ANNOUNCES TERMINATION OF JOINT PROGRAM CROP, the Christian Rural Overseas Program, sponsored by Catholic Rural Life (WRS-NCWC), Church World Service and Lutheran World Relief, will be terminated a}j a joint program, it was disclosed by representatives of these church agencies at the conclusion of a conference held in New York. Church World Service, a department of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in America, will conduct a CROP program with its own constituency with the agreement of Withdrawing agencies. In announcing the discontinuation of their joint CROP sponsorship, resonsible officials of the three major church relief agencies declared that their decision had been reached without reference to the present continuing need. The three agencies recognize the continuing need and while Church World Service will continue CROP operations, war relief services of the National Catholic Welfare Conference and Lutheran World Relief will seek to meet the need through their own channels. CROP has collected farm commodities throughout the United States since 1947 for distribution among needy people in hungerstricken . areas of the world. Donations have reached an approximate total of 5,500 railway carloads of food and fibers at an estimated value of over $11,000,000. Distribution was made in thirtytwo countries overseas by the sponsoring agencies reigardless of race, creed or color, soley on the basis of the greatest need. CROP'S achievement lay in the meeting of the most urgent needs in stricken countries immediately after the last war. It was the largest program for the collection of farm commodities for relief and served all religious faiths. Its operations combined the humsnitarian efforts of Catholics and the majority of Protestant denominations in the United States. The initial response was one or strong public support but responsible officials revealed that "decreasing public support of the joint operation has made it Unecomomical, at this time.** .

CAR LICENSE PLATES BOUGHT AT FASTEST RATE IN HISTORY • Illinois motorists are purchasing passenger car license plates at the fastest rate in history. Secretary of State Bdward J. Barrett's office has announced. According to C. R. Hodgman, assistant Secretary of State, more tlum 1.600,000 passenger license plates had been issued by midnight of Feb. 13. This represents an increase of approximately 25 percent over the same day in 1951. Hodgman attributed sharp increase1' in sales of the paBt two weeks to the cooperation of newspapers and radio stations throughout the state in issuing warnings to motorists to obtain license plates prior to Feb. 15. After t n e newspapers and radios joined the campaign, the O v e r - t h e - c o u n t e r s a l e s i n t h e Springfield and Chicago offices of the Secretary of State Increased by as much as 150 per cent, Hodgman said. Mail applications showed a similar Increase. Sales in Chicago on Feb. 13 totaled more than 28,000 passenger plates, a new record high. Two Weeks previously sales had only averaged about 8,000 per day. Hodgman said automobile investigators for the office of Secretary of State will immediately begin issuing warninf notices to all motorists who still lack 1952 passenger plates. ° Hodgman also said that the sale of truck licenses are ahead of 1951 despite the delay of almost a month caused by . court opinions holding unconstitutional the truck licensing law passed by the 67th General Assembly. % Complete line of Beefee livestock remedies at Watties Brag Store McHenry. gtf Renew that subscription tr the Plaindealer aav...<- ^ Weather Forecasters Soon To Be Aided In Predicting Storms. The same type of radar equipment the Army and Navy used during World War II for detecting airplanes in the sky may soon be aiding Chicago weather forecasters by spotting distant rain clduds and thus help in predictions of sudden storms. Public Service, company of Northern Illinois and Commonwealth Edison company, In cooperation with the Chicago office of the United States Weather Bureau, will soon be ready to begin experiments with the radar equipment at the weather bureau station at Municipal Airport. Inital tests have been made at the airport to determine whether the use of the radar equipment would interfere with the planeto- tower communications and the airport's blind landing radar system. It was found that the equipment did not interfere with the airport facilities. The radar device, utilizing war surplus material, consists of a scanning disk about 2% feet in diameter and auxiliary tubes and electrical equipment The device sends out microwaves which "see" clouds as far away as 60 miles. The clouds, to be spotted by the disk, must be moisture-laden. There will be no signal reflected from ordinary clouds which are not rain-bearing. If it works out as its planners hope, It will aid in measuring £ more accurately the - approach of moisture-laden clouds by making possible the determination of the location of the clouds, their density, altitude, direction and rate of travel. The equipment, owned ^nd adapted by the utilities, will be maintained by theih. It will be operated, however, by the Weather Bureau, as a tool in forecasting sudden storms and the types of storms. The information furnished by the radar equipment will be used to supplement other meteorological data. Although radar equipment is being used in some other locations in weather forecasting, the two utilities are pioneering with it in this area. It is emphasized that the program is still experimental. If it proves successful, the utilities will give consideration to making additional installations to obtain complete coverage for the entire northern Illinois ax e a which the companies -operate. The weather is an important factor in the eleetric utilities field as it affects the maintenance and operation of equipment as well as the demands of customers. Hence, the interest of the companies in the experiment being undertaken with the cooperation of the Weather Bureau.
