Minister'S Son In
Egg Raising Business

A clipping received from a
Georgia newspaper this week,
brings the account of the initiative
of Herschel Cocker who is in the
egg raising business. He is a son
of Rev. and Mrs George II Cokcr,
of Nichols, Ga Rev. Coker viii be
remembered as the Baptist minis
ter who served churches of Mt
Lake Park Ferndale and Deep
Creek along in 1914.
Herschel, according to the story,
started out with a birthday present
less than year ago and now has
his own bank account pays his own
bills and keeps his own books for
a substantial egg producing bust
ness. He is now fourteen
He received 40 biddies valued at
go cents each at his birthday last
February. Members of the FLA
club of Nichols High and the di-
rector gave hand in building a
chicken brooder A member Of Rev.
Cookers church donated some logs
for a chicken house A feed store
helped out in counSeling. When the
birthday chickens started laying
the owner soon sold enough eggs
to purchase 50 more chicks and
now they are laying too. Out of the
100 chickens Cocker lost only four
A third fifty will soon start laying
Each day Herschel gathers so to
80 eggs and only once has egg pro-
duction fallen below 10 percent
Herschel has set up delivery
route in Nichols and Douglas
which he makes three times week.
Eggs are hand candled, hand
cleaned and hand weighed, assur-
ing top quality.
Herschel is freshman at
Nichols High where he is captain
of the School Patrol and a member
of the "B" basketball team.
Young Cocker follows strict
schedule in looking after his egg
business. Each morning he checks
to see that everything is in order
before going TO school. The layers
are cared for by automatic water
ing devices and the house is equip
ped with automatic lights. At night
Coker gathers eggs. checks the feed
supply and marks down the laying
record of each hen. He is working
toward 500 layers in his business
and plans to send himself TO col
lege with the profits.
His father, by the way, is Doc
tor Cocker, having obtained his doc
tor of divinity degree since leaving
Garrett county
The clipping was sent to The Re
publican from Mrs. J. p. Pierce,
of St. Petersburg, Fla, former
resident of the Park. The article
included three pictures of the en-
terprise.

run away with the Democratic
presidential nomination at Chicago
in August. 1t is, however interest
ing to contrast Mr. Stevenson's po-
sition now with that he assumed
four years ago.
AT that time the word coy GER
tainly seemed accurately to de-
scribe his attitude. Though he had
made a strongly organized cam
pagn for the nomination and had
behind him the forces Of organized
labor tat any rate so far as its
leaders were concerned plus the
New Deal-Fair Deal elements and
the big city bosses. he consistently
maintained an air of reluctance and
even after his nomination managed
to get away generally with the en-
tirely false idea that he had been
drafted" OF course, he was no
more drafted in 1852 than the late
Mr. Roosevelt was in 1882 But that
was the contention of his friends
and he may even believe it himself,
though it is hard to see how.
This time there is not the slight
est pretense OF a draft" On the
contrary not even the assiduous
Senator Kefauver is as eager. anXi-
Gus, not to say desperate, in his
hunt for delegates He has press
agents, publicity men and political
managers. He has entered himself
in every primary in which he thinks
there is a chance of winning. He
is spending a good deal of money.
He has written magazine articles
describing himself-and rightly
as "titular leader" of his party. At
the moment he is out in Cali
fornia making exceedingly partisan
speeches complaining rather meek
ly about what Senator KefauVer.
Gov "Soapy' Williams Of Michi-
gan and a few others have said
about him, which wasn't very nice.
What a contrast all this is to the
evasive. equivocal wisecracking
Stevenson Of four years ago, The
change is striking and one wonders
why Before the Presidents heart
attack and when it was surer he
would run again the Democratic
tendency was to let Mr.. Stevenson
have the nomination by default He
was the "titular leader; well let
the "titular leader" take another
beating. That seemed the general
idea. Mr.. Stevenson was willing
but not anxious. After the Essen

Fin|etter Urges
Weapons for
Israeli sDefense

Former Air Force Secretary
Thomas K. Finletter declared
last night that the United States
Immediately should give Israel
the most modern weapons of war
to defend herself.
Governor Herter. of Massa-I
chusetts suggested a commission
made up of Jews, Arabs and
other persons be set up to help
smooth the near-war tension of
the Middle East.
Both recommendations were
made in speeches before the
Americana Israel Society's third
annual dinner in the Willard
Hotel
The IsraeliS must have what
ever is necessary to enable them
to defend themselves against
humiliation by Soviet planes
furnished the Arab states Mr.
Finletter said, including "theI
finest and newest all-weather de-
fensive fighters in the possession
of the United States
Even Fuel Embargo
He also said that, if need be,
Israel should have anti-tankI
guns and sub-chasers. When
there is weapons balance be-
tween the Israelis and Arabs.
'let us demand from the Rus
slams that we all embargo the
sending Of further arms to any
state of the Near East" Mr.. Fin
letter told his audience.
He called on the administra-
ton to ''reaffirm uncondition-
ally" the Tri-Partite Declara-
ton of May, 1850, under which
the United States, Britain and
France guaranteed the armistice
boundaries between Israel and
her neighbors against violation
by each other.
The Air Force Secretary I'M
der President Truman charged
that some of the recent state
ments of United States officials
may give the impression that
we me stand by inertly III
an attack is made against
Israel :"
The responsibilities for Near
East problems should not be
left to the United Nations. Mi
Finletter said. I'VE will serve
the U. N better if the free world
settles its own problems in the
Near East and establishes sta
bility in the area" he added.
Eban Urges Equipment
Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban,
who also spoke at the dinner
said America should equip rs
raels manhood to defend our
state Only after this is done
should action concentrate on
preventing war under the United
Nations Charter, he added.
The Ambassador said small |
nations everywhere will judge
the fairness of your alliance with
them by the constancy of your
friendship with us"
Gov. Herter suggested that
commission be sponsored by the
U NJ General Assembly to mo
billie public opinion behind its
recommendations and maxi
mize the possibility that these
recommendations would find
substantial acceptance with the
respective parties"
Gov. McKeldin of Maryland,
president of the America Israel
Society. presided at the dinner
marking the eighth anniversary
of Israel INDEPENDENCE.

Gray Lady
Unit Plans
Campaign

The Gray Lady Service Of
the Montgomery County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross
met yesterday to map a sum-
mer volunteer recruiting cam
paign.
The group met With their re-
firing chairman, Mrs. Lloyd
Thomas, who is leaving the
city. and the new chairman,
Mrs. William Clark.
Instead of waiting until Sep
TENDER to open their campaign,
the Gray Ladies unit decided
the leisurely summer months
would afford them greater OPP
portunity to get a greater
number of new volunteers for
the busy fall season.
The campaign goal is 100
new volunteers.
They are asking that all who
are interested in training for
this type of hospital service,
sponsored by the American
Red Cross, call the Montgom-
cry County Chapter at Juniper
8-2515 to make an appoint
ment for an interview at the
chapter house, 1920 East-West
highway.
In the fall, an orientation
course will be givens at the
chapter house for all volun-
teers. Details of the different
types of work done at the four
hospitals served by the Gray
Lady Service will be given.
Later. each hospital gives its
own course of training, and
probationary work. After full
filling all the requirements, the
Gray Lady is graduated and
receives a certificate, cap, and
pin.
To earn the right to wear her
uniform, a Gray Lady must
give $50 hours a year and so
hours if she is a night worker.
Throughout the summer
campaign, there will be a Gray
Lady on duty to answer phone
inquiries at the chapter house
from 10 am. to 2 pm.

1t is a fact that in-laws are
more influential than any other
one factor in breaking up mar
riages in the first year after
the wedding. Widespread pub
LEGATION Of this fact cause many
young and old couples alike
to be alarmed at the possibili-
ties. Being an in-law myself
three times over, I certainly
have no prejudice against the
older generation, but I am con-
tinually denounced by CORE
spondents who think should
never intimate that an in-law
can do anything wrong.
Unfortunately. life is not so
perfect and never has been.
The in-law joke, said to be
the Oldest in the world, is good
evidence that the two genera
tons do not always create a
paradise for each other.
1t is nearly always a mother
in-law who is involved Sisters
in-law come second. 1t has
always been like that. A girl
says to her mother, Mamma,
I don't believe ! can marry
Jim after all. I found out he
is practically an infidel. He
doesn't believe there is any
hell" Her mother replies re-
assuringly. you go ahead and
marry him, darling, and you
and I together will prove to
him he is mistaken" That is
the way the story has been
told too often. How are we 60
ing to prevent these difficult
ties?
l. The younger generation
must recognize that the ties
of a lifetime can't be broken
abruptly and that they should
not be.
