Streamline Shrinkage Overtakes Many Divisions The streamlining shrinkage evident in the changes and interchanges in our whole economy is overtaking many of our practices and customs which seemed a few short years ago as permanent fixtures. For instance, what once was known as a blighted rurals has opened up as the most desirable settlement areas. Crowded conditions in the cities, unleashed noises and congested disturbances are causing many an individual to look toward the spacious wooded areas for home settlement. The coming of the electric light, gas heating, radios, rural telephones, televisions, daily newspapers and every other convenience known to city life have pieced rural living in preferred columns. Paved roads, with RFD's daily connecting rural dwellers. with the outside world, are added assets and no longer can one be reduced to a lowest common denominator by being referred to as one of the country brethrens. Modern improvements and good centralized rural schools are producing a highly cultural social order, and not much longer can the rurals maintain a monopoly on backward minds outmoded customs and styles, contagious diseases and bad English. The shrinkage contingent to these changed conditions and improved appetites not only is demanding removal of division lines between people, but our economy is rapidly undergoing changes. A few years ego, in the horse and buggy age, the mule and the plow occupied a first place in Georgia land southern economy. The ploughman was looked upon as one of those Individuals not necessarily in need of education and only meant for the menial task of following behind the plow with no thought whatever that he would go outside the confines of a social order where nice presentment and occasionally good English would be needed. The farm life of yesteryear took a heavy toll in illiteracy, typhus fever, tuberculosis, syphilis, and poor housing facilities. Maybe it was well that the farm, as many of us knew it, had to pass off the scene for another economy. Fallen cabins, deserted school houses and churches all fell beneath the axe of this shrinkage. Cattle grazing, cotton milling, tobacco growing and factory life have definitely supplanted an order which brought over from slavery the curse of illiteracy, poverty and disease. Whether those who worked for this change or not realized it, there is assuredly coming changes on other fronts. The county unit in the political arena is one of those. Those who have attended recent meetings and hearings on this urban redevelopment ideas all have seen that when any particular section is explored for the safe-keeping of segregation, it isn't long before one runs again into a white settlement. It is highly apparent that many of the worshipped customs designed for the wall-building between people and institutions will in time themselves succumb to this terrible shrinkage evident on all sides. Thusly one of the most powerful factors of unity, works almost noiselessly and harmoniously of natural causes—" while the city sleeps. Three Minutes Out Of A Life Three minutes in a lifetime is nothing. They pass in a flash, like the blinking of an eye. Yet in three minutes tremendous things, both good and bad, can happen. In three minutes a life can be made or broken, a city can be wiped out by an earthquake, a whole nation can be plunged into joy or grief. In three minutes, for instance, a man can be infected by a polio virus which may knock him flat on his back for the rest of his life. Or, in three minutes he can get three shots of Salk vaccine—at 60 seconds per shot—and be saved from the life time of crippling. Over 65 million Americans have been wise enough to get their polio shots. Some 46 million are still flirting with disaster by neglecting to do so. What's more, if you're one of those 46 million unvaccinated Americans, you're encouraging the outbreak of new polio epidemics in your community. Not till everybody has received his series of three Salk shots will the dread plague of paralytic polio be completely wiped out in this country. Summertime is polio time. NOW is the time to start your polio vaccination. It's painless. It's inexpensive. Don't take a chance—take your polio shots! TELEVISION TIME FILMS DEVOLPED "SANDY DOESN'T BELIEVE IN WASTING A THING!"

OH BOY-it's GOOD Forest Hill CHOCOLATE MILK Forest Hill CHOCOLATE MILK Forest Hill CHOCOLATE MILK Senate Approves Gordon Tiffany The Senate rejected protests of Southerners Wednesday and approved President Eisenhowers appointment of Gordon M. Tiffany as staff director of the Civil Rights Commission. The vote was 67 to 13. Opponents of the nomination charged that Tiffany, a former New Hampshire Attorney General, is biased against the South and will only aggravate racial tensions. The civil rights fight came as President Eisenhower spoke out strongly at his news conference on the school integration issue. He said he sent federal troops to Little Rock, Ark., last fall because a Federal Court order was being defied but-added: "I am not going to try to predict what the exact circumstances in any other case will be." Mr. Eisenhower said: "But I do say this: I deplore the need for the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts. In the Senate, Sen. Richard B. Russell (D., Ga.), said he had hoped the important post of staff director for the Civil Rights Commission would be filled by a man of national prestige who would "inspire confidence." Russell, who led the unsuccessful fight last year against the bill setting up the commission, charged that Tiffany fails to meet this standard and instead is a "man of preconceived ideas." Chairman James O. Eastland (D., Miss.), led off the fight against Tiffany by declaring the use of troops at Little Rock is no more forgivable than the Communist riots in Budapest. Eastland said he did not think Tiffany a Communist but he said that the nominee by such actions as "inviting a Communist front to give him information" has shown he is clearly disqualified to direct the commission's investigation of civil rights offenses. Sen. Norris Cotton (R., N. H.), denied as "absolutely preposterous" any suggestion that Tiffany has been "soft on Communism." He declared that Tiffany dratted New Hampshire's present anti-subversive act. Cotton told the Senate that Tiffany would enter his new post "without any prejudice against any section of the country" and would "lean over backwards to be fair."

Racial Conditions Vice President's turbulent "good will" tour of South America. There were indications Tuesday night that Nixon would cut short his visit. Aides expressed fear the hostile Venezuelans might try to sabotage his plane. They were mindful of the warnings that an attempt might be made to assassin nate the Vice President. Injury to Nixon was certainly the purpose of the crowds who showered him and his wife with gravel and jeered him at Maiquetia Airport, smashed the windows of his limousine in downtown Caracas and awaited his arrival at the national shrine with clubs and stones. Fortunately, Nixon did not go to the shrine. His battered auto was driven to the Circulo Militar (Mili tary Club) and then to the guarded residence of the U. S. Ambassador. MEALTIME MELODIES!

Bartholomew called within a minute-and a-half. About Your Home Noted decorators tell us that color creates the strong first impression in a home. Today colors are bolder than in recent seasons, but not blinding. They are used in stronger doses against walls that are still off-white or light beige. A good idea is to concentrate color at eye-level, and on down, in a room. The lamps and their shades, upholstery, and carpeting tend to match. Bedrooms in orange are becoming as popular as the standard pink bedroom. Patterns are large in scale and are used sparingly but importantly. They can make one appearance in a room in a boldly scrolled Spanish rug for the floor, or the covering for an important item of furniture in a room — such as the sofa. Textures are even newer looking than the patterns. They include soft surfaces of suede cloth and velvet, and deep, fur-like naps of nylon carpeting. The fabric used for seatcovers and upholstery is often very rough in texture, but soft to the touch. By making use of all the synthetic fibers, new lift has been given to all fabrics used in decorating a home. Window treatments are simple. The trend is to blend the window into the background. Blinds and shades are, for the most part, a thing of the past, with drawn drapes very much in favor.
