About Cattle Breeds
.* By L. B. HARDAGE
.. Extension Chairman
Mr. J. O. Knight, Artificial
Inaemlnator for the Vancer
Warren Artificial Breeding Association,
would like for all
. cattle producers in Warren and
Vance counties to know more
. about the association he repre>
seats.
, , Mr. Knight has available or
i can secure semen from all the
newest and oldest breeds of
. beef cattle.
A relatively ne* breed is the
Sim mental - a large breed developed
In Switzerland as a dual
, purpose cattle. They are geni
erally red and white spotted and
>' tare large when fully grown •
. . up to 2400 pounds.
The Limousin Imported from
_ France Is wheat colored, rang~ing
from reddish to light yellow.
Mature bulls average
over a ton and cows about 1,300
pounds.
Another ° new one is the
Maine-Anjou. It originated In
Western France and is red
in color with some white usually
on lower legs. These cattle
when mature are In the 1800
to 2500 pound class.
The breeds most of us are familiar
with are Red Angus,
Angus, Hereford, rharolals,
Shorthorn. Another new one
| is the Hays Converter-a cross
J between Hereford, Brown Swiss
i and Holsteln. This breed was
! developed to produce a fast
growing good milking type of
t cdttle.
The association also carries
| a complete line of all the dairy
I type bull semen.
| This is an excellent way for
, you to breed your cattle to some
j of the best bulls in the world
m without owning a bull. Mr.
; Knight's phone number is Nor:
Una 456-2841 and I am sure he
j would be glad to discuss your
cattle breeding pp>graa» with
you.
A PARABLE FOR OUR TIMES
A man ' lived by the side of
tl. road and sold hot dogs.
He was hard of hearing so be
had no radio.
He had trouble with his eyes
so he read no newspapers.
But he sold good hot dogs.
He put up a sign on the highway
telling how good they were.
He stood by the side of the
road and cried: "Buy a hot
dog, Mister."
And people bought.
He Increased his meat
and roll orders.
He bought a bigger stove to
take care of his trade.
He got his son home from
college to help him.
But then something happened
.... i
His son said, "Father,
haven't you been Ustenlngtothe
radl^?" m
If money stays "tight," we
are bound to hpve bad business.
There may be a big depression
coming on.
You had better prepare for
poor trade."
Thereupon the Father
thought, "Well, my sop has
gone to college.
He reads the papers, and he
listens to the radio, and he
ought to know."
So the Father cut down on
his meat and roll orders.
Took down his advertising
signs.
And no longer bothered to
stand on the highway to sell hot
dogs.
And his hot dog sales fell
almost overnight.
"You're right. Son," the
Father said to the boy.
"We are certainly headed for
a depression."

3 THE PEOPLE 8S»i
WASHINGTON, D. C.- Good
medical car* at a pile* people
can afford to pay U a vital
necessity. Our oat Ion's good
health must be maintained; U
It la allowed to deteriorate
America will be a helpless
giant.
We now have the world's best
medical care—doctors, nurses,
technicians, hospitals—but the
population explosion has placed
an Intolerable burden on existing
facilities and personnel.
Many more hospital beds and
health care people are urgently
needed In the years Immediately
ahead.
I'm afraid we'll face a health
crisis of great proportions
within the foreseeable future
unless we plan responsibly and
prudently to prevent U.
Health experts estimate that
we need nearly one-half million
more people In the health
field If we are to meet the minimum
requlrementa of our
people In the next few more
years.
That breaks down to 49,000
more doctors, 17,000 more dentists,
150,000 more nurses,
105,000 more environmental
health specialists and 161,000
other health professionals.
In addition, U lr estimated
that America needs to add
25,000 more hospital beds and
to modernize at least 250,000
of our present hospital beds In
order to make available the
latest advances In medical
equipment.
Not only are more hospital
beds needed but there Is also an
urgent need for more nursing
homes and other extended care
facilities. Health facilities of
this nature provide a vital service
and also release medical
personnel and hospital beds for
use In more serious Illnesses.
Surprisingly, America Is now
Importing 8,000 doctors a year,
and, even so, 11,000 hospital
residencies are not filled.
None of us knows when he
might get sick and need medical
care or hospitalization. Everyone
rightfully wants to know that
he can get the help he needs
when he needs It. That's why
these figures are of so much
concern.
» Medical card ft'our country
' seems to be on ti^ verge'dTiT
crisis. Some leading experts
are predicting a breakdown In
our medical system unless the
Administration moves decisively
to avert disaster. But,
unfortunately, there seems to
be no strong sense of direction,
no forceful health care
leadership coming from the
current Administration.
la fact, one of the political
appointees of this Administration
publicly admitted that
the health situation Is going to
get worse, but that they have no
specific plans to meet the problem.
Nothing Is accomplished by
burying our heads in the sand.
Pressing and urgent problems
aren't solved that way.
Meanwhile, the present Congress
has taken decisive steps
to allocate national resources
in a prudent way so as to provide
the wherewithal to defuse
the crisis. For example,
the Congress authorised appropriations
of up to $432.5
million for medical facilities
and modernization; up to fU.5
million for medical library
assistance; and up to $167 million
for commwtty mental
health cantors, to em at ion but
a tew aspect* of legislative
set loo.
Tims, the way U clear lor
Administratis action to request
whatever level of funding
Is needed and necessary
to meat the challenge
of keeping America a strong,
he si thy giant.
If we are short of doctors
sod nurses, sod health workers
of ill types, we should do sll
we csn to sea that enough young
men snd women are offered the
opportunity of receiving the
proper educstion and entering
this vocation. w
If we are short of hospitals,
than we should use our available
funds in a responsible
way to meet the need.
Good Health care is a national
necessity of life and we
should never let this basic fact
escape the attention of our
nation's leaders and public officials.

In loving memory of Walter
R. Parrlsh who departed this

Fire years ago he said goodbye
To a world of trouble and strife.
He took his flight to a better
world,
To a better eternal life.
80 many things have happened

Since he went up there to stay;
I'd like to tell him about some
of them
B he was here today.
The one I am sure would please
him most
Is about the new church we
have built,
A beautiful structure within and
without
Where God makes known
His will.
t aeems sometimes I can see
Him there
Praising God for His blessings
to men
With uplifted hands and tears
of Joy,
He'd praise him again and agate
I know he'd be proud and so
happy
To worship with God's people

has been declared Warren
County Forestry Week. This
special week Is sponsored by"
the Forestry Club and has been

the total forest resources. Dur
Life Expectancy Shows
Large Increase In U. S.
RALEIGH—How long can a
person here In the United States
expect to live? Probably 20
years longer than his grandfather
did, notes Isabelle Buckley,
extension specialist In aging,
North Carolina State University.
For life expectancy In this
country has Increased more
than 20 years since 1900.
In fact, a male Is now
granted an average life span
of 75 years; a female a term
of 80 years.
The future looks even brighter.
"The likeliest estimate Is
that humans will live about
a 100 years," Miss Buckley
notes. And there will be cases
here and there of persons
living to the ripe old ages of
120, 130 and even 150.
lng this special week, there
will be radio programs, displays
and newspaper articles
devoted to the importance of
forestry in tl«e county.
Warren County has 140,000
acres of forests with an estimated
stump value to owners
oft$2,000,000 per year and with
an extended value to the county
of $8,000,000. In addition to
the dollar value, forests help in
conservation of water, provide
a habitat for wildlife, offer
recreation facilities and
provide natural beauty.
The Forestry Club working
committee for Warren County
Forestry Week is Clinton
Capps, Donald Manley, Alan
Norwood, Tommy Thompson,
Travis Pulley, F.W. Reams and
L. B. Hardage.
Life Insurance companies are
especially Interested to these
trends, notes the specialist. And
they conduct some research of
their own.
For example, a 12-year
study, made by a life Insurance
company, Indicated that prominent
professional and business
men lived 30 percent longer
than did white men in the general
population.
Scientists, educators and
clergymen also seemed to be
blessed with long lives.
On the other hand, physicians
and surgeons had mortality
rates 10 percent higher than
average. Correspondents and
jbiupsllsts had the least favorable
record. '
Hearty soups made with milk
are nourishing enough to be
served as the main course for
lunch or supper. Add cheese
and you'll have a tasty meatless,
protein-rich entree.
