now in those lines is not more than
three months. Britain is steadily i'm
proving her export position.
The King and Queen, accompanied
by Queen Mary, the Princess Royal,
the Duchess of Kent and Princess
Margaret attend the exhibition in
keeping with the policy of the Royal
Family to encourage and aid the
BIZ in every way possible.
AS soon as this years Fair is over
plans are Immediately started for
the next year. The BIZ will continue
its year-round efforts on behalf Of
British industry and the improve
ment Of the standards of the British
people.
Those familiar with the present
grim life the British are leading
feel the people are long overdue an
improvement.
1t has been ten years since they
have been able to supply their needs
and they are short on everything,
food. clothing, housing and all
household goods, not to mention the
non-existence of such luxury items
as automobiles. radios, typewriters,
cameras. refrigerators washers and
appliances. Prices are terrific.
Stock of clothing held in British
stores cannot be bought, for the in
dividual has to submit precious cou-
pons for everything, whether for
food or clothes. The British citizens
get fewer clothing coupons now UNI
der the present government than he
got while the war was in progress.
Other goods are priced so high the
average family cannot buy them and
everything is wearing out.
A situation like this is enough to
defeat amost any people much less
a war-weary nation ravaged bv
bombs and frustrated in peace.
The only thing the British have
left is their still invincible hope and
the as yet undetermined outcome
OF enterprises like the BIZ.

Lexington Group Makes
Effort To Get Train

AT mass meeting of Lexington
Chamber of Commerce and Junior
Chamber of Commerce officials at
the City hall Wednesday, resolu-
ton was passed whereby group eff
fort will be made to secure Illinois
Central trains numbers 1888 from
Memphis and out of Greenwood for
service through the towns of Sidon,
Cruger, Tchula Gwin, Lexington,
and Durant. The train had originally
run from Greenwood to Grenada, a
distance Of 80 miles, but had dis
continued service last fall when a
part of the track had washed out.
Recently the Lexington Jaycees
headed by president, Eddie Heath,
and secretary John F. Pickens, made
investigation of the possibility Of
getting the service, and together
with other business men planned
action. In the absence Of Joseph E.
Berman. president of the Senior
Chamber, Mr. Heath presided over
the meeting Wednesday.
The resolution which was drafted
will be sent to Illinois Central Off
Gals, and will also be circulated
among citizens throughout the city
of Lexington for signers. Civic group
officials in the other towns along
the proposed route will also be con-
tacted and asked to adopt a joint
resolution.
In reporting effort to secure the
service Mr.. Heath said quick action
by the groups will be made. The
trains would not only facilitate
shopping and pleasure trips between
the various towns and Memphis,
but would improve extremely slow
mail and express service, as well
as giving contact with outside sec
tons and tending to bring more
business within the area. Express
service to Memphis in some cases
requires three days en- route.
The resolution, drawn by officials
Wednesday and presented by Harry
Watson, reads: 1--WE, the citizens Of
Lexington, Mississippi, in mass
meeting assembled pursuant to call
on this the 26th day of May, l948,
express our desire to have daily
passenger, express and mail service,
urant-Memphis by train, to leave
Durant in the early morning and
returning before midnight the same
dav, With this service in view we
suggest that train number 80 which
now stops at Greenwood be continu-
ed through Sidon, Cruger, Tchula,
and Lexington, to Durant where it
would spend the night and whence
it would make a roundtrip daily"
The proposed route from Green
wood to Durant covers distance of
81 miles, only 10 miles farther than
the original route to Grenada. Pre-
vious effort was made to secure
train service through Lexington it
was said.
