Judge Al V. Hundley
The cloud which has been fol-
lowing the Hines family seemed to
be lifting last week when district
court Judge AL V. Hundley grant
ed DIR. James E.Hines a new trial
by setting aside the "guilty' YER
dict brought in by an all white
Jury which heard the case in Oct
ober The crime? Let's begin
at the beginning.
Young DR.. Hines and his wife
and child are well thought of in
Alexandria, La. The doctor has a
nice practice, drives a nice car :
is considered "successful". He is
from Louisiana too. Of course,
Mrs. Hines is from cup North,
but she's "real nice". They help
ed lead the fight which enabled
the Negroes of this town to retain
the old u. S. O. building. Mrs.
Hines used to work for the NAA-
CP" cup North" and you know
what some s'white folks" think OF
that "worse than commies''.
Seventeen-year-old Ethel Jean
Carr and her grandfather had been
the subject of much town gossip
folks said he used to beat her.
One evening last Spring, Dr.
James E. Hines stopped by his
home between calls on his patients
There he found Ethel Jean, who
had been let in by the girl who
worked for the Hines. Young Mrs.
Hines and their daughter were out
Of the city.
DIR. Hines asked the girl to
leave she looked as if she had re.
ceived some bodily blows he
didn't want her in his home
(knowing Ethel Jean, and know
Ing folks). Finally, after forcing
her out, she sought Remittance by
pushing her hand through a glass
window, severely cutting her arm
Now the girl really needed
medical care. The young docto'
put her in his car, and took he:
to his office. His nurse was there
After giving her the necessary at
tention, the doctor, with his nurs'
drove the girl to within a bloc
of her home. She refused to leav'
the car. DR.. Hines lifted her bodil,
from the car, and left her t.
walk home. ;.
Next morning, Ethel Jean wa

her grandfather, and was takel
to the hospital where she die
without making a statement.

cause she says we fight like dogs and cats
when you're home. They asked me at
breakfast who was calling so early. so I

This address, probably
the most famous in Amer
lean history, was an afterthought on the
part of the committee in charge of ar
rangements at Gettysburg that day. For
the formal dedication of the ground
and gray had fallen, Edward Everett,
a renowned orator with q booming
voice, had been chosen to make the
key address.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN, invited to add few
words virtually at the last moment, spoke
in low, gentle tones that would have car
ried great conviction in a drawing room
or small hall, but could not be heard back
of the fifteenth row out-of-doors. The
blessings - such as they are of the
public address system had not yet been
bestowed upon mankind in 1868. And SO
Lincoln's immortal words were lost
ON all but an honored few. The rest
of the audience was content to get a
look at the President - then began
to file out while his speech was still
in progress!
A survey conducted by the advertising
firm of Batten, Barton, Durstine and
Osborne "a name likened by some wit to
the sound of trunk falling down flight
of stairs would indicate that far too few
Americans are familiar with the Gettys-
burg Address today If 10 key cities are an
indication, more than seven million adults
never even heard of it. Sixteen per cent of
those who have heard of it cannot identify
the speaker Fifty-four per cent are wrong
about the occasion.
One man complained, 'How should
Iknow about the Gettysburg Address?
I'm a stranger here myself - just got
in from Chicago" Another boasted,
'ISure it was made at the end of the
Civil War somewhere around
1922
HERE HAVE been intimations that Presi-
dent Lincoln wrote the entire address on
the back of an old envelope aboard the
train that carried him from Washington to
Gettysburg For added effect, you can
even read stories that the envelope was
borrowed from Mr. Seward, of his cabi-
net, and the pencil from gentleman. then

Commission Explains Plans
To Restore Game Habitat

A pamphlet, entitled Maryland
Farm Game Habitat Restoration
Program, prepared by Edwin M.
Barry, chief, game and inland fish
management and staff of the De-
partment of Game and Inland Fish,
outlines the plans for establishing
natural abodes of wildlife in the
State.
The program, in general, is a
working agreement between the
landowner, sportsman and Game
Commission, with the Game Com
mission assuming a large share of
the responsibility.
AS defined, it is a Statewide
land-wildlife management pro-
gram with special consideration for
all species of wildlife in every coun-
ty of Maryland.
The program centers about
habitat Good and cover) improve
ment on the farms and in the
wilderness areas of Maryland. 1t
proposes to carry out certain wild
life practices, depending upon the
requirements of the species to be
assisted and the conditions of soil,
climate, hunting pressure and en-
vironmental factors. The practices
includes paintings of food crops
and protective hedges in available
areas, erecting fences and other
protective features.
The program is deemed necessary
in view of the steady decline in
many of our small game species
because of increased human popu-
lations and their attendant results
of loss of habitat, increased gun
ming pressure, forest and marsh
fires, drainage of sub-marginal
agricultural lands, intensive agri-
culture practices, "clean farming
and use of recently developed and
highly toxic sprays.
A farmer, a property owner pos
sessing more than 10 acres of land,
or member of a. conservation club
or service organization can join
with the Maryland Game and In
land Fish Commission in coopera-
tive agreement, or better still, be-
come cooperator of the Soil Con-
servation District in the county by
writing the District Soil Conser-
vationist, or by getting in touch
with the game warden.
