Gazeffe's Editor
Explains Problem
In Little Rock

Harry Ashmore, executive edi
tor of the Arkansas Gazette said
Sunday that he hoped the poll
teal leaders of Arkansas even
tually would maintain order to
enforce indignation laws in the
schools.
He blamed the incidents that
led to sending federal troops into
Little Rock on a minority but
pointed out that there have been
mo real incidents" Of racial
disorder since arrival of the fed
eral troops.
Nevertheless Ashmore said
there is an element that is
bound to create mischief
that now is held in check by a
naked show Of force.
Il like to think that the au-
thority Of the state-that is
Governor Faubus will take
more positive position. However,
so long as the governor remains
in an essentially negative posture
there is a threat of mob VIC
lence."
Asnmore appeared on the ABC
Television program of Dean
James A. Pike of the Cathedral
Of st. John the Divine.

Empty House Stops BrOiler
Disease CarryOver

Prevent carryover of disease
from old to new broiler fiocks by
leaving the houses empty for two
or three weeks.
That's the advice of George Va
paa, county agricultural agent. He
quoted Karl Seeger of George
town as recently saying that my
experience has shown there is no
evidence that virus and bacterial
diseases survive from one flock to
another when such a period of
time elapses."
Evidently the absence of the
birds plus the time period is a
very effective sanitizing measure,
the agent pointed out.
Mr.. Vapaa said to remove old
litter soon as a flock is Sold Then
clean and wash with water both
equipment and the house.
Fresh air, dry floors and proper
heat will reduce the seriousness
of many diseases, he declared.
New litter will cut down the dan
ger of woam infestation and am
monia concentration, he added.
Unless litter shortage is acute,
the agricultural agent urged the
use of new litter with each flock.
Where external sanitation is not
effective, Mr.. Vapaa advised the
use of drugs vaccination and dis
ease-free chicks.

The Rev. Guy H. McWilliams,
pastor. announces services for
Sunday. October 6, as follows:

with C. Francis Downes, superin-
tendent, as leader. At the 1I:OO
O'Clock worship service, Rev. Nc
Williams has chosen for the SER
rnaon subject: God or Self. = To-
days Meditation: We are familiar
with the expression ITO separate
the sheep from the goats" as rep
resenting good and bad people.
Thus, in the last judgment, the
king puts the sheep who are all
rewarded for good action, on one
side, and the goats, who are all
punished for bad action, on the
other side. A visitor to Palestine
noticed one difference between
sheep and goats. The sheep will
follow a leader, but the goats
have to be driven. Think that
over! Will we follow leadership
in good cause, or do we have to
be driven ?-The Devotional read
ing for today: When the Son of
man comes in his glory, and all
the angels with him, then he will
sit on his glorious throne. Before
him will be gathered all the ma
tons, and he will separate them
one from the other as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the
goats. Matt. 25, 1892.
