NAME 1974 Wool Payment Rate Announced An incentive payment rate of 21.8 percent of 1974 marketings of shorn wool has been an nounced by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The announced payment rate is based on the difference bet ween the national average price of 59.1 cents a pound received by producers during 1974 and the previously- announced incentive price of 72 cents a pound. Incentive payments to wool growers are required under the National Wool act of 1954, as amended. The 1974 payment rate compares with the 1972 rate of 105.7 percent. Payments on 1974 marketings of wool will be <"*F NO. OF CHILDREN CHECK ONE: 1 want to visit a farm.. I'd like to have a city family visit our farm. Which day is best?

The war had marked his face, there were no tears in his blue eyes.... what terrible shame and disgrace... to hand the sword of death over this young child. He had nothing left to hold in his little hands. He had lost everything... in this, his own land. Just standing here on this dirty dusty road waiting for a good word or a helping hand... but no one came.... nobody, wanted to be his friend.... Why do the children always have to pay the price for every war, in every land? Why can't we spare the pain, sorrow and tears , for the children, everywhere? .

There were no payments made on 1973 wool marketings since the national average price during 1973 exceeded the support level. A grower's wool payment on 1974 marketings is determined by multiplying his net dollar return from the sale of wool by the payment rate of 21.8 per cent. This percentage method of payment is designed to en courage growers to improve the quality and marketing of their wool. In any marketing year for which incentive payments are made, the higher the price a grower receives for his wool, the larger his payment will be. A payment rate of 52 cents per hundredweight on unshorn lambs sold or slaughtered in 1974 was also announced by USDA This payment is designed to compensate growers for the wool they market on liye lambs rather than as shorn wool. The payment is based on the shorn wool payment rate, average weight of wool per. hun dredweight of lambs, and value of lamb's wool relative to the national average of shorn wool. Deductions of l'/2 cents a pound from 1974 shorn wool payments and 7"2 cents a hundred pounds of liveweight from 1974 lamb payments will be made to finance advertising, sales promotion, and related market development activities. These deductions, provided for in the National Wool Act, were approved by an 85.5 percent favorable vote by sheepmen voting in a November 1974 referendum. USDA'a Agricultural Stabilization and Con- serveration service will begin making the payments to growers^ shortly through its county offices. The average of $1.37 a pound received by growers who sold mohair in 1974 was 56.8 cents above the announce support level of 80.2 cents a pound. Therefore, no government payments will be required on * 1974 marketings of mohair. CD. of A. Board Opposes Equal Rights Amendment The National board of the 812,000-member Catholic Daughters of America (CDA) has taken an official stand against the proposed Equal Rights amendment. The action was taken at a meeting of the board in Miami. National Regent Winifred L. Trabeaux of Plaquemine, La., said that "the vague language of the ERA poses a threat, not a support of women's right. Specific problems in women's rights should be dealt with by specific laws to meet those problems." The board reaffirmed its belief "in the effective and continual enforcement of aH laws protecting wom^rfs ^ rights, such as the Equal Employment Opportunities act of 1972 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964." Thereare 1,600 local courts who come under the jurisdiction of the CDA National court. It is the largest Catholic women's organization in the world and is headed by the board composed of five officers and nine directors. Archbishop Philip Hannan of New Orleans serves as chaplain of the national organization. The Law Serves You Family Camping Can Be Economical Vacation PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1975 Public Rights In Private Property In view of the high regard for private property in our legal system, one might expect to find a common belief that any individual who owns real estate has complete control over it, and may do with it as he wishes. However, this is not necessarily true. In a growing number of instances the law has determined that the rights of the public supersede those Of the private property owner. •. One such instance is illustrated by the following hypothetical situation: Suppose Smith and Jones are adjoining landowners and the most convenient access to and from Jones' property is across the property of Smith. Jones therefore continually drives across the edge of Smith's land with Smith's knowledge but without his verbal consent. Other members of the public also use this approach in driving to and from the property of Jones, and do so in a continuous and uninterrupted manner for a period of years. Eventually, other possible approaches to Jones' land become unavailable. If Smith were free to do whatever he wanted with his property he would have Jones at his mercy. He could barricade the road along the edge of his property and completely seal off the property of Jones. He might even attempt to charge an outrageous fee for continued use of his land in this manner. The Illinois legislature has determined that such conduct should not be allowed. The Illinois legislature has provided that any person who obstructs a "highway" may be ordered to remove the obstruction by the hiehwav authority having jursidiction over such "high way", and may be fined for placing the obstruction or refusing to remove it. The term "highway" is defined by the legislature as: "any public way for vehicular travel which has been . used by the public as a highway for 15 years . . . A highway in a rural area may be called a 'road' while a highway in a municipal area may be called a 'street'." In the example above, if the 15 year requirement is met and if it can be said that the passageway was used by the "public", then Jones is protected from arbitrary or unreasonable acts by Smith. In defining public use, Illinois Family camping can be an economical vacation, says Dave Plochner, McHenry county Extension adviser. With the state of the economy, many families may find it necessary to reevaluate their vacation plans this summer. One alternative is family camping at one of the several Illinois 4-H camps. A family can live in a cabin or in their own tent or camper. Meals are prepared by the camp kitchen staff and served in a dining hair so Mom can enjoy her vacation too. A camp program staff, in cluding a nurse, will be on duty at all times to supervise educational activities, such as nature hikes and campfire courts have said: "In deter mining whether a strip of ground has become a public highway by user the test is not the number of persons actually using it, but the character of the use," that is, whether or not the public, generally, had the free and unrestricted right to use the road." The highway authority is also given the right to remove any obstruction, after giving 10 days' notice to Smith, and to recover the cost of removal from him. Thus it is not necessary for the aggrieved party (Jones) to take the law into his own hands. programs, and to teach crafts, swimming, canoeing, rafting, volleyball, and other sports. The program provides plenty of free time so every member of the family can "do his own thing," whether fishing, sun bathing, or reading, says Dave. Since no camping gear is required and the fees include meals, lodging, and equipment, family camping is an economical vacation, says Plocher. Camp sites and the dates of family camping are: White Eagle 4-H Camp, Adeline, 111., off Highway 72, southwest of Rockford, June 20-22, July 18- 20, and July 21-25; Shaw-waw- nas-see 4-H camp, near Kankakee River State park, off Highway 102, west of Kankakee, June 30-July 4, July 4-6, and August 15-17; Western 4-H camps, Jacksonville, off Highway 104. southeast of Jacksonville, July 12-13, and Southern Illinois 4-H camp, West Frankfort, ten miles east of West.Frankfort, off Highway 149, Aug. 8-9.
