Locust Swurns
Over Africa

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The Marshall Plan last week
rushed dollar aid to help stave
off the impending plague of the
red locust in Africa.
The Economic Cooperation last
October financed $4,000 worth
of American specially-equipped
trucks to aid in the fight against
desert locust which now are be-
ginning to swarm Africa, threat
ening a widespread destruction of
food crops which would bring
famine to millions.
The red locusts, equally vorac-
ious, have been sighted in the
Rukwa Valley in Tanganyika, a
trust territory in British East At
rica. In 1929, swarms of these
giant, grasshopped-like bugs es-
capped from this area and spread
all over southern Africa, damag-
ing millions of dollars worth of
crops before the plague finally
was brought under control.
Marshall Plan aid in the Rukwa
Valley will involve $12,661 from
the agency's overseas develop
ment reserve fund to pay for five
busting machines to spray locust
breeding grounds. ECA officials
are hopeful of getting the busters
to this area in time to help pre-
vent widespread destruction of
crops. The red-locust plague, if
allowed to spread, can last as
long as ten or fifteen years.
Unlike the desert locusts, which
currently are darkening the skies
over North Africa, French Eq-
uatorial Africa, India and Egypt,
the red locusts concentrate far
ther south, blighting such areas

The wood formed three uprights to
which the Presdwood was nailed to form
a long box just 2 inches wide.
The cardboard next to the door was
oblong, but the outer piece had two semi
circles cut out with scroll saw to pro-
vide resting place for his hats. Width
of each cutout was inches and its depth
inches. In the center was space of g
inches to give clearance when both hats
were in place, and at either end was
clear space of inches.
Offsets at the tops and bottoms of the
wood strips permitted him to attach the
hat rack to the door with screws. He
liked the natural brown color of tie
hardboards and therefore did not paint
them.

The international Red Locust
Control, established by Great
supervise areas in Central Africa
Britain, Belgium and Portugal to
which are known to produce
swans of these insects, has been
successful in keeping down the
red locust threat during the past
few years.
During last winters drought,
however, the locusts increased,
and serious danger exists that
during and after the current
rainy season-December through
February-the locust may get out
of control.

of another annual festival known
throughout the Christian world as
Christmas. The old English form
Cristes Macsse, was first used in
1893. The observance of Christ
mas as Christian festival dates
from the 4th century, when it
gradually superseded January 6,
the Epiphany (Q.V0 still kept as
by the Armenian Church. There
isn't anything in the New Testa-
ment giving the actual date of
the birth of Christ. All attempts
to calculate it by the statement
in the second chapter of Luke
concerning the census have led to
mutually contradictory estimates.
There is evidence that it's cele-
bration was observed on Decem-
Der Twenty-fifth at Rome by the
Christians in 354, and that at the
close of the 18th century that date
had been generally accepted.
The giving of gifts at Christ
mas time may be traced to the
Custom in pagan Rome.
1. Which is the greater the
Christ, or Christmas? There are
two important days in the year
which should be commemorated
in a more Spiritual way than
most people do. Those two days
are: (a) Christmas, (b) Easter.
Man has just about taken the
Christ out of Christmas. The busi-
ness world welcomes Christmas
season for what it means to busi-
ness. The. Social world welcomes
it for what it means to society.
Our children welcome it because
they have been taught to look for
old Santa Claus down the CHM
ney at Christmas time.
Christmas should be joyous
day with all peoples of the earth,
but we should not rejoice because
of what that day means to us
materially if we only rejoice be-
cause of what little material gains
Christmas brings, then, we find
ourselves giving more Importance
to the results, than the cause.
The cause is always greater than
the results. So, with us it should
be the Christ of Christmas, and
not the Christmas of Christ. I
hope that the Christian people of
the world will prayerfully put
Christ back into Christmas, and
put the Resurrection back into
Easter. When we teach our child
rem more about Santa Claus COM
ing down the chimney, than we
do about the Christ child in the
manger, we are doing an injustice
to the Divine purpose of God.
When we allow eggs and rabbits to
