Walter Dowling Ambassador-in-Residence Walter C. Dowling, former Ambassador to West Germany, has been appointed visiting professor of political science and ambassador-in-residence by Mercer University Presi dent Rufus Carrollton Harris. He will teach a seminar in U. S. Foreign Policy effective March 25. Dowling was ambassador to West Germany from 1959 to 1963. At the conclusion of his service as ambassador, he as sumed the office of director general of the Atlantic Insti tute in Paris, a position he held until recently. Among many honors he is recipient of the Grand Cross of Merit of the Federal Repub lic of Germany and the Gold Badge Order of Merit from the Republic of Austria. His appointment as a For eign Service Officer was made in 1931, thus beginning a ca reer that led to assignments in Norway, Portugal, Italy, Bra zil, Austria and West Germa ny. He served as ambassador PROFILE ON CHINA gross national product in 1968 was at approximately the same level as in 1958. The critical food and popu lation problem is discussed in the agriculture section. It is noted that historically four generations have been requir ed for countries like Japan to modernize and bring popula tion growth rates down to a manageable 1 percent, but Peking is attempting to com press this time span to two generations. The result may be a continued buildup of soc ial pressures of the sort that contribute to the Cultural Rev olution. Recent reports indicate the colldpse of Peking’s birth control programs during the Cultural Revolution with much popular bitterness and resentment, suggesting that the program might not be easi ly restored. The Sino-Soviet dispute is discussed in the section on Foreign Policy, as are the pro blem of the offshore islands held by the Republic of China on Taiwan, and the effect of the Communist parties in oth er Asian countries. U. S. rela tions with Peking are discuss ed in detail, with a summary of the arguments for and a ginst the seating of Peking in the United Nations. The section, titled “For Dis cussion — Pieces of the Chin ese Puzzle”, raises questions about the future of Mainland China. The two-color, 32-page illus trated booklet includes three | maps, eight tables, and 22 pho ' tos and drawings.

DWARF SUPPORT Home and commercial or chardists are reminded by hor ticulturists with the Universi ty of Georgia Cooperative Ex tension Service to support dwarf fruit trees. This can be accomplished by using a post beside the tree or building a trellis as for grapes and then training the fruit trees to grow on the wires. After participating in the training session they are given a written and practical exam ination. If they pass they are , ready for certification. A boy’s employer must have on file a copy of the certifica tion, plus other records re garding his course of study. The employer is also required to give the boy close supervi sion. This includes a check at mid-morning, a check at noon, and another at mid-afternoon. The certificate must be sign ed by the county Extension a gent and the leader who con ducted the training. There are certain exceptions to this law. One is the under 16 years old who is employed by his parents on a farm own ed or operated by his parents. Also the law does not apply to those under 16 years of age who are employed by a person “standing in” for his parents on a farm owned or operated by the parents.

He was assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs be fore being named Ambassador to West Germany. Dowling has served as chairman of the International Council of the Museum of Modern Art. He was gradua ed from Mercer in 1925 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University in 1961. A native of Atkinson, Ga., he is a resident of Savannah. The seminar Dowling will teach will explore in depth practical aspects of the form alization and operation of U. S. foreign policy in the con temporary world, according to President Harris who said, “Mr. Dowling’s appointment to the Department of Political Science will be of inestimable value to the curriculum of the department. His back ground and experience quali fy him to impart information that could not be learned from a textbook.” A remarkable amount of in formation on mainland China has been compressed into a 32-page booklet titled COM MUNIST CHINA, published by the U. S. Department of State’s Bureau of Public Af fairs. COMMUNIST CHINA not only presents a fascinating range of recent, publishable data on the world’s most pop ulous nation, it also raises questions about U. S. policy without pretending to give pat answers. Many of the vital questions raised in the book let are admittedly unanswer able at this stage of history. The booklet is the fourth of the Department of State’s new series, “Issues in United States Foreign Policy.” Other “Is sues” titles: No. 1— MIDDLE EAST, No. 2 — NATO AND THE DEFENSE OF EUROPE, No. 3 — COMMITMENTS OF U. S. POWER ABROAD. The series stresses the circumstan ces affecting policy decisions rather than arguing the deci sions themselves. COMMUNIST CHINA opens with a historical introduction which ends with the critical question: “Is our policy good enough? Can it be improved?” In a profile of mainland China, interesting current data are presented on land, people, government, economy, trans portation, and defense forces. It might surprise some readers to learn for example, that for all her manpower the Chinese Army (2.4 million) is not much larger than that of the United States (1.9 million, in cluding Marines), or the Sov iet Union (2.0 million). In the profile section is a feature explaining why offi cial estimates of China’s pop ulation vary as .much as a hundred million, giving the reader some fascinating in sights into the problems fac ing Asian demographers. A section on politics includ es descriptions of the causes and effects of the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward, with some notes on the Chinese genera tion gap. Problems affecting youth and education, the book let indicates, are even more a cute than they appear in the United States. In the section on economics, it is pointed out that while nearly all other major coun tries have increased produc tion substantially during the last decade, mainland China’s Farm Program Participants Sent Compliance Reminders AU participants in the 1970 feed grain program or plant ing tobacco have been sent a reminder flyer on certification and compliance with these farm programs, according to George Dykes, Chairman of the Brantley County Agricul tural Stabilization and Con servation (ASC) Committee. “It would be a good idea for a farmer to stick that little black-and-yellow leaflet in a spot where it will catch his eye every day reminding him to come in early to the County ASCS Office to certify compli ance,” Mr. Dykes said. The leaflet reminds farmers that early and accurate certifi cation means earlier farm pay ments this year. Farm program payments are expected to be gin soon after July 1 and be completed by the end of Aug ust. Processing and computing of the total payment earned by a participant is begun as soon as he certifies he has complied with program provisions. The flyer also lists four im portant items for producers taking part in the 1970 farm programs: “Do plant within your allot ment, base or permitted acre age on all farms in which you or your family have an inter est. “Do be sure you certify to correct acreage. Once you cer tify your acreage it can’t be adjusted. “Don’t guess your acreage. If in doubt, ask for measure ment service. Errors found on spot checks can be costly. “Don’t certify if you’re not positive that planted, diverted, and conserving base acreages are correct.” The ASC Committee Chair man said it would take pro ducers less than a minute to read the flyer — but that it could be the most important minute of their farm opera tions this year. Mistakes in certifying com pliance can cost farm program participants some or all of the payments they would other wise earn, he said. ABNORMAL YELLOW A lack of iron causes an ab normal yellow color in many centipede grass lawns, accord ing to horticulturists with the University of Georgia Cooper ative Extension Service. The problem can be temporarily corrected by spraying the af fected area with a solution of chelated iron or iron sulfate. Send a letter to North Vietnam. Right now hundreds of Americans are being held captive in North Vietnam. A few prisoners have made it back. They talk about bamboo cages. Vicious beatings. Malnutrition. Humiliation. But the North Vietnamese will tell us nothing. And it’s this silence that makes our appeal more urgent. For the families at home, there is no word on who’s alive. Who’s dead. Or even who’s being held. There is nothing. Except the anguish of not knowing. Maybe you can change this. By writing to the one man who can change it: The Presi dent of North Vietnam. Ask him to release the names of prison ers, allow them to write to their families, and let the Red Cross inspect the prisons to Maybe they’ll open it. State Patrol Approved For Vet Training Atlanta — “On-the-job training as firemen and po licemen continues to be very popular with many young war veterans,” according to Geor gia Veterans Service Director Pete Wheler. He says that these programs are proving to be of great help to Georgia counties and municipalities which are faced with the prob lem of attracting qualified trainees to fill these vital posi tions. Under the training pro grams, supplemental pay is provided the veteran in addi tion to what the city or (coun ty may pay. The amounts vary according to the marital status of the veteran. Such training is not con fined solely to policemen and firemen positions. Recently the Georgia State Patrol also was approved for, on-the-job training and veterans inter ested in training as state troopers should contact Sgt. Fred Portwood at State Patrol Headquarters in Atlanta. Wheeler says that same vet erans who may already be in training with the State Patrol possibly could be eligible for some reimbursement from the VA.

A person must eat a food each day which contains this vita min. Miss Nellie C. Boyd, nu tritionist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Exten sion Service, says a serving of citrus fruit or juice is a good way to get a daily supply of vitamin C.
