was President Roosevelt's first choice of
Der Of the National Defense Commission.
She was called upon by Secretary of the
Navy, Frank Knox, to advise when the
women's auxiliary of that branch of SER
vice was set up, and by Secretary of the
Treasury, as a leader in the Nations war
bond program. Then two years ago, she
was named adviser to the American dele
gates at United Nations educational con-
ference in London Her dynamic person
atty an liability as speaker, coupled with
her logical analysis Of world problems,
made her a teacher supreme. From the
time she came to the Womans College in
1913, until her DEATH few graduates have
gone out of that institution without being
influenced and inspired by her keen sense
of responsibility to public service. Because
of her, thousands of women vote with in
terest and intelligence, have become au-
utely conscious of world problems and feel
it their duty to crusade in public causes
for this State and nation, to which Dean
Elliott was SO deeply devoted.
A true patriot and liberalist, she was
without a peer in this state, in her champ
ionship of the rights and privileges of wo-
men. Fortunate are the thousands, who
were privileged to know her as a teacher.
Theirs is the task to carry on the ideals to
which Dean Elliott gave her every measure
of devotion. So great was her zeal for work
and acceptance of responsibility that she
truly might be called a casualty of great
causes; for such, her life and energy were
spent. She leaves an indelible imprint on
thousands and her influence is certain to
remain for generations to come.

Progress And Conservation

There can be little progress without
conservation. This is. particularly true of
our greatest of all natural resources, the
soil. And on the observance of the sixth
anniversary of the organization of the
New River Soil CONSERVATION District, it
is encouraging tosnote the progress that
has been made by the farmers of this area
in this work Since the organization of the
district in 1941 there have been 1888 farm
plans completed, with cooperating farm
ers operating 99,024 acres. But these fig
ures do not give complete picture. A visit
to the farms throughout the district will
show many vast changes and improved
farm practices as a result of the plans in
operation.
This paper has long been an ardent
supporter of soil conservation and takes
this occasion to congratulate every farmer
as we'll as all others who have cOOperated
in making the work of this district sue
cess We are happy to welcome DR.. Hugh
Bennett and all other visitors to this sec
ton of the State, to see the soil cOnser-
walton practices that are being carried out.
We are looking forward to the time
when more and more farmers will put into
practice DR.. Benefits definition Of soil
conservation, wise use and proper man
agement of all lands" This means, of
course, using the land to produce the great
est amounts of things needed and at the
same time protecting it SO that it will not
lose its productiveness.
Soil has it's troubles and many of them
that conservation helps to prevent include
topsoil washing or blowing away; cover
ing good land with erosion debris; eX-
hausion of plant food in the soil by over
cropping and leeching; accumulation Of
toxic salts; too much water resulting in
wet lands; lack Of water; burning of or
ganic soils and improper cultivation.
Does your land have any of these trou-
bles? If it does your soil conservation
practices are not inclusive enough. Have
a plan made ard put into practice those
methods that will result in wise use and
proper management. This is true soil
reservation.

Dean Harriet Elliott

The death last week, Of Dean Harriet
Elliott, of the Womans College of the Uni
versity Of North Carolina, ended a carer
of service and influence few women Of
America have equalled; for she was great
woman, dedicated to great causes and
made great contribution, not only to this
State and nation, but to the world.
Because of her broad conception and
understanding of international problems
and responsibilities, she might well have
been called North Cardinals number one
world citizen She was drafted by Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson to go to Europe for
a survey of conditions, following World
War l. And in those days, when it was pop
ular to be an isolationist, she was one OF
the pioneers, who recognized the vital
necessity of a world organization to settle
world problems, without going to war This
was a cause she worked for throughout
her life and happily lived to see the United
Nations come into being.
Because of her unusual ability and de-
votion to many great causes, she was cal
led upon continually to render public SER
vice and many honors came her way. She

conservation practices have al
ready been established on these
farms. This has had an obvious
influence from the beginning on
al +a.mers in the district as it
has served as q definite example
of that can be accomplished.
F.irr to the establishment Of
the district there had been no or
gained effort on the part Of the
farmers of Asne and Allegheny
counties to do much toward con-
trolling erosion. However the
erosion problem was recognized
by leaders Of both counties.
A movement backed by county
agents, interested farmers and
others who saw the need Of it,
was started and a district Or
gained.
With the organization cOmplet-
ed, the farmers Of the district
elected a five-man board of sup
ervisors, as prescribed by law
and charged them with preparing
soil and moisture and good land
use program for the district. They
also empowered them to seek out
and obtain assistance with their
program from whatever source
it was available.
This board of supervisors, which
was elected six years ago, still
holds office and operates the dis
trict. They are: Wade E. Eller,
Warrensville, chairman; j. c.

The Marshall Plan

The Marshall plan, as described by the
Secretary of State in his Harvard Uni
versity address and afterwards ampht1ed
is the clearest statement yet made on Uni
ted States foreign policy as it applies to
the rehabilitation of Europe. Secretary
Marshall decisivelv disposed of the idea
that this country would continue to pour
goods and money into Europe whether
or not the receiving nations did anything
substantial to help themselves. He made
it plain that we would do everything in our
power to advance the cause of European
economic recOvery-but that an essential
condition is that the suffering countries
work out a plan Of their own to make
crease production, and to practice self
help on the largest possible scale.
The Marshall plan is thus more than
mere extension of the Truman Doctrine
The Doctrine, as practiced in the past con-
sisted of material aid to foreign nations
with few strings attached. 1t was in the
with an emergency condition-as in the
case of the Greek loan. The Marshall
plan is much more specific, and is designed
to be of a permanent character.
Some hard economic facts underlie the
Secretary's policy. 1t has become evident
that there is a limit to the amount Of goods
the present time, for example, only ore
basic commodity, wheat, is in excess pro-
duction here A number Of essential COM
modities are still in short supply, and pro-
duction is barely adequate for our own
needs. Heavy buying of such ccmmodi-
ties for foreign use has undoubtedly been
a factor in forcing up prices in our dome5-
tic market
No one was surprised at the Soviet
Unions efforts to sabotage the plan. 1t
seems undeniable that the Soviet leaders
are convinced that want and unrest create
fertile breeding ground for the commun-
ist theology, and are determined to fight
democratic influences in every possible
1lldll1lSI' hl4oo1o D OOJSSt1Cll was C11S OAN
one to the effect that the plan marked an
other step in Americas imperialistic march
toward world Nomination. and that it
would involve intolerable interference
with the internal affairs of other powers.
Secretary Marshall promptly answered
that in strong speech before the Wo-
mems National Press Club. He said cate
gorically that assistance furnished foreign
countries would be used only for relief or
economic rehabilitation, and that it
should not be expanded to serve selfish
economic or political interests" He did
not mention the Soviet Union by name,
but the implications were clear when he
said that in many parts of the world the
United States is the target of "a continuous
propaganda of misrepresentation"

Book Notes
By MRS. G.. ID. NEAL

We do not know if it is the post
war let down that seems 10 ell
inmate fresh viewpoints and ORR
ginality, but most of the fiction
and non-fiction nowadays is hard
! ly worth more than to pass the
time away-if one has plenty of
time. During the war the read
ing public was eager to get any
thing that pertained to or eX-
planned any phase of the war. War
correspondents such as Mauldin
and stories such as Or Wassell,"
''P ri s Underground" and
BELL For Adano" were read with
great interest. Lately they sag
on the shelves unless people who
have seen the moving pictures of
them want to see if they "are
like the pictures" They turn
from war stories. especially re-
turned soldiers, and want some
thing light, preferably detective
stories. A good many soldiers are
! taking the post war education
very seriously and ask for scien-
! tific works that will assist them.
Books that are rated as best
sellers and are on our shelves
are "Gentlemen's Agreement" by
Laura Hobson. This is a book
about race prejudice against
Jews. Take it for what it is worth
on that subject. The entertain
ment in it is enjoyed by some,
but considered nil by others.
The Checkerboard" by Newell
Shute, is another race problem
to Americans who don't believe
that there will ever be an ANAL
gamation of the white and negro
races. Newell Shute is an English
man and has heretofore written
most interesting war stories, such
as "The Pied Piper" and
Pastoral" but seems to be very
ignorant of the physical charac-
teristics of the Negro race, judg-
inp It from what he saw of the
negro soldiers in England. The
story goes along in his best style
until nearly the end and is shock
ing in its finale.
