The Soil Conservation
Postage Stamp Released
Yesterday in S- Dakota
Many commemorative postage
stamps are issued to observe the
anniversary of a noteworthy his
toric event or to honor a long-
dead national hero.
The world’s first soil conserva
tion stamp, ' released yesterday,
(Wednesday) at Rapid City, S. D.,
celebrates no anniversary and
honors no man.
It’s issuance is, rather, a dra
matic recognition by a grateful
Nation that American farmers ahd
ranchers, and their government,are
hard at work to protect and im
prove for the benefit of us all, our
most valuable natural resource the
soil.
The stamp portrays the beauty
as well as the bounty that modern
conservation farming brings to
rural living. The city skyline on
the horizon signifies at the same
After a wedding trip to Canada
the couple will be at home in j time that dwellers of skyscrapers
also have a stake in soid conserva
tion. The stamp will be to them a
symbol of assurance that a plenti
ful supply of food and other prod
ucts of the land will continue to
flow to the seven-eighths of our
people who live in town.
The stamp is a tribute to the
countless farmers and ranchers who
are demonstrating good soil
stewardship. It is a salute to their
locally organized Soil Conserva
tion District, and to the scientists,
technicians, and other agricultural
workers of state and federal gov
ernment who lend assistance. Its
design contains a reminder that
soil conservation is an orderly com
bination of practices and land
use that carefully relate water,
grass, trees, livestock, wildlife and
other crops of the land.
Local observances noting the is
sue of this three-color, 4-cent
stamp will be sponsored in thou
sands of cities and communities by
the Soil Conservation Society of
America, Soil Conservation Districts
by the Soil Conservation Service
and other agencies of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, and by
other conservation-minded groups.
Thursday (today) one day after its
first-day release at Rapid City, 120
. million copies of the stamp will go
. D.~Oub members and!on sale at post offices throughout
Plattsburgh.
The bride, formerly of Butler is
the grand daughter of Mrs. J. A.
Stevens and the late Mr. Stevens
of Butler.

tired Taylor county farmer residing
in the southern part of the county

Birth Announcement

enter thou into the joy- of thy
Lord.” (Matt. 25:21).
He could say with the Apostle
Paul, “I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith.” (II Tim. 4:7).
His was not an ordinary con-!
tributioh to life, but one worthy of
emulation. — ...
He possessed many rare ^virtues,
of which his humble modekty kept
him unaware. vu
One of his most outstanding
characteristics being that of . self-
sacrifice, he sought no laurels for
himself, but as few people I’ve
known, he lived for others.
In untiring labors of love for his-
family in kindly words and deeds,,
with frequent gifts of love Xpf
which I was an oft enriched recipir
ent) he added sunshine and bless-. 1
ing to all whose lives he touched.
Surely the familiar words of the
poet are applicable: “He lived in.
a house by the side of the road
and was a friend to man.” j
Because he majored in the finer |
things of home, church, and com- |
munity life, and was endowed with ;
sound judgment of mind, he was
capacitated to be one of Taylor |
county’s* most useful and influen- I
tial citizens.
In church life; his faithfuluness
to attend, his worshipful spirit, his
liberality to give with many other
services rendered, made of him a
sturdy pillar of Crowell Methodist
church.
In civic life, he was an active
leader in all programs and activi
ties conducive to the good of his
fellow man. In this field of serv
ice, he ably served as chairman
of the Board of Education of Taylor
County for 25 years. His decisions
and actions were always based on
the highest of principle and discre
tion.
Is it any wonder that we mourn
his going. Yet we’re consoled that
our great loss is heaven’s rich
gain.
May the fragrance of this
wholesome influence ever linger in
each of our hearts as a challenge
an incentive to higher, nobler
living.
He is not dead he lives!
To his devoted loved ones all of
whom were so faithful and con
siderate of him, may the poet
bring comfort—

A Message from Paradise
I’d spare you all this weeping,
’Twill rend your very heart.
We all are Christ's keeping
And therefore cannot part.
You there—I here—tho severed,
We still at heart are one;
I c/nly in the sunshine,
The shadows scarcely gone.
What if the clouds surround you?
You can the brightness see;
’Tis only just a little way
That leads from you to me.
II was so very weary
Surely you could not mourn
That I a little sooner
Should lay my burdens down.
Then weep not, weep not, dear ones
God wipes away all tears;
Tis only yet a little while
Though you may call it years.
—A Friend.

even better
It’s easy. Just check the directory before calling. That
way you save the time of a call to “information” or
avoid the annoyance of a “wrong number".
For even speedier service, keep the directory right
by your telephone. Then, when you’re not sure of a
number, you can check it easily. '
It’s the smart way to make your telephone service
even better. Tv , J
