BECK Soil Conservation Service Are you interested in building 1 a farm pond on your place'.' If you are. now is a good time to consid- I er the problem involved in farm pond construction here in Hay- j wood County. j In addition to financing, three ' important problems must be solv ed. the most important of which is to make it a safe pond. The flood Saturday 011 Cove Creek points out clearly this problem. To be a safe pond, provision must be made in the design for getting flash flood waters around, over, or under the pond to pre vent its being washed out. The Soil Conservation Service furnishes land owners designs of farm ponds to take care of what hydraulic engineers call a "50 year storm." This doesn't mean that such a storm pill come at 50 year intervals, but it does indicate about the maximum amount of water to be handled over a 50 year period. Drop-inlet spillways, grassed earth spillways, flood storage, or a combination of these three fea tures, along with adequate free board, can be used in designing small earthen dams. Because of the flash flood prob lem, Haywood soil supervisors recommend that landowners con sider building rim ponds or di version ponds. These ponds are built off the main stream chan nels. thus eliminating to a great extent, the problem of getting flash flood waters safely past the dam. The two other problems to be solved in designing small ponds is to be able to drain the pond and to find a site where the soil ma terial will hold water satisfactorily under a hydraulic head.

CURTIS DRUG STORE EXPERIENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE MAIN STREET WAYNESVILLE 0 Junaluska Speaker Sees No Peace In Middle East Until State Of Israel Is Removed By CLIFTON B. METCALF "In my judgment there will be no peace In the Middle East until the new state of Israel is entirely removed," said Dr. Conway Boat man in an Independence Day ad dress at Lake Junaluska. Dr. Boatman is a former educa tional missionary to India. He has been president of Union College of Barbourville, Kentucky, for seven teen years. The board of trustees of the col lege gave Dr. and Mrs. Boatman a four-month expense-paid tour of j Europe and the Middle East during ! the summer of 1955. While there he talked with many prominent officials and was able to observe Middle East problems first hand. Dr. Boatman used this visit as the basis of the address, 'which was entitled "Blunders in j American Policies in the Middle I East and Resulfins Threats t?. I World Peace." "The first great blunder of Am erican policy in the Middle East i was the premature recognition of | the new state of Israel bv Mr. Tru I man, which he did against all his I advisers and not willing to wait for action of the United Nations. "The people of the Middle East all think of this new state of Israel as America's child, and it really ! is because American leadership got ; the state established through politi-' cal pressures of the Zionists. Also because American money has been! pouring into that country through United States government grants | "The American government has granted more funds to this little ! country of 1.700.000 than it has to 1 all Arab states combined with over .forty million population. "This 'America's child' caused 1 the flight of nearly a million Arabs | I out of Palestine when they took | over. And these nearly one million Arab refugees for eight years now. innocent of any wrong doing toward I the Arabs, have been living in squalor, disease, and misery, in | mud huts and tents with not one uenny of reparations for the loss of their homes and the land that they I occupied for 1300 years and their businesses which the Jews took , over. "Therefore if the state of Israel is 'America's child'. America is re- ; sponsible for this injustice against this one trillion Arab refugees. "In my judgment there will be no peace in the Middle East until Is rael is entirely removed. "Fanaticism established it on re ligion and race, and there was noth ' ing but a sentimental reason for its creation. "Besides, it is not an outpost of democracy but a country of state socialism with a primitive commun istic agriculture. "It has no natural resources for! existence and must forever be an | object of charitv clinging to Ameri can purse strings. "In my visit to the Middle East I never witnessed such great mass hatred as exists between Jews and Arabs. "It is interesting to note that American dollars helped to build Bottled j | s^H Jjtarch Transactions In REAL ESTATE Beaverdam Township Mary French Westmoreland to Joseph Robert Westmoreland.

But when Russia made a fleal to assist Egypt, one of the Arab states, with military equipment, what a squeal went up from Wash ington and from the American press. "But why should we squeal if the other .side, the Arabs, receives help after we have poured millions of dollars into the Jewish side in giving them military help. "I raise the question: Will the Middle East be another Korea for America? "In 1950 the United States, Great 1 Britain, and France jointly pledg ed to defend Israel against Arab at tack. But we have not guaranteed the poor Arab states against at tack by Israel. "Mr. Dulles talked about that side of the question, but our com mitment with France and Great Britain to defend Israel is not talk It. is responsible contract. "As American citizens are we go ing to stand for sending our boys to the Middle East to fight and die to defend the injustice perpetrated j against a million Arab refugees. "Washington and tl.e American press, it seems to me squelch in formation on the real 'acts of the Middle East and keep the public in ignorance of conditions and dangers. "I am not anti-Semitic, for I am a friend of Jew and gentile alike. I'm for or against no one in this squabble. I am for justice."
