Few motorists stop to think of the possibility of their automobile's catching fire, says Secretary of State Earl Snell, and for that reason they are often panic stricken when a fire does break out, whether under the hood or in the upholstery. If a fire extinguisher is not handy, the sat est thing to do is to throw dirt or sand on the fire, Snell says, water is to be avoided as an extinguisher, since it causes a blaze in oil or gas oline to spread rapidly, rather than putting it out. The ignition switch should also be turned off at the first sign of fire.

Hill has received appoint ment as governor of the Farm Credit administration, succeeding W. I. Myers, recently named head of the Department of Agricultural Econ omics at Cornell University. Hill has worked continuously at the Farm Credit administration since it was organized in 1933, and has been dep uty governor since 1934. Although still only 37 years old, Hill is widely known for his work in agricultural economics and farm financing. His experience was drawn upon heavily by the Farm Credit administration in perfecting the "normal value" appraisal policy which enabled- the Federal land banks and Commissioner to refin ance over two billion dollars of farm mortgage debts following the break down of agricultural credit in 1932- 1933. Born on a farm near Kingman, Kansas, not far from the heart of the winter wheat belt, Hill lived there until he was 12 years old when his family moved to a 1500-acre farm near Davison, Saskatchewan. At that time American farmers were homesteading new Canadian spring wheat land. While he was growing up, going to school and farming, what Hill saw of the boom and col lapse in commodity prices and land values during and after the World War period impressed him lastingly. At Cornell university where he was awarded a scholarship in 1923, after graduating from the Univer Gazette Times, Heppner, sity of Saskatchewan and working for a time as agricultural extension agent, Hill specialized in farm man agement, agricultural credit, coop erative marketing and other studies accenting agricultural stability. Later, at the Federal Land Bank of Springfield, Massachusetts, where he was agricultural statistician and comptroller, and afterward at Cor nell as Research Professor of Land Economics,. Hill made exhaustive studies which showed the vital im portance to farmers of good soil in lifting mortgage debt. He was among the first to point out the almost uni versal tendency in American agri culture to over-value poor land and under-value good land in apprais ing farms for mortgage loans. The new governor has also taken a leading part in developing the 535 production credit associations and 13 banks for cooperatives, in line with the Farm Credit administra tion's policy tf providing a complete and permanent system of coopera tive credit for farmers.

Ben nett, Glen Hayes, Luke Bibby and Fred Mankin comprised a party hunting in the Indian Rock section over on Desolation which returned the first of the week, each in pos session of a fine buck.
