BUSINESS PLANE Shown in its maiden flight at Wich
lta, Kan., Is the new twin-engine Skymaster business plane
made by Cessna Aircraft Co. Unlike any other plane in
production, the Skymaster utilizes an engine at each end
of the cabin section. One engine pulls and the other pushes.
To permit the tandem engine arrangement on the Sky
master, the aircraft has twin cantilever tail cones extend
ing back from each wing which support individual rud
ders and a stabilizer. The cabin section, which carries
four persons, is centered under the wing with the rear
propeller centered between the cantilever tail sections.

almost impossible to predict,
and Agriculture Secretary Or
ville L. Freeman has said that
it would not be measurable.
Freeman also has conceded,
however, that if his plan
works as he hopes it will, re
tail prices of some foods like
eggs and beef would not drop
as far as they might under
present farm laws.
If consumers have to pass
up some possible small food
savings under the plan, how
ever, Freeman maintains that
his proposal to raise farm
price supports and restrict
production of feed grains
would:
-Not increase prices of beef
and pork, and probably allow
chicken and egg retail prices
to slide about two per cent
during the next year or two.
-Save taxpayers up to about
$500 million on eventual costs
of the 1961 price support pro
gram. -And increase the gross in
come of typical feed grain pro
ducers 10 to 12 per cent
through higher support pric
es and government payments
for keeping land out of pro
duction. The relationship between
the feed grain surplus prob
lem and the price the house
wife pays for beef, pork, milk,
chicken, and eggs, is simple
and direct.
Feed grains - corn, grain,
sorgums, barley, and oats -are

Message
By THE REV.
THEODORE F. ADAMS
Pastor, First Baptist Church,
Richmond, Va.
(Written for UPI)
Christianity has proved its
durability. It has survived
persecution at the hands of
both totalitarian governments,
and intolerant religionists. It
has the power to continue
vibrant regardless of world
situations. Dr. Kenneth Scott
Latourette, the historian, well
says, "Christianity is more to
be reckoned with today than
ever before."
For Christians, this there
fore is a wonderful age , in
which to be alive. Our times
demand Christians of unwav
ering faith, deep convictions
and courageous commitment.
We are called to cooperate
with all believers to give the
Gospel to all the world and
relate it to all of life. But in
addition each of us has a per
sonal, individual responsibil
ity to stand in his own place
and serve where God has put
us.
I think of tins responsibil
ity in the words of the charge
my father gave me when I
was ordained to the ministry.
He said, "I charge you with
three things: Keep close to
God. Keep close to men. Brine
God and men together." This
is our unending mandate unui
"at the name of Jesus every
knee shall bow ... and every
tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord to the glory
of God the Father."

Plans Being Made
London-am- Elizabeth Tay
lor's recovery from her near
fatal bout with pneumonia
had reached the point Monday
where husband Eddie Fisher
already was reported plan
ning to take her to California
or the French Riviera for re
cuperation. Doctors attending the 29-vear-old
movie star were ex
pected rliortly to give Fisher
some indication on when Miss
Taylor will be well enough to
leave the London clinic where
she was taken near death a
week ago Saturday.
Miss Taylor's recovery
from the deadly staphylococ
cus pneumonia was hailed as
a "miracle'' by Fisher, who
admitted that his hope for her
survival had "faltered" at one
stock protein foods. When
grain supplies are heavy and
prices low, livestock feeding
picks up and the result is
bigger supplies of livestock
goods at lower prices. When
feed supplies tighten, the
higher cost of these raw mate
rials is eventually felt in
higher-priced steaks, chops,
and cheeses.
Two factors would operate
to east the impact of any suc
cessful federal production-cutting
plan on retail food prices
at present.
Record High Surpluses
One is the fact that the gov
ernment currently is holding
record-high surpluses of feed
grains. If current production
can be cut below farmers'
actual needs, government
stocks can be released to pre
vent market shortages and
prevent steep price increases.
Agriculture department ex
perts figure that if the 1960
corn support price of $1.06
per bushel is increased to
$1.20 for 1961, corn market
prices would average about
$1.15. In 1958, corn was sup
ported at $1.36.
A second point is the fact
that the normal production
cycles of both beef and pork
are currently on the "up"
side. Cattle and hog herds
are Increasing and produc
tion of both meats will be
heavy this year.
Not Straight Basis
Any future increase in the
cost of producing livestock
products would not necessar
ily be passed through to con
sumers on a straight percent
age basis. Hog raisers, for
example, get only 52 cents of
the consumer pork dollar with
the rest going for processing
and marketing charges. A one
per cent increase in hog val
ues raise retail prices only
about one-half of one per
cent if marketing costs re
mained the same.

Happy Ending to Animal
Stories? It Just Doesn't Work
That Way
"Wouldn't it be better,"
asks a reader, "to have the
stories end happily, instead
of having the little creature
die, or be severly hurt?
A happy ending does leave
a pleasant taste in the reader's
mind but too many times, in
the lives of the little creatures
of the fields and forests, the
end is far from pleasant. To
them death is always near; it
is unusual indeed that any of
them can look forward to any
sort of a future; to most of
them death is sudden, and vio
lent. Nature, in the raw is sel
dom mild.
Recording their lives could
not be truthfully told if only
the happy incidents were re
ported. There is a constant
parade of events, not so joy
ous, that makes up the every
day life of a wild creature.
The survival of the fittest,
and the eat-or-be-eaten formu
la is operative constantly in
the world of living things. In
so many of the small lives, es
cape is always temporary;
they only escape today, to
live for another danger the
next.
It docs seem .rather ironic
that the complicated growth,
and structure of a bird, with
its hollow bones and feathers
and working parts, should so
suddenly be crushed under the
wheels of an automobile,
when it took all the chemistry
of time and growth of living
cells many months, to perfect
the working body, but such is
often the case.
The bird wise enough to
Test Taken by 97
Medford High Pupils
Ninety-seven students at
Medford High school took the
National Merit Scholarship
qualifying test, according to
Lester Harris, principal.
The test was administered
at the high school at 9 a.m.
March 11. The qualifying test
is a three-hour examination
of educational development.
The test is the first step in
the seventh annual competi
tion for four-year Merit Schol
arships provided by the Na
tional Merit Scholarship cor
poration and by sponsoring
corporations, foundations, as
sociations, and individuals.
The scores of students will
be reported to their schools
before the end of the spring
semester in time for use by
class advisors Some 10.000
semifinalists, the highest scor
ers in each state, will be nam
ed early next fall. They will
be asked to take a second
examination and those who re
peat their high performance
will become finalists In the
a-MlTim.
Mrs. E. B. Natilie is a
bright child, yet she is full of
unreasonable fears.
Natilie B. All they do is
make fun of me, and tell me
to snap out of it.
Mrs. E. B. To look at
her, you'd think Natalie was
the happiest girl in the world.
She's close to the top of her
class in high school where,
at 14, she's a sophomore. And
she's popular, both in school
and in the neighborhood.
But, inside herself, she seems
to be shaking all the time.
Most children get over their
childhood fears, but Natalie
has carried hers along to ado
lescence, and added a few
more. 1 m used to naving ner
run into my bed at the first
stroke of lighning. In the sum
mer we can't get her into the
ocean above her knees, so
great is her fear of drowning.
At present, though, it's her
fear of the dark that's getting
worse instead of better. Here
she's older, more sensible, yet
still insists upon my holding
her hand, slaying with her,
and leaving a night-light on,
just as she did at five and six.
Natalie B. My family isn't
helping matters by ridiculing
avoid a fast moving car may
survive a little while, and be
get children who may them
selves acquire some of the par
ent s wisdom, and in conse
quence live safely for a while,
in a world of moving vehicles.
Whether a habit can be
come so much a part of a liv
ing being, that it will be hand
ed down to descendants as an
instinctive behaviorism, is
somthing no one can answer.
In some cases it is thought to
be true, but no one has gone
along this road far enough to
know for sure. Heredity is a
peculiar thing and we don't
have all the answers.
The surprising thing about
the entire, complex system of
this living world is, thai there
always seem to be enough
survivors to carry on the spe
cies; unless man steps in and
bungles the set-up. From the
school of fish that constantly
is preyed on by larger fish,
some few escape to rcpopulate
the sea, or lake, with fishes.
Over the cold of winter, and
in spite of sprays and insecti
cides of a thousand kinds,
enough bugs live to start the
cycle again the following year.
From the thousands of field
mice born, most must go to
continue the life of larger ani
mals, but here and there a
pair escape, and the race of
mice goes on.
That they may live their
little lives complete, seems
not to be the "law of Nature";
many must die that others can
struggle on; a happy ending in
the lives of God's little crea
tures is the glaring exception.
Entanglements
Is Speaker's Topic
No matter how complex the
entanglements c o n f r o nting
mankind, they can be solved
through spiritual understand
ing of God good, Arch Bailey
said Sunday in Medford at
a lecture at the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, 100 Wind
sor ave.
"Let us never doubt the su
premacy of good!" he declared.
Bailey described healings
through wholly spiritual
means, and told how scientific
Drayer disentangles the snar
led ambiguities of modern liv
ing.
Speaking on "Christian
Science: The Solution for
Mankind's Entanglements,1
Bailey emphasized the impor
tance of gaining a clearer un
derstanding of the true nature
of man. Divine healing is bas
ed on spiritual understanding
of the real nature of God and
man, the speaker maintained
Effective prayer, he said
is more the act of listening
to God than of informing Him.
No matter how complex our
entanglements, the speaker
concluded, individually or un
iversally, the acknowledge
ment and application of the
truth of Christian Science will
open the way to their solu
tion. Let us never doubt the
supremacy of good.
me. The oilier day my oiaor
brother handed me a bottle
with a nipple on it, as a gag:
And my father said he's buy
ing me a brand new teddy
bear for my next birthday.
Maybe I have a vivid imag-
nation, btit I don t feel safe
in the water. I see myself
knocked over by a wave and
unable to get up. When I was
young, the house across the
street from ours was struck
by lightning so it could just
well happen here, to us.
Yes, the dark terrifies me
because it's so mysterious. I
hear scraping and squeaking
and can't explain it. I feci
better when my mother lolls
me it's a door or a chair, and
not a prowler.
I think I'm afraid because
feel helpless about so many
things. Instead of laughing at
me, I wish thcy's help me feel
more powerful.
.
The Council: Natalie must
have had some frights, far
back in her infancy and child
hood, which no one was aware
of, no one allayed, no one ex
plained. So, keeping them
locked inside her, she has ad
ded new and more explain
able fears, and needs patient
expert help to exorcise them
one by one and then release
her from her apprehensive at
titude toward life.
Ridicule is cruel and fu
tile. Glib exhortations to "for
get it" are just talk. Natalie
must be able to look squarely
at Ihe Hung she tears, exam-
ne it closely, and then end
her fear by doing the thing
she has always feared to do.
She, (and the rest of us),
were born with only two
fears, say the psychologists:
the fear of a loud noise and
the fear of loss of support.
All other fears are learned,
and they grow from the big
gest fear of all fear of the
unknown. Therefore, Nata
lies fears can only give way
before the Known. She must
know, and more important
that some of the things she's
calling "threats" aren't that
at all.
The pitfall which Mrs. B
and the family may be fall
ing into is attributing some
of Natalie's "acting-up" to the
self-dramatization of an imag
inative adolescent. That'
where a psychological coun
selor comes in handy, distin
guishing deep-rooted terror
from mere attention-getting
histrionics.
Getting down to cases, Nat-
