Mrs. Richard L. Baker opened
the meeting with the club collect,
after which a most interesting
and enlightening address on con
servation and allied subjects was
given by Elmer Epting, technician
with the Soil Conservation Service
in Newberry.
Mr. Epting stressed the fact
that man has fallen heir to a good
earth with vast resources, but
that he must use wisely and well
the resources which have been
given. In taking what he wants
and needs, Mr. Epting continued,
individuals should not waste or
destroy the supply for later gen
erations. The speaker mentioned
the importance of wild life and
water, linking their importance to
the balance of nature. He conclud
ed by saying “Conservation is ev
erybody’s business. It is the hope
of generations unborn and man’s
hope of survival.”
Mrs. Rook presented Mr. Epting
a gift from the club as a token of
appreciation.
During the business session,
Mrs. Joe L. Feagle was commend

Somewhere behind Scmthern
lines—All is quiet now in occupied
Arkansas, Just as it is in Hung
ary, But there are many un
knowns; What kind of post-war
treatment will Arkansas get and
fur what duration? Will Arkan
sas he untitled to its share of the
foreign aid money? Will Arkansas
be re-united or kept divided, like
Germany? Will the Arkansas
problem finally have to he resolv
ed by the United Nations? (Even
the United Nations has not order
ed forced integration of the Arabs
and Israelites.) Since the reason
the President took over Arkansas
was mainly becauso Arkansas was
discrediting democracy in the eyes
of the world, it ie only logical
that Arkansas’ fate be decided by
the United Nations, After all,
didn’t we just get through joining
our iibsrty-loving allies, the Rus
sians to make the world (Arkan
sas too) safe for democracy?
General Eisenhower and his ad
visers decided to take all of Little
Rock by force. Too bad he picked
Little Rock instead of Berlin. He’s
the same General who was a party
to handing East Berlin to the
Russians.
This second invasion of the
South was prepared as carefully
as the Normandy landing. Nash
ville and Little Rock were consid
ered soft spots. Pushovers. For
Nashville is the Athens of the
South. Seat of culture. Home of
many colleges, three of which are
for Negroes. Little Rock, more
Midwestern than old-South, had a
history of harmonious racial re
lations. The army recently issued
an order (and cancelled it because
of the furor) outlining plans for
special training at army bases in
riot control on a southwide basis.
A pfeview of things to come?
Brownell’s Brownshirts will need
more units trained in riot suppres
sion when they re-take Birming
ham, Atlanta, Vicksburg. They
ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Faubus Questionable—Eisenhower
Indefensible
Neither Eisenhower nor Faubus
was, I believe, as interested in
quelling disorder as in enforcing
or preventing integration. Nobody
should have called out any troops,
unless and until there was actual
rioting. Then Faubus could, have
called the Guard out, if the Little
Rock police couldn’t handle * it.
Whereas Faubus’ actions were
questionable, Eisenhower’s were
indefensible.
Eisenhower created a cruel and
unconstitutional precedent remi
niscent of and leading to a police
state. Congress last summer pass
ed a law denying use of federal
troops in civil rights cases.
“In the name of God—in the
name of decency—what is happen
ing in America?” Faubus cries.
“Is every right reserved to the
states by the federal constitution
now lost?” No, but they soon will
be, unless the people soon rebel
and re-take their government.
The 14th Amendment says that
only ( Congress—not the Supreme
Court nor federal troops—“shall
have power to enforce, by appro
priate legislation the provisions of
this article.”
The Southern states were being
occupied when they passed the
14th and 15th Amendments, rela
tive to race relations. The South
had the choice of agreeing to the
amendments or being denied re
admittance to the Union and re
maining an occupied province
(without Marshall Plan.) No
where does the Constitution state
that education is any business .of
the federal government. The 14th
Amendment, on which the Su
preme Court based its Black Mon
day decision, says that no state
shall “deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protec
tion of the laws.” Are separate-
but-equal schools not equal pro
tection of laws ?
Congress has never passed a
law forbidding segregation in
schools or anywhere else. Only the
Supreme Court has passed such a
law. And Supreme Courts can’t
pass laws, according to the Con
stitution. So integration is not
the law of the land.
This integration fight has a
strong political flavor. Political
justices set the stage for the poli
tical players of both parties.
The integration show is being
run by Tricky Dickie Nixon, mem
ber of NAACP, Sherman Adams,
de facto President, and Herbert
Brownell, U. S. Attorney General.
A Plague On Both Their Houses
Thi# in ju*t the beginning uf a
nH’Uggle that will grow more hit
ter, Thin pwtaeh wan denigned to
force a nhowdown in the South
before congrennionai elections of
and the presidential elections
of 19ttQ when the big city Negro
vote is figured to be the balance
of power,
But it’s far from a Republican-
Democratic fight in the old sense
that the Republicans represent the
North and the Democrats the
South. Main criticism of Eisen
hower by the leading lights of the
Democratic Party ban been that
he didn’t occupy Arkansas soon
enough, Stevenson, Harriman,
Truman “would have acted soon
er,” Meyner, Kennedy, Humphrey,
Kefauver, Soapy Williams, Walter
Reuther, Wayne Morse, from
which left wing group the next
Democratic presidential candidate
will doubtless come, would have
been tougher on the South than
Eisenhower. During the last cam
paign Stevenson criticized Eisen
hower for being too friendly io
the South. The answer is obvious:
Politically, the South should se
cede and form or join a new party.
The Big Issue
The Battle of Little Rock is thg
wrong war, fought by the wrong
man, at the wrong time. Faubus
is a so-called Liberal, has never
shown any inclii ation to States
Rights. This invasion is far big
ger than Little Rock or Nashville,
or even race mixing. This is a
battle for States Rights . . . for
the freedom of sovereign states to
settle their own problems . . . for
the right of free choice and volun
tary association. This is a fight
against a mushrooming federal
monster which threatens to des
troy individual freedom and liber
ty in America.
M AN’S noble companion and
friend, the dog, U an excel
lent partner for almost any type
of hunting venture. From the
“just plain dog” type that is usual
ly to efficient when the game is
squirrels, to the beagles that put
the rabbit on the run and the set
ters and pointers that hold to a
covey of quail, a hunter and his
dog. make e pretty picture in any
outdoor setting.
If you own a hunting dog, you’re
proud of him. You do not hesitate
to boast of his accomplishments
in the field end you feel e sort
of personal failure when he ap
pears to perform poorly. But don’t
feel badly if your dog has an oc
casional bad day. He isn’t a
human being, but he has his faults
just the same.
A cold or respiratory ailment is
a serious afflication for a hunting
dog, for vision is not a dog’s best
sense. No pun intended, the dog’s
nose is his strongest asset. The
dog uses his eyes to avoid obsta
cles, not to observe details. This
explains why he will fail to see a
rabbit running away, but pick up
the chase the moment his keen
nostrils pick up the scent.
The vision of different dogs may
vary, even in the same breed.
Some can see a moving object
800 yards away, but probably do
not recognize it at more than 15C
yards. Large dogs usually have
better eyesight than smaller ones.
Quick recognition depends upor
motion. A dog will recognize his
master by his gait, last of all by
his face.
So, don’t be upset too much if
Old Faithful doesn’t perform to
standard on a particular day,
even if it is a day on which you
wanted to impress a fellow hunter
with the dog’s skill. He may be
having trouble with his sniffer.
Next time out, he will probably
perform feats which will leave
even you surprised and amazed

Researchers Seek
Hidden Bacteria
CLEMSON.—Research on tha
winter hiding place of bacteria in
peach trees is now in progress at
the South Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station. The causal
organism of Bacterial Spot is the
target of investigations.
Dr. John JB. Whitney Jr., pro
fessor of botany at Clemsdn, is
conducting research to trace this
bacterium. Dr. Whitney believes
that such bacteria could be traced
by the use of radioactivity He had
devoted his research time during
the past three years to perfecting
a technique to accomplish this, and
has been working in cooperation
with the Atomic Energy Commis
sion.
Dr. Whitney inoculates peach

trees with radioactive bacteria and
then checks the trees with a Gei
ger counter during the winter
months to find the bacteria. His
major problem has been the diffi
culty in confining radioactivity to
the bacteria themselvss, and he
is now attempting to learn how
to control this by a washing meth
od.
Peach growers may easily rec
ognize the disease when cankers
develop on the trees, spots appear
on the leaves and fruits have pate
or gummy areas on them. Hi ad*
vanced stages leaves on the tree
may fall off prematurely and the
tree may die. v
Research to control Bacterial
Spot in peaches could be of es
pecial importance to South Caro
lina, because the state derives an
estimated $10 million income from
peaches during a good season.
When Dr. Whitney’s technique
is perfected it will be a milestone
toward enabling pathologists to
