War department had planned to

and another increment of the same
size on April /.
Its program provides that there

Gen. George C. Marshall, the Army
chief of staff not long ago said was
needed for the defense TO the west

After a years training, the con-
scripts are to be allocated to reserve
components, liable to a call to duty
for ten years thereafter.
The final day of debate brought
several important decisions, includ
ing the adoption Of an amendment
empowering the President to con

put In the discussion. This would
apply to instances in which manu-
facturers hold out for unduly high

fulfilling private or foreign contracts.
Then, the President may take over

Roland gave as his explanation
of Democracy as the right to live
ones life as he chooses so long as
he respects the rights Of others.
The speaker then described
Americas danger and the lack of
trained officers and men in this
country. He stated that the wealth
of this nation tempted the cupidity
Of the Totalitarian nations. He
gave the fall Of France, Norway,
Denmark, Holland, Poland, Bel
GUM and many others as the re-
suit of not being prepared and
urged the return to fundamentals
and not theoris to be taught the
children in the schools.
The superintendent next stated
"Our Challenge to the world as

pills. Return and bring our parents
back to real discipline.
As his final point, Roland urged
the return to discipline, mental,
physical and moral. He urged hard
problems and to teach the child
how to work at things they did
not like. Also, that each boy OF
girl be required to do some physi'
cal work and learn manual arts
and trades.
Under the physical discipline the
boy or girl would learn, by train.
ing, to harden their muscles which
would lengthen their life span,
Physical self-control would be &C
quired through teaching by the
teacher and government and the
parent.
Moral discipline would teach the
student a sense Of responsibility
and the ability to choose the best
things in life. Good habits would
develop and the child would learn
to fill his or her mind with good
literature and good movies instead
of the communistic teachings
which appear in many magazines
today. The child would learn to
avoid road houses. immoral
movies and books, etc.

noticed the way he took criticism - surly
and resentful. And once, down south, I'd seen
what he did to little guy on the opposition

he'd given the little guy broken jaw for that

Stacked up against his home runs, my choked-
bat singles looked sick. But Kitty always
pooh-poohed the home-run stuff: Home runs

polish, hustle and cool head" Well, maybe
so. But Jug Slavin didn't think it was what
counted - not enough, anyway.

l sat there with the diamond just green blur,
framing opening phrases to her. I had a little
talk uith jug today. I decided I'd better
quit riding the bench and play steady some
where . But all of it left big brown taste
in my mouth. And you can't kid Kitty.
Then, all of sudden, in the seventh inning
my mind came back to the game with quick
snap. We were trailing the Cubs by run in
the last of that seventh. We had a man on
second, with two down, when Mowbray
clipped high, fast one between left and
center that looked like an easy triple. The
runner on second crossed the plate with the
tying run as Mowbray rounded second.

next thing, he was lying on the infield path in
the dust and the hard, bright sunshine. He
rolled in pain for seconds, then collected his
bearings and started to crawl on his stomach
back to the bag. He beat the throw-in by
inches; then the Robins dugout enptied fast,
as they poured out to pick him up.
The first thing that flashed into my mind
was how kitty's lunches never seemed to

The weekly echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1931-1942, 1940-03-01

One great question that confront:
US today is: why do Negroes leave the
south and go north, east and west
There are those who are asking does
it pay in the final analysis. There
are those who are asking why should
colored people leave the south. Why
should he leave the southern white
man with whom he has dwelled so
many years.
When we begin to study the stu
alton and see how many of our group
by the thousands have practically
given away their life's earning in
order that they may leave the south
we ask for what purpose, and does it
pay.
We can see growing tendency
among some of the whites of the
south to be more considerable of the
Negro and his rights, and we think
this is largely contributed to what we
might call the new south. There
are young white men and young
white women in this new school of
thought who are more liberal toward
the Negro than the school to which
Vardaman, Thos. j. Heffing and
Tiers belonged and we think thai
the school of liberal thought amon9
whites must increase if the south is
to move up from where it now stands
It has been often said in referring
to the south that "this is a white
mans country" 7 think if we var
