Council Delegates Urged To
Support Anti-Segregation Law

At the Delegate Council meet
ing Thursday evening at the Cen
ter, listeners were urged by Stu
art Udall, president of the Tucson
branch of the Arizona Council
for Civic Unity, to lend their sup
port to the measure that would
do away with segregation in the
schools. The measure comes up
for a vote at the general election
Nov. z.
Udall pointed up segregation's
two bad features as being costly
and anti-democratic. At present
colored children are required to
have separate schools thru the
ninth grades. Taxes are increased
when children don't a atte e n d
schools in their own neighbor-
hood but rather extra" schools.
Significantly the country is
watching the results of Arizona
voting because it is the first time
such a measure has been put to
a vote Of the people anywhere.

Supreme Court
Will Hear
School Case

The transfer of bond order al
locations from Old Dock and
Guideway to a new central high
school will definitely be appealed
to the State Supreme Court, it
was learned this week from a
reliable source.
A spokesman for citizens who
are protesting the transfer said
Attorneys Alton Lennon and Is
aac Wright of Wilmington were
preparing the case on appeal in
accordance with the notice given
in open court when Judge w. H.
S. Burgwyn dissolved a temper
airy restraining order restraining
the Board of Education and the
Board of County Commissioners
from proceeding with plans to
erect a new central high school.
The plaintiffs contend that it
is illegal to transfer bond money
specifically allocated in the bond
order from the Old Dock and
Guideway schools. Judge Burg
wynn held in his dissolution order
that the county boards had acted
in good faith and that the trans
fer was constitutional.
The sum of $4,000 in involved.

Nh PROTESTS ARE SUBMITTED
nm pIREWAY BRIDGE PROJECT

Washington for final approval
However, it was believed that the
Armv's official and complete ap'
proval from here on out would
be strictly a formality.
Townspeople had written to the
Army in great numbers asking
that the approval be given the
bridge project. Some persons had
feared that there would be OBJ
iections raised to it's construction
but there were none.
Local persons now have every
reason to believe that the project
will be let to contractors in the
not too distant future.
The bridge will cross the wac

show it to be of fiXed-span con
struction with an overall length

RAPER
STRESSES
SAFETY

Nearly a quarter of a million
farm residents are injured in
motor vehicle accidents each
year, says Charles D. Raper,
county agent for the State Col
legc Extension Service. This fact,
nc adds, points up the need for
rural traffic safety.
Unlike city traffic, most rural
driving is on high-speed roads.
To overcome this danger, the
National Safety Council suggests
that the following rules be OBJ
served by drivers in rural areas:
Adapt driving speed to exist
ing conditions; keep to the right;
don't pass on curves or hills;
obey traffic rules and signs; be
especially alert at railroad grade
crossings; make turns from prop
er lane and don't obstruct the
flow of traffic; keep your car in
good operating condition; always
cooperate with local traffic Of
ficialS.
While driving the farm truck,
be courteous to other drivers.
Remember that a truck starts
slower, is less maneuverable, and
takes up more room on the road
than a car. Be sure to confine
loads to the capacity of the
truck. If you haul some oversize
object, attach red flags and at
night, red lights.
Remember that all traffic rules
apply to the operation of tract.
ors on the highway. Be sure that
you have the right-of-way before
turning on to the highway. You
are entering a fastmoving stream
of traffic with a SloW-movlnS
vehicle. Let the other fellow
know when you intend to turn,
Keep your tractor under contro'
at all times and make sure you
lights and rcflectors are in top
operating condition. Never have
an implement on the highway
after dark without tail lights.

TELLS ABOUT
PASTURES
BY CHARLES d. RAPER

All over Columbus County
farmers are getting ready to seed
mere permanent pastures this
fall. When seeding a pasture one
OF the most important decisions
to make is where to plant the
pasture, and what to plant.
In the past, farmers have had
the tendency to use the poorest
land on their farm for a pasture.
Experience has taught us that
we can get a better pasture,
quicker and at less expense by
starting on good pasture land.
In selecting land fOr a good
pasture you want to consider a
water supply, convenience OF
grazing and a soil that has good
moisture holding capacity, pro,
vided water doesn't stand on 1t.
A good pasture maybe had on
the low lying areas that are usu-
ally too wet for general crops.
Whenever possible d good
growth of Lespedcza or some
similar cover crop disked in and
left on or near the surface, will
help hold the soil and seed. A
mulch OF this sort is extremely
helpful in getting stands OF
the small seeded lcgumes and
grasses.
Only certified seed or its equiv
alent should be used when seed.
ing ladino clover and fescue in
pastures. According to Dr.. +. j.
Bell, Seed Specialist for the State
College Extension Service, the
only large area known to be pro
ducing ladino clover seed, free
of white clover, arc the states Of
Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia. So when buying seed be
sure to specify West Coast grown
Certified seed.
