As the population of this country in
- creases, and more and more guns and
fishing rods are taken out into the woods
and on the streams and waters of" the
various sections, an increasingly acute
problem will be the conservation of Wild
life
This problem has already reached the
acute stage in some areas and with some
species Of wildlife The answer to the
threat of game extinction seems to lie in
several fields. One Of the remedies to this
eventual outcome lies in shorter hunting
and fishing seasons.
Game conservation offices, both state
and federal, have already responded to the
threat of extinction in some fields by
shortening seasons, lowering the bag and
catch limits and Tightening up enforcement.
But the problem is not yet solved.
In some areas, forward-looking pro-
grams have begun. But the major factor
involved in this problem is the human
factor the mass psychology of the hunters
and fishermen, and their attitude toward
bag limits, seasons, etc.
Some hunters have little regard for the
limits, and laugh about above-limit totals
Many covey of birds has been killed down
so greedily one season that none are around
the next. If only three or four birds had
been left, possibly even two, covey would
be found the following season. Until this
realization and the general realization
that conservation habits must be practiced
by all sportsmen, the decreasing supply
of wildlife will remain an acute problem.
The average hunter is the only person who
can solve it.

It is felt generally that con-

that personal and corporation IN

Thus, the corporate rate would

publication, Target for 1863" states:
The National Association for the Advance
nent of Colored People has set as its target
for 1863 the complete elimination OF all
vestges Of second-c class citizenship under
which the Negro Americans suffer The year
1868 was chosen because January l of that
wear will mark the Tooth anniversary OF
Abraham Linclons Emancipation Proclama-
The biggest names in NAACP were at
Richmond, from New York, Montgomery
and Atlanta, to whip up propaganda
against Prince Edward County. BY devious
means the NAACP attempts to crush any
thing that stands in its way. The Negro
individual comes under its pressure, the
legislatures are propagandized. and pres
sures are exerted against the people in
Prince Edward County.
The Negro people of Prince Edward
know these pressures. They fear these pres
sures. They have decision to make, name
ly, will they follow the NAACP or will
they be citizens of Prince Edward and help
to solve their own problems among their
own people. who historically have been
laboring together for the best interests of
the community in which they live?
The Prince Edward School Foundation
is making plans for independent schools
for the white people next year. These plans
in detail will be published as soon as they
have been completed.
Southside Schools, Inc, formed to pro-
vide education for Negro children is MAX
ing plans for the operation of a full school
term this year with the intention of expand
ing operations next year.
Thus, BY their own efforts the people
of Prince Edward are meeting a difficult
situation and seeking a solution.

I have just been reading an
interesting article by Carl
H. Fellner M. D., of Madison,
Wis, in the Journal of the
American Medical ASsocia-
ton. He summarizes by say
ing that the fear of cancer
is what often brings patients
to a doctor.
There are two types Of in
dividuals. The first is thank
full when the doctor says
everything is all right-and
Immediately washes his fear
out Of his mind. The other
type, unfortunately of a large
group. still continues to
worry.
DR.. Fellner mentions one
patient whose brother died
Of cancer of the colon. Soon
she developed abdominal
symptoms. She had a hem
orrhoidectomy hoping that
would help. 1t didn't. She
continued to complain in
spite of the assurances of her
doctor that she didn't have
cancer.
She went down hill into a
severe depression. Not until
she had a series of electric
sleep therapy did she i'm
prove.
I believe the doctors ar
ticle is important because
many patients go from doc
tor TO doctor with various
symptoms that don't fit into
any logical formula. The
doctor tries to help but often
seems unaware of their fears.
So the patients get on the
medical merry-go-round, see
ing doctor after doctor with
out improvement.
If you have fears of can
Ger, come right out with
them. Don't conceal them
from the man who is trying
to help you.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

IDENTIFICATION: WAL
ter Hagen. one of COLTS
greatest, never missed a trick
on the links.
Once. on the 18th hole Of
a championship match. his
ball fell on soft terrain which
had been soaked with rain
the night previous. AS the
spectators Surged forward to
follow the play, one Of them
stepped on the ball, pressing
it into the ground.
The official, who hadn't
seen what had happened.
ruled that the ball had to
be played from its sunken
position. Hagen knew better
than to argue, but he realized
that the match would be lost
If he submitted to the de-
cision. AS he selected his club,
he turned to the official and
said:
ITO make sure the ball is
mine. may I identify it,
please?"
The official got down on
his knees, dug up the ball
and scooped off some Of the
mud, which fell back into the
hole.
II still can't tell if it's
mine" said Hagen.
The official Scooped off
more mud. but still Hagen
wasn't satisfied. Only when
it had been wiped clean and
the hole had been refllled did
he admit that the ball was
his. BY that time. it was an
easy matter for him to play
it. His next shot landed on
the green and he went on
to win the match.
