poisonous insinuations, to realize
that the holy site argument was
a disguise for as shameless a dis
play of hypocrisy as ever shown
in serious debate. He argued
Jerusalem was not a political but
a religious issue. Even he must
have smiled inwardly at that ar
gument, for only the politically
naive could be made to believe
that Soviet Russia and its satel-
lites were moved solely by con-
siderations of Christian sanctity,
and without whose votes the res
olution would have failed. NAL
ik's cynicism and true motive be-
came evident when, Immediately
after the decision was reached, he
said that the INSTRUMENTATION
resolution was worth adopting
even if it served no other pur-
pose than bolstering the morale
of the Arab world. Within min
utes he shook off the cloak Of
piety and became the politician
he is. The religious moment was
no longer his concern. It was
Arab morale and unity that was
paramount. Arab morale and
unity for what? To resume the
onslaught against Israel with the
help and assistance of their new
ly acquired friends? To streng-
then their position against King
Abdullah? To effect the return
to position of the Mufti, arch en-
envy of Israel, of Jewry, and in
ternationally accused war Grim
inal?
The pattern of Arab designs
will become clear in time. But
whatever those designs. they will
be defeated by faith and arms
if necessary. Israel has not
fought in vain. The city from
which went forth the word of
God will not be wrenched from
Israel.

Because America has always
been a land of abundance, we
have given little heed or thought

Through the wanton destruc-
ton of field and forest. of game
and wild life, we have brought
ourselves to the brink of disaster
and it is only in recent years that
we have awakened to the seri-

Because OF this peculiar cnar-'
aeteristic the Travellers Tree
lends itself to unusual and strik-
ing landscaping effects, being
especially desirable in tropical
parks and gardens, its one great
fault being that in exposed loca-
tions the broad and beautiful
leaves are often whipped by the
winds into tattered ribbons which
mar its attractiveness. For this
reason it is better adapted to
shaded hooks or sheltered patios.
As the plant grows older suckers
sprout from the roots that should
beSremoved if the symmetry and
beauty are to be preserved.
The Travellers Tree is strictly
tropical, in Florida being practi-
cal for planting in the open
ground only on lower East and
West Coasts where it is frequent
ly seen, and then they are some
times nipped by occasional freez-
ing weather. The largest speci-
men that I recall (about 80 feet
in height was on the edge of a
hammock at Naples, Fla. They
may be grown either from seed
or suckers. The seed, by the way,
are located with a beautiful blue
covering reminding one of fine
silk.
Among botanists the Travellers
Tree is known as Ravenalia mad
agascariensis which reveals its
native habitat to be the Island of
Madagascar off the east coast of
South Africa. Rev. Ellis in an
interesting book on Madagascar
speaks of this remarkable tree as
follows:
The extent to which it pre-
walls may be. inferred from the
native name Ravenalia by which
it is designated by Sonnovat, its
discoverer. Ravenalia is literally
leaf of the forest, as if it were
the leaf by which the forest is
characterized, which is the fact
where it abounds, though in
many parts it is not met with at
all. Many of the trees in this re-
gion were a least 80 feet from the
ground to the lowest leaves.

the need for an intelligent and
workable conservation program,
but to city folks and business
leaders as we'll, since their flu
ture is as much at stake as any
one.
A soil Conservation Field Day,
the first of its kind in Florida
will be staged Thursday, April 7,
at the Fellowship Biblical Col
lege property adjoining tn e
Municipal Airport at Sanford.
On this one eventful day the
Colleges 385-acre farm will re-
ceive a lifting that under
ordinary conditions would not
be possible in less than five
years. This gigantic soil conSer-
walton demonstration is being put
on to acquaint Florida with what
can be accomplished under prop
erly planned and directed con-
servation programs.
Arrangements have been made
for a complete program o I
demonstration during the day
that will include most of the
Improvement and water control
practices recommended by the
Soil Conservation Service for
Central Florida.
Just about every agricultural
interest is cooperating fully to
make the day a success, the
states leading machinery folks
are supplying everything needed
in the way of modern machinery;
seed and fertilizer companies are
furnishing the necessary supplies
to care for planting. Technical
assistance will be furnished by
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture with the nations top flight
authorities directing the work
and explaining each operation.
The amazing and spectacular
demonstration will in the one
day program demonstrate how
easily the soil and water conser-
walton problem of this nation
can be whipped if all who are
able to contribute to its solution

that these vast green shining
