Word Of Appreciation

The people of Durant continue
their kindness and interest in the
couple who happen to live in the
Methodist parsonage. / want to ex-
press my great appreciation of the
many kindnesses they extended while
l was in the hospital and since COM
ing home. ] would like to write a
personal note to every person who
sent me a card or a letter but that
is out of question. Therefore, l take
this method of expressing my deep
appreciation for every kindness ex-
tended, whether it came in the form
Of a card or something sen to the
parsonage. Our hearts are full of
Joy and appreciation for all these
things. We feel that we want to take
a new start in our work here. May
God bless each heart and home from
which has come the nameless evil
dences OF interest and love. May life
be fuller and richer for all of US.
You have certainly made the birds
sing along our pathway. Mrs. Lewis
shares with me these sentiments of
appreciation. The kindness extend
ed to US had no denominational
boundary line. l feel like everybody
in Durant belongs to the Methodist
church.

Are We Undernourished?

Since the enactment of the selectlve ser
vice system in this country seventeen million
young men between the ages of IL and 90
have registered. The Selective Service Is just
what the name implies. 1t aims to select the
best men, physically and mentally, IN the
country.
Authorities have been surprised and some
what alarmed at the large number OF re-
jections made on the basis of physical DIS
ability caused by actual ndernourlshment
Before the state board of health the other
day a young woman nutritionist from State
College said that a large percentage OF the
population of Mississippi Is undernourlsneo
because of lack of food. In most cases 100
low income is the cause but in large number
of cases undernourishment is because OF
ignorance in selecting the diet.
There is no reason why any farm family
in Mississippi should be undernourished. 1t
is true their income is extremely low, too
low. But any farmer worth his salt can
grow everything his family needs right at
home and have the best living in the land.
Too often, however, the farmer spends
what income he gets for flour, corn meal,
rice, sugar, syrup, potatoes, fat meat and
canned goods. If they would grow these
foods at nome they could spend their cash
income on clothing and educating their fami-
lies and making their homes more attractive.
Milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables are the
most important foods together with meats,
poultry and fish. The progressive farmer
can supply his needs and have some
left over to sell if he but will.
In a state like Mississippi where almost
every home has a back yard. big enough for
a garden there is no earthly excuse for a
man getting in line and having groceries
doled out to him. There is something fun
damentally wrong with one who does.

hibition laws is so great and grow
ing SO rapidly that in some parts of
the state there has been complete
abandonment of any effort to en-
force them.
Everything Judge Barbour said is
true as any citizen aware Of present
conditions knows. Persons who are
against repeal Of this law are evil
IDENTIFY not aware of the fact that
non-enforcement of the prohibition
laws has. a very definite effect on
the enforcement of all law. When
citizens hold one law in contempt
there is a breakdown in respect and
moral for all laws. 1t is hard to arrest
a person for infraction Of traffic
rules when bootleg establishments
r operating wide open.
Not only that out the example
set up by the elder generation is
appalling for young people. How
can the older folks expect their
children to grow up to be self
respecting law-abiding citizens when
they themselves get away with
everything short of murder if they
stand in" with proper authorities?
It's no wonder our people have no
more respect for the laws of God
and man than they do.

Independent Formers

Governor Johnson has proclaimed March
as Acres of Independence Enrolment
Month
"Acres Of Independence is a farm con-
test, sponsored by the Daily acknowledges,
Jackson morning newspaper, which opened
this month and will continue during 1941.
Deadline for entrance is May l, but all farm
families desiring to enter are asked to do so
as soon as possible
There is a division for landowners and
one for tenants. 1000 in cash prizes will
be given and tenants have as good chance TO
win a prize as landowners. Judging will be
on results obtained.
This contest should be of real interest to
every Mississippi farmer. It's main purpose
is to get the Mississippi farmer interested in
making the best living possible off his farm.
1t seeks to get state farm families to live at
home, grow their own food and feed for
their livestock, conserve and preserve their
soil and timber, and in short realize their
best heritage.
It is the earnest desire of this newspaper
to get as many farm families in this section
of the state to enter as possible. Enrolment
blanks are carried on page four of this news
paper. We ask our readers to read care1uliy
the rules of the contest and see if they do not
think it worth their while to enter.
No farmer will ever be independent untll
he follows the practices advocated in this,
ACRES of Independence" competition, whe-
ther he enters the contest or not.

clamation,
" WHEREAS, Mississippi is an agricultural

West Boys Beat Winona. Girl Lose
On Tuesday of last week the
West high school teams journeyed to
Winona, and came back with a
split Of the games.
The boys score was about even
al the half, but they forged ahead
in the final period, and came out
at the big end Of a 33 to II count.
Every player on the squad saw ac-
ton.
The Winona girls were too rangy
and fast for the local lassies, and
won by 10 points.
Both boys and girls teams drew
the strongest opponents of the region
in the opening games Of the tourna-
ment and lost.
The Durant boys beat the local
81 to IL while the girls put up a
lost half rally against Sails but
fell short Of a victory by Is points.
The score was 40 to 81.
These games wound up the season
for the locals. Both the basketball
and football teams enjoyed the
most successful season that they
have had. Next year with the loss
of only town men, Gelston and ARM

only Armstrong from the basketball
