IKIarry Holt in Chorea Preparing 100
Orphan Tots tor FDSght to America
Creswell (DH- Harry Holt,
farmer from Creswell, is still
in the babylift business. He's
in Seoul, Korea, preparing
another 100 orphan tots and
toddlers for a flight to new
homes and new lives in the
United States.
Over the past four years,
Holt has found U.S. homes
for 1,615 Korean orphans
the offspring of American
GIs stationed in Korea and
girls from the "Land of the
Morning Calm."
It hasn't been easy. There
have been hassles with immi
gration officials and medical
societies, but they now seem
to be resolved.
More than 300 children jam
Holt's orphanage in Seoul -all
of them in the process of
adoption by American fami
lies. The newest batch will ar
rive in the U.S. at the end of
this month by chartered
plane and will be received
with affection by their Ameri
can foster-parents. Holt says
that lately the process has
been a little tougher and
slower because immigration
officials, under new rulings,
are making more thorough
checks of both children and
their prospective parents.
But this does not discourage
the Holts.
Adopted Eight Themselves
As Mrs. Holt puts it: "We
are Christians. We pleaded
that we could continue, and
the Lord allowed us to do so
This pretty much sets the
tone for the whole babylift
operation which started when
Harry Holt read an article
about the plight of Korean
orphans fathered by GIs in
Korea.
A fairly well-to-do family,
the Holts poured all their
money and energy into the
babvlift - and for a starter
adopted eight of them them
selves to go along with their
own six children.
"They are very much
Amercan how," Mrs. Holt
says. After four years, the
four oldest are in Creswell
schools and doing nicely.
"We receive letters from
parents all the time bragging
about how their children are
doing," he added.
The biggest pitfall in the
operation has probably been
the question of the children's
health. There have been hold
ups by Immigration for checks
on possible tuberculosis or
measles and one little 11-'
month-old girl died of pneu
monia shortly after arriving.
But the Holts think these
problems are now licked.
They have two doctors one
Korean and one American -in
their $40,000 Seoul orphan
age; this plus 20 Korean
nurses to help prepare the
1,000 bottles of formula need
ed daily.
Have Own Hospital
Mrs. Holt says "we have
our own hospital now. The
children are in good health
when they come over."
The Holts praise both the
Immigration Service and the
American Embassy in Seoul
for their cooperation.
Corvallis Debates
Library Control
Corvallis-(DPD-The city coun
cil here differs sharply as to
whether the local public li
brary should remain under
city control or be taken over
by Benton county.
The council voted 5 to 3 at
a "work" meeting to try again
to give the library to the
county. The County Court has
said it won't take the library
wihout voter approval and
that it won't ask for a vote
unless voters themselves peti
tion to have a measure put
on the ballot.
The city council said it
wouldn't circulate a petition
and it didn't know who would.

'Bull Session' Supplies Spark
For New Integration
Editor'! note: A new form of
anti-segregation campaign by Sou
thern Negroes is taking . place in
five sontnern states, it attacics
custom instead of law, and some
leaders expect it to develop into
an all-out assault on racial segre
gation without the delay or legal
maneuvers and court arguments.

Virginia and Florida supplied in

Atlanta - (UPD - Three weeks
ago today a "bull session" in
a college dormitory supplied
the spark for what may be
come the first full-scale as
sault by Southern Negroes on
the nerve center of racial seg
regation in the South.
The attack is on Southern
customs and Southern habits
-not Southern laws.
The movement began with
Negro college students at
Greensboro, N.C., Feb. 2 and
raced throughout North Caro
lina into Virginia, South Car
olina, Tennessee and Florida.
It appeared in New York City
and in Baltimore, Md.

Until smooth Smirnoff came along, nobody had tried using
vodka in a Dry Martini. In fact, ten years ago, only one Ameri

Today, thanks to Smirnoff, vodka drinks are everywhere . . .
and the Vodka Martini is a household word. If you want the
world's subtlest, driest Martini, try making it with Smirnoff!
And let nobody tell you all vodkas are the same!

Bond Interest Plan
Washington-flJPD-The House
Ways and Means committee
has approved 18-6 a bill
that would give President Ei
senhower sweeping authority
to ignore the W, per cent in

bond issues.
Although the measure would
not grant Eisenhower's re
quest for outright repeal of
the per cent interest ceil

has said it needs.
The bill was rammed
through the - committee over

Campaign
All insisted the Greensboro
demonstration was spontan
eous. But the local president
of the National Association
for the Advancement of Color
ed People called in another
organization to coordinate and
lead- the campaign.
Spurs Demonstration
The Congress for Racial
Equality of New York sent
Gordon Carey, 28, a white
man, to spur the Greensboro
demonstration into something
bigger.
Leaders of other demonstra
tions in other North Carolina
cities denied that CORE had
a part in their plans. But
CORE managed similar dem
onstrations in Tallahassee,
Fla., and other cities.
The NAACP encouraged
the movement and provided
lawyers for those arrested on
charges ranging from tres
passing to disturbing the
peace. It denies, however, any
part in the organization or
leadership.
"We are trying to show
Negroes the best way to dem
onstrate," Carey said. "We
are trying to show them that
it is better to hit one chain
store than different stores."
There are no laws requir
ing segregation at the lunch
counters of drug, dime and
department stores in the
South. There only is long
standing custom.
Negroes long have been ac
cepted customers at such
stores-but never at the lunch
counters.
"That's what I call
a Dry Martini.
What proportions
you use?"
"Same as always ...
but with Smirno ff
instead of gin."

The Little Cochineal Bug
Produces a Red Dye
To most of us the deliberate
planting of a special crop for
the express purpose of raising
bugs is a funny business. What
makes it even funnier is that
the planted crop consists of
cactus plants.
And this isn't any small
business either, although it
does deal wjrth a "small prod
uct," the product being a
group of bugs who during
their lifetime of sucking cac
tus juice into their little
bodies, convert the sap into a
brilliant red dye.
To add confusion to the al
ready ridiculous business of
planting a crop to raise more
bugs is the discouraging fact
that an expert collector, one
familiar with his job and
willing to work hard, can just
about gather two ounces of
insects during the course of
one working day. Probably,
too, the man is conscious of
the almost hopelessness of his
vocation if he stops to realize
that it will take 70,000 of the
little woolly - looking insect
blobs to weigh a single pound.
Pretty Important
This little bug, the Cochi
neal insect, is a pretty impor
tant little guy. Its importance
goes back a long way, too, for
the ladies of Queen Isabella's
court made Cortez promise to

bring back, from one of his
early trips to Mexico, some of
the dye that is manufactured
in the bodies of the cochineal
insect for them to use in color
ing their courtly robes a
bright scarlet color. The old
Spanish explorer Cortez lived
nearly 500 years ago, but even
before his time the Indians of
South America and the an
cient Mexicans' knew and
used . the scarlet dye that
comes from the bodies of the
cochineal insect.
Today sandy wastelands in
Mexico, the West Indies and
many other sections of the
world, are planted to branch
ing cactus with the planned
purpose of acting as grazing
pastures to a host of little in
sects. As soon as the plants
are of suitable size, a group
of cochineal insects or their
eggs are placed on the plant
stems.
The individual cochineal is
somewhat smaller than an
aspirin tablet. But ' they are
willing little workers, or more
correctly, willing drinkers,
for once on their favorite
plant they plunge their sharp
little beaks into the tissues of
the cactus, then they , start
their little pumps, sucking the
juice into their tiny insides;
insides that are actually "dye
factories." . '

is wingless. She Is a little
larger than the male who has
wings., Both are usually cov
ered with a white, mealy
powder. Without the powder,
the little bodies are a reddish
brown. . They belong to the
scale insect family, sluggish
sapsucking creatures that
spend their lives drinking the
juice of the cactus plant.
The human harvester who
gathers this strange crop,
races from plant to plant arm
ed with a soft brush and a bag
into which the insects are
brushed. After a full day's
work, the collector takes the
ounce or so of bugs he has
gathered and dumps them into
boiling water.
