for $135,000 plus cancellation OF
the city's tax suit for $4,000

Frank Bentley told the County

The commission did not take
action on the offer, but deferred
decision on the question until aft
err George E. Baker, presideAt of
National Airlines, comes here for
a conference with the county Of

Baker when here recently said
he was interested in the airfield
in Key West and he might con-

figure" Just what he meant by
a reasonable figure" was not
known last night by the mem

Chairman Bentley.
'This whole question is really

Key West" declared Parrish. I'VE
are paying $4,000 a year right
now for the airport which bene-
fits only Key West. The city
should take that into considera-
ton when it comes to the ques-
ton of settling the tax bill against
the airport land.
And / do not think condem-
nation suit should be undertaken
by the county. There is no way
of knowing what the land would
cost us after it was condemned.
Then we have to pay the whole
legal bill, including the property
owners"
County Attorney Paul Sawyer
interposed to remark that the
county did not have to accept the
bill for the land as handed down
by the court.
"And the question Of legal fees
is part of the price you pay" said
Sawyer. 'If you did not accept
the condemnation price, then you
wouldn't have to pay the legaI
fees"
On motion of Commissioner
Gerald Saunders, seconded by
Parrish, the board decided TO de
lay decision in the matter unit
after Baker gets here.

would be about 5000, but later
in the afternoon, particularly af-
ter 5 o'clock, there was a rush at
the polls, with residents casting
their ballots as fast as they were
checked up.
But voters increased in some
precincts faster than they could
be handled. At z O'Clock, many
persons were still in line at the
fourth, fifth and sixth precinct
polling places, and they were
permitted to vote before the polls
were closed. .

the number of voters still here

tional Deficiencies. Even more un-
fortunate, hundreds of such rejected
selectees came from homes where
the tables had always been set with
plenty of good food-but the boys
and girls growing up in those homes
had not developed proper eating
habits.
Now that we are being asked by
the President of the United States
to use our food supplies to the best
advantage, to waste less and to help
humanity the world over by our own
practices. it is tremendously impor-
tant that we know what constitutes
good nutrition Even if the last arm
ed conflict had not destroyed vast
food resources elsewhere and left
millions of food producers unable to
plant the produce, it would certainly
not be good sense for us to weaken
ourselves unnecessarily by made
auate diet. We had a startling eye
opener when Selective Service find
ings were revealed; now it behooves
us to make use of that revelation and
improve on our poor eating habits.
An excellent nutrition program is
well under way in the state. Missls-
sippians are beginning to realize that
they need to know more about food
values and to apply that knowledge
daily. Any one who would like to inn
prove his knowledge of nutritional
needs may go to his health depart
ment for information and material
for study.

Your State Health
Officer Says

Mississippi has plenty of good food
Whether we grow it at home or
select it from the grocery shelves
there is in our state no shortage of
nourishing food of all kinds. But
the unfortunate fact is that we have
not always made wise use of avail
able foods

the Selective Service during recent
years would not have been so high,

IN HEBREWS 1876, we find this
revealing statement: "The Lord
Is my helper; / will not fear"
The more we study the words
OF John in Sundays lesson-words
that remind us again and again
that God is love, that we love him
because he first loved us, that
when we love him we are made
strong in serving him, the clearer
we come to understand the Incl
dent in Acts Alb, when Peter
and John stood boldly before the
Sanhedrin, impressing the court
with the fact that they had been
with Jesus.
They were not afraid because they
were conscious of the presence and
power of God. The Psalmist put it
sublimely when he said, "The Lord
is my Shepherd, shall not want"

Madame Butterfly In
Jackson December 9Th

Discriminating musicians have for
years raised nue. ana cry that the
younger American singers have lack
ed the experience essential to first
class performances; and the singers,
answering back, have said, I'VE have
virtually nowhere to gain experien-
ce." With current increase in the
number of opera productions
throughout America the situation
has been somewhat alleviated but re-
cent years have shown Charles L..
WaEner's touring company to be
making the greatest strides as an ex-
perience-giver.
In pre-war days, an occasional
American artist was lucky enough
to get engagements in the smaller
lyric treatres of Italy, France or
Germany, but the war put an end
to that. Since 1889, however, Mr..
Wagner'S ltinerant troupe has given
II -luable experience to many of
IT, most promising younger artists.
On. Oecember 9th Mr.. Wagner's pro-
duction of Madame Butterfly" will
be presented by Armand Coullet at
City Auditorium in Jackson Virtual
ly the entire cast is of American ORR
gin and has been trained in Amer
lea
Mr.. Wagner's formula consists of
playing one opera, with alternating
casts, six nights a week for seven
to twelve weeks each fall. In this
way he is able to guarantee his prin-
cipals at least thirty performances,
each one under differentn conditions
of stage, auditorium, and audience.
Supported by sympathetic con-
ductor, a fine orchestra and chorus,
in settings that are familiar, the
singer-and the audience-benefit
by well rehearsed and well-routined
performances each night After the
first two dates an artist can concen-
trate on perfecting his own role and
of blending his voice and stage
movements into those of his collea-
CUES, because he need no longer
worry over what they will do drama
tically or unsteady.
Today, the best managers are an
xiouS to have their stars in Mr.. Wag-
ner's touring companies because it
has been proved in many cases that
the experience of twenty or thirty
appearances in one role on tour with
Mr.. Wagner is an "open sesame" to
such august portals as the Metro
politan, San Francisco and Chicago
operas, as well as the Nacional in
Mexico City and the Teatro Munich
pal in Rio Lovely Frances Greer
sang some twenty-five performances
as Musetta in Mr.. Wagner's LA
Boheme" company A few weeks
later she made her debut at the Me-
tropolitan Opera House in this very
role with the result that every cri-
tic, in complimenting her perform
ance, spoke highly of her poise and
assurance. Similarly, Nadine Con-
ner's experience as Violetta in the
LA Traviata" troupe won her APP
pearance in this important role at
Americas two best operas-San
Francisco and the Metropolitan.
Baritone Mack Harrell built enough
experience and friendships in three
years membership in Mr.. Wagner's
itinerant companies to boost his
career immensely in both concerts
and opera.
