With the sale of The News, this is the last and final editorial of the present editor. And no doubt some of our readers will give a sigh of relief no more of my yakking to read no more ribbing to endure no more political jabber to peruse! This "Just Braggin'" column began way back in the 30's, and nigh every week since my pen has ran the gamut of many subjects and many projects.

As recollect, my first "battle" was working for the defeat of the late Dr. H. E. Cay wood in his bid for the town mayor job back in 1934. I yelped steadily and vociferously for Les Rowe to be chosen for the job and begorra he got it by a comfortable margin of votes.

Next I yipped for a new fire truck for the town, and with the help of the late Councilman John Linder, the city dads bought it. Other projects I worked for (as I recollect them) were: The addition to the city park- A farm means responsibilities. The proper protection of that farm buildings, equipment, livestock, personal effects is one of those responsibilities We'd, like to give you a hand with planning complete farm, insurance protection in one up-to-date program that can save you confusion and money.

And in every one of these projects there were numbers of folks whose toes I tramped on, with the result that in the combination of projects, I have lost the affection of a lot of people I at one time called "my friends" people who hold to the idea that to be their friend, I had to have the same opinions and beliefs as they! Thus, even a blind man can see it is high time I'm fading out of the picture as an editor in this town! Regardless of how these people feel towards me, I still have strong sentiments about the town and community and after thirty-one years in business here, I cannot turn off these sentiments as one might turn off a water faucet. I shall, for the first time, become a subscriber to The News, and I hope to read of the continued progress and prosperity of the town and community. The differences among the citizens are to be expected-- and should be but they can be ironed out to the mutual benefit of all! This is a fine community and it will continue to be thus if everyone will lay aside their petty selfish interests for the common good of all! If you have perused this drivel thus far, you can now give a sigh of relief-- I'm through-- finished written my iast paragraph in this column -FAREWELL-- and good luck to you even to those whose support and respect I've lost! I trust you will be as tolerant of the editor! T. Milan Bragg DIAMOND LAKE Latest from West Coast Lumber mills, quote high and advancing prices.

Voss, Adm. Phone 4091 Park TRAIN YOU AND YOUR ANIMAL PRIOR TO FAIR TIME The best recommendation that can be made for prospective fair exhibitors is to prepare both yourself and your animals in advance, county Extension Trainee Mile Fowler says. Fowler says you shouldn't expect to teach animals everything in one or two days. While they are still at home, however, try to present conditions which wiH be encountered at the fair. Sxvine should be washed, closely confined and taught to drive because this is what will happen in preparation to exhibiting.

Beef and dairy cattle should be washed, brushed and led. They should also become accustomed to being tied for lengths of time. Sheep are usually confined in small pens and are shown by holding. Handle them occasionally so they become used to such practices. Don't fill the animals full of feed before loading and taking them, to the fair ground.

Of these, or more were blue-wing teal Other waterfowl banded included coot, pintail, mallard, wood duck, redhead, ruddy duck, green-wing teal, and ringneck.

Wood duck production also appeared high with most other species average. Coot production this year is greatly reduced to the lack of emergent vegetation on many marshes.

Don't risk injury to animals by attempting to load them with inadequate facilities. Partition animals' of different species and sizes if they are to be transported in the truck. Wet sand is recommended as bedding for trucks. It will help cool the animals. Take a supply of feed along so that the ration will not need to be changed for the animals.

Use a little common sense in the amount of feed required. Don't take more feed than the animals will need. If bedding is not supplied at thfi fair, take clean, bright straw. It helps the appearance of your exhibit. Swine should be bedded lightly, especially during hot weather.

After arrival at the fair, put animals in their pens and feed them lightly. Allow them to rest and recover from the trip. Watch them to see that they become adjusted to their new surroundings. While at the fair, keep animals and the immediate vicinity of your exhibit clean and free of obstacles. In moving your animals, give them a little extra time they also like to look around.

Have your animals ready for showing and on time when your class is called. If you prepared adequately before you go to the show ring, you and your animals will make a much better impression whether you win or lose.
