Dinwiddie, Va.: I remember when the orchard was natu rally a part of the farm, re gardless of whether the fruit was not particularly worm or bug free. You competed with these natural enemies the best you could because way back then you did not have DDT or parathion. Now. with all the modern methods of battling the worms and insects, how many modery farms can boast an orchard or grape arbor? My folks had upwards of thirty apple, peach, pear and plum trees. But my favorite haven was the grape arbor. I haunted it whether the grapes were there or not, but especially around the time of my birth day, August 8, when the first blue grapes were ripening. It was always cool under the canopy of leaves and so many dreams could be dreamed there in the quiet and solitude which is important to all growing children. Oh, yes, I remember my childhood with much happi ness, but the thing I remember most is that wonderful orchard and grape arbor. Thank you, mom and pop.

Tucker County Agent 1 rees and shrubs are be ginning to take on their fall color. This is the signal for some garden plants to come to a close for this season and for others to start. Gardening's in terest and challenge originates here since wise planning and some preparation for coining seasons must be begun during the present time. Such is the case with spring flowering bulbs. Preparation for the fall planting ol bulbs consists of some very important steps before you purchase and actu ally plant your bulbs. Number one is the selection of a site on which to grow bulbs. The best site is one which is preferably sunny and slightly sloped. Specimen flowers on daffodils, narcissus, tulips, crocus and hyacinths usually result when the planting site receives full sun. These bulbs will grow and flower in partially shaded areas but never seem to reach per fection. The soil condition ranks very high in considera tion ot a place to grow bulbs. Excess rainfall should drain off and water should percolate through the soil. Bulbs like so 1 many plants cannot stand wet teet. If conditions of excessive moisture occur for very long the bulbs will rot. Most bulbs will grow satis factorily in most soils. Making sure of the drainage is the real key for gardeners in clay soil areas. Gardeners with a loamy soil do not face this problem. Regardless of the soil type or condition it is always a good idea to prepare the entire planting bed rather than in in dividual holes for the bulbs. Always spade or plow down to a depth ot 12 inches. Remove or break any clods of earth, remove any debris such as stones and weeds. In other words, clean up the soil. Then work 3-4 inches of organic matter or humus into the soil. Also add 2/3 cup of a 6-12-12 fertilizer per 10 square feet of planting area. Work these materials uniformly through out the bulb bed. Beatnicks, Beware Beards have long been frowned on in world armies. From about the third century 8.C., soldiers were ordered to shave, not only for hygienic reasons but because whiskers gave a handhold to an enemy in close fighting. During 1967, more than a million veterans applied for VA medical care. 20,000 more than in the previous year. /fAMIirPOT tUCKj BY HELEN HALE ^7 Whit e sauce made with chicken or meat stock is ele gant, especially when seasoned with nutmeg. Serve with cro quettes or fish dishes. To spruce up the flavor of frozen meat pies, serve each baked pie with a dab of sour cream; if desired, top with a few toasted almonds. Hamburger and ground beef are both ground from boneless chunks of less tender beef along with the less popu lar cuts such as neck meat, stew cuts, the plate, brisket, flank, shank and trimmings from boned roasts. However, hamburger may have addi tional fat added to it, where ground beef does not. Freezing does not improve the quality of foods. Foods carefully selected and properly prepared retain their quality, depending upon length of time stored and temperature during storage. Because freezing doesn’t im prove the quality of fruits, select fruit that is firm, evenly ripe, and at peak ripeness for eating. Immature fruit becomes pale and tasteless in the freezer; overripe fruit turns dark.

Mt McDonald spoke on the importance ol each student Sensing the News By Thurman Sensing EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT Southern States Industrial Council MORE ABOUT FORTAS Though the Johnson ad ministration is trying to smear Senate opponents of the nomi nation of Abe Fortas as Chief Justice, the movement to block the nomination is gaining strength. Already, President Johnson has failed in his initial objective of forcing the nomi nation through virtually with out consideration. Certainly, the Johnson ad ministration made a serious tactical error when Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark attacked the sin cerity of Senators opposing the Fortas nomination. He said that the opposition consisted of Senators who oppose “equal rights." Immediately. Senators from many parts of the coun try replied to Mr. Clark’s crude attempt to drag a red herring across the issue. Sen. James B. Pearson of Kansas called Clark’s allegations "unfair and unworthy .. . press relations blackmail, and attack on the integrity of the Senate.” It is indeed unfortunate that Mr. Clark would attempt this kind of political hatchet work in stead of busying himself with contributing the most of his ability to make G P. Babb the best school in the state of Georgia. From the way things are looking now, we are looking forward to another great year at Babb. Kyle Kinman Publicity Chairman prosecuting anarchists and other law breakers now troubl ing the nation. Whereas Senate considera tion ol the Fortas nomination began with a discussion of the impropriety of cronyism, the opposition to the elevation of Mr Fortas has broadened con siderably Sen. Strom 1 hur mond ol South Carolina brought to the attention of the Senate the role of Associate Justice Fortas in decisions in obscenity cases. Sen Jack Miller ol lowa, in joining the opposition to the Fortas nomi nation, asserted that Mr Fortas had participated in court de cisions on obscentiy which Miller said are destructive of moral standards. One of the decisions Sen. Miller cited over turned a lower federal court ruling that three strip-tease films were hard-core pornog raphy. Certainly, if Mr. Fortas is soft on the pornography ques tion, he is unlit to serve as Chief Justice, in fact, even as Associate Justice. One of the worst evils in the country to day is the spread of pornog raphic material It reaches great numbers of young people and savings to shippers is nearly $7.5 million. One of our “long-handled coal shovels” is part of still another innovation in coal distribution rail-to-raii transloading. Coal originating in small shipments at low-volume mines is pooled at a transloader for reloading into the high total tonnages required for economical, efficient unit-train movement.

You turned me down for disability last year because I had not worked long enough Has there been any change since that lime so that you can now pay a 45 year old disabled worker? A. No. A person who be conies disabled after 31 must still have the live years work out ot 10 years before he be came disabled. Q Why doesn t social security pay a person for the first six months after he be comes disabled? A After the six month your disability begins, there is a waiting period of <> full cal endar months before benefit payments may start Benefits may not be payable for any month during the six-month waiting period. Ilie social security program is not de signed Io pay people with temporary disabilities Q. What medical evidence is necessary to establish my claim for disability payments? A. Ordinarily the evidence from your attending physician and clinical reports from your hospital are all that’s necessary Sometimes, we may need more information Then social security arranges for a qualified specialist to examine you exposes them to a corrupting influence. The Communists are said to be shipping large quantities ol pornography into the United States m an effort to under mine the moral standards of America's young people. Ihe smut peddlers have been able to get away with their vicious trade because the U.

When he appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he refused to discuss court de cisions in which he had taken part or to discuss the legal philosophy that lay behind his rulings. He said it would be unconstitutional ami improper lor him to explain himself. But it has come Io light that he recently wrote a booklet en titled “Concerning Dissent and Civil Disobedience." He is per fectly willing to write a tract transloading —two among many innovations at work on Southern Railway, squeezing the waste out of distribution ... to the benefit of shippers and consumers alike.

Chairman Public Attairs Dept tor the times touching on is sues that will come before him on the Supreme Court, but re fuses to answer questions put by a coordinate branch ol the U S. government. Benjamin Ginzburg, former research director of the Senate Subco m m 11 tee on Con- J stitutional Rights and assistant editor of the Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, has made this telling comment on Justice Fortas’ tract. "Had Fortas published his pamphlet before he was nomi- I naled and confirmed as As sociate Justice. I believe there would have been proper grounds for disqualifying him for membership in the Su preme Court . Litigants will cite Fortas’ doctrines in their briefs and oral hearings. What is perhaps more important, the attitude of the court majority, who have in a number of de cisions condoned direct action illegalities by the use of legal quibbles, may now, through the influence of Mr Fortas as Chief Justice, harden into an open doctrine of the rights of civil disobedience, thus foster ing greater disrespect for the law and Ilie violence which ac companies disrespect." This pamphlet should be closely considered by the Sen ate Judiciary Committee. If Mr. Ginzburg is right in his analysis, it provides additional reason why the full Senate should insist (hat the noun- i the South and help industries al ready located along our lines to grow and expand, providing more and better hometown job oppor tunities.
