CARVER VILLAGE

Six weeks ago Negro citizens occupied units of the
Edison Center project known as carver Vlage Ihe WI
been occupied by whites The usual objections rails
ed committees formed and protests made to the City
Commission This body evaded the issue long they
thought it possible then from property owners
and Others just interested brought about decision by
the city purchase the property and for municipal
store houses etc. This seemed satisfactory solution to
many but there others who felt that this decision by
the Commissioners was for the most part make-sht
because an election is coming up However, it was the
consensus that the problem about to be solved.
The surprise early on Saturday morning when
two of the unoccuped houses adjacent to the village were
dynamited. The damage estimated at 100000 This
naturally brought about tense feeling although there has
been violence Police have been guarding the section
Three Negro suspects and one White have been ques
toned and released The White leaving the area
and his license number was taken.
Attorney Hawthorne, president of the newly form
ed Dade County Property Owners Association asked the
lage but the Commission refused They know there no
law by which they could evict these people. ..
Mayor Wofarth said:
1--WE giving the situation lot of thought. 1t calls
for calm and considered judgement"
The Mayor is right After ALL Negroes are citizens and
be- repeced by those in authority The whole matter has
been one-sded With all the protests before the City Com
mission and otherwise there one Negro at the hearing
represent present the other side? No. not Ne
groes remained calm and watched the proceedings but
they cognzant of the wrongs committed against them
Back of all this stands the low cost housing program
that has been practically killed by the City Commission
though the referendum was agreed to-
The Miami Housing Authority fought hard for low
cost housing very desirable sites suggested but
the usual protests made and the majority of those
in authority, after listening to the protests took humble
bow.
Miami has made wonderful progress interracially we
know all about it. We have been in the midst OF this pro-
ress for 80 years and glad about that Miami must
keep progressing, and she will, because there are
Whites and Negroes who will continue to work together
for the best interest of all concerned This will in
spite of that element which would descend to such depths
to dynamite in attempt to drive innocent people
from their home while they asleep during the early
hours of the morning
We were lucky no lives were lost.
The publicity Miami will receive from this dastardy
act will make us bow heads in shame Nevertheless,

ton sometimes, in the best regulated families.

The Moving Finger
BY L. A. THOMPSON

Miami is still suffering from
growing pains on the interracial
front. Away back in 1917, color
ed folk were not supposed to
drive cars, and when they start
ed to do so, it was thought by
some people that they were be-
coming too "bigity'' Something
happened. An attempt was made
to blow up the Odd Fellows hall
on the corner of End ave. and
18th st. The temperature went up
beyond fever heat; but with the
advice of wiser heads, it gradu-
ally came almost down to zero.
In 1920 a few houses were built
south of 14th street and west of
9th ave. When it became known
that they were to be occupied by
colored folk, the windows were
shot through, and a terrific ex-
plosion occurred on the premises
one night. In those days that was
forbidden ground for colored
When the Booker T. Washing
ton High School was under con-
Struction, something happened.
Those who should have known
said there was no dynamiting.
But something made a mighty"
noise one morning, and a part of
the building caved in. That Sec
ton, too, was forbidden ground.
However, Miami kept growing -
in all these pains.
Brown Sub, Liberty City, and
nearly all of them had their trial
bv fire or something. But people
can't stay "hot" all of the time,
or they would burn up them
selves. And now the foul incident
in Carver Village last week is an
other ungentle reminder that Mi
ami is still having growing pains.
Pray for Miami.
The Rev. F. D. Jordan of Los
Angeles, California, one of the
representatives of the AME
church at the Ecumenical Meth
odist Conference which met re-
Gently at Oxford, England, OBJ
served that there were contra
dictions" at the confab in spite of
the many good features.
He said that Methodism is
minority religious group in Eng
land; that 100000 Negro Meth
odiSts in America and their
founders were not mentioned by
Bishop Moore of Atlanta, Ga, in
his discussion on "Methodism in
the United States;;" that although
88 per cent of the Methodists of
South Africa are Africans. vet
they were represented by a Euro
pean.
Bishop Moore just forgot his
colored brethren, perhaps! Out
side this country the Methodists
are not "crazy" about encourag-
ing colored leadership of a high
order. They prefer the type from
which good underlings are made

Man-made Weather
Continued From Page 81

growing season can mean about 3.5
bushels more wheat per acre. The
Horrigan brothers, owners of sew
eral very large farms in this area,
hired WRDC last spring to increase
1850 rainfall. Generators were
brought in time to seed two general
storms, one June 6-8 and the other
June 11-12, when the wheat was
Towering and heading.
2.3 Inches of Rain
Rain over the Horrigan farms
amounted to about 2.3 inches, while
other areas covered by the same gen.
eral storm, but where no effort was
made to increase rain, received only
about half an inch. The Horrigans
gained about 10 extra bushels of
wheat per acre on their 10000 acres.
And they ''stood treat" for neighbors
over several hundred square miles,
since the effect of the seeding was
felt for 40 to so miles downwind.
In two other 1850 projects in the
northwest wheat country, WRDC un-
dertook to do more than merely in
crease the rainfall!
Their goal was to keep a cloud
cover until the wheat was ripe, so
as to avert early killing frosts, and
they were successful. The boldness
and delicacy of the operations under
taken speaks volumes as to the po-
tentialities offered by the science of
weather forecasting and control.
In regions where blazing sunlight
keeps the soil unduly hot, the COM
pany is studying the possibility of
maintaining high cirrus-cloud cover
to lower the soil surface tempera-
lures.
Largest territorial operation un-
dertaken so far by WRDC is divided
into four contracts, covering huge
areas in eastern Colorado and north
eastern New Mexico, district twice
the size of New England, where
continued drouth had made
ranchers desperate. Copious rains
fell last summer in parts of Colorado
and New Mexico after WRDC gen
orators were moved in.
Stop for HaYing?
The New Mexican case is also

met to decide in sober earnest
whether to keep it raining, or to stop
it long enough to get the hay inl
One of these southwestern projects
also provided word on the never
ending dispute as to whose rain it is.
"Well, if it's the Lords" rancher
drawled, HE sure does His best work
right behind those generators"
w. G. McGinnies, director of the
U. S. forest and range experiment
station, Fort Collins, Colo, told the
Great Plains council recently that, if
rain-making claims hold up, he could
envisage the truly gigantic prospect
of creating a new midwest out of the
semi-arid western plains. This would
mean extending climate like that
of western Iowa or eastern Nebraska
almost to the Rocky mountainsl
Cloud seeding brings on other in
teresting questions:
Can I rob you by increasing my
rain, if you are to downwind? Krick
says no, that mans utmost endeavors
can only bring down about percent
of a clouds moisture over any one
area, and that is quickly restored.
Hail Storms Tanned
Can hail storms be tempered? Def
initely! 1t was successfully done in
1949 in the Rogue River valley. A
hailstorm is simply thunderstorm
gone mad. 1t can be seeded early to
bring it down as rain instead of pei
lets of ice; or it can be overseeded
to float it away, as tiny frozen crys-
tails, to form cirrus clouds.
Can lightning storms be tempered?
Probably, says the U. S. forest serv-
ice, which fights 5000 lightning fires
a year in the western forests. The
idea would be to provoke rain to
dampen the forests and also to break
up the storm before it could travel
far.
Government Goes Slow

federal government works almost
entirely through Project Cirrus, ano
results here are released only after

tary significance. New Mexico ha:
