1—THE MILL (TTY ENTERPRISE
Knowledge is Power
(1) This depends on the individual American’s ability to
resist defensive and escape buying; defensive buying—to
keep up with the Joneses, escape buying—to give him a
temporary sense of power. In her book, ‘ The Folks at Home,”
Margaret Halsey puts her finger on the difficulty most people
have with their finances.
‘‘What corrupts people," she as­
serts, ‘‘is being brought up by
parents who are obeying the rule:
get ahead. What corrupts people
is the unstable family, besieged
by a million money-makers to
whom it is a meaningless clump
of potential customers. What cor­
rupts people is being pressured
into the narrow mold of profit-
making behavior when their real
desires lie in other directions.”
A generation ago, consuming
was something which people ap­
proached cautiously. Now, how­
ever, the spender just buys every­
thing he can pay for, and a few
things he cannot. He is respond­
ing to a superlatively well-organ­
ized pressure which never lets up.
(2) Men enjoy their food more
than women do, writes John E.
Gibson in This Week magazine.
He cites a survey made by the
American Institute of Public
Opinion in which men of all ages ,
throughout the nation were asked |
what quality they thought was
most important in a wife. Most
of the men placed far ahead of
all other attributes: good home­
making ability and above-average
cooking talents.
(3) It can if the people who
conduct the drive for blood to
meet the needs of the Korean war
will follow the example of a
small town When Felton, Minn.,
population 258, was asked to con­
tribute to the blood drive, Vivian
T. Murphy, a semi-invalid, helped
put across the drive. She tells her
story in the December Catholic
Digest.
Working from a wheelchair
with a phone and a typewriter
she reached people who had been
missed in the door-to-door drive.
She typed appointment lists for
blood donations, and helped co­
ordinate transportation for do­
nors. When the results were
tabulated she discovered that 91
per cent of Felton’s eligible citi­
zens had donated blood.

Strawberry Growers Look Freak Kitten Born at
Keith Phillips Farm
For Spittlebugs, Advise
Strawberry growers are advised to
check their fields for the presence of
spittlebugs, says O. E. Mikesell,
county extension agent.
If the average population over the
field is one or two bugs per plant then
treatment is advised between now and
May 1. This application will also aid
in the control of the strawberry fruit­
worm.
A second application three
weeks later, but two weeks before
harvest is advised where the straw­
berry fruit worm is a problem.
Mikesell says that the Oregon Ex­
periment Station has found that a 5
percent methoxychlor dust applied at
the rate of 50 pounds per acre has
given good results on both insects.
A %% rotenone dust can be used for
spittlebug control, but it will not be
effective against the strawberry fruit
worm.
Mehama—A freak kitten was bom
on the Keith Phillips place last week.
The kitten, one of a litter of five,
had one large head and two bodies.
Joined at the chest the two bodies
were normal with one pair of front
legs pointing up and the other pair
down.
