Easter has made its Impres sion upon all the jounxer gen ! e ration, as may he seen from a little episode that happened yes I terday. A very young lady was out with her nurse and spied some pussy willows showing the firay side of life. Very Inter ested, she said to her nurse: "Oh, look. The Easter bunnies have-left their feet out." Mure about Easter. We mod erns take the calendar for granted and just look up the date when Easter is due to arrive. Think of the trouble they went to in the long ago when they had to figure out the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 20th of March. . . . But how they knew when it was March 20th is their own little secret. Each day one sees fresh patch of green appearing a the mountainside. But we were for tunate enough on Sunday to see enough heaatifnl Dowers to make a whole mountainside bloom like a mammoth nosegay. Middle mount greenhouse had a visiting day and to the many who ac cepted their Invitatka the siglit was something to be remem bered a long time. When flow ers bloom, can Spring be far behind to paraphrase a well known quotation. This Easter season brings to mind the yarn about the farmer who planted 'everything by the moori or a particular sign.

W A S H I N CSTON Southearn Democratic leaders angry al l'resi- ( dent Truman's "civil rights pro posals threaten to us their states'1 t'lectoial votes to defeat Mr. Tru man in the November election , if he is the Democratic candidate : To see what this menus you lirst , have to know what the Electoral Col lege is and how it works. i The Electoral College system is a strange thing. Under it tin' next president cnuld win even if he gets fewer voles than his oppon ent. The Constitution says the pres ident must be chosen by a group of "qualified'' men known as elec tors. These men make up the Elec toral College. The college meets after the elec tion. Its onlv job is to choose the president. The votes of the elec tors make the election ' 'official ". Each state has as many electors as it has senators and representa tives in Congress. There are 9(i senators itwo from each state' and 435 representatives in all. Choosing Electors A state can choose its electors any way it wants to. In most states the names of the electors appear on the ballot. There ire usually two lists. The Republicans have one and the Democrats have on'. Generally the electors are listed under the name of the can didate they will vole for. In other suites, the electors' names aren't even printed on the ballots. But no matter how obscure these electors may he. Hie United States can't have a president with out them. After the electors cast their "official'' volt's, the ballots are sealed and sent to the president of the Senate in Washington. The votes ar counted and re corded at a joint session of the Senate and House. Until that's done the election isn't legal. In every slate, the candidate who wins the most popular votes wins all the electoral vote from that state. Because of this, a candidate could be elected president even though he won only 12 states: Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio. Texas and Wisconsin. These dozen slates have 2fi!) electoral votes, a majority in the Electoral College. Kven if a can didate wins the other 3G slates and has a majority of the popu lar votes, he loses the presidency. 'Minority' Presidents Three times in U. S. history presidents have gone into the White House with fewer popular votes than their opponents. The first was in 1824. Andrew Jackson won more electoral votes than John Quincy Adams. But he lacked a majority since there was a third candidate. In such cases the law requires that the House choose the winner by simple ma jority, with each state casting one vote. Adams was elected. The House once elected a pres ident because the electoral vote was tied. Thomas Jefferson was chosen over Aaron Burr. In 1876 Rutherford B. Hayes lost the popular vote majority but won I he presidency from Samuel Til den with a majority of the elec ! toral vote. j C; rover Cleveland beat Benjamin Harrison the same way in 1HH4. Southerner's Position The southern Democrats fight- ' ing Mr. Truman say they can re fuse to cast the electoral votes from their solidly Democratic . southern states. This might guar- j antee the election of a republican president or throw the election nto the House of Representatives. ; These southern states control a block of 127 electoral votes. With out them no Democrat could hope J to be elected. Farm Clean-TJp Week Is Set For March 29-April 4 America's annual "farm clean up week," designed to reduce live stock and poultry losses caused by disease, parasites and injury, is set for the week ol Marcn tv April 4. By Joining in this clean-up drive farmers can add to their livestock oroflts and reduce the needless loss of meat and waste of feed, the Amrican Foundation for Animal Health said, in announcing plans for the week. Several "common sense" clean up measures were urged: "Clean and disinfect tiiiiiaings and pens, particularly those where young animals and birds are to be born or housed. "Clean up barnyards and lots. Old piles of refuse and manure are often heavily infested with parasites. "Get rid of old strawstacks; plow under or scatter the straw Old stacks harbor parasites and germs. "Drain or fence-off low spots in barn lots. Stagnant pools and mud are breeding places fur para sites and insects. "Pick up nails, glass or other sharp objects which might cause cuts, or be swallowed by live stock. "Check for protruding nails, broken stalls, or other defects which could injure stock. Wounds are more than injuries: they are openings for infection. "Move young animals to fresh, clean ground as early as possible. As further protection against dis ease, have pigs vaccinated against cholera, and against erysipelas where permitted by state officials and indicated by the veterinarian." Individual farmers as well as livestock and farm organizations throughout the country arc being invited to co-operate in helping make the week a success, the Foun ntion said. In many communities, it is being suggested as a neigh borhood project. ileia in Uommg tyJ Read the Want Ads for bargains. Nothing But The BEST . ; .
