It can be car ried out by the whole family to the "benefit of all. Making and keep of New Year's safety resolutions on the part of each member of the farm family is a practice recommended by the National Safety Council. It is much more than a pastime; it is a practice for assuring the happiness and well being of farm people everywhere. The National Safety Council of fers the following farm family sug gestions as resolutions to he kept in 1949: "We will check the farm and farmstead periodically to locate haz ards and remove them to make safer working conditions.' "We will keep shields in place on power machinery at all times and observe rules for safe operation." "We will encourage members of our family and neighbors to work, play, and drive safely." "We will consider safety features in farm buildings and structures when we plan to build or remodel." "We will handle poisons and ex plosives carefully, keeping them well labeled and out of reach of chil dren."

W^ad to Chippy!" demanded a little boy, not quite two years old, the day after Christmas. With an armload of books he climbed to his grandfather's knee. For more than an hour, this ener getic little fellow was a "a lamb in stead of a tiger" while his "Big Daddy" was "weading". At the library in Marion the week after Christmas young people and adults were as interested in books as before the holiday season. More than a hundred books were checked out each day of the week. "I have stacks of 'em ! I want all of 'em !" explained little John Gilkey to his miother. Mrs. Gilkey was selecting a book or two for her self from the shelves in the adult reading room and was taking a bit longer to make her book selections than her eager, young son. Like John, the youngsters are wanting to check out "lots of library books" to read themselves or for 'others to read aloud to them. Al ready they have claimed the new tables and chairs for their own. They enjoy spreading out their books to choose the ones they want to take home and then settling down in the chairs or on the benches to read in one or two before they check them out. Many children will enjoy the hooks given to the library by Sam Rowe: "Chip Chip" by Wright, "Uncle Ben Jay's Wonder Book" by de la Motte, "Monkeyface" by Evers, "Dumbo" by Disney, and "Toys" by Osswald. Also appreciated are the books given by Mrs. George Rowe: "Give Us Our Dream" by Arthe mise Goertz, "Woman of Property" by Mabel Seeley, "Eagle in the Sky" by Van Wyck Mason, and "Aater math" by Hans Habe. Mrs. E. B. Wright gave the library two popular books for children: "The Little Farm" by Lois Lenski and "Storyland" by Roberta Paflin. Mrs. Dickey Gibson gave the li brary a copy of "Elizabeth, Captive Princess" by Margaret Irwin. Miss Bonnie Hill and Miss Doris Hill gave the library a generous col lection of popular magazines. Among the new names added to our registration files are: Macky L. Boone, Mrs. Archie Burell, Charles Ray Ellis, Tommy Hicks, Thomas Huskins, Bobby Lee Martin, Dr. Lloyd D. Miller, Mrs. Clara E. Ray burn, Tommy Ross, Joseph W. Sil ver, Herman Stepp, Mrs. James Taylor, Mrs. Zora Turner. J. B. Walker, Jr., Rev. H. M. Wellman, and Eugene Woodby. Among the new books are several light romances, westerns, and mys teries: "Boss of the Far West" by Herbert Shappiro, western; "Dark Canyon" by Tex Holt, western; "A Good Place for Murder", mystery; "The Tender Melody" by Leslie Lynd, "The Road Leads Home" by Rebecca Marsh, afrid "Both Were Yioung" by B e n n i e Hall—Ro mances. New Books For Young People "Niles" by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire—All little boys who received their first cowboy outfits for Christmas will enjoy this story of a little Norwegian boy who wanted to be an American cowboy. The story of what happened to Nils and his school friends is told and pictured with real humor and with a deep understanding of the prob lems of a small boy or girl growing up, going to school and standing on his own two feet in the United States today. "Pass that Puck" by Richard Flood—A fast-moving hockey story for boys, with the setting in New England, where hockey is played on ice. The old charter of New Jersey was third shortest among the 48 states. Now Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Arkansas, Rhode Island, Ten nessee and Vermont rank ahead of it in brevity. » ^fcirah ^/Inris CooKing Class This time of year your hopes are higher, your resolves firmer than any other time of the whole year.

Population of Nation Placed at 148,000,000 Washington, Dec. 29—The census bureau reported today that the pop ulation of the United States reached a record 148,000,000 in 1948, with the number of employed at an all time high of 63,842,000 in July. The bureau issued a year-end re port as a non-government organiza tion, the population reference bu reau, called for a world population limitation program to give a decent living to its inhabitants. The population bureau placed the world's peoples at 2,250,000,000 and said they are increasing at the rate of 200,000,000 a decade. It said not even the United States can be assured of Democratic institutions in the next 25 to 50 years in the face "of the increase. The census bureau said that in November, U. S. employment in non agricultural industries totalled about 51,932,000—more than 5,600,000 higher than the December, 1942 peak. It said there were about 285,000 industrial establishments, an in crease of 100,000 over the 1940 census total. The population reference bureau said that only about 750,000,000 of the world's 2,500,000,000 persons could be supported at the level of living enjoyed by the people of this country. The bureau is a non-profit scien tific educational organization which was founded in 1929 to gather and distribute population data. Its director, Guy Irving Burch, said in an article, "How Many Peo ple Can The World Support," that some substitute be found for war, unnecessary disease and un d e r nourishment as methods of curtailing population. He said it is "generally agreed" that any program of population limitation will have to include a "simple, safe pnd inexpensive means of birth control." FARM CROPS I The Department of Agricultur» has asked farmers to reduce their 1949 planting of wheat and pota toes to prevent market-glutting sur pluses, while recommending an in crease in poultry, vegetables, sheep and lambs, hogs and beef cattle. In spite of recent scientific ad vances, one baby in fourteen in the United States is lost at or soon after birth. /time to R E • T I R E REG. U S PAT OFF.
