Squirrel Season
Opening Delayed;
Sixty Days Set

Mississippi's open season on
squirrels has been reduced from
90 to so days this year, and will
open on October Is instead of
October /, the State Game and
Fish Commission announced We'd
nesday, following an open meet
ing of sportmen in jackson on
Tuesday.
The fight to shorten the season
and delay the opening was led at
the meeting by A, N. Pelham,
president of the Jackson County
Hunting and Fishing Association,
in an effort to replenish the sup
ply of squirrels, which are de-
creasing at an alarming rate.
The October is opening date
represented a compromise be-
tween North and South Missis-
sippi sportsmen, the former re-
questing an October LIST opening
and the latter asking that the
season open on November LIST.
The season will continue
through December Is.
The commission also announc-
ed that the quail bag limit will be
reduced this year from 10 to 8
birds but did not announce a def
mite opening date.
At Tuesdays meeting in the
War Memorial Building in jack
son, Director X. M. Freeman
stated that surveys in his de-
partment showed that both
quail and squirrels were rapidly
decreasing in the state. Turkeys
are on the increase, since the
closed season has gone into eff
feet, and deer are on the increase
he said. He pointed out, however,
that the state could support, l00,-
900 deer, and that there are only
an estimated $4,000 in the state.
The Jackson meeting was also
attended by A. j. Franklin,
treasurer of the county sports
mems group, and Nolle T. Roberts.

The defense said the testimony
of the girls escort relative to
the assailant's height would not
apply to Brumfield; however no
plea of mistaken identity was
elaborated.
Strong Defense
Brumfield was represented by
the firm of c. S. Mitchell and
J. T. Hill, who were not hired
by the defendant but appointed
by Judge L. C. Corban to de-
fend him. All four attorneys, for
defense and state, made final
pleas to the jury. Strong pleas
were made by Mr.. Mitchell and
District Attorney Naples, the for
mer emphasizing that the jury
men must search their conscience
as to whether they desired the
state to take a life on the basis
of the evidence that had been Of
fered; the latter contending that
the evidence proved the mans
guilt and justified execution,
and that this also was equally
a matter of conscience.
Judge corbaff told the jury it

But the best reason for thinking
twice before turning down that bas-
sinet your sister offered to let you
borrow, is the incredibly speedy way
babies grow.
Women having first babies are as
tonished to find that tiny helpless
infants stay that way for such a
short time. Stop and think - your
baby will be too big for bassinet
in just four months. Yes, and in
about the same length of time he'll
have outgrown most of that diminu-
tive layette which you so painstak-
ingly selected. Later on, when your
child goes to school, when his per-
sonality Graves new things-his own
things, not hand-me-doWns - then
will be time enough to stretch the
family budget to make it include
purchases of new clothes and shiny
toys for him. But infants just want
to be loved and to be comfortable.
So don't be too proud to borrow ev-
erything that is offered you in the
way of equipment which will add to
his comfort and to your ease in car
ing for him.
Bathtubs, carriages, cribs -
they're expensive items - and
quickly outgrown. But if well
built, they can serve process

M. B. White, Manager of the
Jackson, Mississippi Field Office
of the Social Security Administra-

next few days a widow will walk in
to the Social Security Admins
tration Office and tell us that her
husband died in 1914 and that she
wants to collect his Social Sc
curity. 1--WE know this, he said,
because it has happened before

In many cases of delay they will
lose benefits. If the delay is
very great, the law may not al
low any payment at all. I have
found Mr.. White said, that some
people inquire of their friends and
others whether to file a claim with
the Social Security Administrat-
ion. Poor advice may be expen-
sive. The best advice is to get in
touch with the Social Security Adj
ministration Field Office without
delay.

sion of babies. In one family I
know, the announcement of
coming baby usually takes the
form of a telephone can: "Oh,
and Mary, when can Jim and L
stop by for the basSinet? Wen
be wanting to give it a new coat
of paint before April" Yes,
coat of paint does wonders to-
ward sprucing up baby furni-
ture. And if you're really bitten
by the decorating bug, don't
waste time bemoaning the fact
that you're short on artistic tai
ent: try decalcOmanias in jolly
animal or delicate floral designs
for a touch of individuality in
the nursery.
AS for the layette, it's better x
buy each item separately, rather
than a so-many-piece wardrobe. To
be sure, these packaged layettes arS
usually complete, but they often IN
clude too many extras.
Now here's where a determination
to insist on quality will pay diV1-
dends. Although a baby won't be
able to wear his tiny garments very
long, he will be able to give them
lots of wear. Sounds like double
talk, doesn't it? What I mean is
simply that baby clothes have to
be washed and washed and washed.
Only good material and careful
workmanship can take it.
Yes, buying things for the infant
is a bit like planting garden. II
YOU put in all your lettuce plants at
the same time, some fine day you'll
leaN heads that even Peter Rabbit
be confronted by so many green
wouldn't know what to do with
them. And worse still, there will be
no lettuce for the rest Of the sum-
mer. So don't go on a pre-baby
buving spree, and then be caught
short on clothes and equipment
when that tiny baby is no Longer
tiny.

might have international COM

But my friend had other ideas.

"that Americans buy millions

whiskey from England every

to lend us the money so we can
buy this Scotch whiskey from
them? I'll answer that: We do
not?
"But we do not need this
Scotch whiskey just like the
British leaders work out that
the Britishers don't need our
