'(ontn)ittce of Peanut Users
Since 1949, peanut acreage has grown smaiier and smalier each
year, but our popuiation has increased by 8 miliion people in that
same period. Totat acreage of at) farm crops taken together has
increased to take advantage of bigger markets. But the Farm Vaiue
of peanuts has dropped from more than $246 million (@10^c per
pound in 1948) to about $160 miiiion (@)0.8c per pound) in 1952. A
vote against peanut acreage contro! in the December referendum can
reverse this trend.

WHITE HOUSE
SOCIAL WHIRL
For the first time in some
years, the White House is plan-
ning a gay social season. Six
state dinners and five state re-
ceptions have been announced,
beginning this month and run-
ning through February. The six
state dinners will entertain the
Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the
Vice President, and the Speaker
of the House and two for the
diplomatic corps.
"Smogville, U. S. A.
Holiywood, Calif.—Officials of
the city of Los Angeles are much
disturbed over the fact that an
increasing number of letters
merely addressed "Smogville, U.
S. A." are promptly delivered to
Los Angeles.
Card Of Thanks
We desire to express our sin-
cere thanks and appreciation .o
those who sent flowers, cards
and other gifts during my ex-
tended illness. And for your
visits which helped to pass away
the iong hours.
To the members of the Friend-
ship class of the Methodist
Church who remombare) me
with fiowers and the bssket of
food on Thanksgiving, we sin-
cerely thank you from the bot-
tom of our heart.
We will always remember all
of these acts of kindness.
Tom Nicar.
