Population Decrease

Mississippi has shown steady and sub
stantial decrease in population during the
east seven years, since the 1910 census,
while the nation as a whole and most of our
neigbboring southern states have recorded
increases
Unless the trend changes, we may even
lose one of our seven seats in the House of
Representatives following the next national
census in 1850 and the reappointment of seats
in the House that will follow.
But we think that implications of state
wide population decrease, at time when
the nation and this section of the country as
a whole are showing increases, are much
more serious than the loss of seat in the
House of Representatives or the juggling of
figures on the census records.
We have no figures to prove it, but we ven
ture to say that the large majority of those
leaving the borders of this state were young
er, better educated, and more ambitious than
those who remained behind Who would de-
part except those who felt they had a better
opportunity elsewhere?
And where does the responsibility lie? With

fessional and political subdivisions of our

Mrs. MoYson Guest
Speaker At Meeting
OF Moss Point P-TA

Home life is an insurance pol
icy for insuring the emotional Sc
curity of children, Mrs. Helen
Mayson, guest speaker, told MEM
bers of the Moss Point P-TA at a
meeting held at the Central High
school on Tuesday, October IA.
Mrs. Mayson, an outstanding
speaker, made a very interesting
talk on "Insuring Emotional Sc
curity", the topic chosen for dis
cussion. She was introduced by
Mrs. L. X. Mcintosh chairman
of the program committee.
The meeting was opened by a
devotional conducted by the Rev.
w. |. McInnis and after a busi-
ness session the members en-
joyed a group sing led by Mrs.
Leonard Robinson.
Plans were discussed for the
Halloween party to be given on

state Our more ambitious men and women,
both white and Negro, are obviously search
ing for opportunities in other sections denied
them in their home state
1t is a fact that our particular section of
the state, Southeast Mississippi. has shown
substantial increase in population during
the same period that the state as whole
has lost four per cent Our owEcounty has
more than doubled in population and we be-
leve will retain a considerable portion of
that growth.
But it is no time to rest on our laurels and
dislocate an arm patting our own selves on
the back. We foresee rough days ahead here
in our own county when all the resources of
our people will be needed to maintain our
gains.
Meanwhile, every person who loves Mis-
sissippi will view with genuine alarm the
population loss in general and the implied
loss of our higher type young men and
women
The business professional and political
leaders of the state may profitably consider
every possibility in an all out effort to plug
this leak in our states greatest resouce-
