L e S S ALR E e R S FOR THE BEST IN ; AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE i ALWAYS COME TO tsoto SILVEY'S pLymoutn The controversial question of farm price supports will be thoroughly discussed at the annual state meeting of the Production and Marketing Administration which will be held at Savannah August 23-25, according to T. R. Breed love, chairman of the State PMA Committee. “Many people have the impres sion that the price support pro gram, which is administered by the PMA, is costing the taxpayers a large sum of money,” Mr, Breed love said. “Actually, price support progranmrs on the basic agricultu ral commodities (corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, peanuts and rice) have not cost the Commodity Credit Corporation one cent from the time the program was started in 1933. There have been some losses, but gains have offset the losses.” . Still Needed The State PMA official empha sized that price supports are still needed to protect the nation by helping to stabilize the whole economy. He pointed out that farm prices have fallen off during the past few years while the total national inc6me has continued at a high level. “There is a level below which farm products cannot go without seriously affecting the national economy,” Mr. Breedlove contin ued. “A farnr price collapse knocks the props out from under other segments of the economy.” More than 600 farmer-commit teemen, county administrative of ficers and state office representa tives are expected to take part in the Savannah meeting which will be held at the General Oglethorpe Hotel. All of the wvarious farm pro grams administered by the PMA will be studied at the conference, Mr. Breedlove said, and efforts will be made to find better ways of serving farm people. Programs, Skater Vera Ralston Turns Verra Cold Shoulder To The lce Queens By ERSKINE JOHNSON | NEA Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD .— (NEA) — It | took a lot of prying, but I found | out today that Vera Ralston, who became the Miss Big at Republic i by getting the nod as the studio’s - answer to Sonja Henie, is scared of ice and ice-skating queens. When 1 asked Vera what would happen if somebody decided to co star her, Sonja, Belita and Barbara Ann Scott in a frozen-water epic, she turned white and said: “They would have to lock us in separate cages—llike tigers.” The figure-eight lasses play for keeps, take it from Vera, and she’s about as anxious to put on ice skates again as Dorothy Lamour is to go back to elevator piloting at Marshall Field’s. X “You don’t know the ice skaters, dolling,” shivered Vera. “In New Haven I saw one star pull a knife on another, and Vera was right in the middle, dolling. Oh-h-h-h! They put needles in your skates, they foul up your zip pers, they take nickels and dull your blades so that you’ll break a leg, maybe., Everything goes—even spiders in your underwear. It’s Hades, dolling.” Vera thinks an eyeball-gouging movie star waiting for a rival in the powder room is as harmless as Zasu Pitts compared to some of the ice-skating Lucrezia Bor gias she’s known. Toasted and Reasted “Haw, I will tell you how one star toasts another backstage at an ice show,” she confided. “You lift your glass and you say, ‘Here’s to So-and-So, may she drop dead in the middle of her big number.’ Nice, huh?” The publicity boys at Republic haven’t any idea where Vera bur- } ied her skates since she became the Greer Garson of the lot in such movies as “I, Jane Doe” and “The Flame,” and they’re not ask ing her, either. They know she’s not kidding about the variety of ice that melts and they’re convinced that even the tinkle of an ice cube in a high ball glass can give her the shakes, “Dolling, I used to skate around at rehearsals with a Bible in my hand,” Vera confided. “It is a ter rible thing to be an ice queen. A bobby-pin or a cigaret butt on the ice can break every bone in your body.” Vera is a husky-voiced, wise cracking doll who carries on more like one of the Gabor sisters, with shades of Tallulah Bankhead, than the sad-faced beauty she appears to be on the screen. - She lived on crackers and cof fee when she first arrived in New York from Czechoslovakia, but now she can afford caviar on the crackers. IN MILLIONS OF HOMES St. Joseph AsPIRIN IS THE BEST KNOWN NAME IN ASPIRIN * ST. JOSEPH ASPIRIN Sold in Athens At CROW’S DRUG STORE Athens’ Most Complete A other than price supports, that will be discussed include the Ag ricultural Conservation Program, Acreage Allotments and Market ing Quotas ahd Federal Crop In surance, “Working Conference” Although a number of Georgia and Washington leaders will ap pear on the three-day program, it is essentially a “working confer ence,” the PMA leader said, point ing out that all delegates will be assigned to committees which will take wup the various farm pro grams in detail, Panels have been set up to discuss all of the ma jor points and county, district, state and Washington leaders will serve on the panels. . Washington PMA officials ap pearing on the program will in clude Harold K. Hill, Assistant Administrator for Production; Jack Brainard, Co-ordinator, PMA-FCIC; A. V. McCormack, Director, ACP Branch; Hilary €. Moseley, Administrator’s Field man; L. K. Smith, Director, Grains Branch; A. C. Burmeister, Econo mist, Livestock Branch, and Charles Cox, Others appearing on the pro gram will be John Liles, agricul tural economist of the Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta; Dean Har ry L. Brown, College of Agricul= ture, University of Georgia; Di rector Walter S. Brown, Kenneth Treanor, J. William Fanning and E. D. Alexander, all of the Agri cultural Extension Service, and l various state, district and county officers of the PMA. Other day Vera dropped in to the Bank of America to cash a $250 stock dividend. “It could only happen to me, I'm so crazy,” she laughed. “The teller asked me if I had an account and I said no. Then I say maybe I have, after all. He went back to check. - When he came back, he said, “Yes, you have SIO,OOO in this bank’. That is how absent-minded I am.” A Prolonged Death Back in Prague, Vera used to slip away from the chilly outdoor rinks and warm herself in movie houses. She says she never dreamed that she’d be a-galloping into {;he sun set herself like some of the hero ines of the western epics or that she’d be breathing the same ozone in Hollywood with such fearless superboys as John Wayne, Bill El liott, Allan Lane and Rex Allen. “They were—how you call it?— continuation pictures and I am dying till next week.” The Olympic champion got her first screen test when she was touring with the “Ice Vanities.” Nobody saw her as a Garbo, she confesses, because she was 40 pounds overweight and said “I sing so” instead of “I think so” in to the hanging microphone. | She added Ralston to her name when Republic signed her to a contract. “Was I glad to?” Vera chuckled. “Oh, yes. The critics hated my name. People called me rhubarb, rhumba, hubba, rutatbaga—every thing.” It’s studio protocol that nobody on the lot mentions the word “double,” but Vera snaps her fin ger and lets it drop that the figure thundering over those plains on horseback isn’t Vera Ralston. “Always, dolling, I am on such a chase,” she said. “But it is a man double in a white petticoat and a wig that doesn’t match my hair. | “I look at myself being brave | on the screen and I say to my | self: - ' “ “Vera, you have done that very nicely. You are the most fearless woman in all Hollywood.”” Ants have been observed to set broken legs of injured companions | in a kind of plaster. 3 3 Oe e TT % BT Rg S R R e R AR ol e A s S i R e : S 3 3 e o R AR R TS 7 z : s R R TR R 2t % R : % SEsL e S SR ane e e e 4 ; ¢ S : ; e IR Re e g : 5 .

Sunburn Makes “Bald’’ Cow Pinker BY RUTH CHIN NEA Special Correspondent GASTON, Ind, — (NEA) —ls you'd rather see a purple cow, as the saying goes, than be one, look in on Fred Poormen’s farm near Gaston, He has one that isn’t exactly purple, but it may be as close as you'll ever get. This cow is pink, except when she gets sunburned, when she’s pinker. “Pinky”’ is a 14-month-old Jer sey-Guernsey, born without hair and still bald as a kerner of In diana corn. Farmer Poormen thought he had a very sick calf on his hands when “Pinky” was born, but veterinarians assured him her only ailment is that she’s a “freak of nature” they’ve never seen before. . Problem Cow It’s her baldness, rather than her color, that makes “Pinky” a problem cow. }4-1!

Allen works under Farm Youth Exchange plan. Last winter she slept under blankets, and when she went out she wore a couple of pairs of Poormen’s old blue jeans to keep her feet warm. When summer came, it turned out she sunburned easily. Right now ‘“Pinky” has a littie tan, but it’s peeling. Mostly, she’s kept in side the barn until sunset, except on cloudy days when she can go out and graze, : A lot of neighboring farmers who have seen “Pinky” want Poormen to have her bred to see if she’d have pink and hairless calves. But Poormen thinks one pink cow is enough around his farm, He’s getting tired of explaining to curious visitors that “Pinky” is sensitive about having people touch her hide to see how smooth it is. “Pinky,” it turns out, would rather be a purple cow, or at least a pink one, than see people.

He is Robert H. Rowe, * ; Over 500 undergraduates and alumni delegates and visitors are expected to attend the convention of the fraternity, They will rep resent the 137 chapters of the fra ternity located at colleges and universities in 46 states and four provinces of Canada and the 96 Alumni Associations throughout the United States and Canada. Lambda Chi Alpha, the largest international college social frater nity in the world, was founded at Boston Univeristy in 1909. The conventton in Chicago will be the highlight of the fraternity’s 40th year celebration, ; Several nationally prominent ‘members will take part in the convention, notable among whom will be Jean Hersholt, who will deliver the address at the official banquet on September 4. Mr. Her sholt is widely known for his ra dio and screen roles as Dr. Chris tian. Rainfall Aids In Crop Growth Abundant to excessive rainfall during most of July was very fav orable for late feed crops, and prospects improved rapidly, es pecially in the northern districts of the state, according to the Geor gia Crop Reporting Service. In the southern part of Georgia most of the corn and tobacco were too far advanced to show much im provement from the July rains. The peanut crop is good in most areas but the sharp decline in acreage for picking and threshing - will result in a smaller production than in recent years. Pecan pros pects on August 1 indicate a much larger crop than was harvested in 1949 but smaller than the record production of 1948. Tobacco har vest is well under way with grow ers receiving prices much above a year ago. COTTON GINNING NOTE Cotton ginners in Georgia are being urged to adopt a program this fall to improve the prepara tion of cotton at the gin, and in this way, insure a better grade of cotton at the mills, according to Extension Service cotton ginning specialists. EARLY SCRAP DRIVES Wartime scrap drives are not new. During the Civil War, one held in the South yielded water pipe, sash weights, bells, and other metal items. A scientist has discovered that earthworms produce musical sounds and that they moan when cut. *
