The dry weather of the past few years inclined us to forget the problem except when winds blew our topsoil into the ditches and coated everything we owned with the red dust picked up from Kansas and Oklahoma ranches. Now.

however, with our lowlands flooded, and with an even graver situation facing the people living downstream from us. we should realize once again that we have a tremendous job ahead of us if we are to keep our basic wealth the soil -from washing away. A hundred years ago most of the farms we now regard as "top farms" here in Greene county were partly under water much of the time. Ponds dotted the countryside, cutting the tillable land in half. Whenever a farmer got enough money ahead, he tiled-out a pond.

Every time that happened, we were "greasing the chutes" for our surface and' topsoil moisture. Faster and faster it ran into the creeks. The creeks became swollen one week and nearly dry the next. The river was the same. We must seriously seek answers.

Those who see the solution in big down- river dams see only a fraction of the problem. They do not take into account the overflowing creeks and the erosion of topsoil from fields in the head-water areas. The answer can be found only in compensatory work on each farm. Whenever a pond is tiled-out, a soil-conserving, water-holding practice should be adopted. It can be terracing, contouring, a grassed waterway, tree-planting, a concrete struc- the of a cropped hillside or some other conservation program.

But just to speed the water on its way without compensating for it is merely adding to our problem. The best observance of Soil Conservation Week we can imagine would be for every farm owner and operator to count up the projects conducted on his farm in the past 50 years to get rid of water quickly. Then count up the soil and water conservation practices put into effect. It shouldn't be too difficult to determine whether the farm has been in the soil-depleting or soil-conserving group. jj Supreme Court Re-Affirms Basic American Freedoms While there is room for an honest difference of opinion, we find ourselves applauding the majority decision of the Supreme Court which serves to restrain disloyalty prosecutions.

The decision serves to remind Americans that it is not necessary for a Democracy to fight a police state with police- state methods. Prosecutors and courts throughout the nation were warned that American rights of speech, thought and assembly are not nullified, even when charges of ''Communism" or "national" security are hurled at the defendant. The court, we believe, took the attitude that there is a greater danger in loss of those freedoms through denial of human What's Showing?

When the McCarthy witch hunts were in progress, there appeared a very danger that the nation had come to the conclusion that basic American freedoms could not be tolerated in a race against Communism. However, when public opinion turned against the McCarthy inquisition and the Senate officially censured Senator McCarthy, it became clear that -human rights were still very dear to American hearts. The recent court action is further proof of that fact.

His co-star is newcomer Angie Dickinson. Abandoned in the mountains by two outlaws and his girl friend, Arness pledges to avenge himself and sets out after the trio.

The other, and the girl take ref- ige in a valley where Arness re- 'entlessly follows them.

More shooting and violent action follow these two western films, when 'Men In War' comes to the screen of The Iowa on Sunday. June 23. for four days. A starkley realistic and atithen- ic story of a platoon in in the Korean war, the picture Ray, as the killer-cold sergeant, tenderly ministers to his beloved colonel, played by Keith, in this scene from the movie.

The picture casts a sharp but compassionate light on the loyalties, ideals and bitter conflicts of officers and enlisted men under extreme stress. The antagonism between Ray. a sergeant, and Ryan, a lieutenant, is not one merely of clashing personalities, but of underlying tensions inherent in the army system of rank and responsibility. The subtlety of the situation is even further pointed up by the fact that the sergeant, while hostile to the lieutenant, is touchingly devoted to the helpless, battle-shocked colonel who is under his care. 'Men in War' reportedly shows as it really is.
