The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1939-09-14

AS boys and girls leave for
schools and colleges, homes are
made lonely and the young
people face inconsistencies and
separation from the guiding
influence of home.
The affectionate, sympathetic
understanding present in home
life is difficult to maintain by
letters, but by telephone, home
ties can be kept alive and warm.
Telephone visits at regular in
tervals with children away at
school are as intimate as
though the children were at
home with you. They'll be hap
pier, and do better work. And
what a joy these Inexpensive
voice-visits will be to you.
The best plan is to arrange
for your boy or girl to call
home collect" at regular inter-
walls at a particular time. Then
by using Station to : Station
service after 7 p. M. or at any
time on Sundays, you can talk
100 miles for 35c, 200 miles
Csc, and greater distances at
correspondingly low cost.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 27.-A
stern-faced Confederate soldier was
successfully defending-against the
march of time-his position as the
sole occupant of a tiny strip of
greensward in the center of town
today.
AS a result, the township found
itself with a two-ton clock on its
hands, and no place to put it.
The situation developed when a
truck rumbled into town, bearing
the super -timepiece. 1t was do
mated to Rockville by the estate of
the late Walter Brownley, Washing
ton confectioner. Thousands of
Washingtonians have seen the clock,
which formerly stood at Twelfth

This tiny area had for some years
been the domain of a statue of the
Confederate infantryman who me-
morialized the thin gray line"
The clock was dumped at the SOL
dier's feet and plans were made to
set it up. Then the Ridgley Brown
Chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, heard about it and
threatened to start a war all its
own.
Mrs. Frank Wilson, who was cor
responding secretary of the organ
ization when the statue was erected,
declared war against the clock. The
soldier, she said, was there first.
There is barely enough room for
the monument" Mrs. Wilson COM
planned, without putting up large
clock beside it. The clock would
completely overshadow the statue" ."
Mayor Douglas Blandford decided
to put the issue up to the citisens.
