Three registration officials and

Cooperative Venture In Africa

In lofty Adds Ababa, capital of the mountain-girt
realm of Ethiopia representatives of awakening
tnent together this week to open the first confer
of the United Nations Economic Commission for
Africa.
They from countries as diverse as Africa is
diverse-from steamng jungle lands and lonely brood
ing deserts, from the lush Nile Valley and the high
plains of Central Africa They from European
countries which still extensive holdings throughout
the continentcounries which, for the most part
gradually divestng themselves of these holdings and
helping to establish the economic underpnnngs that
Afrcas emergent peoples need for their leap into poiti
cal independence.
Africas international boundaries often reflect nine
teenhcentury European rvares rather than local eth
mic geographic patterns The recent federation pro-
posal of formerly British-ruled Ghana and formerly
Frenchrued Guinea represents attempt in the poiti
cal sphere to what Africans regard artif
cia frontiers.
The new economic commission help to alternate
these boundaries in the equally important economic
sphere enabling Independent countries soon-o-be indie
pendent countries and countries holding colonies
teeshps to collaborae in the widest possible exchange
of capital and technology.

ing its program Of education FOR
the health professions.
Not only will there be series of
new categories for scholarships
and fellowships in the health field,
but a nationwide effort to interest
young people in health careers will
be made. For some years the Ma
tional Foundation has encouraged
medical students to enter spcial-
lied fields such as research, reha-
Utilization and preventive medicine
by offering vacation fellowships"
through which promising students
were enabled to spend two or three
months working in laboratories and
clinics with eminent specialists-to
"try out" these fields even before
they acquired their M.D.'s. More
than 1900 students had received
such fellowships through the sum-
ner Of 1868.
While most attention is given to
the end result of years of careful,
painstaking work such as new
method of treatment or prevention
of disease, no results would be pos
sible without educated and effec-
tive research scientists. The polio
vaccine that came about because of
March of Dimes support is a per-
feet example of this. The young
scientist who achieved results was
one of the early recipients of q
March of Dimes fellowship in
virology-Dr. Jonas E. Salk.
This program of education for
the health professions launched by
the National Foundation is design
ed to produce more DR.. Salks. It is
an important reason for supporting
the 1869 March Of Dimes-Toward
Greater Victories.

Cotton Farmers

Research designed to aid cotton
farmers is listed among the 1858
achievements of scientists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
AS a means of increasing cotton
yields through hybridization, U.s.
DA scientists developed a new
chemical spray which stops pollen
development on cotton without
harming female parts of the plants.
The results: male-sterile flowers
develop seeds only with pollen in

The method makes hybridizatiou
of cotton easier and has POSSIBLE
ties for application to other crops.
Better ways of controlling boil

year-round research which is now
possible as a result of the develop
ment of a synthetic diet for rails

1--WE MUST SEE JESUS HE is
THE ONE"
When they threw the devil out OF
Heaven
He fell somewhere | can't tell
He must have had hard head
Because everywhere you go there
is so much hell.
When we build a House to worship
in
Jesus Christ is the right one
He said for us to lift Christ up
And the Fathers Will will be done
We have got to obey the will OF
God
Stop lifting up the big man
Christ said if | be lifted up
| will do all the drawing of this
land.
You are lifting money up today
And printing a tax ON unborn men
Money lovers are building Gods
House
And filling them up with sin.
God tells His people to separate
And vet they won't take heed
They will take the devil in Gods
House
And let Him right in the lead.
We will never have any peace
Until Christ is doing the lead
Too manv UNIFORMS in Gods House
That will never in this life take
heed.
The world is building kingdoms
here
No Christ to abide there in
Christ said if : g lifted up you see
I will do all the drawing of men.
If we expect to obey Gods word
For Jesus Christ who died on Cal
very Hill
Who gave His life for all who
would believe on Him
Would inherit a home in His Faith
er's Will.
The thing that makes Gods people
wise is the new heart
It's that new heart for Christ in
exchange
Your mama will be on the Lambs
blood
And the Angels will sign your
name.
We cannot live here wrong and
die right
Christ is calling for the pure in
heart today
And nothing but the righteous ]
say
Is able to go this way.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | used to hear an old
friend of mine back during the days
when was a young man ofttimes
use the expression, "You can't
keep me from thinking" and things
being like they are 'mongst Aine
Haggar's Chillun, is maybe the rea-
son why them words kept popping
into my mind whilst I set down
eating my fish and drinking my
beer, and what made it like it was
was because whilst l could agree
with what my old friend used to
say | couldn't seem to decide if
his sayings would work on Aine
Haggar's Chillun nowadays, look
ing and listening at the members
O-the-tribe as they gather at their
favOrite spots and congregate up
and down the Ole Avenue on Sat-
urday from early morn until clos
ing time at night, l don't know
that if my old friend was alive that
he wouldn't say that it looks lack
something or somebody done stop
ped Aine Haggar's Chillun from
thinking, thinking being in my
mind what a fellow arrives at and
come to b'leve after he's seen a
situation and mulled over all sides
of it in his own head, spite of
what somebody else done said, or
didn't say on them same subjects.
Viewing things long them kinda
lines it look lack to me, that rs
things now goes the main troubles
with Aine Haggar's Chillun is that
they're jess hearing and b'levening
everything that somebody else
done thought up to say for them,
about them, and against them {.
whilst my mind was so engaged /
heard somebody come up with the
question directed at a member-o-

is equal to everybody in the world,
and befo the answer came / heard

to de Bible for that, / heard our
Preacher say that the Bible says,

that AS A MAN THINKETH IN
