S, four to eight weeks of
I age, in Texas, Arkansas and the
[Df!m;trva area. Up to 20 per cent
I of the birds in affected flocks
j have had the disease. However.
' "'orta'.ity, reported in field cases,
has been tow.
j the atfected birds become
jweak, depressed and tend to as-
sume a sitting position. When
forced to waik, the gait is wobbly
jO! stilted. Feathers become
.roughened, especially on thg head
j and neck. The eomb shrinks in
sixo. may fait over and becomes
pate or dark purptish-red in
color. A green diirrhca ts usuaily
icvident and wetght is rapidly tost.
!tn experimcntatty infected birds in
(- to 7 days, enlargement of the
ihock. foot and keel bursa are
j easily noted. Birds continue to eat
; until shortly before death which
jransc with the test birds in from
I two to three weeks.
Post mortem usualty shows ex-
treme thin fleshing and dehydra-
tion. The affected joints and ten-
don sheaths of the hocks, feet and
wings contains a thick creamy
fluid and the liver and spteen arc
usually enlarged and congested.
Exposure by oral, ocular and
respiratory routes failed to pro-
duce the disease within a 3-weck
period and transmission by direct
contact has not been observed in
the experiments. Inoculations were
used to transmit the disease.
CIVIL DEFENSE
Acting on the assumption that
any Soviet atomic attack would be
aimed at "substantiatlv" destroy-
ing 92 principal cities in this
county, Civit Defense officials
have announced that by July 1.
1953, it should be possible to give
at least one hour advance warn-
ing of an enemy strike. At present,
cities can expect no more than
twenty minutes warning.
The hot, dry weather is taking
its totl of pasture grasses here in
Cherokee County Soil Conserva-
tion District. A recent study of a
number of pastures reveals the
fact that properly managed pas-
tures are suffering much [ess than
overgrazed pastures. For an ex-
ample, on one over stocked pas-
ture with a thin cover of grass
less than two inches high, the
soils temperature was 97 degrees
at 10 a.m. and 105 degrees at 2
p. m. On pasture where the grass
was from 4 to 6 inchcs high, the
temperature was 90 degrees at
10 a. m. and 95 degrees at 2 p. m.
When the soil temperature goes
up. the loss of soil moisture in-
cro;i es. High soil temperature al-
so destroys organic matter and
vatuable bacteria.
E. B. McKamey, a member of
the Troup Conservation Group is
making progress in building pas-
tures. He started two years ago
rebuilding a worn out farm into
an improved pasture. His first
job <was to clear the brush and
level the land. This operation was
followed with fertilizer and at
legume cover crop. Eighty ncres
were seeded last fall to vetch and
crimson clover. Bermuda grass is
preading following these MM
building crops. McKamey is in
the process of mowing this pas-
ture to control weeds.
Frank Young of Jacksonville is
making arrangements to harvest
Hubam clover seed in July.

sonnel have recentty assisted the
following men construct farm
ponds: George Northcutt, W. P.

Today, the United States Air
Force took over operational con-
trol of its own Recruiting Service.
The Air Force Organization given
the responsibility of handling this
king-sized task has been desig-
nated the 3500th USAF Recruit-
ing Wing, Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. Briga-
dier General Arno H. Luehman,
former Air Force Public Infor-
mation Deputy, has been named
commander.
Since 1947, when the Atr Force
and the Army became two sep-
arate organizations. Army and Air
Force recruiting was accomplished
by a joint effort. However, due to
the tremendous defense build up,}
in particular, the Air Force, plusi
prevailing wortd conditions, the
Secretary of Defense recently
signed a bill giving the Air Force
and the Army separate control of
their respective recruiting ma-
chinery. This move was made in
an effort to give each line of de-
fense more efficient and economi-
cal control of their individual re-
cruiting needs, resulting in more
proteation per defense dollar.
Due to the tremendous emphasis
put on air power, manning the
nations first line of defense is no
minormatter. In fact, the United
States Air Force is now America's
largest business. Thousands of
young men will be needed in the
coming year to meet Air Forcc
personnel requirements.
Dayton, Ohio was selected to
host this new organization because
of its central geographical loca-
tion and communication facilities.
An all-out effort is being made
by Air Force Recruiters atl over
America to acquaint the general
public with their Air Force, its
missions and career opportuni-
ties.
The nearest Recruiting Office is
located at Palestine, Tex-as in the
Post Office Building.
Master Sergeant Preston L.
Denman, Air Force Recruiter
from Palestine, will be in Alto
each Wednesday afternoon from
2:30 to 3.30 o'clock to give infor-
mation regarding the Air Force
and acce<pt qualified applicants for
regular enlistments, Aviation Ca-
dets and the Women's Air Force.

What Is Truth?
Joe F. Gay
I have before me a picture
printed on a plain card in black
and white. Beside this picture
there are directions that if one
wit! look at the picture constantly
for thirty seconds, that wherever
he looks he can see the picture
transposed on the sky or whatever
other surface he looks on. This is
an optical illusion, but in it is great
spiritual lesson. We can look so
closely at our own opinions and
preconceived notions, that even in
the light of plain truth, we can
see nothing but our own idea.
This is very dangerous and may
lead to our own destruction and
the destruction of those who follow
us as exampies.
The proper relationship between
God and man has always been
brought about by the education of
man. "How shall they call upon
Him in whom they have not be-
lieved, and how shall they believe
except they hear."—Romans 10:14.
Again in Hebrews 11: 6. we
find that "Without faith it is im-
possible to please God." Then, in
Romans 10: 17, we find that "Faith
cometh by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God."
Summing up these passages we
have: We can neither come to God
nor ptease Him except we have
faith, and we can not obtain faith
except by hearing the word of
God. Therefore we owe it to our-
setves to take advantage of every
opportunity to study the word of
God. By studying these passages,
we can understand what our
Saviour meant when He said, "Ye
shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free."
The religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ is a taught religion. To
come unto Him. we must learn of
Him. Wc must learn of His life of
obedience so that He can be our
example. Wc must learn of His
commandments so that we can
prove our love to Him. (John 14:
23). In order to learn of Him we
must get away from ourselves and
search His truth with an open re-
ceptive mind.
Come and study the Bible with
us and let us both determine
What Is Truth.
Our services are held each
Lord's Day at the City Hal) at the
following times: Bible Study 10:00
a. m.; Preaching and Communion
at 11:00 a m.; Singing at 2:30 p.m.
and Preaching at 3:00 p. m.
The Church of Christ
Alto, Texas.
One reason why so many of us
fail to get rich is that we run from
jhard work tike it might be a
'plague.

You wiH notice the difference
immediately when you cook
electrically. Your kitchen won't
become as unbearably hot this
summer because the heat from
the electric range goes right
into the cooking... not into the
kitchen. Well insulated ovens
keep heat in, too. Electric cook-
ing is clean, quick, automatic
and cheap with low electric rates.
