have a letter from Miss Hazel Brannon, publisher of the
Durant News and Lexington Advertiser written from Genoa, Italy.
In it she tells me she is on a tour of England, Western Europe,
Scandinavia and Scotland, and invites me to contribute a guest
editorial for her newspapers, on any subject / select.
The natural one, it seems to me, is this first European tour of
q young lady from the Deep South, and the impressions she
gathers. Here from Maine to California, we speak the same Ian
guage, read the same magazines, see the same movies and gene
rally have the same philosophy of life. In Europe when she cross
es a mountain range like the Alps or a river like the Rhine, she
will find everything different, language, ideas, customs, food,
some living in the 18th century, some in the goth.
So | and her other armchair travellers are looking for
ward to her account of her travels and her Impressions. She will
doubtless have every opportunity of observing that part of Europe
she is visiting from cot to castle. For Hazel is a girl who would
enjoy a Summing party and the kind anyone would be proud
to escort to an Ambassadors ball. Z
So I believe that her account, when it comes, will give the
sensation that it had been written on a sunny weekend and
flown to her linotype by Joyous canaries. Or maybe her letter will
fall into the literature of disenchantment, a contrast between an
old world and its dust and tears and the bright new one of her
homeland and its ever widening horizons.

Wuy TO Socialism

When President Charles Seymour Of
Yale University declared recently that
his university wants no part of federal
grants for educational purposes, it
seemed to me high time that educators
in general should wake up to the dam
gers inherent in federal aid to educa-
ton. The public, too, seems entirely too
complacent regarding this "let-Wash-
ington-do-it" attitude, an attitude far
too many educators have been fooled
into accepting.
1t was President Seymour's idea that
direct federal grants to his institution
would "imperil the independence of the
university" Indeed, sooner or later they
would. Public school educators could
tear a leaf out of President Seymour's
notebook. If federal aid would bring
interference and control at Yale, so also
would federal grants to public education
bring control by Washington over local
educational functions.
POcketbook Power
AS far as l know, nobody has ever
dIkutu lIidI COIlblOl OfCl VIC lllldlSCo VI
an undertaking fails to bring with it
full control of that project. Surely
where the pocketbook it, there goes the
authority. None of those arguing for
federal aid will admit they would well
come federal control of education. Ev-
erybody wants to avoid federal control
Except the Communists).
Yet, it amazes me that folks would
accept measures that lead to control, as
surely as dawn precedes day. We work
hard and spend tax money, to promote
decentralization, local responsibility,
and local self-government in Germany.
W. still believe hat Hitler and his
Nazis built a dictatorship by concen-
tfating power into hands that 20 one
dared oppose.
Local Rights
Why then, should America ever take
a step in the same direction? Federal
aid to public education is socialized edu-
cation. All the dangers attendant to the
centralized government would be mag
nified under any plan that would permit
federal control of the education of chill
dren. Must America go in the same di-
rection that Czechoslovakia has gone?
Freedom of the local community in edu-
c%ational affairs must be maintained.
No sane educator or good citizen
would argue against more and better
education. Everybody agrees on the ne
cessity for improving our schools con-
stantly. Not only the children, but the
nation as a whole suffers when we neg
lect to provide funds for school build
ings and equipment. Our public school
teachers need better pay and better
training. Although we have already
made the best record of any nation, in
the realm of education. we can do still
better.

Tomato Answers Given
By Experiment Station

STATE COLLEGE, MISS.-When
dry weather prevails during harvest
season tomatoes can be produced
successfully without stalking, studies
conducted at Delta Branch Expert
ment Station indicate.
Since the cost of tomatoes grown
on the ground is usually less than
half of that of staked tomatoes, some
growers may wish to gamble with
the weather for greater profit.
Most of the fresh market tomatoes
grown in this state, and grown for
home use, are pruned three or four
times, staked and tied three times.
Stakes, Irvine, and labor required
for these operations have become
very expensive and as a result costs
have increased substantially. Such
intensive production practices and
the costs involved make Mississippi
grown tomatoes too costly for the
canning industry.
l.. r. Parish, horticultural at the
Delta Branch Station, describes the
results of t~hree-year tests comparing
the production of staked tomatoes
and those grown on the ground,
Staked plants in the experiment
gave higher yields of both early and
total marketable fruits than the un-
staked plants. The plants that were
without pruning gave higher yields
of total marketable fruits than did
the ones that were pruned and stalk
ed. Pruning the plants did not in
crease the yields of early harvests
in these. studies. Pruning does seem
to increase earliness in some loca'
tions, but it did not at Stoneville
during these studies. Stalking in
creased yields of the early harvests
at Stoneville, even with the same
spacing between plants in the 1941
tests.
Wet weather caused the fruit that
was in contact with he soil to rot
badly at ripening time, Mr.. Farisl
reported, affecting the tomatoes OF
the ground much more seriously
than those on stakes. Tomatoe,
grown on the ground should not b.
spaced more than 8 feet apart in tht
row, provided the rows are 4 fee
! or farther apart. 1t was observed
that the harvest was much easie
to handle on the wider rows thai
on the 4 feet apart, but the yield
were slightly lower on the wild
I rows.
Cultivation in the middle can b
continued later into the season be
tween the wider rows. This result
in cleaner middles to make the har
vest easier. The 6-foot rows wer
very satisfactory from the harvest
ing standpoint, and the spacing @
plants should be closer in rows
feet apart than in those 4 feet a
= part.

Driver Tests Show
Conservation Easy

The first test u was over q ten
mile curse in a section of Detroit
where stop lights and stop signs
were numerous Here, reasonably
moderate acceleration and braking
showed a 500 greater gasoline mile
age over the quick stop and start
artist"
Surprisingly, the safe driver who
saved SO much gas, arrived at the
finish of the ten mile course only
one and one-half minutes later than
the "hurryup" man, made so per-
cent fewer stops and spent 51% less
OF his time at those stops. He aver
aged only two percent slower speed
and two percent greater elapsed
time.
In a test run over the 165 mile
highway from Detroit to Lansing,
Michigan, the safe driver achieved
a 50% saving in gasoline on the trip.
The surprising difference in gas
economy was achieved by MAIN
tanning a normal speed of 50 m-p.h.
on open highway as against one OF
20 mph-
Added to the advantages Of con-
serving the nations fuel supply for
next winters heating use and tho
saving in money accruing 10 the
individual is the fact that safety sta.
tistcs prove the moderate" driver
involved IN fewer and less serious
accidents than the speed-seeksx.
Rice pointed out
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1948-06-24

How to conserve precious gasoline
and save money was recently DEM
onstrated at Detroit when results ID
engineering tests showed savings a
high as 70% possible through proper
engine tune-up coordinated with
correct driving techniques.
The tests were conducted by the
Chrysler Engineering division at the
instigation of w. B. Rice, director
of service for the Plymouth division.
They were made by technical ex-
perts with a 1913 Plymouth special
deluxe sedan equipped with record
ing and measuring devices including
a fifth wheel" electric speedometer,
gasometer, vacuum gauge, odome-
tiers, and batteries of stop watches.
No trick gasoline saving devices
or special fuels were used. The
secret of the savings obtained lay in
(1) proper spring tune-up of the car,
including ignition, c~arburation, cool
ing system, oil change and chassis
fabrication, and steering and brake
adjustments, and (2) employment of
proper driving techniques in han
ding foot throttle and brakes.
A basic gas saving up to 1919 may
be secured by giving an out-of-tune
a the approved dealers spring
tune-up, the tests showed. Past that
point the driver himself holds the
whip hand in achieving phenomenal
gas savings.

in the rural schools of the county.
Bad roads and other transportation
problems made the project imprac-
tical, and the books were donated
to Durant High school.
In 1880 the county increased its
appropriation to 500 a month,
which continued for three years
while a sum was set aside monthly
toward a building fund. Then locat-
ed in a small room of the Durant
City hall, the library was fast out
growing itself. In 1888 work was
begun on a separate library build
ing which was completed a year
later. OF brick construction alta cost
of $4,000 with ample light and ven
tilation, the building, which houses
the present library of books. was
thought at that time to provide suffi-
cient space for additions for rs years.
As early as nine years ago ii began
to be crowded, such was the collec-
ton of books and periodicals, that
were acquired by the board.
Trustees Listed
The board of trustees during this
Improvement period was Mrs. w +.
McCune, president, Mrs. H. B. Sar-
gent, vice president, Mrs. G.. w.
Drane, secretary, Mrs. w. P. Taylor,
treasurer; Mrs. Hunoldstein, Mrs.
Doster, Mrs. Longinotti, j. T. Nicely,
and DIR. r. c. Elmore.
Since the new library was built,
the collection has grown to large
proportions as well as branches hav-
ing been established at Lexington
and Tchula. For nine years the Lex
ington library has been operated as
a branch of the county library with
Mrs. Irene S. Money as librarian
Before this time a W.P.A. library
was operated under sponsorship of
the Business and Professional
Women's club of Lexington.
More than 1000 books each month
r issued from Lexington and
about half of these are taken out
by readers in the rural districts
The Tchula library, located in the
City hall, is open 3 days a week
The county appropriation for Ii
braries has been increased to 1925
a month.
Other Branches
The main branch of the library
is open each day from 8 to 5, with
the Lexington branch open during
the week except Thursday afternoon
and Saturdays. Part of the best o1
the worlds best literature is housed
in the library and branch offices
together with a particularly gooc
children's collection.
Significant of the library's con
tinued growth and popularity ir
service is the complete maintenance
and upkeep provided for by the
county. Though donations and con
tributions of books are welcomed
officials say that the allotment PAID
by the county has taken care o.
most additions, as well as salaries.
