Believe 1t Or Not

j. W. Brumfield had the sur
prise and pleasure recently OF
seeing the farm owned by his fa-
ther, and where he was born, fea-
tured in Ripley's Believe It Or
Not"
The farm referred TO in the
Ripley cartoon is Sunnyhill
Farm, between Magnolia and Ty-
lertown, which is owned by his
father, Frank Brumfield, and
where Joe was born and spent
his childhood and early adult
life.
Occasion for the Ripley refer
ence is the fact that the farm
has had six different addresses
without the house ever being
moved, its address at various
times having been Walkers
Bridge, Liggett, Barta, Magnolia,
McComb and Holmesville.

Smallpox Immunity
NOT Coined By One
Vaccination Alone

Warning that a single vaccina-
lion against smallpox does not
guarantee full protection for life,
DR.. Felix j. Underwood, execu-
tive officer. Mississippi State
Board of Health, explained that
full protection comes with vacci-
nation in infancy, at school age,
and at intervals during later life.
Physicians and health work.
ers have done a fine job in teach
ing the public the Importance of
the original vaccination against
smallpox" said he, but unfor-
tunately not enough emphasis
has been given to the following
has been given to the follow
through. Statistics indicate that
in about half of those VINO were
once vaccinated as children, pro-
lection has become entirely lost
at the age of 81. We must re-
wise our definition of a suscepti-
BILE person to include not only
persons VINO have never been
immunized, but those vaccina-
tons may no longer be in force.
Disclosing that 80 cases of
smallpox have occurred in Mis-
sissippi in the past two years.
the health officer stated that this
total gives evidence that the dis
ease is still alive.
"As long as there are cases of
smallpox and people who are
susceptible" DR.. Underwood con-
tinued, this disease can strike
and spread. Real immunity de-
ponds on repeated vaccination,
and real freedom from the dread
smallpox will come when the
public takes advantage of this
protection available to them
through their physician or coun-
ty health officer" The physician
added that a re-vaccination will
not take" unless it is needed;
If a person is not still immune, a
regular or modified take" will
occur.

on what goes on at home!
This was proven by a letter re-
ceived by the Pascagoula schools

now in New Guinea, congratulate
ing the students, many of whom
had been school mates of his be-
fore his graduation from the high
school in 1912, on the purchase
cf an ambulance plane during the
fourth war loan drive.
Although it took him a good
many weeks to receive the Chron-
icle-Star bearing news of the new
airship bought by the Pascagoula
schools, Pfc. Cook sat down inn
mediately to write his joy ove
the support given the fighting
forces by the school boys and
girls in Pascagoula.
Pfc. Cook is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. 1. Cook who reside
or John Henry Street. During
his years at the Pascagoula High
school, he was manager of the
football team for one year; bust
ness manager of the Glee Club
and of the Panther Pen, school
publication; vice-president of the
senior class; member of the Beta
Club, national honor society, and
the Camera Club; and he was
chosen to represent the school at

Following is his letter.
From the WildS of New Guinea.
Dear Mr.. Gill, Faculty and
Schoolmates,
l was very proud today as |
picked up the Chronicles Star
which had arrived while l was
at my duties. My first glance
rested upon the write-up that the
school had so CALAMITY won. l
was very proud and strutted
about my tent showing the boys
what we boys had backing us up.
Gee. it sure makes a fellow so far
away from home feel good to
read about such good deeds as
these.
For three months | worked with
this kind of plane and I assure
YOU that they have saved many
a boys life here in the iungles.
They have brought wounded
back from the most remote spots
TO 3 rear hospital where they
could receive the kind of medi-
cal attention that they needed.
Then these planes have saved
many q life by dropping supplies
to men who were in positions
here they couldn't get supplies
by other means on time. I know
oil one battle that was won by the
arrying of supplies to the place
where they We're most needed.
We are very proud of these
3lanes and the deeds that they

We boys over here and on the
1ther fronts of the world appre-
late what you are doing to help
n this struggle for democracy,
3eace and a better world to- live
n. These are the kind of deeds
nat inspire us to fight for our
COUNTRY, our families and those
If cur gallant Allies. With this
sind Of backing we cannot lose
and will not lose. | am sure that
Ibis plane will live up to the
name given it and will help in
making the winning of the war
become more real than just

May I speak for the boys over
here and myself IN sending our
appreciation to you, the faculty

l.. A. Andrus Announces
For Congress

Leon Asa Andrus of Queenstown,
Queen Anne's County, Maryland, has
filed with the Secretary of State at
Annapolis his certificate of candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for United States Representative in
the First District.
Mr.. Andrus who is a successful
dairy farmer and publisher of the
Queen Annes Record-Observer, said
his campaign for nomination would
be based upon the well-known and
often voiced political philosophers
of Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia,
whom he hopes to see nominated for
President at the Democratic National
Convention.
II believe our nation, after sur
viving crisis upon New Deal fabri-
Gated crisis, is now facing the great
est crisis of it's history" said Mr..
Andrus. "Only men of Senator Byrd's
character and experience can pick up
the soiled cards of the New Deal and
play them in such away that sharp
shooters at home and abroad won't
get away with the whole deck"
sit is high time all of us realized
that a Congressman should not be
a sectional grab-bag artist but man
who has the interests of the entire
country at heart. What do we gain
as nation when, for example, a
congressman grabs funds for an air.
port in his district which costs all
U. S. taxpayers too much money?
Some of us may think momentarily
the Shore has a smart congressman
if he can do that, but when we get
our tax bills, we learn to our horror
there are other grabbers in Wash
ington who know how to out-grab
anything the Shore can send to Con-
gress.
Reckless spending, reckless plan
ming, government of headless
horsemen galloping off in all direc-
tions. all are beading this country
into a mess for which not only our
grandchildren will have to pay, for
which our own children are already
paying, and for which we are already
paying and will continue to pay. We
live by hard thinking and hard work.
We must have men whose past ex-
perience shows they know little
about both"

Hay For Drought
Stricken Areas

The program under which dairy
men in the drought stricken areas OF
Virginia. West Virginia, Maryland
Delaware, North Carolina, and Penn
sylvania are purchasing hay subsi-
died by Commodity Credit Corpora
ton, will end February II, according
to notification received by DR.. T. X.
Wolfe, Richmond, Va, director OF
the hay program which Southern
States Cooperative is conducting for
CCC.
Orders from agencies that are
postmarked as late as midnight Feb.
II, can be accepted and placed for
shipment, DR.. Wolfe explained. He
urged that dairymen who need hay
for feeding prior to May Is place
their orders Immediately with any
farm supply dealer or farmer coop
erative association.
Since the last of September, when
the shipments started to daiymen,
10000 tons of hay have been ship
ped. This is as much as it was
thought dairymen in the drought sec
lions would need to buy. The dairy
men who have used the Government
hay have saved about three million
dollars based upon what they would
have had to pay for hay had there
been no Government program. South
ern States set as one of the condi
lions under which it would handle
the hay that it be permitted to re-
turn to the government any savings
it might be able to effect in handling
this program and that it absorb any
losses that might occur. The cost
of handling this hay was only 4G
cents ton, DR.. Wolfe estimates that
savings which will be returned tc
the Government will total about
$25O,000.
