The court hands down a final decree declaring to the Current federal appropriations for research on industrial uses for farm products total about 13 mu-lion dollars. It is very likely that the 85th Congress will be asked to boost this amount appreciably. It will again be emphasised that money spent for research will pay worthwhile dividends in the long run. Federal officials have previously argued that agricultural science has not kept pace with industrial science. However, some lawmakers reply that Industry speeds its own money while agrlc'ultural science generally uses funds.

It will then be the work of the five members of the Ijornissicn, appointed by President Eisenhower, to study and appraise the numerous suggestions which (vill be made, and to determine which of them and what others are to be included in the commission's recommendations to Congress. INDUSTRIAL USE The commission is required by law to report its findings to Congress by June 15, after which it is due to go out of existence. The duty of the group, as prescribed by Congress, is to prepare and present to the Congress The necessary recommendations which in its opinion will bring about the greatest practical industrial use for industrial purposes of agricultural products not needed for human or animal consumption This gigantic task presents numerous preplexities that are certain to be encountered in the quest for shore-cut routes to larger industrial consumption of farm products.

Mr. Gaston related the step-by-step struggle that brought into realization the Citizens Feder CUTHBERT, Ga.

The Christmas pageant The Birth of Christ was presented by the. music department of the Randolph County Training School last some would refer to a handicap as on advantage. Like the young minister advised a few days ago, this man had taken some of the hidden resources given him by the Creator and put them to work. He had refused to stand by complaining about a slight physical defect. Instead, he had gone into the public relations field, put his own personality to work and made friends with many of the giants of industry over the nation.

Today, this man is among the top public relations people of the nation. And such stories are numerous stories about people who refuse to submit to what is refefred to as a handicap. The fact is, God given man many talents. Some of us utilize these talents; others refuse to do so. Instead, we stand about, complaining about conditions and problems created out of our own imagination.

The great men of the world were those who threw off the disguised shackles of handicaps and mastered whatever came before them. When we think of the great changes in our social order, and about the benefits we enjoy today as a result of the New Deal, we tTiink of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. But even behind Mr. Roosevelt was a little lame man by the name of Howe who helped to shape the strategy for the Roosevelt campaign, which ultimately led to the White House.

There was Roosevelt himself, a victim of Infantile Paralysis. According to an' informed commission source, the commission probably will recommend that Congress appropriate more funds for basic and applied agricultural Not only so is this true with the Negro citizens, but all those who felt that the strange phenomena of a year's boycott battle hod to be the medium by which man's humanity to man was to bo realized. But, old orders for the most never give up without a struggle; power is sweet and men seldom sell or compromise power. But here, the power to discriminate meant the power to destroy, and such, once broken, frees not only the Negro but this white man who has been precisioned and conditioned into the doctrine of racism, a scheme designed to limit the freedom of both races. From the very beginning to the final decree of the court, and the resolve of the citizens to use the buses, there was never a display or resort to violence by the Negro citizens.

This is commendable conduct. A new chapter in this brand of battle comes upon the horizon for mankind; righteousness sometimes feels that such a' procedure is ample weapon for combat in many of the wars infesting the world. Be it said to the everlasting credit to Dr, M. L. King, and those around him, that honoc was richly conferred upon the cause-of those who struggle bll over the world for human justice and equality in the eyes of the law.

Surely, there is left on the rich pages of human advancement a brilliant chapter in achievement. It will be thought and on down time when the clash of causes and the fcrunt of brushes coma upon the scene of human endeavor for a sane and sensible settlement. In the light of the Supreme Court's action ip refusing to reconsider the Montgomery case and the action already taken by ft S.

After seeing Birmingham and chatting with some of the central-figure leaders like Mr. Gaston, Mr. Adewumni, the keen-eyed, 27-year old, genial plomatic Journalist from Lagos, Nigeria, Africa wanted to see more of Birmingham and its solid-for-progress leaders.

While Journalist Adewumni, a slender, handsome, law-degreed, charcoaled -complexion Nigerian, was in the city he spent more time with Mr. Gaston than any other individual. Thats where he ties in. Mr. Gaston has visited Africa more than once and naturally this attracted the foreign visitor to the visit ng Nigerian reporter.

Churchill had a speech impediment, Paul, the man who later sold Christianity to the world was aq epileptic. The story of the trip to Damascus is a vivid account of a man whose heart and mind were poisoned with bitterness 'and hate. It took a spell of blindness and suffering to bring him around to reality. We all know the story of Helen Keller; Joe Louis who was born in remote and humble circumstances, and many others whose lives have been filled with misgivings and disappointments. There have been the blind, the lame, the disease-ridden souls whose life's patterns have been nothing short of tragic.

Aa Ugly Christmas Gesture There is the Negro, who by no reason of his own has long been the victim of the artificial color barrier. Pigmentation has and still Is a stigma which haunts him. But even this is no handicap in the sense that some may view it. The man who told the Negro, "You have to run twice as fast to get half as far," had a valuable point. A handicap, it seems, remains to be one, so far as we permit it to be.

We have only to look at the achievements of others to get the true story. It is the goodwill erected by this joyous Christmastime that inspires us to send you a world of Cheef, ovsr again. And a Mem Ch-istmas to you ond yours! May the spirit of the Yulotio'e season spread throughout the coming year ano make your community a better place in which to live.

Truly you are an outstanding citizen. THE SEASON'S BEST WISHES TO EACH OF YOU As the old world sang its way through its accustomed Christmas carols into the hearts of its countrymen, there appeared among the sermons and scriptoria! quotes on the front pages of newspapers, an account af a Negro girl being beaten in the firaets of Montgomery, Alabama, a southern city, by those who dmtred to make an expression against the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation on the buses. Surely the cities of Montgomery, Alabama and Tallahassee, Florida would take no pride in the disservice they are occasioning te this bus riding debacle.

Those who are guilty of the infractions carried on the front of the neWspapers hardly realize that it will take years for these people to live down what is being carried on through heated passion, initiated by the desire of inflicting punishment upon law abiding Citizens who seek to enjoy a franchise for which they have paid. This America is a Bible land; its citizens are proud of the traditional reference to religious freedom being the basic principle upon which this government was founded. It is today paying out billions of dollars belonging to its taxpayers for freedom of Other people in other lands; it has twice in a single generation angaged its sons in shooting wars for the safeguard and establishment of those relations long observed in our Constitution. It is unfortunate that this country must hand its head in shame, as it proceeds upon its Christmas journey, with the press carrying on its front pages along with Bible quotes, Christmas carctiv stories of the Christ-child, the sad account of a Negro girl kneeling in the street, with her hands uplifted as her only protection while she succumbs to a beating at the hands of human beingsl lALABAMA VAULT CO Mr.

C. The Public Health Service announced this week it is pushing research into inexpensive sewage treatment methods for smaller cities. Recent investigations by Federal water pollution control engineers in North and South Dakota disclosed one method the stabilization lagoon that may cut by two-thirds the costs of conventional plants providing the same degree of treatment. Dr. Leroy E.

Burney, Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, said expanded investigations are now under way by the Service In Fayette, Missouri, and near Lebanon, Ohio, in a further effort to find ways to reduce costs. The investigators are from the PHSs Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center in Cincinnati 1 Gordon E. McCollum, Chief, Water Supply and Water Pollution Control, Program of the PHS, said that controlled experiments in Missouri and Ohio are expected to disclose cheaper and better designs-Ways to rwiuce costs are especially important today, he added, when communities are faced with mounting demands for additional schools roads, and other public facilities. The stabilization lagoon is a shallow, outdoor collection pond where the sewage undergoes treatment by natural, biochemical action, largely through photosynthesis and the action of algae.

It provides the same basic treatment as a typical municipal plant. Before the advent of lagoons, cost of providing sewers and treatment plants was beyond the reach of most small communities. Cost data for the 49 Dakota lagoons recently studied showed an average per capita cost of $14.84. The studies were made in Kadoka, Wall, and Lemmon, South Dakota; and Mad-dock and Wishek, North Dakota. Water pollution control engineers found that the efficiency of these facilities was very high In all seasons of the year.

The lagoons are small, odor-free, and safe. Waste in lagoons Is purified when oxygen-charged bacteria break up sewage solids Into gases. Algae in the treatment ponds produce the oxygen needed by these aerobic bacteria. as distinguished from the anaerobic bacteria found) in the common septic tank and which need little oxygen. Aa a result of experience with lagoons In North and South Dakota, city officials have placed 41 In operation in the former and 32 in the latter State.

Throughout the Missouri River Basin there are now 136 such Installations, 99 of which treat raw sewage and 87 receive treated sewage. These facilities -serve more world leaders such as, John Foster Dulles, the great Sec. of State of the United States, Anthony Eden, of Great Britain and many prominent figures in the United Nations organizations and our own very eminent President of the United States. Dwight D. Eisenhower, who evidently shares the views of his Sec.

of State, Dulles. There is no danger of war in the near future. That kind of news is gratifying to the ears of millions of people scattered throughout the length and breadth of the world. The people want peace, permanent peace. They realize that if the world becomes involve in another global war it in all probability will wipe out civilization.

Not only are the people tired of international wars, but they are tired of wars of all kinds. Wars in the home, wars in the church, and of wars in the community, and if all people will accept and abide by the true meaning of the birth of our Christ, the people will soon be in a position where they will not have to study war any more, because Christ was born to bring peace to all people, irrespective of religion, race or previous condition of servitude. Let us hope that the people on earth will learn and abide by the common sense formula, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. When that is done, peace will come throughout the world. If fraternal love held all men bound, how beautiful this world would be.

Let us hope further that the supreme ruler of the universe will give to all people that understanding that will make him respect his fellowman. If the New Year which wifi be born in a few short days will bring that love and understanding, it will give the world the peace she has been yearning for since the dawn of civilization, she will have done a great and glorious service to mankind.

Oscar Hall of Atlanta married here Christmas Day to Mr. Martiz Craver, of Houston, Texas. Dr. L. V.

Winfield, pastor of Sloan Methodist Church and Instructor of the Erma Huges Business College, Houston, officiated. The parents of the bride heard the ceremony in Atlanta via of long distance telephone. The newly weds will spend a few days in Houston for a Honey Moon at the home of Miss Erma Hughes, who has been a guest of the Halls in Atlanta since Saturday. Miss Hughes left Atlanta Wednesday afternoon for Chicago to attend a national meeting of Business Schools officials. Mrs.

Craver attended Spelman College in Atlanta and is a graduate of Albany State College. She received her Masters Degree at New York University. Presently, Mrs. Craver is working toward her Doctorate Degree. Mr.

Craver is a former student of Morehouse College, Atlanta. The year 1956 gave the people of the United States an exciting national election and after much debate and expenditures of million of dollars it resulted in the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Nixon for President ond Vice-President of the United States by or overwhelmed majority. The election of Eisenhower was a mandate to th American people to follow the policies and programs enunciated by the Chief Executive of our One of the main issues in the campaign was, stopped the war ill Korea which means since they voted for him overwhelming. The American people are not in the mood for any more wars in the near future.

The vote for Eisenhower also means that more liberal civil right program must be adopted. There were other issues of course in the campaign but the two above mentioned stands out ahead and shoulders above them all. As we anticipate a bright future for 1957, we say Happy New Year To All. So, Christmas Day Carrisd Its Toll As has been advanced before, the manner in which our -feast days are observed is no contribution to the fervor and patriotism occasioned by these periods. The suffering, privation and deaths ore poorly compensated in what some might call fealty devotion and loyalty to some ideal or principles we wish kept alive.

The casualty list set up for the beginning of the week is 'A list running up in the thousands would almost be pv1' unbelievable. In proportion, this figure is in excess of the usual week-end casualty record. Our feast days are those onnual affairi without which much our citizenship identity would mean little or nothing.
