GEORGE C. BOLES Optometrist Nevada City v North San Juan Nature Notes By Alice G. Farnsworth Did you know that the Joshua tree belongs to the lily family? That the rattlers on the tail of a rattlesnake do not indicate the rattler’s age? That turtles, snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and alligators are all lizards?. That soap-stone floats? That chalk is formed from tiny sea-shells? These and many other interesting facts the members of the North San Juan Nature club, ably sponsored by Mrs. Evelyn Gilstrap Williams, are learning every second and fourth Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock in the North San Juan schoolhouse. Margaret McQuinn is chairman, and Mrs. Alice Kohler is secretary -treasurer. Mrs. Williams is somewhat of a celebrity herself. For 13 years she has edited a bulletin for the Moth and Butterfly club. This bulletin reaches club members all over.the world, some of whom live in Korea, England, Austria, and Japan. At one of the meetings Mrs. Williams brought a lizard and a mouse preserved in_ alcohol. Neither of these creatures would have excited interest by itself, not even if the mouse had attempted to swallow ‘the lizard. But here was a lizard that had tried to swallow a mouse. The mouse got stuck half way down the lizard’s throat, and it may have experienced some sweet revenge in knowing it had choked the lizard to death. The last meetinz terminated with a scramble down a clay diggings so steep it was more like an inclined plane than a cliff. One member, slipping and sliding down the loose clay, handed in her resignation on the spot; but the next moment, seated among grass and tall trees, she reconsidered, and is Still a member. : The next meeting will take place on August 10. The Nature club of North San Juan will present motion pictures at the North San Juan schoolhouse, 8 p.m. Tuesday, August 2. No admission will be charged, but you can put what you like into the collection box. HOUSE REJECTS BRANNAN PLAN The so-called Brannan plan took .a terrific licking in the house last week. The entire Brannan plan was not before congress but a “trial run” was under consideration on three commodities, potatoes, eggs and shorn wool. Most members could not see any good reason for experimenting with part of a program they were against. There were three propositions before the house. First, the Aiken law passed in the last hours of the 80th congress which ‘would take effect unless something was done before Jan. 5,’ 1950.--The principal objection to this law was that it provides a flexible farm price support system ranging from 60 per cent to 90 per cent of parity. Its opponents said that you could not support the roof of a house with flexible 2x4’s. Further, they complained it gave too much power to the Secretary of Agriculture. Secondly, we had the present law which calls for support at 90 per cent of parity. Exhibit A against this law is the potato fiasco which has cost the American taxpayer about $425,000,000. The present law will end Jan. 1 and ‘the’ Aiken law substitute unless something is done by congress. FARM GROUPS OPPOSE PROGRAM The third proposition was the so-called “trial run” of the Brannan plan. The basic principle of the Brannan plan differs from the present law in this respect: Under the present law farm prices are supported in the open market by government purchases and loans while under the Brannan plan the prices would not be supported but -would be permitted to fall to whatever level the market would bring and then the government would pay direct to the farmer the difference between the price received by the producer and what the government thought the producer ought to get, arrived at according to a formula. In short, if you sold a dozen eggs you would .get a receipt from the purchaser showing the purchase prcie and then take the receipt to a government agency and get the difference i between what you were paid and Washington Notes By Congressman Clair Engle what the Brannan program called for. Many of the farm representatives were afraid of this program because farm prices would drop, consumers would get used to low prices, and then if the government got into financial trouble (and it appears that it may) and couldn’t appropriate the money the farmer would be stuck. Moreover, the consumer would be used to very low prices and vigorously resist any readjustment. PRESENT PLAN EXTENDED The Gore amendment which was adopted by the house Prez . posed to extend the present system for another year in order to give further study to what should be done about the dilemma. Gore’s amendment was vigorously supported by practically all of the Republicans and a large number of Democrats, largely those from the south and from northern rural areas. The Democratic opposition in this instance was not confined to the so-called Dixiecrats but included a good many others .who ‘normally .go. . along wtih the Administration’s program. Most Democrats on the agricultural committee supported the -Brannan proposal and most of the rest of the votes for it came from the metropolitan Democrats who saw a chance to get lower ,. consumer prices for the city people they. represent. PROBLEM STILL CONFRONTS CONGRESS For a good many of us the present action of the house, if followed by senate action, will not be a final solution of the problem. The present program has worked quite badly in some instances, notably potatoes and eggs. However, the potato program will be in better shape this year because the government_has learned more about. controlling production. Heretofore acreage controls have been put into efATHLETES FOOT ITCH NOT HARD TO KILL IN ONE. HOUR. If not pleased, your 40c back at any drug store.

Good service for you comes from telephone people who know their jobs. You can help them serve you best by making sure you always have the right number in mind. before calling, leaving a little time between calls, giving the called person time to answer, 2.

All through her training she’ll see how operators make courtesy and helpfulness a normal part ot their jobs. And the same spirit is present as other telephone people learn their new skills. 3. On-the-job-training here in the West is typified by this “student” who is learning the workings of a trouble indicator frame—an automatic detective that constantly makes sure the lines,on its “beat” are giving good service. Even experienced employees take refresher courses like this to keep up-to-date . . and keep learning their way up the ladder. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company ‘Vow tlenhane o ona Ol { . biggest bargains fect and the farmers planted their rows closer together and fertilized and raised more potatoes than ever. With experience, the production controls are working better. However, the basic thing the farmer will have to realize is that government subsidies and government control are Siamese twins. When the government supports a price by subsidies, whether it is done under the present formula or the Brannan formula, there is going to be rigid government control on production. An additional criticism of the present ¢ system is that by and large it makes no provision for perishables. Some of us think that crops which are as basic in Caljfornia as wheat and corn is to the middle west and cotton is to the south are just as much entitled to government price sup-ports as the producers of those present so-called basic commodities. We are a long way from having arrived at a permanent farm program. The action last week in the house only puts off the day when we have to make a decision as to what the program will finally be.
