worst traffic hazards in the state.
This tinkering and inefficient work and
almost criminal neglect of our main high
way links occurred to a large extent, during
the administration of Mundell Bush as high
way commissioner for the Southern District,
and is the reason that in the last election
Jackson county citizens gave his opponent,
John Smith, a healthy majority that assured
his election to the office.
We believe Commissioner Smith will
realize the seriousness of this situation and
give some we'll deserved relief to Jackson
county citizens by permanently repairing
these approaches.
While on the subject of roads, we would
again like to point out Highway COS sad
state of disrepair. In its present condition
it is little more than a cracked and broken
slab of concrete sitting on its fill with the
dirt shoulders worn away virtually along
its entire length. This condition has been
directly responsible for a number of acct
dents and indirectly responsible for many
others.
This important highway, which the depart
ment's own figures show to be probably the
heaviest travelled interstate link in Missis-
sippi, has been virtually ignored ever since
the state took it over, and because of this
neglect major repairs, which should include
resurfacing, widening and repair of should
ers, are now the only solution.
During a trip along Highway 40 between
Gulfport and Hattiesburg the other day we
saw highway department crews carefully re-
placing dirt and sod in several places where
the dirt had worn slightly away from the
concrete. The highway is in a bountiful state
of repair along its entire length and its
shoulders well kept and we'll sodded.
Half of the same attention to Highway 80
in Jackson county would have prevented it
from reaching its present dangerous condi-
ton.
1t has been neglected though, in a manner
that is almost criminal, and we hope and be-
lieve Commissioner Smith will give us re-
lief without too much delay.

This latter could be achieved,
we believe, if the major wood
land owners would get togeth-
er and allot to every CONSOLE
dated high school in the county
a certain acreage of land. This
could be divided into four parts.
One part would be given to
each freshman class, which
would supervise its portion dur
ing the four school years. AS a
senior class graduated, its por-
ton would be given to the
freshman class entering the
school. and in that way each
class in the school would have
a plot of woodland for SUI
pervision, with a plot always
available for the new fresh
man class. Credits should be
set up for the forestry work.
and the students allowed to re-
tain profits from the sale of
wood to be used for various
class activities. In this way
each of our rural high schools
would turn out each year a
class of graduates with a sound
foundation IN the practical val
ues of tree farming and forest
conservation. Such a program.
