Ph. 3-7632 ed one of the keen disappointments of Charles Lucht, Molalla route 3, -who has returned to his home after : spending the -summer in Great Britain as a representative of the Future Farmers .of Ameri ca in the cooperative youth pro gram. He was one of four boys who made the trip. Highlights of his visit were trips to the U. S. em bassy in London, Buckingham palace, Westminster abbey. Par liament and St. Paul's cathedral. Virtually all the summer was spent on farms studying agricultural projects. Major differences noted by Lucht between British and Amer ican farming was that Britain uses more hand labor than used in the United States. The emphasis is on production per acre rather than production per man, Lucht said. Expenses of the trip were paid by the Federation of Young Far mers clubs of Great Britain and the U. S. Future Farmers 'organization.

Youth Crime Prevention Talk Subject Responsibility for halting the rising crime rate among youth rests with everyone, not just with law enforcement and specialized youth agencies, Maj. Charles Ben nett of the Salvation Army assert ed at Thursday's Salem Optimist club luncheon. Bennett, commander of the Sa lem corps, pointed out the effect of the divorce rate, rising from .5 per 1,000 in 1890 to 4 per 1,000 in 1944. He declared that indicates a lack of the love and understand ing needed by young people, who should learn to both receive from and give love to everyone, not just a selected few. The Optimists adopted a resolu tion erpressing appreciation to the local press "for its 'service to the community and nation," as part of National Newspaper week. News papers were praised for keeping alive freedoms we hold dear."

Six more mid-valley men re ceived calls to service Thursday The lone Seabee was SN Michael E.

Morey, jr., inspectors-instructor for the Salem navy marine reserve training center, said this made a total of 82 sur face division and 20 Seabee unit members called up. They have received replacements of about 25 and .5 men, respectively. Nearly all the men ordered to active duty have been rated specialists. Commander Morey urged that men in the lower draft ages may join the reserve if not yet classi fied.
