Kennedy To Reveal Crop Plans WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Agriculture Orville J. Freeman said today the Kennedy administration expects to important decisions this week on 1961 crop programs affecting ton and livestock feed grains. 'The action regarding cotton will be an announcement of the ralei at which the cotton crop will be supported. The decision affecting feed grains is expected to outline a land retirement program for corn, sorghum grains, oats, barley and rye designed to cut down on mounting production of these grains. Coupled with it may be plans to increase price supports for the grains to offset, in grower incomes, the effect of the contemplated reduction in production.

Congress would have to such an increase. The feed grain program may carry with it an announcement of a considerable boost in supports for soybeans. This would a be designed to encourage some feed grain growers to divert grain land to soybeans. A bigger demand for soybeans is expected under the government's recently announced program to donate large supplies of soybean and other vegetable oils to charitable organizations helping the needy abroad.

'Best Dressed' Washington Devore believes the President's greatest sartorial influence will be where it's "needed most-on the youth." many of the young people reduced casualness to slop piness," Devore said.

May Organize Association For Baseball Plans are being discussed to have all boys' baseball leagues in Freeport this summer under the jurisdiction of an organization to be' known as the Freeport Youth Baseball Association.

John Reid, president, and Ed Tegl, treasurer, of the Freeport Babe Ruth League were present at the Tuesday night mecting of the Freeport Park District Board of Commissioners meeting to discuss the idea. The Babe Ruth League is planning to expand from six teams to eight this summer to handle what is believed to be a record number from the Little League. But still, Reid fears that some boys may be turned away unless something is done. Coordinate Program The association, if it becomes a reality, would be made up of representatives from the Little Lcague, Babe Ruth and various other Freeport baseball teams and Quayle representing the Park Board. Its primary objective! would be to coordinate a program to handle the anticipated large turnout this summer.

Also, it would set up practice schedules for the many teams and act in an advisory capacity for the leagues. Quayle is high on the idea. He said be had a similar setup at Kewanee that met with a great deal of success. He added that he has been attending meetings of the various leagues to get the program underway. Reid Favors Plan Reid also is in favor of the new association.

He feels it would eliminate many problems that arise over the use of a diamond for practice. The Little League, Babe Ruth and other circuits that would come under the program would still retain their officers and handle their own finances. The association would try to help the leagues iron out whatever problems might arise. Quayle said if the idea goes through, the association would get a charter, The Babe Ruth League has other meeting scheduled an- for Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Read Park Pavilion to discuss the idea further.

In a copyrighted story, the 'Rough Draft' Of Budget Presented To Park Board A "rough draft" of the budget, for the next fiscal year of the Freeport Park District was presented to the Board of sioners Tuesday night following the regular monthly meeling in the Read Park Pavilion. Park Superintendent James Quayle asked each commissioner to review the outline of expenses to operate the Park District from June 1, 1961 until May 31, 1962. The budget was not discussed during the meeting, but Quayle gave board members the "rough drafts" so they would have lime to study it before the actual ald News of Passaic-Clifton said the attractive 29-year-old widow was married Tuesday to Joseph F.

"There, are no additions," Quayle said, "it just covers what we already have." Need Museum Budget Before the actual work on the costs of operations begins, the board still needs a budget from the Stephenson County Historical Museum.

The Park Board is responsible for the upkeep of the buildings and grounds at the seum and needs a draft of its anticipated expenses before starting work on its own budget. Board president Milo Adleman, announced that a survey of buildling in the Park District and the insurance coverage on each had been completed and it revealed "things are in a sorry state." Commissioners Ross Hepner and Harry Hoyman were on the committee in charge along with Quayle. The committee will meet with insurance company representatives to arrive at what has to be done to bring the program up to date. Then a special meeting of the board will be called to act upon the program. mittee to do the ground work would be better for the comer fore the insurance plan is presented to the board as a Adleman said.

Skating Causes Increase Tuesday night's meeting, which started a half hour earlier tr.an usual at 7 p.m., was over shortly before 9 o'clock. The majority of the meeting was spent in discussion of routine matters. One point the board dwelt on longer than usual was increase in the secretary-treasurer's report for January under costs of labor and maintaining the ice skating program compared to the same month last year. Hugh Ashby, urer of the board, explained January this year had five paydays while the same month last year had only four. Quayle pointed out the rise in the cost of the skating program was because of just under 50 days of skating compared to less than half that number at the same time last year.

"As a result," Quayle said, "the labor cost was up because we had men working overtime to keep the ice in shape." Adleman stressed he was not unhappy about the increase, but wanted to point out to the board that more money is being spent this year to provide better recreational facilities for the district. "As long as the money is spent for recreation, we're doing the job," the board president added. Golf Course Overdrawn The report, showing a balance of $14,468.09 on hand as of Jan. 31, was finally approved. Ashby's report also showed that Park Hills Municipal Golf Course was $96.72 overdrawn, and $1,000 had been transferred from the district funds to the golf course "to tide it over until the season opens." Joc Gentz, Park Hills pro-manager.

in his regular report to the board, said fertilizer for the fairways should be ordered soon, so it can be spread while weather conditions are favorable. He also suggested purchasing a spreader, but the board felt it might be better to hire a firm to spread the 40 tons of fertilizer rather than spend the $695 for a new spreader. Gentz pointed out it was a piece of equipment that could be used for many years and might be a wise investment. May Encounter Trouble But, after a short discussion, Gentz was instructed to investigate the possibility of hiring a firm before the board took any action on a new spreader. The pro-manager said that most firms have heavy equipment and could not get on the course once it began to thaw.

The fertilizer that will be used this year is one that is supposed to last for a period of time raththan giving the grass a quick start, Gentz explained. Also concerning the golf course, Quayle and Gentz will start work soon on a new scorecard since U.S. Golf Association rules have been changed over the winter. A suggestion to have the weekday afternoon rate restored to 75 cents for nine holes was tabled. The board set up a new rates for play al Park Hills at their last meeting.

Hose Replacement Program Quayle told the board that hose replacement program should be starled at the golf course since all the hose was purchased at one time and will start to go bad at the same time. Adleman suggested wells be dug near the greens so the hose could be stored underground when not in use, He said this might lengthen the life of the hose. Quayle, in his report, said the re-wiring of the picnic areas at Krape Park has been completed and lights on several of the buildings have been replaced. He also said skating may be over for the season because of the warmer weather. Krape Park has had 45 days of skating this year and Taylor Park 49 days.

The auditor's report was unanimously approved and bills totaling $2,246.16 were ordered paid. Quayle will altend the regional meeting of the Illinois Parks Association in Chicago March 17-19. Present at the meeling were: Adleman, Hepner, Hoyman, Gentz, Quayle, Ashby and conimissioners Art Haas and George Kloos..
