It is the annual Pontotoc County Junior Livestock Show. The show actually begins Sunday. Animals are checked in, then weighed and then go into on-foot showing. The climax of the show for most youngsters comes on the night of Feb.

20. That is the annual sale. It gets under way at 7:30 p.m. in the livestock pavilion. Only the top order of the animals will be sold, steers and swine.

But even after the sale, the final champion will not be known until carcass evaluations are complete. The final champions will be determined by efficiency of feed aversion, by on-foot placement and then by carcass evaluation. This is the fifth year for the popular competition and the show has grown steadily each year. A great many people are involved in making it a success. There are the staff members of the extension service.

There are the members of the Pontotoc Fair Board. The members of the Ada Rotary Club provide cro- phies. The Pontotoc County Cattlemen's Association is the over-all sponsoring agency. Members help prepare facilities for the sale and also help provide incentive premiums to exhibitors and winners in the on-foot showing. Finally, there is the 200 Club.

This organization has one basic function. It solicits money and that money is used to "sweeten" the premium pot at the sale. Finally, there is the Achievement Banquet. It is programmed March 3 at the Extension Center. Tickets are $5 and that may sound a little steep until you realize that most of the ticket proceeds go to help with expenses of the show and competition.

Finally, you have all the young people who are entering animals. And they are really involved in the show and sale. They have been pointing toward it for months. They began when they selected stock for the competition "and things really got serious when animals came in early last fall for official weighing. Since then there has'been the daily regimen of care and feeding and preparation for the show.

A great many people are already involved. But more people still are needed. The on-foot competition and the sale are worthwhile events. But, they will fall flat, especially the sale, if there is no crowd. We're not talking about the auctioneers and the people who will actually bid on the cattle.

They'll be there. We're talking about all the rest. We're talking about people who make it a point to come out. By their very presence they can help. They can build an atmosphere of interest, enthusiasm and support.

By their very presence they can demonstrate they tare what these boys and girls are doing. By attending, they can demonstrate they believe what they are doing is important. There's something else. If you're interested in livestock in form, shape or fashion, you'll probably learn something. You can learn something at the on-foot competition and at the sale.

You can see purebred stock and you will certainly see a great many crossbreeds. In these animals, you'll see the end product of months of dedicated activity. You'll see the pride these young exhibitors take in their animals. You'll appreciate the work they represent and you'll ap- laud the responsibility they have shown. It's no easy job to fit an animal for a sale.

Once started, if you are going all the way, there is no stopping. These young people feel they have been involved in something important. And, thev have. The Family Lawyer To help its employees get around the premises, a large company kept a supply of bicycles available at all times. But all the bicycles were men's.

Women workers finally went to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with a charge of "discrimination on the basis of sex." At the hearing, they pointed out that men's bicycles were just not suitable for es-j pecially since they were also forbidden to wear slacks. This impressed the Commission, which duly upheld their complaint. The bicycle case is typical of the wide variety of issues that have arisen under famed Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Women have also complained --almost always with s--about hiring practices, dress codes, height requirements, smoking privileges, hours of work, and sen- ioritv rules. "Title t-: Seven" said one court, "rejects the notion of romantic paternalism toward women and seeks to place them on an equal footing with men.

Nevertheless, Title Seven does not apply to hardship situations that are not based on discrimination between the sexes. Take this case: A saleswoman accused her department manager of violating Title Seven by delibtrately making her life miserable. She said he made fun of her, gave her hard assignments, and bawled her out viciously. It turned out, however, that her fellow men in the same department had the same tale of woe. Since male and female employees were being treattd with equal harshness, the Commission decided to turn down the woman's complaint.

The Commission said she had not proven a violation of Title Seven, but merely that the department manager was a very nasty fellow. Sleep has become something that soothes and haunts mankind. Strange that such a big part of the time of our lives should have two faces. Some persons dread that moment of stretching themselves upon the bed. The dread itself has more than one fearful aspect.

Again it is fear. One person may simply fear that he cannot sleep, and the night becomes a dreaded experience of straining for sleep that does not come. Another may fear that sleep that comes will being with it unwanted experiences. These may be frightful dreams; they may be the fear of catastrophe upon ourselves or some loved one. The subject of sleep has ap- pealed to men of all ages.

Poetry, drama, and prose have touched upon it. In our time, science has found sleep of vast importance in the health of humankind. It is involved in that endless interplay of mind and body. Apparently, man of this hour needs from sleep regularly something quite different from what ancient man required. II apparently is generally agreed that the simplest function of sleep for the body is rest from physical exertion.

Ancient men knew little if anything about what happened as he slept. The complex chemical changes in muscle tissue and rebuilding -only partly understood even today were not the concern of the man from whom we descended. Neither was it the concern of the hard-working, and sometimes hard-fighting, frontiersman. Sleep made its demands cf the exhausted body. The dark of night made the sleep come easily when man required it.

Thinking is hard work. There is no question about it. Neither, on the other hand, is there any doubt that growing tired from 'thinking is the same thing as fatigue from physical strain. Both functions can, as we say, take a lot out of you," but they don't do it the same way. Sleep is affected differently also.

A man who has chopped wood all day. repaired fences, or ridden in the saddle, may sink into the deep sleep of a man whose body demands the rest of sleep. He cannot avoid it. On the other hand, the man or woman who goes home from the office may "feel tired." This person is spent in one sense of the word, and wishes for sleep. For him or her sleep means shedding the cares, the routine, the drudgery, in the hope of a new day that holds more promise.

In this case, the body may not exhibit the complex symptoms, or the simple ones, of physical exhaustion. The feeling is somewhere else centered. This is the condition that ma ny experts single out as one that is particularly helped by mild exercise. Some gentle calisthenics and some rapid walking, they advise, gives the body what it needs for relaxation and sleep. Perhaps in the reference to death by the euphemism "sleep" we have built in both the fear and welcoming of sleep.

In the 14th century, the English poet Geoffrey Chaucer spoke to sleep thus: Morpheus, Thou knowest hym wcl, the god of slep." Much as sleep is desired, much as it is depended upon by the modern man, its excesses draw comments also. The man who spends too much time upon his couch is considered slothful. We have taught for centuries the value of work and production. The person, therefore, who spends too much time in bed is considered undependable. We think of him traditionally as one whose attitude deteriorates as he gives way to idleness and loses grip on life.

Strangely, modern science has some evidence that such may be true to some degree. For example, our need of sleep is not as great as our habit of sleep. There are numerous examples of people going literally days without sleep without harmful effect. Sleep for a night seems sufficient for catching up. Perhaps from Shakespeare we learned the expecting of so much from sleep.

Macbeth in his agony could find neither sleep nor rest for his soul. "Methought I heard a voice cry, 'Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the ra- ivell'd sleave of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's ik BY CONNIE NELSON The Better Road Trav'ler do not be discouraged; See, the day is just ahead: One who passed this way before you, Knows full well the way you tread. Press on bravely climbing higher, Though the path be rough and steep; Ever forward, ever upward Time ior action not for sleep! 'Tis the road that leads to glory, Honor, riches, length of days. What a recompense for walking In this way of joy and praise. Watch the enemies around you, Ever keep truth's armor bright; Buckle on Faith's shield and breastplate Tried and true for Christian's fight.

Fear thou not this road to travel, Let not bar thy onward way; Brighter grows the path before you, Leading on to perfect day. Guard against all burning bypaths, Pray and watch in Godly fear; Soon the journey will be over; Signs fortell the end is near. Then the watching will be over, For the garden now is won.

Could it be because so many things that used to be considered crazy are now quite common? Women can drive cars just as well as men, which when you come to think of it, isn't such a great achievement. A tightfisted man doesn't have many friends. Also, he is less likely to need them. "Say, Dad, how soon will I be old enough to do as I please?" "I don't know, son, nobody ever lived that long." "Do you suppose all she says is true?" "No, there isn't that much truth in the world." Beware of those who fall at your feet. They may be reaching for the corner of the rug.

He is not counselling them to sit back passively and let God do it all. What he is trying to communicate to them is that when they have done their best, when jthey have exerted their "might" and "power." it is still the Spir- 'it of God that makes the difference, that can turn defeat into victory, failure into success.

What I need to learn is what they resisted learning: that when we have used all our God- given "might" and "power," we must put it in God's hands and trust him to do even more than we ask.

Pa and Ma had worked all their lives to scratch out a meager living on their little farm up in the hills. When they reached age 65 they decided to retire and take their social security.

They purchased a new station wagon for over It was loaded with all the extras, even down to the beautiful metal on the sides that looked like wood.

Americans Can Expect To Pay More For Coffee Soon RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Brazil has abandoned its faith in the dollar and as a result Americans can expect to pay a bit more for their coffee. In a showing of economic independence, Latin America's biggest country upped the value of its currency, the cruzeiro, by 3 per cent Tuesday night, to offset the devaluation of the dollar. On Monday, a U.S.

tourist in Brazil would have gotten 6.18 cruzeiros for each dollar he exchanged. Today he got 5.99 This means Brazilian coffee -often used as a base in American blends probably will cost a little more in U.S. supermarkets. Deaths MELVIN L. ODOM, 69, Ada resident, died Feb.
