The message SUNDAY morning,
March 18th Artist Models" was
taken from two parallel scriptures
IL Corinthians 5 chapter Is VS..
and Rev. d chapter 5 VS. by our
Pastor. His thoughts for the day
were as follows: Whatever is in
a mans heart if he is touched by
God, he will tell; no man on earth
can touchh the Master Artist, our
God; and finally. the greatest need
today is for models who will pose
for Jesus Christ.
Visitors: Mr.. Robert Jones, At
Gibson Kansas; Mr.. George Ed
wards of Omaha; Mr.. TLeotis r.
Wood, eaman End class son Of
Mrs. Pearl Young; Miss Lulu Pi-

Clark Renews
Plea For State


Harry w. Clark, New Industries
Representative of the Mississippi
Power Company, renewed his
plea for industrialization of the
state in answer to Mississippi's
bottom rung position in the ma
tons economy Tuesday before
the Pascagoula Kiwanis Club.
Although he said that Pasca-
goula and Jackson County are
far in front in the Balance Agri-
culture With Industry move, he
called for a reawakening to the
idea and stressed that there should
be no slackening of effort until
the state becomes n Of the ma
items leading states from an
economic standpoint.
He declared Mississippi's in
come was the lowest largely as
a result of the large negro pop
ulation and called for the rails
ing of the economic position OF
this group as an aid to the whole.
Agricultural leaders themselves
admitted that farming was not
the entire answer to the problem,
Mr.. Clark said, and listed the
states labor potential as its great
est asset.

a bill for a six months extern
sion. Just what form the legis-
lation will finally take cannot
safely be predicted at this time.
Hospital Construction
1t now appears reasonably GER
tain that the Congress will soon
pass a bill which will provide
for a Federal appropriation OF
$75,000,000 a year for five years
to provide disqualification in areas
where it is most needed. Although
the grant will be upon approx
mately a fifty-fifty basis, it will
be distributed according to Cd
population, (2) capital wealth,
and t3) need. This method OF
distribution should be favorable
to our section OF the country
where hospital facilities have long
been inadequate.
The main differences that
must be ironed out now between
the two Houses concern the prob
lem Of with whom the Federal
Government shall deal in the
construction of hospitals; that is,
will the Federal Government
deal with the state agency or
will it deal with the people of
the local communities directly?
We have been very active in
urging early passage of this mea-
sure as we are anxious to see
communities in South Mississip-
pi which are so badly in need
of improved hospital facilities Sc
cure this assistance so that adj
ditional hospitals NAV be con-

peared before the Senate and
House Military Affairs Commit
tees and made urgent pleas for
the continuation of selective SER
vice.
Secretary Byrnes stated that
he felt it was imperative that
the Draft Act be extended for
at least the period of time dur
ing which our Army and Navy
have responsibility for "a the
occupation of Germany and ia
pan, (2) protection of surplus
property overseas, CD the continu-
ing of defense of the United
States and (4) fulfillment of our
commitments under the United
Nations Charter. He further stat
ed that "those who bear respon-
sibility for the security and well
fare of the United States are
alarmed at the possibility that
the draft will not be extended"
General Eisenhower in present
ing his argument stated that he
and the Secretary of War felt
that the following provisions
should be written into the bill
1. An 10 month limitation on
the length of service of draftees.
2. A prohibition against in

ers, regardless of age, and pro-
vision that all fathers now in the
service be released

increased pay for men who vol

forces would prove to be some

not be sufficient to bring our
Army to a size sufficient to carry
out our commitments. General
Eisenhower further stated thai
if the draft is extended for a
period of a year all fathers now

There is, of course, consider
able opposition to a continue

tiers as people generally are
weary of war and all the sacrific-
es it entails and r anxious to
get back to their normal way
of life. But it appears that in
view of the world situation and
our military commitments some
extension of the draft will be APP
proved. While the military of
ficials are asking for an extern
