Just outside the big United States air base at Kadena on that Pacific Is land which is the nerve cen ter of Ameri can defenses in the Far East there has sprung up one of the vilest and most no- torious areas of organized vice the world has ever seen. It is a complex of 16 so-called “recrea tion” villages known as the “Koza Area” in which more than 5500 bars and at least 15,000 “hostesses” cater to the basest of human desires. An article written several years ago for Harpers Magazine by a former Marine officer stationed there reported a resulting venereal disease rate running as high as 15 per cent. * * • THIS DEPLORABLE situa tion has been called to the at tention of the highest authori ties, but not for the reason one might imagine. The complaints are not that young Americans are being corrupted on Okinawa but rather that they are indulg ing m depravity on a segregated basis. Through the operation of vol untary’ preference, specific sec tions of the “Koza Area” have come to be patronized exclusive ly by white and colored service personnel. The custom is that white troops go to “Koza Busi ness Center” and Negro service men use the section known as “Koza Four Corners.” Military Police have reported that vio- Friends of Bill Jones, who is in the University Hospital in Au gusta wish him a speedy recovery. ♦ * * ♦ Mr. and Mrs. C.

An advertisement in the Eagl« brings desired results. lence results when men of one race enter the area reserved by the other. Negro Congressman Charles C. Diggs, Jr., of Michigan has complained to Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara that the inability of Negro soldiers to engage in integrated sin on Oki nawa constitutes a failure on the part of the Defense Depart ment “to defend the rights and welfare of the troops.” Assist ant Defense Secretary Carlisle P. Runge has agreed that such is “detrimental to the com mand.” * * * INSTEAD OF ACTING to clean up the vice on Okinawa, Lt. Gen. Paul W. Caraway, High Commissioner to the Ryu kyu Islands and Army Com mander for the Island, is taking steps to eliminate segregated vice by bringing various pres sures upon establishments which “practice or condone racial dis crimination.” His course has prompted even the apologetic Washington Post to observe that “his reform approach ... is to clean up segregated vice, not vice per se.” It is hardly a source of com fort to the mothers of our men in uniform or to those millions of Americans who still believe in old-fashioned morality to know that the Armed Services of our country are more interested in ending segregation than in com batting sin. It is a sad com mentary upon how ridiculous has become the posture of our national government as the re sult of cynical attempts to ex ploit racial minorities for politi cal gain.

We hope । that you have studied and com . pared your net income as a coop ', orator and as a non-cooperator to I determine if you will participate I or not. Today I will give you some in . formation on the conservation ; uses of the program. If you need ‘ additional information, you should । contact the county ASCS office. The diverted acreage may be devoted to permanent-type rota tion cover of grasses and legumes. You may use temporary cover of grasses, legumes, or small grains. Water storage and wildlife food or habitat plantings can qualify for the conservation uses provi sion. ’ You may also plant trees or 1 shrubs to take advantage. There are restrictions to the ' conservation uses of the Feed ’ Grain Program for these diverted ’ acres, so check with the ASCS office before the sign-up is over on March 30 if you are going to participate. । PRE-EMERGENCE COTTON WEED CONTROL ’ The use of chemicals for pre emergence weed control for cot ton is now being accepted as a good method. It is efficient as well as economical. A great deal of research has been done on the correct chemi cals to use in this, and if you will contact my office, I will be glad to furnish you the desired infor ' mation. It is most important that > you follow the correct recommen ■ dations in order to benefit.

CARE OF COW AT CALVING TIME Calving time is one of the most important or crucial times in a cow’s life. There are things a cow man may do at this time that may save the calf’s life and the cow’s, too. According to research, you can increase the number of calves raised from 50 per cent to 90 per cent by following a few simple management practices. Heavy springing cows should be placed in a pasture with a few shade trees for protection from the sun. A thinly wooded area is needed for a windbreak, too. The calving pasture needs to be checked two or three times a day. The more you check, the better. The new calf should be tattoed or ear tagged for identification as early as possible. If you delay this task for a day or two, the ' job of handling the calf becomes ■ somewhat harder. ' SKIP-ROW COTTON PLANTING ' This year you will have an op portunity to select the pattern that best suits your cotton opera tion as far as “skip-row” planting is concerned. The four row limitation on ski row planting will not apply to this year’s cotton crop. Under the new system, only land actually planted to cotton will be counted as cotton land in determining com pliance with acreage allotments and marketing orders. Boost State With Positive Approach, Minter Suggests ATLANTA, (GPS) — Georgians who profess a sincere interest in Georgia’s continued economic . growth would do well to promote industrial development in a posi tive rather than a negative man ner, in the opinion of Jack J Minter, director of the Georgis | Department of Commerce. Minter’s statement was prompt ed by the remarks of a Georgia Tech industrial management pro fessor, Dr. Sherman F. Dallas, who recently told a Savannah civic club that some Georgia com munities are privately working to keep new industry out. of the state for fear of having to pay higher wages. The commerce director, who said he was not familiar with the industrial survey Dr. Dallas claims he made in this field, took strong exception to the professor’s asser tion in which he declined to re veal the names of communities supposedly working against indus trialization. “Such reports have absolutely no foundation,” Minter declared. “If they (the new industries) are reputable, I don’t know of any community that would work to keep them out. Those who pro fess a sincere interest in Georgia’s future could contribute much to ward our industrial development program’s success if they would adopt a positive rather than s negative attitude.” If sewing fiberglass makes your skin itch, rinse hands often with cold water, use talcum powder on hands and arms or use a lo tion with a silicone base, suggests Miss Ava Rodgers, Extension home furnishings specialist.

Interest In Pecans Demonstrated By Dodge 4-H Project A 4-H Club project has been responsible for the planting of 3,500 pecan trees in two years in Dodge County. Businessman W. S. Stuckey says he plans to continue sponsoring the project at least three more years, with the goal of adding a total of 10,000 to the county’s pe can tree population. This winter, for the second year, Mr. Stuckey has made the trees available to 4-H’ers on a one-for one basis. For every seedling of the Desirable variety a boy or girl would purchase for $1.65, he would give them another. Last year the Stuart variety was pur chased for this project. Mr. Stuckey worked closely with County Agent Carter Mar tin in planning and carrying out the project, with the county agent giving instructions to those who obtained the seedlings. “Most of the boys and girls have done an excellent job of planting their trees,” the county agent said. Mr. Stuckey is a man with a lot of faith in the future of the pecan, which he calls the ‘neglect- I ed nut.” This is understandable, since he has built a firm doing an annual business of about sl6 million around the pecan. From his Eastman plant and office he directs the chain of 103 roadside stores in 29 states. He refers to the pecan as the “neglected nut” because he thinks the potential for marketing pecans is far from being what it should. “There is tremendous room for i — Lei Us Help You Protect Your Property W.

One stumbling block to develop ment, he said, has been great fluc tuations in prices from year to year. “This tends to scare a lot of people off from making-prod ucts that use pecans.” A depend able supply and a more stable price could lead to expansionoof the pecan market, he said. Stuckey’s now uses about-4^ million pounds of pecans a year, and is planning to build a cold storage plant in Eastman that will hold one million pounds. Mr. Stuckey said he should like to see other pecan using and pro cessing businesses sponsor a plant ing program such as he has with Dodge County 4-H members. As an indication of the interest he believes they would get, he pointed out results of an offer he made to send a booklet on pecan growing in a recent item in a farm magazine. Although the offer was made at the end of a short article in the December issue of the mag azine, by the end of January he had already received over I,OCO rquests. Many of them were from states as far away as New York, , Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Nearly all were from out of Geor gia because the book, a Georgia Extension Service bulletin, ha<l already been available to Geoi gians at county agents’ offices for about two years. t - — — .
