strktc hino thk point
Most of what you hoar a >ut
tho Supreme Court's “or.e man,
one vote" philosophy centers a
round what the ruling requiivs
in the make up of state lc.’isla
t ures.
The Court specifically pointed
a finger at the lawmaking bodies
of Alabama. Colorad >, Delaware,
Maryland. New York, and Vir
ginia. and said that they were not
apportioned in accordance with
the Constitution of the United
States.
It was real headline material.
So much so, in fact, that perhaps
the full implications of the rul
ing have been almost oversha
dowed.
The reapportionment tenet
1 stems from the Court's interpret
ation of this clause in the Con
I stitution’s fourteenth amen d
ment: "No State . .shall deny to
any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws."
The Court says this means that
"the seats in t»»th houses of a
bicameral state h’gislature must
i be apportioned on a population
basis."
i That, in itself, is a mighty
| liberal interpretation of ihe
"equal protection” elause. and
many people behove the Court is
, guilty of stretching the intent of
the clause past any reasonable
limits.
A little hit of stretching,
though, invites some m ire. A
Michigan State Court now holds
that the ruling also applies to
local units of government. This
State Court contends that, since
election districts for the mem
bers of ho Kent County Board f
Supervisors are unequal with re
spect to population, the four
t«*enth amendment is violated.
Might not the "equal protec
tion" clause, then, be stretched
even further, to affect municipal -
■ ities. school districts, and local
i governing hoards of other c >un
tics°
Such a development might be
on the way. Which prompts us to
warn the parents of America
that their domestic authority
i might soon be questioned
’ TVs simple arithmetic A man
and his wife can only muster up
two votes. In families where
there are three nr more children,
a bloc vote on the part of the
kids <t»uld carry any issue. After
all. a home is a local unit of
government.. .when you use a
liberal interpretation.
Tho time to start making
friends with your kids is now.
before the whip cracks.

“Tin* Morrow blueberry i-- be

Carolina as a canker resistant,
very early commercial variety
with improved si/e and color to
replai’o its Angola parent.’’ said
Dr. it. L. Lovvom. director of ag

Morrow ripens five to seven
days ahead of Wolcott and Cron

ahead of Angola in eastern North
Carolina.
The new variety ripens all of
iis fruit in a shorter period than
any of the other commercial va
rieties grown in the s;ate. Over
! a five year period at Ivanhoe.
Morrow ripened J7 per cent of
j its fruit in the firs’ week of the
season as compared with 31 per
cent for Angola. 21 per <-cn' for
Wolcott and ltt per cent for I'rou
tan.
TIu> color and uniformity of
size ot 'he Morrow berry is rated
superior to Angola. Wolcott, CTo
atan and Murphy. The color is a
lighter blue than any of the oth
er four. The weighted average
number of berries per half-pint
for four seasons was 1U3 tor
Morrow. The other four ranged
from 112 to H9 berries.
Based on a limited number of
bushes i*er variety, the average
per plant yield of young plants
,n the 1960-1963 seasons in terms
•f packed plats was 6.2 pints for
Morrow. 3.7 for Angola. 7.3 for
Wolcott. 7.7 for Murphy and 13.2
for Croat an.
Tin- Morrow fruit scar is large

some circumstances. The berries
are as titni as Wolcott and rated

The Morrow bushes are char
