Visits In County

Can Madison County do it again,
ask those who are responsible for
the visits of the Blood Mobile to
the various parts of the area?
When the unit came to London
several weeks ago donors reSpon-
ded in such splendid way to the
appeals for volunteers, that Area
headquarters in Columbus sent a
highly commendatory letter to
Maurice Beathard, chairman of the
Blood Donor program for Madison
County Red Cross and Mrs. M Z.
Blackmore, executive secretary of
the chapter. One hundred and sixty
pints, an all time high were taken
back for the bank.
Now comes word that the mob
lie unit will be in Sedalia Monday,
February 20 at the School Audi
torium from IL to 5 o'clock. The
area to be covered on this visit
will include Mt. Sterling and South
Solon.
Mrs. Ned Davey is chairman of
the committee that is recruiting
for Sedalia; Mrs. Richard McKen-
zie for South Solon and Mrs.
George Gearhardt for Mt Sterl-
ing.
Then on February %, the unit
will pay a visit to West Jefferson,
volunteers to go to the Methodist
Church there between the hours of
IL and 5 o'clock. Francis Baker
is chairman for the West Jeffer-
son visit.
There is still great need for do
nations. "One thing we can't con-
troll" said Chairman Beathard, "is
illness" AS long as we live we'll
have sick folks, our own people
in hospitals and great need for
transfusions which are so costly
when services of professional dom
ors are necessary. And, "he contin-
ued," one never knows when ones
own family will be the one which
needs this great free service. Hen
ce it behooves all of us who can,
to come to the aid of each other
whenever the unit comes.
I'VE are deeply grateful for the
great success of the last visit and
only hope that the response will
measure up this month" conclu-
ded Chairman Beathard.

MONROVIA - (ANP) - The
growing suspicion that the Unit
ed States was making fast alb
ances with some of the most OPP
preSsive colonial powers while
giving lip service to the aspira-
tons of African people, came to
something of a head here last
week.
The current visit to Africa of

secretary of State for Africa and
the Near East during. which he
had close conferences with sew
eral of the top leaders in South
Africa, Portuguese East Africa,
Southern and Northern Rhodesia
and the Belgian Congo among
others has some of the African
countries, aspiring to escape from
the yoke of colonial bondage,
wondering just where America is
really standing.
Secretary Allen declared his
visit to South Africa was for the
purpose of "laying the founda-
tons for an African system of
defense but his widespread con-
facts with some of the most re-
dictionary governments on the
continent aroused quizzical ques-
tons.

at is easily appreciated that
America is caught in a dilemma
in her policy toward Africa. In
the first place her activities at
the United Nations on African
questions are indicative of the
fact that her strategy demands
compromise with the European
powers with which she has a
community of interests, as against
the sufferings and injustices OF
African peoples. So far as the
record of the United Nations Is
concerned, not once has America
voted against Britain or France
on any Africa issue though on
occasion she has abstained. The
truth is, as the Bible says, if you
are not for. me you are against
me.
C.. No doubt racial conditions
in America itself must influence
her foreign policy with Africans.

power on earth fail in her lead

Allen arrived in Liberia last
Wednesday and at dinner given
in his honor by Rudolph Grimes,
Liberia acting Secretary OF
State, said "the United States
would do everything possible to
make up for 100 years of our
neglect to do something for Lii
beria."
Ex-President c. d. B. King,

mel, which drains about 1900
acres in the area, would have
to be realigned and paved.
The change also would require
a large elevation project at the
intersection of Chillum and ALI
son road and. possibly, another
one on Arundel road between
Thirty and Thirty-first streets
in Mt. Rainier.
The county'S Flood Control
Committee which has fought for
the entire Sill million project for
years, foresees its completion in
June 1857.
Some committee members feel
a change would endanger the
future of the whole Northwest
Branch project leaving the
neighboring town of Mort h
Brentwood still without protec-
ton.
Why they ask, has Brentwood
raised objections to the plan at
the last minute after years of
silence?
Mayor Smith and Harry A.
Boswell, jr.. contend original
plans did not call for the levee
in its present location.
Vigorous objections to the
Brentwood plan have come from
Mt. Rainier officials. Mayor
Frederick J. Richardson con-
tends the proposed change would
place residences in the vicinity
of Arundel road behind a 10
to IL foot flood levee and bot
tie up water on the Thomas
Stone Elementary School play
ground, the towns only recrea-
ton center.
Any change could delay the
project for years because Con-
gress must approve additional
funds.

who want their pets to have the

Action on similar measures in

present only unlicensed dogs may
be picked up. Owners of licensed
dogs can be fined for letting
their pets out of their control.

A dispute is brewing among
Prince Georges County towns
over a proposal to alter levee
locations in the Anacostia River
Flood Control Project.
The proposal comes from
Brentwood where officials say
they did not realize until recently
that final spur in the flood
control levee network VII. cut
through part of the town.
The levee would go through a
four-acre tract where the Harry
A. Boswell Co. has announced it
would build a $750,000 apart
ment building of 80 units at the
intersection of Thirty-fourth
street and Window road.
Brentwood's Mayor William H
Smith contends the area is the
last in the town available for
development.
ReaIignment Asked
Brentwood officials are asking
a realignment of the levee to
extend west from Thirty-eighth
street into Mt. Rainier.
The realignment would involve
about 20 acres of land in Brent
