Several years from now we folks
in Holmes county viii see a great
many young pine trees covering
our hillsides.
These trees will be there be-
cause a group of boys from and
around Lexington, "a boys to be
exact, went out the other day into
a cut-over piece of woods and
spent some hard yet enjoyable
hours picking pine cones (pine
burrs as we boys call them). We
all left the school house in Lex
ingtoa in Mr.. Lutte Ellison's truck
about $3.50 in the morning and
picked hard till 800 in the after
noon with only a few minutes for
lunch.
Altogether we picked 1874 bu-
shells of shortleaf pine cones.
Char MON picker was David Skin
ner who ended up with 2 full bu-
shells Quite a few boys were
right behind him and every boy
present made a real good showing.
Let's figure out what the efforts
M these boys will mean to Holmes

county. AT about 5000 trees per
bushel we can expect las, 900 trees
from the picking job. This means
that we picked enough "burrs" to
plant 140 acres.
We had a very profitable day
One of the boys came around the
next day, and when asked If he'd
spent his money ($1.97), he in
formed me that he had spent only
AZ cents of it for treats and that
the remaining $3.50 was to apply
on his school costs in Agriculture
class. The other boys used their
earnings also in a worthwhile
manner.
We had lots of fun too. For ex-
ample: one of the fellows picked
up a pine burr, looked at it at
arms length, and said, "'oh, how ]
pine for you" Pretty good, don't
you think?
Every one of the boys is to be
commended on his fine job and
as their leader I can say that a
more orderly and ambitious group
of boys never set foot in the
woods. Let's try it again. How
about it, fellas?

against ratification of the North
Atlantic Pact itself.
"Yet, regardless of these ac-
tions, and the Senator's count
less other votes in opposition
to every American attempt to
preserve World peace through
honorable measures, Taft still
has the brazen nerve to come
out with a pamphlet containing
misrepresentation and deliber-
ate lies.
'This type of double dealing
Is a menace to our country's s
security as much as the Com

years of the type of representa-

age, caution and common sense.

O'Sullivan thinks there ought
to be a law against this prac-
tice.
So, he has introduced a bill
which would make it unlawful,
among other things for mem
bers of Congress, their employees
and relatives, to accept more
than actual travelling and hotel
expenses for delivering speeches,
or to accept pay for writing
articles, for two years after they
leave Congress.
II have observed of late" I"
O'Sullivan said, "that Lobbyists
have made tremendous efforts
recently to have people who do
their bidding receive their pay
off - so to speak - for services
well rendered by writing ar
ticles, making speeches, and in
dulging In comments so that
they could be paid handsomely
for their unnecessary services,
in lieu of making an attempt to
bribe the individuals directly"
Many such paid speeches and
articles, the Congressman OBJ
served, "were not worth a red
cent as far as a literary effort
was concerned" His observa-
tions were made within a day
after the revelation that Sen.
Joe Mccarthy (R., Wis., re-
ceived $4,000 from the Lustron
Housing Corporation for an ar
ticle at a time when he was
vice-chairman of a Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Hous-
ing, McCarthy's committee was
working over housing legisla-
of vital concern to Lustron,
which lost $8412 on the McCar-
thy pamphlet.
O'Sullivan also put into his
bill a prohibition of abuse of
the privilege of free mail by
members of Congress. He re-
called to his colleagues how
Congressman had loaned their
frank" for free mail of copies
of speeches and other propa-
ganda for the Committee for
Constitutional Government, re-
garded generally as the leading
anti-labor lobby.

the first since 1948, is somewhat
overdue in the light of GE's

a meager three per cent wage
increase in a two-year period, is
somewhat miserly, to say the
least. However, we are willing
to apply this offer Immediately
