WHO SAID POLITICIANS FORGET?

Governor Oral Faubus, the man who smiled. sweet
talked, and whose supporters, with customary methods of en-
ticing the Negroes. has gotten many of his Negro supporters
in a confusing and embarrassing predicament. by his sud-
den memory of the platform upon which he launched his cam
paign to keep the Negroes out the white schools while
he was governor. Saturday, according to all press reports.
the governors office for the first time since the Dixiecrat
regime, joined hand and hand with executive mansion DWELL
es of Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia. and came
forth with a strong denounciation of the edict of the Supreme
Court. and stated in substance that he will have N mart
if press reports didn't misquOte him. in the enforcing of the
law as interpreted by the highest court in the country.
Mr.. Faubus' memory Of his early campaign promise. put
some of the Negro political leaders at a loss as to justify
their support, especially since the average Negroes had for
gotten and forgiven him for basing his platform upon keep
ing the Negro feeling inferior, thru his effort to help deny
hin of his constitutional rights.
The question in many Of the Negroes minds. is whether
the Negro political leaders will forget and forgive, and
follow the pattern of the past and be induced by that
certain something that makes most forget principles, and take
the field again and paint him as the man of God who has
been sent forth to lead us out of the wilderness. or will
they put principles first and denounce the man who has so
ably denounced the law Of the land?
Only July and August can answer that question correct

Destroy Bagw0rms Now
Before They Damage
Plants

A cone-shaped bag hanging from
the branches of evergreen trees is
a reminder that they house the
bagworm and should be destroyed
now if damage to the tree is to be
avoided, according to County Agent
William H. Henderson.
Bagworms are usually found on
Arbovitae and Cedar-like plants
but some species of the worm may
be found on Althea, elms, roses OF
oaks. They usually hatch about the
middle of June.
Two sprayings of lead arsenate
using tablespoons per gallon OF
water and applied one week apart
will kill the bagworm.
If only one or two small trees
are infested it may be easier to
handpick the bags and destroy them
by burning or burying them.
