Second, recent developments prove that the clean-up part of our job is well on its way . . . Part of that assurance comes from our new soil bank . . . This year the soil bank is retiring over 12 million acres and earning 500,000 farmers more than $260 million. When next year it retires 40 million to 50 million acres, overproduction will start coming under control. That means better times for every farmer...
...about to deliver up Michigan to Robert A. Taft. Thereafter Feikens helped spark the revolt that swung the Michigan delegation to Eisenhower. He won election to the $10,000-a-year job of state chairman after the Eisenhower landslide, was re-elected in February 1955 notwithstanding the Democratic clean sweep of 1954. He has since worked himself ragged trying to rebuild the G.O.P. organization. "In 1954 it was like playing the New York Yankees with a sand-lot ball club," he says. "Now we've got the bare beginnings of a start...

Then he hit a clean single; a few minutes later he got his big feet churning and stole second. When the dust settled and someone took time to add up the score, the Dodgers had won, 17-2. Big Newk had won his 25th game, the first Dodger to do so since Dazzy Vance...
...Clean rooms are the responsibility of the well financed Department of Buildings and Grounds. Their meager contribution toward getting the rooms into shape was a handful of untrained Freshman who came to Cambridge a day or so early to clean the bathrooms as best their lily white hands could. A month before this, many janitors dusted the rooms after they waxed the floors, but this was a humanitarian donation which thirty days of Cambridge obliterated. The Department of Buildings and Grounds might well invest early each September in a few mops, some dust rags, and a few cans of elbow...
