Representatives of Mead, Ward and Hunt, Madison engineering firm, it is true, have been surveying the proposed site for a cantonment at Camp McCoy.

But officials of the war department declared this was undertaken as part of the rm y's "long range planning program," and recommendations arising from the survey may never be carried out. No Funds Earmarked The war department is extremely cautious in regard to the information it gives out, influenced by such policies as protecting military secrets and keeping rents and land prices from going up in areas for which projects are considered. But department officials stated, definitely, that no funds are earmark ei for Camp McCoy and no construction is planned there at present. The office staff of Rep. William H.

Stevenson, La Crosse) in whose district Sparta is located, has kept closely in touch with the war department but received no assurance that work would be authorized. In fact, one official informed Stevenson's secretary only this week that Camp McCoy was "no good for all-year-round training." The official explanation at the war department regarding the future of Camp McCoy is that it is being surveyed for use in case events get worse." Only Four Authorized From among 23 camp sites selected in various parts of the United State, the war department has authorized construction at but four, none of which include Camp McCoy. Department officials asserted they have been constantly beseiged by petitions from areas in which the other 19 proposed sites are located, but said there are currently no construction plans for them. Nor did Col. Peter Lloyd, formerly of Sparta and now with the v.ar department here, have any information to indicate further plans for Camp McCoy in the near future.

Wisconsin sources in Washington, interested in seeing a permanent military camp in the Sparta district, hoped it may yet be established and pointed to the fact the war department in the past has sometimes issued announcements suddenly without previous indications. The suggestion that officials may be deliberately cold-fhouldering the project because Wisconsin is looked upon here as an "isolationist state" was strongly denied at the department. Tractor Explodes at Bloomington BLOOMINGTON Monroe and Jnornton escaped injury Saturday when the gas tank of a tractor combine which they were operating on the Charles Moore farm west of Bloomington exploded. The machine was des troyed. Livingston Plans High School Fair LIVINGSTON Livingston high school will hold its school fair Saturday, Homecoming day.

Friends Honor Dodgeville Farmer DODGEVILLE Friends of Thomas J. Arthur gathered at his farm home north of here last Sunday to help him celebrate his 80th birthday anniversary.

He has been a resident of Dodgeville all his life. Dinner was served from baskets brought by his guests and Mr. Arthur received numerous gifts. Prospects or Stock The agriculture department reported Saturday that 1942 prospects for livestock growers are "the most favorable in many years" and cash income from this source may be the highest in two decades. "Further improvement in domestic consumer demand conditions are in prospect, and this, together with large government purchases of pork and lard, will give strong support to livestock prices in 1942.

"The jfeneral level of livestock prices probably will be higher than In 1941." Total hog slaughter in 1942 may 43 Win Platteville Scholarships PLATTEVILLE Forty-three freshmen students at Platteville State Teachers college have been awarded scholarships, it has been announced here.

2426 Resent Madison Near Forest Hill and Catholic Cemeterlef VP Since he started making canes out of dogwood, wild crabwood, hickory, and butternut wood five years ago, he has been averaging around 30 canes a year. His proudest moment is when he tells of sending a cane to Presi-ident Roosevelt as a gift. He got a letter back from one of the president's secretaries, thanking him. Tisserand likes to gire away his canes, rather than sell them. He has given a cane to Clarence Lent-acher, county clerk of Green county, and to many other persons around Green county.

"I like making canes," Tisserand remarked. "It gives me something worthwhile to do in my spare time, and people who get these canes seem to enjoy having them." Writer Finds 250 New 'Pals' Are you lonesome? Would you like to correspond with a soldier, sailor, or marine in Hawaii? If you do, 17-year-old Elsie Ber-genske, 2649 Milwaukee can help you. She's got more than 250 letters bearing Hawaiian postmarks and she doesn't see how on earth she's ever going to find time to answer them all. It all began quite innocently a few months ago when Elsie and several of her friends wrote letters to the Honolulu Advertiser. They wanted to correspond with boys or girls in Hawaii.

Elsie enclosed her picture. Soldiers Have the Time "Maybe soldiers and sailors just have more time than anyone else," she laughs, "for all the replies I got came from boys in the army, navy, or marines more than 250 of them." Elsie's friends got replies, too, but nothing like the flood of mail that descended on the Bergenske home. "I've been giving letters to all my friends," Elsie explains, "and there are still mountains of them. "Haven't you got a sister or someone who could help out?" she added forlornly. It Was the Picture Elsie was graduated from East high school in June and this fall is studying commercial subjects at Madison Vocational school.

"I thought it was going to be fun at first," Elsie bemoaned, "but now look 250 letters." Perhaps Elsie shouldn't have sent her picture. Baraboo Masons Entertained by Eastern Star BARABOO The Baraboo Eastern Star entertained members of the Masonic lodge and their wives Thursday night at Masonic temple here. About 150 persons attended.

There will be dancing in the gymnasium from 7 to 11. BELLEVILLE Francis Tisserand, 75-year-old farmer who lives alone several miles southwest of Belleville, has a hobby of making canes, which he learned several years ago. In years past, Tisserand was a traveling real estate agent, and made thousands of dollars selling land in Texas and the Southwest. Then the depression struck, and the bottom was knocked out of his real estate toork. He returned to this area, where he had lived as a young man, and went back to farming.

Now that he is well along in years, he feels he cannot farm as much as he did when he was younger, so he takes care of a small plot of land and lives by himself in a small house near Belleville.

The department predicted a slaughter of about 28,000,000 cattle and calves, or about 3,000,000 above this year's slaughter. Marketings of sheep and lambs are expected to be greater than in 1941, but the number of lambs on feed will run about the same as the record crop on feed Jan. 1 this year, it was predicted.
