County Agricultural Stabiliz ation and Conservation Commit tee Chairman Karl Wilson today reminded farmers that they should be alert to market prices that will enable them to redeem these loans at a prolit. "Farmers who redeem their price support loans and take ad vantage of price increases on local markets are using the support pro gram as it was intended to be used." Mr. Wilson said. "The price support rate tends to set a floor under local prices. It also protects farmers from the low market prices that usually exist at the height of the harvest sea son. If the market rises to a point where farmers can sell on the open market and still repay their loans plus interest with a profit. It is better for them to do this rether than deliver thrir grain to the government in settlement of the loan." Mr. Wilson urged farmers to check with their local ASC office If they have loans that might he redeemed profitably. Grain loan maturity dales in this county are: Wheat. March 31 and Barley, Oats, Rye. April 30. Parents Scorn Memorial Rites rRKSTONSM'RG.

Boy Cleared In Car Theft During a court hearing for Em erson Jerome Adams. 17, arrest ed on petty theft charges in a police investigation nf juvenile crime, the youth denied having stolen a car in Roseburg. At the hearing Thursday, Dis trict Judge D. E. Van Vaclor read a letter from Roseburg authorities which said Adams had stolen a vehicle there in January. 1956. This statement was not correct. Juvenile authorities called Rose burg today and learned that the charge mentioned in the letter should have read larceny "from" a vehicle, not larceny "of" a ve hicle. The Herald and News story of the hearing quoted the letter and the youth's denial before the judge that he had stolen the car. The newspaper, and the judge, had been misinformed by the incor rect letter. Juvenile authorities said Adams was involved with six other youths in the theft of beer from a truck in Roseburg. not the thelt of the truck or a car.

To enforc these conditions. Judge Foster asked slate and city police and the sheriff's office to check cars with teen-aged occu pants. The judge asked that names be taken, and if youths on pro bation are found in cars without the presence of an adult, they are to be cited into court for viola tion of parole. "It will be imperative that all cars driven by teen-agers be stopped and checked, and the names of occupants taken." city police orders read. Said City Police Chief Charles R. Howard, "Any of those kids 'juveniles on probation i we catch in cars will be reported to the juvenile office." State police said it has been their practice to investigate cars with teen-aged drivers under cer tain circumstances, and that the judge's order will be followed.
