New Cooperative Cotton
Gins Lead In Form
Cooperotives

Among the new kinds OF coopsra-
tive enterprises, the coop cotton gin
heads the list, according to the Farm
Credit Administration. About 800, or
more than half of tire total, have been
organized in the past five or six years,
and in Mississippi the rate of organ
ization seems 20 be on the increase.
Frozen food locker pants as spe-
cial features of cold storage and ware
house plants represent another dis

big way,
SO popular have the tood lockers
proved that cold storage plants
throughout the country are rapidly in
stalling these food-saving devices. AS
the cotton South inevitably is forced
to adopt a more self-sufficing type
OF farming in the year ahead the cold
storage plant and food preservation
system are destined to play an in
creasingly important part.
The cooperative cotton gin repre-
sents another stop that cotton farm
ers will have to take to reduce the
cost o. processing their crop and to
put more money into their pockets.

Vundiyer Coils Attention
To Safety In Connection
School Transportation

As many of the schools will be OPP
next few weeks, we wish to call the
attention of the people the impor-
lance Of safety in connection with
our transportation program.
We will have this year approvi-
mately $500 school buses in the state
hauling approximately 10000 chill
dren each day. We have just complet-
ed training scaOol drivers - one at
Mississippi Southern College, at Hat
tiesburg, INC one at Mississippi
state College, at State College. In
both of these conferences, in addition
to other factors which so to make up
a good bus driver, safety and safety
precautions were stressed through
out.
There are two things that we wish
TO call to your attention at this time.
First. all school bus drivers are re-
quired to stop before crossing a rail
road crossing or highway intersec-
ton and proceed across only after it
has been determined if it is safe to
do so. The second thing we wish
to call to the attention of the peo-
pie is the regulation in he law with
-a.o1enoc 10 ,.-e tie C. S--,J gl-ss.
This provision is found il Chapter 200
of the Laws of 1888 which provides
that beginning the 1940-41 school SEES
sion all new school buses must be co
tipped with safety glass thu ough-
out; also all requirements in old bod
les must be with safety glass.
We wish to urge the citizens gen.
orally, as well as bus drivers, the i'm
poftance of observing all safety regu,
lations and precautions in the use o.
TIE highways. Every care possible
should be exercised to prevent acct
dents and to insure the safety of oui
many thousands of boys and girls or
their way to n from school.

power by which mankind may be
raised to greater heights, heights
from which come inspiration and
joy. Through the medium Of art
in centuries past many have been
enabled to dream dreams and see
visions.
There is neither inspiration nor
appeal in such works as these, select
ed to find permanent placement in
the auditorium of the Social Security
Building. To the contrary, they
press down the spirits which should
be lifted up. They make the future
very dark. If they have anything
to say, it is concerning the depths
to which the art of today has fallen,
and. tragically, at a time when the
world is in the greatest need of the
consolation and courage which art
at its best can give.
This being the case, there should
be immediate resort to remedy.
This is not. as many seem to sup
pose, modern art" aligned with
progress, but impoverished art evil
dencing retrogression. There Is
much modern art" which is fine,
and still opportunity for advance
and healthful change. When we call
this modern" we belittle our age.
The Measure Of Sculpture.
Alas, however. it is to a great
extent the wonder waking art of the
hour, the art which shocks, the art
which, while presumably exalting
the workingman. places him on a
level which he himself despises and
from which he would lift himself If
he could-the art which disregards
beauty, the beauty to be found in
nature and in the spirit of man,
and substitutes for it ugliness and
degredation-the art which we are
giving to the future, of which those
who come after us will be ashamed
What then is the measure Of
merit in sculpture? In the first
place. Elasticity, relation between
the subject and the mass from which
it has seemingly emerged; after
which come modelling, the sensitive
and knowing touch Of the hand
which gives life and feeling; the
distribution of light and shade, the
play Of shadow; beauty Of form anc
finally of line; the silhouette
rhythm and symmetry-in short
many elements brought with unity
into a perfect composition set apar'
in the last analysis by dignity anc
beauty.
There is no reason why all oul
art today should not attain to thi!
ideal, provided we have the gift
the courage and the inspiration
But there is also no reason why
We should accept spurious coin fol
the pure metal which rings true.
Mr.. Cronbach's ideas concerning
social security are all right, but
he has clothed them, it would seem
carelessly. which is the way Of the
weak rather than the strong.

dering a great service to the Ma.
ton in its patronage Of art. but

Sharp protest against failure OF
the Selective Service Act to exempt
physicians and dentists within the
draft age was expressed in state
ment made public today by repre-
sentatives of the Inferno Council OF
America and the Association of Med
ical Students after conference with
Army and Navy officers and the Ad-
visory Committee on Selective Serv-
ice.
Remedial legislation was suggest
ed, exempting or deferring service OF
graduate physicians and dentists
medical and dental students. The
representatives of the internes and
medical students contended that
"the present shortage of physicians
and internes will be aggravated to
the point of threatening to disrupt
medical services in the hospitals un-
less the steady supply of we'll
trained physicians and dentists is
guaranteed no interruption"
At Selective Service Headquarters,

cal students will be placed on a de-
ferred status for one year If they

The Selective Service law does not
exempt or defer the drafting OF
anyone on occupational grounds,
providing that local boards must de-
termine individually the cases Of
persons engaged in work considered
essential to the national defense,
and may recommend exemption on
this or other grounds.
A spokesman at Selective Service
Headquarters predicted that young
physicians and dentists would not
be called out, as matter Of policy.
unless they were commissioned as
medical officers, but explained that
under the law their status would
have to be determined individually
