THE ELITE: In the wake of the bloody and disgraceful events in Selma and Montgomery, Dr. Mar tin Luther King’s Southern Chris tain Leadership Conference <SCL- C) and the Student Nonviolent Co ordination Committee (SNCC) in serted advertisements in news papers across the country in mid- March, including Chicago, appeal ing for contributions to help sup port their activities in the civil rights struggle. That same week, two large Chi cago Negro newspapers carried in their society columns big spreads reporting sumptuous shindigs stag ed by two social groups. One of these elite groups dined, wined and danced at the expensive Sherman Hotel; the other threw its lavish blow-out at the ritzy Sher aton-Chicago Hotel. “The stunningly-gowned ladies | out-glittered the lights in the city j below,” the account of one of the extravaganzas stated. While the elite “glittered,” the knots made by billy clubs on the heads of Negro marchers in Ala bama were glittering, too. An impeccable source informs that the cost of such all-too-often extravagant affairs run into thous ands of dollars. The same source informed that he knows personal ly that one such downtown shindig cost $5 000! It would show admirable concern for Negro civil rights if these large sums of money were re-di rected to help support the SCLC, SNCC and NAACP civil rights struggle.

HELPFUL ALABAMA: While it may seem ironical, it is true that Gov. George C. Wallace and his fellow racists and storm troopers have ren dered yeoman service towards bringing about something that they fear most: unhindered and full and equal voting rights for Negroes in Alabama. Alabama Negro citizens have I been brutally clubbed and tear gassed; white sympathizers and allies from the North have been insulted and manhandled; the Rev. James Reeb was murdered in cold blood. All this sadism has aroused and shocked the conscience of the rest of the nation. It is add ed more tarnish to the coun try’s image abroad It has greatly disturbed President Lyndon B. Johnson. The lawmakers in Congress have been pushed into a fight ing mood to pass the new tot ing rights las. The -Alabama disgrace has fom ented a new civil war, this time without contending armies firing guns. Like the Civil War of a cen tury ago, this new civil war also is one that Alabama and t'he rest of the South cannot possibly win. Gov. Wallaed and his stubborn fellow racists have unwittingly helped to bring about their own defeat and victory for Negroes in Alabama and elsewhere in the South depending upon the season of the year. Instructions for use will be printed on the con tainers and should be followed very carefully for best results. Be especially careful about spray drift to other plants that you do not wish to injure. Soon after receiving the cal] 1 met one of my forestry friends in the hall and told him about it. He was surprised that anyone would want to kill wild cherry trees be cause the lumber is bringmg in S6O per thousand board feet in the mountains on the stump and scat tered among other trees. It seemed to me that T remem bered something about wild cherry foliage and cattle so I called one of my friends in Animal Science. He refreshed my memory and told me that wild cherry foliage could poison cattle, especially if they eat the wilted leaves on trees which have been blown down by stroms or were clinging to broken branches. My curiosity not having been completely satisfied I went to my file and got Dr. Jim Hardin's "Poi son Plans of North Carolina” which I consider to be the last word on poisous plants of all kinds. I imagine that most everyone is familiar with the wild cherry as it grows in all sections of the state. Dr. Hardin states that the poisonous principle is hy drocyanic (prussic) acid. Num erous factors contribute to the formation of the acid but it is most commonly found when the leaves are in a wilted con dition. It is also found in the twigs and bark. Both horses and cattle may be poisoned. Dr. Hardin describes the symp toms as difficult breathing, vertigo, spasms, coma and sickness of short duration. An animal may die with in an hour after eating unless a verterinarian is available for quick attention. Eating very small a mounts, even of fresh leaves, is considered to have been the cause of some sickness and abortion in cattle. Mrs. Jones Honored At Greensboro GREENSBORO— Mrs. David D.

They're far better for start ing seeds indoors than sod, Gardeners in the north who want to grow cantaloupes or watermelons in their gardens have to start the seeds early and Indoors otherwise they'll never have a ripe melon. This is because the number of frost.- free growing days needed to In sure melon maturity Is lacking in northern climates. Chunks of sod, brought in from the garden, have been used for many years as starters for melon seeds. Seeds are pushed into the. sod and grown there because the sod is easily planted intact in the garden when danger of frost is over. The roots of the young melon plants, safely grow, ing in the sod, are thus undis tnrbed. Their growth is not checked and they' do not re quire weeks to resume growth. Newer and more satisfactory than sod chunks for starting melon seeds are peat pots. They’re cleaner and easier to handle than sod and don’t fall apart when least expected. The soil which fills them can be mixed to suit the gardener. They're deeper than handleable sod pieces and thus allow greater and .deeper root growth. And they’re just as easy to set in the garden when warm weather ar rives. Why not try them?
