High Protein
Grass silage stored early is high
in protein, vitamins and total
digestible nutrients, Newell said
Sunday afternoon in announcing
the meeting, and urging other
grass farmers to get ready for
their silage chopping.
ParC of the Rowie dairy set-up
that will interest many livestock
people, Newell believed, is his
"green chop" program used for
the past two years. Pastures are
cut and hauled to the cows in
stead of the cows being brought
out to the pastures. Last season,
pastures were cut six times and
taken to the cows.
Everyone who is interested, in
the making of green grass silage
is asked to come to this meeting.

' The demonstrations were called
for Sunday by the South Viet Nam
revolutionary junta or committee.
The eight man group also was ex
pected to call for immediate es
tablishment of a republic.
The junta claimed the demon
stration was not aimed against the
French. But blaring sound trucks
circulated through Saigon and the
streets of adjacent Cholon calling
the two million inhabitants to as
semble in the market place at 9
ajn. Sunday to mark their hatred
of colonialists and - their puppet
emperor Bao Dai.
phy, who acted as trial judge at
the "citizens arrest" trial of 41-year-old
Charles and George Finn
in Los Angeles, ruled here late
Saturday it would be "unheard of
in the annals of our history" to
vacate a prison sentence because
prisoners refused to eat. !
The widely-publicized case grew
out of a dispute of a government
surplus plane the twins bought
from a ,Kern ' County school
district. The Finns made what they
called a "citizens arrest" of U. S.
Attorney Laughlin Waters in Los
Angeles in January, 1954.
No Crime'
They were sentenced to a year
in prison for conspiracy to prevent
Waters from discharging official
duties, and for forcibly impeding
him in their performance. Sentence
came after the twins, who j insist
they have committed no .crime, re
fused to accept probation. I
Last July IS the twins ended a
23-day jail hunger strike in Los
aW Angeles when they were freed on
$1,000 bond each pending an ap
peal. . .
U. S. Judge William C. Mathes
awarded the twins the surplus C46
plane last Dec. 9 and ordered the
government to pay the Finns $15
a day rent for the plane from the
date it was seized, Sept. 21, 1952.
Pleas for clemency for the Finns
come from high sources. j

but It'c changed a lot In recent yoaro I
Th ere are a number of reasons behind the cur
rent trend to do-it-yourself." Among them
there's been a big movement to the suburbs in
recent years
more than half of America's families now own
their homes
' more of us have more free time these days
many jobs have been made easier for the amateur
Here are a few of the results: over half our fami
lies have taken up "do-it-yourself." 11 million
homes now have workshops. Sales of portable
power tools have soared twentyf old in eight
years. 35 million women make their own clothes.
TDo-it-yourselT gives the opportunity to im
prove one's living and to feel the solid satisfae-'
tion of creating something useful or beautiful
. with ones own hands.
Here is another significant example of the extent
to which we are doing things for ourselves. 93
million Americans are using life insurance today
to provide for their own on their own. They are
doing this, of course, with the help and advice
of their life, insurance agents. ...
One of the main purposes for which they use
life insurance is to guarantee money for the
family in case of the father's death.
And they ara also using life insurance for many
other things to cover the mortgage ... to assure
money for the children's education ... to help ,
build an adequate retirement program. In fact,
more than half of all life insurance benefits are
now paid to the polkyholden themselves.
Today, life insurance is Americds most popular
form of thrift.
