NEGRO VOCAL
GROUP TO Be
HERE SUNDAY

Sunday at 3 pm, a company of
unusually talented Negro singers
will appear at The First Baptist
Church, Beech Street, between
Third and State, in musical pro-
gram that promises to be not only
unique, but most interesting as
we'll.
These singers, % in number, are
known as the Shiloh Gospel
Chorus" and are from the Shiloh
Baptist Church, Lima, which Rev.
G. P. Purdue is pastor.
Their renditions are entirely
without instrumental accompani-
ment, thus enabling the listners
to enjoy all the rich depth, beauty,
fullness and matchless harmony
of we'll trained Negro Voices.
Their appearance here is spon-
sored by the willing Workers Club
of which Mrs. Amy Coleman of
First Baptist Church is president
and the entire affair is one of the
projects the church has adopted
in raising funds to liquidate it:
present Indebtedness.
Rev. Purdue will deliver briet
message, during the program, anc
a public offering will be requested
sometime before the close o
same.

Soil conditions in the Danbury
area are quite dry. However, I
saw some very nice tomatoes and
fruit trees looked very good too.
Many soybeans were not sprouting
and some had nodded in the dry
soil.
Then followed an Interesting OBJ
servation at the Luchsinger orch
ard. Bob Luchsinger was discing
in the ryegrass cover crop which
has laid on this orchard for or
years. The soil was in excellent
tilth being loose and crumbly. The
surprising thing was the high
moisture content. Apparently all
the organic matter built up from
the ryegrass holds moisture much
like sponge. 1t is available then
for release to the crop in dry

NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM

Our hats off to another girls
All club - this time the Busy
Bees from near Williston. Pat Chic
of that club came in with a fifteen
dollar donation to apply on the
new All building. The money was
saved from a float award earned
in the 1858 parade, at Oak Harbor
fair. Mrs. William Nissen is the
very capable advisor to the girls.
We are getting quite a few re-
quests about how to kill ants. If
ants are outside in the lawn or
flower beds use a $50 chlordane
dust. This material can be pur-
chased for less than twenty cents
per pound. Make a shaker from a
baking powder can. Chlordane in
one of the better insecticides and
is most dangerous. Controlling
ants in the home is where | eX-
pect controversy. There are lots
of things on the market that will
kill ants in the home, but they are
also dangerous to children and
pets. One of these my wife uses
and is called Terro. We had some
red ants last week. They Tapped
up this stuff in hurry then dis
appeared. A safer material but a
bit messy is the chlordane. Anoth-
er is lindane. think this can be
purchased in aerosol bomb form.
Spray where the ants travel.
On the subject of bugs - don't
forget to spray the bins where you
will store your new grain Buy a
liquid DOT and cut it to make $50
solution. Spray the bin thoroughly.
You'll be glad you did.

templates a body Of not more

would be appointed by a presi-
dent elected by the senate. The
executive council would have
broad powers in dealing with

ecutive council would be sub

peoples chamber or by cleo
ton Of q new president by the

council would make proposals
to the states, conclude trea-
ties, establish diplomatic re-
lationS with states and in
ternational organizations, pro-
pose the budget and control
the expenditures of the COM

member states by law OF the
community.
It is sometimes better. how
ever, to make q leap than a
step. The plans for the Euro
pean Political Community are q
leap over the inertia Of organ
lied society-vested interest
which so often has frustrated
attempted leaps in the past. In
this case. the dangers and UNI
certainties Of the times en-
couraged the Europeans to
yield to the pressures Of inter-
dependence by outlining closer
organization Of their countries.
The ferment Of unification and
integration has been fostered
by the United States. Ever
since the Marshall Plan was
put out, this country has per-
suasively advised the Euro
peans to get together by telling
1t to them in Mutual Security
Acts that carry appropriations.
Now there is at least an atmos-
phere Of Indignation.
But more interesting and
productive Of results is the
actual system of integration
which has grown UP. The
merging Of essential inter-
eStS" in a Supranational
framework that extends from
voting rights to taxation does
not look so venturesome when
placed alongside what already
has happened. The European
Political Community just adds
a little more to what already
exists. When 1t goes into OPP
Grafton it will merely be the
holding company of a series
of enterprises, communities"
that are not only interlocking
but have interchangeable
parts.

ropean Coal and Steel Com
