Yes, these are experiences you should enjoy. So until you can. I’ll try to tell you about a few of them. As one approaches the United Nations buildings, the dramatic effect of the contrast in their shape and size is apparent. The thiryt-nine story Secretariat build ing ri&es straight into the sky. It appears to "he all glass and is only 73 fee* wide. The marble omi limestone General Assembly build ing with its low, double-concave roof topped by a gleaming dome of lead coated cooper and the six story conference building with its straight clean lines are crouched at its foot. A beautiful fountain, contributed by the children of America, i% situated to the front of the group as is the arc of flags to remind us of the united workings of the sixty member nations. To the rear of the buildings along the River are rose gardens, vines, shrubs, and fruit trees from all parts of the world. So captivating was this entire scene it was hard to realize that only a tew short years ago this entire area was in- habitated by shabby tenements, breweries and slaughter houses. An International Board of De sign, composed of fifteen member nations, planned these buildings. The corner stone was inscribed with only the words “United Na tions” written in English, French, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish— LIONS CLUB The Lions Club will meet at the Community Hall Tuesday evening, November 16th at 7:45.

Occupancy of the permanent headquarters began in August 1950 and was completed when the General Assembly held its first session there in October 1962. Inside the buildings there seems to be marble and light and spac iousness everywhere. And I soon discovered the United Nations lives in a glass house figuratively as well as literally for the light of publicity keeps its works and actions constantly before all man kind through the medium of radio, television, and the press. In this kind of atmosphere—in this kind of a home—I quickly realized one must be careful not to cast the first stone. Our first morning at the United Nations we had a “briefing” by a gentleman from Canada con nected with the United Nations division of Information. He told us the United Nations was not a world government hut a moral force only. He said the United Na tions serves as a permanent diplo matic conference and, that its aim was to hit a trouble spot before it became aggravated into a war. The United Nations' policy is that it is better to talk than to fight. The membership and functions of each of the six main organs that make up the United Nations was explained. These organs are the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat. During the first afternoon there we sat in on a session of the Gen eral Assembly. This group, inci dentally, has been described as the “nearest thing to a parliament of mankind” we’ve ever had. Gen eral debate was underway at the time of our visit and the delegate from India was speaking. He was speaking in English but with our headphones we could get the in terpretation in any of the five of ficial languages of the United Na tions. The. seating arrangement of the General Assembly room, as well as the council and conference rooms, is unique. The delegates and their alternates sit on the floor level. Behind them and slightly elevated* is a section for the press and then the large sec tion for the public to view the procedings. There are always more seats for the public than any other group—comfortable adjust able seats each with headphones and dial. The_vast Assembly room with its seventy-five foot ceiling is acoustically perfect. On the lower level of the side Walls are two tiers of glass-enclosed booths for broadcasters, telecasters and language interpreters. The second morning we made a tour of the buildings guided by a young lady who is part of the Corps sponsored by the American Association for the United Nations. These pleasant and well-informed young ladies come from all over the world. In groups of twenty we were taken through the buildings. We visited the council rooms and found the structure not unlike that of the General Assembly room. We saw exquisite curtains and drapes, deep pile carpets and tapestries, statues and paintings—all contri buted by member nations. In spite of such a variety in taste, a beauti ful decorating effect has been ob tained. “Poussez” and “Tirez" are two words one sees frequently at the' United Nations. And so for that matter are “Push” and “Pull.” They appear on all doors through which we passed. The same was true in designating all rooms, stairs, elevator, escalators and such all over the buildings.

After spending hours here one certainly has the feeling that it is truly “the people’s house.” One sees the Frenchman with his be ret, the turbaned gentleman, the beautiful flowing garments of the woman from India, the slanting eyes—and yet it all seems to be long at this place. Although the English language is prevelant, a number of languages could be heard about the buildings. An interesting event was lunch eon one day in the delegate’s dining room overlooking the East River ... a delightful meal in a most unusual atmosphere. And too, we found much interest in the public area in the base ment of the General Assembly building. Here was a gift shop where you could choose items from many parts of the world and usual ly sold to you by a member of that nation. A large book store attracts crowds of people and the United Nations post office was a very busy place. One buys stamps here that are honored only on mail de posited in the United Nations building. Efficient clerks who wait on you speak several languages. Our final session on the United Nations took place just across the street—across the United Na tions Plaza at the Carnegie Build ing. Here the Tar Heel delegates heard a talk by Mrs. Eleanor I Roosevelt and Dr. Clark M. Eickel- berger. Mrs. Roosevelt talked informally about the work of the United Na tions and stressed the fact that the successful workings of the United Nations was vital to our children’s future. She said “We must use, strengthen, and de velop the machinery of the United Nations.” Dr. Eickelberger, director of the American Association for the United Nations, told the women that the United Nations is not a perfect institution hut a process of human relations and daid, “You women can go home and make your neighbors feel that the United Nations is theirs — make them feel that they are partners in its success. We need a revival of crusade for the United Nations and we need people well informed on the United Nations.” Also addressing the group that afternoon was Mrs. Eleanor Rob erts, Economic and Social Council consultant for the ‘Associated Country Women of the World. She too expressed the importance of the women familiarizing them selves with the work of the United Nations. Visiting the United Nations Headquarters was a wonderful ex perience. It gave me a new ap preciation of the opening words of the United Nations Charter—“We the people of the United Nations »» • • • • I left the beautiful and efficient headquarters buildings with the warm feeling that surely out of here would come the chance for endurig peace and a better world. “That 14 acres of water pasture is all that my 80 cows and calves have had to eat since the second day of July,” says Mr. D. B. Ruff of the St. Phillips Community of Newberry County. He was telling about how he, or rather Mrs. Ruff, had dammed up the spring branch which runs through his bottom land pasture. ^ Really, Mrs. Ruff is responsible for the project which has furnish ed all the feed their cows have had for the past 120 days. The dry hot weather and too many cows had about ruined their good bot tom land pasture which normally would furnish good grazing. But Mrs. Ruff literally made her dreams come true—she saw the grass suffering while nearby a bold spring branch was going to waste, she thought. Anyway she and one of the tenants and his thirteen year old boy took empty fertilizer sacks and in about an hour and a half had filled them with creek sand and had dammed up the branch and had water run ning around a hillside ditch.— Ditches were laid off by technic ians of the Soil Conservation Ser> vice in Newberry—to take the water over adjoining areas of al ready established, bnt suffering, summer pasture. By means of sm^ll 'irrigation ditches,” Mr. Ruff has managed to water some 14 acres of this sum mer pasture. “My cows have not had any other feed since July 2 when I first started thisflooding of the pasture,” says Mr. Ruff. He, of course, keeps salt and mineral supplement before his cows all the time which they eat free choice. The cows have kept the grass eaten down but have lived and kept fat too. “I know I had too many mouths on such a small place bnt I couldn't do anything else,” according to Mr. Raff. Sev eral steers sold last week from this good grazing brought well above the average price on one of the nearby markets. Mr. Ruff plans to extend this project so that he can water more of his pastures another year. “Areas of the same type laud which I couldn’t water grew noth ing but bitter weeds and horse net- ;ri ties this summer. I want to change that another year.” This project has been so able to me this year that I make full use of available from now on.” Mr. Ruff has been a in the Soil Conservation since the early CCC days, been a leader in pasture the use of kudzu and well as good water rotations on bis rolling fields. , Of course, water hag premium this year, but Mr. sandbag dam is just for alert farmers to use and . practical methods in oar program __ ? serve natures most precious to MRS. .BURNS PATIENT IN LOCAL HOSPITAL ;■' -;i The many friends of Mr*.
