Given To Farmers
By V PI Specialist
Cumberland Club
Hears Predictions
At Ladies’ Night
\ VPI specialist told members
and guests of thb Cumberland
F irm is' Club what he thought
femur will be like in 1953. The
J id:i" Night Bamuet was held
>t F -.hit night at John Ran
dolph School. The speaker was
F J. re.- associate extension
economist.
".\ \t year's outlook suggests
•ha- farmers should proceed with
caution." lie said. "Some decline
in prices is likeiy, but we are not
headed fur a depression. We are
■ list headed for a settling back
process."
I i s re w.ll still be a profit for
farm, is :n 1953, he said, but not
gtlite as much as in 1952.
I hrer factors
Mr Krueger pointed out that
farm prosperity depends in gen
eral on three tilings ■ general
i eon nne situation, demand for
commodities, and supply of com
modities.
Speaking about the outlook for
’.ion-farm workers. Mr. Krueger
made these predictions;
First, urban people will have
about as much mcney to spiend
fur food in 1953 as they did in
1952.
Second, people will buy food
somewhat more sparingly and
carefully next year.
Thud, decline in buying will not
be drastic in 1953.
"I feel, however, that a more
pronounced decline is in Uie mak
ing lor 1954 and 55," he said.
Tiphter Squeeze
lit addition to slightly lower
prices ami slightly increased
fanning costs in 1953. the speaker
said that these factors will result
in "a little m re of a price-cost
squeeze than fanners had in 1952.
This squeeze Will not be serious,
but some downward adjustments
will have to be made."
Kach month since last August
there lias been a decline of 2 to
3 per cent over the farm prices of
the preceding m nth. The rca
■ in [or tiiis drop is that demand
for food has about stabilized, but
production has continued to in
crease." the specialist observed.
rite speaker said that his fore
cast was based cn careful study
ami economic analysis of the best
m!' filiation available at this
time.

The Charge Meeting of the
j WASHINGTON — The religious
vision that came to a young Eng
i lishman 300 years ago brought into
| being one of the world's most in
i fluential faiths and contributed
much toward founding the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
The young Englishman was
George Fox. The religion he found
ed was that of the Society af
Friends, or Quakers. And the de
sire to create a sanctuary of re
ligious freedom in a world of per
secution motivated one of the great
est of the Quakers. William Penn
UM4-171B), in the establishment of
Pennsylvania.
Penn was the son of a wealthy
and influential admiral . serving
England and before the Restora
tion. As such, the young man could
have been an important courtier to
Charles II and James II. and he
did spend considerable time in or
near the court. But he fell early
' under the influence of the follow
ers of George Fox. and became a
close friend of the Quaker leader.
Traveled Youth
As a youth Penn lived in England
and Ireland, traveled on the con
tinent and tasted the pleasures of
the French court of Louis XIV. But
when he was in Ireland at the age
of 22 the Quaker influence, long
within him. became dominant and
he was converted.
It is ironic that while Penn was
: on military duty in Ireland, shortly
before his conversion, his best
known portrait was painted. This
portrait shows a man whose Quaker
principles were absolutely opposed
to armed force clad in a suit of
armor!
For almost 20 years after his
conversion Penn worked for the
| Friends in England and on the
i Continent, suffering imprisonment
i and indignity. In 1681, he pressed
Charles II for accounting of a debt
i owed his father, and was granted
what is now Pennsylvania in pay
j ment.
Medel Constitution
The grant was what Penn de
sired. and he wasted little time in
setting up the colony. Penn drew
up a constitution that was a model
of fairness and toleration It grant
ed complete freedom of religion,
democratic government, and free
dom of opportunity.
The death penalty, applicable in
England for some 200 offenses,
could be invoked only in cases of
wilful murder
New Space Concepts
Emerge in Survey
WASHINGTON-A new and revo
lutionary picture of the universe is
slowly emerging in the series of
2.000 photographs of the sky being
made from a California mountain
top by the National Geographic
Society-Palomar observatory sky
survey.
Dr Rudolph Minkowski, re
search astronomer at the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology, pre
pared for the recent international
geographic congress in Washington
a paper telling of the survey's
progress.
An important aspect of the urn
dertaking. Dr. Minkowski re
ported. is the knowledge it will
provide for astronomers and physi
cists of the place of gas and dust
in the galaxy, of which the solar
system is an extremely tiny part.
"Then content of gas and dust
is intimately connected with the
structure and the stellar content
of a stellar system," Dr. Minkow
ski wrote. He added that the sur
vey will give "a complete, new,
and in some aspects revolutionary
picture of the structure and dis
tribution of gas and dust in the
galaxy . . .
"The survey shows the picture
of this distribution over the whole
sky to a depth of 250.000.000 light
years, the most complete infor
mation obtainable with present
day techniques, and thus contrib
utes an essential step for finding
an answer to the question whether
the large scale distribution in space
is uniform or non-uniform."
Business Executive
Builds Good Will
BOSTON—Here's how a business
executive built employe good will
by getting to know his employees
and getting them to know him. He
is Harold J. Walter, president of
Bachman Uxbridge Corp., Ux
bridge, Mass.
For the past seven years, he and
Mrs. Walter have entertained
groups of 25 workers at their home
every third Monday night. The
employes are served dinner and
entertained with motion pictures
of the particular'employes at work
and are also shown a short film
subject. For two hours they forgci
that they are "boss" and worker
The improved relationships show
the project has worked well, said
Mr. Walter.
Over the years, many of the
1.000 employes at the Uxbridge
plant have been to dinner at the
Walters several times. It is Walt
er s policy to invite new workers
to dine with the "boss" as soon as
possible after going on the payroll.

WASHINGTON-Thc tremendous
contrasts of the world’s greatest
body of water, with its vast stretch
es of marine wilderness thousands
of miles from any land and its
equally great areas dotted with
myriad islands, are dramatically
illustrated in the National Geo
graphic Society's new map. The
Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific covers about a third
of the earth's surface, and the
events taking place today on its
waters, shores, and islands can
well affect the future of mankind.
The 29-by-37li-ineh ten-color map
was distributed to the Society's
more than 2.000.000 member fam
ilies with the December issue of
the National Geographic Magazine.
Members may purchase additional
copies by mail
Alaska to Australia
The map covers an area extend
ing from Cape Horn to Siberia,
from Alaska to Australia. In addi
tion. the most important of the
20.000 islands of the Pacific are
shown in detail in 60 inserts.
Wake Island, for instance, gal
lantly defended by U.S, Marines
and civilians against the Japanese
in World War II, is dwarfed on the
big map by the red star indicating
an important airport. An inset,
however, depicts the island's pe
culiar horseshoe shape, its lagoon,
airport, and settlements.
In like manner Pitcairn Island
is a tiny dot at the extreme east
ern end of the Tuamotu Archi
pelago on the large map. The in
set carries names familiar to read
ers of "Mutiny on the Bounty.”
such as Point Christian and Bounty
Bay.
Atomic Ocean
The terrible realities of nuclear
fission arc a part of the Pacific.
Charted are Hiroshima and Naga
saki, and on the other side of the
ocean the U.S. Western Desert,
wartime home of the bomb. Close
together in the Marshalls are Bi
kini and Kniwctok. final U.S. bomb
proving grounds. And within the
map area on the Monte Bello Is
lands, 50 miles west of Australia,
Britain's first atomic weapon was
exploded in October.
Not only is the Pacific the
world's widest ocean. It is the deep
est. Between Guam and Yap in
1951 the British survey ship Chal
lenger sounded the deepest water
known to man. where the bottom
is 35.6-10 feet down.
four Wish Is Reason
/lying Saucers Seen
EVANSTON, 111. — People see
flying saucers” simply because
they want to ice them, a North
western University professor said
recently.
Basing his observations on a
continuing study of public opinion
■onducted at the university over
!he past several years. Dr. Curtis
MacDougall. professor of journal
ism, said that people become con
vinced there arc sueh things as
flying saucers or flying disks, look
for them in the sky and conse
quently think they see them.
But he sees a ray of hope in our
current attitude toward the phe
nomenon. "We're improving," he
said. "Today we at least accept a
scientific explanation of the
saucers, even though that explan
ation may be space ships from
Mars. It wasn't too many years
ago when we would have labelled
the thing as supernatural, rather
than ‘super-scientific'.”
Even five years ago. MacDougall
notes, the scientists couldn't get
a word in edgewise because of the
apparent hysteria. Today we at
least listen to their premise that
unusual light refractions may be
caused by varying temperatures of
air layers
We've had scales like this for
years. MacDougall said, ranging
from Edgar Allen Poe's trans-At
lantic balloon hoax to Orson
Welles’ famed Martian invasion
broadcast
"Maybe visitors from other plan
ets would be a good thing," Mac
Dougall conjectures. "It might
serve to unify us for ‘peace on
earth’.”
New Container Saves
Milk in Cold or Heat
CHICAGO—Whether a housewife
lives in Butte, Mont or Mobile,
Ala , she no longer has to worry
about spoilage of door-delivered
milk, because of a new metal con
tainer which protects milk from
sizzling heat or bitter cold, hours
after it is delivered.
The container is able to protect
milk cartons or bottles from freez
ing or spoiling, because it is in
sulated with a layer of vermiculitd,
a material also used for house fill
insulation.
Tlte box comes in sizes large
enough to hold four, six, or eight
bottles. It is constructed of galvan
ized steel, is water-tight, and has
a cover which prevents contam
ination by dogs, cats, or insects.
Tests have shown that milk
placed in the container will not
freeze in less than four hours, even
when the temperature is 10 dcgiccs
above zero.
