What many people don't
know about crabgrass
1. Crabgrass grows only from seed. The dead crabgrass
plants you see now will disintegrate and disappear leaving ugly bare
patches in your lawn. Crabgrass is an annual. It re-secds itself at the end
of each summer,
2. Last year's seed is In the ground. Crabgrass is one of na
ture's most prolific weeds. Right now, literally billions of crabgrass seeds
are waiting in most lawns for spring warmth to germinate. Then the vicious
cycle starts all over again,
3. You can keep it from coming up. A single winter applica
tion of Halts with the accurate Scotts Spreader creates an invisible barrier
against crabgrass. Halts lies in wait, kills crabgrass as it
sprouts. (Halts will not harm good grass -doesn't inter
fere with seeding.)
SAVE $5.00 -Halts 0.95) plus Scotts
Spreader (16.95) together only 21.90
Bring your lawn problems to our expert advisors. They have the know-how
and the experience to help you achieve the kind of lawn you want. It's
easier than you'd think, with a tested Scotts Program!

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
(Register and Tribune syndicate
1961)
Witness the Birth of
A Baby Porpoise
She was behaving in an
"unporpoise" manner. Instead
of coming to the surface of
the water and gulping a
breath of air, she cruised
along on the water surface.
She moved slowly and sighed
heavily.
Evidently that time, which
we humans looked forward lo
with nervous expectancy, was
rapidly approaching. A baby
porpoise was about to be born
to the large female porpoise
in the huge circular tank.
Baby porpoises arrive into
this watery world in a differ
ent way from most other ani
mals. They are born tail-first,
reversing the biological order
of things.
Added Safety
Born as they are, under
water, this tail-first birth gives
them an added measure of
safety. If the actual birth is
delayed, the reversed position
gives the young an added ad
vantage, preventing drowning.
When birth is complete, the
mother porpoise nudges the
baby quickly to the water's
surface, may even bunt the
little guy gently in order to
get the first breath into the
baby's lungs. There have been
instances where the mother
held the baby with its head
out of water until the breath
was ordered and regular.
In spite of the fact the
warm - blooded porpoise lives
its entire life in water, it will
drown as readily as a human;
two or three tablespoons of
water will drown one as
readily as the same amount
would a human. The baby por
poise could be drowned with
only a fraction of the amount.
Fascinated, we watched the
birth of this healthy little
119 Speakers Set
For SOC Conference
Ashland - More than 500
speeches will be made by 119
speakers from 9 Oregon high
schools at the 13th Annual
Speech conference, Friday
and Saturday at Southern
Oregon college campus, ac
cording to Dr. Leon C. Mull

dents serving as timekeepers,
and at least 85 visitors from

This latter figure includes
coaches, chaperones, and ad
visers, Dr. Mulling said.
Mulling praised the cooper

school speech teams may be
obtained in the Brill Student
Center for the benefit of those
wishing to attend any of the
events, Dr. Mulling said.

baby. We actually cuuld hear
the gasp as the youngster got
his first breath.
He was 22 inches long and
weighed 14 pounds. He was
somewhat lighter in color
than his mother. His under
sides, instead of being pearly
gray, like any adult bottlenose
porpoise, was almost while.
Removed from his mother's
side to be measured and
weighed, he accepted handling
with a calm dignity. He al
most giggled when we picked
him up so we named him
"Happy."
Trusting Nature
During the short separation,
while he was away from his
mother, she watched with
kind and pleading eyes. Here
was a trusting nature. Trust
is a wonderful thing, whether
it be in a human, in a dog, or
a porpoise. And even more
remarkable is affection. Here
was a wild creature, none of
whose ancestors were ever
touched by a human hand.

Farmers Told To
ile on Program
To Give Kennedy
Washington - lUI'll - Sharply
divided farm leaders were
told Thursday to stop trying
to talk all at once and get
together on a farm program
to present to the Kennedy ad
ministration. President James G. Patton
of the National Farmers Union
told farm policy conference
delegates that in their present
state of confusion they are
unequipped lo deal on even
terms with big business, big
labor or big government.
The conference, called by
President Kennedy in hopes
of achieving unified farm or
ganization backing for steps
lo bolster the agricultural
economy, produced more dis
cord than harmony.
"This meeting proves that
agriculture is so highly or
ganized it is disorganized,"
Patton told about 350 spokes
men for big and little farm
groups. "We have so many
voices we sound like a bab
ble." Proposal Heard
Following formal presenta
tions of farm policy proposals
by Patton and leaders uf
other major farm groups, the
delegates heard a proposal by
Jay Taylor, former president
of the American National Cat
tlemen's association, that the
government keep hands off
the livestock business. On the
other extreme, Jerome Taub,
president of the U.S. Poultry
and Egg association, said thai
government intervention i s
needed to allow poullrymen
to stay in business.
Charles Murphy, new un
dersecretary of agriculture,
told the meeting that the con
ference was "just a begin
ning." He said the adminis
tration plans to "keep open
communication with farm organizations."
Service for Customer Once Again
Being Stressed in Housing Industry
New York - (LTD - Some
post-war home buyers may
find it hard to believe, but
service for the customer once
again is being stressed in the
housing industry.
There is evidence that once
again the gual is not just a
completed deal but a satisfied
customer.
For instance, a Falls
Church, Va., real estate bro
ker, William Fairchild, has
introduced a unique new serv

Russian Escapee
Discusses Life in
USSR at College
Ashland - Paul Voronacff,
a Russian escapee who has de
voted his life to combating
Communism, spoke at South
ern Oregon college Wednes
day on the topic, "First Hand
-the Truth and the Facts of
Life Behind the Iron Curtain."
The talk was sponsored by
Freedom Crusade," an edu
cational a r m of Christian
Schools, Inc.
In comparing the Russian
colleges to ours, Voronaeff
said that only the best stu
dents are selected lo go to
college. The few are chosen
on the basis of competitive
tests, health, and importance
of family. Only about eight
out of 35 are able to further
their education.
He said he believed the ed
ucational system in this coun
try is on a much higher level
than theirs because this coun
try believes in a liberal edu
cation. There is only one faith in
Russia and that is Commu
nism, and work for the cause
of the party is their religious
doctrine. The approximately
15,000 Christians living in
Moscow find litlle sanctuary,
for 98 per cent of their
churches are closed, wrecked,
or destroyed.
Future of Country
"Children are more or less
the property of the stale,"
Voronaeff said, "as Commu
nists realize that the children
are the future of their coun
try." Only about 4 million Rus
sian people are actually mem
bers of the Communist party.
Of the others, many are not
party members but provide
services for the Communists
and are depended upon by
Khrushchev.
To visitors in Moscow, it
may not seem as bad as it
really is, for they are only
allowed lo see certain areas
around the city, and these
are the best. One does not see
the sickness, poverty and sad
ness that also lie within Moscow.
We can help keep Commu
nism out of the United States
by listening to speeches, lec
tures, reading, and finding
out all we can about the evils
of Communism, Voronaeff
stated.
Born in Russia, Voronaeff
was brought to America at an
early age. Some years later
his family returned to Russia
and Eastern Europe, and his
parents were arrested for do
ing Christian missionary
work. They were exiled and
sent to Siberia, but Voronaeff,
at this time, was attending
the University of Moscow. He
was also arrested and spent
a term as a slave laborer in
Siberia. For more than two
years, he was treated like an
animal, and finally escaped
and fled from Russia.
Since his return to Amer
ica, he had dedicated his life
to exposing the evils of Com
munism and telling the Amer
ican people what he knows
first hand. Voronaeff has also
made a study of Communist
methods and tactics and has
an extremely perceptive in
sight into the political aspects
of this struggle with atheistic
Communism.

tion
the
cedures involved
Aware that the layman is
likely to be completely un
equipped to cope with buying
selling a home. Fairchild
felt the lectures, open to any
interested person, would serve
both to educate the home-buying
public and, at the same
time, lo creale good will for
the real estate business. He
said public response has been
overwhelming.
Uses Motion Pictures
A scries of lectures, supple
mented with slides and mo
tion pictures, is being con
ducted by Richard L. Stanton,
who has taught real estate at
various universities and cur
rently is with the U.S. Navy
as a real estate expert. Stan
ton, using his own unedited
material in the interests of ob
jectivity, covers topics such
as buying vs. renting; explan
ation of real estate terms;
how lo finance your home:
tips on construction, and the
various steps through settlement.
Cooperating with Fairchild
the program are Virginia
builders Vincent A. Mangano
and Mario E. Yederlinic of
Mar-Built Homes, Inc. They
will conduct tours of various
of their homes under construc

Coordinator Mrs. Cassie
Fisher says of her job: "My
office is like a dentist's wait

sorts of problems."
Mrs. Fisher helps families
get children speedily trans
