A demonstration came from Taylor’s backers with cries “We want a fair election.” This concession had been made by Dr. Jackson when he authorized Rev. W. K. Jackson of Oklahoma, to speak regard¬ ing election procedure. “When, the election is held on Thursday every candidate’s name is to be placed before the body and every qualified del¬ egate be given a chance to vote,” Rev.

Little Edward, a cerebral palsy child, is currently receiving out-patient treatment at tha Atlanta Easter Seal’ Treatment Center.

An officer at the microphone moved the adoption of the re- port and another seconded it and called for Mate.

Tcn Cent Remedy” A story has been told ... of , two . young people who were about to break up a love affair be- cause of the young man’s ne- j gleet of !he young lady. The young man was unwiilling to break up the love affair and therefore confessed his neglect and offered to the young lady a present as a .seal lo their re¬ stored relationship if she would give to him another chance and settle the matter with him. She agreed to the proposal. He took her down town In the most exclusive section, several stores until he finally came to the “right, store,” the five and ten cent store of the town. When they entered, he said to her, “Choose whatever you want.” This story might be oniy amusing to many of us today. But Is it unlike many real life situations that can easily Ibe carried over even Into world situations of today? It is said that a .drowning man will make any kind of promise un- tiil he Is rescued. He will then make any k ind of plan to evade the promise. Emergencies hi life keenly reminds us of those things that we have left un¬ done. Many times, however, the emergencies must remain with us if we are to do those things. It Is not hard for us to reach even difficult conclu¬ sions concerning what “we are going to do” with the next op¬ portunlty which comes our way, while we are going through the emergency. Usually the emergency Is gone when the next opportunity comes. We meet It with another story If we are not reminded of our promise very keenly. During the stress and strain of war, we dream of the many opportunities which we abused during peace time. It is easy to correct our mistakes while we dream but hard to make them real when the emergen¬ cies are over. When the curse of disorder and confusion and discontentment are reborn to us from our misuse or our fail¬ ing to use opportunities, we long for another chance. Each chance that we are granted we use it over and over in an at¬ tempt to full’ll promises in the “five and ten cent” sec¬ tions of our efforts and abil¬ ities. That which we speak about peace is applicable to brother¬ hood, equal rights, neighborli¬ ness and many other princi¬ ples where opportunities *are j opened for our contribution to progress in human relations. Sometimes I think that more promises are made on Janu¬ ary 1 and during election year than any other seasons.

Miller, an agrj- | cultural economist of the U. S, Department of Agriculture, has | been awarded a certificate of merit ! and $250 for the most outstanding , land economics , research , reported , i j during 1959. ! The award was made to the Jamaica-horn economist by the Amevienn Farm Economics Asso- ciiittin at a- recent annual con vent on at Iowa State University. Similar awards went to two other agricultural economists: J. F. Hudson of Louisiana State Uni¬ versity, and Richard Andrews of the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Miller’s research is an ex¬ ploration of methods that might be used in analyzing farm ineffi¬ ciencies due to tenure. The work was done under a cooperative ar¬ rangement between USDA’s Agri¬ cultural Research Service and the Agricultural Experiment Stations of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The study will help to open the way to the solution of a complex farm problem. For many years agricultural economists have been interested in determining the ex¬ tent to which the tenure status (full owners, pnrt owners, cash renters, and sharecroppers) of farm operators affects their effi¬ ciency. Different theories dealing with the subject have been evolved, hut only a few empirical studies have been made to test their validity. This deficiency in agricultural economics research is said to arise, at least partly, from the need for techniques and procedures that will deal adequately with the problems involved. 1)V. Miller’s study helps to fill this need. His research is report ed In the January, 1959, issue of “Agricultural Economics Ri search,” a USDA quarterly. The title of his report is: “Compara¬ tive Efficiency of Farm Tenure Classes in the Combination of Re¬ sources.” The economist first became In¬ terested in how tenure affects farm efficiency in his native Ja¬ maica where he worked in the Land Department, assisting in the resettlement of farm families. A search for the answer brought him to the United States. Here he earned B. S. and M. S. degrees in agricultural economics at the Uni¬ versity of California, and the Ph. D. degree in the field at Iowa State University. The latter was award¬ ed in 1956. As a research associate at fowa State during his student days, Dr. Miller did most of the research for which he was cited. In his posi- tion with the Land and Water | Research Branch of USDA’s Agri- |rulw cultural ,„, Research Service, ... he ... is continuing the study of land-ten- I ore problems. |_______ ] 2,391; and Leslie Hat ey, 1, . .
