IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our be-
loved wife and mother, Mrs.
Henry Schroeder, who passed
away December 20, 1952.
’Tis but one year ago today,
Since God called you away,
We who loved you most of
all,
Miss you more each day.
No one knows the silent
heartache,
Only those who loved can tell,
The grief we bear in silence,
For the one we loved so well.
The flowers we place on your
grave,
Will wither and decay,
But love for you who sleeps
beneath,
Will never fade away.
Heavy are our hearts today,
Memory brings you back more
and more,
To the time you were with us
To the happy days of yore.
A bitter grief, shock severe,
To part with one we loved so
dear,
Our loss is great we will not
complain,
But know in Christ we will
meet again. *

Agree to Quota

Washington. — Sen. George
D. Aiken of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee predicted
Wednesday that Congress will
boost the 17.9 million 1954 cot-
ton acreage if southern and
western growers work together.
“If the South and the West
will stay in agreement I see no
reason why we can’t make a
bill to increase the allotment
one of the first things to take
up when Congress reconvenes
in January,” the Vermont Re-
publican told a reporter.
Aiken predicted that his
committee will produce a bill
easing production controls
“within a matter of hours” if
western and southern produ-
cers work together. A dispute
between the two growing areas
blocked action on such a bill at
this year’s session.
Since then, however, a special
Senate Agricultural subcom-
mittee reached a compromise
figure of about 21.3 million
acres. This compromise was
agreed to by Sen. Clinton P.
Anderson (D-N.M.;, represent-
ing western growers, and Sen.
James O. Eastland (D-Miss.),
spokesman for producers in the
old growing section of the
South.

The Lutheran Sunday School
program Sunday night in the

magnolia leaves with the gayly
decorated Christmas tree form-

tiful and well rendered pro-
gram prepared by the teachers.
All present spoke of it as a
pleasing success. Santa Claus
