NEW BADGE FOR GIRL SCOUTS

NEW YORK - A stepped-up
citizenship training program will
be offered the Girl Scouts in
1853. A new proficiency badge
called my Government" which
has been designed to enlarge the
Scouts knowledge Of local, state
and federal government, win be
introduced to the membership on
March IL, the 41st anniversary
of the founding of Girl Scouting
in the United States. Design Of
the badge shows the dome Of the
National Capitol.
The ."My Government" badge
is the first new proficiency award
made available to Girl Scouts
since 1913. Requirements for earn
ing the badge, considered one OF
the most important in the history
of Girl Scouting, include:

ing places for registration, pri-
maries and the coming election;
finding out about eligibility to vote
and absentee balloting.
Studying major duties of jobs
to be filled in the coming cleo
ton, appeals of the various par

MAU MAU AND
KINGS TROOPS
SPEED UP ACTION

NAIROBI, KENYA - CAMP
Fifty persons were killed in
Kenya last week as colonial
forces and Mau Mau terrorists
alike stepped up their activity.
Mau Mau raiders, in a new
wave Of terror, killed 20-pre-
government Africans and wound
ed four others in widespread
torsys. Kenya police and troops
killed 80 Africans and wounded
six in their rejuvenated drive to
stamp out the secret Mau Mau
cult which has vowed to drive
the white man from the terri
.ory.
Another nine Africans last week
Dwed their lives to the large
bundles they were carrying when
police opened fire on them. A
police patrol ambushed the Al
ricans in the Nyeri area firing
machine guns at them. When
hey captured them they found
that the provision packs on their
backs were riddled with bullet
holes.
The fifty deaths in the past
week are nearly one-sixth Of the
total killed since the emergency
oegan last October.

Editor Supports jimcrow
Schools In ole Miss

JACKSON, Miss. - (ANP) -
A Negro editor last week came
out for the continuance of jim
crow schools in Mississippi.
The defender of segregation is
Percy Greene, editor of the jack
son Advocate, weekly newspaper
who said in part:
at is our opinion that with an
equally good school in the Ne
gro community, comparing In
every way with that of the White
schools no Negro family in Mis-
Sissippi would then want to send
its children away from the Negro
school in the Negro community
across town to the school In the
White community just to be able
to say the children were going
to school with White children.
"We thing also that this is
position on which the intelligent
Negroes of the state are generally
agreed, despite the fact that they
also are of the opinion that seq
regation by law should be abol-
ished in Mississippi and through
out the nation for the good Of de-
mocracy, peace and world
brotherhood"
Editor Greene then went on to
say that nothing the U. S. Su-
preme Court does will change the
pattern of Mississippi and other
southern communities"
In conclusion, he praised a
speech made by Gov. Hugh White
before an audience in the all-Ne-
gro town of Mound Bayou. At
that time, the Mississippi chief
executive promised that segrega-
ton would be continued, but the
dual system equalized without
delay.
Whites address repeatedly re-
ceived comment from Negroes

federal taxes. They should un-
derstand the duties and obliga-
tons of citizens. In addition, they
are required to study the Decla-
r"tion of independence. the Pre-
amble to the u. S. Constitution
and the Bill Of Rights and to re-
late these basic documents to the
welfare OF the individual and the
country.
The MY Government" badge
has been planned as logical out
growth of the highly successful
Aides to Voters program In which
almost 100000 Girl Scouts took
part during the national election
last fall. Participation In the pro-
gram is urged upon all girls seek
ing to earn the new badge, as
well as those who may already
have earned the right TO wear it.

AFRICAN CHIEFS
CAN'T SEE QUEEN

LONDON, ENGLAND (ANP)
Nearly a half dozen African
chieftains. here to protest against
the federation of their country
Nvasaland - with Southern and
Northern Rhodesia, won't be able
to see Queen Elizabeth of Eng
land.
They were informed last week
by Colonial Secretary Sir Oliver
Lyttleton that he would not adj
wise the Queen to see them.
Immediately following the re-
fusal to see the Queen the native
chiefs had published a seven page
petition to the Queen" in long
and courtly language. The pc
tition expressed their loyalty to
Her majesty and stated reasons
why they objected to a fedora
ton between the three lands.
They fear that federation will
mean that their land will be
taken away by the Europeans.
Land is the likelihood of the At
rican people," the petition de-
clared. "If our land is taken away
not only our living but our in
dependence will be taken away.
We would be reduced to the state
IF hewers of wood and drawers
of water for the European en-
9loyer."
Federation" the petition adds
lis another name for political
dominance by European settlers
- and the African has seen how
that political dominance has OPP
Grated in the Union of South
Africa"

and still make economical gains
later when they receive ample
feed.
AS one part of much broader
experiment, one of pair of iden-
teal twin Aberdeen Angus steers
was placed on low-energy rat
ion-only enough to maintain body
weight-while his co-twin was
fed a liberal ration that provided
for one and one-half pounds of
gain, daily. This feeding schedule
was begun when the twins were
six months old and continued for
six months.
AT the beginning of the period
each twin weighed about 800
pounds. At the end of the six
months, the twin on short rationS
weighed $40 pounds, while his
well-fed brother weighed 6l8
pounds. The lighter twin was then
placed on a liberal ration and the
other was allowed to continue
with a similar liberal ration. After
another seven months, the heavier
twin had reached the weight de-
cided upon for slaughter, 1000
pounds, and his retarded twin.
weighed $50 pounds. 1t took only
20 days more for the second twin
to reach the l.OOO-pound slaughter
weight.
The surprising thing about the
experiment, aCComdins 10 the re-
search workers. was the discovery
that each off the twins required
about the same total amount of
feed to reach 1000 pounds. even
though one lived 20 days longer
than the other This indicates that
a high level of efficiency in feed
utilization is attained by animals
that have been on short rations.
so that they gain weight very
rapidly when hey are restored to
a liberal allowance.
And the meet from these animals
showed no definite difference in
quality.
