From English III Mishawaka High School Mishawaka Will you please tell us the origin of the terms "surname" "Christian name" and "christening?" Answer: Surname is a curious word that is half French and half English The sur- is from the French word sur -which means -over above" hence 'superior" A surname then is one's chief or family name which one holds by descent The French equivalent is surnom Forest Fires Although Louisiana ranked Sixth in the South in percentage of forests receiving protection services from fires last year there was markld against it the deplorable record of more woodland flames of intentional origin than that of any other state in the entire nation These thought-provoking facts are contained in a bulletin just issued by the Louisiana forestry commission with headquarters at Baton Rouge They should serve to stimulate increased support of the states forest protection program whose primary objective is to provide more safeguards for one of the most valuable resources Louisiana's purposely set fires during 1947 totaled 3929 compared to 22577 fires of this type reported throughout the United States This means that almost one out of every five fires of intentional origin occurred in the parishes of Louisiana An idea of the enormity of Louisiana's forest toll is to be had impressively when it is considered that the average of such fires in each of the states was 470 The Louisiana ratio was nearly nine times greater than the 48-state avetage The record is one from which the people of our state can take little if any satisfaction unless it be that the number of fires was no heavier in Louisiana Another revelation in the report is that fires which occurred in this state's forests under protection of the Louisiana forestry commission burned less than three per cent of the protected area while fires during the same 12-month period burned nearly 15 per cent of the unprotected forest area of Louisiana This fact is indicative of the importance of forestry protection services Of a total of 14626000 acres of forest needing protection in our state 7719000 acres are proteCted by the Louisiana forestry commission and the Kisatchie National Forest The remaining 6907000 acres of Louisiana forests are unprotected The protection services are of unquestionable merit and worth the expenditures involved As in the case of traffic accidents forest fires as a rule are preventable and would make little headway were it not for carelessness thoughtlessness and the acts classed as "intentionally set fires" Second largest single cause of forest fires in Louisiana as the forestry commission's report shows was debris burning Five hundred and four fires were attributed to this one cause Next in number were fires credited to campers-478 such fires during the year Some blazes naturally are due to nature to something over which man has no control including lightning which was responsible for 14 forest fires last year being the smallest cause of forest fires: The Louisiana forestry commission's revelations relating to a subject of mammoth economic concern warrant serious attention by the public especially by all citizens who recognize the value of the forests and the importance of giving them as much prottion as reasonably possible welt Known aria respected ilut certainly he owned no loya1t3r to the man who by po-1 Utica! skullduggery had been nominated in 1944 over such men as Justice Douglas and himself1 Morover Truman had weakened his party to that degree that to- day it is doubtful if it can makel even a respectable showing nexti November By Edgar Guest Merry-Go-Round i The big bold state of Texas Is '1 'THAT LAST HAND" in the throes of a hot primarv1When midnight comes and home battle including among other 1d go things the question of who will!

an not be satisfied for any of them to be neglected No Cause for Confidence Although the southern states suffered anticipated defeat of efforts to keep out of the Democratic party's platform the hateful rights program President Truman and his antisouthem supporters have little for coal- dence or satisfaction as a'result of the-majority I which the presidept's policy received at the Philadelphia convention held earlier this month The convention waspolled on a minority report to amend the platform committee's slightly less objectionable recommendation by inserting specific approbation of Mr Truman's civil-rights legislative proposals Of the 1234 delegates' votes participating 651 1-2 went for the president's plan with special praise for his efforts to have the antisouthem measures enacted into law More than 69 majority of convention votes were from states with no electoral votes prospect including Minnesota author of the vicious civil-rights amendment which has no Democrat in congress The solid South registered disapproval of the civil-rights plank as amended and a majority of all the states reflected the same sentiment through the voting by delegations including a substantial number from the west and northwest with territorial Alaska joining this group 2 to 1 while nearly all of New England and the northern states favored the dorsement of Mr Truman's activities for with most of the territories voting the same way except the Canal Zone which stood by the opposition But for the big New England vote with Pennsylvania and New York together giving the civil-rights movement 172 votes nearly one fourth of the affirmative ballot Mr Truman would have had absolutely nothing for which to be gratified in regard to his shameful Maneuver to gain some racial political support in crucial areas at tile expense of the genuine constitutional Democratic Southland And there was one downright humiliating phase Of the convention for a "favorite was provoked upon the Philadelphia delegates in order to assure the president of nation-wide Democratic confidence That was the negative position taken by his home state of Missouri whose 34 delegation votes under the unit rule opposed the platform committee's minority recommendation that he be especially commehded for his demand for civil-rights legislation In receiving the so-called vote of confidence (so-called because of the slim margin given it) Mr Truman also received catitse for political apprehension because the convention's stand on this issue added fuel to the fire of discontent and disunity which had become threatening before the convention was open In insisting upon civil-rights program the Truman majority repudiated a fundamental principle of the party states' rights and these two convention decisions will make certain the defeat of the Truman candidacy for re-election Still arft)ther serious obstacle thrown into Mr Truman's political path by the majority at the convention with a' heavy block of its delegation dominated by "machines" of big centers was the defeat of a proposal to restore the two thirds rule for nomination This rule which had applied for more than 100 years until politically repudiated in 1936 would enable the South to have a voice in choosing party nominees which it no longer has The final "death knell" experience for the majority convention voters the protest registered against the president's nomination by all of the southern states whose delegatidns supported Senator Russell of Georgia as an outstanding states'-rights leader and in doing so sounded warning to the national party that it can not expect the self-respecting southern democracy to submit to the insult given it Mr Truman and Mr Barkley and the other foes of southern democracy surely can find nothing to give them any comfort or confidence regarding the 1948' presidential election At Philadelphia they had the political control and defied the southern 'Democrats taking it for granted that the South would still vote for the pariy's ticket regardless of the indignities and ingratitude But on election day the states'-rights Democrats will have the opportunity of slapping back righteously wrath-hilly and that's what the self-respecting Democrats of Louisiana and all other southern states must do politically to show their resentment as well as their determination to preserve constitutional liberties in this nation No genuine southern Democrat can have any justifiable sympathy for Truman et als Plainly they care nothing for the southern democracy except what they can get out of it The Aviation 'Gas' Tax Among the many proposed constitutional amendments to be voted on Nov 2 is one which will exclude aviation gasoline from taxation if the majority of the elettors give It approval Meanwhile the tax is being collected Its annulment which the proposed amendment seeks is considered important in the encouragement of the aviation industry Another tax applies to farm tractors and fishing boats but a proposed constitutional amendment has been ordered on the Nov 2 ballot for continuing or removing this levy Meanwhile the voters should be giving these propositions their attention to satisfy themselves if the gasoline taxes for whose exclusion the anlendments are proposed should or should -not be omitted Until the voters

precedents were ignored by both while new ones were set for the future Republicans who hadscru pulously avoided nominating for president a man who had previously been defeated did just that at Philadelphia In Thomas Dewey according to one comment they nominated a man "whom nobody wanted" The Democrats who had never before nominated a vice president who had succeeded the president with whom he had been elected did this when in their turn they met in Philadelphia However it can not be said that in naming Truman they selected the man "whom nobody wanted" The Republicans wanted him above any other candidate BOTH PARTIES had onething in common Neither nominated the man who by every test of public opinion had been shown to be the favorite of the voters of both Eisenhower Aside from this and from the manufactured "enthusiasm" there was little similarity in what happened at the two conventions Dewey appreciating that his party was weaker in the reclamation states of the West as the result of the parsimony of Congressman Taber and other Republicans in the congress with respects to reclamation and public power projects shrewdly set seige to Goy Earl Warren of California and 'finally per suaded him to accept the Republican nomination for vice president The choice was a politically wise one if disappointing to Halleck the reactionary from Indiana and other hopefuls On the
