K1SSELBURG Your county ASC committee has scheduled a meeting next Thurs day. February Uth In the court room of the Cherokee County Courthouse. The purpose of this meeting is to have the other USDA agencies along with with ASC to review the farmers situation. It is hoped that a representative of each agency present will talk to the group about what part they do toward service or education for the farmer. The ASC program is offered to every farmer in the county. We feel that the community com mitteemen are in position to ad vise and inform farmers in their community about the services and |ACP assistance that are avail-' I able. The county office personnel can1 not reach every farmer because we do not have the time to talk to them since we would have to go to their farms to contact them, and more than a lot ol them figure if their committee men says it is o.k., that is it. This is the principal reason we wrKe you a newsletter each week. We are hoping after this meet ing you will go back home and inform your nieghbors how the agricultural agencies helps them, especially ACP.

Pony Express Riders Must Be Willing To "Risk Death Daily" This year's centennial celebrat ions of the famous Pony Express will be largely a tribute to Ameri can youth. Most of the daring riders of the famous mail - carrying service which began April 3. 1860 between St. Joseph, Mo. and Sacramento, Cal. were very young men ? many of them in their teens. An advertisement of the Times in San Francisco, seeking Pony Express riders, stated: "Wanted? young, skinny, wiry fellows not over 18. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Or phans preferred. Wages $25 a week. . ." Young men entering Pony Ex press Service, operated by the famous transportation firm ot Russell. Majors & Waddell. were given a Bible. These are very rare today. Riders were required also to take this oath upon entering ser vice. "I hereby swear, before the Great and Living God. that, dur ing my engagement, and while I am an employe of Russell. Maj ors & Waddell, I will, under no circumstances, use profane lan guage; that I will drink no intoxi cating liquors; that I will not quarrel or fight with any other employe of the firm, and that in every respect I will conduct my self honestly, be faithful to my duties, and so direct all my acts as to win the confidence of my employers. So help me God." The youthful Pony Express rid ers consistently outran Indian pur suers while carrying the mails through the wilderness, often through blinding snows and how iing storms, and in extremes of heat and cold. Only one Pony Express rider was lost to the In dians. Johnnie Ery lor Irey" accord ing to some writers) is credited by some accounts with being the first Pony Express rider to leave St. Joseph on April 3. 1860. He was little more than a boy when he entered the Express service. He was a native Missourian, weighing less than 125 pounds. An early ac count states: "Though small in stature, he was every inch a man. His run was from St. Joseph to Seneca, Kansas, about 80 miles, which he covered in an average of 12'i miles an hour, including all stops." He later entered the Union Army and was killed in a hand in-hand fight in which he was credited with killing five assail ants before he was killed himself. William "Bill" James, a native Viginian. was credited with being one of the best of the Pony Ex press riders over a route in Neva da through some of the most sav age Indian country. According to Alexander Majors of the Russell. Majors and Wad dell firm, in a book published in 1893 ( "Seventy Years on the Frontier"*, William F "Bill" Cody was a Pony Express rider, in his early teens when he entered the famous mail service. Cody is cre dited with many notable feats, in cluding a ride aggregating 384 miles without any real rest period, which is referred to by some authorities as probably the longest continuous performance of its kind ? not only in the annals of the Pony Express, but in any other courier service in history. None of the Pony Express young men had an opportunity to grow old in the Service. In October. 1861. the cross - country telegraph was completed and the Pony Ex press was terminated. Despite its short life, it was credited with many important contributions, in cluding the fact that it helped to keep East and West joined during the early crucial days of the Civil War. Although the Pony Express was short lived, it will be very much alive this year. Many pageants, celebrations and other activities memorializing the Pony Express are planned for this 1960 Centennial year. As a part of Centennial year celebrations Hie Post Office De partment will issue a new Pony Express commemorative postage stamp nest July It at Sacramento, together with a new commemora tive stamped envelope to be is sued at St, Joseph.
