Farm Bureau Calls
Meeting
zWaco May 21—The Texas Farm
Bureau has called three area-wide
mas's meetings this month to dis-
cuss pending farm legislation, TFB
President J. Walter Hammond has
announced.
Sessions wil be held May 26 at
the Baker Hotel, Dallas; May 27
at the Lubbock Hotel, Lubbock;
and May 28 at the Plaza Hotel,
San Antonio. John C. Lynn legisla
tive director for the Amerisan Farm
Bureau Federation in Washington,
will be the main speaker for all
three meetings.
Lynn’s talk will touch on agricul-
tural legislation being considered
in Washington. This includes all
phases of farm programs that have
been or will be introduced in Con-
gress during this session.
In addition he will explain in
detail the major provisions of the
Agricultural Act of 1949. This is.
the basic law under which agri-
culture will operate beginning
Love Lures
Teachers From
Classrooms
WASHINGTON.—Teachers, so
the old story goes, stay at their
relatively low-paying jobs be-
cause they love the work. Ap-
parently, however, their affec-
tion for teaching can’t match
the power of the old-fashioned
love.
The National Education Assoc-
iation estimated today that 40
percent of the 75,000 teachers
who left their classrooms during
the past year were pushed by
Dan Cupid.
They resigned because they
were getting married, moving
with their husbands to some ot-
her locality or having children.
The estimate was based on de-
tailed analyses made in some
ireas of the country of the turn-
3ver in the country’s 1,000,000-'
worker teaching force.
In one area, Richmond, Va.,
the problem of love sweeping.
the classrooms of teachers was
attributed to GI Bill of Rights.
Assistant Superintendent of Sch-
ools W. H. Deirhoi said the
“love-resignation” problem was
one “we did not face until the
GI Bill in recent years enabled
young men and girls to marry
earlier in life.”
Another superintendent, C. R.
Holsinger of Henrico County,
Va., complained that an increas-
ing number of young women are
“seemingly using teaching. only
as a stop-gap until they get mar-
ried. Many teach only a half
year or a year before they re-
sign.”
Teachers who really are wed-
ded to the profession don’t split
with it so that the turnover a-
mong older teachers was very
small.
Texas Game And Fish
Comm’ssion
Austin, May—T h e Executive
Secretary of the Texas Game and
Fish Commission suggested Texans
can aid wildlife by keeping their
dogs from running wild at this
time of the year.
He said the Animal Kingdom
is now at a crucial spring period
wheh birds are nesting and when
mammals are bearing their young.
The commission already has re-
ceived complaints from scattered
state areas that dogs have been
chasing doe deer heavy with fawn.
Some reports indicate canines have
harassed newly-'born fawn deer.
"That is not the dogs’ fault,”
explained the Executive Secretary.
“A dog’s instinct is to chase things,
any old hound likes nothing
than to take off in the
after some living thing.
“Therefore, it is strictly
the owners to restrain their dogs.
Dogs in areas where wildlife ab-
ounds should be penned up or put
on a leash during the current cri-
tical days. Later
be better able to
self.”
The Executive
emphasized the havoc wrought by
wild house cats, mast of which are
turned loose by their city owners
to get rid of them.
I “This is another case where- the
pets are not to blame,” he said,
icity is turned
“Certainly, if a
icity is turned
it has to begin
own food. That means it begins
prying on wild life.
“Right now inestimable damage
results from cats raiding the young
of game birds, particularly the
ground nesting varities, such as
quail and wild turkey, and even
wild ducks.” Incidentaly, the Ex-
cutive Secretary quoted, a biolo-
gist’s report that roaming dogs do
more damage to ducks nests in
the coastal marshes than any other
predator.

amendments are extended or new
amendments are tacked on. Lynn
is an authority on the 1949 Act.
The sessions are not intended
to rally support for or against any
proposed farm legislation. They
were called at the request of Farm
Bureau members who expressed a
desire for unbiased, factual infor-
mation in order to get a better
understanding of past, present and
possible future farm laws.
Each of the meetings will get
underway at 10 a. m. and will be
concluded by 3 p. m. The sites
and program schedule were ar-
ranged so that a maximum number
of county Farm Bureau leaders
could attend.

has made scores of appearances
before House and State commities
in behalf of Farm Bureau. His
