The 1868 "season" has not

State Development Department.
For many years, the "season",
as far as Delaware resorts were
concerned, ended on Labor Day,

peace and quiet that went unin-

Indignation Of
Jackson Public
Schools

An appeal was filed in the
Federal Appeals Court in New
Orleans Tuesday by the NAACP
on behalf of the parents of seven
Negro children seeking to have
their children admitted to white
schools in Jackson at the be-
ginning of the September school
term.
One of the children named in
the case is Darnell Kenyatta
Evers, son of Medgar Evers, the
recently slain Mississippi MA
ACP Field Secretary.
The appeal was filed as a re-
suit of the recent dismissal of
the case by U. S. District Judge
Sidney C. Mize.
Appeals Court sources said it
might be several days before a
hearing date is set and judges
named to hear the case. Nor
mally three-judge panel from
the nine judge court hears such
appeals.
Because of the press of de-
segregation matters and other
litigation the Appeals Court has
not taken its regular vacation
for the past two years. A panel
remains on immediate through
out the summer to hear emery
ency matters.

While he took recognition of
the effectiveness of, and the
benefits that have been derived

such demonstrations impaired

Congress to pass legislation that

kenya Grants
Aid To White
Farmers

The extent of the damage
done to Kenya's economy by
the political struggle of the past
three years is being assessed
now. So are ways and means of
repairing that damage.
What particularly worries the
government, now led by Jomo
Kenyatta, is the economic con-
sequences of an exodus of near
ly half the white farming COM
munity-a community which,
although small in number, pro-
duced IS percent of the coun-
try's wealth.
J. S. Gichuru, Minister of FL
nance and Economic Planning,
is tackling the task of finding a
way out of the economic stag
nation which set in during 1860.
Our struggle against the Eu-
ropean farmers was political"
he said, "but, of course, it had
economic consequences which
we did not foresee. We cannot
afford to allow the European
large-scale method of farming
to disappear in favor of small
scale African settlement with
its inevitably lower produc-
tion."
Mr.. Gichuru added that now
that the political aim had been
reached-Kenya will be fully
independent before the end of
this year-top priority will be
given to projects designed to
induce not only the remaining
white farmers to stay, but to
persuade some of those who
have left to return. 1--WE need
them more than we realized"
he said.
Kenya is perhaps the first
country m Africa to consider
projects on the eve of indepen-
dence which will encourage
European settlement rather
than mere aid and trade. The
intention is actually to give
financial assistance to European
farmers who want to settle
here.
A land bank, which already
exists, and an agricultural
finance credit corporation.
which soon will exist, will
make it possible for any per-
son of any color and any
nationality to borrow UP to 80
percent of the cost of a large
farm and further sums to
develop the farm.
A number of white farmers
who did not leave the country
are taking full advantage of
this to increase their farming
activities. Others, who have
left for South Africa, Australia,
the Rhodeslas, and elsewhere
while their future seemed I'M
certain, are beginning to re-
turn.

long forth hands disobeden and

Do we in these modern times
also turn away? Do we content
ourselves with the fact that each
Sunday we make our weekly visit
and thus fulfill our obligation?
Do our friends and neighbors
consider us Christians just be-
cause they see us in church once
a week? Can we really convince
ourselves that this is enough?
Christianity and belief in God
is rightfully a part of our lives
every step of the way. If we well
come God in our hearts each Sun
day, it just isn't possible for us
to turn away the other six days
of the week.
There is time to remember the
goodness of God and to appreci-
ate the blessings of Christianity
in every day of Our lives, where
ever we may be, whatever we
may be doing.
We will find this time with the
realization that the thing to do
when we do not have time to
visit Gods house is to ask God
to come to us.
