passed away with the flight OF time
as the Tiger goes to press, but the
memory of it will forever be i'm
pressive when we think of the
names of two heroes whose birth
days occur in the month, Abraham
Lincoln and George Washington.
Many of the students of the Hill
Reynolds school learned more than
ever about these two statesmen,

If the Tiger was a betting char
acter she would be willing to bet
that the third grade class under
the supervision of Miss E. L. Pal
mer really celebrated Washington's
birthday in high February % not
only with a splendid program but
with delicious refreshment. No,
hasn't anyone told the Tiger this
for real but the Tiger did see some
indications that made her really
think this. Hats off to your chill
dren you always do things in high
style anyway.
The Tiger wishes to advise all
the constituents of the Hill-Rey-
mold schools, who wants to know
more about Holland to go in the
sixth grade room sponsored by
Mrs. A. Taylor and view that beau
tiful unit on Holland that has been
worked out by the students.

The Tiger said last week that

Louise said that the Tiger should
know better by now. 1t appears
that something happened some

honey the Tige rdoesn't know what
happened last Friday night but the
purpose of the Tiger is to try to
improve conduct on the school cam

course if department is not what
it should be off the school campus
it must be up to par on the campus,
so that's that.

sey. Mrs. Sallie Louie, corr. sec.
Forl ack of time, the afternoon
program was curtailed, to give way
to the governors speech. President
Holtzclaw introduced Mr.. Brown,
mead of the blind school and he in
turn introduced the Governor OF
mississippi, Hon. Thomas Bailey
who spoke from his heart to us
and we all were pleased and hap
Ply, for he gave a very practical
rural life talk, which will be last
ing IN the minds of hearts of every
person in the audience. Gov. Bailey
is very busy man and we GER
tainly thank him for taking his
time out from his busy life to ac-
cord us the grand privilege of list
ening to him. What he said, sank
deep into the hearts and minds of
all present.
The Boy Scouts of Hazlehurst,
attended the conference and assist
ed the students in ushering, hand
ling and making it comfortable and
pleasant for the visitors and all
present. They made very fine
appearance. This troop, is the first
to be organized in Copiah county,
Mr.. Joseph Oats is the scout mas
ter. We were thrilled to see the
conduct of these young boys from
Hazlehurst. I am sure Mr.. Shelly
Adams, one of the strong support
ers of the Boy Scout movement sat
with pride and a big chest to see
the boys doing so fine and the
parents of these boys will be proud
of hearing about them. At the
next session of the Farmers Con-
ference, the Girl Scouts of Halle
hurst will be present to do their
bit.

AUTO DRIVING DEVICE
BOON TO WOUNDED MEN

AutOmOtiVe engineers, anticipating the
need for some special mechanical device
to enable wounded war veterans to con-
tirue driving their cars, have developed
lust such an aid. Under comprehensive
demonstrations by wounded men them
selves. the device quite evidently has met
this need, at least for the great major
itv Of the injured veterans.
Thus has science and determination
stepped in to alter the entire outlook
Cor the mass of men who will return to
private life with what appeared first as
insurmOuntable problems to solve.
The device has been developed in step
with the rehabilitation treatment and
exercises in hospitals, especially IN con-
nectiOn with muscular exercises calcu-
lated to overcome physical handlcaps
The idea originated with American So
ciety Of Motor Vehicle Administrators
VIXEN technical committee Of the society
saw the need for the device and found
ready consent and cooperation coming
from the surgeon general of the army.
II is not merely a device to enable the
veteran to enjoy himself. Under demon
strati0ns it has been shown that men with
artificial arms and legs can manipulate
anv class of motor vehicle, car or truck
who had a dark outlook in getting on in
the world has at his command a means
of earning a living and be independent.
The new gadget supplements automatic
clutches, drives and transmissions. Vet
erans who have lost their legs may OPP
crate vehicles by hand, or if they have
lost their arms, driving is accomplished
bv use Of their feet. The new set-up is
attachable and does not do away with
the regular manipulation gears and shifts
50 the vehicle is available at the same
time for those without the handicaps.
Here is one of the many things under
way and already accomplished to see
that injuries received in the war shall not
become permanent handicaps and which
permit these men to move back into nor
nal ways with little interruption. And
they are helping these war heroes to re-
tain their self respect by giving them the
independence they enjoyed before their
sacrifices brought on physical handicaps.

Suicide Attack
Hit Carrier;
Loss Held Low

WASHINGTON. Aug 20. CUPI -
The escort carrier S anga anon
which has seen service from North
Africa to Okinawa. was knocked
out Of action by a japanese suicide
plane, the navy has revealed.
The converted tanker one of the
first OF the navy's baby flattOps. "
suffered casualties OF u dead. l3
missing and l8 wounded. She was
swept by raging fires for five hours.
The action took place off Ktrama
RettO. near OkinaWa. at 1888 p. n.
on May T. Twelve japanese planes
came in to attack the small carrier.
Nine were shot down by marine
Corsairs. a 10th fled from the Cor
sairs The 1lth was shot down by
the ships guns, but the last one got
through to crash the center OF the
flight deck
The enemy plot had dropped his
American craft.
For five hours, the SangamOn
burned, for five hours the crew
fought fire without communications.
sometimes without control Of the
ship and sometimes without water
pressure They won despite the
fact that the fire divided the ship
in two, making it impossible for
those in the forward position to
reach those in the after part.
Capt. A. L. Malstrom, Alameda,
Calf, and Tacoma, Washington,
skipper of the ship, said the low
loss of life resulted from a previous
ly prepared plan whereby crew
members in the hangar deck should
Immediately evacuate the area when
ships guns started firing.

er became the SangamOn on August
25, 1912, after six months at the

and carries a tanker's fuel load be
meath her oil deck Her 20 knots
make her faster than the standard

She is now being repaired at the

The job will probably take several
months.

A MARSHAL OF FRANCE
AND A TRAGEDY

jury Of his peers has convicted Mar
snail PHILIPPE Petain, one time idol of
France, hero Of Verdun, of the high crime
OF treason. And the 90-year old citizen
must end his days in a prison cell, shut
off from kindred and people. Follow
ing the jury's recommendation, PrOvi-
slonal President de Gaulle commuted the
verdict of death to life Imprisonment.
Thus has another chapter in NaZi ag
gression been closed Unlike Laval for
mer premier who faces the same fate
Petain's trouble started when Germany
decided to invade France. Laval will be
tried for trucking with the Naxis long
before invasion.
Petain's only defense was that all his
actions were aimed "to do the best he
could for his country" He could not,
however, refute the statements accred-
tied to him in which he favored victory
for the Nazs Nor could he clear his
record after the campaign started III
North Africa. For that matter, others are
similarly situated. Even de Gaulle .was
Of no great help to the Allies in that per-
i0d nor, of greater Importance, in the
Allied invasion Of France itself.
The trial brought out, or undertook to
show. that Petain was not the real hero
Of Verdun that he was ready to quit
and that Foch and Clemenceau saved
the day However, he still is the hero OF
Nerdun.
The world will laud de Gaulle for his
act Of Communication. 1t is doubtful If Pc
tain will thank him.

LIFTING PRICE CONTROL
New York TimeS)


Price policy for the reconversion and
transition period may be divided into
two separate phases: CD determination
of prices of goods out Of production dur
ing the war or not produced by the re-
converting company and (Z) the ellmlna-
tion Of wartime price controls. The Of
flee of Economic Sterilization and OPA
have now announced a program to elm
mate some price controls. OES has au
thorized the Price Administrator to sus-
pend price ceilings whenever in his
Judgment such action will not result in
an increase in prices above the general
level of existing ceilings for the COM
modify" The Sterilization Director must
be given five days notice of any action
to lift such ceilings.
The assumption implicit in the author
iZatiOn to remove price control only when
prices will not rise and providing for
their reimposition if prices rise or
threaten to rise above the level Of the pre-
existing ceilings" is that the wartime
price is the right price. There is no basis
for this assumption. Conditions have
changed so markedly since many of these
prices were set that in a number Of cases
they have little relationship to economic
realities. The prices are highly abnormal
ores. To say that controls cannot be
lifted unless these abnormal price levels
are continued is merely another way of
saying that the area of de-contrOl will
be limited. 1t is price increases which will
have spiraling effect rather than price
increases per Sc which provide the danger
in de-cOntrOl actions at this time.
Price ceilings also may be removed for
commodities which meet the following
tests that they do mot enter signifi-
cantly into the cost Of living or into busi-
ness cOsts,' that the control "involves
administrative difficulties dispropOrtion-
ate in relation to the effectiveness of the
control or contribution to stabiliZation'
and that the elimination of control will
not divert materials, manpOWer or facili-
ties away from war production 1t ap-
pears from the directive that all three
conditions must be satisfied before price
control can be eliminated.
The extent to which controls will be
lifted will depend upon how the Price
Administrator defines insignificant and
nOn-essential commodities. If they are
defined narrowly, controls will be re
moved from very few items. If, on the
other hand, liberal Interpretation is
adopted, the area of price control can
be significantly contracted, thus enabling
the agency to do more effective job in
connection with more important products.
The main justification advanced for the
wartime control over unimportant prod
ucts was the fear that free prices would
result in a diversion of resources away
from the war effort. AS war cutbacks
mount, manpower and materials are be-
ing released in increasingly large guam
titles and the danger Of such diver
sion is steadily decreasing. A liberal in
depreciation Of what constitutes a non
essential or insignificant product is
therefore desirable.
