LEARNING FROM
DR. SCHWEITZER
Incongruous as it may seem, a group
of U.S. scholars are journeying the philos¬ to
Equatorial Africa to study value
ophy of brotherhood and its to
qur ‘hopes for world peace. The group
}s visiting Dr. Albert Schweitzer at his
missionary hospital at Lambarene, just
south of the equator. The Africa youthful at
scholars who are Dr. going Schweitzer to
the invitation of are
students of philosophy, religion and
civic affairs from all parts of the U.S.
They will hold a series of meetings
with the world-famed Nobel Prize win¬
ner. The purpose of the visit is to clar¬
ify and publish English translations
of Dr. Schweitzer’s philosophy in an
American “primer” that could well be
a foundation for a type of thinking
that is all too lacking in today’s world.
The meetings are being sponsored
by the U.S. headquarters of the
Schweitzer Education Foundation
which has appealed for all the aid pos¬
sible to finance young students on the
trip, plus financing hospital doctor equipment
pnd supplies that are the Schweit¬ s ever
present need. A hint of Dr.
zer’s fundamental philosophy which is
particularly appropriate as the nation
enters a critical New Year is revealed
in one of Iris Sunday sermons: There
is a great river behind us (adjacent reaches
to Lambarene). In its upper

INAUGURATION WEATHER
Inauguration Day, 1961, arrives
on Jan. 20, a Friday, opening a big
“three-day weekend” which has be¬
come so popular in America. It
comes in a week notable for the bir
days of two great Americans, Ben¬
jamin Franklin, Jan. 17, and Robert
E. Lee, Jan 19.
It is fitting that the sun shine on
the new President as he takes oath
of office. This has not always been
true, and the weather on this date
has not always proved an omen of
the way the new President’s fortune
would run.
For 1961’s Inauguration Day, as
you will note in our predictions for
the month, We call for fair weather.
This is a rather bold unqualified
prognostication to make so far in
advance, but there it is.
If other weather forecasters, in¬
cluding those operating under official
auspices with the latest instruments
and observations, are able to do bet¬
ter with a forecast made within 24
hours of the day, let ’em! To para¬
phrase a great Frenchman, our word
to the U. S. Weather Bureau is this:
“The weather may not always agree
with what you say, but we’ll pay our
taxes indefinitely to help you work
out a way to say it better!”

“I FOUND IT”

Something in a Bottle!
A research chemist friend of mine,
working for the citrus industry in
Florida,, was trying to find salable
use for a waste product—orange oil.
The stuff worked in cigarette lighters.
It did fairly well as an insecticide

roaches and other tropical pests. It
was tried in fish markets ana restau¬

research into the health angle was
started. It’s a long story, and inter¬

for local merchants’ ads—nor news.
It must be condensed. After many
tests the mixture of orange oil and
several moderating ingredients was
finally approved by the Food & Drug
Administration for two specific uses

LUMBER NOT AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCT
In a recent official opinion to the
Honorable Phil Campbell, Commis¬
sioner of Agriculture, Eugene Cook,
the Attorney General, has held that
lumber is not an agricultural pro¬
duct within the definition contained
in 'the State Warehouse Act (Ga.
Laws 1953, Nov.-Dee. Sess., p. 412).
Mr. Cool, noted that Section 2(d)
of the Act provided as follows:
“(d) The term ‘agricultural pro¬
duct’ means, individually and col¬
lectively, all grains, cotton, pea¬
nuts, meat, fruits, vegetables, and
other farm products offered or ac¬
cepted for storage in their raw or
natural state; provided, however,
that products which have been
processed only to the extent to
shelling, cleaning, and grading
shall be included, and, provided
further, that any warehouseman
storing refrigerated and/or pro¬
cessed agricultural products may,
at his option, come under the oper¬
ation of this Act.”
He also noted that the Supreme
Court of Georgia in the case of Col¬
lins v. Mills, 198 Ga. 18, stated:
‘According to its usual signifi¬
cation, the term ‘lumber’ would
not ordinarily be classified as a
farm product; and therefore, as to
this lumber, it would be presumed
prima facie that it was not such
a product.”
Under these authorities, the At¬
torney General stated that lumber
did not come within the definition of
an agricultural product as used in
the State Warehouse Act; and,
hence, a warehouse storing lumber
could not be licensed under that Act,
“Thane ia so much good in tha
wont of us and so much Rad in th*
