Mary's elder son, has been ailing. He underwent surgery at Doctor's hospital in Chicago last Friday and will probably be a patient there for a few weeks longer. Mary journeys to the city frequently to visit him. We're mighty happy to write that she no longer enjoys solitary meals. Her grandson. Ken Loesch, moved in with her after changing his place of employment some time ago, and his cheery presence is truly welcomed by Mary. A Hearty Welcome Home No strangers to our community are George Baumbeck and son, Rick, who moved into their recently acquired home two weeks ago.

Sure and it will be a "foine evening'" for all those who attend.

As we all know the American Legion is one of the leaders in the fight against communism so be sure to read "Blacklist" by Roy Brewer in this issue. Preparations are now being made for our annual carnival which will be held from June 30 through July 4. It might appear to some that we are jumping the gun in announcing it so early, but it is necessary to be prepared in advance if our carnival is to be a success. Many chairmen and workers will be needed to make this our biggest and best ever. Those who are interested in helping should get in touch with Skipper Wirfs. Just another reminder to those who have not as yet paid their 1962 dues, "You belong in the Legion." Tom Birmingham The nation's dairy price support program is likely to be overhauled. The present one is proving to be too expensive. Costs exceed one million dollars a day--and could become much greater. Everyone is, or should be, concerned with the dairy situation. Fanners want higher incomes. Consumers want 1 ow prices. Taxpayers want to reduce costs. Most persons have more than one interest in this problem. The federal government operates two kinds of dairy price programs: <1> marketing orders and (2J price support purchases. MILK M AR K E T I N h ORDERS. Milk marketing orders are now in effect in most of the nation's urban areas. They apply to "handles" the dairy companies that buy milk from | farmers and sell bottled m'.lk and other dairy products. These handlers are reguired to show how much milk they sell in fluid form and how much they use for making" manufactured products such as butter, c heese and ice cream. Minimum paying prices are established for each class of milk one price for fluid milk and a lower price for milk used for making butter, cheese, etc. The handlers may. and. sometimes do, pay more for milk than the minimum prices provided under the orders. A few months ago milk marketing orders were widely hailed as providing a solution to the income problems of dairy farmers. Now it is more generally recognized that they provide price stabilization, but very little price support. Prices are raised and lowered in response to changes in supply and demand. Price support op- j erations are carried out under an entirely different government program. DAIRY PRICE SUPPORT PROGRAMS. The government supports the price of milk by purchasing butter, cheese and nonfat dry milk at stated prices. In January, for example. the government purchased 44 million pounds of butter, 20 million pounds of cheese and 47 million pounds of nonfat dry milk. These products cost 43 million dollars. They are distributed mostly to schools, needy families ana foreign countries. The dairy price support program was begun in 1933. It was tapered off during and. soon after World War II. Then attempts to supf>ort prices at too-high levels brought trouble. Farmers stepped up their production of milk. In 1953 the USD A had to buy 359 million pounds of butter, 308 million pounds of cheese and 601 million pounds of nonfat dry milk. The butter and cheese represented more than S^percent of all milk produced that year. There was much public rebellion at the high cost of dairy price support. The price support levels were reduced about 13 percent in 1954. This helped to check production and stimulate sales. Purchases of butter and cheese were cut in half. The support levels were reduced further in 1959. This permitted the government to cut its purchases ,of butter to one-third of the 1953 amount and to discontinue purchasing cheese. Milk was almost on a free market. The incomes of daily farmers were improving. They government then reversed its policy. Price supports were raised once in 1960 and "'twice in 1961. Fanners increased production of milk. Sales decreased. The government soon was back in the price support business in a big way. Costs are again running too high for long public acceptance. Now govern m e nt/ officials apparently want farmers to accept production controls in order to cut costs of the price support program. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics SHOP IN McHENRY Local Leaders Review Scouts A new policy permitting troop committees to review applicants for Star and Life awards was announced by Le- Roy Hayes, Rockford, chairman of the Blackhawk Area council, Boy Scouts, advancement committee. This new policy conforms with regulations that have been in effect nationally for sometime. Each troop designates a board of review, composed of troop committee members. After this group has been trained in the proper procedures by the district advancement committee, they are authorized to conduct boards for all ranks to and including Life award. Applicants for Eagle must appear before a district board of review. One of the unusual features in Boy Scouting is its merit badge program of 101 subjects covering hobbies, skills, and vocations. Many men who were once Scouts feel that their lives were influenced by their merit badge work. Hundreds of doctors. engineers, forest rangers, and naturalists had their ambitions kindled while earning merit badges as Scouts. Dr. Paul A. Siple, explorer and geographer, who became a Boy Scout forty ye^xs ago, says that "life for every boy is a series of opportunities, of doors into the future, doors which open to the key of preparedness." BOY SCOUTS About 907r of New Eng-1 land's cities and tows are still governed by the town meeting. CUB PACK Ml Den 5, Pack 361, Cub Scouts, attended the local theatre with Den Mothers Mrs. Ficek.
