Carnival Hufe Success Ittst Sunday evening ended the three-day carnival weekend for the Johnsburg Community club. Once again the members of the club and their wives pitched in to help make this undertaking a rousing success. Fish was served on Friday night to many people and a roast beef dinner was served family style Sunday afternoon to about 350 people. Enough can't be said for the wonderful way the women helped in the kitchen. Without their help the dinners could never have been so successful. Church Carnival Coming , Watch for the important dates of the annual carnival sponsored by St. John's church.

Outlook Cattle Feeding Business Improves The men who make our choice steaks and Sunday roast beef are smiling again. They are feeling 'better than they have felt for two or three years. The reason is that the declining prices of 1952 and 1953 have "been replaced by an upward trend. Feeder cattle prices were relatively low last fall. And fat steers have recently been sellirlg for $1 to $3 more j>er hundred pounds than they sold for last year. A year ago cattle feeders were operating on negative margins. They had paid $22 to $28 a, m hundred pounds for feeder cattle, [ _ ures, plus some guesses, indicate that purchases this year were at least two-fifths greater than in 1953 and about one-fourth greater than in 1952. These figures point to ncar-record supplies of fed cattle during the next several months. Consumer demand for beef is strong and promises to continue strong throughout the summer and fall. The summer travel and vacation business will be big this year, and this means lots of orders for steaks, roasts and hamburgers. By fall, employment may be increasing and consumer incomes look as if they may ex-" ceed the record levels of a year ago. ^ Summer Price Advance. Increasing supplies of pork will cut into the demand for beef, but most of the price adjustment will be made on hogs rather than rv m Page Fliieea Think Twice - - For Yourself And Other Driver, Warns Safety Council Bake Sale Next Sunday, July 4, St. John's is sponsoring another bake sale at the school. Stock up on your home-baked articles for your long holiday weekend. Anyone wishing" to donate home-baked articles should have them at the school 1 as early as f possible. Sales will continue after each of the masses. One or both of the drivers are at fault in about 75 per cent of *11 fatal traffic accidents. So the best advice for avoiding a traffic accident during the Fourth of July holiday, the National Safety Council says, is to think twice -- once for yourself and once for the other guy. WitS 40 million vehicles -- and drivers -- jamming the nation's highways during the three-day weekend, the chance for driver mistakes will be multiplied many times over the normal accident rtsk, warned Ned H. Dearborn, Council president. - "Traffic accidents don't just happen --- they are caused," he said. "Thpv are caused by human indifference, ignorance, recklessness, or lack of plain courteous and decent behavior. "A car does not go out of control until the driver loses his control over it." In an effort to reduce the holiday toll, the Council is coordinating a nationwide campaign in which 160 national organization! are participating. The campaign is designed to increase public awareness of the extra holiday hazards on the highways and the extra caution needed to overcome them. It also seeks to help officials, traffic officers, and safety leaders in their efforts to reduce traffic accidents over the Fourth. The Council suggests five points for the Foui th to help balance 'the extra highway hazards; 1. Don't drive after drinking -- even a little. 2. Cul your *usual cruising speed 10 miles an hour. 3. Double check before passing or changing lanes. 4. Don't follow the ear ahead too closely. 5. Don't compete in tra ffic -- let 'the other guy go first. White Gloves Selecting gloves?

A warning to all those who will be driving over next weekend. Please drive with caution. The highways will be packed with motorists going to and from their homes. Please drive carefully.

These prices meant substantial losses, because most farmers require a price advance in order to make a profit. This year many feeder cattle were bought for $14 to $18 and are now selling as fat steers for $20 to $26. These prices make a good profit for the cattle feeder. >. Record Slaughter f-antinues. From January to 7«Iay this year about 12 per cent more cattle were slaughtered than the record high of a year ago. Output of beef was about 10 per cent greater than the record high of last year. Slaughter of calves in January-May was up around 20 per cent, and veal production was up about 25 per cent. Cattle prices have been very good, considering the large volume of beef produced. The combined slaughter of cattle and calves in the first five months of this year was about 14 per cent above last year. If slaughter continues at this rate, total kill this year will reach about 42 million. That would probably reduce cattle numbers from the record of 95 million head last Jan. 1 to about 91 million next Jan. 1. But it now appears likely that slaughter will not continue at this rate and that cattle numbers will be reduced only one to three million head. Big Supply to Continue. Farmers were feeding 2 to 3 per cent fewer cattle on April 1 this year than a year ago. But they have ibought a good many replacement cattle. Corn-belt farmers apparently bought a record number of stocker and feeder cattle during January-May. Official fig*- prices of choice and prime steers advance more often in July, August and September than in any other months. Prices of these better grades of cattle seem likely to show about^ the average increase this summer. Representatives Of Home Bureau At Conference Mrs. Joe / Schalz, Woodstock, and Mrs. Ruth Fen wick, Huntley, last week attended the seventeenth annual citizenship conference of tfie Illinois Home Bureau Federation at Bradley University, Peoria.
