MAINTAIN MINISTRY

MAINTAIN MINISTRY
The present authorities OF the
church might have sold their prop
erty and set themselves Up in a
new neighborhood.
But, they said, facing the situa-
uon frankly, the vestry determin-
ed unanimously that the duty and
privileges of the parish was what
" mad always been-to maintain an
active ministry to the community.
The congregation of st. Michael
and All Angels, which has been ex-
clusively Negro throughout its So
year history, was invited to merge
with Calvary and take over the
Calvary church and parish build
ings. TWo-thirdS of the old Calvary
vestry resigned and Negro vestry-
men were elected to replace them
r. Rev. Thomas s. Logan, former
rector of ST. Michaels, has been
elected rector of the new combined
church.

PLATE NJ REGION
The area in dispute is Afambo,
plateau region in the Dunkele
tribe section of the country, just
north Of the Franco Ethiopian rail-
way. Although it was formerly a
part of the reserved area held by
the British, it was excluded under
the new agreement.
The French took over Afambo in
1886 at the time that the Italians
invaded the northern sector The
country is highly suitable to cattle
grazing. There was little that the
Philippians could do at the time,
and thav hod their hands full i'm
mediately after the liberation in
1912
However, soon after the new
agreement with the British was
concluded in December, 1914. the
two governments began their talks
on settlement Of the dispute. There
has been no violence. The negotia-
tons, being carried on without the
help of Intermediates, are under
stood to be going we'll for the
Philippians.
1t was in the course of keeping
this government informed of de-
velopments that the matter came
up during the recent conversations
here.

Difficulties Cited

los ANGELES CAMP Clti-
zens of San Diego reported laSC
week rank instances Of JimcroW
against Negro sailors stationed at
the San Diego Naval base.
One charge was that Negro shore
notrolmen were forbidden by re-
cent order from their superlors 10
arrest white sailors, but the same
order reportedly gives white shore
natrolmen the authority to arrest
Negro sailors. In cases where wnite
soldiers are involved, the llegro
shore patrolmen must call a ~nlte
navy officer to formally arrest
them. the report said.
Ratings among Negro sailors
have been slow and very lew. Inc
Gath Naval construction battalion
also had difficulty about ratings,
come of them recalled, ana When
their commander. j. P. Mclean, a
Mississippian, was removed, they
were sent to the battlefront.

lowed a recent visit there by Lester

view of the fact that the navy is a
party to these grievances.
Further complaints say that the
10 Negro Waves at San Diego have
received promotions only to first
class seaman that none was pro-
NOTED to specialized courses In
spite of ability TO hold higher post
tions, even though vacancies nave
occurred in various divisions.

only to those who send in to the
various seed houses for their seed
needs. It is advisable, however,
for all gardeners to lay in their
seed supplies early. This can be
done Immediately after the garden
has been mapped out and planned,
or just as soon as local stores re-
ceive their spring shipments of
seeds. In many sections of the coun-
try these supplies are already on
display.
Farm gardeners and experienced
growers in the smaller towns know
pretty well their needs in the way of
garden tools. But for the small
backyard or vacant lot garden very
few tools are actually necessary. It
is better to buy few simple, high
grade, substantial tools that will
serve well for many years, than
equipment which is poorly designed
or made Of cheap or low-grade ma
terials that will not last. In most
instances good spade or spading
fork, a steel bow rake, a 7-inch
common hoe, a strong cord for lay
ing off rows and enough garden
hose to reach all parts of the gar
den with water are all that is essen
tial. A trowel is useful in trans
planting, but is not essential. If the
soil is properly prepared, plants can
be set more easily with the hands
than with a trowel.
The fertilizer situation gener-
ally is not as good, due to nitro
gem shortage, as it was year

Buy Early to
Secure the Best

The latest word on insecticides-is
that supplies will be about the same
as last year. Rotenone, one of the
most popular garden insecticide in
gradients, will be available in ap-
proximately the same quantities as
last year. Rotenone may be pur-
chased separately, in powder form,
or as part of prepared insecticide
suitable for the particular vegetable
or insect with which the gardener
must deal.
The ingenuity Of the American
people generally, is manifest in
some of the homemade practices
which Victory gardeners have devel-
oped. For instance, when there was
a shortage in insecticide busters,
homely but effective method was de-
veloped by using common cloth
bag for busting plants. Other equal
ly effective devices have been used
although there does not appear to be
any apparent shortage this year in
the commercial small busters and
sprayers.
Extreme care should be used in
handling poisons so that they will
not be mistaken for flour, or for food
for livestock, or left where children
or pets can be injured by coming in
contact with them.
When using materials which are
known to be lethal to bees, livestock
or other property, one should ex-
ercise every precaution to protect all
property from damage and, as a
means thereto, use only such meth
ods Of application and under such
climatic conditions as to prevent
damage to bees, animals or other
property.
