Thursdays meeting culminat-
ed a series of events that began
with the inaugural address of
governor Wright in which he
struck out strongly at the Demo-
cratic party for sponsoring ma
tional legislation harmful to the
South.
A short time later President
Truman presented a 10-point pro-
gram to Congress in which he
asked for the passage of an FEPC
bill, an anti-lynch bill, the abo-
lishment of the poll tax as a pre-
requisite to voting, and the abol-
ishing of racial segregation to
interstate transportation.
Fails at Meeting
However, his proposal for a
South-wide meeting made at the
Southern governors conference
in Florida last week got no sup
port from the remainder of the
Southern executives. Governor
Wright had proposed a meeting
on March LIST in Jackson to be
attended by delegates from South
ern states opposed to the presi-
dents civil rights bill and other
"anti- Southern legislation.
Governor Wright has indicated
that Mississippi will go ahead
with the proposed meeting in
March despite the action of the
Southern Governors in setting
a 40-day period for the national
party to retract its stand in pres
sure for the civil rights measures.
He has been backed by both the
state Senate and Representatives
in action taken this week.

in a log cabin restaurant, a white

In a few minutes a white girl
from the kitchen came out to ex-

RICHMOND, March 81. CAMP
Chattel slavery was given a mortal
blow in America 83 years ago,
in April, as Union soldiers forced
this city, then capital Of the South
ern Confederacy to capitualte.
Word of the impending fall came
as Jefferson Davis, president of
the revolving south, was at service
Sunday morning at st. Paul's
church.
The current revolt of southern
Democrats and frequent talk of
secession recall the fateful de-
cision of South Carolina to secede
from the Union over the slavery
issue. But now as then the south
is fighting a losing battle.
Eighty-three years ago Gen.
Robert E. Lees battered and de-
pleted forces began a retreat hop
ing to find time to get reinforce
ments for a victorious stand
againts the blues out west, but
Lees strategy did not work.
Jefferson Davis quietly left St.
Paul's church when the disquiet-
ing news of Yankee threat to Rich
mond came to him, and putting on
the attire of a woman escaped
disguised from the capitol.
Meanwhile, LeLe's army beat
a hasty retreat westward, but was
caught neer Appomattox, Va,
where on April 9, the idol of the

 An old Ford rigged up as fire truck loaded with hose and equip ment rushed to the scene and after hooking on to the hydrant the signal for water was given.
 We'll, they got it-all over the firemen there were dozen breaks in the old 212 inch hose and pressure was so low at the noZZel that the stream was only good for about feet While one fireman was attempting to use an axe the others were trying to sit on the hose to build the pres sure sufficient to put out the fire at last the fire had had it's way and push sent the 6 M 8 build .ng over
 The firemen then finished the .ob and made heavy work of put ling away their tools.

Every farm boy and girl be-

urged by l.. |. Jones, director of
extension, to see his county ex-
tension agents during National A.
H Club week, March II, and join
the All Club, "the organization
which brings to youth the finer
things in rural life"
The All Club activities are
woven into the very fiber of the
community" Mr.. Jones said, "and
its leadership represents the best
interests of each community.
Each All boy or girl carries a
project on some phase of farming
or homemaking. They learn to
keep a record of costs, labor and
results, to explain the work to
others by demonstrations, and to
exhibit their products.
From small beginnings often
grow outstanding All achieve
ments-perhaps in the form of a
large dairy herd or even a small
but beautiful farm home"
All Club work is conducted
under the supervision of county,
home and assistant agents, Mr..
Jones pointed out. These workers
are employed comparatively by
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Mississippi State College
and county Boards of Supervisors.
