Frank Hudson
Added To Staff
In Pri nee Edward

Frank Hudson, soil conserva-
zionist. has joined the Prince Ed
ward Soil Conservation depart
ment He will be associated with
II. +. Lacy in developing the
program in this county. Special
attention will be given to estab-
fishing conservation practices in
the Buffalo Watershed area
Mr. Hudson has been conserva-
ZIONIST in Cumberland county for
several years. after serving several
other counties in the SouthSide
Conservation district.
For the next six months conser-
walton efforts in Prince Edward
will be concentrated on the Buff
falo Watershed. Lacy, conserva-
zionist for Prince Edward said.
This area has been tentatively
approved by the State Water Con-
servation Commission for assist
ance in flood control and water
conservation but has been assigned
no priority.
More Practices Needed
r. Leland Crouch, executive Of
ficcr of State Commission. stat
ed that since proper soil conserva-
ton measures on the lands of any
watershed are key to the sue
ceSsful operation of a watershed
protection and flood prevention
program. it is necessary to get
large portion of the area under
good conservation practices. He
urged citizens here to work to-
ward this end before applying fur
Their for a priority in executing
the water conservation work.
At present the silt from lands
in the watershed area would rem
der ineffective water o Mt +
measures and until this has been
cleared up the State Committee
would be unable to assign pri
ority for further engineering work
Watershed Area
The Buffalo watershed includes
about half Of Prince Edward
county bounded by the roads from
Farmville to Kingsville, to Hamp-
dem Sydney. to Abilene. to Pam
pin. and Route 400 to Farmvllle, (
1t is thought that a considerable
amount of lowlands can be re- /
claimed and the supply of water
for municipal use at Farmville be
conserved and assured. Interest
in the project is widespread in
the county
Association Formed
r Dayton Dillon. of Darlington
Heights. is chairman of a perman-
ent county watershed committee
formed in June 1855 Other off
GERS are J II Wick, viCe-chair-
man and J. B Wall, secretary
hese officers with p T Atkinson
and George Cocks compose the
local committee.
Preliminary surveys were made
in August 1855 by teChnicians of
the State Water Conservation
Commission which led to provis-
ional approval of the project. The
survey indicated that more land
in the watershed must be placed
under soil conservation measures
to assure success of the plans for
water conservation
Meetings of land owners in the
area last wear revealed interest
and cooperation.
1T is hoped and expected that
by special effort IN this area we
may obtain enough soil conserva-
ton practices TO make possible
the water conservation program.
Lacy stated The special effort
will be made during the next six
month.

nigerians Warned
On coIoniaIism

Lagos, Nigeria, Aug. 8-Dr. X.
o. Mbadiwe, Federal Minister Of
Communications in Nigeria, said
Wednesday that, Lomax-Boyd,
British Colonial Secretary in Lon
don had used a big stick to re-
mind Nigerians that they were
still colonial people.
He was retired to Lennox- Boyd's
announcement on July "a of a COM
mission of injury to investigate
charges that had been made about
the conduct of the African CONT
mental Bank. DR.. Azikiwe, Premier
of Eastern Nigeria, founded the
Bank and dispute has arisen be-
tween him and the British Govern
ment.
DR.. Mbadiwe said that without
consulting the Federal Government
Mr.. Lennox- Boyd had transferred
responsibility to it and had acted
on the Governments behalf with
out its consent. The main dis
pute is over usurpation of author
ity of the Eastern Region.

Said one, a barber who also is a
pastor: "I've been watching this
carefully. l think Eisenhower
should remain in office for another
term to finish his program"
Said the man in the BARRIERS
chair, a lifelong Democrat: 81
would vote for Ike this time, but
| didn't last time"

There were $4,000 people in the

to vote Republican than last time"

poll at best, provides only frag-
mentary evidence. But il may
provide q clue to what the Negro
Is thinking. The heavy majority
voted Democratic and had for
years.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, who had
made Democrats out of most of
them, was described with superls-
tives as zone of the greatest Pres
idents We ever had. He was the
most liberal, the one who did the
most for the people. for the minor
ity groups"
Roosevelt? That's the man for
me. II he was alive today, he'd
have my vote"
"Best man we ever had; 100 per
cent for the people. A man of
means, but he helped the people"
And one woman, a postal en-
ployee, said: "In my time the only
President, the greatest President. !"
But when / talked with these
people who remain welded to the
Democratic Party and Roosevelt
policies it appeared that it is what
they feel Roosevelt did for them
economically that is paramount in
their thought. Roosevelt and the
Democrats fed them, raised them
out of poverty-they believe-and
that's what is so important to the
Negro voters.
Roosevelt kept Us from starv-
ing" one man said. "You know
how bad it was during the depres-
sion? l was just little fellow,
living in Mississippi. My folks
raised chickens. Once l carried
two chickens, weighing 2k pounds
each, for seven miles to market.
And what did get? Twenty-Five
cents apiece"
Civil rights? Of course, they
are interested, vitality interested,
in this issue.
But one woman expressed the
sentiment of many when she said:
We're working people. And we
think Mr.. Eisenhower is doing
fine job. But what did the Re-
publican Party ever do for the
working people. Ike is good
man, but he is a Republican. We
don't feel civil rights have i'm
proved much in either party. So
well vote for our pocketbook.
Another said: 1.-THE Negro will
be having trouble being a second
class citizen for years-way after
you and | are gone. Neither party
does much, so I'll stay Democratic"
There were those who said they
would vote for Eisenhower though
they were very much in the minor
ity:

same man said he couldn't support
a Democratic Party that was "a

Few of those interviewed de-
scribed themselves as Hartman
supporters. Most of them were
going to back Adlai E. Stevenson.
Asked about Mr.. Stevenson's posi-
ton on civil rights, they could not
be specific, though they all thought
he was "for" the Negro. None
had read Mr.. Stevenson's latest
utterance on the Supreme Court
decision on school segregation.

Know About
Leather
In Shoes

A look at the leather shoes
in the store windows these
days makes US wonder If some
one hasn't invented some new
animals. The profusion Of
feathers, textures and colors
makes it impossible to tell the
shoe you want without q score
card.
SO, II you want to be able to
do more than point when you
60 shoe shopping. here's .
brief rundown on some Of the
new feathers that have come
out Of the tanners labora-
tories and onto our feet this
fall:
SHRUNKEN LEATHER r.
where the surface Of the
leather is actually shrunken
in the tanning process to pro-
duce the very fashionable
grained look" Ii perhaps the
most popular-and 1t comes In
o variety Of forms. There's
something called cashmere
calf, which is q lovely smooth
leather with Just q suggestion
Of a grained effect.
Then there are the more
prominent grains-of the
''llama calf" variety. Another
leather called ''broadtail kid"
reproduces the characteristic
pattern of the fur on leather.
And these are just a few Of the
many versions you will en-
counter.
SUEDE-if you didn't know
1t before-is leather which has
been buffed and finished on
the flesh side Of the hide to
produce the familiar velvety
feel. But now, you'll see
suedes that are printed in
misty Scotch plaids. and
suedes that are embossed In
carved, ribbed, swirled and
chevron patterns.
In addition to these new
surface treatments, all suede
leather = whether plain or
fancy-has been improved so
that it is almost non-scuffable,
will not bleed color and keeps
its nap forever.
BRUSHED LEATHER IL .
sueded leather with q longer
and somewhat more rugged
nap than conventional suede
and you'll find 1t mainly In
sports and casual shoes.
GLOVE LEATHER when APP
piled to shoes doesn't mean
the silky thin leather used in
fine gloves. It's rugged shoe
leather, but with the soft but
terry feel of leather gloves. It's
most popular this fall In the
butternut to maple shades
and again is most often found
In casual shoes.
ANILINE feathers are Skins
that have been finished with
virtually no dye at all-aliow-
ing the natural shadings Of the
leather to show through. Only
the top 10 per cent Of hides
can be given this treatment
80 you'll 11nd this leather In
dne. silky smooth pumps,
mainly for afternoon wear.
LUSTER AND PEARLIZED
feathers - most popular In
after-five Shoes-are charac-
terized by q luminous sheen,
with an almost metallic cast,
but with the softness and
depth characteristic Of leather.
And some Of the others
too numerous to detail-are
grained patent, . real innova-
ton: gilded alligator, sueded
pigSkin, and gold-plated sheen.

Fine for Delaying

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 81 (R.-
Manager Bobby Bragan of the
Pirates said last night he will
fight a 500 fine imposed upon
him by Warren Giles. National
League president.
The fine followed a disturbance
in Wednesday nights Milwaukee
Pittsburgh game that began with
a protest over the kind of pitches
Lew Burdette, Braves right
handler. was throwing. Bragan
and two Of his players were
elected by the umpires,
Bragan also said he would file
a protest charging that Burdette
was throwing a spitball.
Il wasn't delaying the game, y
he asserted. II was merely max
ing a routine protest. All l
wanted was to see the ball Bur-
dette was throwing"
In a telegram to Bragan yes
terday. Giles said the fine was
imposed "for your general con-
duct and conduct of your players
in constantly stepping out of the
batters' box and employing tactics
which obviously were designed to
delay the game with threatening
