Swanton Mine
Is Re Inspected

Elimination of an unsafe roof
condition along the main haulage
road, use Of incombustible material
for stcmming borcholcs, and ade-
quate rock-dusting of mine surfaces
that were not definitely wet have
been urged by the U. S. Bureau of
Mines in Federal inspection report
released for the Virts Coal COM
pany'S Shank No. mine near
Swanton.
The 5-man mine averaged 20 tons
.of coal daily when inspected recent
ly by 7. J Ward
The Federal Inspector recon-
mendod improved surface explosives
storage facilities, installation Of q
mechanical means of circulating air
through the mine, adequate fire
fighting facilities, and the wearing
Of goggles by workmcn exposed to
EYE hazards.
Other suggestions called for sew
cral haulage and electrical better
ments and removal Of an excessive
amount Of water from the alternate
escapewaY.
Ward also warned against the
use of open lights and smoking
underground.

MANAGEMENT: Food largely in
furious insects during summer;
weed seeds in winter. Thrives best
where there is a well distributed
pattern of rather dense cover
throughout the crop land areas.
Border or edge paintings of the
shrub lespedeza, the sericea, and
the annual lespedeza provide both
food and cover when planted in
narrow strips. Winter food patch
paintings of soybeans, cowpeas,
millet, milo, and kafir corn are
effective providing nearby areas of
good cover are present. Narrow
strips of grain left standing along
the woods edges at harvest time
will do much to carry the birds
through the wintertime.
VALUE: A favorite game bird;
perhaps no other wild bird to which
Maryland people are more indebt-
ed; delights in the farm; friend
and companion of man; destroyer
of weeds and injurious insects.

Blasts 'Porsy And Bess'
As Beinq Too Sexy

Los Angeles --- CAMP --"Por-
gy and Bess' ran into criticism
here last week when an objection
was raised over some scenes.
The management of the Los
Angeles Philharmonic auditorium,
where the folk opera was present
ed. objected to some of the scenes
on the grounds they were too
sexy." The management asked
Robert Breen. director and CO.
producer of the show. to tone
down some of the scenes. Breen.
however. refused to do this.
This show has played without
protest for Is years" Breen said.
The u. s. State department
sponsored our European tour as
a cultural venture. Boston and
Philadelphia didn't object, and It's
ironic that our first criticism
should come from Hollywood. of
all places"
Breen refused to make the
changes after comforting with Ira

George who wrote the opera.

Marvin Griffin Is politician
and what men say who are run

too seriously. But Marvin Griffin
is saying what some white people

Those who think what Mr.. Grit
fin Is saying will turn out to be
wrong. When segregation goes
white students will matriculate in

Negro students will enroll in what

Negroes who believe that all Me-

colleges when segregation goes
are suffering with a bad case of
inferiority complex. White people
who think this way, have AN in

and underrate the Negroes sense
of values.

that nothing Negroes have built
up is good enough to survive II
they can participate in something
that white people have built up.

students have gone to Wilberforce

pages before that Negro students
are now registered from every
State in the Union In Negro col
leges in the South. Thirty states
are represented in the Morehouse
student body. Fisk has Just grad

has recently had white students
enrolled and white students have
graduated from Talladega. How
