Open Letter To
Parenf-Guardians
On Secret Societies
Dear Parent or Guardian:

Dear Parent or Guardian:
The Board Of Trustees of the
public schools of the Jackson Mis-
sissippi, Separate School School
District has given a great deal of
time, thought and study to the
effect of the membership of the
pupils attending the public schools
in secret social fraternities and
sororites and other secret social
societies, and has come to the con-
clusion that the membership of
pupils in such organizations is detri-
mental to the welfare and proper
functioning of the public school sys-
tenn in Jackson.
1t is entirely possible that the
membership of some children in
one of these organizations has not
been detrimental to them. The
Board Of Trustees, however, has
endeavored to view this matter not
from the effect that the membership
of these organizations has upon
the whole school program.
The Board of Trustees believes
that membership in these organiza-
tons is detrimental and has bad
effects on the entire school program.
The Board of Trustees is convinced
that if you had made the same
study that it has made, you would
have come to the same conclusion.
The action taken by the Board of
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1946-03-09

Trustees was for the sole purpose
of trying to improve your public
schools. The Board of Trustees, in
dividually and collectively, asks
your cooperation in this matter,
and requests you to cast aside your
personal feelings in the matter, and
to wor with the Board for what it
believes to be for the best interest
of the entire school system.
There is enclosed for your in
formation a copy of the Resolution
adopted by the Board of Trustees.
We earnestly solicit your coopera-
ton and help in the practical en-
forcement of this regulation to the
end that maximum benefits can
be received from the public schools
of Jackson.
Yours very truly,
BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
Jackson Separate School District,

LONDON TODAY

England suffered much during the war. Many blocks in the heart of the great city of London, com pletely razed by the Nazi "Luft- waffe," remain unrepaired. All parts of the city sustained scatter ed damage from the raids. They took much punishment bravely, and they are industriously setting about to repair their country.
 Perhaps it is partly Britain's proximity to continental trouble makers and the consequent disas- ter, although some of these trou- ble spots have been pawn as well

that the regime of the straits must constitute the petence of Turkey and the other Black Sea powers" namely Russia and her satellites, Bulgaria and Ro- mania-and that Turkey and the Soviet Union . should organize by joint the defense of the sras In it's recent note the Soviet government has, of course, added the implied threat that Turkey organizes military measures in the straits together with any non-Black Sea power" the Sovet Union would regard her safety as in jeopardy
 In the light of present conditions the Soviet govern ment is fully justified in asking for reconsideration of the Monreux convention That has already been agreed to by the Turkish government and by the western But when the Soviet maintains that the control and the defense of the straits solely matter for the Black Sea countries it thereby automatically de- nes the eworld principle upon which the United Ma tons has been founded we'll the principle of free dom of communications.
 Were the Soviet government to secure the rights it seeks from Turkey, the Black Sea would immediately become Russian Lake. The countries bordering upon would all be forced to under the Soviet system Any acquiescence the part of the United States in such demand would mean that this government ac- cepted a twO-wOrld system.
 The issue is therefore much more than merely the question of what constitutes Russas rghtful security Russia is entitled to seek legitimate safeguards in the straits But those safeguards only properly be estab lished and controlled by the United Nations if that or ganization is to survive
 The future of the United Nations and the decision as to whether are to have world two may well be determined by the final outcome of this dispute over the Dardanelles.

Rationing Slow Down

which Is proceeding slowly also.
 Rationing Slow-Down
 Most Britons feel that rationing of materials has slowed producO tion. The government is meticu- lous about filling out forms" and the proper approval must be had to obtain each different type of building materials. Sometimes patchwork must stop because the bureau controlling glass has not approved and returned the forms for buying windows. This remiAds one of the days when our craft unions were at odds frequently Cbut perhaps never the bricklayers and glaziers), slowing down con- struction work.
 The London press announced while I was there that building contractors were being granted extra gasoline rations because of the additional travel required to get their numerous forms filled out and circulated to wholesalers and retailers, which they found necessary to do in order to com plete building. '
 All rationing seems to move slowly. For instance, I had to ob- tain food points to give the hotel for the week I was in London. Up on the advice of the hotel man ager that I should report at the rationing office when the doors opened at nine o'clock. l arrived at 8:45 and found a long queue already waiting. Eventually \ found myself in special room for foreign visitors, with only few of the waiting applicants, and had to wait only about an hour. The speed of the ration clerks remind ed me of some of our own paid clerks during the war; it was evil dent they were not paid by the number of customers they served and that they had no fear of com petition.
 Queues and Bread
 England is experiencing great CT shortage of food, clothing, and gasoline than during the war, and therefore rationing has not been eliminated. On the contrary, some items are now rationed which were not under rationing during the war. Queues of from 50 to 300 people were constantly on the streets, at most all hours, waiting to get rationed articles.
 was actually hungry every day I spent in England. Bread counts as one of the three courses avail able for a London dinner, and if bread is ordered this eliminates either the soup or the sweet. Dur ing my last day in London hotel waiter was fined $20 for inadvert- entyl putting a roll on the table for each of two men who had not. ordered bread. They chanced to be- inspectors.
