KEEP MIssIssIPPIANs AT HOME

The thing that struck us about a recent publicity dis
patch was this: 'The Texas Mississippi Chapter has a chap
ter in each of the 253 counties in Texas and it's membership
is well over fifty thousand native Mississippians."
Over $4,000 native Mississippians in the state Of Texas
alone More people than many, many counties in the state
have including both whites and blacks.
If Texas has more than $4,000 Mississippians it would
south have. Many more than that we suspect. AS a matter
OF fact statistics have been given before to show conclusively
that a larger number of people leave Mississippi for other
states than the number who come into the state.
What a wonderful thing it would be if Mississippi
could conserve all that energy and brains for use within it's
own confines. Mississippi, like most any other state, needs
all the intelligent, great-minded leadership it can command.
There has been a day, we will admit, when conditions
seemed to present a lack of opportunity in this state for a
large number of people.
Today, we believe, that picture has changed.
Mississippi offers as much opportunity for advancement
IN business and industry as any state in the south. We be-
leve she offers much more for she has SO much 1a1.Aer to 90
in the industrial and commercial world.
just as the trend is for expansion and development of
interests at home in a financial way we find the trend is in
the same direction regarding our institutions of higher learn
ing.
Today the facilities of Mississippis educational institu-
tions are on a par with any of those in the country. More
and more our colleges and schools are deserving and getting
national recognition.
No longer does John and Mary want to leave the .tate
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1937-07-01
AMERICA rs STILL FREE

There are those in America who would have the Ameri-
can people think their freedom is being undermined by the
present administration that America no longer has its
basic freedom and independence such as our ~forefathers
fought and died for. They would have us believe that it will
be only a matter of time before America will have a great
dictatorship such as other countries of the world have.
1t is no wonder that we have in our midst such people.
They are a product of our newspaperreading, notwithstanding
and picture show-going era. Everywhere and every day we
read, hear and see where strong men in big countries are
trampling under feet, so to speak, their people who are
much weaker.
It is not surprising that some Of our 80 called leaders
lead rs to believe that the same thing will happen in America.
such a thing is an a~bsurdity and an impossibilty.
American people are a funny sort Of people. Seemingly
they pay no attention to their form Of government or the
way it is run. They seem to leave it up to the voters and
the politicians who manipulate the voters. The voice Of the
American people is not heard very frequently. Office hold
ss seem to forget their platform promises after they are
elected. On the surface, through the mediums which express
public opinion in this country, newspapers, radio and pic
ture shows), tho American people seem to be awfully indiff-
erent to what goes on in their government.
But all is not what it seems on the surface. At heart
che American people are more vitality interested in preserv-
ing their institutions and their government than any country
in the world. The reason we don't hear SO much about the
preservation of our rights is because the American people
don't have to worry about the preservation Of their govern
ment and their freedom and independence.
Every politician and office holder in this country knows
the minute he gets to tampering with personal liberties and
the fundamental institutions and divisions of the United
States government he is going to start a howl that will be
heard all over the world "a howl that will not cease until
John Public gets what he wants.
The case of the Supreme Court reorganization is enough
proof Of that.
American people have their freedom and independence
and by the grace Of God and their own peculiar makeup
they are going to retain them. America is a land made up
OF many strong minds and great hearts and every heartbeat
of the true citizen is for the preservation of the ideals this
country was founded.
July 4 in America will continue a national holiday 49,.
and every July 4 for many hundreds of years to come will
continue the day Of celebrating the real freedom enjoyed by
the greatest nation in the world.

ward when paving work is completed on, Highway No. 81;
that there are now eleven auto service stations within the
corporate limits, and more are being planned. Maybe before
work on No. 81 is finished filling stations in Durant will be
as thick as feas On Fido.
Of course, all the tourists hurrying northward and south
ward at q speed of from 40 to 80 miles per hour, according
to the gears of their cars and the spirit of recklessness, can't
be expected to stop at all the filling stations in Durant. That
would be expecting quite too much.
Being a bright little Boy Scout at the moment, and eager
to do something helpful, here is a suggestion: Why doesn't
Durant offer something in the way of added attractions?
Why not a swimming pool in front of each service station
filled with bathing beauties?
That would surely stop them.
