Nivrhy na opravu stanov CO STANOVNI VITBOR NAVROUJE Zde je docela struend zprava o vYsledku prace stanovniho vYboru ze schtlze konane v Temple v sobotu 19. a v necieli 20. biezna. VSechno jednani bylo v teal anglicke, celY vYsledek je sestaven a uvetejnen v anglicke dasti Vestniku. Bylo usneseno vYborem, 2e eeskY pkeklad se poticli, ale pod tihou mnoha jinYch bode bylo opomenuto odhlasovat nebo urdit, kdy a jak se ma potidit deskY pteklad. Bude potizen, bude Vestniku a bude te2 dodan ka2clemu legatu sjezdovemu.

Pro uspokojeni tech starch elena, kteri davaji ptednost libozvuene matetske teei, poclam nejhlavnejk novinky, na nichZ se vYbor ustalil, he je ptedlok sjezdu v San Antoniu.

Na za'eatku stanov ma bYti charta, totiz listina. VYbor se musi dohodnout s Hlavni atadovnou, zda bude poukto originalni charty z roku 1897 nebo nova dopinene charty z roku 1947, ktera je platna a do roku 1997. Pak bude nasledovat astava SPJST, totii takoye elanky, ktere se nemuseji menit na kahlem sjezdu.

Po astave pkijdou teprve stanovy, toti2 dlanky, die nich2 operuje na ge cola Jednota, tedy jednotlive paragrafy yzajemne dohody, jak se prace provadi ye sjezdu, v asttedi, v ,okrscich a v jednotlivYch faclech. Na rozdil od stanov budou domaci pravidla a regulace, ktere si upravuji eleni Boma pro svaj tad.

Doglo k dohode, aby amrtni poplatky, ktere se odvadeji Hlavni atadovne do fon du imirtniho, byly dasledne (toti2 vZdy a bez vYjimek) nazYvany "premie", kdeh to penize platens na domaci vYclaje byly vkly jmenovana "ptispeyky".

Vypracovany byly odstavce, aby, se poznal rozdil mezi elenem, kterY dosud plati sve "premie", ktery ma svilj certiflick pine doplacenY, a kterY zrail svou pavodni smlouvu a vyzvednul si ptedeasne vyrovnavajici certifikat. Budou tedy tti ruzne skupiny, jestli to delegati sjezdu schvali.

Aby sjezdy nebyly tak nakladne, jak se to stale stupriovalo, delegati budou voleni die nasledujici stupnice: malt' bad do 24 Clent zvoli sveho delegata, ale delegat dostane pouze polovici sjezdovYch vYloh.

Kdyh listuji eisla starch Vestniku, yydanYth pied kandYm sjezdem, tu je viclet ten zajem elenstva, cob se opakuje kande etyti roky pted sjezdem. Jest podivuhodne jak malt' zajem jest pro na g ptigti sjezd, kterY bude konan v San Antonio, Texas. adnY podnik at' jest sebe lep gi, nemide znstat stat neeinne, bez zajmu pro budoucnost. V nagem pkipade se mu si hledet aby vzrust elenstva neubYval, ale ptibYval, neb tarn jest na ge budoucnost.

Pted kandYm sjezclem se ozYva,ji hlasy, he se musi gettit. Velice chvaly hodna vec. 1.1znavarn, he jest nekolik kterY by se dalo gettit. Vgak nesouhla-

Ve stfedu, dne 30, bkezna 190 sim z yYrokern na opravu stanov, zmenSit poeet delegatii do sjezdu.. Take krasna vec, ale proe? Prod pokutovat yetgi kady proto ze hledi k tomu aby na ge Jednota rostla? Kdyg pkehligim zpravy, tu vidim, ze fady z vet gim poetu elenstva, kagdYin rokem rostou. Vgak mengi kady, fekneme tak do 25 elenu, rok Po roku mail stale stejne poeet dent, skoro mohu smele fici "merle".

Ovgem slygime nafek, ze neni mono ziskati gadne nove elenstvo takovem okoli kde lady citaji od 10 do 25 Nechce se me tomu yekit. Preto ze s tech 25 elent, musi Wit nekdo z detmi, vnoueata, sestry, bratki, gvagfi, gvagrove, synovci, netefe, sousedi a zna me. S tohoto seznamu, bylo by zajiste mono vybrati 2 nebo 3 eleny roene ku vzrustu fadu. Vgak na prvem miste o to mame se postarati my rodiee nebo cledeeek nebo babieka. Kdyby ka gdY z nas kteki mame pkirtstek v rodine, hledel k tomu aby tento malt' svetoobean stal se nagim elenem, neubirali by nam je cizi spoleenosti gmahern. Co mute bS7t ugiteenejSi ne gli pojistka pro ynonee jako darek. Mame takovk vSiber, ze i ta nejchudAi kapsa unese to vyclani. Netvrdim ze kagclemu co by jsme jej koupili by si tuto pojistku podrgel, ale jiste procento by nam jig zustalo. Proto jest na nas, aby jsme hledeli takove budouci 'Oenstvo yeas zapsati. Na ge rodina jest 15 Mena a neseme SPJST pojigteni v obnosu $52,500.

Napsati tento dopis dala jsem si zvlagt ni praci, vynajit fakta, prod stale se hartusi, aby byli delegaty vysilani do sjezdu nesledovne: Od 10 do 100 elenU, jednoho delegata, pak na ka gcle. 200 Menu dalgiho delegata. Pakli fad dostoupi 1,000 Menu ma pravo volit 5 devgak ne vice. Jak tomu rozumim ma se tak stat proto aby se u getkili penize.

Tak ted' se na to podivejme ze stran ky ugetfit pro jednotu co nejvice. Kolik z vas Menu kteli tento navrh davate a podporujte, jste zjistili kde ten pravY bod se naleza k ugetfeni? Vynajit kolik zisku ma jednota s tech kadu eitajicich 25 Menu nebo men6? Take kolik ziska jednota z fadu eitaje 100 e'en(' nebo vice?

Sedela jsem dva dni a dva veeery, abych yam mohia pfedlo git fakta, a ne ilomnenky. Nemam pfile gitost zjistit ko lik elent maji fady za, dnegni doby (mimo nageho tadu). Proto jsem si sebrala m'efitko ccl 1952 do 1956. Laska.ve sledujte tyto eislice pozorne.

Addy do 50 elenu v 1952 meli 1,807 elenil a zastoupeni ye sjezde 57 delegatti. V

V.2 STNiX — WEST, TEXAS 1956 meli tito rady 1,706 elenu a zastoupeni ve sjezde 49 delegatt. Tedy strata za 4 roky 101 elenfl.

Addy"do 100 elenu men v 1952 -- 2,109 Menu a zastoupeni ye sjezde 30 delegatu.

V 1956 men tito kady 2,031 elenu a za stoupeni ye sjezde 29 delegatu. Tedy stra ta 78 elenn za, 4 roky.

Addy 500 elemI nebo vice men 1952 — 2,977 a zastoupeni ye sjezde 29 delegatu. — V 1956 men tito fady 4,315 Menu, a zastoupeni ye sjezde 43 delegatu. -PfirUstek za 4 roky 1,338 elend.

Tak a nyni si vezmem pfiklad, ze ka g -clYjednOplatirmen$21.0roene na jeho pojistku. Hlavni atadovna si mute ponechati jeden celorooni poplatek za prvni rok z noveho elena a nasledujiei roky %20 z Umrtnich poplatku na vydani. Pakli ma jeden Glen vice jak jeden tisic tim vice zbYva, na vydani H. Utadovny.

Nag sjezd v 1956 nas stal $37,430.73. V sjezde byly 218 delegatu. Vydani pi-timer ne na jednoho delegata bylo $171.70 (to jest me •itko pro vgechni fady stejne). — Nyni nasleduji eislice za, rok 1956. Vgak kdyg tito porovnate, jest to velmi zajimave. Ted' vas prosim, pakli yam tolik zalegi na getteni, aby jste si vzali eas z volna porovnali nasledujici: Addy do 50 elenu v 1956 melt 1,706 elenu. $21.00 zaslano na HI. Madovnu za jednoho elena, jest obnos $35,826. S toho si hinge HI. iffadovna ponechat na vyaril 20% cog eini $7,165. — Vydani za 49 delegatu $8,413.

Addy do 100 Mena v 1956 meli 2,031 Mentz. $21.00 zaslano na HI. fifadovnu za jednoho elena, jest obnos $42,651. S toho si HI. fitadovna, poneche, na vydani 20% cog eini $8,530. — Vydani za 29 delegatil $4,979. kady 500 Menu neb vice (tech je 5) v 1956 meli 4,315 Menu. $21.00 zaslano na H. U. za jednoho elena, jest obnos $90,615 S toho si mute H. U. ponechat na vydani 20% cog eini $18,123. — Vydani za 43 delegatu $7,383.

Do 100 'Menu mame 78 facia — 5 kadu maji 500 Menu nebo vice. Tech pet (5) fadu maji o 578 Menu vie a o 35 delegatu merle co'g take dela o $6,009 mengi vydani pro ty velke lady.

Nemohu pochopit prod pokutovat kady ktere ka,g0m rokem pkinagi zisk nagi jednote. Prod pokutovat eleni takovSrch fadu, za to ze hlecli k tomu aby nage jednota rostla, a mohutnela. Pied ka g -c1Smsjezdrnpivo,metusa pineku getkit, getfti a getfit. A to chceme getfit na torn, co nam pfina gi nejvice zis ku. Na, elenech ktere jednou za, 4 roky dostanou odmenu, ze jsou zvoleni co de-

Strom, 9 legdti ye sv9ch l'adech. Clen takovy si na tom velmi zaklada, ze byl pocten chlverou elenstva sveho tadu, aby tito ve sje zde zastupoval.

Jegte ani jednou jsem v na gem Vestniku neeetla, ze by jeden s tech peti (5) kadu elate ubirati pra y° tem delegatfun maleho fadu aby nesmeli zastupovat syYch 7 elenft, 11 elenu, 15 elenu a tak dale. Pakli chcete uptimne feeeno getlit, by se to zajiste dalo zakidit Ate jiti stejnou merou vgem.

Co se tf,Tka na geho kadu mohu yam podat podrobriej gi zpravu a to da konce ledna 1960. Na knihach mame 2,328 certifikatu a zaslano na H. U. za 4 roky $233,872.31. S toho mute si H. U. ponecha ti na vydani 20% co g eini $46,774.46. Na pkirustek za 4 roky jest 197 elenu. Nage vydani za delegaty do sjezdu v 1956 bylo $2,232.10.

Upflinne vas gadam, aby jste pozorne pfeeetli a porovnali tyto idrkazy. WMla jsem stejnou mirou vgem. Kdybych mega po rude vYkaz elenstva a delegatu do sjezdu v 1960, mohia bych yarn podat ptesnejM vS7kaz.

(b) Seven and five-tenths million actually On the farm. (c) Ten or eleven million are processing and distributing farm commodities.

Thus, 25 million workers or 40 per cent (approximately) of our gainfully employed are involved in the production and distribution of food and fiber from the farms of America.

Census Law Requires Answers But Assures Secrecy The requirement that everyone must r questions about the Census is as old as the Constitution.

The same requirement will be in effect beginning April 1, when the census Ltker will visit every household in the United States to take the 18th Census of Population and. Housing., But, although the requirement to answer is old, the security that cloakes all information given the census taker is comparatively new. It was first provided for in the law for the 1880 Census and has remained in effect since that time.

A penalty for refusing to answer Consus questions has been in every Census law fro.h the beginning of the United States Census in 1770. Under present law, some pssons 18 years old and over is required to answer official Census queistions about himself and members of his household. The person who wilfully refuses to answer is subject to a maximum fine of $100 or 60 days in jail or both.

Prior to 1880, there was no restriction in Census law against publication of information about individuals. In fact, in the early census, the Censur lists were posted in public places for examination by those who wish to make certain they had been countd.

The 1880 Census law provided a special form of oath for census takers, swearing them not to make known any information collected in the Census except to their sworn superiors. The census taker who reveals information about individuals to anyone other than a sworn employee of the Census Bureau is subject to a fine of $1,000 or two years in jail, or both.

Sister Justine and Brother Sid Pokladnik, Pokrok's president and his lady, cutting the Birthday Cake, donated by the Teen Age Club of the Lodge, on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Dallas Lodge 84.

This secrecy provision means that neither the census taker nor any official of the Census Bureau may give information about individuals and their household to the Federal Bureau of Internal Revenue or to the State or local tax collectors and' housing inspectors. ) Pamatuite ve svYch radovYch vzpominkaeh na Vase star gi obetave bratry a sestry, ktere se o vzritst Va geho radu • 4, Vag e dopisy z osad povzbudi einnost a zajem o Vag raft ani netugite, kde koho svoji zpravou pote gite. •

Your reporter, Mrs. Lumie Shiner ) • 4 • ( CONVENTION TOPICS HOUSTON LODGE NO. 88 Our SPJST convention will be held in the near future, at San Antonio, Texas.

Here and there we find in our Vestnik, some changes, corrections, and new ideas to improve our by-laws. Going through our old issues of Vestnik, printed before our previous conventions.

(These are held every four years) a lot more interest was shown by the memmership in 1948, 1952, and 1956. It realy is amazing that little interest is shown to our forthcoming convention,.

One sure thing is starring us in the face, and that is we MUST grow. Any organization on a standstill, is doomed to diminish or die. Therefore our aim must be concentrated on the growth of our membership at all times, there is where our future lies.

It seems to me, we cultivated a cihronic ailment, before each convention.

V ASTNiK — WEST, TEXAS The phrase is save, save and save'. It is a very commendable observation, there is such a thing as save. But we, should find the right way, how to save. I •do not agree with the members', that are constantly harping on the subject. THE DELEGATION . . . to our conventions should be revised, as follows: Lodges from 10 members to 100 members 1 delegate . . . Then for every 200 members an additional delegate. If any lodge reaches 1000 of more members, only 5 delegates may be elected. ;Why should we punish and penalize the only source of growth in our order?

If we follow the reports, from year to year,especially from convention to convention, we do get a pretty fair overall picture. The members that constantly bring up this fantastic rule, should with all fairness compare the pros and cons of such a statement, before coming to such conclusions I took the time of 2 days and 2 nights so I may give you a fair picture of this situation. In my findings, the big lodges grow constantly. But on the other hand, the same lodges do not increase their membership; they either stay at the same number of members, or I can safely say, decrease in their membership. How many of you, in favor of this new by-law concerning the delegates, made an effort to be sure, this is the cource to save on?

I have no means of knowing how many 'members each lodge 'has up to date. But I took the years from 1952 to the 1956 convention. Read carefully and compared these figures. They are dry numerals but Very essential to our order.

Lodges with 50 members in 1952 had a a membership of 1,807 members . . . representing in the convention, 57 delegates. In 1956 these lodges had 1,706, and representation at the convention of 49 delegates . In 4 years time, these lodges' lost 101 members.

Lodges with 100 members in 1952 had a membership of 2,109 members, and 'representation at the convention of 30 delegates. In 1956 these lodges had 2,031 members and were represented with 29 delegates . . . In four years a loss of 78 members.

Lodges of 500 or more, members, in 1952 had 2,977 members and representation at the convention with 29 delegates. In 1956 these 5 lodges had 4,315 members and representation in the convention with 43 delegates. Increase in these 5 lodges 1,338 members.

Now, we will assume, that the average premium for each member amounted to $21.00. The Supreme Lodge according to our by-laws may transfer to the expense account, the first year's premium

Wednesday, March • 30,E 1960 i of new members and 20 Per cent of all premiums collected.

Our convention expense for the 1956 convention in Temple, Texas, reached $37,430.73. Present were 218 delegatss, with the average expense for one delegate amounting to $171.70. Now go very slowly comparing the following (the figures are only the 20 per cent).

Lodges with 50 members in 1956 had 1,706 members . . . $21.00 annual premium collection for one member would amount to $35,826 . . . 20 per cent of this amount is $7,165 for the supreme lodge expense account. The cost for 49 delegates, $8,413.

Lodges with 100 members in 1956 had 2,031 members . . . $21.00 annual premium collected for one member, amounts to $42,651 . Supreme lodge may withhold 20 per cent of this amount for expenses. This totals to $8,530. The cost for 29 delegates $4,979.

Five lodges with 500 or more members in 1956 were 4,315 members at $21.00 annual premium collection per member amounts to $90,615; cost for 43 delegates $7,383.

Seventy eight lodges with a membership up to 100 had 3,737 members; five lodges with a membership of 500 or more had 4,315 members. The five lodges had 578 members more and 35 delegates less, with $6,009.00 smaller expense, than the 78 lodges.

Not one time have I read, in our Vestnik, from one of the 5 lodges, proposing a by-law to deprive any delegate representing a small lodge with 7 or 11, or 15 members and so on. Just like the small lodge delegate, who is proud to be able to represent his few members ... so are the delegates of the five largest lodges proud of being elected by the majority of their membership, to go to the convention to represent the backbone of our SPJST. As for our lodge No. 88 I am able to give you more accurate figures for the last four years. At the end of January, 1960 we had on our books 2,328 certificates. Premiums collected in 4 years $233,872, 20 per cent of this for Supreme lodge expense, amounts to $46,774. Our increase of members 197 — Expense for 13 delegates to our 1956 convention, $2,232.10 With all sincerity, I wish you would read this carefully and compare the' figures. For today I will bid you good day.

Inadvertently, Sister Judy Hrabina of of Lodge 135 of Ennis and Sister Deanne Vrla of Lodge 130, were left off the roster in our paper.

In the final lodge eliminations, some, of the young sisters presented in the paper, did not participate in the District finals.

,KA AND LODGE 130 SPJST Dallas, Texas Looking to the April festivities, prospective plans are in the making for a C L's Dance on Saturday, April 23, ,at 7418 Greenville Avenue. In recognition of their service to our country, this dance will honor all of those who, in the course of events, have joined in defending the rights and privileges which we enjoy.

Synonymous with spring, the event will be semi-formal. "A stitch in time 07,WS nine," so start planning now to join your friends and make this one of your social highlights of the season.

To give pleasure to your dancing hours, Gus H:rzan's orchestra will entertain, starting at 9:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. A floor show, consisting of our own local talent. is being contemplated to recapture some of the honor of the Sad Sack; more on this later.

It was actually a great surprise to Me and I can't ,describe the wonderful feeling it gave. It is by no means the money but the honor that counts in my mind.

This honor which I received isn't mine entirely. Anyone who is active in the ST will know that it is due to the start in lodge work that promotes in-, terest. It is certainly that way in my

Vt STNi IC — WEST, TEXAS case, Four years ago could actually be considered my active beginning in lodge work when we at lodge No. 84 were smiting our teen-uge club. It is due mainly to four d ail: people.

The first two people are my parents.

They have given me all the cooperation one could expect to keep up my every interest in the lodge.

The third person is none other than our beloved Youth Leader, Mrs. Bessie Petr, (or as I call her Pani Bozena).

She is one of the ones who helped along the idea of having a teenage club in our lodge. From this you can gather that she helped me so very much not only for years ago but ever since.

Tile, last person is the one whom I regard the most impartial. He is the one aided me so very much when our teen club was getting started. Of course, he is none other than Mr. Sid Pokladnik, our lodge president, He was always so willing and understanding to help when ever a problem was around. After I had been elected the first president he continued to help me carry out the oflice as it should.

Both Mr. Sid and Mrs. Petr have not only helped to get me started actively in the SPJST but other teenagers and parents as well.

I can't start to enumerate the many times I have been helped by the above people as well as many others. I only wish they could all receive the rightful thanks they deserve so much. But since that isn't possible, I can only say "Thank you all for all the help and hthrest you have shown in our great fraternal order. (SPJST). It is due to you that I earned the points I did to win the contest."

I would also like to congratulate all of the other winners of the points contest for their work.

Fraternally and thankfully yours, James J. Janousek Lodge No. 84.

Wednesday, March 30, 1900 legs and the structure of their digestive tracts is different. Therefore, the jack ra t are., bbit, isn't really a rabbit at all, but a Another definite difference in the two is that hares are, born completely covered with hair, and with their eyes open.

Rabbits enter the world naked and their eyes remain closed for at least a week.

Since the cottontail is born harless and with closed eyes, he is not a hare but a rabbit.

Whether hare or rabbit, the bunny plays a very important role in nature's, balance. One of the most important values of, the mammals, according to the director, is their role as a buffer species.

They serve as food for both man and animal.

Austin -- A few days of sunshine has doubled the number of fishermen on the lakes and streams, of Texas, according to the director of law enforcement of the Game and Fish Commission.

"Wardens checking these fishermen find that most of , them have their licenses," the director !said. "A few, however, have put off buying their fishing licenses and it is necessary to charge them with violations."

Fishing licenses are required of all persons, except those under 16 or over 65 years, fishing with rod and reel in any Texas waters.

Non-residents pay the same fee for their license as Texans, $2.15, which permits fishing in either fresh or salt wa ter.

"Visitors to Texas are appreciative of this license," the director said. "Most states charge a much higher price for non-resident fishing privileges. As a result of our minimum priced license, we get many fishing visitors in the state."

Fishing licenses can be bought from most sporting goods stores, the county clerks and game and fish commission officers in the major Texas cities.

• • Some of the proposed laws offered in the state legislature from time to time are such as those prohibiting the discharge of firearms in thickly populated areas, and are, of course, necessary for public safety. Sportsmen don't oppose these kind of laws. They do oppose proposed regulations which infringe, even indirectly on the right of citizens to possess, transport, and the lawful use of firearms.

Two proposed firearms-regulation ordinances, introduced in another state that no resident of New York are' City — shall possess or carry a rifle unless it has been registered and a permit to

Wednesday, March 30, 1960 posess it has been granted to its owner by the police commissioner. And no person may purchase any rifle ammunition in the city unless he exhibits a police permit to possess a rifle, and that dealers must keep records of all sales of rifle ammunition, including the names and permit numbers of buyers.

New York, like numerous other cities, is combating teen-age delinquency that too often climaxes in violent crime.

Some officials think that this will control the situation. Few sportsmen will agree with that idea. Should a law like this be passed, sportsmen would register their rifles, criminals wouldn't. The police would have a long list of rifles belonging to law abiding citizens, which would be of no value to them. The criminals still would have unregistered weapons of all descriptions, which could and would be trafficked among underworld characters as, always.

We have all the firearms-control laws we need. Possession of machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, and silencers is restricted by federal law. Posession of concealed, weapons is regulated by state and local lawg. Regulation of all firearms and especially shotguns and rifles, would result only in costly diddling by some government agency.

Influence Of National Election On Our Texas Economy During the 25 Presidential election years in the past century, from 1860 through 1956, the figures show that economic activity was on the upbeat in 14 of those years, declined in eight, and was mixed in three. For the 15 Presie dential election years since the turn of the present century, when the, economy as we know it now began to take shape the economic returns were eight years of rising activity; five years of decline and two years of irregularity.

Thus for the last century as a Whole, expansion has characterized more than half of the Presidential election years in the period. The score for the last two decades is even more impressive, with marked growth trends in four of the five Presidential election years since 1940. War and its aftermath have, of course, influenced the , economy's performance since the Forties, just since the Forties, j ust as depression left its imprint an the results in the Thirties.

Some of these Presidential election years stand out more than others in their economic performance and qual-

VEST Nt

WEST,' TEXAS ify as turning points In the subsequent course of events. One such in relatively recent history was 1920. That was the year during which the presistent inflationary trend of the first two decades of this century, which took on runaway aspects in the FirSt World War period, came to an abrupt end, falling of its own excesses and carrying the whole economy with it in a short but deep re cession.

The,, behavior of the, economy since the end of World War. II shows that we have learned much from the past in avoiding boom-bust cycles by holding economic adjustments in check through stabilization programs and other measures, But there is one basic, problem that has been building up steadily and, considering the trend of events abroad as well as at home, insistently calls for a decision.

That is the problem of inflation and the stability of the dollar. After two decades of a depreciating dollar and an even longer period of inflation-breeding government deficits, the question of economic growth without inflation remains one, ,of our foremost challenges and a key factor in our progress and world competitive position as we look ahead to the future.

But the country' has taken up the challenge and is not permitting it to go by default. The indications are that the American public is more alive to the inflation danger and the need to contain it than ever before in our history. The long rise in living costs, which started at the beginning of the Forties, has shown a tendency to slow down recently. And of particularly vital importance, a balanced Federal budget is in prospect for the current fiscal year, and a large surplus to be used for debt reduction has been projected for the next fiscal year which begins on July 1.

Plan Farm And Ranch Buildings To Save Labor College Station — Production facilities are being expanded on Texas' farms and ranches despite the increasing cost price squeeze. EVery structure or build- • ing says W. S. Allen, extension agricultural engineer, needed should be planned to get the most from the money expended and the maximum in labor saving. Additional farm labor is hard to get and becoming more expensive each year, says the specialist.

Allen ,points out that plans for farm

Strana 25 buildings and equipment have been designed with labor-saving in mind. Local county agents have available plans for self-f ,eding hay storage barns and silos. The y also lhave plans for creep feeders, f ed thoughs and feed! lot layouts.

Those interesed may also find plans for corrals, chutes, gates and similar labor-saving 'equipment and can obtain blueprints of these and other kinds of buildings and equipment.

Allen suggests for those interested in constructing buildings and equipment which will save labor and time on the farm' and ranch a visit with the local county agent. He has a catalog listing the plans and blueprints which are available without cost. Planning done before construction zegins will insure the maximum return on the investment, points out the engineer and greatly reduce the chances for makinf costly errors. e 4, (

The states and territories, then comprising the Union had a total population (exclusive of Indians) of 3,929,214 — about half the present population of New York City.

The most populous was Virginia, with a population of 747,610. In earlier times the population of the American colonies had only been estimated.

When the Governor of New York in 1712 attempted to take a census, he met with opposition on Biblical groun4s, and a few years later New Jersey's plan to take a census faced similar public resistance. Aside from religious reasons, people objected to a census because the count was to be used to determine conscription and taxation. The United States Constitution directs that a census be undertaken every ten years for purposes of determining representation of each state in the House of Reprerentativs although census data is used in many other important ways. According to the 1950 census, the population of the United States was 150,697,361 — however, it is estimated that the 1960 census, to be taken on April 1, will show a figure of about 18,000,000. e 4 • (
