for some of their cattle, when
they spied a big buck feeding
placidly some distance away.

The startled buck wheeled

a log about six feet high in his
excitement. His front feet
landed in a stump hole and he
fell forward, breaking both

Curb Market

of our farmers would more than compensate
for the loss of fresh vegetable sales in food
stores.
Besides, grocery stores have a competitor
in Pascagoula today in the house-to-house
peddler of fresh fruits and vegetables, grown
in Alabama or other counties in this state.
Perhaps some of you readers wonder why
we keep hammering for rural development
for curb markets, and diaries, and canning
plants, and poultry farms, and tung groves,
and permanent pastures for beef cattle.
Here's why: We know that it is poor bust
ness for a county to import practically all
of its foodstuffs while four-fifths of its land
lies idle.
Trying to build up your urban areas and
ignoring the folks who live out of the city
limits is like trying to pick yourself up by
the boot straps. All segments of the popula-
tons, regardless of where they live or who
they are, must be taken into consideration
to institute a program of maximum effec-
t~iveness.
The same goes for a state, the nation, or
the world, for that matter.

A group of East Jackson County farmers,
headed by Axel Petersen and Ellis Hamii-
ton, plan to open a farmers curb market on
q portion of the old fair grounds, which be-
longs to the county.
The county board of supervisors have
given the group the green light and have
agreed to assist the farmers in any way pos
sible in the establishment of such a market.
We are sure that the new board group--or
the two new members that assume office
next month-will be in accord with this
agreement.
If the market can be established and oper-
ated efficiently, it will be a big step in the
direction of this county's Balance Industry
With Agriculture" program. We need such
a program, just as most of the rest of the
state needs more industry to balance their
fundamentally agricultural economy.
1t would be shortsighted and the height
of foolishness for any merchant in Moss
Point or P~ascagoula to see the curb market
as a competitor. The development of our
rural areas and the extra cash in the pockets

Study Human
Hair With Aid
Of Microscope
BY ALTON BLAKEsLEE

Associated Press Science Reporter
st. Louis. Some puzzles
about human hair are being
tackled in a new way by Dr..
Mildred Trotter at Washing
ton University Medical school.
DR.. Trotter, professor of gross
anatomy, wants to learn just
what changes occur in a per-
sons hair from birth to maturi-
ty. Her subjects are Is boys
and girls, ranging in age from
a few hours to II years old.
She has taken samples of their
hair every month, and is exam
ming them under the micro
scope.
She doesn't expect to find
any answers to such problems
as why some people get bald.
This is a project to learn some
fundamental facts about hair.
The work might lead, how
ever, to some way of examin-
ing hair and telling whethers i
belonged to a boy or girl, and
about how old the held was,
in a kind of a ''fingerprint" sys-
ten for hair analysis.
This is the first time, DR..
Trotter said, that hair of the
same persons will be studied
over a long period of time.
Previously, analysis of hairs
from different individuals of
different ages has shown grad
ual changes in the structure of
hair occurring with age. The
new study may permit exact
tracing of these changes, what
they may mean, and why hair
grows darker with age.
Hair fluoresces under ultra
violet or sun-tan light. DR.. Trot-
ter is interested in whether the
degree of fluorescense changes,
and what this might indicate.
Hair research so far has dem
onstrated that hair grows coars-
err with age-that the individu-
al hairs get thicker in diameter.
1t also indicates that there are
only slight differences if any,
between the hair of males and
females.
Cutting hair does not make
il coarser. Cutting or exposure
to sun does not appear to have
any effect upon the rate or am

Margaret Craver's story in

careers lie open to women who
are willing to do some explor-
ing outside beaten paths.
Miss Carver, the attractive
ibrownthaired daughter of a
Kansas cabinet maker, is build
ing her career out Of silver in
New York. And she thinks
it offers a lot of other people
shining possibilities for hob
bies and Christmas presents if
they will put their minds-and
hands-to it.
Miss Craver fell in love with
silver when, as a Kansas Uni
versity freshman, she enrolled
in a metal work class. Later,
when she went to work in the
Wichita (Kansas) Art Associa-
ton Galleries, she taught some
classes in silversmithing and
jewelry making. Her infatu-
alton with the metal continued
to grow and she began to dream
of fine hand-wrought silver
in America and of craftsmen

for healing. In developing pro-
jects for bed patients, she had
to consider such restrictions as
no noise, no flame, little strain
and few tools.
Before that program ended in
February, 1947, Miss Craver
began to receive letters from
teachers in university art de-
partments, asking where they
could get instruction in silver
smithing. So Miss Craver-
now director of the craft Ter
vice department of her firm.
helped launch plans for a
months working conference
for silversmiths at the Rhode
Island School of Design in Pro-
violence, r. I. Ten teachers at

where they could obtain mate

carry on a hobby they had come
to love.
So she prepared q primer on
making handwrought silver
jewelry and the tools required.

Hancock County
Officiols Appeal
Federal Sentence

Lander Neeeaise ana weiton

have filed notice of appeals from
sentences of one year each for
violations of the anti-racketeer-
ing law.
Necaise, a member of the board
of supervisors, and Lander, a dep
uty sheriff, were sentenced by
Federal District Judge Ben c.
Dawkins in New Orleans after
being convicted by a federal court
jury for their part in a shake

along the Gulf Coast.
Both have been released under
$4,000 bonds.
1t was brought out during the
trial that the men accepted money
from a truck line operator to kill
traffic violation notices and for
assurances that trucks would not
be further molested.
Before passing sentence, Judge
Dawkins denied motions for ar
rest of judgment and a new trial.

offshoots of other investiga-
legations, and did not begin
to scratch the surface of the
war effort. What if a real in

military, and carried through

young men who lie beneath

least that much from the gov
eminent for which they died.
A Lincoln county man, SEN
fenced in 1881 for assault and
battery with attempt to rape,
had his five-year sentence sus-
pended after serving four
months. In July of this year
the same man was convicted of
the same offense in Adams
county. Two others granted
suspensions of long prison SEN
fences for murder and man.
slaughter, respectively, were
also latter convicted of the same
offenses. Unfortunately, our
parole system is based more on
politics than it is on a scientific
study of the possible rehabili-
tation of a convicted criminal.
In the case of sex offenders,
prison terms do little good.
These men are mentally sick
and until we treat them as such
there is little hope of returning
them to society as useful citl-
zens. The vast majority of our
sex crimes are committed by
previous offenders who have
served out their terms, or more
likely have been pardoned or
given suspended sentences af-
ter serving a part of them.

Public Urged To

The annual sale of Christmas

Mrs. McIlwain OF any other MEM
Der of the county association.
DR.. Henry Boswell, superin-
tendent of the state tuberculosis
sanatorium, in urging support of

'The help of state and county
tuberculosis associations in the
campaign to eradicate tubercu-
losis is beyond estimate. Their
