. The target is to divert from production about 30 million acres — 10 million more than were diverted in 1567 — in order to reduce feed grain ! stocks and gain much stronger I prices. . The chairman listed the following i k«y provisions of the 1968 feed grain i program: • 1. Farmers will divert to conservi ing uses 20 per cent of their base ; acreage of corn in order to qualify I | for price-support loans and payments. No diversion payments will be made for this minimum diversion. except for small-farm acreages — the same as in 1966 and 1967. 2. Additional acreage may be divert’d up to a total of 50 per cent erf the base or 25 acres, whichever is larger. The acreage diversion rate for »his voluntary diversion will be 45 per cent of the total price support *. loan plus price-support payment' times th? farm’s established yield. In the 1967 program there was no payment for diversion except from bases of 25 acres or less. 3. For small farms (with a base jf 25 acres or less), a diversion payment will be available at 20 per cent of the total support rate times the farm yield for the fiiSt 20-per cent acreage diversion, and at the regular 45-per cent payment rate on the remaining acreage diverted to a conserving use. 4. As in 1967. producers with corn base acreages up to 125 acres will have the option of temporarily reducing this base down to 25 acres and still be eligible for the smallfarm provision provided that no corn is planted for harvest on the farm and the 25 acres are diverted Ito a conserving use. 5. Price-support loan levels under the 1968 program wili be the same as in 1967 —for corn, a national average of $1.05 bushel. Pricesupport payments will continue at 3) cents p.r bushel for corn based on the planted acreage up to onehalf the farm base times the projected yield. 6. Substitution provisions relating to wheat and feed grain acreage wifi b? continued. 7. Barley is not inckrdsd in the i 1968 feed grain program, and producers of this crop will be eligible for barley price-support loans regardless of the acreage planted. 8. Price-support loan levels for teed grain crops not covered by the iced grain program are national average of 90 cents per bushel Mur barley. 63 cents a bushel for oats. :.nd $1.02 a bushel for rye. Chairman Horn said that further program details will be announced prior to sign-up time. The questions still to be answered concern the availability of advance payments, the production of Substitute crops on di erted acreages, and whether soybeans may be planted on corn acreage in 1968 as in 1967 without loss of th? feed grain price-support payments. Sign-ups for participation in the 1968 feed grain, and wheat will take place concurrently during February and March 1968.

Thanksgiving, 1967 In this hurried world, there are still a few times when we pause and with humility and reverence recall I our heritage and give thanks for our i spiritual ' and material blessings. Thanksgiving is such a time. The first Thanksgiving Day was observ- ! ed by the pilgrims at Plymouth Col- ' ony after their first harvest in 1621. President Lincoln in 1864 proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day. and it has been o since that time. Legislation is now before Congress i which would shift the observance of five of our national holidays to Mondays, on the theory that this would avoid breaking up the working we.k and provide five clearly defined three-day week ends. Shifts are pro;x i <e.i for Washington’s birthday to become Presidents Day), Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans' Day and Thanksgiving. Whatever may be said for this proposal as it affects the rest of there occasions. one may hope that Thanksgiving is not finally included among them. As things now stand, this is quite generally obsedved as a fourday holiday. A time for families to get together—schools and colleges are closed from Wednesday till Monday. This would be sharply changed if Thanksgiving were just another ihreeday week end. For more than a hundred years, the fourth Thursday of every November has been the time for families to serve that reminder of the Lord's bounty—the traditional Thar.!-sjving dinner. Changing this day would to many minds detract from its significance. Traditions are an important part of the continuity that lends strength to a people and to a nation. In these times, it would seem w ell for us to keep as many of them as we can.
