All .this do-it-yourself-stuff is
for the birds once in awhile. I
always like to try and fix every-
thing I can without having to
call someone out from town but
it causes trouble too. Was re-
working my T Vantenna with a
new lead in wire. Had to take the
whole outfit down to do it. Got
the wire on ok, put it back up.
Decided to install a new base
clamp alone. Guy wire broke and
the while outfit came brashing
down. Wife came out and won-
dered if I had punched a hole in
the roof, not if I had fallen. Fi-
nally got the whole thing up in
good shape with many words,
tools, skinned knees and a prom-
ise never to do it again in a
strong wind. I saved a 5 dollar
trip from a repairman in town.
The whole job cost me around $8,
ha.

Just thought I’d drop a few
lines in this week to let you all
know what gots on in Russia on
the farm:
“And speaking of acting, no
acting could possibly cover up
the miserable situation of the
Russian farmer—for the life of a
Russian is not a happy one. In
fact, the whole picture of Rus-
sian agriculture is one of an un-
wieldly Communist-imposed col-
lective farm system, fraught with
inefficient government-con-
trolled management, guided by a
quack agronomist — antiquated
and inadequate tools and ma-
chinery, improper farming tech-
niques, and 20 million farm fam-
ilies who have been robbed of all
incentive to produce. On a small
collective farm of 2800 acres near
Moscow, there were 296 farm
families living and working. It
was 12 miles from the Soviet cap-
ital but might as well have been
in upper Siberia as far as mod-
ern improvements were con-
concerned. The houses were of
the log-cabin type caulked with
grass. Methods were the same as
were used during the turn of the
century. There were two commu-
nity pumps, no irrigation and
horse drawn vehicles. The farm
worker receives payment accord-
ing to the number of days work
done by his particular work
group or brigade. Each family
has 1 to 2 acres for its own use.
The special tax on his income is
based not on what he raises, but
on what the government thinks
he ought to have raised.” Think
it over Americans, and say your
prayers that - it never happens
here. (The Skelly News)

Now about these separate va-
cations that so many are taking
this summer and have been tak-
ing for years. I’m debating in my
mnd whether it’s just exactly
right or not. Course I could get
myself into a peck of arguments
on this one but it seems that two
people should be able to get along
for no longer than two weeks
without having their little squab-
bles. Try taking a bunch of kids
along too and you wouldn’t have
time to fight.
Read recently of the billions
of dollars that are in the put for
Social Security. Wonder if the
payments in aren’t way ahead of
the payments out? Makes me
kind of mad at times to work a
half a day and give it away to
this outfit. Course when I finally
do reach the age for the benefits
I guess it’ll come in mighty handy
if they don’t change the law by
then.

Don’t believe I’ve ever seen so
much interest in anything of late
than the golf tournament that is
in progress at the local Country
Club. Bet some of those people
haven’t been up that early in
years but they start out at-6:30
and 7:00 in the morning and con-
tinue on through the day. Hope
all concerned are happy with the
results and tht it’s the best
County-wide tournament yet.

Wonder how a man gets along
with only one to three pairs of
shoes to his name? Seems a wom-
an never really gets enough pairs
or she doesn’t ever have any that
will go with anything else.
We’re building a 20 by 20 closet
at our house to just house all the
shoes for the little woman. We
call it a “Shoe Depot.”
I see several farmers baling
that old JG grass these days.
There’s always one consolation, if
nothing else grows, there will at
least be plenty of hay in old Col-
lin. Maybe this is the good Lord’s
way of saying that we ought to
quit trying to farm the blood out
of the ground with row crops
and go back to grass for about
10 years, could be you know.

Why did you celebrate this Labor Day? Because of the
good things your job makes possible for you and your
family? Nice home? Car? All kinds of labor-saving ap-
pliances? We Americans have plenty of reasons!
One of the best of them is the Payroll Savings Plan your
Government offers you. This plan is the only one of its
kind in the world. And it makes raving for the things we
really want as easy as it can lie. a
You simply sign the Payroll Savings Authorization Card
in the payroll office where you work. Sign up for the
amount of money you want. Then that amount is set aside
for you—automatically—and put into your payroll savings
account. When there’s enough, a Bond is bought in your
name and given to you. Then that Bond starts earning
interest—adding more money to your savings. It’s a quick,
sure way to reach your saving goal, whatever it may be.
And non) Savings Bonds are better than ever! Every Series
E Savings Bond purchased since February 1, 1957 Pays
31/00 interest when held to maturity. It pays higher in-
terest, too, in the earlier years, and matures in only
eight years and 11 months.
So there’s an extra reason for making every Labor Day
extra enjoyable. Sign up for the Payroll Savings Plan
where you work now. And on all your holidays your Sav-
ings Bonds will be earning extra money for you. ,

in this 6th year of hard plow-
ing out here on Route No. 2, I
don’t know which is going to fall
apart first, me or the tractor. I
realize that these breaking plows
are slow, tedious and cumber-
some and I would like to have a
new one of the disk type. How-
ever, they really go in the ground
and until something better comes
along, guess we’ll do with what
we can. A good 3 inch rain would
put smiles on a lot of people’
faces.
