Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: have often said you can
never find out what the Parish
Streeters talk about until you min
gle with them on a Saturday night
around their fish and beer. What
they were talking about Saturday
night ought to be of more than
passing interest and concern to ev-
cry Negro citizen of Mississippi.
That is to those who plan to stay
here and contribute in the best
way they can to the development
of the city and state and to
the development Of good will and
cooperation between its white and
Negro people. What the Parish
Streeters were talking about was
people like Perry Howard, Mis-
sissippi's Republican leader, living
away up yonder in Washington,
and John l.. Webb, head of the
Masons, living away over yonder
in Arkansas, wearing big names
and making big money out of

were glad that they could not re-

from the Pacific, where he served

It happened like this: New Yorks Society of
Photographic Illustrators suddenly became sick of
seeing the same old enameled faces felt that some
thing new and fresh was needed. So the Illustrators
ran a contest - for the AlAmerican Girl
And just about this time Korky was phone girl

When she cooled off, she noticed newspaper
announcement of the Illustrators contest. Korky
had nothing to lose, mailed in her entry blank -

BY Cambridge Associates

The atomic bomb which fell or

slightly more revolutionary thar
many of the ether creations Of
science and industry during the
war years. Many Of these will at.
feet the everyday business Of liv-
ing Immediately; many more will

In homes.
Predictions regarding the adap-
tation Of atomic power to Indus
trial use range from three years
10 70 to never. OF practical and
demonstrated peacetime utility are
che results of the crash programs
Of researchers In electronics,
chemistry and physics.
Advances
Structural and power plant ad-
vances made in the airplane dur
ing the war have proven that there
10 no mechanical obstacle to great
or and greater size and speed. Ra.
dar and other electronic devices
will facilitate landings and takeoffs
under adverse conditions and
lessen risks of collision in the air.
Radar
Radar will not be confined to
aviation alone, however. rail-
roads, steamship lines, and other
modes of commercial transporta-
lion are developing plans to use
It extensively In their postwar
business.
Synthetic rubber, one Of the
largest of war industries, faces a
rroblematical future, but now that
production costs have ben great
ly reduced it seems certain to hold
an assured place in our domestic
economy.
New Alloys
New alloys of steel and other
metals developed for transportion
purposes will add efficiency and
economy to the automobile and
many home appliances.
Synthetics
Synthetic resin products, '.plas-
tcs", are rapidly coming to the
forefront as peacetime extensions
Of wartime ventures. Melamines,
newest of the thermosetting plas-
tics, are now getting their first
chance in civilian production.
Melamines strengthen paper to
the point 1t can stand laundering.
To textiles, melamine resins can
do incredible things - reduce wool
shrinkage, make cotton and rsyon
creaseproof and spot-and-water-re-
sistant. Melamines can help in tan
