QUALITY CONCRETE PIPE for Ui kiibp Crop Donations Go From County On Thanksgiving mm OEB Foil Nitrogen on Grasses and Seed Benefits Harvest course, that the largest single purpose to which government funds are directed is to the military and allied purposes. W’hile the admirals and the generals try to tie each other up in knots over who’s going to build the biggest airplane or the biggest aircraft carrier, it seems that at least they can unify their efforts in gouging huge scoops from the public trough. The forces that wanted this “ generah*in crease” in wage allotments started a rather public campaign that was sought to inspire sympathy and horrified agreement to the picture o f underpaid military leaders. Gen erals Eisenhower, Bradley and others, who had served nobly in the uniform of their country, were listed as in favor o f the bill. But after the beginning publicity, little was noted o f the movement. Now perhaps its is a shameful disrespect to argue an accomplished fact. The generals have really made a haul and the taxpayers might as well make up their minds they are stuck with it. But, o f course, there are ques tions to be answered. W hatever happened to the concept of pul>- lio Rprvice. patriotic duty and 20 year’s security which life in a uniform was sup posed to exem plify? It seems unbelievable that military leaders have been so underpaid that they deserve an increase of $3600 a year. The most har rowing tale o f hardship and privation that the generals might be able to build up would leave many o f us cold and unmoved. To make the higher ranks o f the military so extremely well-paid will not further the wishes o f those who do not favor inflated military budgets. And as for military effici ency, history does not o ffe r any basis for the belief that a well-paid military strategist is a competent one. And most certainly the record of battle— which should he the common level o f com parison— never set the value o f an army private in ratio o f 6 to 300 with any gen eral. KIN \ N C IA L I.EG ER D EM \IN liberal education from a flock o f banty chickens. There is something about these birds that smacks o f independence and arro gance and though they might bedevil you at times, you can’t help but give them their due credit. We have a cocky little rooster who rides herd on three hens. He is an imperative lord o f his flock and you never see him but that his subordinates are well within cluck ing distance. In this case, o f course, the banties are as they should lie. ranging the grounds without restrictions. No fence to hem them in and no dependence on man for food, shelter or wa ter. The world is their world and th e ir! whims are paramount. It so happens that one o f the most desir able social traits o f these miniature chickens is their ability to produce a beautiful, golden yolked egg. as perfect a masterpiece as ever graced a breakfast plate. This we dis covered one Sunday morning, upon stum bling onto three carefully nested eggs in an unused, hay-filled manger. It became a matter o f great anticipation. W e resolved to make “ regular collections” and put to good use the unexpected bonanza. Resolutions and intentions, indeed! For a full week, we carefully scouted all likely nesting spots— and came up empty handed. Then, by another accidental stumble, a nest yielded 14 eggs, about half o f them usable in the kitchen and the rest for pet food. And, despite an ensuing search, almost two weeks went by before another dozen e g g s 1 were discovered. There can be no denying the campaign of the hantv flock to confuse and hinder pleas ant breakfasts is annoying. It is a waste of time and effort. It’s a frustration o f a sym bolic role we’d be only too happy to have the chickens live up to. But to all this, the banties are blissfully unconcerned. They go about their private ways, doing what they want to do and lay ing their eggs wherever and whenever they might desire. It ’s enough to teach us. too. that we can’t count our eggs too soon— in fact, not until we discover them!
