ed into quit* a rnckus before it was chocked by a decision to hold % at Miosis at a military kaaa. What ww seldom mentioned waa the fact that the row threeteoed 3 V' to aquelch the creator part of the centennial observance over the m next four years. Since moat of the Vs major battles occurred, la the Soutk, most of tha observances Q were scheduled to take place in the South. Hotels in the various southern cities were unlikely to chance their policies even for the centennial commission and out-of-state dele gations and if the Charleston has sle had not been worked out, there was a food chance that many events would have been canceled ?or at least reduced to something like local observances. This would have shot full of holes the grandiose plans of the commission for so many observ ances at so many different places over tha next four years. President John Kennedy felt that the commisaion waa a federal ly-named body, that It had receiv ed federal funds and that it should not participate in official meet ings at obaervances where all de legates from the various states were not accorded the same privl leges. If the President felt that as President he could take no other position, so too did hotel managers in Dixie. For them to have changed policy would have been to gamble on financial ruin ? which few would chance. Also, to have changed policy would have brought widespread csncellatlons from lo cal people. So, it was s problem that ahould have been anticipated, and which should have been circumvented, but wasn't. The issue may not be permanently settled even now, though the commission hopes to avoid any further unpleasantness, and will make every effort to do ao. President John Kennedy went about his necessary course in the Laos crisis with great deliberate ness snd caution. He made it clear I ? , ? on Nvfnl occasions that he would J. . ,.*L : ? ?

The conservative or moderate coalition in Congress (whichever you prefer to call it) has shown evidence of strength in the House on several occasions recently. The PresH'- t'i minimum wage bill was r? ^nad in the lower body by only one vote. Other Kennedy test votes have carried by a bare man gin. Stiff tests are yet to come. It seems apparent that the White House la placing more hope in the Senate, oddly enough, for liberal legialation, than In tha House. It is hoped, for instance, that the Senate will liberalise the minimum wage bill. It is yet to be seen bow much can be accomplished for the White House by Majority Senate Leader Mike Mansfield and Vice Presi dent Lyndon Johnson in the upper legislative body but to these two men fall a critical task. ?AIL CAM GO OVER BABY ClarksviUe, Tenn. ?

L. rOUTZ Soil Conaervation Service Farmer* of the Watauga Soli Conservation District generally re cognize that continuoua cropping of the tame field lowera the pro ductive power of the aoil. A good crop rotation, adapted to the land, will reduce to ? minimum any loaaea Incurred by field cropping. The ideal rotation la the one that will produce a balance be tween the farmer* need for culti vated crops and the needs of the land for protection. A good soil-conserving rotation Includes enough graas and legumes to reduce losses of soil through irosion; improve the structure of :he soil so that it will abaorb rater readily; maintain adequate >rganic matter in the soil; and in crease yields of the cultivated raps grown in the rotation. Reaidues from grass and legum te that are returned to the soil as [reen manure increaaes organic natter in the soil. This additional irganic matter improves the struc ure of the aoil by malting it more franular and ao increaaing Its abi ity to abaorb water. Most moun ain soils contain leaa than three par cent organic matter. Cultiva tion causes the organic matter con tent to decrease. This is partly due to lots of topsoil by erosion, but to a greater extent, the increased activity of the microorganisms within the soil with decompose or ganic matter more rapidly. District coopers tors realize a soil-conserving rotation must be fitted to the land. Some bottom lands can be cultivated continu ously without serious erosion, but certainly with caution. If this type of rotation is used, make sure a winter cover crop and stable man ure be applied to the soil each year. As land becomes steeper, de crease the amount of cultivated crop and increase the Amount of grass and legumes in the rotation. On some of the steepest land, only trees can be grown to properly conserve the soil. Farmers should adapt a rotation suitable for their farming opera tion and natural resources.

TRADE AT HOME Slater Will Discuss Occupational Outlook A* future teachers, tlx student* of Appalachian State Teachers Col lege niied to ha informed of the numerous occupational opportuni ties far school youngsters in order to give them proper guidance, says Dr. W. 0. Sink. AJTC chemistry department head. To give them the word in the science field, Lloyd E. Slater, an engineer who is executive director of the Foundation for Instrumen tation Education and Research, has been invited to the A8TC campus by Dr. Sink. Slater will appear at the college tonight (Thurs ) at 7 o'clock. He has been active as an engin eer, reporter and constultant in the field of Instrumentation and Automatic Control during its spec tacular emergence in the past ten yean. A graduate of Cornell University (B. S. '40) he first entered the Home Hints DARK TO COOK WITH SPICES AND HERBS? We are told that American women are more inter ested in the use of spices and herbs than ever before, that they are constantly requesting informa tion. Don't stock your spices and herbs on shelves and not use them. Most of the food we prepare every day cen be made to taste better with fresh spices and herbs. Dare to experiment! Ginger (dry or root) or mustard (in the Jar or dry) makes beans (fresh, dry, or otherwise) taste better. With a little imagination they make every day foods out of the ordinary. Check spice container labels for suggestions as to which spices and foods go best together. Start your culinary adventures with spproxi mately Vt teaspoon dried spices snd herbs for each recipe that serves four. Never use so much that the Masoning is overpowering. Use just enough so that your fam ily and guests feel that something wonderful as happened. Homemakers On Their Toes ? I Homemakers are demanding better working conditions.
