tices in our citizenship. His
tory reminds us that, when
disturbed, man tries to bring
himself closer to his gods.
It was the custom Of an
cient man hopefully to as
cribe TO his leaders the
friendship and support Of the
gods.
The custom continues In
varying form in our time.
Politicians especially like to
invoke religious references.
One recalls, for example, the
nodding approval of con-
gressmen at the conclusion Of
General Douglas MacArthur's
speech before Congress fol-
lowing his removal from
command by President Tru-
man. Representatives said
solemnly that the Nation has
seen a "large hunk Of God"
on the rostrum. A national
magazine declared the gen.
eral to be the proper leader
because he had "the humility
to believe In Cod" and num-
erous other publications re-
ferred TO him as "divinely
led" and as Goods man APP
pointed for the task" Her.
bert Hoover saw him as q
reincarnation Of st. Paul.

C0rney General Robert Ken
nedy and Representative John
Lindsay Of New York during
the hearings before the House
Judiciary Committee helped
to clarity the philosophy
which has shaped the Presi-
dents program on civil rights.
Apart from this one Lenefit,
the exchange was both un-
necessary and unfortunate.
For these two men have no
reason to quarrel over civil
rights. If they cannot agree,
then the legislation is in very
serious difficulties. Mr..
Lindsay speaks for many Re-
publicans in the House whose
support is vital to the pas
sage Of the bill. What is N ore,
an abrupt dismissal Of Mr..
Lindsay viii not sit very well
with the Republicans in the
Senate who agree with him.
It must be admitted that
Representative Lindsay made
a mistake in suggesting that
the administration was ready
to bargain away the sections
in the bill which would pro-
tect the Negroes right to equal
treatment. MIR. Kennedy said
quite correctly that he did
not have to defend his own
good faith or the integrity
of the President in seeking
the best bill obtainable in
Congress.
Good for the Bill
What the Attorney General
did not realize quickly enough,
however, Is that nothing but
good could come from a no
BILE rivalry between the Re-
publicans and Democrats In
impCoving the proposed legis-
lation.
President Eisenhower would
never have obtained the frag-
mentary but pioneer Civil
Rights Act Of 1857 without
the resolute cooperation Of
(the them Senator Lyndon
johnson and Speaker s. m
Rayburn. The same kind Of
joint effort by both parties
can alone save the new legis-
lation from being multilated
or lost.
At the root Of the dispute
between the Attorney General
and Representative Lindsay
is a serious difference over
constitutional principles. Mr..
Lindsay would rest the bill
on the Fourteenth Amend
ment; the Attorney General
believes the section dealing
with public accommodation
should more wisely rest on
the commerce clause.
without doubt, there is a
strong though unconvincing
case for using the Fourteenth
Amendment. In recent years
most Of the gains won by Ne
groes have resulted from their
use Of this amendment. That
in itself is a tribute to the
power Of growth and adaptal
ton inherent In the American
judicial system. We tend to
forget that in the last CEN
tury this same amendment
was often used to justify the
most extreme claims Of prop
erty and business.
The provisions In the
amendment which protect
human rights were largely
ignored. They were. in fact,
discovered and applied on a
generous scale in our time.
But the Supreme Court will
deal only in its coming term
with the validity of the Four
tenth Amendment as 1t ap-
plies to individual rights in

Conservation practices with

Chairman, Kent Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
County Committee, reminded
farmers today at Dover.
"About 85percent of the Wild
life in the United States is pro-
duced on privately owned farms
and ranches" he stated. This
means that most wildlife ami =
mails depend on farmers and
ranchers for survival require
ments food, water and cover.
Conservation farming brings
double benefits Ito the general
farm enterprise and TO wildlife

The Chairman pointed out that
recreation can become sec
ondary enterprise on land where
wildlife conservation is an in
tegral part of day to day farm
ing, thus supplementing the far
mer's income as well as pro-
viding city visitors with hunt
ing, fishing, picnicking, boating

Conservation Farming
Benefits Fish, WiIdHfe

In farming areas" he said,
FARMERS are becoming more
conscious of the advantages of
conservation practices which
benefit wildlife, thus improving
hunting and fishing opporuni-
ties and at the same time con-
serving and protecting the
farms soil, water, and wood
land resources" !"
1t is true, MIR. Bowdle declar-
ed, that many conservation
practices are costly TO perform
and do nor offer financial re-
turns to farmers which are at
tractive enough in the immedi-
ate future to get the needed
amount of such practices ap-
piled to the land. With ACP
sharing the cost, however, it
becomes possible in many cas-
es to carry out approved con-
servation practices that are in
the public interest and also are
of benefit to the individual far
mer or rancher.
Some ACP practices which
provide food, water and cover
for wildlife, as well as con-
serve the FARMS soil, water
and woodland include:
Water storage structures,
which make possible (l) bet
ter distribution of grazing,
thereby prolonging the benefits
from grassland pastures; ~

Keep Your
Christmas
Safe as w ell.
as Merry

The appearance OF your tree
on Christmas morning will re-
fleet the treatment 1t has re-
ceived since it was cut down,
according to Ernest N. Scar
borough, associate professor of
agriculture engineering at the
University ofDelaware. The sa-
fety of the Christmas tree also
depends on how 1t has been kept,
he says.
Christmas trees should be
stored outside, or at least in
the coolest place available un-
til time for decorating. Storage
in a warm place will cause a
tree to dry excessively, which,
In turn, may cause needles to
drop off and create a fire ha-
zard.
Before placing the tree in
its stand, diagonal cut should
be made across the trunk about
an inch above the base. This
cut will make possible for the
treer%to absorb more water.
The cut surface of the trunk
should be completely covered
with water at all times. When
the tree is in a warm room,
1t may use pint or more of
water daily; therefore, large
container is desirable for the
stand.
Scarborough says keeping the
tree standing in water is the
most practical, satisfactory,
and convenient method in re-
ducing the fire hazard and keep
ing the needles from discol-
oring or falling.
Live green boughs and
branches make attractive dec
orations, but they will remain
attractive longer if they are
arranged in water to keep
them fresh and to reduce the
fire hazard. If 1t is not pos
sible to place greens or trees
in water, they may be made
flame-retardant by immersing,
spraying or sprinkling with a
solution of nine ounces of borax
and four ounces of boric acid
powder mixed with one gallon
of warm water.
Christmas trees, wreaths,
mantles, and windows fire.
quently are decorated with
colored lights. These lights,
however, can be a fire hazard
or give a serious shock to
children or adults if the cords
and connections are not in good
condition. Scarborough sug-
gests checking all lights and
electrical decorations before
using them.
For safety's sake, he sug-
gests discarding old strings of
lights which have bad insulation
and show signs of deterioration.
When buying new lights, check
to see that they bear the I'm
derwriters' label of inspec-
tion, certifying good workman
ship and materials.
! Aluminium trees should never
| be trimmed with electrical dec
orations, Scarborough cautions.
A break In the insulation of
light strings used on these trees
could conduct electricity to the
tree and make the whole tree
a serious shock hazard. He
recommends using a spot lamp
placed some distance from the
tree to illuminate it.
BY taking a few precautions
as you put up your Christmas
decorations, you can help to
assure that your Christmas will
be a safe one.

sKEocHs SPEECH ON SUGAR
Continued from yesterdays issue)

Persons bent on destroying
the sugar industry on ST. Croix
often give as the main point
20 justify their position that
the sugar industry only pays
wages Of SOC. per hour. This
is a gross and willful misin-
depreciation Of the facts. True,
the legal minimum rate for
field work is set at SOC. per
hour, BUT, actual earnings
run from SOC. to $1,30 per hour
since most of the operations,
particularly the harvesting Of
sugarcane, are done on a
~piece-work basis and the
earnings Of the workers are,
in most instances, far in ex-
cess Of the established mini
mum. VICORP's report at the

Some Of the technical details of the Electric Cooperative
proposal evidently have. raised some apprehensions when it
thought perhaps it locked as if a corporation were being
proposed, rather than a cooperative. That apprehension can be
laid to rest Immediately. It will be a cooperative, it has tobe
a cooperative. No other form Of organization will do for our
purposes in the situation we have here in ST. Croix.
The propose. as madeis a starting point-there is no need
for details to remain as they are now. Rather it is to be ex-
pected that they will be modified and changed to suit the var
sng viewpoint and needs that will appear as the plan develops.
a Cooperative is a very neutrality-suspicious. fcrm-within
limits. Naturally a coop must have the attributes of a coop.
The thingsnecessary are-openI membership to ali who partici-
pate in the co-ops particular project and the restriction that
no others may be members. In our case it will be. opento
everyone who will have an electric meter on st. Croix. The
other necessary chaEateristic is that the benefits of the CO.
operative must come back to the members. Within these board
outlines the cooperative can have any operating details. that
IS members feel BEST fit the particular Situation.
On ST. Croix the, solution to the electric power problem
must be a Coop for We wihbe competing with the local gov
eminent for the power system. It must be a coop made up of
st. Croix citizens. No corporation, or other corporate form, or
syndicate, or group, or. inrividual can compete against the 10
cal government. Only a Cooperative can hope to be successful.

changed into body fat.
We do not know all the
reasons why some people eat
too much, but we do know
that no diet Is successful If it
supplies too many Galleries.
Any diet results in weight
loss as long as it cuts down
on enough calories.
But the diet will not be
healthful unless it Is wisely
planned. Nor win 1t be last
ing unless 1t changes habits
permanently.
To be effective, q diet must
include all essential nu-
trients, and 1t must take into
consideration an individuals
likes and dislikes. A diet
must not be furnishing, and
1t cannot be magic. Fast
weight loss by rigid restric-
ton is no good, for the
pounds soon pie up again.
The only way to yin the bat
tie Of the bulge Is to beat q
slow and steady retreat.
Exercise will help. Moderate
and regular exercise does
not increase the appetite,
and 1t does burn up extra
Galleries. For example, a brisk
walk every day for q year
can remove 10 pounds. Far
better, certainly, than adding
10 poundsI AS q fringe bene-
fit, exercise makes one feel
better and increases the
sense Of well being.
Finally, how much Is too
much? This Is q personal
problem, to be determined by
an individual and his physi-
clan. Only one thing Is sure:
Too much Is definitely too
much. The best prescription
was stated by the late expert,
Dr.. Norman Jolliffe: avoid
overweight, and II overweight
