out of business. The trend is to-
ward large mechanical farms.
forecast that this trend will con-
tinue. The stubborn farmer simply
cannot compete, over the long
term, with the low-cost mass
production methods of the modern
mechanical farm. He has not suffi-
cient land and will not buy the
necessary equipment.
Income Decline Hits Small
Farmers Hardest
Farm income has declined on
average about $50 since 1851. This
decline has been felt by all farmers,
but particularly by the smaller
operators whose costs are high.
Some have had to close up shop.
Those in the Dust Bowl area were
dealt another severe blow recently
when Federal Crop Insurance was
discontinued in certain sections.
Withdrawal of this insurance will
be felt especially by the small
marginal farmer. Banks which
heretofore have been willing to
make loans to marginal farmers
with crop insurance protection are
now neither willing nor able to
risk their debtors funds. Someday
it may be possible to predict and
control the weather. This should be
a great help to the farmer. but
would apply only to production,
not to demand.
Government acreage control has
helped the small farmer compete
against his bigger brother to the
extent that the large mechanical
operator has been forced to re-

Ninety Day Blunder

Every so often, u. S. citizens
are confronted with dramatic evil
dence that the sole goal in life
for many of the powers that be
in Washington is to revive vaude-
vile.
Such was the case of Edward
Corsi, aspiring New York politi-
clan, international do-gooder and
immigration expert who spent so
hectic days in Washington (and
80 more in Western Europe) try
ing, as he testified before Senator
Langer's subcommittee, ito liber-
alize the McCarranWal Act. -
Mr.. Corsi landed in Washington
on the wrong foot and he never
got off it, except for his brief ap-
pearances before the Senate when
he placed it in his mouth.
Losing all sight of the fact that
the Refugee Program, as spelled
out by Congress, was not intended
to become treadmill between
Europe, and the u. S., Mr.. Corsi
apparently was hoping for a mass
Importation of Europeans-immedi-
ately and without any regard for
the interests of the u. S. or whe-
Their Europeans wanted to come to
this nation in the first place.
Frustrated and defeated in his
efforts to legislate by edict, Mr..
Corsi tried the inevitable. He cas-
tigated everyone who stood in his
way. including Secretary of State
Dulles, r. w. Scott Mcleod, the
administrator of the Refugee pro-
gram, Congress and even the
White House. In so doing he dis
played a degree of Incorporate
ness rarely matched in Washing
ton-and also indicated beyond
reasonable doubt that he never
bothered to read the Act he was
supposed to help administer.
He denied also that he was after
McLeod's job; yet he admitted that
he wanted to control most of the
functions of that job. He denied
that he had any "animus" toward
Secretary Dulles, yet he accused
Mr.. Dulles of stabbing him in the
back. He claimed close harmony
with the White House, but admitted
he had never even been there. He
boosted of strong Dewey support,
but the former Governor of New
York disavowed any knowledge OF
Corsi's activities.
AS the hearings over his firing
by Mr. Dulles drew to a close last
week only one thing stood out in
perfect clarity.

cans and Democrats together-will
have to enact new refugee pro-

Another Noble Experiment
York.

NUUtt
Former President Herbert Hoo
yer does not believe that the UN
charter can be effectively amended
at this time because of the weight
of the Communists in the Security
Council, he told Senate Foreign
Relations subcommittee. On this
point, he will doubtless find millions
of his countrymen in agreement.
But, while Mr.. Hoover admits
that the UN "has not fulfilled our
hopes, he would not terminate
the institution, nor withdraw from
it. II have no notion, he said, that
we can abandon any organization
of nations that make for peace"
All of which recalls that Presi-
dent Hoover was similarly I'M
enthusiastic some years back over
the Eighteenth Amendment and
described it in letter to Senator
Borah as "a great social and eco
nomic experiment, noble in motive
and far-reaching in purpose.
The Best For B0ssy -.
Maybe it never occurred to you
that a good nights sleep for Bossy
down on the farm has some infiu-
ence on the quality of milk your
younsters drink.
Dairy experts long ago recog-
nized the fact that living environ
ment directly affects milk produc-
ton and quality.
Now, out in Castalia, Ohio, they've
started a long-range study to de-
termine exactly how and why the
cow reacts to certain living condi-
tons and to ascertain what con-
ditions are apt to produce most
| favorable results in milk produc-
ton and quality.
Interesting as the proposed
program is, most of us who re-
member barns generally as dark,
uninviting caverns are apt to be
most impressed by the structure
which is home to this experimental
herd of SIS heifers selected from top
dairy herds of the states welfare
| farms.
It's new 100000 barn given to
the state of Ohio by Charities
Foundation through gift from
William r. Lewis, Toledo glass

This two-story structure, 200
feet by so with 60-foot wing, has
the most modern facilities under
which cattle can live and be studied

walls of glass block and fiat glass
help to transmit the outer day
light to the deepest recesses OF the
barn. Approximately half the herd,
however, will live in deluxe open
shed, bisected by feed alley and
equipped with electrically warmed
automatic water bowls. The pur-
pose of all this elegance, you see,
is to study the effect of housing,
feeding and handling on milk pro-
duction and dairy herd improve
ment, a seriously worthwhile and
far-reaching project.
For the time when the SIS heifers
go into production, glass-enclosed
milking parlor is provided so that
visitors can observe the handling
of the cows at milking time. The
barn also has a special maternity
section with individual, large stalls
for cows and their offspring to
keep them separated from the rest
of the herd.
We understand that the new
350-acre Central Satisfaction re-
tural Experiment Station Tin Erie
County,, which is the setting for
this super-barn, will also provide
facilities for wildlife research, es-
pecially with ducks, pheasants and
muskrats.

World Trade-A TwO.Way Street
Recently, President Eisenhower
warned that the fight against COM
munism would be lost unless freer
world trade was achieved. The
President was speaking on be-
half of his reciprocal trade agree
ments program, which won in the
House but has been encountering
difficulty in the Senate.
The President said: Unless we
make it possible, through en-
lightened methods, for the free
world to trade more freely among
the several parts of that free world
we are not going to win the ideo-
logical battle" with communism
An instance of the curbing OF
free import-export trade is the
current attempt now before Con-
gress to place restrictive quota
on Venezuelan oil sold in this
country. Venezuela is a staunch
ally of the United State, rendering
able support in World War II

Dear Friends:
Dawn and l walked to West
Avondale School this morning and
visited on the way with all the
girls in the yards hanging up their
Mondays wash. 1t was wonderful
day, bright and sunny. And a
wonderful day for all parents of
first and second grade children,
thanks to DR.. Jonas Salk. This was
the morning designated for the
first two grades in Topeka to get
their initial polio incubation.
/ was assigned to help Lynne's
teacher take her students for their
shots. Four schools reported to
East Avondale School where the
doctors and nurses were assembled
to do their angel of mercy job. We
boarded the bus for the other
school at ten o'clock. The thirty
students were quiet riding over and
sat there with a lump in my
throat thinking how long we all
had waited for this ride. For eight
summers, ever since Lynne ar
rived in this world, we, Hayes and
and cur parents have dreaded
each summer because of the Grip
ping disease of polio.
Summer of 1852 seemed to be
the darkest in my memory. We,
that summer were stationed in
Houston, Texas and that year thew
had an epidemic. Our parents read
about it in their Delaware papers
so there was no way of our keep
ing it a secret from them, but they
didn't know that cases seemed to
pop up all around us. Each morn
ing we would read the papers in
fear and hesitantly ask natives of
Houston how near us the current
cases lived Both girls got gamma

HURTING YOURSELF


Speakers before the Greater New York
Safety Council convention warned that there
are hazards to the do-it-yourself fad. They
pointed out that carelessness in tinkering can
result in poisoning from insecticides, fatal
electrical shocks, falls, manning by power
tools, explosions of wood or varnish dust
About 100000 persons in this country suffer
disabling injuries from such accidents every
year.
There is certain satisfaction in being
able to handle a do-it-yourself project 1t is
sometimes an economical way to get par
ticular job done. But it is highly important
that the fellow tackling such tasks knows
what he is doing and observes safety precau-
tons.
The home handyman is sometimes too
sure of himself, ashamed to ask advice from
experts. AS a result he sometimes takes
risks that no professional doing the same job
would think of taking. Do-it-yourself can be
way of relaxation or it can be formula
for costly. painful accidents. 1t depends on
TIE individual.

for solving future problems. The
YWCA has kept it's eyes unfalter-
ingly on the Christian ideal THAT
they might have life and that they
might have it more abundantly,"
and sometimes slowly and hest
tatingly, sometimes with eager
pace, has moved forward. There
have been trials, momentous OBJ
stacles even persecution mis-
takes, and fumblings, but the pur-
pose is constant and the JOY un-
ending.
On the threshold of its second
century, the wide outreach of the
YWCA is concern for the lives of
women and girls everywhere
makes criteria for the determining
of program and emphases neces-
sary. The YWCA, unlike most
social agencies, is not organized
to provide some particular pro-
gram or to perform some particular
service. 1t exists to carry out its
Christian purpose, principally with
girls and women, in whatever ways
are best suited to the time and
place. Change is a dominant char
acteristic; and the YWCA must.
within the bounds of finance and
administration, take on new pro-
grams, accept new opportunities,
and abandon old less-needed work
There is great challenge ahead for
the YWCA. When people work to-
gether for common ends, under
standing and appreciation of diff
ference follow. To minimize the
difficulties would be foolish. but
the reward of courage and high en-
deavor seems to be more opportun-
ity for such endeavor, requirSg
in turn more courage and faith
and hope.
It is now that we recall this
promise: "But they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run and not be
weary; and they shall walk and not
faint"

New York State
Baptist Prexy
Is FuneraIized

NEW YORK, N. Y. = Funeral
services were held last week at
the Union Baptist church in Har-
lem for the Rev. George H. Sims,
ST., president of the Empire Bap-
fist Missionary Convention. Bur-
ial was in the family lot in Cum
berland, Va.
DR.. Sims died at his home. He
had been president of the State
convention since 1912 and last year
did not actively lead the annual
meeting for the first time.
Born in Cumberland, Va, in
April, 1871, he was the first Negro
to build Baptist church in New
York on 63rd Street, in 1905. He
was an original member of the
New York State Commission
Against Discrimination, being ap-
pointed by former Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey. Long a leader in his de-
nomination, he was a member of
the Baptist Educational Center of
New York City and was president
OF the Negro Auxiliary of the New
York Baptist Association. He was
also a trustee of Virginian semi
nary.
Surviving are a widow, Mrs.
Louise Sims; two daughters, Edith
P. Sims and Mrs. Ariel Sims, and
a son, G. H. Sims, Jr., who was
assistant pastor of his fathers
church, and had been acting pastor
since his illness.

National Urban
League Guidance
Institutes

NEW YORK, (Global) - In an
effort to "help lift the occupational
horizons of Negro youth and to
assure them of the assistance of
responsible adult groups" the Ma
tional Urban League has announ-
ced that Guidance Institutes will
be held this spring in Memphis,
Tennessee; Kansas City, Missouri;
and Gary, Indiana.
The Institutes, which will be
called "Jobs and Careers Pro-
gram" are ,.co-sponsored by the
Supreme Councils of the Northern
and Southern Jurisdictions, An
cient and Accepted Scottish Rite
of Free-masonry prince Hall AZ
filiation) and the National Urban
League. Begun in 1853, the pro-
gram was developed in recognition
of the need in all sections of the
country to stimulate the interest
of parents, educators and civic
leaders in helping Negro youth
into more significant and reward
ing careers. Last year more than
5000 youth took part in the Ca
reer Planning Institutes co-spon-
sored by the Prince Hall and local
Masons in St. Louis, Cleveland and
Birmingham.
DR.. F. D. Patterson, former pres
ident of Tuskegee Institute, speak
ing at the 1853 Institute in Birm-
ingham said: "For too long we
have worked merely at the fringes
of opportunity. The time has come
now to join the main stream of
American life. We haven't scratch
ed the surface yet in terms of what
we can do to create opportunities
for ourselves and for others"
The Institutes will be held as
follows: March 10 and 20 in Kan
sas City, Mo. with Elmer R. Dot
son, Deputy Grand Master, Prince
Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri serv-
ing as General Chairman; March
Is and 27 in Memphis, with Char
les F. Williams, Grand Master,
Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ten
nessee as General Chairman; and
April 1924 in Gary with Thomas
G. Welch, Commanding Chief,
Magic City Consistory as General
Chairman. In each city the first
day will feature a public meet
ing for the Masons and other
adults to give them a keener in
sight into their responsibility to
youth.

persons who were led to our doors
by the third ward Republican Com
mitteeman. The Official Board Of
the Olivet Baptist Church had de.
cided to follow strictly, the rules
of the Baptist Church, admitting
none into the annual meeting who
were not bona-fide members. This
announcement was made a month
in advance Of the meeting. 1t is
the policy of the Olivet Baptist
Church to have registration every
year, and to issue membership
cards. Members were admitted by
membership cards, or by the iden-
tification Of the clerk of the
Church. Those who entered with
out cards, and who could not be
identified by the clerk of the
church, were not admitted to our
meeting. The fact that the group
led by the third ward Republican
Committeeman was creating some
disturbance outside of the meeting,
was doubtless symbolic of the fact
of the growth of the Olivet Bap-
fist Church in the last few years.
Fortunately, the church has grown
away from the influence, control
and domination of ward and parti-
san politics, and is putting greater
stress of the spiritual significance
Of community life. and the impor-
lance of personal religious expert
ence. No fellowship could hold
together as the Olivet Baptist
Church is holding together, and do
its work with almost unanimous
decision in time like this, unless
influenced and led by the spirit of

Washington
Players ToPresent
Shakespeare's
julius Caesar At
Jackson College

Players Incorporated of Wash
ington, D. c., will present (Shakes-
peare's Julius Caesar') at B. B.
Dansby Auditorium, Jackson Col
lege at 800 pm, Wednesday Janu-
airy 26, it was announced today by
Thomas J. Ballentine, chairman of
the Jackson College Lyceum Asso-
citation, which is sponsoring the
event.
In five seasons of touring the
nation, Players incorporated has
given more than 500 performances
of Shakespeare's much Ado About
Nothing, "Othello", Macbeth,
"Twelfth Night, and Loves
Labour's Lost, George Bernard
Shaw's "Arms and the Man." and
Moliere's School for Wives" and
THE Miser."
Now, in their sixth annual tour,
they are offering two new produc-
tions, Shakespeare's great Julius
Caesar" and Moliere's hilarious
comedy, "The Would-Be Gentle
man."
All members of the company are
former students of the famous
Speech and Drama Department of
The Catholic University of Am
erica, Washington, d. c., noted for
the Many Broadway hits which
have originated from its University
Theater. The C. U. department is
under the direction of Father Gill
bert Y. Hartke, 0. P, one of the
most prominent figures in the Am
erican theater today.
From San Antonio, Texas, to
Burlington, Vermont, the Players
have toured major cities and small
towns. They have played before
seasoned theater-goers and before
people who had never before seen
a professional production. Whether
on an opera house stage in st.
Louis or in quonset hut in New
ton, Massachusetts,, they have
given Shakespeare, Shaw and
Moliere to receptive, eager and en-
thusiastic audiences.
The goal of Players Incorporated
is to bring back to the American
scene the travelling repertory COM
pany. Many outstanding theatrical
personalities have long lamented
the death of the road companies.
BY pioneering anew, the Players
have revitalized a theater world
too long centered in one city.
The acclaim lavished on the COM
pany in five seasons of nationwide
touring-and the increasingly large
audiences which turn out to see
them every year-indicate the sue
cess of their venture.
The Players still regard their
tours of the Far East Command
during the Korean War as the
high points Of their history. Under
the auspices Of the Department Of
Defense, they made six-week
circuit of Japan and Korea in 1852
to entertain battle-weary CTS, and
another longer tour in 1853.
Before each of these tours they
were received at the White House
and given a personal sendoff by the
President of the United States.
Ballentine, general chairman Of
the sponsoring committee, is as
sisted by w. o. Robinson, publicity
director, and Bernice A. Dukes,
business manager. For further in
formation, call 5-4991.

presumed the recent hurricane
which brought disaster to much of

decision to curtail this tour.
In Washington, the Haitian pres
