To Three Cardinals
Three cardinals have re-
ceived the degrees, all in the
present century: Mercier in
1919. O'Connell in 1887, and
Cushing in 1859.
Mr.. Elkins thinks Harvard
was somewhat slow in recog-
nizing artists and creative
writer's Except, pedhaps, for
poets) .. Edgar Allan Poe,
Walt Whitman and Herman
Melville were overlooked, and
even Nathaniel Hawthorne "a
New Englander but not
a Harvard graduate.").
No performer of music, other
than a conductor, has ever re-
ceived an honorary degee. Edu-
Gators have been chosen often,
but great teachers oftener
than administrators" Any
president of Yale or Princeton
is a shoo-in.
Harvard has honored only
six women, and these in the
last four years. Helen Keller
made it first, and Mr.. Elkins
says slyly, mo less contro-
versial choice could have been
found" Then came Barbara
Ward jackson two years later,
and then, as if the ice had
been broken and everyone was
breathing, easily, two each in
1858 and 1859.
Controversies about Harvard
honorary degrees have been
rare. but when Andrew Jackson
received his in 1888 the row
was real pip.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Us
Christmas in the United States
has become breeder of mental
depression and infantile be-
havior and a reminder Of an
unhappy past for some people,
says a psychiatric research
team.
1t offers an excuse for some
weird doings by individuals
with personality troubles. 1t
can be a headaace for people
who don't want to play the
holiday game as it has deyel-
oped in American culture, the
researchers add.
Society's rules and regula-
tions now hold that at Christ
mas time everybody should be
absolutely happy; everybody
should receive gifts; adults
should exchange presents as
symbols of friendship, and
family ties should be renewed,
no matter how ragged they
may have become.
Rebellion Displayed
There always are people who
dislike one or more Of these
rules, and they show their dis
approval by abnormal reac-
tions. the psychiatrists say.
In drawing this picture of
the other side of Christmas,
the researchers say doctors can
expect a spate Of complaining
patients who need mainly
understanding and advice.

Needed On Farms.
Kent Agent Says

Z Newspapers, radio, farm r
meetings and farm visits are the
chief methods of getting infor-
nation to farmers today, says
George Vapaa, the Kent County
agricultural agent in his annual
report to the Levy Court, the
University of Delaware and the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
The agents statistical report
for 1858 shows some 1872 news
releases and SOP radio broad
casts prepared, 278 meetings at
tended and 86l farm visits made
in the county.
The news releases dealt with
a wide range of agricultural
problems and events. Kent Coun-
ty is the most diversified of the
three counties in Delaware, and
Kent County farmers are leaders
in most state farm organizations.
Listen While Working
Farm radio broadcasts have
changed to short "spot" items.
Farmers, like nearly everyone
else, listen to radio while doing
other things. Radio reminds
farmers in the barn, at the kitch-
en- breakfast table, yes, even on
the tractor, of timely events and
farm practices which need atten-
ton.

than in past years. Farmers have
become specialists. For example,
few dairymen today keep chick
ems or grow tomatoes. People
want and need specialized help
in order to be able to keep up
with today's closer market situ-
ations. The agent says the only
reason he. doesn't show more
meetings in his report, is be-
cause he cannot get to them all.
AS it is, he averages five meet
ings a week during the year. But
in the busy winter meeting
months, he may attend several
in a day. The biggest value of
farm meetings today seems to
come from the interchange of
experiences and information, so
that Kent County farmers may
continue to compete with other
areas.
Local Basis Used
Normally, the agent feels that
at least 40 percent of this time
should be spent on farm visits
in the county. The educational
program of the agricultural ex-
tension service is based on local
farm situations. Local farmer
demonstrations provide practical
applications for new farm know
ledge. This is the way that re-
search from university labora-
tories becomes adopted on local
farms. 1t is also the way that re-
search problems are found. The
-bushel Corn Club is a good
example of how yields can be in
creased through the adoption of
scientific management practices.

and directed the school board
to submit a new plan by March
IS.
The plan which Judge Hoff-
man rejected consisted of one
paragraph. 1t said all pupil as
Signments would be left up to
the State Placement Board.
The new plan, Judge Hoff-
man said, must be based on the
school boards acceptance of
primary responsibility for as
signing pupils. And it must
show exactly what steps are
to be taken by the local Off
cials in considering pupils ap-
plications.
Asks Alternate Plan
He ordered counsel for 10
Negro pupils seeking admission
to a white school to prepare a
stipulation within two weeks
in which oppoSrE counsel
would agree that ths Placement
boards policy in Newport News
would be the same as in a re-
cent Norfolk case. In the latter,
all Negroes applications for
white schools were initially
denied.
When he receives the written
stipulations signed by opposing
counsel, Judge Hoffman said he
will enjoin the Newport News
school board from dealings with
the placement board.
He also told the school board
to submit by March is an al
ternate plan, providing for
continued dealings with the

regation case should be re-

Judge Mccarthy declared
that zoning is a political ques-

by the County Board rather
than the courts.
ITO hold anything else would
mean that it is almost purely a
question of expediency," he said.
"In every case you would have
an invitation to the prop
erty owner to appeal the actions
Of the board and have them
upset"
The judge also indicated be-
lief that apartment projects
set down in midst Of residen-
tial areas acquire part of their
value by sapping value from
nearby property.
1T is undoubtedly true that
the petitioner in this case can
gain wealth by having the
property zoned the way he
wants to. But it appears to me
that that possibly results in a
kind of osmosis or a blotting up
of the potential wealth of the
whole neighborhood into his
area"

ton yesterday.
Circuit Court Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy said the county
if it wishes, can tell new resi-
dents and developers crowding
into the area "to go elsewhere. "
He also ruled that Arlington
