Alpha Sprin is here! Daily both youngsters and grownups go "not fishing" for crawfish but "scooping" for them. Even women don boots an dheavy cotton gloves and wade out in most secret Places. The handsome fellows caught are scooped up by the double handfuls Finders then return to town with their sacks containing as many as one cares to bring back home. A favorite back-yard scene is the gathering of those preparing the crawfish for quick enjoyment. '-Crawfish Bisque" now? Perhaps or those who have much leisure time on their hands.

But, the majority of those seen preparing them will eat them as just "Boiled and the group officially adjourned. Refreshments were served by the hostess Mrs. Miller to the following: Mrs. J. B.

Students are selected from all over the state by school officials and recommended for enrollment in such a conference because of their recognized qualities of leadership, but applications for only 80 are accepted for each period. And, the 80 are 40 boys and 40 girls. Since the conference is held purposely to enlarge already established qualities of leadership, they are not chosen from the 11th grade but from the 10th instead.

In that way the students return to their schools and put into practice the values derived from experiences and responsibilities derived therefrom. In order to accommodate the large number of pupils who accept the invitation to take part, two different conference date smust of necessity be set. This year those dates are June Mth to 22nd and June 24th to July 2nd.

Here is an increasingly important industry providing good jobs for Louisiana people Spending large sums of money with local suppliers of materials and equipment paying important tax money for the support of state and local governments providing a sound investment for private capital. It deserves your support in its efforts to build a greater Louisiana. Louisiana is making its mark in the cement industry, converting limestone and Clays into good toads, into concrete foundations for prospering new industries, and putting them to scores of other uses that help to serve the state. But limestone and clay, in their natural state, are of little value. They must be gathered and processed into cement which is then taken to places and used where people need it Natural gas is another natural resource that is worthless while it is under the ground.

It, too, must be gathered, processed and transported to cities and towns where it can be put to use before it gains value. This is the job being done by the United Gas companies giving importance and value to an otherwise worthless product of the earth. This is practical conservation, for it stimulates Industrial development, creates jobs and benefits all the families in Louisiana.
