3. C. Ramsey, world traveller,
journalist and lecturer, speaking
before the Georgetown Kiwanis Club
last week, urged Americans Ito
tear of the veil Of cOmplacency;
do some constructive thinking;
learn more about our own America,
its government and economic sys-
tenn" and warned unless we come
to our senses and use our intelli-
gence, we will awaken to find it is
too late" Pointing out that Russia
is only 35 miles from us, across
the Bering Straits, he emphasized
the need to do away with "wishful
thinking. Russia" he said, lis
ruled by a group of zealots and
fanatics. whose world program Of
conquest includes the conquest Of
the United States" The speaker,
who has spent considerable time in
Russia since 1885 and made his last
trip to that country last year, told
of conditions inside Russia and
how the people live, giving a clear
picture of their way of life as COM
pared to the American way Of life.
He urged the scrapping of self
cOmplacency: urged individual
realization of Russia's plan, which
has been developing over the years
since World War l. This plan, the
speaker went on to point out, does
not necessarily mean World War
III, but does call for wars and rev.
OlutiOns all over the world; the
plan of compelling America to re-
arm to the point of endangering
production at home; the plan to
create ehoas, dissession and uneer-
tainty in the UU. S.; the disruption
of our economy, in short, "the plan
which calls for the destruction of
America by Americans" BY way Of
one illustration he called attention
to the plan already under way, de-
signed to organize mothers and
sWeethearts Of men in the Army
to rouse them into marching on
Washington to demand the return
of the boys to this country.
Discussing the results of Com
munism on the nations of Europe
and Asia, he urged the maintaining
of a ''watchful eye" and the setting
up Of real program of democracy
to go hand in hand with the MARI
shall plan; a program designed to
reach the peoples on the lower lev
els, to show to them Americas s /
way of life is the greatest and best
on earth" In conclusion he urged
that as individuals and as a nation,

ways and means to more chickens,

or egg production.
Buy nearby chicks when they
are good quality.
Buy from hatcheries that Nre

being recommended especially as
a fall tomato. I have grown Gro

it well enough to plant it in my
garden again this year. have
no experience with it as a fall
crop but think it is worth trial.
Marglobe has performed very

If the hot weather has ruined
your early greens, there is still
time to plant some New Zealand
spinach, which is a warm season
crop. It is not related to spinach
and 1 have noticed that the boys
in my vegetable gardening elias.
ses who have taken some home
for trial usually come back for

that our planting plans need a
little revision before next year
At least three people have ask

could be grown in North Caro-
