^Thursday, March 1/1962 Sunnyside Estates JOHN KELSO VISITS FAMILY ON NAVY LEAVE Polly Stevens - 385-1256 & The Kelso household was all "'twitter last week. Their eldest son, John, was home on his first leave after completing his basic training at San Diego Naval Base. As a recruit John became squadron leader of his company and later became company yeoman. Then came pneumonia! After recuperating from his illness. he was transferred to another company ;«jvhere he earned a recruit pet- Ty officer rating. On his return he will go to service school for 24 weeks to become a fire control technician which is in the electronic field. John's parents, Florence and | Jack, and sister and brother, Lillian and Bob, knew of the 1 upcoming leave but weren't • sure of the date of arrival. John didn't write the folks and dtteil . them he was arriving ^Wednesday, Feb. 21. He would call from Chicago and surprise them, he thought! He did suc- • ceed in surprising his father, j? sister and brother but when f Florence was asked if she was 5 surprised to receive his call she I replied, "No, I had three pies I in the oven and was defrosting | his favorite pork chops." THAT | is a mother's intuition! Welcome home, John, have a hap- E py visit with your family and i friends and don't eat too much of Mom's good cooking. 4, Sympathy We would like to extend our sympathy to Joan and Stan Walczynski on the death of her uncle, Walter C. Jones, of Chicago. Mr. Jones passed way Wednesday, Feb. 21, afer a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife.

Holiday Hill* BOY SCOUTS VISIT CAMP LOWDEN RECENTLY /" N Inex Young The Boy Scouts of <Troop No. 132 spent a thoroughly enjoyable and very enlightning day Feb. 10 at Camp Lowden near Oregon. Approxi m a t e 1 y 1,000 boys from the Rlack Hawk area attended the wildlife conservation. What made the day so interesting was that the Army, Navy and Marine corps were also represented and they went out in groups with the boys and used their walkie talkies as they looked for wildlife tracks in the snow. The boys covered about five miles going through Pine First. They found tracks of many different animals, among them were rabbit, muskrat and deer. Scoutmaster Justes tells me he was with a group of photographers when eighteen deer went by and not one of them had a camera ready. The boys carried their own lunch and brought a can of soun along which was ready for], fhem along with hot chofcofattf^ when they returned. By the way the next time you see a Boy Scout check and see if he's sporting a patch that has a running deer on it --If he has he's really earned and had fun doing so. Girl Scouts Bowl Fifteen of our Girl Scouts the weather was warm, no snow on the ground or icicles hanging from the roof? It seems as if I have always lived in a world of ice and snow. Spring, Where, oh 'where art thou? The weather has certainly affected the social activities of our community, no goin's or comin's much, so not much news. Are you tired of reading the same names over and over? Well! do something and give me a call so we can get some new names in the column.

The girls were split up fin three teams and had six alleys going. Only two girls were missing and that was because of illness. They're really enjoying this activity and have an able teacher in Mickey Walters who can hold her own at a bowling alley.

She has an excellent collection and belongs to the Rock Association club. When she's not busy with these activities, she's very much in demand as a baby sitter. Connie goes to St. Mary's school and is in fourth grade. Connie belongs to the Brownies and takes dancing lessons.

Farmers have reported a great variety of experiences with cover crops. Rye, rye-grass, alfalfa and sweet clover have been most coihmonly used. Tests made over a period of years on level or almost level land have shown no appreciable increase in corn yields for the use of the cover crop. In several cases the cover crops actually seem to have reduced yields. Although some advantages not measured in corn yield may have resulted, they were not evident. Use of a cover crop has the disadvantages of incurring extra costs for seed and labor. It also prohibits fall plowing which is often advantageous especially on such soil types as Drummer. This should not prohibit a cover crop's use on slbping fields that are subject to water erosion or on sand or peat soil that may need protection from wind. Assistant Adviser Baylor Says: Winter has past the half way mark and spring is not far away. S h a r e-the-fun is a springtime activity; every 4-H club should be planning a skit. It's lots of fun to prepare and present a skit at the county contest, and you have an excellent chance of winning. The. top act gets to attend state fair. 4-H public speaking contests will be held in early summer, but now is the time to be selecting a good topic for your speech. Do some planning well ahead of time. Economist Simerl Says: The first 1962 quarterly report of cattle on feed shows a favorable prospect for both the producers and the consumers of beef. The USDA report u showed that farmers are fattening enough cattle to provide an abundance of beef for consumers, but not enough to seriously depress prices. On Jan. 1, farmers in twentysix major feeding states were fattening 7,833,OOOz-head of cattle and calves. This was 2 per cent more than were being fattened the year before. Prospective marketings for this first quarter are up 3 per cent from the same period a year ago. Additional increases in beef supplies may come from the slaughter of more cows in 1962 than in 1961. The slaughter of cows was unusually small last year. Altogether, beef production is expected to be 3 or 4 per cent larger this year than it was in 1961. Population growth is following its usual trend. It is increasing about 1 2/3 per cent a year. Thus the supply of beef per person for this year should at least equal the record of nearly, 87 pounds available in 1961. MEN!
