r M f i This weeb I would like to deal en : tirely with a matter which may seem dull to a great many readers, but which I consider vastly important to every American. It concerns Immigration. The action taken by Congress on a bill before the Senate as this is written will determ ine a future policy. ' Congress must decide now whether America is to let down the bars so that our country may be flooded with immigrants, or whether a sensible law; drawn in the interest of the American, people, is to be adopted. All last week the Senate was in thei throes of a fight. The ultra-liberals were on one side. The so-called con servatives were on the other. For more than two years, the Sen ate Judiciary Committee, headed by Senator Pat McGarran, has been work ing on a new and realistic immigra tion law. It has done, in my opinion, a splendid job. But the committee is now faced with the badgering and the bickering of a small group of Senators who' have tried to convince Americans that the bills is a bad one. This is the same group of Senators, incidentally, who staged the second longest fili buster in Senate history at the time they tried unsuccessfully to defeat the Internal Security Act of 1950. . That Act, you know, was passed, giving the government power to limit and control the activities of Communists in America. - can. It is as foHov: .

They may believe that by some method of terror they can bring fear intn the. heart or being of the pres ent chairman of the Judiciary Commit tee of the Senate. "Let me say to them that the blood which flows through these veins is not congealed by -the , artificial ter rors witi which 'they would surround their supposed victim. lit flows warm ly and unruffled for the American cause, because I love only one country, only one law, only one Constitution, and only one institution or govern ment.;; It is the institution of govern. ment into which I was bom, in which I was reared, and in which I hope to die. "Mr: President, there is no possi bdUty for them to terroriie. IWe are going through with what we believe to be right, and for the welfare of America, not for the welfare or the lack of welfare of any group or seg ment.' The best way to get a bad law re pealed is to enforce it strictly. . . Lincoln. Together Again ''- It is interesting to note that every Senator who is still in the Senate and who voted against the Internal Se curity Act is now fightuiv the Mc- Carfan immigration hill. They make no bones about their wishes to flood our country with immigrants, despite warnings that such a move can well nigh change the complexion df our government as well as our history for centuries to come. Mind you that this immigration bill had been worked on for more than two years by the most responsible people in the government It has been be fore the Senate 'for more than two months. But this group of 13 ultra liberal Senators decided, after all this time, to introduce another immigra tion bill designed to let down the bars and allow perhaps as many as 1,500,' 000 additional immigrants to flood this country. 1 The battle is on and I wish every North Carolinian could have attended the Senate sessions last week. I be lieve a great many of our people would have been astonished. . I hope nobody will be deceived by these particular Senators. I would like to list their names: Humphrey , of Minnesota; Lehman of New York; Benton of Connecticut; , Langer of North Dakota; Kilgore of West Vir ginia; Douglas of Illinois; McMahon of Connecticut; Green of Rhode Is ; land; Pastore of Rhode Island; Moody of Michigan; Murray of Montana; Xefauver of Tennessee; and Morse of Oregon. t These are the Senators who talk so long and so loud against the fillibust- er. And yet, the filibuster they stag h d last week approachd a new record. They used every argument in the book, no matter how fantastic, or inaccur ate. The statement was made, for ex ample, that .we must have - additional , foreigners to keep our labor force high. However, I seem to recall reports of unemployment in this country with out adding another million and a half ; immigrants. IN MEMORY OF BEVERLY LANE In our classroom there's a vacant chair, We miss the one who left if there. We have no one to take the place Of that cheerful smile and happy face, The memory of her lingers with us still, . - We know somehow it always will.. Wn nlsn fee that in Heaven above he knows and shares with us her love. . And in our hearts we really can't say That shs is dead, but only away,' Waiting up there with a beckoning hand To welcome us on to that blessed land, Think of Beverly as in Heaven above Wrapped in the splendor of God's great love, ' i And ever so patiently waiting there Her heavenly joy with you to share, God needed her there for Him to shine, , "; ,- So He called to her with Him to dine, And to cast the roses along the way, To make it easier for us at the close of the day. The road of life we can't understand, But must leave it all in God's own hands, And trust in Him to know what's best, For we who are left must meet the test. Let's prepare ourselves one and all To be ready to go when we hear His call, And join her again with hands and heart " In that land above where well never i part. MRS.

' ' SOIL CONSERVATION NOTES A. W. Lane has been constructing some V-type flitches on his farm. In converting his straight : sided hand cut field ditches to V-type ditches Mr. Lane used a tiller plow, hack up blade on tractor and a small grader. Mr. Lane thinks that this type of ditch will be much easier to maintain. C. L. Lassiter is planning to cut a lead ditch with a dragline on one of his farms in Durante Neck. Mr. ILassiter has had several of his fid J ditches pulled out with a bulldozer. - J. J. Skinner has recently completed cleaning out and sloping the banks on a lead ditch 1.1 miles in length. This work was done with a dragline. . I B. Elliott in the Chapanoke com munity is planning to construct a new lead ditch to improve the drainage on his farm.
