PAGE TWO -SECTION TWO I " I ( SENATOR (fe A SAM ERVIN mm MS The majority of the members of the United States Senate are reasonable people. This explains the overwhelming vote for the Johnson mption on Rule 22. , Minority Protection These reasonable people came to the conclusion that it was ab solutely essential to obtain a rule whjch would make it certain that minorities will have an adequate opportunity to express their views. We have a few people who get somewhat fanatical about a rule under which a bare majority of one could silence a minority of only one weaken, but the Senate’s value in the history of the United States as an insti tution has arisen largely out >f the fact that there has been tol erance on the part of its mem bers; they have been willing to listen to minorities express their views. That was the season lor the overwhelming vote for the Johnson resolution which makes it certain that any Senator Or any .group of Senators, however large in number or however small in number, will be allowed adequate time to represent their stakes bv expressing their views on the Senate floor. Liberal and Conservative I supported the Johnson reso lution which passed by a vote of 72 to 22. Voting for the resolu tion were liberals and conserva tives. There are many people who profess to be liberals, but who are the most il-liberai peo ple in public life today because Woods Ranger Ramblings ] _ P This is the time of vear when f lots of folks are walking over their fields and forests with gun and dog in hope of gettine a shot at a rabbit or some quail. Most farms have a back corner or a wet spot that grows nothing but broom straw and a few myrtle bushes and that makes poor cov er for game, although now days it is about the best they can find, Just picture for a minute how nice it would be if that corner or spot was a nice pine thicket with a border of multifloro rose or sericea lespedeza. Man! that would make a nice place for birds and rabbits. It would also be qiaking money for the owner because those pines would soon beeqme valuable sawlogs. In 25 or 30 years each acre of pints would be worth S7OO or SBOO.

They are the ones who want to silence other people. I call them “il liberal” liberals. This rules change debate was not a fight between the honest liberal and the honest conservative. Good Rule The rule we passed last week is good. Under old Rule 22 it took two-thirds of all the Sen ate both present and absent to impose cloture. The new rule provides that two-thirds of the Senators present and voting can impose cloture and put an end to debate. It also provides that they can impose cloture on a mo tion to change the rules. The greatest advantage in the new rule is that it writes into tl»e rules of the United States Sen ate what has been true for 163 years but what the “il-liberai” liberals have refused to admit— that the Senate is a continuing body and that its rules continue from Congress to Congress with out any action taken until thev are changed by the Senate. This is a most important point because the people who have been trying to “gag” the members of the Senate have been attempting to get this held as untrue aided by the Vice President who is the presiding officer of the Senate. I consider this action a great -•ictory. It is a tribute to the good judgment of reasonable peo ple. Many farms in the Albemarle area have these small spots lav ing out that could be growing pines and growing monev, ton. It would be good business for everybody to plant pines on these places. It takes very little effort to do this and would add a great deal to the future in come of the farm and to the game bag of the hunter. Now is the time to plant pine trees and the seedlings are av ii able to everyone at cost from the N. C. Forest Service Nursery. They cost only 54.25 a thousand ■ and that many is enough to plant J an acre. The Forest Service al-1 so offers planting advice free and i the ASC office will pay sl2 per acre to help with the cost of planting. Now that appears to j me a real good deal.

Appalachian Stale Teachers College Os the average sixteen subjects a student takes during his four years of high school only seven are specially named for him. The N. C. Department of Pub lic Instruction requires U. S. His-; tory, biology, physical education and English I, 11, 111 and IV. This leaves nine courses, or more in some schools depending on their schedules, which must be selected. High schools today offer wide varieties of subjects, ranging from basic mathematics to trigo nometry and ancient history to world geography. Intelligent selections tremen dously affect the shaping of a high schooler's future. They can mean a head start in a vocation, less difficulty in college or a gen erally happier life. Poor choosing can mean ex- j travagant time wasting. Just one j subject requires 180 hours each year. If far too hard or easy or chosen prematurely, it hot onjy causes the student’s time going, down the drain but even creates I within him negative behavior habits. In a few months thousands of • boys and girls about to enter high j school or those already in it face I the question: “What to take next j year?” 4 | Who should make the import- I ant decision? i The student himself, inexperi- I enced, often without specific I aims? The parents, who want the best for Junior but not sure what it > is? j The school official, who often knows more about a youngster’s abilities than the parents but less about home and personal factors, strong motivaters behind youth’s desires and ambitions. A logical answer comes from Dr. Roy R. Blanton. Jr., princi pal of the laboratory Appalachian High School on the campus of Appalachian State Teachers Col lege, Boone, N. C. He recommends all three the parents, principal and Junior— making the decision together in conference, “Each possesses special infor | mation the other doesn't have,” ; says Dr. Blanton. “Pooling it to -1 gether as a team enables the con- I struction of a realistic course of study which is best for Junior.” The parent neglecting to come together with the principal and his child does the youngster an I injustice, the eighteemyear-vet eran educator warns. Just what subjects Junior se lects should be determined large ly by the vocation he wishes to enter. Dr. Blanton advises. Care- I ful analysis by the team is es pecially necessary to estimate Junior’s ability to succeed in his , chosen pursuit. If the vocation calls for col i lege education. Junior must take j certain courses to meet college entrance requirements such as i language, which many students prefer detouring. Schoolmen ac j quaint themselves with college and university requirements. If the team decides it’s best for Junior to end his formal educa tion at high school graduation, a variety of courses should be se : lected to familiarize him with the world in which he lives and pre pare him for responsibilities of a democracy. The average high school offers 1 several vocational courses. In these Junior may learn a worth while occupation. Most school | curriculums carry business sub i jects such as typing and short hand. Some offer auto mechan- : vice free, and you don’t get much free any more. Let’s plant those pines now | and watch the game and money | grow! The Woods Ranger. ics, carpentry and agriculture. • And for the high schoojer un decided about his future, a gener al course of study is a good bet states Dr. Blanton. It exposes him to many fields, one of which could key him to a calling of his liking.

New Tp Peanut Seed Announced Increases Potential In Development of Fu ture Varieties % The announcement this week op the release of the NC-4X va riety of peanut, which resulted from the atomic radiation work by Dr. W. C. Gregory at No’rth Caiolina State College, has cre ated a considerable number of questions in the minds of the readers of the article. Some of these questions may be answer ed here. First, the seed were eradiated at the Atomic Reactor in Oak Ridge and were planted at the Upper Coastal Plain Experi ment Station in Edgecombe County. There ended the radi ation and all peanuts produced from this variety are perfectly safe to eat and use. The radia tion affected only those seed and their off-spring were many different kinds giving a vast PURE gasolines“hold more records’ for performance than any other” Get PURE-PREMIUM fifif ...it’s super premium now %WUIUIf-M**CAM.AAA.UtACmSCCA. j| New Winslow Oil Company Phone 3336 Hertford i quantity of different typps of peanuts which Dr. Gregory could use in his cross-breeding and selection work to develop the new variety. The NC-4X is superior in most lyays to old types of farmer stock peanuts, but is not equal to or superior to the NC-2 which most farm ers- are now growing. Dr. Gre gory has stated that any farmer | who is successfully producing NC-2’s and not encountering major problems connected there with should continue to use the INC 2’s and not switch to the; NC-4X peanut. However, Dr. | Gregory pointed out that farm-, ers living in areas having soil j types and climatic conditions! which cause a high percentage ' of pods showing growth cracks and - considerable damaged ker nels should consider growing the NC-4X which has the lowest percentage of cracked pods of any variety tested Farmers might expect under normal con ditions less income per acre with the NC-4X thdh with the NC-2. because of the fact that the average yield of the NC-4X iis slightly lower than the NC-2, the extra large percentage is I lower than the NC-2, with other, ! factors being about the same j 1 with the average damage of the ■ j NC-4X being much less than j | NC-2. The NC-4X is more sus- j | ceptible to southern stem rot | \ than is the NC-2. The NC-4X has slightly thicker hull and a: better shaped pod. It could be j expected to stand up better un-1 der combining conditions, j The fact that this peanut has j been developed through atomic eradiation leads the way to | greater potentials in the devel opment of future varieties and | Dr. Gregory is exploiting to the ; maximum the potentials offered j through this medium 'in develop ;mg new peanut varieties which j j w ill meet the needs of the I changing times of the future, j j They who awe it !
