MISSISSIPPI MARCHES ON

Regardless of how old or how young you are, how rich
or how poor, if you are a Mississippian, there's something
waiting for you at the great free Mississippi State Far
which opens in jackson, Monday, October II, and continues
for one big week.
mississippi Marches on, is the theme adopted for the
1887 fair and indications are the fair will paint a true pic
ture depicting the progress made by the Magnolia State dur
ing the past year.
And no other state in the union has made more rapid
progress than has our own Mississippi. lndustrlally, agrl-
culturally, and in bodybuilding and heavy construction our
state has made astounding progress. No other state in the
south can compare with it for no other state IN the south
has advanced in the scale as much as has MISSISSIPPI.
The United States has in the past twelve months be,
come Mississippic conscious. An intensive and welEplahhed
advertising campaign OF and for the state mas peeh sue
cessfuIly launched and achieved what many people pro-
nounced impossible at the beginning.
The world knows Mississippi is wideawake and now un.
dergoing unprecedented development and growth.
M;ssissinnians themselves note daily the progress and
achievement of their state through the daily and weekly
press. Now they can view at the Mississippi State Far
a vast spectacle that will show them much better thah
words what's going on IN mississippi.
This years fair is the most comprehensive ever attempt
ed. The wide range of exhibits speak eloquently OF the vide
diversity of interests in Mississippi.
Particularly noteworthy is the new HugL White Indus

You A N TAKE TT"
Fall in line

People from every walk of life are afflicted with the
futurte delusion, according to Williams Mouiton Marstoa IN
the Rotarian in an article, "You Can't Take 1t With You.
We are all poor souls wasting the reality of today for
a tomorrow that never comes, says the writer who mas a
healthy slant on life as we moderns live it.
We can't take our money and our worldly success to the
other world. Six feet of earth is all any of us get! So
we had best spend our time and energies in living for today
and no; specializing too far on the morrow.
Make the most of each passing moment, doing your
task well until you come to love the task for the sake OF
dong. Don't fret and worry that you are in an undeserv-
ing calling. Make the best of it and look up, always,
smiling.
What a philosophy Of lifel
What a nation this would be if we would only have that
philosophy ingrained in our minds to stay.
There rs just one thing we can take into the future,
says Marston, and that is the knowledge of how to live.
"You can win that only by Iiving-in the real world
OF every day. If you have that knowledge, you hold a
magic key which unloeks tomorrow's treasury of happiness
when time pushes It into the present.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Sept. 81, y937.
Miss Hazel Brannon, Editor
The Durant News
Durant, Miss.
My dear Miss Brannou:
A few weeks ago, | noticed an
article in your paper comment
ing on the proposed abandonment
of the CCC Camp working on the
Holmes County State Park.
Everyone has regretted the ne
cessity for leaving the work at
this park in its present condition.
However, with the reduction in
the number of camps. there must
have been many instances where
work has not been completed. In
your particular case, l have the
feeling that your park Is more
fortunate than some of the others
since l feel that you have work
undone ample to justify reoccu-
patton for a full company at a
later date. Some of the parks
do not have this condition, and
it may be impossible to complete
unfinished projects with state
funds for at least a year.
In your particular park, there
is another situation that has been
a source of worry to many of the
technicians. This is the fact that
your lake area is on a bed OF
sand. There seems to be nc
doubt but that the lake will fill
up all right, but there have beer
many expressions of concern as
to whether it would remain full
during the summer. This beine
the case, and the lake being
such an important part of the re
irrational area, ! am hoping tina.
the lake will fill promptly ant
remain full satisfactorily, so tina.
we will have a much stronger
argument in the near future 70,
requesting reoccupation by a new
CCC Camp.
Very truly yours,
FRED b. MERRILL.
State Forester ant
Park Authority.

Warrington, ID. C.--Tltere's an
ancient and honorable question
here at the capitol. What
do the people Think Years and
years ago a cynical pc elan
gave the succinct answer-Ihey
DON'T 1t may have been true
then and it may be true today
but certainly the people have
oplnions-definite opinions-as
one of the big newspaper CHAINS
found out when it sent its in
curing reporters on Cora cn
Day to ask the public, wat
does the Constitution raean 10
youY
The anhwers were astcun1ng
in their uniformity. Nine out Of
ten had never read it OF a0y
part of it. Seven out OF IN
didn't think it ought to be
'scrapped' but six of the seven
thought it wouldn't hurt to
change it some.
To nearly all it seemed a
strange, seml-sacred screed not
unlike a totem pole or a hair OF
the beard of Mohamct which II
was better not to tamper unless
1t interferred with the good OF
the people.
That's the 1887 viewpoint OF
the document whose preamble
reads, in part, we. the people
of the United States, III order t.
torn a more perfect union, es.
tablihh justice, Promote tn,
general welfare. ,
Remember this view point whe1
the next election rolls around ane
the candidates raise the peren
NAL cry of Save the Constitu
tion.'
At present political Washington
is far more interested in finding
out the public's opinion on the
Justice Black-Ku Klux Khan at
fair. Considered opinions vary
but the most logical goes some
thing like this-the Khan is sup
posed to be, in the mind of thu
public, chiefly anti-Jewlsh ant
anti Catholic. To the white pro
testant voter membership may b,
a sign of degeneracy or a badg'
of honor-according to the indi
vidual point of view. But TIN
Jews and Catholics are very lar
gely concentrated in the big cit
les where the Khan and its &C
tivities are as remote and as ur
important as an Indian Khos
Dance. The supposed fierce RI
sentiment is mostly in newspape
headlines. The real pressure TO
something to be done about il
will come-if it comes-from tn
smaller places where the Khan i
sue is a living thing.
Anybody who believes tina
AmoA.ns are a peace loving
nation devoted to neutralit
should drop in secretly on Sec
rotary of State Hull-but don
say we sent you. A continue
storm has ragged ovre our neu
trality in the Spanish Rebellion
