l.. G. Tyson
The Christmas season usually
brings those whom we value most
together; which makes for very
enjoyable holiday season. This
year The Dunbar Family started
its celebrating December II. Our
enjoyment started with a very
beautiful assembly sponsored by
the Dunbar Junior College Chorus.
The Christmas Story was narrated
by Walter Hill, the choir was ac-
companied by Arthur Porter and
directed by F. J. Ransom. This
was a very impressive activity
and put us in the correct attitude
for celebrating the birth of Christ,
Following this assembly the
spirit of Christmas was further
carried out by the entire Dunbar
Family gathering together singing
carols and receiving presents. We
did not meet in small groups and
call that family gathering but
all Dunbar personnel met as one
big group, cafeteria personnel,
janitorial personnel, and faculty
personnel Mr.. Christophe, Mr.
Conway and Mrs. Brack gave each
of their workers personal gift
which made their helpers realize
that even though there are times
when they must receive correc-
ton there are times when appre-
citation is shown for our loyalty.
We feel that this move helped to
bring us closer together as a
group.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congres-
sional leaders privately concede
that President Truman's program
for the 81st congress is in deep
trouble.
It is clearly apparent. they say.
that from now on a coalition of
southern Democrats and Repub-
licans will call the turn on leg
islation despite the fact that the
Democrats have nominal control
in both the senate and the house.
The coalition rolled in high gear
when, first, the house riddled the
administrators rent control bill
with amendments, and secondly, the
administration took a beating in the
senate on its filibuster fight.
Added to this was the action of
a senate committee shelving Presi-
dent Truman's nomination of Mon
Wallgren, former senator and for
mer governor of Washington state,
to be chairman of the national Sc
curity resources board.
President Truman, vacationing in
Florida, has had three strikes
called against him.
But the thing to remember is this
in politics three strikes don't mean
"out."

TALK OF REPRISALS.

A sharp split over rents be-
tween house members repre-
senting city districts and those
from rural areas has raised a
little uncertainty over the flu
ture of farm legislation.
In the house fight over rent con-
trolls, many rural district members
voted for amendments which their
city colleagues contended would
weaken controls in crowded cities.
There has been much private talk
of "reprisals."
Rep. Harold D. Cooley of North
Carolina, chairman of the house ag-
riculture committee, says, however,
that he has heard of no threats, but
several congressman have taken oc-
casion to tell him that they thought
the rural members should have gone
along with the city members for
stronger rent control legislation.
"But I don't think there will be
any reprisals," Cooley said. Sand if
there are reprisals I don't think they
could be justified or warranted in
any way"
The house soon will consider leg
islation setting future policy for
farm price supports, and other meas
ures vital to rural areas.
SYNTHETIC PYRETHRUM
u. S. government scientists
have succeeded in producing a
laboratory counterpart of nat
ural pYrethrum extract-the ba-
sis for many household insecti-
cides.
Its production has been achieved
by the bureau of entomology of
USDA. The pyrethrum, a chrysan-
themum-like flower, has hitherto
been the only source. The u. S.
gets most of its supply from Brit
ish East Africa.

FEED GRAIN


USDA will support grower
prices of l949 crop oats at 70
percent of parity as of April Is
and barley and rye at IL per-
cent of their April Is parity
prices.
The percentage support rates for
oats and rye are the same as last
year, but the percentage for barley
is down from rs percent. The reduc-
ton in the barley rate, USDA said,
is designed to place this grain in a
better competitive position with
other livestock feed grains in the
domestic market.
BY comparison, the support rates
for corn, the major livestock feed
grain, and wheat, major food grain,
will be 80 percent of parity, the
minimum allowed by law for them.
The actual support rates in terms
of dollars and cents will be an
nounced late in April or early May,
after the April Is parity prices are
determined.

F. Brannan is still looking for
a $1o.330 a year assistant.
The position was publicly offered
one man last year.
His name was sent to the senate
by President Truman for confirma-
ton.
But he turned it down. He was
Elmer Wene, a former member of
congress from Trenton, N. j.
Wene decided he would rather
stick to the job he held at the time
that of being a New Jersey state
senator.
Secretary Brannan could use a
good assistant right now, his asso-
ciates say.
The secretary is described as being

were $1.76 a bushe1 for rye, $1.52

Last year the support rates averaged
$1.15 a bushel for barley, 20 cents

WHAT PURCHASE PRICE?

Carroll Hunter. USDA solicit
TOR. defends the right of the de-
partment to buy wheat on the
open market for foreign relief
at less than the support price.
He told a house agriculture sub
committee that USDA never buys
wheat from the farmer at less than
the support price. But, he added,
the department does not know what
price the grain merchant pays for
his wheat.
Thus, Hunter continued, in buying
this grain on the open market USDA
might provide a windfall to mer-
chants if the department insisted on
paying support prices.
Rep. Clifford R. Hope of Kansas
takes the position that purchasing
of any grains for foreign relief at
less than the support price tended
to defeat the whole purpose of the
support program.
The subcommittee is obtaining in
terpretations of provisions of the
1913 farm act prior to proposing
new farm legislation.

The reception at the Iran En-
bassy last evening gave the guests
a small scale idea of what to
expect the end of November. For
then a mammoth party will be
given in honor of His Imperial
Majesty, Mohammad Reza Shah
Pahlavi, who will come to this
country as the guest of our Gov
ernment. The Shah's BIRTH
day anniversary was the reason
for last evenings celebration.
Since October 26 is the national
holiday of Iran-an occasion fol
which a reception is given every
year-the Ambassador and Nine,
Ala thought 1t best to have it at
this time rather than wait until
the Shah's arrival, as many
people had suggested.
Nine. Ala was out of town yes
terday but her mother, Nine
Naserel Molk, received the guests
with the Ambassador in the draw
ing room.
Some of the very tasty native
dishes-which are seasoned just
right-were served, along with
American food. Straight from
the chef came word that the
names of these dishes were Plou,
Khoureshet and Chelo. Plou is
a mixture Of chopped lamb and
string beans put over rice;
Khoureshet is a parsley, onion
and kidney bean stew, also put
over rice. and Chelo is a combi-
nation of olives, sausage, lamb
and mushrooms. They also had
dishes of spinach with sour cream
and Of mashed eggplant.

A letter today says: "Whenever
I have guests in for late evening
supper I use lap trays for serving
and find them most practical.
However, I am always in doubt as
to whether I should get up and
remove the trays of the guests
who have finished eating or wait
until I have finished before doing
this. I am rather slow eater
and most of the guests are
through before am"
It is true that you can't very
we'll finish first when you begin
eating last, therefore, you could
expect them to wait a short while
for you. But if you really take
much longer than they, you Yill
have to eat faster or much less
or you might eat a little some
thing before they come so that
you won't be so hungry.
