Billionth Head of Livestock Lands At Chicago Yards The Chicago Stock Yards is delving into ancient, dusty rec ords and asking for help from anyone whose memory goes back more than half a century in an effort to find names of individuals to be honored at an Awards Ban quet on June 14 next as a feature of its 90th Anniversary celebra tion. The task might not be so com plicated were it not for the fact that many records were destroyed in the stock yards' fire of 1934. For that reason, the Awards Eligibil ity Committee which will deter mine the winners, seeks the aid of individuals having first-hand knowledge of livestock farmers who have shipped animals each- The funeral ~ was conducted ! t^ « £ hi<Slgp market f° r 50 Monday afternoon at the Brun - 1 dage chapel with the Rev. Arthur Allen of the Laurel Baptist church, formerly pastor of the Baptist church here, officiating. Interment was made in the family plot at Mountain View cemetery and serving as pall bearers were John Shaffner, Vic tor Peterson, Harry Renz, Vilas Banning, E. W. Bond and Walter Paddock. Approximately 15,730 persons were killed in week end traffic accidents last year. V O T E tor HARRIET MILLER for SUPERINTENDENT of PUBLIC INSTRUCTION republican ^ I'.,,.! |.„ I,-.

Nom inations of livestock farmers for the honors vmust be made either in person or by mail to the Anni versary Awards Committee, Room 116, Exchange Building, Chicago Stock Yards, not later than Tuesday, May 15, Others to be honored include the oldest active livestock sales man, livestock buyer, individual trucker and railroad men, oper ating at. the market. -All interests at the, Chicago market are participating in the big celebration. The Awards Ban quet is being sponsored by the Stock Yards Club of Chicago which represents a complete cross-section of the market—com mission firms, livestock buyers, banks, packers and the Chicago Union. Stock Yards. T h e C h i c a g o .Stock Yards reached its 90th anniversary on last Christmas Day. President i William Wood Price announced j the Awards Banquet as the first of two or three appropriate events to be held this year to properly com- 5E3SS£dS=[£ memorate the accomplishments of the oldest and greatest livestock market in the nation. Since the opening day, Dec. 25, 1865, more than 1 billion 10 mil lion head of livestock have ar rived at the market. When the bil lionth animal arrived on Sept. 7, ’-1954, the entire livestock industry joined in a fitting celebration ceremony under the arch of the famous Old Stone Gate EntanCe. President Prince preserited a check of $1,180 to the livestock farmers who shipped the animal to market, representing a dollar a pound for the Hereford steer which was given the appropriate nickname, “Billy the Billionth.” Bert Fevold & Sons of Humbolt, Iowa, were the shippers. . , At that time, the statisticians figured that if a billion animals were placed in a single line, head to tail, the line would stretch around the world at the equator nearly 40 times. They figured, too, that it would take an automobile one year traveling at a speed of 103 miles an hour to reach the end of the line of the billion ani mals. And should the animals pass by in a parade, one every three seconds, it would take nearly a century to pass a given point. The billion animals represent a value of 31 billion dollars which, in statistical fancy, would create a pile of silver coine that might go sky high if we let the boys with the slide rule continue. But by anyone’s standards, it’s a staggering volume of business, and the pace goes on as the mar ket operators look ahead. ACM NEWS Correspondent ilffTî RQBEBTSON Cor M RS.
