COME AND JOIN THE FUN Les Last Friday's fire caused quite bit of confusion for many, as threatening skies sent many to their caves and cellars and caused a few complaints because some thought the whistle blew long enough to be a tornado warning. The whistle did go up and down however, and if a person would have given a second thought, they would have realized that. I was one who never gave it a second thought and our family spent about a half hour in the basement before I checked and found out it was a fire. I have had several people ask me to put something in the paper concerning people jumping in cars at the sound of a warning and driving like crazy out of town.

Now I don't know what they want me to say exactly, because everyone reacts differently and those with a real fear of storms probably are not the most careful drivers at that moment. All I can say is people should remember they are not the only ones who are hurrying in their cars and they should be more careful than ever. Each person has a different view on where is the safest place and I for one, beliest a shelter is the safest. After all, besides being safe from the storm, you're also safe from the traffic. On this page is a box on whistle warnings which should be cut out and saved.

The next time the whistle blows, let's all take time to listen and make sure which it is a fire or a storm warning.

Greenspan May Help Beautification Your city could qualify for a Greenspan grant of money to help buy cropland for a park or other public use, Pete Weinrich, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee pointed out. Greenspan so called because of its potential for making green. space available to urban residents is a new way to take cropland out of agricultural production and -convert it to open space, public recreation, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, or uses that control air or water pollution. It is a part of the new Cropland Adjustment Program, authorized by legislation enacted by the Congress last year, under which farmers shift acres out of certain crops while retaining title to the land. Communities buying cropland may receive financial help under the program similar to that farmers receive under long-term CAP agreements.

Under Greenspan, the Secretary of Agriculture may transfer funds to any State or local government in amounts figured at the same rate as would have been used had the land remained in the hands of the farmer, and not exceeding 50 percent of the cost of the land. Since conservation is an important goal of Greenspan, assistance is also available to help install needed conservation practices on such land in much the same way -as the cost sharing available on private farm land. Projects for which Greenspan may provide financial assistance include parks; playgrounds, picnic or camping areas, public hunting or fishing, protection of a scenic area, a "green belt" to control sprawl or protect zoning, or reservoir pollution control. Chairman Weinrich invites local government officials interested in community planning to call or visit the ASCS county office to discuss the possibilities of using Greenspan to improve the area's recreation and scenic values. He also said a representative of the county committee would gladly attend meetings of city and county governing boards to discuss Greenspan.

Local governmental agencies wishing to participate in Greenspan should reach agreements with the ASC County Committee by June 30 in order to be included in the 1966 Program.

A fire whistle last Friday caused many Tilden residents to take cover, fearing it was a tornado warning.

The setting was perfect as storm clouds were plentiful and storm warnings were out for a large area. However the whistle was for a fire and it was not a continuous blast such as the tornado warning would have been. With the residents in this area overly tornado conscious, many took shelter on the first blast. Poles by the Tilden Grain Co. Elevator were struck by lightning and the alarm was turned in for this reason.

CONTINUOUS BLAST Fire Chief Franz Beckerbauer stated that, "the whistle will be blown when a tornado is sighted in the immediate area and that the warning will be a long, continuous blast of several minutes. I repeat, the blast will be CONTINUOUS and not up and down like a fire whistle. An all-clear signal will be used this year and will be distinguished by high-pitched short blasts. These will be easily recognized as they will be coming from a record played over the loudspeaker system at the Methodist Church." USE FIRE NUMBER Rural residents should have their Fire Number handy at the phone at all times and this number should be given to the party answering their call, The use of these numbers can save time in most cases.
