McHeary . TeL McHenry 123-J At a sseeting of. represektativee of tile varioaa churches aad orgaaiaatioas of tk< eoaaty, held last Thursday evening at the eeunty «oart house, the Rev. Gilbert Weiashaar, pastor of the Crystal Lake Methodift ihureh, was elected chairmaa of the CHOP program to be carried on in the county. Rev. Weisshaar discussed the CROP program, which he adserted is "the Christian Rural Oversea« Program, to be handled and distributed to the needy by church agencies in Europe." The county goal was set at three carloads of evaporated or dried atilk and one carload of corn which will approximate $40,000. This amount is estimated at $1 per capita and will have to be ti all-out program throughout the county if the goal'is reached. Plans formulated at the meeting included a motion that the program operate on a basis of cash contributions to buy powdered milk and corn as a commodity. Each community in the county is now organizing and appointing chairmen to work out its canvassing Sroeedure. The drive will be conucted Nov, 21 through Nov. 28, aad assembled Nov. 29 to Dec. 2. , According to the chairman, "McHeary county, regarded as one of the richest agricultural and dairy counties in the state, has the problem of converting it* milk into cash for the purpose of purchasing dried or evaporated milk which ia in great demand overseas." A pledge ear<^ wili be presented by the canvfssers and a contributor may designate whether he wishes to have his contribution sent to the Catholic Rural Life. Church World 8ervice or Lutheran World Relief for distribution. Walter Winn, district PMA director of Spring Grove, and Roscoe Glenn of Union, also a PMA director, expressed favorable opinions on the program and suggested the cash contribution type of drive.

"A high-grade asm aurices the best sate driver," accordiag to James 8taa> aard Baker, research direeter of the Northwestera University TrafTie Institute. "Other things being equal," he said, "the people with very high intelligence Those Mia wtth ias, big appetites, the oaes who bifia dnaalag af that Thaskagiviag tidtqr early in Nevenber, wul be more titan pleased with the aanouneemeat of the Uaited 8t^tev agricultural department that more . . _ meat, milk and eggs are on the way to and those with very low intelligence' their tables. Because of this year's are the poorest drivers." The intel- (bountiful crops of feed grain, farmers lectuals, Mr. Baker has found, "take, are giving their livestock and poultry driving too easy," and don't keep their! heavier rations. The result is greater minds on it. "The driver with the extremely low I. Q. tries to learn, but he is not up to it. He does not profit from experience, because when he has an accident he doesn't know what he did wrong." • But the man who is not-too-bright, if he has good training, keen eyesight, volume of milk per cow, more- eggs per hen and heavier meat animals. The department said dairymen are feeding their eattle 13 per cent more grain and other feed than last year and in return are getting record milk per-cow production. Likewise, hens are putting out about 8 per cent more per bird than a year and is alert and fairlv mature, is thei*£°* safest, most careful of "all drivers. His! I**® department said Held reports in mind is not highly stimulated; he is i dicate that at least as many beef cattle less subject to day dreams, and is less grain-fed this fall and winter likely to bee<Mne bored with the mechanics of driving than the man with the superior mind. He has little imagination; hen<>e he is not distracted from the road: bv every bit of activity he passes "He plays sn important part in our society," Mr. Baker emphasized, "and as nccessar^- and desirable as the highly intellectual person." That accidents are more prevalent with the college-level driver was shown during the depression when college graduates were hired toy'drive buses, Mr. Baker said. Their accident rate was half again as high as that of drivers with below average intelligence. The college-level person learns driving quickly, but he doesn't learn thoroughly, Mr. Baker declared. He does not form automatic driving habits, but instead decides what to do whenever crisis arises. As he gets older, his decisions are slower, and he becomes a hazard on the road, the traffic engineer pointed out. The worst drivers of all, he said, are the 16-year-olds, who have ton times as many accidents as do their fathers. They can't keep their ininds bn drivr, Mr. Baker concluded. AS last, aad that the numbers ofv hags and chiekeas are expected to increase in 1949. The department said weather continued favorable during September and most of October for maturing and drying «prn, thus assuring a record- qaaa* tity of good-qaality grain for the 1948- 49 feeding seaaon. Supplies of all feed concentrates, total about 1<M,()00,00d tons, which is a record in i elation to the number of livestock to be fed. Lats af Tin Cans Vi.; Last year almost 26 billion tin cans were made in this country, a boost of nine million over the prewar average yearly output. This increase has been made despite tin and steel limitations because of new developments in soldering and the electrolytic method of coating steel plate with less tin. - U.

The place to start in getting such insects under control is at the empty corn crib.
