Letters

Dear Sir:
I'm a Pascagoula Panther sup
porter - always was and always
will be. With so much pessi-
mism in the air last week the
Panthers made an excellent come
back to win over the 21-1 favored
Biloxi Indians. I feel sure that
the people of Pascagoula have
changed their attitudes since the
Panthers knocked the Indian:
down from their second place seat
on the Big Eight standings.
How can a team win If the odds
are so heavily stacked against
them? The people Just forgot to
be sports and bank on the Pan
theirs = win or lose. That's what
makes a team get in there and
fight to win - they MUST have
encouraging backing and support.
With one win and one loss in
conference competition, and with
six more conference contests on
schedule, the Panthers can make
an excellent showing in the con-
ference circle.
Come on, people of Pascagoula,
give the Panthers the support
they need. YOU a help them
win by cheering them on to vic
tory. Encourage them to win and
again come out on top of the Big
Eight. Let them know you're
proud of them.
I'm proud of them-win or lose,
Truly a Panther Fan,
KATIE BELLE STEEN.

shame and labels "traitor" any

time ago we commented On the
fact that, according to n of
these releases, the nation is in
imminent and immediate danger
of being taken over by the Com
mics. This particular relapse
underlined e statement by States
Rights Presidential Candidate j.
Strom Thurmond that supporters
of the candidacy Of Dewey, Tru-
ma and Wallace are all "pinks,
reds or subversives." A predic-
ton bordering on extreme OPP
timism would give the States
Rights party 10 percent of the
total votes cast in the November

simple arithmetic from that
point shows that, according to
Candidate Thurmond, 80 percent

next Congress" Now let's view
this statement for a moment in
the Light of past events and cleo
tons. The civil rights program
has been a part of the Democratic
platform for more than 20 years.
During that time Mississippians
have voted overwhelmingly for
the national Democratic party.
Yet this vote has never before
been interpreted as instructions
to Mississippi representatives in
Congress to vote for these issues.
Neither have the representatives
IN Congress taken this vote as
a mandate from the people to
support the civil rights issue. To
the contrary, u representatives
have consistently opposed the
program. and been a factor in
blocking it. Every Senator and
Representative that has come up
for reelection from Jim Eastland
on down have played up this
opposition as a part of their
reelection campaign oratory. We
will have, without exception, the
same Senators and Congressman
representing us in the 82nd Con-
gress as they have already been
nominated in the Democratic
primary and their nomination will
simply be ratified in the Novem-
Der election. II is reasonable to
believe, then, that these men will
continue their opposition TO the
program, whether the Thurmond-
Wright ticket carries the state,
or whether the Truman-B Barley
ticket does.

Butch is America.
Butch wants a bicycle. Lots of lawn

and our national habit of working hard
for what he wants. He's American husi.

There are many names for Butch's
philosophy. You Can call it Free Enter
prise, Opportunity, Democracy, or
Capitalism, ifyou want.
But, whatever the name, America owes
1t much. For u most valuable natural
our lies in the ambition and initia-

The gentleman in question,
Jack Benny, is getting his bald
ing, tight-wad character in
shape again for his return to the
airlanes on Sunday, Oct. 8, for
the 17th consecutive year on
NBC. And although other pro-
grams may change, radio fans
want the same Benny gang
again.
So Mary Livingstone will be
back, snippy as ever, Phil Harris
will be his illiterate, insensitive
character, Rochester will return
as the smart-aleck valet, Dennis
Day is the same silly mothers
boy and Don Wilson will still
remain the same rotund, enthusi-

handles the production reins.
For the past Is years, audi

that Jack Benny has the highest

Mr.. Benny has occupied first or
second place, with high ratings

on its way to this goal, which
has been the life work of one
great artist: Lloyd La Vaux.
Mr.. La Vaux was brought up
from childhood by his father in
the conviction that the elevation
of the accordion was his sacred
duty. Beginning the study of
the accordion under his father
at the age of five, he was al
ready appearing professionally
when only six years old. BY the
time Mr.. La Vaux was sixteen,
he had to his credit solo con-
certs performed on three diff
ferent continents. Full as his ap-
pearance schedule was, his
father saw to it that he had the
finest musical and academic
schooling that could be had.
This training included study in
several distinguished American
and foreign institutions of high
er learning.
World War II temporarily in
terrupted Mr.. La Vaux' crusade
for the accordion, as it did the
fine work of so many artists in
other fields. Exemplary service
in the Allied Intelligence Ser
vice, participation in the initial
invasion of Europe, decoration
with the Silver Star and five
battle clusters, capture and es-
cape from Germany, all are in
cidents of his voluntary spirit
durin gthe war.
Immediately after his de-
mobilization, Mr.. La Vaux made
three nationwide concert tours
of the United States, startling
audiences everywhere with great
music on the accordion in place
of what has hitherto been, at its
best, mere virtuosity. Very
quickly, the music world real
lied that this was IT: Lloyd La
Vaux, In his almost fanatic zeal
to appeal on behalf of the ac-
Gordon, not only to the small
circle of accordionists, but to
the music world at large had
done something entirely new,
something that he alone could
have done, in place of playing
notes on an accordion, he had
shown the world expression of
brilliant ideas and noble feelings
hitherto never associated with
his instrument.
The music world was quick
in recognizing this genius on
the horizon, and in appreciative
admiration, set him aside from
all that had gone before, with
the title, The Poet of the Ac-
Gordon.

DR.. Rhine led discussion on its
authenticity of Characterization.
The point that DR.. Rhine made
before his audience was the fact
that his recent research studies
on the amazing power of the
mind indicate that lunches, in
tuition, premonitions and the
like are not mere chance but
can be channeled into a definite
science. Similar meetings will be
held in other key cities.
