being Just "fun." A nice sum was netted
to be used in Infantile Paralysis Control
work Heartfelt thanks and keenest ap-
p4eciation 20 out to Joe Berman, county
chairman and his committee who made
tho dance delightful affair. And as
we thank our county chairman, his com
mittee, and those who helped make the
ball success, we can't help but think
about the thousands of others all over
the nation who are serving on the same
type OF committee and helping to make
the InIantile Paralysis Drive a success,
of the orchestras who are donating their
services to help reduce expense of the
gala occasions, and Of the President, who
wholly right this time, has given his
birthday and lent his support to make
lifo happier for children and grown
ups afflicted with Infantile Paralysis.
Proud are we that we can use our nor
NAL, healthy bodies, and our vim and vi
tality in perfectly natural pastime,
dancing, so that others might walk and
enjoy in some measure, the privilege
that we have and appreciate SO little.
Each year, the ladies of the Natchez
Garden Club and the Pilgrimage Garden
Club of Natchez, sponsor two pilgrim
ages to the city of Natchez, one of the
most interesting old cities in our nation.
Five years ago, when yours truly visited
there during the Pilgrimage, there was
only one tour teatured--and to my mind
it could have been no better. Now, with
two lovely affairs planned, as the GUS
tom has been for the past two years, the
First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Roosevelt,
has been asked to participate in the
events and has graciously accepted.
Those who have thought Of attending
either Pilgrimage, March 4 or March
20, may wish to go to the first division"
so that they might hear the First Lady
speak on "A Day At The White House."
Charles Schrock, young owner-manag-
er of Schrock's, new service station on
the outskirts of Tchula, has agreed to
give our orchestra, the Southern Sere-
naders, a real break and feature US in
his High School Night, first in series
of similar affairs to take place in the
Swing Room. The event will take place
on February 3 and will be "bushel of
fun" for all ye young jitterbugs. So
step out, one and all, and take advan-
tage of the opportunity Mr.. Schrock is
offering. The special script, mentioned
in his ad, the good music 1--WE think so),
and the prevailing atmosphere of his
place should make all of us want to turn
out in full fashion at the High School
Night.

Off The Record: Our very efficient
band organization made a fine showing
in Greenwood, thanks to the continued
efforts of the Jaycees, the school and
the band Director, Mr.. Scott. Too, we
believe a little more cooperation on the
pant OF the musicians, themselves has
done quite a bit to help. The topic
OF the day in the South is the newly
formulated plan of the National Cotton
Council. And good one it will be, too.
