Di vided as they are, peither will be able to do the things that a poli tical party aspires to do. Of course, one ' immediately brings up the issue at hand, should a Negro be treated equally as the white person? That is in reality what the fuss is about. I believe it is generally accepted that this problem , is not one that can be sol ved by laws alone but the solution is something that has to evolve, ■something that has to come about naturally and without federal force, That the situation at the present time is morally wrong should be accepted by every morally stable person. Only by sticking with the party and working something out that would compromise both sides could the Southern rebels have wielded any power. As it is now, action will be taken ^vithout con sideration of them of their prob lem, The consequences of this could prove serious with such men as Ku Kluxer Greene of Georgia at the head of rabble rousing groups. In nutshell, the action can be put down as the result of the un- rational thinking and magnificent ly ignorant insight of a few jfana- ties whose moral level is that of Bilbo and Rankin. R. C.

Soil Conservation : Advocated in New Educational Films [ “The Living Earth” series, four new color 16mm films on the vital necessity of soil conservation, has been released for distribution by Encyclopaedia Britannka Films. Individual titles of each 10 min ute subject are “The Birth of the Soil”, “Arteries of Life,” “This Vital Earth,” and “Seeds of Des truction.'’ “Birth of the Soil” shows how nature produces life-giving top soil from basic raw materials. In “This Vital Earth” the relation of life to its environment is shown through the balance of plants and animals. Water and forests are portrayed in the “Arteries of Life,” while “Seeds of Destruction” Visualizes what happens when any one of the links in the chain, of life is broken. George E. Brewer Jr., of the Conservation Foundation worked in cooperation with the New York Zoological Society to produce, “The Living Earth” series. Fairfield Os- burn, president of the Zoological Society, and founder of the Con servation Foundation, is the au thor of the recent book “This Plundered Earth.” Airplanes, Fire Fighting Units Added to Service Additional financial support from large and small timberland owners, coupled with state and federal .funds, will put the A&M Forest jService in a position to practically double its present mec hanized J fire fighting equipment, September 1 according to J. O. Burnside, forest protection chief. Burnside reveals that orders have been placed for 28 four-wheel drive fire fighting units* two hew airplanes, and 36 mobile radio sets. This new equipment will supple ment the 22 jeeps, 58 radio sets and 3 planes now in use. All of this equipment will give the Texas Forest Service greater strength than it has had at any time during its 33 year history. This expansion is (the culmina tion of several years work brought to focus at a meeting of land- owners and Texas Forest Service officials last March. “Studies jin Tex'as indicate a completely 1 equipped mechanized fire-fighting unit, manned by spe cially trained men, is required for each 50,000 to 75,000 acres of forest land during the more haz ardous periods of the year,” Burn side said.
