I Generally life runs smoothly fori a time with Mon and fop assur ing Junior that once he gets 16 he can have a car if he pays for it. Sometimes, that's the sticker be cause, after all, it's really more fun to take in a movie on Satur day night and before long it seems that all the money is gone. A good many teen-agers can't afford a car, even a cheap one, but Woody Ahcrn of "Boy Gets Car" by Henry Gregor Fclscn, thought he could. After begging and pleading for an old car and saving money too, Woody got a car, valued at $40. He quickly dub bed the car "Sidekick" and from the moment the 13-year-old heap of metal became his, Woody lav ished all his love and devotion on it. He devoted so much time and attention to Sidekick that he ex cluded all other activities that are a normal part of a teen-age boy's life. So what, thought Woody! Just wait till Sidekick is finished. However, as sometimes happens, there came a time when Woody ran out of money for tools and spare parts and he almost lost his girl through a misunderstanding over the heap. Before Sidekick was ready to drive. Woody had learned a great deal, not only about cars but about human rela tionships and his own goal in life. Every teen-ager who dreams of owning a car will feel a sense of identity with Woody and will find many pages of enjoyable reading in this new book, which is now shelved at Douglas County Li rary. . .

Battle To Get You To Save Equals Drive To Get You To NEW YORK (AP) The battle to get you to save a dollar is growing about as keen as the drive to get you to spend it. And more and more you have the choice of taking your dollar to the saving institution of your choice or letting your boss do it for you. The latter is supposed to be the painless way of getting a bond or an insurance policy as pain less, that is, as paying your in come tax or providing a pension. Uncle Sam urges you to save with him by buying savings bonds and holding on to them and has sweetened the return to tempt you. You can buy the bonds at a bank or through payroll deduc tions. At the same time Uncle Sam is making a bit more money available for consumer spending to nudge the economy out of stag nation and back to growth. Save or spend, either way you're a hero to some official. Private shepherds for your sav ings vie with each other to get you to darken their particular door or save through payroll plans. Various institutions entice new customers with premiums, such as household articles. Commercial and mutual savings banks have raised the interest they pay on deposits, in many cases as high as various laws will allow. Savigs and loan associations WHTtf" Il.i nil. have raised interest rates espe cially in growing West Coast communities where demand for loans is pressing. They advertise their higher yields in East Coast papers where rates are lower. - Of late Washington has urged a stop to the hiking of interest on savings so that the associa tions can lower mortgage charges as a spur to more home building. Credit unions have been grow ing steadily and meeting compe tition from in-plant savings and lending plans of banks. Mutual funds and insurance companies have been singing the praises of their own form of in vesting your savings as preferable to the other's. Just now the insurance com panies are boasting of big gains in the payroll deduction way of taking out insurance. Individuals buy life insurance through their office or plant. In 1949 such salary savings came to ' $300 million. In 1959 more than $1.5 billion was put on the books this way. The Institute of Life Insurance estimates that in I960 the sum topped $2 billion, with more than 30.000 companies providing such service 6,000 of them for the first time last year. A pioneer in the field, Equitable Life Assurance Society, says in 19ti0 its sales of salary savings insurance on 21.500 policies topped $125 million, up five fold in 10 years. Equilabie's pioneer plan .1. A Dollar Spend It was ior employes of the New York Telephone Company in the mid-1920s. Increasingly active in the field are such companies as New York Life, John Hancock, Penn Mutual, Metropolitan,1 Travelers, Phoenix Mutual, Aetna, Connecticut Gen eral, Prudential and Shenandoah. In all 116 companies include such plans in their portfolios. A similar allotment plan is available to members of the armed forces through representa tives of private insurance com panies who have permission to solicit sales on . military bases. The government deducts the in surance premiums. W-D Church Slates Guest Sundry Speaker District Superintendent the Rev. E. J.

H ......... in Reds Infiltrate Ministry Claims John Birch Head LOS ANGELES (AP) Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, says: "Protestant minis ters do not become Communists but Communists do become Protestant ministers." He told a capacity audience of 6,000 at the Shrine Auditorium Tuesday night that Communists and their sympathizers are infil trating the Protestant ministrv because it is the last place where I Americans would expect to find ithem. "There are about 200,000 min I islers, and only about 7,000 of I them could be called 'com- symps, he added. "Nobody is accusing the other 97 per cent of anything except the gullibility and apathy with which Americans as, a whole are afflicted." He defined a "comsymp" as a "Communist or a sympathizer with Communist purposes." About 35 persons picketed the auditorium, but there was no vi olence. The meeting was spon sored by the Freedom Club of the Los Angeles First Congrega tional church. The John Birch So ciety, which describes itself as a militantly anti-Communist organ ization, is named after an Ameri can intelligence officer killed by Chinese Communists 10 days after World War II ended. in minenii T l km Farmers Urged To Gather Info For Grain Plan , .Farmers who intend signing up to take part in the 1961 feed grain program were urged to bring the necessary information with them when they visit the county ASC office. Curtis Barker, chairman of the Douglas County Agricultural Stab ilization and Conservation Com mittee, pointed out that this would save inconvenience to the farmer and permit the county office to process the farmer's application more quickly. . Voluntary.- Reducing ' The 19til feed ( grain program provides for the voluntary reduc tion of corn, and grain sorghum acreage from the? 1959-60 base for these crops on individual farms. Farmers who make the reduction will receive payments for divert ing the former corn or grain sor ghum acreage to conservation uses. The chairman explained that the producer should have with him when he goes -to the county office a report covering the acreage and crops on his , arm in 1959 and 1960. Many farmers have already supplied this information to the county office.: '.,, Establish Bue With this information, the coun ty ASC committee will establish a base for the farm (for corn or grain sorghum or both: and will determine- the Tates of payments. A noiceof these determinations will be sent the, farmer, and he should then complete and file an intention-to-participate form. If he wants an advance payment half the total payment to be earned, he should also file an application at that time. While the 1961 feed grain pro gram is voluntary, producers of corn and grain sorghum must par ticipate in order to be eligible for price support on (1) their normal production of 1961 crop corn and grain sorghum and (2) any of their other feed grains this year barley, oats, or rye.
