Building Olney’s
Farm Future
With Dairy Day
Yes, we’re proud of the raisers of
fine dairy cattle who will be ex-
hibitors at the 1947 Olney Dairy
Day next Thursday.
Especially proud of the 4-H and
PFA boys and girls who are learn-
ing the importance of fine herds
and improved dairy • production
practices.
It is on the shoulders of those
youngsters that rests Olney’s fu-
ture as an area of better farming
. . . and we know they’ll do the job.
They’ll learn, too, as their parents
have learned, that White Auto
Store is a friendly place to trade
. . . and one where well-stocked
shelves offer good buys to the farm
and ranch family.
Dairy Day, and any day, you’ll like
to trade here . . . and your patron-
age is appreciated.

"Better Values for Your Money”
Information on Variety of Topics
Is Being Compiled Here for Olney
Public Library Clipping File Project
Information on a great variety
of subjects, which eventually will
make up a clipping reference file
for the Olney Public Library, was
being hunted down and assembled
this week.
The project to create a library
clip file, originated by the Junior
Altruistic Club, has received hearty
support from a number of local
groups, and a long list of indivi-
duals is at work on the program.
Incidentally, the project is wide
open for more workers, and be-
cause a certain subject has been
assigned someone doesn’t mean
somebody else can’t begin making
up a file on the same subject,
Mrs. Ben Newman, Junior Altru-
istic committee chairman for the
project, pointed out.
“If two people are clipping in-
formation about any subject, it
means a more complete file on
that topic will finally result,” she
said.
She urged that Olney people
who have a subject notify the
librarian the Public Library, so
their names and topics can be
added to the list.
As examples of the variety of
topics being worked on already,
the following Olney clubs and
their membership are collecting
material on the indicated subjects:
