Presents Memo To
President Lee

TALLAHASSEE - An address
by Mrs. George w. Gore, Jr.,
campus first lady and presenta-
ton of a silver water pitcher in
memory of the late President j..
r. E.. Lee, Sr., highlighted the
regular monthly meeting of the
Florida A and M College Women's
Senate last week.
In this period of Thanksgiving
let us harvest for 1850 and plant
well for 1851, Mrs. Gore told the
group. We should never be so
busy wo do not sow properly, she
added.
GAS a nation so many seeds have
been sown of i'll will, malice E.
We should have a Christian life
free from ill will, jealousy, shift
leSSneSS and malice. None of us
would want to reap the seeds of
this kind of life"
'What we are doing here on
this campus? What kind of seeds
do we sow? What are we planning
for 1852" Mrs. Gore asked.
Following her address, Mrs. L.
H. Washington, director, faculty
women housing, presented the
water pitcher to Mary Bellamy,
acting president of the senate. It
was gift of Miss Kutura White
hurst, a former Famcee dean of
women. She is currently a pro-
fessor Of psychology at Virginia
State College.
The program was under the
auspices Of the Senior Women's
House Council. Miss Geneva J.

KAY VAUGHN SAYS e.
We Can't All Be
Designers But

NEW YORK - (CNS) There
are no two ways about it. Most OF
us aren't adaptable to Sketching
gorgeous gowns for ourselves and
stitching them a La Hattie Car
negie or Schiaparelli. And when
we find one who can, we sit back
and listen in awe. Such is L'Tan-
va, Hollywood and Paris trained,
who's currently making nation
wide tours to show brownskin
girls what colors and fashions are
best for them.
For her personal wardrobe,
L'Tanya has designed travelling
suit of steel gray wool. The hem
line is fringed and matching
stole likewise. The fox jacket
features double breasted effect
. A date suit is of red velve-
teen. Here she's done her favorite
styling, trimming the left sleeve
with braid and black fringe. The
skirt is simply wrap-around . {.
For parties and cocktails, at which
L'Tanya modestly sips scotch and
milk, she's fallen in love with
her own magneta rose satin en-
semble. She's made it off-the-
shoulder with a side dip peplum,
long sleeves which come up in
sharp point. The coat is also rose
satin and has high round collar,
short sleeves with deep cuffs and
is interlined to combat winter
winds.
AS a formal, L'Tanya chooses
her white lace gown which is "as
a portrait" The lace is imported
from England. She wears lace
gloves and throws a tulle stole
around her for dancing. A differ
ent type formal - the more ex-
otic type we should say, is her
lipstick red nylon jersey strapless
gown with a deep slit showing
gold Roman-styled slippers. The
effect which knocks 'em out,
though, is the peplum- it's Of
white platina fox and sits at a
sassy angle.

The Miami times., 1950-12-16

You can tell when world af-
fairs start getting serious because
people stop seeing flying saucers.
j don't know why it is, unless its
because people have so little to
occupy their minds in normal
times, but as soon as the smoke
of battle settles, flying saucers 60
on the rampage again.
Remember in the twenties and
thirties when people were seeing
sea monsters and when the Sun
day sections Of the news papers
all carried stories about the end
of the world? Any gypsy tea room
seer would have been happy to
give you a rundown on just how
long it would be fore the Sun COL
ided with Mars and destroyed the
Universe.
Those people who 60 for the
dramatic things in Life always had
a pet fortune teller who saw the
end of the world about two years
away. Then there were others
who predicted that the end Of the
world would come in about 1000
years, but they made it so drama
tic that everybody worried about
it.
4 don't know who it was who
started the flying saucer stories,
but they were a little faster NOV
ing, a little more immediate and
hence a little more exciting than
the hoary monsters of the deep.
They caught the fancy of the
public in no time at all. Here was
something that any good imagi-
nation could conjure UP at will.
A year ago flying saucers were
i; going great guns. You couldn't
: pick up a paper without reading
. an eye witness report Of the latest
flying saucer.
Some of the descriptions were
dandies, too. Nobody in the area
liked to admit that they hadn't
seen the saucer, SO they trained
their peppers on the clouds and
put their subconscious into high
gear. If I ever design a flying
saucer I hope I can do as well as
the folks dreamed them.
But now that things have got
ten more and more tense in our
international relations, the rash
of flying saucers, the sea monsters
the ghost ships, and the men from
Mars have faded into oblivion.
When people have real mater
dal cares to occupy their minds
they live quiet, cautious lives and
think quiet, cautious thoughts.
But when the cares disappear,
they manufacture unreal ones to
add heat to the fevered brow.
Especially is that true today in
this world of Buck Rogers war
fare, with jet planes travelling
faster than sound, gimcracks
which hurl sheets of flame into
the air, atom bits which can ex-
plode with such force as to vir-
ttually destroy large cities.
When the real thing comes along
it is as terrifying as anything the
Sunday sections ever wrote or
pictured anent the end of the
world.

keting administration committee
man encouraged him to try blue
lupine as a soil building crop. He
harvested 16 tons of blue lupine
seed off 30 acres which brought
more than enough to pay for his
$17OO combine. What he made
harvesting lupine and grain sor-
ghum for his neighbors was almost
all profit.
When asked recently by State
Extension Leader w. B. Hill when
he was going to buy a mechanical
cotton picker for his custom SER
vice, he had an answer ready.
"Just as soon as they get some
more of the bugs out of it," he
said.
In addition to doing custom
work all over Butler county last
year, he did a good job on his
own farm. His cropping program
included IS acres of peanuts, IS
acres of corn, 40 Of cotton, 80 of
grain sorghum, 10 Of clover, eight
of lespedeza, 80 hogs which
brought $1,000 and 16 head Of
beef cattle as foundation stock for
an expanded livestock enterprise.
From his woodland, he harvested
$500 worth of timber.

modelled his mothers home, add

he didn't have enough to make
the initial payment on the land,
but he succeeded in getting the
local bank to take a second mort
gage on it.
Then with the help of his county
agent, l.. L. Brewer, the young
farmer made a conservation farm
program for the entire farm. This
called for peanuts, corn, and cot
ton in a rotation pattern on the
level land, pastures for hogs and
cattle on the slopes, and selective
cutting of timber from the wood
land area
The first year, he learned
enough doing custom work with
his new equipment to pay for it;
and there was more than enough
from his own crops to pay off the
second mortgage and make a siz-
able dent in the first.
Today, the entire farm is out
of debt and Mr.. Bennett owns two
tractors, a peanut picker, a truck,
and a combine. He bought the lat

Young Aiubauru Negro Former
Finds Answer to Small Operators
determination Problem

WASHINGTON (ANP)- An
answer to small farmers mechani-
cation problem has been found by
Fred Bennett of Greenville, Ala,
according to a report received
this week by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture from the Alabama
State Extension service.
Mr.. Bennett, a 34-year-old farm
mer, found his solution partly by
charging his farm and partly by
establishing a farm machinery
custom service for his neighbors,
says the report.
When he started out six year
ago, he had only a pair of mules
and the use of his mothers 90
acre farm over which hung an
$1,000 debt. Now he owns a 800
acre farm and nearly $4,000
worth of farm machinery which
pays its own way.
Mr.. Bennett became interested
in farm machinery while working
in the Birmingham steel mill
where he saw several types of
machines at work. The farm youth
then recalled the miles and miles
he had walked behind a pillow and
a mule on the old home place near
Greenville. "Perhaps I could real
ly make a go of farming with
tractors and other modern equip
ment," he thought to himself amid
the din of the mill.
Then came the war, and n by
one, three of his four brothers
were drafted, leaving only tn e
fourth, a 14-year-old lad on the
farm with his mother, So in 1914,
Fred Bennett returned to his
+. mothers 8O-acre mortgaged farm
to help produce food and fiber
for our fighting men.
Naturally, the first thing he
though of as he headed for the
barn was a tractor, but with the
. debt hanging over the farm and
with only 80 acres under cultiva-
ton, a tractor was out of the
question. Besides, with most of
the factories turning out tanks
and guns, tractors were scarce. So
he pitched in and made two crops
with mule-power, paid off the in
d~ebtedness onthe farm, and wait
ed for his name to be reached on
the list for a tractor and a pea
nut picker.
By the time the dealer got
down to him in 1916, he had bar
gained to buy 800 acres to add to
the 80 owned by his mother. He
knew that he needed more land,
if he was going to use his farm
equipment in the efficient way
he had seen machines used in the
steel mill.
However, after making the down
payment onthe tractor and picker,
