Small Worlds

More Pilgrims Would Hit
SurrlTtd With Cow or Two
They Just a' out didn't make
it. They wouldn't have, had
it not been tor some wiser
ones who later insisted on
sending a few animals on
ships that followed the May
flower to the new world. We
like to believe now, viewing
their early trials and hard
ships from a distance of a few
centuries, that the Pilgrim
fathers fought and conquered
wild beasts and a howling
wilderness.
Some of us, even today,
fear the woodlot or the va
cant field, imagining that it
Is nature in the raw and that
dangerous creatures wait for
the unwary human. The idea
is as stupid now as it was
then. The Pilgrims trembled
at the movement of every
grass blade and many of us
today .still worry for fear
something is going to jump
out and hurt us.
The death rate of-the early
pioneers was high but not be
cause of wild beasts or In
dians, but mainly from mal
nutrition and disease brought

about by a diet deficient in
essential nutrients.
SoToral Reason
There were several reasons
of course, for this, but one
of the most important should
have been obvious even to
them. They should have made
room in one of the ships for
a cow or two that could pro
vide fresh milk.
Some one, wiser than the
majority of those aspiring to
settle in the new land, had
more than a flash of inspira
tion, for he made it compul
sory that other ships follow
ing the Pilgrims should carry
cows. They learned, eventu
ally, for as the tide of civiliza
tion flowed westward, swal
lowing up and settling new
territory, almost all the wag
ons that lumbered westward
over the roadless plains led
a few docile cows behind the
tailgate. Whenever the wagon
trains stopped, wherever the
blue smoke of cooking fires
spiraled upward into the clear
air, these pioneers had the
milk and dairy products that
made the difference between
a balanced diet and an inade
quate one.
The cow has never received
much credit for having been
present, even on ships that
followed the Mayflover. She,
and those that followed her,
populated the west and fed
the pioneers after the bison
had been killed. Before Bossy
came to North America, a
relative was galloping across
the wide plains - the Ameri
can bison, commonly called
buffalo. The bisen was, of
course, a branch of the animal
kingdom known as "bos."
Probably from the name
"bo9" is derived the term of
endearment so frequently ap
plied when we call the cow
"Bossy."
Far East NatWe
The real buffalo is an ani
mal of the Far East, some
what different from the ani
mal that once roamed the
western plains. Without the
faintest shadow of doubt, it
can be truthfully said thai the
members of the taurine world
are the most important ani-

negarcuess of how eager
the Pilgrim fathers were to
get over here, they sure didn't
use their heads for anything
much except to support those
funny looking hats, otherwise
they would have saved a little
room on the first boat for a
cow or two. Their presence
would have made a great dif
ference in how many Pilgrims
survived. They goofed; they
should have brought them
along.
Fresh Vegetable
Supply (or Fall
Marketing Small
Washington iUPiT The Agri
culture Department says sup
plies of fresh vegetables for
late fall marketing are ma
terially smaller than a year
earlier and a little smaller
than the 1951-60 average.
Prices this fall are expected
to average significantly above
those of a year ago, the de
partment said in a review of
the vegetable situation. Con
sumer demand for fresh vege
table has continued strong
during 1962.
Prospective supplies of car
rots are significantly larger
than a year ago, and those of
cauliflower and b r u s s e 1 s
sprouts probably a little larg
er. Dry onions also are in ma
terially larger supply. But sup
plies of all other major items
are expected to be smaller
than last year.
Mora Canned Vegetables
Supplies of canned vege
tables into mid-1963 are ex
pected to be substantially
larger than both a year earlier
and the recent 10-year aver
age. Supplies of snap beans,
corn, and most tomato items
are expected to be record
large.
Frozen vegetables probably
will be in slightly to moder
ately smaller supply than
those of last season, the de
partment said.
Overall prices of canned
vegetables are expected to
average slightly below those
of last season. Among major
canned items, prices of corn,
snap beans, and tomato items
are likely to average lower
than last season. Overall
prices of most frozen items
probably will average near
those of last season.
Benefits May Be
Available to Widow
Widows and children of de
ceased veterans who have pre
viously been denied Veterans
Administration benefits as a
result of marriage or remar
riage and whose marriage or
remarriage has been subse
quently annulled by a court
with basic authority to ren
der annulment decrees may
now be eligible for restoration
of benefits under Public Law
87-674 enacted Sept. 19.
Any widow or child of a
deceased veteran in this cate
gory desirous of more infor
mation in this regard is asked
to contact the Veterans Serv
ice office in the Jackson Coun
ty courthouse.

White City - Domiciliary
members and civil service em

department, as chairman, and
Adolph F. Rossknecht, admin
istrative assistant to the domiciliary-officer-registrar,
a s
co-chairman, the last report
gave a total of $1,359. The

Rossknecht handled mem
ber contributions. At the start
of the campaign in September
the member quota was estab
lished at $250. This was ex
ceeded with the amount turn
ed in concluded at $750.
With promises and pledges
forthcoming the total figure
will be still larger for the en
