PAGE SIX THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENING SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1963 All-Out National Effort Still Needed in Viet Nam true Life Adventures SECONO SHIFT By Phil Npwsom I'PI Foreign News Analyst Despite determined official optimism, an undertone of disquiet runs through news dispatches from Southeast Asia where in the last eight years the United States has invested so much. In South Viet Nam, the young generals who took over after the overthrow of the Ngo Dinh Diem government, are pursuing the war against the Communist Viet Cong with greater vigor. Out of 17.500 American troops in South Viet Nam. 1.000 are expected home in time for the new year. Beautiful and sophisticated Saigon has regained its gaiety, the bistros are filled, though guarded against a surprise Communist grenade, and tiny Vietnamese women in their bright silken garments pedal through the city's tree lined streets.

It's as if. beginning at the city's outskirts, there were no war. And that perhaps is the source of some of the disquiet, The Diem regime, in its own way. also fought hard against the Communists but failed to win the people. After the harsh rule of Diem and his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu.

in Saigon a least, the new military regime has the people's support. But whether that support can be translated into an all out national effort against the Viet Cong is another matter. More and more it is being recalled that in their 10 year effort to hold Indo China, the French won every battle but the last one. And the United States' own experience in Laos and in South Viet Nam all too often has seemed to demonstrate that only the disciplined and indoctrinated Communists feel a real reason to fight, and that a national will is lacking. In the end, neither aid nor military success will win the battle for Southeast Asia without accompanying political and psychological determination of the people themselves.

i And that is the field in which the new military regime must prove itself. Other events give reason disquiet over the future of Southeast Asia. i In Pnompenh, capital of a bodia, 200 American advis- ers are getting out on orders of Cambodia's elected chief of- i state Prince Norodom Sihanouk who has cancelled the American aid program which has been running at S30 million a year. Sihanouk believes the war: against the Viet Cong already' i is lost and that he must prepare his country for a neutrality acceptable to Red China. In neighboring Laos, pro- Communist forces control two- thirds of the country, i In Vientiane, its capital, the fifth political assassination of a government official this year demonstrated that the country i still is far from achieving the neutrality decreed for it by the major powers at Geneva.

The news is not all bad. The I Communists are suffering los- i ses and the cost of aiding the Communist effort in the South is weighing heavily upon the Reds in North Viet Nam. President Johnson has reaffirmed that the United States will continue its efforts in South Viet Nam. It is a decision which may have to be reaf- firmed again and again in the years ahead. crises THE Walt UisKey Production, vf TX.

world Right. Kowrved THINKS THSV HAWE 1 HE XX THE Ottawa County Farm News By Richard Machiele Ottawa County Extension Director It certainly seems good to be back in Ottawa County, and on the job after spending three weeks at the U.S. Food Fair Exposition and Symposium at Amsterdam. We had a real enjoyable time, along with the Van Timmeren and Patmos families. All of us had a real opportunity to visit with the people of the Netherlands about our way of life, and their way of life; how our farms are operated, and how their farms are operated.

This was the purpose of sending all of us from Ottawa County to Amsterdam. A total of 125,000 people came past our booth and we were busy every minute while there, without too many breaks. We found the problems of the Dutch farmers were the same as problems of American farmers they fight weather, bugs, plant diseases and farm prices. The most serious problem for the Netherlands farmer is the decreasing net income for his farm products. This is the No.

1 problem in America too. We found Dutch farms less highly mechanized, this is understandable as the size of farms in the Netherlands does not warrant the expenditure for farm machinery. However, the productivity of the Dutch farm matches ours, if it does not exceed ours, in many instances. Another observation made is that the technical information the Dutch farmer has. in most cases, exceeds that available to the American farm- er.

We were happy to have the opportunity of going to the Exposition and I believe we accomplished what the U.S. Department of Agriculture expected of us, which was to meet these people and visit with them about American agriculture. Recently we found an interesting study on the cost of producing 100 Ibs. of milk. This includes the entire cost in a 40 cow averaging 12,000 pounds of milk per cow.

Including feed, labor, depreciation, interest and housing expense the figure we come up with is S4.29. This is the actual cost of producing 100 pounds of milk. With milk prices ranging as they have in the past year we know dairy farmers are not striking it rich. The consumer so often figures the 20 to 24c paid per quart of milk goes entirely to the farmer. This certainly is a misconception.

Last month's figures show the adjusted blend price for milk in the Muskegon-Holland-Zeeland area was $4.13 per 100 pounds. This means milk last month was sold below production cost. For anyone interested in seeing the figures in this study, we have a complete breakdown at our oiffce and will be glad to have you look at it. Usually there are not as many animals exhibited as the show people would like. The Ottawa Co.

Junior Livestock feeding contest is again started. We have a number of i 4-H and FFA members enrolled, Some are feeding a pen of hogs, others are feeding common steers and heifers. No date has been set for the termination I of the project but' we assume it will be early in March. There I is still time for 4-H Club mem- bers wanting to feed a pen of hogs to enter the contest. Please contact either the Zeeland or Grand Haven offices if you are 1 interested.

$6 Million Set Aside For Highways LANSING (UPI)-More than $6 million has been set aside for keeping Michigan's highway clear of snow and ice this winter, it was reported today. Highway Commissioner John C. Mackie said all told the cost is relatively low. "This cost is small compared to the economic losses to the state if the roads weren't kept open," he said. The highway department is all ready for the onslaught of winter.

Dozens of garages throughout the state house more than 1,000 pieces of snow removal equipment, and 70,000 tons of salt are already stockpiled. Department officials are looking forward to a heavy winter based on the fact that precipitation is about eight inches less than normal. Last winter, when snowfall was heavy but was less than that recorded in 1961, the department used almost 140.000 tons of salt on the state highways. Mackie's statement about economic losses was based largely on the growth of Michigan's winter resort industry. There will be 85 winter sports areas in operation this year, according to tourist council officials.

"To continue to attract winter sportsmen from both Michigan and other states, we must guarantee that they can reach their favorite sports area," the commissioner said. "A permanent supply of snow makes a paradise for skiers as long as it is not on the highways."

Ford said if the current pace continued, total 1963 sales would be about six per cent higher than 1962 sales. B.F.Goodrich B.F.
