men be segregated from negroes as tor Nor
thern reformers to stipulate that all units
must be composed of mixed races.
A few weeks ago A. Phillip Randolph,
president of the Sleeping Car, Porters Union,
warned that Negroes nngnt retuse to accept
a military drait on wnat he called “Jim
Crow” lines.
This undoubtedly angered the Southern
senators, yet they must realize that eitner
we exempt Negroes from war service,'’or face
the pi ooiems involved. There is a balance,
whicn .does not mix races in small units, yet
does hot give the Negro personnel a feeling -1
of being “segregated, ’ but rather of being
formed into homogenous units. It is a oen-
cate balance, and is best accomplished by’
capable commanders who have ueen given
considerable discretion. We have seen this
.accomplished in World War II in certain
umts and theatres. But there was no ques

Company revealed tha!t a tota) of
52 loans involving’ $221,480.86 was
made by a)l lendihg agencies in

of April. This includes only new
loans and up renewals of old ones.
Leading all othc r agencies was

loani for a total of $65,950.86.
The Brazos Cainty Abstract
Company has used every possible
caution in Uompilihj these figures,
but accuracy is not guaranteed!

Heiat for) the process is to lit

on each side of the hoof and hook
ing to a radio trequencq apparatus
No (’Wires would have to be at-
tachiid to The hoof or shoe. The
heati can be .directed to the bot
tom. pf thei hoof.
This method calls for a tem
perature j of 210-215 degrees
Fahrenheit sorpewhat lower than
thp temperature of the red-hot
shbi. As the shoe is metal, it:
wUlj heat i quicker than the hoof,
Miciw thp shoe is on the foot. Np
naifej will work out and none will
injtlrp the, quick, This process will
prevent the entering of waste ma-
teritijs into the hoofs and keep
holes, from developing into cracks.
But eventually the shoe wepris
out] and heeds replacing. How do
you get the hoof off? That is thlc
$645 question. The shoo cannot bje
takpii off; by hept. The plasticizeir
cannpt be softened by a solvent.
Tib pnlyl device that has been iq-
veritdd to remove the shoe is a
small electric saw that is capable
of taking’ off slices of the hoof as
small as ja quarter of ail inch.
