FRIDAY, JANUARY 24. 1947. Farm Income And Parity Fs ' Y ' r U. S. ARMY'S SUPER-TANK IS A VERITABLE MOBILE FORT Thii monstr weapon, demon strated recently at the Aberdeen (Md.) proving grounds, weighs. 100,009 tons. It moves on double treads, each 18 inches wide, and mounts a high Telocity 106-mUlimeter cannon and a 50-calibre machine gun. It is operated by a crew of four men. some The l'.'4(i income of American far mers is estimated to be higher than ever before in the history of the na tion, topping the previous high of J945 by more than one billion dollars. The expert calculators figure that the farmers of this nation had gross receipts of more than S2.-f,ll(l(l,(l(Mi,HOO, which is about twice as much as they had in pre-war years. It is interesting to note that most of the statistics that come to public notice, in regard to the income of farmers, relate to their gross receipts. It is more difficult to ascertain the net, and practically impossible to j year, figure the average return on the in-' vested capital of agriculturalists. It has been apparent, however, for many years, that the farmers of the United States, as a class, do not re ceive a share of the national income in proportion with that received by other group?. This fact is the basis of the parity payments. Parity is a formula designed to give to far mers the same percentage of the na tional jncome that they enjoyed in selected base years. It should be recognized that the law should be passed wherebv teachers would receive their salary on a 12 months basis instead of nine or ten months as the case may be. Of course there are some who would argue that so long as the teachers re ceive their pay what does it tnattei how they receive it, let them use it in such a manner as to take care of the three summer months when the teachers are not employed. Being human beings, and what with the now high costs of living, we believe that a permanent basis of a 12 months pay would work better for teachers as a whole, and would guarantee the teachers income during the months when they are not on the job of teaching. This plan would not only assist the teachers by sperading evenly their annual salary, but would be a remedy for some grumbling due to lack of salary three months each NATIONAL GUARD INCREASED TO 600,000 Air Mail Not So Fast The (lOverViment advertises the'ex tended use of air mail to save' time in the transmission of letters, but un less a direct air route connects the sender and rceiver, our experience is that there is little time gained. Hertford is not on a direct air mail route.

Gen. B. B. Millanlxmr Thief, National Caard Buna MODERN MINUTE MEN While the artoed services as whole are being reduced, just the reverse is true of the National jGuard, according to Maj. Gen. But ler B. Miltonberger, chief of the National Guard Bureau. Allot ments have been made to the states for 682,000 officers and enlisted men. Before World War II the strength of the National Guard was about 800,000. The National Guard Bu reau, a division of the War Depart ment Special Staff, is charged with representing the War Department id the joint responsibility of "the Federal Government and the StaUa for the National Guard. The complete program, which is based on participation of citiien (ong been delayed. The only hitch to the solution now, is the discussion among the politicians, who hold the purse strings, as the size of the in crease to be voted. We believe some additional thought can be given to the matter, in that spiritual growth. The fault, if any, cannot be laid to the scientists and inventors. It cannot be laid at the door of moral One of the ideas which occurs and " leaders unless one believes that the reoccurs in public discussions is the human race is incapable of individual supposition that man has not, in his thinking.

We imagine that in the declining world. days of the Stone Age, when men soldiers under a universal training schedule will include 25 infantry divisions, 2 armored divisions and 84 tactical air units', plus many separate combat and service units. These are under complete State or Territorial jurisdiction, unless called Into the Federal Service by tha President. More than 6,000 company-sized Guard units will be or ganized. To date 327 have been ' federally recognized. The supervision of such a large force, demanding in the key posi tion a man who can give the Na tional Guard the benefit of knowl edge gained by long experience, is held by Gen. Miltonberger, who enlisted as a private in the Ne braska National Guard in 1916 and served overseas with the Fourth Division in World War I. In 1928 he was appointed a first lieutenant in the NebVaska National Guard tnd attaVed the grade of lieutenant colonel when his regiment, tha 134th Infantry, was mobilized in 1940. Pronioted to colonel, he com manded the regiment In the inva sion of Normandy and was award ed the Legion of Merit for services in the action before St. Lo. Sub sequently he was engaged in tha campaign across Fance and for gallantry and leadership was awarded the Silver SUr, Legion of Merit with clusters and ih Bronte Star with three c'.usters as well as foreign decorations. Ha was as sistant commander of the 35th In fantry Division and was appointed chief of the National Guard Bursal on February 1, 1946.
