NIGHT: One of the best argu-
ments to come up with a bunch
of Parish Streeters came up here
this past Saturday night. We were
all mellowed with our Fish and
Beer 1--WE amt against the Black
Market Tax and we don't want to
stop nobody from drinking moth
ing stronger) when some body
brought up the question and ask
ed who brought it up first about
the BOTTOM RAIL ON TOPp
and while / didn't intend to make
this no book review article. Time
I heard the question I thought
about WILLIAM ALEXANDER
PERCY'S BOOK It's called
LANTERNS ON THE LEVEE !.
it's a real story of the Negro in
the Mississippi Delta, written by
a man from one of the really
great families of the state. Lam
terms on the Levee has a whole
chapter on the subject "THE
BOTTOM RAIL ON TOP" and
while | don't know that William
Alexander Percy was the first one
to use them words who ever in
vested them didn't use them no
better than he did in his book.
Take in Mississippi. according to his
story. The oBttom Railc Got on
Top back around 1910. AS one
Parish Streeter pointed out it
show loks like the bottom rail
done bent in the middle and Mis-
sissippi's load don got heap too
heavy for a bottoms rail. From
what William Alexander Percy
says it didn't cost but six hundred
dollars to get the Bottom Rail on
Top in Mississippi, that is after
the Colored Folks had been stop
ped from voting. AS another Far
ish Streeter said. it would be
hard to tell how much interest
have been paid on that six hun
dFed dollars through what the
bottom rail has done since 1910
asd just like the bottom rail could
not get on top until they had done
stopped Colored Folks from Vot-
ing in Mississippi it looks more
and more like somebody in Miss
issippi is gonna have to start
Colored Folks back to voting be-
fore the bottom rail get put back
where it belongs.

day Ben Hayden, one of the

to visit another of the boys and
his family in Joplin.
A WORD TO PARENTS: Now
that school is tut boys will find
themselves with lots of time on
their hands if they don't have
nothing to do. They vii also want
a little more change than you

money they may resort to some
thing that leads to trouble. The

had not given such overwhelming

they would be submitted to contrac-

Question: I am planning to paint
the floor of our farmhouse dining
room with a light deck paint. I
have linoleum in the center Of the
room, and the painting would be on
the outside of that, around the
room. What finish would be best to
keep it clean? I intended to use
varnish, then wax over the paint.
But as things get very dirty, I
wonder if wiping up with damp
cloth would be sufficient. I have
been scrubbing the floor, but can't
do that with a varnish and wax fin
ish.
Answer: It would be practical to
paint the floor with a durable deck
enamel, followed by an appropriate
wax. Varnish is not necessary.
Choose a tan color that will not
show dirt. Cleaning can be done
with a type of wax intended for
cleaning; there are several of this
kind on the market. You may need

sary, and then follow by applying a
thin coat of wax, allowed to dry
before polishing. An alternative

development also Is notable for the
management policy under which it
is operated and maintained.
Apparently Col. Ring believes it's
good business to keep the develop
ment in tip-top condition, for that's
the way it's kept. Crews of paint
ers, for example, are at work all
the time. Each year third of the
1,060 units is painted inside and out
side.
No apartment is allowed to go
more than three years without being
redecorated and repainted.
Repairmen on Call.
Residents will tell you that serv-
ices are prompt and efficient. Did
you find a couple of ants building
a nest in the corner of your bed
room? If you live in Colonial Viii
lage, a call to the Office brings the
"exterminator"-a regular employe
"a few hours later.
Having trouble with a faucet?
The firms own plumber is there
within an hour or so-with his
tools. Did a fuse blow out? Resi-
dents say you seldom have to wait
more than hour for the electrician
to appear.
On the other hand, the develop
ment has some rules which some
tenants will say they don't like
For example, residents are not sup
posed to sit on the lawn or door,
steps. Children are supposed to
play on the Fairgrounds, and not on
the lawn.
Yet the majority will agree man.
agement rules serve to preserve the
beauty and residential value of the
neighborhood.
Rent Rises Accepted.
When the management recently
proposed rent increases of S per
cent to January l, an additional 5
per cent to mid-1948, and third 5
per cent for. the second half of
next year, virtually all tenants
agreed to accept the plan.
The fact that no organized tenant
protest arose against the rent-in-
crease plan was attributed by ten
ants to the consistent full-mainte-

Paint Peels Off.
Question: I bought a brick-ve-
neered house over a year ago. I
painted the window frames and

fore me never could make paint

How can I make the paint job sue
