MY RECENT TRIP to South
America as representative of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry to the Marketing
Conference of Agricultural At
taches held in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, left me with two profound
impressions.
: One of these
was my first
; hand view of
the results of a
national policy
i of total racial
; integration. No
i segregation i s
i practiced in
| Brazil and the
majority of the people are of mixed
blood. It was my observation that
about 10 per cent of them are
white, another 10 per cent are
black and the remaining 80 per
cent run the gamut of every shade
between. Brazil’s experience in this
regard is a complete and irrefuta
ble answer to those in our own
country who contend that racial
integration does not result in racial
amalgamation.
• • •
THE OTHER THING which
struck me was the evidence on
every hand of the unlimited op
portunities for expanded trade,
particularly in surplus agricultural
commodities, which South America
offers for the United States.
Despite its tremendous wealth of
natural resources, this continent,
outside of its population centers, is
largely undeveloped and the diet of
most of its people consists prin
cipally of beans and rice. In Brazil
•lone, for example, not enough cot-

ton is produced annually to provide
each of its more than 60-million
inhabitants with one item of wear
ing apparel.
From these facts it is easy to
visualize the possibilities for the
export of poultry and dairy prod
ucts, wheat, corn, cotton and other
items which we in this nation are
producing in surplus quantities at
this time.
* • «
EVEN IN THE absence of a
concerted program, the United
States last year sold $523,600,000
in such commodities to the coun
tries of South America and the
Caribbean Area. The agricultural
attaches—all of whom impressed
me as dedicated, knowledgeable
and hard-working men — told me
that this represents only a fraction
of the potential trade ia farm
goods which could be realized
through intensive competitive sales
efforts.
I left Brazil with the firm con
viction that ways must be found to
tap this vast market not only for
the benefit of our own farmers and
domestic economy but also for the
advancement and uplifting of our
neighbors to the South. I could not
help thinking on my return flight
how blindly foolish it is for us here
at home to be so bent on reducing
our agricultural production that we
cannot see and take advantage of
the great demand for our farm
commodities which exists in the
remainder of the world.

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
BY BERNICE McCULLAR
Georgia Department of Education
Take a Look at This: It costs
about nine billion dollars to run 1
the American public schools for i
a year. But take a look at this <
astonishment: American teen- 1
agers have nine billion dol- 1
lars of their own to spend, in ।
earnings or allowances every |
year. Can you believe that teen-;;
agers have as much spending 1 ]
money as it costs to run the! <
schools a year ? Those are the ।
facts. One came from the U. S. \
Office of Education and the other ,
from a research service.
In and Out: “We spent years''
getting all the kids in school. Now ।'
we’d better take time to find out
what they are getting out of '
school,” said a man I know.
Parlez-Vous Francaise? Any
body in your town who could teach
languages? The State Board of 1
Education has just ruled that,
after 1958 all Georgia high schools |
must provide courses in lan- [
guages, physics, and chemistry. |
Problems for rural schools may[
be staff members.
Adult Education Coordinator:
The State Department of Educa
tion plans to develop a program
that will coordinate it? adult
education interest in the state. A 1
full time person to do this has I
been spotted and may be working I
at it by the time you see this in 1
print.
Wise Man: Said a wise man 1
recently: “We must move into
adult education. Adults make
our curriculum and our laws. ।
They formulate political policies
that affect millions. These
adults should have the opportuni
ty to learn about new develop
ments in Government and other
fields. It is tragic when they do
not have enough insight to under
stand how to make decisions that
affect mankind.”
Real Shortage: Norman Cous
ins, editor of Saturday Review,
keeps telling school folks that
America’s real shortage is one
they can remedy. I
“Our principal shortage,” says
Cousins, “Is a shortage of knowl
edge about the rest of the world. ।
We must know more about the >
needs, the hurts', the hopes and
the wants of the majority of the i
world’s people.”
College Bound: About one- ,
third—or 36.3%—0f the gradu- ,
ates of Georgia accredited schools [
go to college, records in the State
Department of Education show. 1
For instance: the 1956 class shows
up this way: 24,573 graduates
Os these 8,934 entered college the
fall after graduation. The stu
dents are divided about equally

One of summer's nicest gifts is its generous offering of plump fresh
berries. A few quick tricks can turn them into elegant desserts that
resemble gay French pastries, but are ever so much simpler to make.
Dainty sponge cake shells from your baker, plus a creamy vanilla filling,
are the two quick tricks that make these tempting Berry Baskets possible.
The filling's made from Royal Instant vanilla pudding, currently starred
as the Royal Favorite-of-the-Month. You’ll find it’s your favorite, too,
in this dessert and a host of others — not only this month but all year
'round.

1 cup light cream 4 to 6 baker’s sponge cake
pkg. (6 tablespoons) Royal shells
Instant pudding, Vanilla flavor 1 cup fresh berries*

though there were about 2000
more girls than boys in high
school graduating classes. These
figures include both whites and
Negroes. There were 21,161 white
graduates, and 3,412 Negro grad-,
uates. There were that same'
year 705 graduates from non
public high schools in Georgia.
Os these, 555—0 r 78.7% entered
college.

men and give them renewed hope and courage.
This masterpiece is the greatest religious painting
of our day. Not only is this picture a work of
art but, in our homes will become an inspiration
for a more abundant life.
You can render a Christian service to yourself,
your family and friends by hanging this master
piece in your home.
This conception of the Christ was the outgrowth
of a desire on the part of the artist to portray
the Savior in a manner that would embrace more
of the qualities of perfection that the Son of God
must possess.
