A SPLENDID PATTERN
BY George Peck

In my mail recently came
a beautifully-executed parch-
ment, carrying a message based
on the resolutions adopted at
the 35th Annual Meeting Of
the American Farm Bureau
Federation, held in December
of 1858. There was no clue as
to the identity of the sender,
making it impossible for me to
make grateful acknowledge
ment. 1t is my hope that he or
she will read this column in
one of the newspapers in which
it will appear and thus learn
that the document was receiv-
ed and read with both interest
and approval.
The resolutions as set forth
on this parchment so COM
pletely parallel my own con-
ception of THE American
Way" that | could not resist
the urge to pass them on to the
readers Of this column. The
parchment reads as follows:
1 BELIEVE
in the American competitive
enterprise system.
that mans search for pro-
gress should be encouraged by
maintenance Of opportunity,
not hindered by Illusions of
security.
that a person should be re-
Warded in accordance with his
productive contribution to
society.
that every man is entitled
to own property, earn money
honestly, save, invest and
spend as he chooses,
that property rights cannot
be taken away without infring-
ing on rights guaranteed by
the Constitution.

The American Way

that the Constitution is the
basic law of the land, and that
its Interpretation should be in
accordance with the intent of
its authors.
that government should
operate impartially in the in
terest of all.
that governments regulatory
functions should be based on
law.
that government should pro-
vide only minimum controls
and aids.
that government should sti-
mulate, not discourage, in
dividual initiative.
that rropagandizing by gov
ernment is dangerous to the
maintenance of self-govern-
ment.
that monopoly, whether by
government, industry, labor or
agriculture, is dangerous.
that voluntary cooperation is
a part of the American system.
that all candidates for public
office should state their beliefs
with respect to Communism,
Socialism and Capitalism.
Isn't that a splendid state
ment of basic Americanism,
the kind of Americanism for
which the Founding Fathers
fought and died? Isn't it a re-
statement, couched in goth
Century language, Of the
splendid pattern they laid
down for a new nation in
drawing up that great docu-
ment-the Constitution?
Well, once again, the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation,

are opposed to centralized

Hard to believe it, but this is a
bottom-priced Chevrolet "One-Fifty."
And it has a peppery, sweet-running
"Blue-Flame" six under the hood to
make your gas stops few and far
between. This, you know, is the very
newest version of Americas favorite
six. You'll like the "lift" and the
thrift it puts in your driving!
And you'll like the special sureness
of control you have at the wheel.
This is quality that just can't be
measured in dollars and cents. Lots of
cars that cost lots more just don't
have it. Come in and zoe how much

I have just finished totaling

versity Of Maryland reports that
magnesium is deficient in much
OF this area. The ground lime
stone containing magnesium is
the easiest way to supply it.
Lawns seldom need lining
more than once in three or four
years. but the garden and flower
beds may need it more often. The
best way to determine the need
for lime is by having a soil SAM
pie tested. The University Of
Maryland Soil Laboratory will
test samples for residents of
Maryland. There is no public
agency that will do it for the
District residents. Virginia's lab
oratory is at the experiment sta
ton at Blacksburg, Va. Resi-
dents of Fairfax County may be
able to have such tests made by
the county agricultural agent.

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

Freezes and thaws tend to push
poorly rooted plants and bulbs
out Of the ground, and will do
the same for plant labels. We
should try to mulch young plants
as well as the bulb beds after the
ground is frozen so as to keep it
frozen. That is the objective. but
in this area we have better re-
suits with mulches applied be-
fore the ground is frozen. to keep
it from freezing. Such a mulch
is used around the broadleaved
evergreens - hollies. camellias,
etc.
The ground has hardly frozen
deeply enough for mulching the
strawberries, but that chore
should should be taken care of
as soon as we do have deep
freeze. The mulch is to keep the
ground frozen and to protect the
flower buds. A three or four.
inch layer Of clean straw is good.
If the lawn or garden needs
lime it is well to use a dolomitic

Drainage Spots

The recent heavy rains have
shown up the spots in the lawn
and flower beds where standing
water may be doing damage to
dormant plants. II they can
not be filled they should at
least be drained. This may
necessitate cutting little bitches
to carry the water away. but
that may be essential if we are
to avoid plant and bulb loss.

day-followed.

Attorney Joseph Forer, repre-

argued that the finding was
against the weight Of the evi-
nence. He declared a sufficient
showing had been made that the
party was not under foreign DOM
nation. In addition. he attacked
as tainted, the testimony Of
Mrs. Mary Markward. who joined
the party as an FBI informant.
He accused the SACB Of fail
ing to give him a fair opportunity
to prove the allegation Of per-

Mr.. Gallagher asserted that
refusal of the SACB to produce
certain FBI documents was
within the boards discretion.
The case was heard by Judges
