PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One of the most serious
indictments of present day Negro
leadership in Jackson was voiced
during conversation I had with
some fellows as / got around to
my favorite spots in search of
my Saturday night repast. Refer
ing to the meeting just had Friday
night up at the USO when more
than fifty of those who occupy
positions of leadership in the minds
OF the masses met with Lit. Col
Campbell c. Johnson and discussed
some most important phase of the
Selective Service system as it re-
lates TO the drafting of Negroes
for the armed services, following
which committee was named TO
present certain suggestions to the
Governor with respects to using
the ability of Negroes more direct
ly in connection with the Negro
problems presented to Selective
Service. One fellow said, Oh, well, /
heard about that committee you've
appointed, but you amt gonna do
nothing.
They wait until it's too long

Service Shows Results
New Industries Already Established with More ia,
Come in Postwar Era

Several new industries are now
in operation in Mississippi while
others are in the process of con-
struction, according to r. S. Nc
Farlane, Manager of Mississippi
Power e Light Company's Re-
search and Development Section.
At Morton an egg dehydrating
plant with capacity of 10000
dozen eggs daily is scheduled to
begin operation about October
LIST. This will be the first
dehydration plant in Mississippi
and is the possible forerunner of
extensive poultry development
Durant will shortly have a new
dress factory which will occupy
1000 SO. TT. building. r. D.
Sanders, owner of the new fac
tory, already has textile mills
in Mississippi that turn out a
million yards of cloth per week.
Part of this production that has
heretofore been shipped out of
Che State for dress manufacture
will be made into dresses at the
, Durant factory. The Research
and Development Section of Mis-
sissippi Power & Light Company
has worked with Mr.. Sanders on
this project, and a survey of the
Durant area reveals that some
400 girls will be available for
work.
AT McComb, Mr. Sanders has
purchased the Berthdale Tapestry
Mills building where he is now
operating yarn and chenille
cloth mill. The Chenille cloth
is cut into bath robes, bath mats,
and other items. Other dress
factories are being contemplated
as well as factories for the manu-
facture of rugs.

stated, "other industries Will

!: Natural Resources Tremendous
The natural resources of Mis-

out, sare.v tremendous. ). fFors the
year E-ending May 20,F*1942 Mis- /
sissippi produced approximately /
2,671, 352,167 board feet of lum-
Der from approximately 10000
900 acres of forest. The value
of lumber turned out by saw
mills and woodworking plants
in the State is approximately
SIS, 100000 per year. Concerted
efforts should be continued to
convert larger portion of forest
products into manufactured goods.
More plants should be built 10
produce paper, wall board, furni-
ture, radio cabinets, plastics, in
sulation material and many other
items. The value of these could
far exceed that of our cotton crop
and add millions of dollars of
wealth TO the state

sources, and certain clays and

Chief Cunningham said that he

ed on commercial scale. Two
major railroads traverse the state
with direct connections st New
Orleans, to the South; Chicago
and New York City. to the North: :,
Shreveport, to the West; and At
lanta to the East. Three other
intra and interstate rail systems
provide connections to adequately
serve any pat OF the common
wealth.
River ports on the Mississippi
River at Vicksburg, GreenYilla
and Natchez provide cheap river
transportation to New Orleans,
Chicago, st. Louis, and Cincin-
natl. An outlet to the sea and
transportation for foreign trade
is at the ports Of New Orlesns,
Gulfport and PascagouIa.
Labor is Adequate .
Another important factor In
securing new industries, Mr.. Nc
Farlane pointed out, is that OF
ali adequate supply of labor. Mis-
sissippi has an adequate labor
supply and the experience of Jm4ny
industries over a long periode OF
time proves that the averages his.
sissippian can be trained to per-
form skilled operations In Z u
short period OF time, and once
trained, produces at exceptional
ly high speed. On farms and In
small towns, the pattern OF living
is such that a majority Of peo-
pie in their daily tasks work With
tools and machinery. It is
natural that this background
should tend to make the average
Mississippian quick to master
skilled operations.

What will become of MissiS-
sippi's vast reservoir of human
energy, wonderful climate, pro-
ductive soil and natural re-
sources? The answer" Mr.. Nc
Farlane says, "lies in the pro-
gressive action which MISSISSIPPI
pi's leaders take in the future.
Industry is interested in the
South. If we are to expedite
that Southwark movement we
must cooperate in an effort to sell
industry and our own people on
the advantages of Mississippi
There are several organizations in
working towards that
end. Let us collect and correlate
the data we need, know our adj
eliminate our disad-
vantages, and go out to secure
new industry for the development
Of Mississippi and for the better
ment of its citizens.

before anything further is done
and then they'll decide that it's
too late to, do anything anyway.
Then, another to prove that point,
pointed to that most ambitious
meeting about two months ago
now, which was begun by the
Chamber of Commerce, when a
committee was appointed to study
the matter of joint meeting of
Negro and white leaders to discuss
the problem of Race Relations in
the city
What ever happened has now
grown cold and nothing else will
probably be done at all. What we
have here is an evidence of the
lose of confidence by the rank and
file in the ability of the Negro
leaders to lead in the right direc-
ton. And more than anything else
is the opinion among the rank and
file that the Negro leaders are
lacking in courage. The news about
all these meetings and proposals
get around, and to an expectant
people, to a people who feels the
need of direction and leadership,
the constant making of high sound
ing and magnificent proposals, only
to allow them to grow cold and
wither away, is as much a deterrent
TO the elevation of Negro morale
and spirit as some Of the happen
ings. which weigh upon their
morale and spirit.
The best way for the leaders to
gain the confidence of the rank
and file, confidence being the basis
upon which leadership must rest,
is to carry through some of the
high sounding and magnificent pro-
posals. And they will be watching
to see what becomes of this COM
mittee to see the Governor.
