Push Came Late
But it wasn't until 1850

seriously exploiting its tourist

Ireaped nearly $3.50 million

Some wags insists this is be-

yin recent years. But the Brit
ish government, officially at
least, takes a more kindly view
toward the tourist.
The Bahamas this year are
getting ready for a frenzied
swinter rush the likes of which
1t has never seen. In the first
six months this year the Brit
ish colony drew 192,647 Wis
itors, an increase of more than
100 per cent over the number
who came in the same period
Just two years ago.
What is there about these
fiat islands that draws these
growing numbers?
AS your plane banks in over

these lily-pad dots in the At

afloat in the nearly five CEN

them.
And as you stand on the deck
of a cruise liner lying at an
chor off Nassau, you feel that
if the Bay Street shops weren't
in your way, you could glimpse
the sea at the other side of the
island.
No Rugged Peaks
The Bahamas have none OF
the rugged contours which
characterize such West Indies
islands as Hispanola, Puerto

At their highest point, they
manage to push barely 100 feet

FROM READING
by
Mary Einsel

The true story of three Amer
lean battalions fighting in the
iungles of Burma during World
War II is told by Charlton Og-
burn, Jr. in his book THE MA
RAIDERS.
Toward the end of his account
he says: ut was still fresh in my
mind how | had told myself once
when my part of the column was
caught in a volley of firing IN a
rocky ravine that ] would never
forget what | knew now, that
war was the worst calamity that
could befall; anything else would
be better.
Sometime after that we had
come into possession of a few
e copies of the paper-bound,
pocket-sized books printed for
tcanlinued on Page y
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1960-02-18

was concern d. The President
wrote to the general, noting that
Mr.. Sherman's army included
thousands of young men from
Ohio and Wisconsin, which states
were strong for Mr.. Lincoln. He
would appreciate it, he said, if
the general would inform the
men of the soldiers ballot law
and make it possible for them to
vote This was done and Mr.. Lin
coin carried Atlanta by an over
Whelming majority. The city did
not hold this against him or Gen
eral Sherman. A few years after
the war the general came to At
lanta and was given dinner.
The then editor of The Atlanta
Constitution, Henry Grady, pre-
sided In introducing the honor
guest he said that Atlanta had
nothing against General Sherman
save that he was a little careless
about fire. At any rate, l trust
my credentials are in order.
1t is natural, | think, to turn
to the address made here, on the
evening of February 27, 1860 He
had taken no public opinion polls
IN search of principles or convic-
tons. They had come to him
through his senses, through his
eyes and his ears, and the work
ings of his sensitive mind. He
had seen the conditions of h e
frontier He noted life and con-
trasts on the long river journey
to New Orleans There he saw
the slave markets and witnessed
the inhumanity of them. His
principles and convictions had
been refined and toughened in
the Douglas debates. They were
his. He, himself, had acquired
them. He held to them. They
gave him the compass course for
his life. When the Wing party
deserted his principles he quit
that party When the Republican
party was born and proclaimed
principles which matched his
own, he joined it.
So, when he came East-to
Cooper Union--he brought his
principles with him Neither he
nor they were then well known.
When he had finished, the crowd
here gave both an ovation.
We can look at the speech and
the man and see what he did was
to close an essential gap-a Gull
tural time lag. 1t was then neces-
sary to persuade society to take
great strides
This has meaning for us today.
We like to think that only for us
has 1t become necessary to close
the gap between technology and
the moral sciences-betWeen the
scientific and the social sciences.
Today's national problem is to
find the inspiration and the
leadership which will enable us
to have great convictions and to
fuse moral considerations with
social inventiveness.
So it was when Lincoln spoke
here in February 1860. Slavery
had been brought about by agIi-
culture, mainly cotton But al
ready machines ginned. spun and
wove cotton. One day, men were
saying then, machines would

A hundred years, lacking but
a few days, have passed since
Abraham Lincoln here delivered
the speech which was the pivot
of his life and the nations
His whole life was a span of
but Sc years. When on that damp
and SHOWN night, century ago,
he quit this auditorium to go
back to his hotel, limping be-
cause one of his new boots pinch
ed, there were roughly five years
left to him.
This life, so richly and fortu-
itously prepared, saved the Union
and perpetuated the nation.
But a few days hence we will
pause in reVerent memory to
honor George Washington, whose
steadfast faith and courage made
possible the birth of this nation.
In a few weeks we will commem-
crate Thomas Jefferson, the ma
jestic Virginian, whose hand was
in both the immortal Declaration
of mans i1alienable rights, and
in the Bill of Rights. The words
of both are as plainly and per-
manently written as the Com
mandments fetched by Moses
from Mt. Sinai.
Yet, as deeply and sincerely as
we honor and revere these two.
in acknowledging our eternal in
debtedness to them, it is some
how Lincoln who seems closest
to us. It is so with peoples around
the world. This man from our
prairies is in our hearts. The
mystery of him, the humanity Of
him, the many facts and legends
of his brief life, are a part Of the
flesh and blood of our national
folklore and culture, of our faith
IN the nation and the people who
make it. For all that we reverence
Washington and Jefferson, they
remain somehow tile marble and
bronze men in halls of fame, in
the pantheon of our heroes. But
.incoln-We can see him plainly

ing been foled in the valise for

So it is proper, ON this ami
versary, to look to him for por-
tents for our time, and to attempt
assay of the meaning of Abraham
Lincoln for us in 1860 and the
years to come
In casting about for creden-
tials which it occurred to me
might be helpful for person
coming from Atlanta, Georgia, to
make this talk, I came across one

Eisenhower to Stop At Anchorage, Manila, Taipei

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower will make his first visit to the new State of Alaska June 12-13 at the start of his Far Eastern tour.
 The White House announced this Tuesday in releasing the schedule for the Presidents trip to Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Formosa and Okinawa. On his way home, he will stop at Honolu- lu June 22 and rest two or three days before returning to Wash ington.
 Eisenhower will leave Andrews AFB in Maryland at 10:45 am local time June 12 and fly to Elmendorf AFB at Anchorage.
 Arriving at Anchorage about noon, he will take part in recep- tion by military and state officials and remain overnight. The Presi- dent will leave Anchorage at am. June 13 and fly to Wake Is- land and Manila.
 Eisenhower will travel aboard his jet airliner, but may transfer to the U. s cruiser St. Paul for the trip from Manila to Taipei, the capitol of Formosa.
 White House Press Secretary James c. Hagerty said he would be unable to announce for a few days whether Mrs. Eisenhower will ac- company the President.
 The First Lady had been plan ming to make the trip when it in- cluded 10-day visit to the Soviet Union, but Soviet Premier Krushchev withdrew his invita- ton.
 The White House announced several weeks ago that Eisenhower would go to Japan and Korea. Addition of the Philippines, For mosa and Okinawa confirms un- official reports earlier this week that the President had decided to accept the invitations of those governments as a result of cancel lation of the Soviet tour.

Her Patience
Pays Off For
Handicapped

Los ANGELES tP)-Thirty-five
years ago, Mrs. Emerald Barman
Arbogast, American Mother Of
1860, was faced with frightening
dilemma:
Her sixth child was a Mongoloid.
She had two choices: put the
child away, or keep him.
People told me, get the child
out of sight. Put him in an institu-
tion'," says Mrs. Arbogast. That's
was the way it was done, then"
Mrs. ArbOgast called her family
together and let them vote-be-
cause the child would be their prob
lem, too.
"He was born to this family"
she says. "He is one of us. Are we
going to accept the fact and meet
II as a challenger
The family gave her a vote of
confidence. And Mrs. ArbOgast
started on a pioneering venture in
child therapy. The results of her
decision:
The son, Grant, today lives a
near-normal life, plays the piano,
paints, rides horses. He's one Of
the happiest people in town.
Techniques developed by Mrs.
Arbogast in caring for her own
child are now in use throughout
the nation.
And Mrs. Arbogast-now II and
still active in care of what she
