If I were a, Supervisor , I would certainly have 

 my annual plan of operation before me at all 

 Ponrd meetings. If my District had not worked 

 out its annual budget , I would insist that a 

 budpet be set up so that the District vrould be 

 more able to stay Solvent Instead of losing 

 money each year. 



I vjould invite a d ifferent group such as the 

 News Media people , Voc-Ag teachers . Extension 

 Service . School Administration. Bankers and 

 others to each board meeting . I would ask their 

 advice a s to how my District could be of help to 

 them and insist that they help my District in 

 some way. 



I would thank the Lord for the privilege of 

 being a District Supervisor , and that my neigh- 

 bors thought enough of my ability to elect me 

 to serve them in this capacity. 



MISSOULA COUNTY SWCD - The supervisors thought 

 an automatic slide viewer on conservation at 

 business places in Missoula would be a means of 

 selling urban people on the conservation program 



Agriculture is big business - biggest in the 

 United States. Thirty percent of our workers 

 are in agriculture and related businesses. Each 

 farmer keeps 2h men busy in time - 1 to supply 

 him; 1^5 to process, distribute, and sell his 

 products. 



Robert P. Gerholz, President of the U. S. 

 Chamber of Commerce, told a statewide Community 

 Development Conference in Great Falls recently 

 "that the public assistance should be in support 

 of private effort, not in place of it. The 

 hand on the reins must always be yours". 



Approximately 35 urban families are expected 

 to take advantage of the opportunity to observe 

 first-hand the overall operation of a farm util- 

 izing good soil and water conservation practices 

 sponsored by a Kansas SIJCD in conjunction with 

 Farm-City Week November 19 to 25.

The teacher read some nur- 

 sery rhymes to her small pupils

 to see if they had really been 

 paying attention.

 the moon?" she asked.

 milknaid had cold hands."
