L.C.H. ). Grad
Gives Unusual
Address

Commencement at LCHS was
held on Friday evening before a
well filled auditorium. Professor
Coleman of the University gave an
address on Education in War
Times" for both young and old, en-
phasizing the need of older people
preparing themselves for a lasting
peace by stimulating global think
ing by means of radio and newspa-
per while the youth of near draft
age should be educated for fighting
the enemy as their prime objective.
The high spot of the evening was
the valedictory address given by
David Greer, son of the Rev. and
Mrs. w. L. Greer, pastor of the
Church of God. David chose, as he
stated, IAN unusual subject for his
address but everyone present was
not only interested but very proud
of this unusual boy who had the
material within him to create this
address and the courage of his con-
visions to give it. The central
theme of the address follows.
We are fighting for democracy
and the many things for which it
stands-freedom of speech, free
dom Of the press, and FREEDOM OF
RELIGION. Our ancestors, the Pill
grims, braved their way across the
stormy Atlantic, fought disease and
starvation, and hewed homes for
themselves out Of the wilderness in
order to worship in peace without
having to start at every little sound
because of the ever-present threat
that their meeting might suddenly
be interrupted by the Kings of
ficials.
Freedom of religion is one of the
basic principles of democracy, but,
| ask you, what good is freedom of
religion If we don't use it? A very
large percentage of our population
do not attend church. 1t is pretty
hard to call ourselves a Christian
nation when about the only things
not rationed are tobacco and liquor,
when the delinquency is increasing
at an alarming rate in our large
cities, when our crime record is the
largest in the world.
Fellow citizens, we have a bat
tie to fight right here at home.
These things are undermining our
strength as a nation and we must
overcome them. Delinquency and
youth problems must be overcome
NOT by the schools, or by the po-
lice-but in the home. Let's get
busy and stamp out this menace to
our nation.
Alcohol and athletics definitely
do not mix. You can't 20 out on
the football field three sheets in
the wind and expect to play a
bang-up game. To do your best
you must be at your best War is
merely a game on a larger scale
and in a different form. Therefore,
to pit your skill and knowledge
against crafty enemy, you must
be on your toes. Now, more than
ever before, we must be mentally
and physically alert If we intend to
win this war.
Friends, | have heard it said,
God is on our side How can God
be on our side unless we are on
Gods side?'

APPEAL FOR SCRAP FROM

ing a special appeal for scrap iron

Marion Rogers Makes
Statement To Voters
Of Beat Two
To The Voters of Supervisors District
No. 2 of Holmes County:

To The Voters of Supervisors District
No. 2 of Holmes County:
/ have served as Supervisor of Dis
trict No. 2 of Holmes County for APP
proximately eight years. 1t has been
my ambition to reduce the burden of
taxation and at the same time to pro-
vide all-weather roads for all the people
of the District. During that period of
time 27,446 yards of gravel have been
placed on the dirt roads. More than
fifty per cent of these roads are now
graveled. By the exercise of rigid
economy it has been possible to main
tain the roads without the levy of any
advalorem taxes for maintenance. All
outstanding road bonds have been paid.
The tax rate for the District has been
materially reduced. The fact that you
lave enjoyed the benefit of homestead
exemptions in no wise affects the tax
rate. Under the provisions of the home
stead exemption law the State of Mis-
sissippi pays a portion of the tax levied
against your homestead. This cannot
and does not affect the rate of tax
alton.
/ am proud of my record. 1t is my
ambition to complete the program that
l laid out for District No. 2. / solicit
your support and influence in order
that | may finish the work | have
started.
