U. S. Sheepmen Told in Utah
THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS 2 A
Abilene, Texas, Wednesday Evening, December 8, 1954 O-A
SALT LAKE CITY (—Sheepmen
heard today of a local campaign
that brought up to sixfold increases
in the use of lamb. They were ad
vised to try a similar plan, nation-
wide.
“I am sure,” said Gale Smith,
“that such a program would mean
more to the wool growing industry
than anything heretofore tried."
Smith, of the Producers Live-
stock Marketing Assn, here, spoke
to the National Wool Growers
Assn. *
Took 3 Months
He told of a three-month effort
to increase consumption of lamb in
the Salt Lake City area.
“The results were most satis-
Christmas Party

Plans are being made by the Ris-
ing Star Chamber of Commerce
for the annual Christmas party to
be held Dec. 24 on the lot next to

will be items on the agenda for

Mrs. A. Louise Weber is chair-

Rising Star Football

RISING STAR, Dec. 8 (RNS)-
Members of the Rising Star Wild-
cat football team will be guests at
a banquet given by the Cheer
Leader Organization Friday in the
basement of the First Methodist
Church, Miss Martha Jay Chil-

nounced today.

factory,” he said. “For July the
increase was 28 per cent more
than for the same month of last
year. August showed a 54 per cent
increase and September 66 per
cent.
"One packer had an increase of
over 250 per cent Many retail
stores sold up to six times as much
lamb during the campaign as they
did in the same period a year
ago.”
The Four Da
Smith said the campaign em-
phasized "the four D’s: the de-
liciousness of lamb; its digesti-
bility; its dynamic energy and the
diet perfect food.”
Smith said if the increase in
consumption resulting from the
localized campaign were applied
nationwide it would mean a 33 1-3
per cent boost in the use of lamb.
One subject before the wool
growers is the self-help plan of
the new National Wool Law.' It
gives the sheep growers authority
to assess themselves to finance an
advertising campaign. Association
officials said that if it is used
fully, the plan could produce up to
2% million dollars per year to be
used to finance promotional acti-
vities.
Most Important Feature
Frank Immasche, Department of
Agriculture official, said yesterday
the self-help plan “will likely be-
come the most important feature
of the National Wool Act in the
long run.”
"The self-help program to en-
courage greater demand for lambs
and wool in the open market and
the incentive payments program
provide a well rounded attack on
the problem of bolstering sheep
producers’ income.”
Sen. Frank Barrett (R-Wyo) said
he believed the new wool law
would result in the livestock in-
dustry being placed "on a much
sounder basis in the next five to
IB years”
"A good many old established
wool growers who converted to the
cattle business,” he said, "will re-
turn to sheep raising and as a con-
sequence the balance between
sheep and cattle will be reestab-
lished."
The Wool Growers’ Women’s
Auxiliary elected Mrs. Earl Wright
of Dubois, Idaho, president.
Even a Horse
Needs a Nickel
COLUMBUS, Ohio —A horse
hired to pull a buggy as a TV
program publicity stunt was left
tied to a parking meter yester-
day. A policeman came along, put
a ticket on the horse’s nose, and
took horse and buggy to headquar-
ters. The horse’s driver had ne-
glected to put a coin in the meter.
22 Survivors
Of Bomb Released
TOKYO —The 22 survivors of
the Japanese, fishing boat Lucky
Dragon, which was dusted with
radioactive ash from the Ameri-
can hydrogen bomb tests in the
Pacific, will leave Tokyo hospitals
about Dec. 20, hospital authorities
said today. A 23rd fisherman died
after a long illness.
Dallas Just Cold
Enough for Snow
DALLAS O—It snowed in Dallas
Tuesday.
For two whole minutes, from
9:46 to 9:48 am., scattered snow
pellets fell on the city. The Weather
Bureau said moist air gathered at
high levels and it was just cold
enough at ground level. 38 de-
grees, to allow the moisture to fall
as snow and not as rain drops.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. an - The
Democratic party has "many men
who are presidential timber" and
Adlai Stevenson must seek the
1956 presidential nomination "vig-
orously" if he wants it, says Paul
Butler, the party’s new national
chairman.
Butler, also told a television pan-
el of South Bend newsmen last
night that "he (Stevenson) and
other candidatee must let the par-
ty and the nation know their in-
tentions by the latter part of
1955 ”
The South Bend lawyer, pressed
by the newsmen to name possible
candidates, mentioned Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee, Sen. Rich-
ard Russell of Georgia, Gov. Frank
Lausche of Ohio, Gov. G. Mennen
Williams of Michigan, Gov.-elect
George M. Leader of Pennsylvania
and Gov.-elect Averell Harriman
of New York.
"All I know is what I read in
the papers and most papers con-
sider him (Stevenson) the leader
right now," Butler said. "But the
Democratic party is fortunate in
having many men who are presi-
dential timber for 1956."
“I have no reason-to think that
Stevenson will or will not seek the
nomination. However, he won’t ob-
tain it the same way he did in
’52. There will be no draft. If Ste-
venson seeks the nomination, he
must seek it vigorously."
The tenor of the new chairman’s
remarks apparently were intended
to establish himself as an inde-
pendent factor in the party, al-
though he was generally believed
to be pro-Stevenson in party af-
fairs.
On the subject of the situation in
the South, he said: "I am hopeful
that factionalism with the Demo-
cratic party is over and I will
work to that end."
Egyptian Students
Protest Hangings
AMMAN, Jordan Un—A thousand
secondary school students paraded
to the Egyptian Embassy today,
protesting Egypt’s hanging of six
Moslem Brotherhood members
charged with trying to overthrow
Egypt’s military government.
There was no violence as sol-
diers and police surrounded the
embassy and guarded the march-
ers’ route through Amman. Com-
munist influence was indicated.
The six brotherhood members
were hanged in Cairo yesterday
after being convicted Saturday of
plotting to assassinate Premier
Gamal Abdel Nasser and unseat
his government.
