WATERMELONS

J. F. Rosborough
Watermelon shipments from
South Central Texas wiSl be get-
ting under way this week. A few
cars and trucks were loaded last
week, but in general, the melons
were too green. I watched an in-
spector cut a numbet' otf melons
to determine maturity. About one
ut of four "cut green." In an-
'!:er 3-7 ila.vs. these green
melons would ha\*e been ripe. If

Statue of Jeanne D'Arc In the Vieux-Marehe, Rouen
With the charms of spring quietly
blending into summer, the /cte-
loving French are turning their
world-renowned cultured eyes
towards the arts. From May untit
October a bright galaxy of art and
music festivals awaits tourist and
student alike, and these always
have been for me a particuiarty
enriching experience.
One of the highlights I'm espe-
cially anxious to see is the Joan
of Arc Festival at Rouen, May 30.
an open-air performance of Hon-
cggcr's brilliant drama, "Jeanne au
I'ucher." I: promises to be one of
the most exciting dramatic events
of the season, [magine seeing "Joan
at the Stake" in the very town
where she was martyred over four
hundred years ago!
Then to Burgundy, province of
wine, of green valleys and rugged
clitfs, and artwise, of those fancifut
. '.one figures which peer out from
the capitals of eenturies-old Roman-
esque abueys. Ma :undy is present-
ing an outstanding program this
stnnmer, the world-famous "Nuits
de Boumugne," a gala three months
testivalofmusic. drama, art and
the ballet beginning in May. Be-
sanco]i on the River Doubs is hav-
' ing a double fete, the first in May
whieh features an exhibition of
""mmg French Painting" at its
Mua-e des Bcau\ Arts, and the
o.he. during a fortnight in Septem-
ber (1-15) with general festivities
and a forward-looking exhibition
of "Young Contemporary Sculp-
ture" at the Musee Granvelle.
Travelling south to Van Gogh
country I expect to arrive in time
to enjoy a few weeks in sunny
Aix-en-Provence where the noted
Musee Granet is having a Pastoral
Provence Exhibition from May 15
to June !5. And for a memorable
qt<i!):aiae tnxsicafe my next stop
wil! be Prades. a charming little
town in the Pyrenees near the Span-
ish border, focat point of a great
musicai event, the Pablo Casals
Festival. From June 7 to 21^. Casals,
the world's foremost cellist, will
make his only annuai public ap-
pearance in a series of Beethoven
concerts. Another musical treat
awaits the traveller in Strasbourg.
In June also (11-20). the Alsatian
capital has one of the most varie-
gated programs on the summer
calendar inciuding choral and organ
concerts in its ancient cathedral,
classical and contemporary French
music and a ptay by Moliere.

News From Washington
John Dowdy, Your Congressman.
Washington, D. C., July 2.—
My dear friends:
There were two important bills
before the House this week. The
first was the foreign-aid bilt,
which authorized additionai ap-
propriations amounting to $3,500.-
000,000 (billions) in addition to
the $10,000,000,000 (billions) here,
tofore appropriated but not spent.
The amount pianned to be given
to foreign nations during the fis-
ca! year that started yesterday is
equal to about $87 each for every
man, woman and child that is a
citizen of the United States. It
even provides nearly one billion
dollars for Indo-China, which
country may be in the hands of
the Communists before this bill
becomes law.
I voted against the bill, among
other reasons being that I do not
see how we can afford it. We have
already given away over $130
biHions under this program, and
have less friends than when it
started.
The Administration says we
can afford that, but cannot afford
a farm program for our own coun-
try that will enable the farmers to
stay in business, yet the farm pro-
gram costs our citizens only $2
each per year, as compared with
$87 for the foreign aid program.
The 20 year cost of the farm pro-
gram has been 3% billion, or 1%
of the value of the crops and live-
stock marketed during that time.
It seems to me the prosperity oi
our own nation and our farmers is
worth at least I-40th as much as
we have given and are giving to
other nations.
The second bill we had this
week is the agricu!ture bill. The
bill, having 51 pages, is too long
to discuss here. I thought the bill,
on reported by the Committee on
Agriculture, was better than the
amenttedbill as passed by Me
Hou-e, but we were outvoted.
