nounced by the Governor. This body,
under the Craftsmanship of Colonel
Robinson, will project in Mississippi
the plan for civilian defense that
has been approved and directed by
the National Defense Commission
and the War Department.
Mr.. Robinson's background and
experience ~eminently qualify him for
the responsibilities of this emer-
gency undertaking. Born at Liberty,
Mississippi, in 1887, Mr.. Robinson
removed with his family to Centre
vile, where he has since resided.
Educational training was received
at Centreville High School, Millsaps
College and the Law School of the
University of Virginia.
He was married in 1910 to Miss
Ella Redhead of Centreville. Their
four daughters are Mrs. William
Hall and Mrs. w. c. Raspberry of
Shreveport, La; Mrs. Edwin White
of Lexington; and Miss Clara, a sen
ior of Belhaven College. Mrs. Hall

would be placed on the market un-
der the competitive bid plan until
the price of eggs fall below, saw,
l5e. when they would be placed in
cold storage and held for a more
profitable price. Final arrangements
