Washington Notes HANDICAPPED The Federal Security Agency, in letteri to each of the gover nors, has asked the states to ap propriate $12,000,000 next year to lielp rehabilitate 130,000 handi capped civilians. The states this ;year made available about $6, 950.000 for rehabilitation. F 1M7 CROPS ; Top farm production in the ?United States in 1947 has been urged by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson, who cited the great need for food, antici pated both at home and abroad. .A goal of 388,500.000 acres for cultivated and hay crops, a slight decline from the 1946 total but about three per cent more than the country's farmers actually worked, was set. Because of the world shortage of fats, oils and sugar, the greatest expansion next year was urged in the acreage of cotton, flax, dry beans, soy beans, barley and grain sorgh ums. Farmers were asked to plant as much wheat, corn and rice as they did this year, when record crops of wheat and com were produced. Some reduction in potato planting was suggested, since this year's abundant crop produced a surplus.

CRIME J. Edgar Hoover, ot the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reports that crime increased 8.1 per cent in the United States during the first nine months of 1946 com pared with the same period of 1045. The figures are based on c study of about 400 large cities, representing a population of more than 52,000,000. Robberies r~? 19.2 per cent, murders 15 J per cent, negligent manslaughter 9.4 per cent, aggravated assaults 7.9 per cent, burglaries. 11.3 per cent.

State College Hints j T o Homemakers k f * lleie's a man worth cfltking an ear at. He is H. M. Van L?iew. Mr. p; Van Laew has done something % that practically every business in I the country would like to emu I late; ? he's found a way to cut ? down mistakes in the office. | His company manufactures f | typesetting machines, and many 'of these were used in the war ef fort. There was tremendous pres sure on his company to get the [machines out and to get them Bout fast. In addition, the corpora lion's plant was busy with the production of munitions ? in fact, i>y far Jhe greater part of the per sonnel wag so engaged. The draft whisked away a number of the men, so new people had to be shoved into their places. As a re sults, errors, mistakes, slips, mad dening delays. Once Mr. Van Liew would haul Ihe people jp on the carpet, lec ture them. But would get no where. The mistakes would still occur. One day he overheard two of the employees discussing an er ror one had made. The man des cribed it as a 'five-cent error." Then and there an idea was born in Mr. Van Liew's mind ? he would try an "error kitty box." That is every time one of the of fice force made a mistake, he was to walk up and shove a nickel into the box, along with a slip describing the error. Then Mr. Van Liew agreed to match that nickel. In other words, when anyone made a mistake, ten cents would fall into the error box. Once a month there is an of fice dinner paid for by the good kitty box. Of course, Mr. Van [Liew contributes half the cost, but that is all right with him. After dinner, the slips detail ing the mistakes are hauled out >f the box. They are divided in to two categories ? errors of omis sion, and errors of commission. Mr. Van Liew reads these alud.i The other employees now discuss Mr. Van Liew reads these aloud. The other employees now discuss them and suggest ways by which these mistakes can be remedied. Under New Management - f BEN WALLACE GROCERY CO.; Smithev Old Stand Groceries.
