Boys Is and 10 Years
Old Register June 80
Survey Of Young
Monpower Made
This Month

1t. Colonel Lawrence w. Long,
State Director of Selective Service,
today stated, "It is most important
that each new registrant of the Fifth
Registration to be held throughout
the Nation and the State of Mis-
sissippi on Tuesday, June 80, 1912.
between the hours of 700 am. and
900 pm. have his correct home resi-
dence address placed on Line 2 OF
the Registration Card" Colonel Long
stated that the address given and
placed on Line 2 Of the Registration
Card forever determines the juris-
diction Of the Local Board ove the
registrant or, in other words, the
Beard which has jurisdiction over
the area described in the address
placed on Line 2 Of the Card will
forever hold the Registration Card
Of the registrant.
The Fifth Registration on June
80 1912, will be for those men born
on or after January 1, 1912, and on
or before June 80, 1924. Stating it
another way, every male person who
has attained the eighteenth or the
nineteenth anniversary Of the day OF
his birth on or before June 80, 1912,
or the twentieth anniversary Of the
day of his birth after December 81,
1941, and on or before June 30,
1912, and has not heretofore been
registered under the Selective Train
ing and Service Act of 1910, as
amended, and the EQUATIONS pre-
scrioed Hereunder, shall register on
June 80, 1912.
1t is also important thaS each
registrant keep with him at all times
his Registration Certificate, which is
evidence Of his registration and given
him as a certificate at the time
he registered by the Registrar. 1t is
most likely that in the near future
a systematic and thorough check will
be made to see that every man who
should hold a Registration Certificate
has one in his possession.
The places of registration for Hol-
mes County Local Board No. n are
as follows:
West, West School, D. D. David

Monk" Campbell
Hue Job
Goodman Coach
Goes to Ohio for
Defense Job

Durant's on J. r. monk" Camp
bell, who served as head football
mentor at Holmes Junior College
during the 194O-4i and 1941-42 sea-
sons, has resigned his position amid
much sorrow on the part of his
numerous friends and will leave his
home town within a few days for
a point in Ohio where he will train
to be a welder.
The local resident piloted the
Goodman footballers to 4 wins, 4
victories and / tie in his first sea-
son rs tutor and then the Bulldogs,
crowded with numerous newcomers
on the squad, faiasd to equal their
mark Of the 1880 canpafgn bss Mo-
ming only 2 contests, dropping 6 and
tying / at the close Of the past year
Coaching the baseball group in 1941,
Campbell led the Bulldogs to three
victories in a season that consisted
of very few tits.
He was born and reared in Hol-
mes county. He is q native of Durant
and attended high school here. He
was graduated from the Charleston,
Miss, High School. Entering the
University of Alabama, he soon be-
anne famous as a ball carrier and
his maneuvering and ball-carrying
ability will probably never be eclip-
sed. Receiving his training from Wal
lace Wade, one of the greatest men
tors in the game, his deeds were all
the more brilliant.
In the Rose Bowl classic of 1891,
which Alabama won from Washing
ton State, "a to D., the monicker OF
Campbell stood out like a sore
thumb. The shifty and h~ard-running
spinner back was simply unstoppable.
For two years he was mentioned on
All-America selections as quarter
back, and during the Tournament OF
Roses tilt he was acclaimed by many
as one of the greatest backs ever
to perform on the coast. He was al
so a member of the Alabama relay
team.
For three years he served as as
sistant backfield coach at the UNI
versity of Kentucky. He was men
tor at the Albertville, Ala, High
School for four years and the teams
produced there enjoyed unusual
success.

Grcde Crossing Accidents
Delay Movement Of
Defense Materials

A recent survey by the Safety
Section of the association of Am
eIican Railroads shows an average
If 3S trains q day, or 1877 trains
a month are delayed a total of %
hours a day or 660 hours a month
by highway railroad grade crossing
accidents. In 1941 there were 1920
grade crossing accidents and the &C
cidents are on the increase, pro-
badly due to the running of more
trains and to the c~arelessness OF
motorists.
In the number of accidents, the
hour of IL pm. to midnight proved
to be the time of greatest frequency,
but fatalities were greatest between
s pm. and 6 pm.
Saturday was the day of greatest
accident frequency.
"A national emergency exists and
our beloved America needs all its
man power, train facilities, trucks
and automobiles.
Life can not be restored, in most
cases, damaged equipment can not
be replaced, and no n can deter
mine the results that may occur by
reason of the delay to important de-
tense materials and the movement
of troop trains.
Every effort is being made by
the railroads to expedite the move
ment of men and materials and 9
little more caution on the part OF
the automobile drivers will pay big

The army camp at Grenada now
In the process of construction is a
beehive of activity. More workers
are coming in daily. It is evident
that everything in q sixty-mile rad
ius is going to be needed to take care
of the housing needs of the workers.
The camp is really at Duck Hill and
only about As miles from Durant.
The towns of Grenada and Winona
will get most of the overflow. Du-
rant will get some Of it if we have
any available room.
Reports are that conditions in
Grenada are such that the towns
people at least some of them, are
treating the camp like a gold rush.
In short they have upped their prices
30 much in food and in rent that It
will take everything a worker can
make to live in the vicinity Of his
job.
/, There are always persons who will
profiteer on any situation. We ex-
pect there always will be. But the
spectacle of people renting five room
houses in Grenada for SIS q month
is disgusting when that rent comes
under the head Of national defense.
Workers are necessary to build i
camp. The c. imps are necessary or
WI wouldn't have any trained sold
iers. If we have not trained soldiers
our armies are conquered. Our peo-
pie perish.
So the citizens who profile rs be-
cause he is located near an army
camp and can get away with is is
no better then a rattlesnake.
We are saying some ling about
Grenada today because the same
thing might apply to Durant to-
morrow. Should such a situation
come about here we hope that our
citizens do not lose their heads or
their sense Of fair play. 1t is al
right to make a nice profit but there
is no necessity of playing Jesse
James.
Then there was the case of the
waitress in Grenada who served a
customer a coca-cola and said it was
hot when she served it. When the
customer asked for some ice to pu.
in the drink she said, "I1l have to
charge a nickle for the ice"
