Ii would have authorized the secretary of the agriculture to borrow from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation 25 mililon dollars for the purpose of setting up a conservative program, and protect our forests, our streams and our land. provided that an operator who voluntarily wished to come under the program would first log selectively and, after the first cutting. the TT.

Miss Edith Johnson and Orville Walker of Marquette, assistant 4- Club leaders in the Upper Peninsula, superintendents of the exhibit reported yesterday that exhibits were overflowing the space and more were still coming in.

It had suspended further action on all 53 of the pending transactions after a house investigating committee questioned the disposai of the Thunderbird Airport in Arizona to a newly-formed school. This transaction continues to be held up pending completion of the congressional inquiry, but the order on all the others, was removed. The justice department upheld the procedure on twr points: 1. It held that sales discounts of as much as 100 percent, making the property in effect a gift, are authorized in cases where the WAA finds that the United States will receive corresponding benefits.

2. It held that beneficiaries of such sales are not limited to institutions which were in existence before the act was passed Oct. 3, 1944, but that institutions certified by the Bureau of Internal Revenue to be nonprofit educational institutions exempt from also may benefit. grandstand.

The girls have an achievement booth at the exhibition building, and there the girls must be present on Thursday to meet the judges for an interview.

4-H Club girls who have entered in the achievement booth contest today will serve in explaining to the public an exhibit by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Delta 4-H Club garden club members have made an impressive showing at the fair this year, according to Ben Westrate, county 4-H agent.
