CCC WORKERS
aOv. WIRES CONGRESSMAN
ABOUT PARK

CCC SP-6, Durant, empty since
October 8, when the camp was
taken away from Durant, is be-
ng dismantled this week and
moved to Moundville, Alabama.
It will be regretted there and
HCCC boys will be moved in to
work on q state park in Alabama.
Several truck loads of the lun-
Der and materials have already
gone and the rest will be shipped
as soon as it can be torn down
and loaded onto freight cars.
Local leaders have been unsuc-
cessful so far in attempting to
keep enough buildings here to
take care of a number of men suf
ficient to complete the work on
tie unfinished Holmes County
State Park, five. and one-half
miles south Of Durant.
Only a few men are working on
the Holmes park at the present
time and these are transported
from the Lexington camp to the
park daily which makes it neces-
sary to carry them eighteen and
one-half miles per day to work
and back at night. In addition
another trip has to be made at
noon to bring the meals to the
workers. This makes approx
mately rs miles per day the men
are now travelling.
If a side camp could be estab-
lished at Durant, as local men de-
sire, the distance could be cut
down to % miles per day and loss
of much time could be eliminat-
ed.
Governor Hugh White sent the
following telegram regarding the
camp to Senator Pat Harris0n
and Congressman Will Whiting
ION this week Understand that
Government started dismantling
CCC Camp at Durant this norm
/ strongly urge that if it is
at all possible, the camp be re-
at Durant and a small com
pany be located at Durant for the
completion of the State Park
here. / further understand that
new park and CCC camp is to
be located on the coast and am
well pleased, but am very anx-
ious thatthe Durant park be put
in serviceable condition. Best
wishes. Signed: Hugh White,
Governor.
Governor White received the
following replies: Civilian Con.
servation Corps and National Park
Service advise unfinished work
On Holmes County Park original
ly approved will be completed by
enrollees from a nearby camp but
that under policy at abandoned
camps buildings will be removed
and dismantled. Regret they de-
cline to reconsider. Will M. Whit
tington.'
Have just talked with Con-
rad Wirth National Park Service
who assures me work program
will be completed at Durant State
Park. Camp being salvaged and
transferred but work will contin-
ue by transporting enrollees from
nearby camp each day until job
completed. Regards. Pat Harri-
son."

HAZEL EYES
BY Hazel Brannon

Russia should by virtue Of her
enormous manpower and resour%
ces, be a leader among nations in
the world.
However, Russia is q country
where blood flows like wine and
human life is cheap.
The political party in power
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1938-03-24

for the government because 1t
doesn't permit minority parties or
opposition.
A strong opposition or minori-
ty is needed to make any govern
ment strong and stable AS long
as Russia kills her opposition she
will never become q strong stable
government and a leader among
nations. She cannot even COM
mand their respect
A good strong opposition is q
healthy sign in any government
whether it be natic0al state or
local. It tends to prevent graft,
corruption and protect the rights
Of minorities .
When one party stays in power
too long a government becomes
unwieldy and cumbersome. It sti-
fles and impedes progress and ev-
erybody suffers.
The United States government
is powerful because it is made up
OF strong, free people, constantly
held in check by a powerful mi
nority, eager and ready at any
time to resume control.
So let's be thankful for our OPP
position . We people OF the south
would be SO much better off II
we had more Of it and weren' 7
such good Democrats.

We've just thought of a new
way for the government to spend
money. 1t might start a gigantic
'trailer-building program to house
the CCC boys in. Then when they
finish one project they could pro-
coed to another job with little de-
Law.

Grcatcr Germany Ii . reality
which neither Paris nor London,
Moscow nor Geneva can shake.
1--WE don't talk about what we
intend to dove go ahead and
do it and we stand BY our
deeds"
Thus spoke Joseph Goebbels,
chief Nazi propagandist at Ber-
lin .
The whole philosophy of the
Nazi party is summed up in this
terse statement Of fact.
The sharp and straight-to-the
point way Of doing things in Ger
many forms a striking contrast
to the eternal political maneuyer-
ings and hushed-mouth policy of
Britain's diplomatic corps.
Senator Pat Harrison and Con
gresham Will Wilmington in tel
egrams to Governor White assur-
ed the Governor that work at the
Holmes County State Park will
be completed regardless Of the
fact that CCC buildings at the
Durant camp are now being dis
mantled and moved to Moundville
Alabama.
Of course the simplest way Of
completing the Holmes County
Park is to move enough CCC boys
in here at the Durant camp and
keep them here until the work
is completed.
The government apparently
doesn't choose the simplest. least
expensive way Of doing things.
However, if it wishes to spend
more money transporting boys
from the Lexington camp to the
park, a distance of over Is miles,
twice daily, and another trip for
meals, it is alright with us al long
as the work at the park rs COM
pleted. We don't care who does
the work nor where they come
from as long as it is done.
AT the rate the work is pro-
crossing now, however, with only
ten or fifteen men a day work
ing, the park won't be finished
until we're dead and gone.
If the Park Service would send
sixty or more men here and keep
them here awhile the work could
proceed rapidly and get finished
so that the park can be used this
summer.
Why they don't do it is anoth-
er proposition.

 Meanwhile von Schirach's pub lioation Willie und Macht' (Will and Power) showed that a notable departure was planned in matters of dress.

 But" said he, they failed in achieving that divine harmony of body, soul and spirit which can emerge under nazism alone"

BALTIMORE, March 25.-Social- ly prominent Mrs. Savannah Bar rett Butt enjoys being blacksmith at 65 as much as she used to enjoy riding to hounds.

Now she is outgrowing her cellar workshop.

BERLIN, March 25.-Femirine hearts were all a-twitter when the official order went forth recently that elegance was to be the new watchword for the organized young womanhood of the Third Reich.
 It was the Hitler Youth Leader handsome Baldur von Schirach- 30 and married-who discovered that mannish leather jerkins and sloppy skirts, business-like enough for hiking or farm work, did not make very esthetic picture in society under the present dispen- sation.
 Pleasant Bombshell
 At a recent rally of his co-work- CTS, von Schirach dropped this pleasant bombshell-that special crganizat ation was being created to promote feminine grace and ele- gance.
 This organization, the Faith and Beauty Union of German Girls was placed in charge of smart, 26-year-old Countess Clem- entine gu Castell, an "Obergau- fuehrerin" district leader) of Hit Ter Girls.
