NEW HAVEN ROAD
 BONDHOLDERS ACT
They Object to Including Old Colony Railway in
 Reorganization

New Haven, Conn, June S-(Up) "A large block of bondholders was opposed to including the Old Colony railroad in the reorganization plan of the New York, New Haven @ Hartford Railroad system.
 The old Colony was incorporated in the reorganization under c plan offered by the Interstate Commerce commission. Opposition was based on contentious the line heretofore had been q leased extension and that it had bene operating ct an annual S2,o0o,oO0 deficit.
 Under the 100 plan Old Colony creditors would get approximately 9i6000,000 for relinquishing title to the properties and in addition would be relieved of prior lien, also involving the Boston Sc Provi- dence railroad, amounting to about Si0O0o,o0o.
 The Bankers Trust company of New York, the Irving Trust conn pany of New York and bondholders of the New York, Westchester & Boston railroad, characterized the TOO proposal as unfair and illegal"
 Edward s. 8. Sunderland, New York, counsel for i4 bondholding in- suranee companies, declared the plan would require New Haven creditors to "subsldize the heavy an- nual deficits" of the Old Colony, which were lone of the major causes of the New Haven's bankruptcy"
 Favoring the incorporation was Fred N. Oliver, New York, appear ing for Q group of Mutual Savings banks which, he said, was anxious to put an end to reorganization pro- ceedings which started more than live years ago.
 "It Is apparent the plan can't satisfy everyone" said Oliver, "and for that reason the conflicting groups among the Mutual Savings banks have agreed to submerge their individual views"
 The discussion was c part of 6 hearing held before Federal Judge Carroll 0. Hincks to determine whether the ICC plan should be adopted. Other views were to be presented during the week.

QUEBEC BACKING BRITAIN FULLY
Canada Completely United With All Her French to
 Fight for England

Boston, June 3s-tUP)-Mayor Adllemer Raynault of Montreal Cue., believes Canada Ia . united dominion and that It's people are do- ing oil possible to aid Great Bri- tain's war effort.
 Raynault, here as principal guest of the Ancient and Honorable Ar. tillery company of Massachusetts at ats 303d anniversary, said last night at Q banquet that Quebec, whose population Is 6s per cent French, Is second to no Canadian province in helping England.
 Quebec, the inayoor said, was the first of alfl Canadian provinces to complete recruiting at the beginning of the war. He added that three of the province'S eight infantry bat talions were completely French.
 "There have been strikes in Gam ada since the war started" he said, "but not one of them has occurred in Quebec. There Is no discussion there about what should be done in the war itself They follow the gov. ernment like soldiers"

 IN STAMPS
Religion in Stomps as Fovorite Speciality

iR RELIGIOUS collections provide
 one of philately's most inter. esting specialties. The collector who selects this field will find hundreds of items to fill his al. buns.
 Brazil's statue of "Christ of the Resurrection" which overlooks Ithe harbor of Rio de Janeiro, is pictured on the stamp above. The stamp commemorates the visit toI Brazil of Cardinal Pacelli, now Pope Plus XII.
 Almost every faith has found a place in philately. Hundreds of stamps picture places of worship. The life story of Christ may be 4raced alphabetically.
 Roger Williams, William Penn, and Father Marquette are found on U. S. issues. Saints of Christian and Greek Orthodox sects have provided designs for stamps. Hungary's Protestant issue is a noteworthy series. Japan honors Shintoists, Buddhists; Arabia re- produces part of the Mohammedan Koran.
 Unusual items for these collec- sions include q Viking sacrificing 10 Thor, on Iceland's issue, the Supreme God of the Nazcas, from Peru, Thailand's "Garuda" air- mail, Mexico's issues honoring ancient Aztec gods.

Att Crossett, Arkansas, near the
Louisiana State line, we found the
Crossett Lumber Company operat-
ing a lumber, pulp, and chemical
plant, using timber from several
thousand acres of land owned by the
company. This company does selec-
tive cutting, leaving at all times
growing timber on the land. They
say that an average acre Of land
should yield 800 board feet per
year.
Someone told US that this company
uses everything produced by a tree
even to the bark which used by the
dogs of the community in freeing
coons. On one 1910 acre piece of
timber this company estimated that
it was growing 2745 board feet ev-
cry "a hours. If expressed in a
board 3" wide it would reach three
miles growth in "a hours. At the
present price of timber this acreage
is paying $3.50 per day or 32c per
hour, "a hours per day, 365 days in
the year.
This plot of timber land keeps a
four mar saw crew busy all Of the
time and also keeps one man haul
ing timber continuously.
Down at Urania, Louisiana, we
were permitted to visit a forestry
experiment station which is being
managed by Professor H. H. Chap
man Of Yale University. Every
summer students taking forestry at
Yale + required to take three
months work at this experiment sta
ton. Professor Chapman took up
a greet deal of time with US, giving
a lot Of technical information. He
said that four good seed trees per
acre should produce 10000 seed
which would scatter over an area 400
feet from the trees. From thirty to
fifty thousand plants usually ger-
inmate but about one out OF ten
survive, has been the record at this
station where fire was controlled.
One plot of old field pines was
shown to us that had $50 trees per
acre and had grown 40 cords of
pulp wood per acre at 81 years of
age. He says that their timber makes
a 81 diameter increase in size every
ten years.
The points stressed first, last and
always by foresters we contacted was
to control fires if We expect to sue
coed in growing timber profitably.

not pass fourth grade reading and
writing tests will be declared unfit
for military duty. Headquarters al
so advised local boards to defer

Flat Feet In Army

Much has been said about the large
number of men being rejected for service
in the army because of flat feet.
Due to the fact that about 20 per cent
of the men who are accept for service go
into non-combative lines of service such as
military police, mess duty, clerical work and
the like, it does look like these otherwise
sound physically men would be accepted for
one years service. These men with flat
feet and other such ailments could take over
kitchen details and the like.
This would release approximately 20
per cent more men in service for actual train
ing and fighting.
If what our selective service authorities
say is true about the number of reflections
it is not going to be very long dntil we go
through the list of available men.
There is no reason why a man with flat
feet can't serve his country just as well i'll
one capacity as another can by fighting.

John M. Howord

1t is sad to record the death of those we
love.
In the passing of Mr.. John NJ. Howard
Monday this community lost one of its lead
ing and best loved citizens. Though he had
been practically confined to his HON for
more than two years Mr.. Howard cortinued
to conduct his business affairs up until just
a few weeks before his death. His was the
kind of spirit that carried on against any and
all odds.
His contribution to the life Of this COM
munity cannot properly be estimated. He
was one of its pioneer citizens and remained
one of it's staunchest boosters until the end
of his days. He wa the kind of citizen upon
which substantial communities are founded
-. always eager and willing to shoulder his
share and more, if necessary, of the burdens
to be borne.
A gentleman of the highest character.
a wonderful husband and father, a friend
to an men he will be mourned by a host
of friends wherever he was known.
His passing is a great loss to Durant.
His place in our hearts will never be filled.

Physical Reflections Alarming

Examination of registrants under the
s~elective service act gives an interesting it
not amazing picture of the health of men in
these age groups in Mississippi.
There have been 14,460 white men and
1857 colored men tested for syphilis, a
test which is a part of the physical m
ton given a potential soldier. Out of the
number examined there were Alp white and
4,577 colored having proven syphilis. This
is 2.8 per cent of the white and 29.5 per cent
of the colored. The average for the total is
sc or one in every six Of approximately
3 10000.
During the period December l, 1910 to
April l, 1941, 1906 registrants were ex-
amined by local board physicians with the
following results: 1922. or Sc per cent, ply
sically fit; 1854 or 90 per cent, fit limited
service; and 1890, or "a per cent, d~isquali-
fled. The main cause for deferment or re-
lection was the extremities in a total of
$3.50, including flat feet. Genito-urinary
diseases ranked second with i .180.
OF 1858 Mississippi selectees sent for
induction in the same, period december 1.
1910 to April /, l941), medical examiners
at Camp Shelby rejected 1908 after these
had been passed by local board examiners.
This represents approximately 27.5 per cent
reflections. Of the 1908 rejected, 752, or
46.7 per cent, of all such reflections were for
flat feet alone. z
These facts should be made known to
every citizen and something should be done
about it. The establishment of clinics
throughout the state to combat venereal dis.
ease has been progressing steadily for about
two years. This move needs to be broadened
Mississippi.
Our state and county health depart
ments have been giving us figures on social
disease for years and the public has dis
missed them lightly more or less. Since, the
enactment of ~selective service widespread re-
~jections due to physical disabilities have
caused considerable comment in this state.
Army officials have said theygare very much
concerned over it.
Regardless of how mechanical our ar
mics become we know that we have to have
perfect physical specimens to operate them.
Only a real man can stand up under the
strain of modern war.
Doctors in Holmes county who have OF
posed the establishment of these clinics in
this county can show their mettle by taking
the lead now in setting up the clinics and
seeing to it that disease is stamped out here.
Three such clinics are operating in parts of
the county where the doctors cooperate.
1t is time Durant, Lexington and all
other communities have them.

perfection compared to Florida's
Senator Pepper, warmonger deluxe.
We knew that there have been
many shady deals in which the ques-
ton mark was raised against Pep
per. But not until this week did
we see him accused in print of
graft" in connection with the de-
tense contracts.
George Morris in his excellent
Washington column tells about a 81
600, 000-gallon asphalt contract
which was not awarded until April
&c, even though bids were opened
on March 80. The delay was due TO
pressure of Pepper to give the con
tract to another company, Pan-Am-
ericap Oil Company, even though
their bid was $4,000 higher than
low bidder. The PanAmerican
Company bid nine cents a gallon on
that contract even though '.,ey had
bid 6 cents a gallon in Alabama for
the same material. The secret to
this was evident. Pan-American re-
tanned a lawyer in Florida with
whose firm Pepper was formerly as
sociated.
Senator Pepper is the fellow who
talks about the present emergency
being SO great; he pounds his fists
on the table and says that America
will shed it's blood to deliver the
goods to England and we will send
our men. to help Englishmen pro-
tect their homes and democracy.
Who is going to protect the
United States from such vultures as
Pepper? ?
The group of women who hanged
Pepper in effigy back several months
ago in Washington knew what they
were doing. They called themselves
the mothers of America"
We wish that the mothers of AM
erica and all others who want to
keep this country free of entangling
alliances and bloodshed would de-
mand and make their demands
heard that men like Pepper be ex-
posed for what they are to every
man., woman and child in the United
States.
Instead of our Congress showing
greater speed to get US into this
war they should spend more time
examining activities of the oppor-
tunists. profiteers and grafters, who
are urging us toward war.
Evidently Senator Pepper cares
for nothing but his personal greed,
what he himself will get out of the
defense program. He seems to care
nothing for bankrupting the govern
ment or shedding the blood of our
nation.
How many more of those persons
Yelling for war have personal greed
and profit as their motives?
We should know the answer.
