Action came when the United Mine Workers union head was leaving federal court in Washington during a recess in his contempt of court trial, CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM Well, there should be a little more butter on the market now. But definitely! You see, we at Ginger Farm have gone out of the milk business and into the cream. That is something I have been wanting Partner to do for some time but--well, shipping milk when one is short of help looks the easier, also the financial returns appear to be better. I say "appear" because that really is a debatable question. In hard cash the weekly cream cheque at present prices cannot compare with a milk cheque at all. But then there are so many angles to consider. Personally 1 find a little skim milk around the house is quite an asset. So often I have wanted to make things in the past and didn't because they took too much milk, Of course I could have used whole milk but--many of you will know how it is--a milk-ship- ping farmer's wife doesn't use any more milk than she has to, especi- ally if the cans wre down a bit. Most shippers are on a quota basis and those cans must be filled no matter what. : * * R Another good thing about separ- ating--it is just grand to have a little cream for speclal occasions. By Gwendoline P. Clarke water. However, when we decided to make this change there was one big fly in the ointment. We couldn't make a job of it without buying a new cream separator--the old one was really past praying for. So we bought a new separator-- and while we were at it we got one with a power motor attached. So now we are really set. although I might add a separator is an ex- _ pensive piece of machinery and re- presents the price of a good many cans of cream. Maybe if the price of butter goes up it will hurt less if a few people remember that. * * » Separating is also hard work-- that is if there is very much milk to go through. It has always wor- ried me to sce Partner doing the job but now it is no trick at all. A few turns of the handle, a flip of the switch and away she goes. In fact I often do the separating while Partner is feeding the cows. However, as if to remind us that no plan is ever perfect, last Tues- day the power went off. It was on when I left the house but when I got to the barn everything was dead. Of course the separator had to be turned by hand--and that is one time I didn't do the job. -- Sunk Tirpitz [J] HORIZONTAL wings (2 Pictured Brit-60 Moved ish flyer, Wing through air Commander 62 Mend J.

Little Help for Miners Members of the United Mine Workers (AFL) can count on lit- tle financial help from the federal and state governments in sitting out their coal strike. Only four states pay unemploy- ment benefits to strikers under any conditions and all these require waiting periods ranging from four to eight wecks before the payments begin, One, Pennsylvania, may not allow the coal strikers to be paid in the present walkout.
