Shaw Appoints
New Grid Coach

RALEIGH, N. c., July 6-An-
nouncement was made Tuesday
that Robert Duke Brown, the mir
acle man" of Morris College, will
begin at Shaw University as its
head football coach next fall. Mr..
Brown will replace Coach Brutus
Wilson, who piloted the Shaw
teams until recently when the uni
versity failed to renew his con-
tract.
The new Shaw coach acquired the
nickname, Miracle Man" in light
of the stellar achievements Morris
College made in athletics under his
guidance. Upon going to Morris in
1949, the team there had only won
one game the previous season in
nine starts and had scored only
IL points.
The following season, under
Coach Brown, and his split-T sys-
tenn, the team won eight games and
lost one, scoring 222 points with
the opposition getting 81.

Twenty years ago, relatively
few American families could af-
ford to take a vacation away from
home. Today, thanks to paid vaca-
ton allowances, higher year-round
wages, and easier means of trans
portation, vacation trips are within
the means of an increasing num-
Der of wage earners.
Low cost vacations take careful
budgeting in these days of high
living costs-but it can be done.
If you can afford to use all of your
vacation allowance-and for most
union members it comes to two or
three weeks pay your family
should be able to spend at least one
week away from home. This won't
give you enough to stay in fancy
resort, or even escape cooking
meals, but it can provide for the
whole family chance to get away
from household routine, enjoy the
out-of- doors, and explore new
places together.

ALPA Asks
Safety Rule

Chicago. - The AFL Air Line
Pilots Association has asked the
Civil Aeronautics Board to enforce
strictly the eight-hour safety limit
on pilot flying hours.
c. N. Sayen, ALPA president,
told the CAB in a letter that Am
erican AiTlines is trying to mis-
lead the board with a request for
exemption by waiver on transcon-
tinental flights.
Sayen said the waiver request
was an attempt Ito make legal the
illegal operations they have been
conducting for the past six months
on their Oct nonstop westbound
flights"
"Individual flights operated by
American Airlines from New York
to Los Angeles in recent months
have resulted in pilots flying as
much as 10 hours, IS minutes, on q
single flight" said Sayen.
1.-THE requested waiver will ex-
tend this and result in pilots flying
as many as ID and Is hours in one
assignment 1t takes only one such
flight to cause a disastrous acct
dent"
United and TWA, competitors Of
American, have asked for equal
consideration on the waiver request
for schedules they are planning to
match the American flights.
Such a competitive trend, the
ALP contends, will lower safety
standards throughout the industry
by permitting pilots to be flown to
dangerous fatigue limits.

u. s. VACATION SPOTS

In planning a vacation itinerary
you may find it a good bet to take
advantage of federal and state
recreation areas, rather than pay
higher tourist rates at private re-
sorts.
Federally owned recreation areas
include the national parks, ma
tional forests and lake develop
ments near nationally owned dams
and reservoirs. Although some of
these parks are maintained pri-
marily for conservation and land
reclamation, many have overnight
cabins and camp sites.
In addition to these vacation
spots, there are a variety OF ma
tional historic sites, Indian reser-
vations, and national monuments
and backgrounds which are ideal
for one-day excursions.
While most state parks may not
provide the scenic grandeur OF the
famous national parks, such as
Carlsbad Caverns or Grand Can
yon, they generally furnish
greater variety of recreational &C
tivities including swimming, fish
ing, rowing, golf, and horseback
riding.
Costs and. types of accommoda-
tons vary from state to state, but
most often include campsites for
tents and trailers, sleeping cabins,
and housekeeping cabins. Bedding
and towels are supplied, and for
housekeeping cabins, dishes and
cooking utensils are also included.

THE COVER. We doubt very much if you
can identify the breed of the raffish little dog
ON our cover. so we're going to tell you right
off to save you the trouble. He's Sydney
Silky Terrier named Redway Blue Boy - or
simply Reddy to his owner. Mrs. Margaret
Smith, of Miami. Fla. The Sydney Silky is
rare breed in the United States, where, we're
told, there are only about 80 of them. They're
distantly related to the Yorkshire Terrier, and
their principal barking grounds are (as you
may have guessed) in Australia, where they
are very popular.
The Sydney Silky, which to most dog lovers
looks like plain scraggly mutt, is not listed
by the American Kennel Club. However,
the few who own them hope that their popu-
larity and numbers will increase to the point
that Axe will offer them official registration.
THE BEST TEACHER. A Kentucky resi-
dent we've heard about was recently feted for
having reached his Tooth birthday. One friend
approached him and said, Uncle Alvin, how
does it happen that you're 50 wiser"
Because I've got good judgment, the old
fellow replied. Good judgment comes from
experience. and experience - well, that comes
from poor judgment"

had cleared the forest from these stony hills,
and several generations of them had extracted
their living from these steep and difficult
slopes. Recalling all this, I found that the
problems of later life quickly diminished when
set in the perspective of wide horizon. just
to think of the everlasting hills has way of
putting man and his problems in their proper
place.
Here, at 80, after full and happy life,

Drastic Crop Curbs
To Reduce Surp|uses
Launched by Benson

Agriculture Secretary Benson
has launched what may be the
strictest crop controls program
ever in an attempt to cut back
steadily mounting farm sur
pluses.
Mr.. Benson said yesterday he
greatly regrets" the necessity
for the program, but added that
under present surplus condi-
tionS 1--WE have no immediate
choice" but to take these steps:
/. Cut back wheat planting
for the 1855 crop by another Is
per cent on top of a II per cent
cutback announced earlier.
2. Impose individual planting
allotments in 1855 for wheat.
cotton, corn, tobacco, peanuts
and sugar, and impose strict
penalties on farmers who fail
to comply.
The Government now has
about $6.5 billion invested in
surpluSeS. mainly wheat, cotton,
corn and dairy products.
Penalty for Non Compliance.
Under the program, farmers
must comply with Federal plant
ing restrictions on all crops for
which allotments are made in
order to qualify for price sup
ports. If they fail to comply in
the case of any one crop, they
will lose price support aid on all
crops they plant.
The new program is designed
to reduce total paintings by
about 40 million acres. or one
eighth, below 1913. It is also
planned to stop a practice pos
sible under the 1853 program
whereby a farmer could divert
acreage from crops under allot-
ment and put his land into other
surplus crops without losing sup
ports.
2 Million Farms Affected.
Mr.. Benson estimated that up
ward of 2 million farms would be
affected by the overall control
program.
The wheat program set a 1855
national planting allotment of
SIS million acres, compared with
SO million allotted this year and
10 million planted for the 1853
crop.
The new wheat allotment is
the minimum permitted by law.
Mr.. Benson said the wheat sup
ply is so large that If it were not
for this minimum, only 10 mill
lion acres would need to be al
lotted for wheat next year.
The wheat reserve is estimated
at 875 million bushels. This
years crop will add / billion
bushels to the supply. Market
demands for the crop year may
not exceed 900 million bushels.
