It was the depression fol-
lowing the crash of 20 that
changed the course of Capt.
Yewell's life. A printer since
the age of IA, he worked in
various newspaper and job
shops in Easton, Nd; Balti-
more and Cleveland. When
the depression came he was
out of work for a year and a
half, and was, he admits, des-
perate.
One day he was walking
along the Baltimore water
front when the idea struck
him he might get a Job aboard
a ship. even though he had
no inkling of what he might
do. He signed on a bay freight
and passenger boat as a look
out man for $45 a month and
board. His job was to stand

III 'SAA - <SAS4 cV&SS
~ master of a ferryboat,
has reason to agree with the
oft-expressed view that life
begins at 40.
Now 80, he didn't become a
sailing man until he was 43.
And he didn't get his masters
license until about a year ago.
He commands the Herbert
r. O'Conor, one of the three
ferries plodding continuously
across the Chesapeake Bay
between Sandy Point and
Matapeake, on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. At the end
of his 12-hour shift he is re-
lieved by Capt. w. E. Dawson
of Stevensville, Nd, who, by
contrast, has been in the ferry
service for ~ years and has
been a skipper for 10.
Capt. Yewell is a stocky
man with a ready laugh, and
it needs only a look at his
jaunty mien as he strolls the
wheelhouse Of his craft to
know that he is pleased with
the quirk of destiny that
thrust him out of the print
ing business and into sailing.
Not that crossing the bay
as many as IA times a day
is a soft touch. 1t has its
problems and responsibilities.
And Capt. Yewell can think of
at least one occasion when
he wished he were back in a
composing room, assembling
type. That episode came dur
ing a fog, the constant dread
of a bay ferry captain.
This day." he says, "the
bay was solid with fog-you
couldn't see a thing. We
heard a ship blowing its horn
of to starboard, and we
stopped and waited to see
what its course was. Then
there was a long silence, al
though a vessel Is supposed to
sound of each 60 seconds.
All of a sudden the horn
started up-so close it sound
ed practically like it was our
own.
II threw us hard to star
board, hull down. A second
later a Liberty ship whooshed
past so close I could read its
name, even in the fog!"
The job of conducting a
ferryboat across the bay is
likened by Capt. Yewell to
running back and forth across
the main boulevard of a big
town. A poor little ferry try
ing to cut through the heavy
traffic Of big freighters and
other vessels going up and
down the bay has to be pretty
agile-and polite. Because of
its greater maneuverability, a
ferry frequently has to slow
down or change course to pass
astern of a tanker, freighter
or tug with a string of barges.
Fog is the worst hazard for
a skipper, but quick changes
In tide also bring gray hairs
to his head.

In selecting the figure presented we would point out

MISSISSIPPI AND THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON
THE STATE OF THE UNION"

The message delivered few days ago by President
Truman to the Congress of the United States the sub
iect of the State Of the Union because Of the very
nature of American politics, not expected to receive
the praise and endorsement of the political opposition,
the Republican Party and its members, but, generally
speaking, because of the very nature OF American po-
tcs the stote of the union message from the President
is always expected to receive the prose and endorse
ment of his porty and its members, show Of what
politicians call party harmony u
There was little evidence of what the politicians call
party homony in the ottock the section Of the Pre-
sidents message deoIng with the subject of civil rights
made by members of the Presidents party, members
of the southern congressional delegation, particularly
thos from potentially great state Of Mississippi

ledge or understanding Of the southern political and social
scene not ordinarily found omong intelligent souherners

Love Is Not Repealed

THIS is what Christians mean
when they say that the laws OF
God are eternal. We do not mean
that every law between the covers
Of the Bible can and should be used
as the law Of our land today.
What we do mean Is that the
spirit Of these laws Is immortal,
for the spirit Is love. and love
never has been repealed.
Show me a law which helps the
strong at the expense OF the weak.
law which encourages cheating
and selfishness and fighting. ana
will show you bad law. Show me
a law which encourages and helps
men 10 deal fairly with one another
and TO live together In peace. and
will show you good law. Every
law that helps you love your neigh.
Dor is good law; indeed there is
something divine about II. for God
Is Love.
