Sooner or later, men who operate in the Sec
ond way are sure to get themselves and the
whole business into difficulties. The more
i~rresponsibly they operate; the more certain
they are to cause the passage OF regulatory
ordinances and to arouse the city police and
other authorities to a campaign OF action.
Therefore, in the taxi business as in all
others, those who sew the wind, reap the
whirl-wind. And the industry will have only
its own members to blame if this should
happen.
There are many reliable and responsible
operators in town. but there are an in
creasing number of outlaw operators who
apparently have neither telephone. perma-
nent stand. liability insurance. and prob
ably not a privilege license. There is an
ordinance requiring these minimum and
reasonable qualifications. as a measure of
protecting the public. But the actual evil
dence that meets the eye seems to be that
the number of outlaw operators is incraas-
ing week by week. The time has come for
the police to start checking UP again on
the qualifications of the assorted cabs that
are swarming over the streets.
Even more serious, in our opinion, are the
many instances of reckless driving and speed
ing on the part of cab drivers. We are not
making a blanket charge here. There are
many safe and steady drivers. for we ride
with them. But we lave also ridden with
others who were a menace to life and limb.
The speeding on streets like Lincoln and
Market has become particularly bad. Some
of these drivers ought to be doing anything
but driving a cab. They are tempermentally
unfit for it.
TIL responsible cab drivers, operators and
companies can save themselves a lot of grief
and trouble by letting such drivers know
that they are hurting the whole business.
While on the subject of safety and traffic,
we should like to point out to the housing
project authorities that, one by one, most o.
the stop signs have disappeared in Eastlawn
There ought to be stop markers at all MAR
intersections of paved streets. There are
number of dangerous corners in the proiec
because of this condition Polk street for ar
example makes for relatively dangerou,
driving, since many paved streets intersec
it without stop signs.

porfant tools and other objects
which shed light on the life
and habits Of the tribesmen
whose vanished members built
up THO pile over many genera
lions.
The dredges of some she'll and
building materials contractor had
undoubtedly turned up one of
these middens along the lake
shore; the shells had been sold
to road building contractors, who
had hauled them ten miles in
land to surface the Slidell road.
And thus we had stumbled by
accident on a collection of brok-
en- pottery that had once been
common cooking utensils in the
hands of a race that had inhabit-
cd Il land long ago.
II sounds like a trivial evper-
fence as l write ii down. But
the excitement of it, the mystery
of it, the sudden insight into
mankind's paradox of timeless-
ness and fitful mortality, these
things were great and unforget-
table discoveries in our own
lives. We spent manv days there
after raking through the shells
on the road. Occasionally we
found arrowheads and other i'm
plements. II made the old Choc-
taw fishermen come alive for
us, brought them out of their
former textbook flatness in our
minds and peopled the swamps
and pine forests again with red
skinned human beings-with In
dian people, rather than savages.
We thought of them now in a
a different wav- not as creep
ING and screaming marauders of
the Wild West movies, but as
people who lived in communities
and married and had children
lust as did our own people. who
struggled for food. for shelter,
for clothing. who fished and till
ed the soil. and manufactured
pots, and who colored them with
designs. Those painstaking de-
corations in no way increased the
usefulness of the pot. And ii was
these designs more than any
thing else which gave US a sense
of understanding and communi-
cation with the long-dead In
dams. They too desired to give
meaning and dignity to human
existence through the medium of
their arts. And this was a quail
itv of human beings. and not
of beasts. The Indians, we knew,
had migrated many centuries
ago from Asia our own white
skinned race came centuries la

our Bov Scout handbooks, ana
in the camp museum" there
were pieces of il that had been
found in the old sites of the
Choctaw villages along the shor-
es of Lake Pontchartrain.
We fell to our knees and be-
gan TO dig for other pieces, and
found to onr surprise that they
We're abundant. Before long we
had handsful, pieces of many
shapes and textures and design,
and some of them half as large
as the hand. Occasionally we
found the lip or handle of a vase.
As our ewes became familiar with
their aspect. we could spot the
smallest fragments lying in the
shells as we ran ahead in ex-
element toward the town.
The whole road, from the
camp to the town, contained
traces of Indian pottery. 1t was
an exciting and mysterious thing
to be able to dig through any
likely pile of shells along the
roadside and uncover fragments
Of vases that represented the
handicraft of some Indian who
had lived and died in this Louis
lana country centuries before we
had been born. perhaps even be-
fore the coming OF white men
to the Western Hemisphere.
The presence of such an
abundance of pottery along a
woll.traveled road was a mYs-
terry to US for a long time.
Finally we remembered that
there was a large burial mound
on the site of an old Choc-
taw village on the lake shore
ten miles away. There was a
bank of shells where the viii

waste and residue of ceniur,

States Income
Must Increase,
Roiarians Told

i rL
= Mississippi must increase her
per capita income, Moss Point
Rotarians were told yesterday by
Harry w. Clark, New Industries
Representative of the Mississippi
Power Company, who gave in
naturalization as the only an
swer to the states bottom-rung
economy.
Listing ample labor as the
states chief asset industrially,
Mr.. Clark said that agriculture
leaders themselves admitted that
farming was not the answer to
the problem and will not give the
state what it needs in the way of
a boosted income.
He said that our income was
the lowest as a result of our
large negro population and insist
ed that this race must be con-
sidered in the economic struct-
ure of the state and their earn
ing power raised for the benefit
Of the state as a whole.
There are people with capital
in coast hotels now, looking for
a place in this state to establish
industries, Mr.. Clark says. He
divided them into three groups,
the casual "look-around-ers'', the
ones looking for spots for essen
tial industries to fill immediate
community needs; and the bust
nesses that would be interested
if subsidies in the form of land
or buildings we're offered.
In the second category, he said
that Moss Point could use a brick
kiln at the present time and the
output could be absorbed in the
immediate area. He commended
also the efforts to establish re-
fineries here for the states new
born oil industry.
The speaker was introduced by
w. B. Herring, President of the
Pascagoula-Mos Point Bank and
the meeting was presided over in
the absence of President Claude
Blanchard by Vice. President Ed
ward A. Khayat.

Once as a boy we found some
fragments of Indian pottery on
a shell road in Louisiana that
led from a Boy Scout camp to
the town of Slidell. some three
miles distant. II was. on a Sat-
urday afternoon-a day on which
we were allowed to 60 into town
TO the movies--and a group of
us were walking down the road
ON n of those shimmering af-
ternoons in deep summer which
seem to be without beginning
or ending. Those of us who were
or that road that day are all long
since grown, and have scattered
to the four winds. Probably we
could pass on the streets today
and not recognize one another.
Yet l imagine that in mem
CRY, each n of us can still see
that timeless little band walking
down that road, skating dusty
white clam shells across the
fields: and in memory our faces
and voices are as they were at
the age of twelve or fourtecn;
the hot summer edor of a young
pine forest is in the air and the
white road stretches out ahead,
as though into eternity
We were idling along the way,
looking for heavy shells that were
good for throwing, when one Of
the boys picked up a curious
piece Of material in the loose
shells at the roadside. It was
a piece OF baked clay, grainv
IN texture and reddish in color,
and at first we thought il might
be come sort of hard rubber COM

RusoI Identification

Beneath the daily turmoil of politics, war
JUNIORS of war that has held the spotlight
for d decade now, social progress moves for
ward slowly along less exciting levels OF
daily life, and occasionally produces results
which seem to justify the hope that human
society has a chance after all. One such
evidence of progress in this area is the steady
growth of the Rural Identification move
ment under the leadership of the Singing
River Electric Power Association, a cooper
alive group operating under the REA. The
infringement of the association announces
this week the details of a plan, whose finan-
cling seems to be assured, which it is hoped
will make electricity available to every rural
home in Jackson, George and Green counties.
This is progress. We all know the character
building virtues of a hard life, of frontier
struggles, of man against nature. But we do
not hear so much about the dreariness and
barrenness that often goes along with such
a life. One of the hardest parts of life in re-
mote farm areas is the lack of electricity and
all the many wonders that the electrical age
makes possible. 1t is the rare farmer who
does not seek the identification of his place
above all other possible chronological i'm
p~rovements. Electricity means light, radios,
household appliances, ice, fans, and above
all, the warm and cheerful atmosphere of a
well-lighted home. 1t is good to know that
in the next few years this boon will be avail
able to all our people-many of whom are
now on a scale of existence almost as diff
cult-with the exception of automobiles and
a few other things-as it was fifty years ago.
Wars and turmoil may rage like a stormy
sea in this age; progress seeps in slowly like
the tide im~perceptably covering the marshes
and inlets.

There are few public or semi-public serv-

more or depends on more than a good taxi
cab system, especially at a time, and in a
