SPIRIT OF MEMPHIS

When a group of four young
boys, not out of their teens, stood
on the steps of a local church in
Memphis, Tenn, Is years ago and
enthralled the passers-by with
their harmonizing, they little
dreamed that they would devote
their lives to the art of singing
Gospel and Spiritual songs.
Then James Darling, one of the
group, suggested that they form a
quartet, which Immediately won
the approval of the others; and
this group of four formed the nu-
cleuS for this choral ensemble
which later augmented by three
more boys was to win national
fame under the name of the Spirit
OF Memphis Quartet.
By 1885 this group had moved
on to radio in which place ever
since they have filled a spot with
a local broadcasting company.
Today, with years of expert
ence behind them as a singing en-
semble, the Spirit of Memphis
Quartet stands as a beacon light
for Gospel singers the world over.
Their organ-like tones of harmony
are without parallel among seven
voice singing groups.
The Swan SilvertOnes
One of the most versatile sing
ing groups in the country today
are the Swan Silvertone singers
of Pittsburgh, Pa. Even though
their travels in the United States
have not been very extensive they
are fast becoming a threat to old
established groups.
The group was first organized
in 1886, shortly after organizing
in a small town in West Virginia
their talent was brought to the at
tention of the Swan Baking Com
pany. This company's promorfonal
manager was SO impressed with
their vocal artistry that they were

New Transmission Line Completion Promised for Oct. 1

High waters this week caught Wlggins construction workers be- tween the Matanuska and Knik rivers as they worked against tlme-and the rivers-to com plete the new Eklutna Project transmission line between Eklut- na and the Palmer sub-station be- fore the newest completion dead line, October l.
 In spite of this inconvenient, yet inexorable, rising of the wat CTS, Byron c. Felkner, Eklutna Project construction engineer, was confident that the transmits sion line would be completed and ready to be put in operation ac- cording to the latest revised plans. Difficulty in getting materials and other construction problems al- ready have delayed the originally scheduled completion of the pro- lect by ten months.
 With completion of the new line, losses of power experienced over the present hook-up will be eliminated. This will result in sav- irigs to the Matanuska Electric Association and more power avail able to its consumers. There will also be less .fluctuation in the voltage. Now flickering electric lights will burn with a steady glow.

C0NSER RVATION
 NOTES
Lew Hanks

Another Field Day at the Ex- pertinent Station has come and gone. We have had another look at new developments in Alaska agriculture. We are pretty fortun- ate here in being able to get the latest word on farming meth ods first-hand. The thing that im- presses me is the rate at which farmers adapt new methods and machines to their farming prac- ticeS. In a lot of places in the States, the big job is getting farmers to consider new methods. Here they're breathing down the neck of the Experiment Station boys all the time.
 Three years ago there was one field harvester in the Valley. It was at the Experiment Station. Now there are almost a dozen. Two years ago I heard Dr. Dear born give talk on sprayers. Now everyone talks about weed sprays. Last year the only potatoes spray ed for weeds were at the Station. This year a lot of the potatoes in the area were under spray con- trol. Things move fast here. Due to the press of work a lot of farmers were unable to attend this years Field Day. You can bet your hat though, that word will get aound. New things at the Station this season will be regu- lar farming practices in the. Val ley next year.
 We read a lot of half-baked statements in the papers and in articles every once in a while. They speculate on all the advanc- es the Russians are supposed to be making in sub-artic agricul- ture. I question of they're doing so hot. If they were, they would be bragging-they always do. If you really want to see some agri- cultural advances in sub-artic re- gions though, just drop out to the Station or talk to our local farmers.

Education

CHICAGO - Despite efforts in
recent years to break down racia!
segregation and discrimination in
colleges, minority groups still dc
not have an equal opportunity foI
education.
That fact was disclosed last week
in report by Miss Helen F. Amer,
man, of the University Of Chicago
at five-day conference on re
search in race relations at the
university.
Here are some of the facts pre-
sented in Miss Amerman's report
The school enrolment for the
white population far exceeds that
for non-white.
More than 90 per cent of the
381 Negroes who earned loctorates
between 1876 and 1943 were these
engaged in teaching.
There are gross inequalities in
segregation, between white anC
Negro schools. To equalize the
white and Negro elementary
schools in the South alone would
cost more than $500,OO0,0OO.
In medical schools, the Jewish
student has far less Glance 70,
admission than non-Jewish appli-
cants. Negroes are not admitted
at rs of the 70 approved medical
schools.
