COUPLE RENTS
MAIL BOX TO
BLUE BIRDS
Persistence finally paid off for
a pair of blue birds who are rais
ing a brood in the - paper box of
Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Futeh.
Being somewhat inconvienced by
the nest in the box, Mrs. Futch
pulled it out several times, but
each time the determined pair
would start right in rebuilding it,
thinking, no doubt, that tornadoes
were bad in that section.
Mrs. Futch relented and turned
the box over to the blue birds and
their five eggs. It fact, she has a
new paper box so the birds can
go about their housekeeping com
pletely undisturbed.
Several residents in the Pem
broke section, and probably in
many others, have rented their
paper boxes to the birds for the
season and, with the co-operation
of Miss Beverly Jane Barker,
agent for the Savannah Morning
news and Evening Prass, made
other arrangements for the time
being.
Chevy’s come up with the new
est, sweetest, smoothest auto
matic drive—Turboglide. It's
the first and only triple-turbine
transmission!
Turboglide is something really new
and different in automatic drives.
In the first place, there's only one
forward-speed position on the con
trol panel. There’s no “Low”
needed.
Turboglide handles everything
with the oil-smooth action* of
triple turbines. You travel from a
standstill to top cruising speeds
with never a lurch or lag to mar
your motion.
Bryan Conservation
Reserve Totals Are
Announced by Chm.
While reports on participation
are not yet complete, estimates
are that Bryan County farmers
have contracted to put about 158
acres of land in the Soil Bank’s
Conservation Reserve, R. E. Le£,'
chairman of the County Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva
tion Committee, said today.
For participating in the pro
gram, these farmers will be eli
gible for conservation reserve pay
ments totaling about $2795 this
year. Os this amount, about $1529
would be practice payments for
applying conservation measures to
the land and $1266 would be the
first of the annual payments to
be made each year for the period
,of the contracts.
In Bryan County, there has been
a heavy signup of contracts call
ing for A-7 practice, planting
trees. About 153 acres are slated
to be devoted to the practice.
The chairman said that about
14 pei' cent of the contracts placed
the entire eligible acreage of the
farm in the conservation reserve.
Nationally, Department of Agri
culture officials estimate that
7 million acres have been con
tracted for the conservation re
serve under the program which
closed for this year on April 15.
Farmers taking part in the pro
gram would be eligible for a total
of about sll2 million this year, of
which $50.5 million would be prac
tice payments and $61.1 million
would be the first year’s annual
payments.
Os the contracts so far through
out the Nation, about 14 per
cent placed the entire eligible acre
age of the farm in the Conserva
tion Reserve. More than 500,000
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
acres are to be planted to trees
under the contracts — mostly in
states bordering the Great Lakes
and in the Southeast. In the Great
Plains, many of the contracts call
for grassland plantings.
Soil Bank officials feel that
they are well along toward their
goal of 25 million acres in the pro
gram by 1960 —the final year for
singing Conservation Reserve con
tracts.
JR. PATROLMEN AT
BCHS TO SPEND
WEEK AT CAMP
Six junior patrolmen at the
Bryan County High School will
spend a week at Lake Blackshear
near Cordele in June.
The trip to the patrol camp
comes as a reward for manning
their designated posts before and
after school. Their duties are to
aid school children in crossing at
dangerous intersections. Those
who ride busses are expected to
see that the school buses are given
the right of way and that no child
enters or leaves the bus until all
traffic is stopped.
The patrolmen and junior po
lice are furnished rain-coats,
caps, badges and cap rain cover
throughout the year.
The youths will leave on Sun
day, June 16 for the camp and
return the following Sunday. They
are Marvin Medders, Freddy Win
ters, Larry Lane, Billy Bazemore,
Jimmy Futch and Donald Hodges.

Forestry News
Orders for forest tree seedlings
received during acceptance dates
—between June 1 and October 1—
will be given special priority,
James Richey of the Bryan Coun
ty Forestry Unit said today. Those
received before June 1, will be
filled and handled in a routine
manner, he added, and orders
placed after October 1, will be dis
regarded unless there is a surplus
of seedlings on hand.
The Ranger pointed out that
many Georgians have been filing
their orders months ahead of ac
ceptance dates, with the apparent
belief they will receive special con
sideration. According to Refor
estation Chief Sanford Darby, he
said, “all seedling orders received
before October 1 will be handled
without consideration of mailing
dates. No discrimination will be
shown in handling any order re
ceived before October 1.”
Richey said orders received be
fore acceptance dates hamper
operations in the reforestation de
partment and stand a chance of
being lost or misplaced before the
seedlings are lifted. He urged
everyone to cooperate with the
seedling program, emphasing
that this years seedling produc
tion production is expected to yield
a bumper crop with enough plants
to supply the demand.

THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
of every American to own property
and to dispose of it as he sees fit
has been placed in grave jeopardy
by the decision of the United
States Supreme Court that Girard
College in Philadelphia cannot be
operated according to the terms of
the will which created and finances
it.
Girard Col
lege was found
ed in 1848 under
a $2 million be
quest made by
Stephen Girard
to. the City of
Philadelphia in
1831 to be used
in establishing
a school for “poor white male
orphans” and has been operated
since that time solely on the pro
ceeds ftom that bequest which now
has accrued into an endowment of
more than SIOO million. Notwith
standing the fact that not one cent
of public funds ever has been spent
on the institution, the Supreme
Court held that since it is ad
ministered by the state-created
Board of Directors of City Trusts,
that board is “an agency of the
State” and, under the Court’s inter
pretation of the Fourteenth
Amendment, cannot exclude any
student on the grounds of race.
* * *
HERETOFORE IT WAS basic
legal doctrine that a man had the
right to will his property in any
manner he might choose and that
the trustees of his estate acted as
private persons in carrying out his
wishes. This decision now raises 1
sophomore year at Wesleyan Col
lege. She returns home early next
week and will leave for her sum
mer work on June 24. The camp
is located near Portland, Maine.

, the question of whether, under ita
terms, any conditions whatsoever
can be imposed upon the benefleU
ary of a bequest. It further casts
doubt as to whether * state
appointed administrator or execu
tor legally can abide by the stipula
tions of a will if they are chal
lenged on the grounds of dis
crimination.
Additionally, since virtually all
private schools, institutions, organ
izations and clubs—and all incor
porated private business firms —
operate under corporation charters
issued by state governments, thia
ruling also raises the question of
whether in the future the Court
will declare them, too, to bo “agen
cies of the state” subject to ita
decrees.

THIS EXTENSION OF the Su
preme Court’s concept of sociolo
gical jurisprudence, carried to Ita
ultimate conclusion, robs a man of
the one means by which ho can
project his wishes and influence
beyond the day of his deathj that
is, by the disposition of his prop
erty through the terms of his last
will and testament.
Even more ominous is the fast
that it is another alarming evi
dence that the Justices of the
United States Supreme Court have
set themselves up as a law-making
body superior to the Constitution
of the United States, Anglo-Saxon
common law and the teachings of
the Holy Writ.
