Eager Young Feet
Stort Down The
Gotewoy of Life
BY Charles D. Rowe

The new school year is again call
ing throngs of little boys and girls
into study rooms and into a great
experience. They are taking their
first steps on long journey that
may be filled with interest and
excitement and high endeavor for
many of them or the passing days
and years may bring heartache and
disappointment. Whatever may be
the lot of these young students in
coming days, one thing is certain
their lives will be spent in time
of most momentous importance in
the history of mankind.
l sat one day in Libby bust
ness house and visited with man
of declining years as we idly
watched the passing crowds on the
street. A cute little toddler went
by hanging onto the hand of his
fond mother My companion re-
marked with a kindly chuckle about
the cute little chap and then gave
utterance to a thought, the fruitage
of long and largely misspent life.
With his eyes following the little
chap, and with a hint of regret and
sadness in them, he said. But
we know how long the road is a.
head of that little fellow"
I suppose there was something in
the mind of that tired, disillusiOned
man somewhat similar to the
thought of the poet when he said:
o little feet that through long
years
Must wander on through hopes
and fears,
Must ache and bleed beneath your
load;
!. nearer to the wayside inn
Where tolls shall cease and rest
begins,
Am weary thinking of your road.
II is well that kindly old Mother
Nature fills the youthful one with
eager anticipation for the journey
ahead The pleasures, the accom-
plishments of the passing years, the
JOY of living through the present
day. all add zest to the traveller
along the way 1t is also well that
one of mature years looks back over
this long journey in which the Bit
ter and sweet have been so freely
mixed and is glad for the rest that
beckons from the approaching way
side inn"
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1947-09-11

But no one need dampen the ar
dor with which youthful feet start
down the long journey today. To
one who has kept in touch with
at least a part of what is transpir-
ing on this busy old world, the
future holds an unreasonable in
terest. One could hope to live
through many additional years
merely to be able to witness the
unfolding panorama of mankind's
achievements.

Exports And Imports

Next week Mississippi will be host to
World Nations representatives at an Import
Export meeting in Jackson designed to find
new export markets for the states fast ex-
panding list of manufactured goods.
The meeting will undoubtedly serve an
excellent purpose in the building of good
will, and react to the benefit of the state as a
whole. However, as just a meeting, without a
plan of future action, it will be of little bene-
fit to anyone except those who gather round
the banquet table.
For this reason we believe that the propos-
ed dredging of the Leaf and Pascagoula rivers
from Hattiesburg to the Port of Pascagoula
merits the full weight and backing of the
State government as one of the most import
ant steps that could be taken in developing
export markets for Mississippi's manufacture
ed goods.
Such a channel would open to barge traf-
fc and a Mississippi deep water port a large

refineries and related industries in the state,

a more equitable share of the states own

not been true in the past.
Both Hattiesburg and Laurel are develop

The channel would give these developing in

portation and a fine deep water outlet for
both export and coastwide trade.
Pascagoula has potentially the finest
natural harbor on the Gulf Coast, nine miles
from deep Gulf water and four miles from
the Inter-coastal canal. Its channel, little af-
fected by cross currents, is easily and mex
pensively maintained.
The state government, interested in the
development of the state and its industries
as a whole, should easily recognize the i'm
p~ortance of this development and lend its
full weight in bringing it to reality.

You're Telling Me!
BY WILLIAM RIFT
Central Press Writer

The names of most of our
punctuation marks, we've just
learned, originated in ancient
Greece. The Greeks, IL seems,
not only had a word for it but
also an exclamation point.
The comma, though it is just
a little insignificant hook.
seems to give most writer's the
greatest trouble.
III
Junior never knows where to
put his commas, so he Just
keeps 'em. He has a thousand
times more commas saved up
than pennies in his piggy bank.
Everybody knows where the
period belongs in a sentence.
That's because it doesn't be
long in a sentence. The period
is outside the sentence-at the
back-like the tail-light of a
long train.
=
The apostrophe is an odd
little punctuation mark. It's
greatest pal is the letter S.
Whenever you see an apoSt1o-
phe you'll very often find an
S in the immediate vicinity.
When two periods join up
they form a team called a co.
Ion. The only person we ever
saw who know exactly where
the colon belonged in a sen-
tence was our grammar teach
or. Maybe she was bluffing,
too.
This columns favorite pune
tuation mark is the exelama-
ton point. We use 10 of them
every day of the week Except
Sunday and still n 10 shortage
looms The supply of exclama-
ton points, 1t seems, is mex

U. S. Population

According to figures an
nounced by Director ]. c..
Capt of the Census Bureau, it
is estimated that the population
of the United States on July
|, 1916, including armed forces
overseas, was 141 ,229, 900. This
represented an increase of
nearly 100000 over the 1910
census as compared with a
gain Of less than 1900, 900 in
the 10 year period before April
l, 1910.
This estimate is based on a
survey which has been in pro-
gress for some time. Provis-
ional estimates of the tital pop
ulation for more recent months,
but based upon incomplete
and tentative data, include the
figure of 142, Csc, 600 for jan
uary / of this year. The Blu
reau stated that since July,
1916, the birth rate has risen
sharply and the population has
gone more rapidly.
1t was also revealed that the
proportion of the civilian pop
ulation living in urban areas in
creased from 56.7 percent in
April, 1910, to 60 percent in
July, 1916. During the six and
one-fourth years between the
1910 census and the 1916 sur
vey, the proportion residing in
rural-farm areas decreased
from 23.1 percent, while the
proportion in rural-nonfarm
area remained at approximate
ly 20 percent. The changes
Market a renewal of the more
rapid Increase in urban Sec
tions that was experienced in
this country before 1880 but
was temporarily halted during
the economic depression that
followed.
The report also shows that
the population, excluding arm
ed forces overseas, or in other
words the total actually pres
ent in continental United Stat
es, increased considerably with
the end of the war and the
return Of servicemen from fore
ign countries. The gain from this
source, between September /,
1945, and July /, 1916, was a
round 100000 as compared
with only 1,300,0 900 due to nat
ural increase and immigration.
BY the middle of 1916 there
were about 10,400, 900 more
civilians in the United States
than on September l, 1916
just after VI Day-of which
number nor than 8,000,0 900 was
the result of rehabilitation.
Chief explanation of the
more rapid growth in popula-
ton since 1910 is the wartime
rise in the birth rate and its
maintenance at a relatively
high level in the postwar pc
Rod. The number of deaths,
it was also pointed out, was
somewhat lower in the fiscal
year l945-46 than in the pre-
ceding two years, partly be-
cause of the disappearance of
wal casualties.

C. I. Loan Appraisals

In an effort to speed up the
veterans housing program, the
Veterans Administration and
the Federal Housing Admins
tration have agreed to put an
end to their system of apprais-
ing property for G. 1. loans,
which has been somewhat con-
fuslng to many veterans wish
ing to purchase property un-
der the loan guaranty plan.
The Veterans Administration
will now designate appraisers
to establish reasonable value
as the maximum price for
which the homo may be sold
to a veteran with financing
through a G.. l. loan, either In
whole or in part, Heretofore,
both the F. H. A. and the We
terans Administration were
required to agree upon a fair
value before the loan could

Special To Central Press

opeelal 10 Central Press
Washington-The chances are
still against a tax reduction at
this session of Congress. One
reason is that the Republicans
will not cut the presidents bud
get as they planned. Another
is that the president probably
will veto any tax-cut bill that
is passed.
The possibility of a veto was
heightened recently by the
testimony of Treasury Secre-
tary John Snyder before the
House ways and means COM
mittee. Snyder opposed any
tax reduction now.
II seems unlikely that mem
bers in Congress strongly in
favor % a cut could marshall
the number of votes necessary
to pass any bill over the pres
ident's veto.
Republicans are finding it
more and more difficult to cut
Mr.. Truman's budget. 1t is
clear new that as many bills
r passed they will not re-
duce the presidents figures
enough to make room for the
proposed three-and-a- half bill
lion dollar tax cut plus a sub
stantial sum for debit retire
ment.
In fact, there is a possibili-
ty that they will trim the pres
ident's budget so little that the
return of $4,000. 900 to the
public through tax reduction
would result in a deficit in the
next fiscal year instead of a
surplus.
This strong possibility re-
presents a potent barrier to tax
reduction, since sentiment at
the White House and in Con-
gress is against a cut if it would
result in continued deficits.
Agriculture Department Of
ficials say that the average
American will be able to buy
more meat this year than at
any time since before World
War |.
They report that the meat
situation has swung from one
extreme to another-from the
acute shortage of last autumn
to huge supplies in the coming
months.
Every man, woman and child
in the United States has about
$50 pounds of meat on the
butchers shelf during l947.
That's about five pounds more
per person than last year, and
the most since 1911.
This prediction is based on
the tremendous boost in beef
production plus a drop in ex-
ports and military needs. The
increase in beef will more
than counteract a decline in
supplies of pork, lamb and
mutton.
The United States Marines
are fighting for their lives.
The Leathernecks, whose COM
bat record throughout their
history has been a proud one,
are in danger of being "swal-
lowed" in the Armed Forces

Certain Army spokesman
have let it be known that they
regard the Marine Corps as a
land-fighting outfit which be-
longs in the Army, not the

adjunct of the Army ground
forces when the merger has
been accomplished.
