In addition to its work with ser vicemen its members were engaged in sewing, knitting and other war work. Today America is engaged in an other war, although undeclared, just as deadly, just as heart-rendering to soldiers and their families as World War II, and Warren County does not even have an active Red Cross Chapter. Truthfully, except for men actively engaged in the war in Vietnam and their families and close friends, so far as we are able to determine Warren County people are making no contribution whatever to the war effort. When we contrast the services of our people, through buying of War Bonds, the rai;Oiiing of goods, the spotting of planes, the work of volunteers with the Red Cross, our people are simply let ting George do it?George being Warren County young men and their families. The fact that the war Is very unpopular has nothing to do with the depth of gratitude we owe our ser vicemen who are serving in Vietnam and other foreign posts. They need the services that the Red Cross provides and we should reactivate the Warren County Chapter, hold a fund drive and demonstrate that patriotism and appreciation of our soldiers still lives in Warren Coun ty In this connection, we would point out that Warren County owesadepth of gratitude to the volunteer ser vices of Bruce Bell, Macon post master, who has served for three years as Red Cross Service Officer. Not only is he giving of his time, but is paying telephone tolls and postage out of his own pocket. This has not been generally known to the people of Warren County, but now that it is known, the imposition should no longer be allowed to per sist. We trust that our citizens will attend the meeting here on March 7, and again provide the support to the War effort that one should expect of Warren County. The Root Cause Of Riots The real root cause of ghetto riots in American cities is not poverty or cynicism but racism, the long-awaited presidential Civil Disorders Commission report will show. Illinois Governor Otto Kerner, chairman of the commission, in an interview last week with Godfrey Sperling, Jr., of The Christian Science Monitor, said that he ex pects to do all he can to see to it that "no one goes off on a tangent" on the real meaning of the report. He wants to make certain that everyone concerned realizes that the element that must be dealt with is "racism." Ethnic groups have been op pressed in the country, he said, and then later risen out of their plight. He noted that in the 1850's it was the Irish, not unlike the Negroes today, who once accounted for 20 per cent of the population and, at the same time, accounted for 65 per cent of those on relief and 85 per cent of the crime. "The difference with the Negroes,'" he said," "is the dark skin." It is unfortunate that such is the case, for it is much easier to change physical condition than it is the hearts of men. On the other hand, many persons deeply concerned with the threat to America of the Negro problem, have long recog nized that it is the color of skin that offers the real problem, and It is well that the commission's report puts its finger on the real cause of Negro dissatisfaction and riots, in the hope that the Congress will face Quotes The nua who regards Us own 111* and that of his fallow creatures as meaningless la not merely unhippy bat hardly tit tor life Albert Einstein.

Again, unfortunately, laws alone will not solve the problem, but fac ing the problem in all honesty is a step forward to the day when a man must be judged on merit and not on the color of his skin, be it black, white or red and when every citizen will receive the rights guaranteed under the Constitution. Vietnam, crime in the streets, communism, are not the great est problems facing the American people. The gravest threat to America today is racism. It will either be solved or our country will be destroyed. In pointing out this fact, the Pres idential Civil Disorders Commis sion, has rendered a real service to the nation.

C. COOPER Agri. Extension Agent G. W. KOONCE Asso. Agri. Ext. Agent ROW WIDTHS AND PLANTING DATES May 1 to May 30 are the best times to plant full season soy beans. Generally, mid May is the best planting date for quick germination resulting in a good stand of plants. In mid May the soils are usually warm and the plants generally grow fast. Cold soils causedelayed germination and slow growth. This allows the weeds and grasses to grow faster than soybeans in cold soils You can expect lower yields for soybeans planted dur ing the last of June. Every day past the 1st day in July you can expect to reduce your soybean yield one bushel per day. Plant 8 to 10 beans per foot of row in 36-40 inch rows. Soy beans planted in rows yield higher than those planted broad cast. Soybeans planted in rows require 30 to 45 pounds of soybean seeds per acre. Soy beans broadcast require 80 to 110 pounds of soybean seeds per acre. Research shows that early planted soybeans under normal conditions will yield as many beans in 36-40 inch rows as narrower rows. Late planted soybeans, may produce higher yields if row widths are re duced as narrow as 24 inches. Weeds are called plants out of place or a plant growing where it is not wanted. Weeds in soybeans can cause serious reductions in your yields. Re search has shown that just one pigweed plant in every 40 inch es of row can reduce yield by 7 bushels per acre. One cocklebur plant in every 20feet of soybean row has reduced the yield 4 bushels per acre. Aside from competing with the soybeans for light, water, and nutrients, broadleaf weeds causes other losses too. Next week: "Chemical Weed Control." "It's a sorry mess," he said "when we get our taxes thrown back at us in a manner designed to demolish the tobac co industry." Schedule Of ,qprc>e .? Home makers Meeting MRS. BERTHA B.

Can you answer this about lettuce? Q. How can you separate whole lettuce leaves from a head for lettuce cups? A. Core the head of lettuce first, suggest USDA home econ omists. Hold the cored end up and put it under a strong stream of cold water from the sink faucet. Soon the lettuce feels heavy and the weight of the water starts to separate the leave from the head. Begin with the stem end, and slow ly peel off each leaf. The leaves are strongest at the stem and if you pull downward from the stem end while the cold water flows briskly through the leav es they separate with little tearing. Expert Says Tobacco Can Save Lives RALEIGH?Can tobacco save lives? Indeed it can, says RusseU M. Haynie, safety expert who heads the North Carolina Truck Driver Training School for pro fessional drivers. A bag of "roU-your-own" tobacco is carried in the glove compartment by many truck drivers, he says, to clear foggy windshields. This is especially important as a safety measure at night, Haynie declares. He says rub bing a damp windshield with the bag of tobacco will keep it clear for several hours. Many lives can be saved by use of this simple safety de vice, Haynie says. One of the functions of the school is teaching accident pre vention. The other is preventive maintenance. The school has been in operation since 1949 and has trained 6,000 profes sional drivers.

In Memoriam In loving memory of our be loved husband and father, Mr. Brown Hawkins, who departed this life February 25, 1965. Three years have passed, Brown dear, Since God has called you home To be with Htm In heaven, Around the snow-white throne. We often sit and think of you When we are all alone, For memory is the only thing That grief can call Its own. We miss you, Oh, we miss you. How could we help but cry? But if we live as you lived, We'll meet you again by and by. No one knows of the sadnc^a, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that's borne in silence, For the one we love so well. Brown has gone but not for gotten To that heavenly home above, Some sweet day we long to meet him And share in His infinite love. *Tis sad to part with friends we love While here on earth we stay, But then a brighter thought comes, We'll meet again some day. God knows how much we miss you, Never shall your memory fade, Loving thoughts shall always wander. To the spot whereyou were laid. MRS. MATTIE B. HAWKINS AND CHILDREN.
