Burton Hutton, state 4-H Club leader, describes this year's an nual 4-H leaders conference.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 22. 1956 Bemidji Calm And Cool As Weather Dips To 28 Below BEMIDJI. Minn. (UP) Every thing was normal here Saturday. Br-r-r. The cold would paralyze other towns, but hero life went on as usual In its sub-zaro pace. Men went to work as usual, housewives did their normal week end shopping and kids played. Friday, when the temperature dipped to 28 below zero, school attendance was near normal. Satur day the some children romped In the snow, virtually unaware of the cold. About the only outward sign of the extreme cold, except for the low level of the thermometer, was an abnormal squeal from automo bile tires on the compacted snow and heavy vapor from automobile exhaust pipes. Some motorists who left their enrs outside overnight also had to contend with "Hat wheels" when Ihev first started driving. Slightly unrterlnflated tires freeze slightly flat at the point where they touched the street during the night and do not resume thctr normal roundness until they are warmed by the friction of driving. Schools here have not been closed .because of weather for more than 10 years, Superintend ent J. W. Smith said. Occasionally attendance of rural students Is re duced by blocked roads but the students living in town "Just do not pay any attention to the weather," he said. School children bundle up In snow pants, storm coats, heavy caps and mittens and ignore the cold. Other residents of the area are equally prepared for sudden cold snaps. Most families which don't keep their cars in insulated ga roges have electric "heodbolt" heaters which warm the engine block before the car Is started. "The truth Is our people pay very little attention to the cold weather," according to Chamber of Commerce Secretory Don Stub bins. "Fact Is. we're proud of It and hope tourists will remember Bemidji when It gets hot next summer."

The Federal Crop Reporting Service says that the Oregon Qrowers plan to Increase their tur key production by about 18 per cent this year. The Oregon Increase would be about three times that expected nationally. The Agriculture Depart ment recommendation is for the same size crop this year as last with possibly a small reduction. But the growers are being tempted by the fact that- feed prices are low er and turkey prices are higher. In Washington, the Crop and Livestock Reporting service found that turkey growers plan an in crease, but not as much of a one as in Oregon. They plan to raise only three per cent more turkeys this year than last. Their January first in tentions call for an Increase of five per cent in heavy breeds and a 15 per cent reduction In light breeds. The total number of tur keys that Washington growers are planning for this year is 807,000 compared with 783,000 In 1855. . " ll 1111 I I III II Coast Guard Winding Up Probe Of Tanker Blast ANDY P.
