WASHINGTON.—The government
will set up a “pilot operation” in one
or more cities April 1 to see if its vast
surplus butter holdings can be sold at
cut-rate prices, Agriculture Secre-
tary Ezra T. Benson announced Mon-
day.
Benson said that' if government
plans do not bring dairy product de-
mand into line with supply, “the gov-
ernment may have to do something
to control milk production.”
While Benson gave no details, he
is known to be considering several
plans to sell government butter to
processors at cut prices for them to
resell to consumers. Another pro-
posal being weighed would pay di-
rect subsidies to processors or pro-
ducers, and hand out coupons that
would let consumers buy butter at
lower prices.
The aim of the project is to unload
some of the government’s 301,400,000
pounds of surplus butter by giving
shoppers a chance to buy it at a low-
; er price. It presumably would bring
' butter prices in the trial areas even
lower than the regular rparket price
after the 8-cent drop expected April
1, when the government cuts its “sup-
port price.”

TOKYO. — A husky, healthy 17-
year-old farmer’s daughter can be
bought lock-stock and barrel from
her father for less than $30 in Japan
today and government officials are
starting to fidget with embarrass-
ment.
The red faces are caused mainly by
the ridiculously low price, rather
than the human slave practice itself,
because child sales, which never
were sanctioned, is a 300-year-old
practice that the United States occu-
pation failed to stamp out.
The going price of 10,000 yen
($27.78) for a mature girl is an all-
time low, representing a drop
about $14 from last fall’s price.
Poor crops last year forced the drop
in prices as hard-pressed farmers
reverted more and more to the cus-
tom of selling their children to scrape
up cash to meet foreclosures and
keep the rice bowl filled.
The Japanese welfare ministry and
police officials have been cracking
down hard but for every child
“broker” arrested, perhaps ten oth-
ers escape detection.
The government’s prosecution of-
fice reported that more than 30,000
cases of child sales were “discov-
ered” in 1953, an increase of more
than 8,000 over 1952.

If you earn $5,000 or more per
annum a trip to Europe will be pos-
sible for you in two to five years.
This is one of the aims of a bill to
establish a United States Travel
Commission, sponsored on the floor
of the House of Representatives last
week by Rep. Jacob K. Javits (R.-
Lib) of New York.
The main purpose of the United
States Travel Commission is to send
as many Americans as possible on
foreign pleasure tours as a means of
promoting the program of trade-not-
aid to free nations. Javits thinks
the expansion of international travel
by United States citizens can add
$1,300,000,000 a year to the economy
of the world’s free peoples. “Help-
ing foreign economy by sending
Americans on foreign holidays,” says
Javits, “offers the taxpayer a pro-
gram in which he can participate
with the greatest possible pleasure.”
In 1951, Javits notes, there were
9,000,000 people in the United States
earning $5,000 or more a year. ■ By
early 1954 this figure had risen to
12,000,000. The congressman be-
lieves that each of these people could
count on a trip to Europe during the
next five years if the total cost of a
two weeks’ excursion could be
reduced to about $500, transportation
included. He thinks a governmental
agency could inspire the expansion
of plane traffic, take ships out of
moth balls, urge foreign governments
to build large, low-cost hotels and
hostels.
Could Snip Red Tape
A federal commission, says Javits,
would be in a position to seek the aid
of this government’s vast diplomatic
machine both as a tourist propaganda
agency and also to snip the red tape
that impedes the flow of bona fide
tourists.
For Form and Home
Disguised
A lady approached the clerk in the
police station and said she wanted to
swear out a warrant for a man’s ar-
rest.
“What does he look like?” asked
the clerk. “Has he a mustache?”
“I couldn’t say,” answered the
lady, “but if he does he keeps it
shaved off.”
Critic
The lady of the house summoned a
TV serviceman to fix the set. Spread-
ing out his tools, the repairman in-
quired, “What seems to be the trou-
ble?”
Replied the little woman: “Well,
for one thing, all the programs are
lousy!”
Super Specialist
A young doctor returned to the
small town where he was born and
called on the family physician.
“I suppose that you intend to spe-
cialize,” remarked the elder.
“Oh, yes,” answered the youth
loftily. “In the diseases of the nose;

Dr. E. V. McCollum, the revered
Emeritus Professor of the School of
Hygiene and Public Health at Johns
Hopkins University, says this:
“The people who have achieved,
who have become large, strong, vig-
orous people, who have reduced their

trades in the world, who have an ap-
preciation of art, literature and
music, who are progressive in science

intellect are the people who

ure to build. Unlike the old style
benches, the ones described in the
free plan are separate, so one
needn’t climb over them to sit
down. When the picnic’s over, they
fit neatly under the table!
The table is rugged and sturdy.
Its smooth, splinter-free top is
made of Masonite Tempered Presd-
wood, which will never split, splin-
ter or crack. Rain, wind and snow
won’t affect it.
Another advantage of the design
shown is that winter storage is
made simple because one merely
unbolts the “X” frame legs, folds
them together and stores them. .
The table top can be hung on a
wall in the garage or storeroom.
Benches can be carried inside and
used for wintertime or bad
weather gatherings in the recrea-
tion room.

When property owners see flying
insects in or around their homes their
first thought is th^at these are winged
or swarmer termites. Possibly they
are, since this is the swarming season
for termites.
However, the flying insects are al-
most as likely to be the winged forms
of one of the common species of ants
that invade houses, such as the little
black ant, the carpenter ant or the
Argentine ant. These insects are
troublesome and annoying in many
ways, but most of them do not dam-
age the wood in buildings. The car-
penter ant does minor damage, but it
is very slight in
termite damage.
The flying ant which is most fre-
quently confused with the termite
has a very thin, wasplike waist. The
wings extend only slightly beyond
the end of the body, with the fore
wings being longer than the hind
wings.
The termite is just about a quar-
ter of an inch long, but its wings ex-
tend far beyond the body. All wings
are of equal length.
The swarmer termites do no dam- I
age to wood. They emerge from
their nests in the ground for a brief
flight before shedding their wings,
selecting mates and starting new col-
onies. Although the swarmers them-
selves are not wood-eaters,
presence indicates that there
termite infestation near by.
Property owners detecting flying
insects on their premises should call
a termite inspector, saving specimens
of the flying insects for the inspector
if possible.
Profit and Loss
A bride-to-be was showing her
friend a list of guests to be invited to
the wedding.
After her friend had read
names she looked puzzled.
“What’s the matter?” asked
bride-to-be.
“Isn’t it rather strange,” queried
the friend, “you have only put down
the names of married couples?”
“Yes, that was Jack’s idea. Don’t
you think it’s rather clever? He says
that if we invite only married people
the presents will be all clear profit.”
Homonym
After a very trying day at the of-
fice, the husband was enjoying his
pipe and reading the evening paper.
His wife who was working on a
crossword puzzle suddenly called
out: “Henry, what is a female
sheep?” /
’ “Ewe,” replied her husband, and
that’s how the fight began.
Fundamental Difference
In a South Mississippi town there
are two churches across the street
from each other.
“Couldn’t those churches be com-
bined?” a visitor asked.
“Not very well,” was the reply
“That church over there says: ‘There
ain’t no hell,’ and this one over here
says, ‘The hell there ain’t’!”
One stork, said to the other,
“There’s a mean streak in you,
brother, or you wouldn’t leave three
at the house where the washing ma-
chine is broken down.”
