The game will be played in Dur
ant this year at Bennett Field Fri
day night, November 22nd.
The largest crowd of the season
is expected to turn out. Durant is
conceded to have the edge over Lex
ington but wary Durant supporters
point out last years scoreless tie
when Durant was supposed to have
beat the Hornets handily.
Programs for this years game are
furnished through the courtesy OF
the late Marcus Love. Mr.. Love fur
nished the programs for the past two
years for the Durant-Lexington
game.
He gave the order to us for the
programs again this year on the day
before he suffered fatal automo-
bile accident that evening. His son,
Robert Love, is a member of the
Durant squad.
Support of the Marshall Plan is a
necessity If we are to prevent the
Communists from gaining control OF
Europe, according to Mark Ethridge,
publisher Of the Louisville Courier
Journal and Times.
Mr.. Ethridge, who has served
both Presidents Roosevelt and Tru-
man on national and international
commissions, was the speaker at a
forum at Ole Miss Friday night
which was attended by large num-
Der of Mississippi editors.
In January Of this year Mr.. Eth
ridge visited the Balkans as the Am
erican delegate on the United
Nations Commission of Investigation
to study Greek border disorders. In
1o45 he went to Europe on special
mission for the State Department,
visiting Bulgaria, Romania and Rus
sia.
Turmoil in Eastern Europe" was
the topic of discussion by the well
known editor. He pictured each OF
the European countries as having a
"war within war" between two or
more groups seeking political con-
troll.
Mr.. Ethridge said he was con-
WINGED that America is now on to
the Communist method Of operation,
first infiltration and then extending
illegal aid. He seemed to favor a
get cUugn~ policy with Russia on
DIR part.
The speaker. who is one of the
noted editors of this country. is a
native of Meridian, Mississippi, and
in 1914 was editor of the Mississip-
plan, student newspaper and is an
Ole Miss alumnus He was presented
by Chancellor j. D. Williams.
In speaking of the Communists in
Friday evenings discussion Mr. Eth
ridge said he was the first editor in
the United States, as far as he knew,
TO advocate the recognition of Russia
by this country. This was in 1925, he
said. .
When the Communists started out
they had some ideas that were good,
Ethridge seemed to believe. For in
stance, they sought classics socie-
ty." Now, however, he added, they
have more class consciousness than
any other group. Everything is di-
vided into classes with the Commun-
lists on top, the Red army and civil
service employees all having definite
classes.
Other ideas which the Louisville
editor seemed not to frown upon was
a dwelling off of the wealth.
An Associated Press dispatch
says the English put out red carpet
twenty yards wide across drab Vic
toria station for Queen Frederiks of
Greece to walk upon as she alighted
from the train to attend the wedding
of Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant
Mountbatten.
This is the same Greece where
literally thousands of lives have
been taken and homes broken, where
hundreds of thousands are supposed
to be hungry. Il
In this country we are running a
Friendship Train across the country
asking every Tom, Dick and Harry to
give anything and everything he can
to save hungry Europe.
1t makes us wonder if we aren't
again being sold bill of goods and
If once again "Uncle Shylock" isn't
being taken for ride.
Monday, November oath, marks
the opening of the annual Christ
Seal sale in Holmes county. Mrs. T.
A. Lail, president of Holmes County
TB Association, and Mrs. Leroy Paris
who head the seal drive this year,
ask that everyone receiving the seals
IN the mail send their remittances as
soon as possible.
Funds from this drive go to fight
the great white plague Great strides
have been taken to curb the disease
IN Mississippi. Needless to say, this
cause deserves the full support of the
public.
