Corpus Christi: Will you please
discuss the words assume and pre-
sumo? I find the dictionary def
nitions too much alike for my peace
Of mind-R. L. w.
Answer: Assume and presume
are, in many instances as closely
synonymous as two words can be.
Both mean ito take for granted
to suppose as fact" as: presume
(or: assume) that you're tired.
However, assume means also "to
undertake, as to assume the duties
Of an Office; to assume an obliga-
ton of any kind" Here presume
cannot be used.
Presume means, in addition to
take for granted" "to take a
liberty of some kind, or to proceed
with impertinent boldness," as, to
presume to speak for another
(either without the knowledge of
the person, or without his permis-
Sion).

Redbl All pass
For considerably more sensible
reasons" replied Mr.. Champion
nastily, "I redouble."
Mr.. Abel had no way of knowing
that club lead was the only thing
that would prevent Mr.. Champion
from getting an overtrick worth 40OI
points.
He opened diamond on the rea-
sonable theory that his partner
could probably ruff it. But Mr..
Muzzy followed suit and Mr.. Cham
pion won with the king.
From this point, Mr.. Champion
knew that if Mr.. Muzzy COR Mr..
Abel, for that matter) had the king
of spades and the king, queen of
clubs, the Vienna coup would give
him all the tricks. How would you
play it?
There are 10 straight leads in
the red suits, leaving everybody
three cards. Yet to guard both
black suits, one opponent must hold
four cards. Thus the squeeze will
be successful. But wait. What
about discards from closed hand
and dummy on the run of the long
red suits?
On dummy's fourth and fifth dia-
monds Mr.. Champion can safely
discard club and a spade. No
problem there. But what will
dummy discard on the fifth heart
lead? The jack of clubs? That
will remove the potential 18th win
ner The six of spades? No, be-
cause then Mr.. Muzzy could get
down to the lone king of spades,
since there would be no entry back
to the closed hand to cash the
queen.
Of course, it was very simple for
Mr.. Champion. After cashing three
rounds of trumps he led a spade
to dummy's ace, deliberately pro-
noting Mr.. Muzzy's king to the
high card in the suit. Then he pro-
ceeded to squeeze Mr.. Muzzy out of
that card.
He ran five diamonds, dropping a
small spade and club from his
hand. He returned to his hand
with trump and cashed his last
trump, throwing the six of spades
from the board. His last two cards
were queen of spades and a club.
Dumy had ace and jack Of clubs.
It was Mr.. Muzzy's play to the 18th
trick, holding king of spades and
king, queen of clubs. He was sunk.
'Muzzy," gloated Mr.. Champion,
II can't say much for your judg-
ment. but I do admire those prin-
ciples of yours"

United Nations Notes. :.

PHILADELPHIA The refusal
of Christian missionaries to prac-
tice the gospel of equality in their
daily relationships, was cited at
the close of the Conference on
African Affairs at Lincoln Uni
versity last week as a barrier to
the success of promoting Christi
anity among natives Of the conti-
nent.
The preservation of segregat-
ed way of life by European and
African missionaries in their own
mission compounds" was referr-
ed to by participants in the three
day meeting as one practice that
turned Africans away from the
idealism preached by the Chris
tian teachers.
Three weeks of discussions
conducted by the University pro-
duced a number of African lead
ers, including the Gold Coasts
first Prime Minister, Kwame
Nkrumah.
Premier Ally Maher Of Egypt,
who is seeking economic and arms
aid for his country from the Unit
ed States, heads Egyptian gov
ernment for the fourth time as a
result of the military coup Of July
%. Independent and moderate
politically, he is believed favor
able toward the West. A member
of one of Egypt's wealtiest fami-
lies and pasha until all titles Of
nobility were abolished in Egypt
a month ago, in olden times his
rank would have permitted him
to fly three horsetails on his
standard. He was born in Cairo
in 1882, admitted to the Bar in
1905 after completing his studies
at Khedive School Of Law. Be-
came a judge two years later, and
entered politics more than 80
years ago. He was elected to the
Senate and served at various
times, as Minister of Education,
Justice and Finance.

oratory where veterans can OBJ
serve a diversified farming pro-
gram, as we'll as try out some
new practices.
The Gammons have four trac-
tors, a combine, a corn picker,
and a hay baler to maintain a
high level of efficiency of their
farm. Also they have a modern
two storey home equipped with
modern convenienceS, including
television set. Mrs. Cannon takes
pride in making her home sort
of sample of what a rural home
can be. It's what she dreamed Of
doing when she was a county
home demonstration agent at
Pine Bluff, Ark.
MIR. and Mrs. Cannon have
two youngsters, John 8; and Ida
Marie, 10. They are establishing
the kind of farm they will want
to pass on to them. In line with
agricultural trends in the South,
they are shifting more and more
to pasture development and live
stock production.
The Miami times., 1952-09-13

A colored agriculturist, who
resigned a government post to
return to the farm, is now gross
ing nearly $4,000 a year by
carrying out a diversified farm
ing program, says a report re-
ceived last week by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture from
District Agent T. r. Betton of the
Arkansas Extension Service.
The farmer is John Cannon,
Jr., who operates an 800-acre
farm at Marion, Ark, a COM
munity near MemphiSA Since his
return to the farm 16 years ago,
after SUCCESSFULLY holding various
important posts in agriculture
including teacher, farm analyst,
and area supervisor for the Re-
settlement Administration, he has
doubled the size of the family
farm and extended production.
In addition to cotton which his
father always grew, Mr.. Gam
mon began raising Soybeans,
truck crops, hogs, and beef cattle.
He and Mrs. Cannon did so well
with their balanced farming
system that they were chosen
statewide winners of the Live
at-home" contest as far back as
1941.
But the Gammons' interest in
rural improvement extends far
beyond their own farm. Among
other things, they have helped to
organize a cooperative which has
built a $4,000 gin; and Mr..
Cannon has sought to broaden
the participation of Negro farm
ers in the programs of the Ark
ansaS Farm Bureau Federation.
In 19 counties of the State,
colored farmers now buy their
fertilizer, as we'll as their liability
insurance, through the organiza-
ton. The former Government Of
ficial has served as president Of
the Negro division of the State
Farm Bureau for several years.
MIR. Cannon began farming in
1896, five years after graduation
from Arkansas State College. He
recalls that during his stay in
Government, he got to thinking
about his home farm as he went
about helping other farmers to
develop sound farming programs.
Finally he resigned and return
ed home and began helping his
father; later he bought 70 acres
from him and started farming on
his own, at the same time assist
ing with the operation Of the
whole farm. When his father re-
tired, he bought the rest OF the
190-acre farm and then added
another 100 acres to 1t.
Today, Mr.. and Mrs. Cannon
own $50 acres and rent 45O acres
more. About 400 acres are planted
to cotton. "You know, I'm a $3.50
farmer" says Mr.. Cannon. II

SOUTH AFRICA - DR.. J. S.

DR.. Moraga said one of the

suited thus far in the arrest of
more than 1000 volunteers, Is to
arouse the Africans in this coun-
try from their present apathy. He
said the response in Cape Pro-

in the Transvaal, fair. He ad-
mitted that in the other two parts
of the Union of South Africa -
the Orange Free State and Natal
the support from the Africans
has been below expectations. He
pointed out, however that the
membership of the African Ma
tional Congress has risen from a
scant 5000 to 100000 since the
defiance campaign began, and he
cited this as evidence OF the ex-
tent of the African awakening.

Farm Population
Declining

RALEIGH, N. c. - (P) - The
number of people living on farms
in the United States has been de-
cTeasing steadily since 1910, says
North Carolina State College ag-
ricultural economists.
The farm population is now about
what it was in 1900, although the
national population is about rs
million greater. The 1850 farm
population of 23,577,OOO was a drop
of approximately five million from
the 1910 total
