Water has always been hard
to get in this region. Most of
the ground water is saline and
the river Yegorlyk, which flows
through the area, dries up in
summer.
The Kuban is the only river
in the area that rises in the eau
casian Range and is fed by gla-
ciers. The level of the river
never drops, for the hotter the
summer the faster the snow
melts in the mountains.
The Kuban, however, does
not flow through. the Stavro-
pol Territory, which needs wat
err for crops.
Before the war Soviet en-
gineers drew up a plan to make
use of the Kuban waters by di-
verting them into the Yegorlyk
River and building canals from
the Yegorlyk far into the steppes.
The project called also for
several large and about 40 small
hydroelectric power stations.
The first link in the system is
the so kilometer Nevinnomyssk
Canal.
The canal amounts to a new
river with a projected capacity
of 40. OOO, 900 tons of water daily.

Traffic Accidents

The toll taken in traffic accidents on high

these facts out, for writing editorials warn
ing of traffic menaces and reckless driving

us.
What the answer is we don't know.
We do know, however, that q more rigid
patrol of our county highways should be
maintained. Reckless drivers should be dis
couraged with arrest and fines in keeping
with the gravity of the offense. This would
not prevent accidents for as long as a man
is stupid enough to drive a h~igh-powered
hunk of steel at excessive speeds with little
regard for anyone else on the highway, ac-
cidents are going to happen.
But traffic offenders in many instances
are dismissed with a light fine and a warn

The United States Supreme
court has upheld the validity of
a Louisiana conservation law
under which the stream control
commission of that state pro-
hibited the discharge of oil field
brines by one of the states ma
jor oil producers into the
streams of 16 parishes. The
oil company contested the law,
contending that because of the
ruling its production would be
handicapped and lowered. Suits
have already been filed against
oil producers of the state by
oyster fishermen in the amount
of $40, 900, 900 for alleged dam
age done to oyster beds, and
conservation officials variously
estimate that Is to IS percent of
Louisiana's oyster supply is
being destroyed through pollu-
ton.
The oyster industry in coast
al Louisiana, as in coastal Mis-
sissippi, has been a basic indus
try for generations. Through
lean years and fat years it has
been a source of living to
thousands of families and adds
materially to the states wealth
and tax income. The wealth
produced by it in any given
year is, of course, infinistesi-
NAL when compared to oil pro-
duction for the same period.
On the other hand, it will still
prove a source of income long
after the wells that are destroy
ing the beds have been pump
ed dry, and the producers NOV
ed on to other localities. In
viewing the problem then, we
must keep in mind that indus
trial pollution of this nature af-
fects us not only today, but
for generations to come.
With this in mind, it might be
well for our own state govern
ment to make a thorough study
of the situation. Mississippi is
in its infancy, both from the
point of oil production and in
naturalization.
We, of course. want our oil
production and the resultant

Moscow-Work on the Nevin-
nomyssk Canal in the Kuban-
envisioned as part of a possible
linking of the Caspian and
Black Seas-is entering its final
stages.
Besides playing an important
role in the life of the north eau
casus in general the canal will
hasten solution of a problem
which has long captured the
imabination of scientists.
BY adding to it another canal
on the Kuban and one on the
Terek River as well as a num-
Der of large reservoirs, scientists
believe it will be possible to
layout a workable waterway
from the Black to the Caspian
Sea.
Such a waterway from Eu-
rope to Asia apparently existed
in ancient times as is evidence
by the chain of bogs and lakes.
The Nevinnomyssk canal
rounds out a phase in reclama-
ton of up to 100000 acres OF
arid steppes, the identification
of a considerable territory and

life and limb OF every one else on the high
ways.
The situation in Pascagoula is also grow
ing dangerous. A model" ordinance regulat-
ing the operation of taxi cabs and setting up
standards of character for drivers and the
operation of the vehicles was adopted many
months ago. We wonder how closely this or
dinance has been followed and enforced?
Cabs in P~ascagoula continue to disregard
elementary traffic rules by excessive speeds,
failing to stop at through streets and stop
ping in busy traffic lanes to take on and
discharge passengers.
Proper enforcement of the ordinance and
traffic laws by the police department would
quickly discourage this. A few stiff fines
would cut into profits of operating, and both
drivers and owners would see the light.
Little will be done, however, until officers
charged with the responsibility of enforcing
traffic law do just that.
Meanwhile, the general public continues
to risk its life and limb along every mile of
our county highways.

come up with a winner this year and the best
team produced in Pascagoula since the early
'30s when the Panthers took New Orleans by
storm in two Toy Bowl games.
We don't propose to compare the two teams
nor speculate on which is the better since

the bad years and reap only fleeing glory
when they produce a winner. Everyone is
quick enough to yell "kill the coach" during
the rough years, so we propose to give flow

Asiatic Countries Studying
Application of Social Security

tons of the working classes are
fundamentally the same.
The cooperation of Japan is es-
sential to the success of the efforts
to improve the standards of living
throughout Asia, delegates said in
a resolution. The hope was ex-
pressed that a peaceful and demo-
cratic Japan would assume its
place in the Asiatic organization
and cooperate actively.
The conference concerned it
self primarily with social security.
labor policy and a program of
action.
Discussion of social security re-
ceived a major share of the atten-
ton of the conference during
which speakers pointed to the ex-
treme poverty of the Asjatic pop
ulation, the wide prevalence of
disease and epidemics, the high
incidence of infant and matern-
al mortality and the misery and
restitution caused by unemploy-
ment and underemployment.
More than rs percent of the
population in Asia works on the
land. Most of these countries have
full employment for not more
than six months of the year. Large
numbers are dependent for their
livelihood on handicrafts and cot
tage industries. Workers in or
ganized industrial establishments
constitute only a small minority.
The social security committee
recommended: Social insurance
financed by contributions from
workers, employers and govern
ment; employment injury benefits
to include industrial and agricul-
tural workers; maternity benefits
including three months leave on
full pay; provision for old age and
survivors benefits; crop and cattle
insurance plans and extension
of rural medical program at gov
eminent expense.
The lilo was asked to under
take a detailed study of social in
suranee schemes already existing
IN Asia and to convene a meeting
OF social security experts from
Asiatic countries to consider
methods of extending such bene-
fits. The conference proposed that
arrangements be made with the

ton of the United Nations for con-
sideration of crop and cattle in

Special Session of Congress

these that will bring our people

al facilities. But in the process
of gaining these, it would be
foolish to destroy other sources
of income. 1t is also needless,
for there are few problems to-
day that industrial chemists
cannot solve. But the solving
also takes a realization of pub
lie obligations on the part of
industry, together with a spir-
it of cooperation and a willing
ness to sacrifice a portion of
the profits.
The first obligation of our
state government is to the peo-
pie of the state and the safe
guarding of their interests.
Mississippi has too long sacri-

other material assets we possess
made possible by them. We
should also realize that these
resources + equal to those of
any state in the Union and, in
themselves, offer sufficient
compensation for the location
of any industry in Mississippi
without the added inducement
of fencing off a portion of our
state and lacking do not inter-

Mississippians deserve a fair

natural resources of the state,
and at the same time should
not have to sacrifice the bene-

itual, of its streams and rivers
and coastal waters for genera
tions to come. With an intelli-
gent and forceful APPROACH, it can
be done. The time to do it is
now, and not 10 years from

BY the time you read these

third since the end of the war.
And this was only Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1947-Thanksgiving,
1945, and Thanksgiving, l946,
were also spent in peace, or at
least not actively in war.
We remind you of this for a
purpose, for some of you may
feel deep down that you had
little to be thankful for yester-
day-that prices are high, your
wartime savings are gone, and
your job is playing out. The
wonderful postwar world that
you expected has not material
ized-you are still driving the
SO flivver and the new car you
dreamed of is sitting on a used
car lot priced far out of your
reach.
The wonderful labor-saving
devices, like dish washers and
automatic stoves and plastic
houses, were still off the market
until you had eashed your last
bond and now seem as far
away as ever. Your pay check
is twice as fat but the cost of
living is more than twice as
high and you wonder sometimes
il a dollar-seventy-five an hour
and six bits-a-pound steak is
any better than four-bits-an-
hour and twenty-cents-a-pound
steak.
And you fellows that were in
the service; we know that you
wonder where that nation of
grateful people got off TO; where
those good jobs and houses have
gone; where you missed the

New Zealand, the United States.
South Africa, Sweden, Den

feet deep. At YOUNGSTOWN he
predicted a good supply, 40
yards wide and 80 feet deep.

NEW DELHI, India - Asia's
first coordinated move toward
solving the social and economic
problems of more than half the
population of the world lying on
one-third the surface of the globe
was taken here at the regional
International Labor Organization
conference.
More than 100 government en-

representing 20 countries began
pooling their ideas for establish
ing a balanced economy in Asia
and insuring social progress for
the working Masses.
1t marked the first time a labor
conference of Asiatic countries
has been held under the auspices
of the lilo which in the past has
concerned itself merely with
European and American prob
lens.
The conference. laid stress on:
/. Agriculture and domestic in
dustries are of cardinal impor-
lance to Asia and if the LILO is to
be of any use to these countries
it must adapt its methods of study
and research to the needs of the
agricultural population.
2. Underemployment, excessive
pressure on land, low productivity
and inadequate physical means
for sustaining a decent existence
Ire the dominant features of the
economic landscape in most Ash
attic countries.
3. Increased production, more
equitable distribution and a gen.
eral plan for governing both of
them r necessary to meet the
gigantic task of improving the liv-
ing and working conditions of the
Asiatic laboring classes.
The conference, one of four i'm
portant ITO meetings to be held
in different parts of the world,
emphasized the fact that in spite
of the differences between Asia's
economic and social forms, struc-
lures and standards and those of
other regions in the world, the
requirements, hopes and aspira-
