public statements in favor of full
employment and complete equality
for all.
cit should be done not only for
the record" he explained, "it
should be done to indicate to
bigots everywhere that New
York's Negro political leaders are
willing and ready to fight for a
platform with meaning.
"The Negro delegates to the
Democratic convention must in
sist on full endorsement of Presi-
dent Truman's civil rights pro-
gram, regardless of the nominee
finally chosen. When the dele
gates from the south begin the
fight our delegates and their al
lies at the convention must be
ready to end it."

in Princess Anne county to get
voters, white and black, to APP

Of $250,O00 for a Negro high
school June 20. At the same time
voters in separate districts in the
country will vote on the proposal
for $425,00O additional bond is

Court orders for the referen-

E. Kellam in Princess Anne coun-

noon. The judge acted after re-
ceiving resolutions from the school
board and board of supervisors
urging this step.
There is a county training
school for Negroes in Princess
Anne county but it is horribly
congested and w~oefully lacking in
facilities for a modern system of
high school education.
Though the Negro schools are
in much deplorable condition than
the white schools, $425,0 600 Of the
anticipated bond issue money

officials said.

tol. The bullet, fired from the win
dow of surplus army barracks,

lawn will be marked, indicating the
age range of the participating chill

All children, according to their
ages, will be grouped just outside

colored eggs should be delivered tc
the first corridor of the courthouse

The number of prizes to be given
is dependent on the merchant All
eggs found by the children with the

titles the finder to a prize. Each
store is giving several and there
are a large number of worthwhile
prizes.

Injunction Granted
In Strip Mine Case
Hearing Held Monday
In Marietta Court

A temporary injunction asked by
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Hutchins of Aur-3
elius township, Macksburg, against
the Testa Bros, Inc, of Cleveland
and Caldwell, was granted Monday
by Judge Leonard 3. Ogle, in com
mon pleas court, Marietta. It was
alleged that the company was using
a 40 foot right-of-way to haul coal
across the pasture land of the
Hutchins farm.
Judge Ogle ruled that since the
coal stripping concern had surfaced
the established right they
could continue to use only l6 feet,
and then only to haul coal from the
40 acre Longfellow farm Or the
Hutchins farm where they previous
ly purchased the coal rights.
The court order prevents the COM
pany from having its trucks pass
on this right-of way which it was
said IN some places is 40 feet wide.
The defendant must also maintain
the proper fences.
Fogle & Fogle represented Mr..
and Mrs. Hutchins while the defend
ants were represented by Atty. r.
NJ Noll.
In their petition, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hutchins allege they own 81. .33 acres
and that on February of this year,
th4y entered an agreement with the
Testa Bros, Inc, whereby they sold
all mineable and merchantable coal
in and under the south half of the
premises and granted right -of-way
tc the strip mining.
The petition further alleges that
February 81 the company requested
a right-of-way from other premises
lying west of the premises of the
plaintiffs and the request was re-
fused. They charge that the defend
ants then went to a 16 right -of-way
existing across the center of their
farm and built a road.
The temporary and now the per-
manent injunction followed in the
common pleas court Marietta.

These Hogs Made
Money In Beaver

You can raise hogs and still
make money on them, despite the
high cost of feed, says L. R. Bas-
ford of Beaver township, who has
done just that.
According to his record, Bas-
ford purchased II pigs August l8,
1947 for $4,000. He kept them
exactly 100 days, fed them three
times a day and then sold them
in GAINESVILLE, January %, for
$772.8O.
The net profit to Mr.. Basford
on each pig was $38.81. The actual
cost of feeding each hog was
$25.28. The II hogs weighed 2,760
pounds when they were sold on
the market. They consumed the
amazing amount of 1855 pounds
of feed.
Basford is going to try it again,
only this time he has II pigs, just
four weeks old He plans to sell
them the middle of July.
The pigs are New Rock Jersey,
Berkshire and Poland, the same
mixture as the others.
