Carpets may be .snagged, lino leum dented and floors scratch ed by these little thin heels. But even more Important they may be dangerous to the driver of an automobile, the specialist points out. "One automobile association has warned women drivers that long thin heels may get wedged between the floorboard and hinge of the gas pedal so that to free the heel It may be neces sary to depress the accelerator further to the floor. The extra speed and power unleashed may cause a serious accident, Miss Kreifels emphasizes. The University specialist sug gests that women carry an extra pair of low heeled shoes In the car to wear while driving. SAY IT WITH FLOWERS Warwick, R. I.

This was the contention of Roy D. Hockensmith of Washington, D. C, director of soil survey operations for the U.S. Soil Con- servation Service, before the grassland, woodland, recreation or other uses. Third, they must protect but hold in reserve without I necessarily Idling the resources soils potentially suited tor i veya iu uc unauneu i.u cultiva tion. Using It as cropland means reduced net income for the oper ations as well as costly dama-e tn thp .,- h. suited to cultivation Hockensmith hailed a growing consciousness among landowners of the need to convert low-grade cropland to other conservation uses. In Kansas, he said, local county committees have esti mated one million cropland acres will be converted to grass by 1975. In the Great Plai.is Conssrva tion Program, now operating in 380 of the 422 Great Plains counties, a million acres of land ur.suited to cultivation will be put In grass as owners carry out long-range contracts based on complete farm and ranch plans. In the 12-year period, the re duction of cropland by 2,900,000 Money Attitudes May Be Copied, Be Careful! LINCOLN "The expression 'like father, like son,' applies in more ways than you may realize. It ls ever so true when It comes to money matters," says Mrs. Clara N. Leopold, Ex tension home management specialist at the University of Nebraska. More than anything else, par ents' attitudes toward money shape their children's ideas, Mrs. Leopold states. "Your child may Imitate your Ideas or rebel a gainst them, but you can be sure they will affect him,'' she stresses. Studies cited by Mrs. Leopold, show the spending habits of young married couples stem di rectly from their parents' hab its. Consumer finance organiza tions, which make small loans to families, report that it ls not at all unusual to find that 10 to 15 years after money is loaned to parents, companies loan mon ey to a son from the same fam- y,; In regard to money, as In other areas of training for your child, take stock of yourself and your own habits.

Orderly land use adjustments In the Great Plains, the careful planning of treatment for entire operating units, with the use of proper combinations of prac tices In the right sequence these can mean sure reduction in land damage from erosion, more effective use of soil resources in the Plains and increased In come stability for the farmer and rancher, Hockensmith saidi. Along with this, he declared, will come added stability and the more orderly development of rural communities In the Great Plains. Ghost Town ... Ghost towns in the popular" mind are part of the Old West, the relics of failed gold rushes. A few remain today as tourist curiosities, some panning more tourist gold than they eve? took from the ground or streams. The ghost town Is becoming a part of the prairies scene, not the vestige of gold rushes aban- ; doned, but of unneeded service to farmers and ranchers. Found ed when the horse and buggy was transportation and railroads were fast travel, they no longer attract trade. The business district of . the prairie ghost Is one of empty .. stores; or of a general store and"" filling station standing alone. Once it supported a couple of newspapers, a dozen or more stores, a bank or two, half a dozen cafes and restaurants, maybe a saloon or two. Where once, on Saturday night Main Street was jammed with bug gies or Model Ts, they are now as abandoned as some far away war-ravaged town. There are those who blame the prairie ghost towns on the decline of farms or ranches and farm or ranch families. They y mourn the passing of the prair- , ie village as they mourn the.1' passing of the small farm, ig- ' norlng the very real fact that"! there is a common reason for-r the decline of the prairie village and the increasing size of the prairie farm or ranch. If villain there be, It is tech nology, change, a dynamic ami continuing improvement of the use of machinery by man to save himself time and work. ' The first "villain" then must be the automobile, which made It possible to travel as far In an hour as horse and buggy went In a couple of days. The second "villain" is the truck, growing bigger with each year, eliminating families and jobs from the prairie village as it took over an increasing share' of the transportation job of th V. railroads. And perhaps the , greatest "villain" of all In de.'' populating the prairie villaga was the farm tractor, and its close cousin, the self-propelled " combine, making it possible for one man to do the work of 'a) crew. ' No matter how nostalgic we may be, how reluctant to accept the facts, we cannot change the truth that the prairie village."" which becomes a ghost town fails to keep pace with the dy-1 namics which provide human progress.
