to answer the letter of inquiry sent
to them requesting a decision as to
disposition of the remains of their
loved ones killed in action. The
quartermaster general during the
past two years has made repeated
appeals to next of kin of deceased
military personnel to keep that Of
fee advised as to any change in
next of kin's status, particularly as
to change of address, remarriage
of former widows and death of next
of kin of record. Unfortunately
many Of the people in this cate
CORY have failed to do so and the
Army is finding it increasingly diff
cult in its endeavOr to locate them.
Because of this and unless the
Army is able to locate these next
of kin within a reasonable time
and ascertain their desires for final
burial, the remains of these 10000
military personnel will necessarily
be inferred overseas in permanent
American Military Cemeteries as
established.
There will be fourteen permanent
American Military Cemeteries over
seas and two National Cemeteries
to serve as resting places of the
Armed Forces dead of World War
II when the program is completed
ALI will be beautifed similar to the
eight World War I Cemeteries
where rest 309O7 dead of that war.
Military Cemeteries overseas will
be under the supervision of the
American Battle Monuments Com
mission. Burials have begun in
nine of the military cemeteries.
These are Cambridge, England;
Henri Chapelle, Belgium; st. Lau-
rent, Epinal st. Avoid, st. James
and Draguignan. France; NettunO,
Italy, and Carthage, Tunisia. The
remaining military cemeteries will
be established at Margraten, HOl-
land; Hamm, Luxembourg; Neu-
ville-en-COndrOz. Belgium; Fort
Mckinley. Philippines, and Flor
ence, Italy. The Office of the quar-
termaster general will have charge
of national cemeteries to be Gre
ated at Honolulu, Hawaiian Is
lands and San Juan, Porto Rico.

Return To NorrnaIcy'
After Ball Season
CONTINUED from firsr mage,

while the Red SOx were battering
their way through the ShO' circuits
pOst-seasOn playOffs.
While every member of the team
is deserving of lavish praise for
performance in the playOffs series,
it was the strategy of Clayt Sheedy,
the SOX's bench-manager, that in
sured the ultimate Milford victory
All through the final series, Sheedy
outguessed the oppOsitiOn-as we'll
as many of the local fans-and his
particular brand of baseball paid
dividends in the form of MilfOrd's S
first playOffs championship.
After Doug Payne was removed
for pinchhitter in the fourth inn
ing of what proved to be the, final
game, Sheedy called upon Johnny
Ahern, dependable Highlander in
the regular season, but somewhat
of a disappointment in previous
playOffs appearances, and the rO-
tund rockies from Salem, Mass,
justified his managers show of con-
fidence in him and covered himself
with glory" by holding the DOdg-
ers to a single hit over the remain
ing five innings.
With an ailing Norm Zauchin, the
circuits home run leader and
Most Valuable Player" selectee, on
the sidelines, the Milford pilot in
stalled George Olson, a catcher, at
Zauchin's first base position and
big Gawge," far from a spectacu-
lar performer in previous local ap-
pearances, gave out with a stellar
performance that included handling
eleven chances flawlessIy while
rapping out two timely hits. Sheedy
also took a long chance in playing

turned to this country by Septem-
Der 80, 194S for final burial at the
request Of next of kin, the remains
of $1,000 men and women who died
overseas in World War III. GEN
eral Hastings further stated that
by December 81, 194S the Army will
have returned to this country ap-
prOXimately 1896 war dead. He
stated that this would leave ap-
proximately $4,000 additional re-
mains to be returned. These fig
ures approximate a total of 10000
or "a per cent of the total remains
which have been recovered and
temporarily buried by the Army
search and recovery teams working
in the field.
While Congress when it passed
the law for the return and final
burial of World War II dead esti-
mated it would take five years, the
Army expects to complete the task
in much shorter period of time
Because of the progress made to
date, and in the interest of consid-
cradle saving in OpeTatiOnal costs
the Army has decided to discOn-
tinue six of the twelve distribu-
tiOn centers now being used. The
six to be discontinued are those To-
Gated at Schenectady, N. Y; Char
lotte, N. c.; Memphis, Tenn; Og-
den, eUtah; Kansas City, No, and
the distribution center at the Phil
adelphia QuartermasteF Depot in
Philadelphia. These six centers
will not receive any remains after
approximately mid-NOvember of
this year.
According to General Hastings
the combined estimate of overseas
deaths for the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps and Coast Guard during
World War ii is 358,967. The diff
ference, 83,2O5, represents remains
of those lost at sea or under cir
cumstances that made recovery i'm
possible.
The number of those who died in
World War ii and whom the Army
has been unable to positively iden-
tify at present totals 1882. Gen
eral Hastings said that this figure
is being reduced daily as a result
of improved and painstaking iden-
tifcatiOn procedures being carried
on in scientific laboratories which
have been established overseas and
which are manned by the latest au-
thOrities on Identification procedure
together with all latest scientific
equipment.

"a yield of ten and one-half
million pounds, the largestjn the
past ten years, has been forecast
for the state" said Mr.. Corley.
when the pecans started falling,
the prices also started falling, and
today, in the middle of the mar
keting season, growers are being
offered scarcely enough to pay
for the harvesting"
Mississippians in general can pro-
fit from the slump in pecan prices
and, at the same time, prevent
a further price break which might
prove disastrous to growers, by
buying and using large quantities
of the nuts, Mr.. Corley pointed
out. He cited the high food value
of pecans and their varied uses.
Through the Central Farmers
market in Jackson growers are
channeling much of the states
surplus yield into northern mark
cts. The I.- 4 is open to all
farmers who have pecans to dis
pose of, and anv individual de-
string to purchase five pounds or
more may buy pecans there.

claimed November Is through
December Is as mississippi Pecan
Month" the commissioner said.
Native pecans are now on sale
at all grocery stores and at Pc
can orchards scattered through
out the state. We urge the people
of Mississippi to take full advan-
tage Of this low cost, nutritious
and delicious food, and to make
pecans an item on their daily
menu"

Temperance Means
Moderation

DR.. BENJAMIN Rush. q phys.
cian-general OF the Continental
Army and = sig n err of The
Declaration of Independence, Il
often regarded a. Father OF the
American Temperance Move
ment."
To DR.. Rush. the word tenn
perance" did not mean pro
hibition." As leading American
physician of the Eighteenth
Century, he we'll understood the
evils of intemperance and
fought against it.
But he also understood and
appreciated the benefits Of mod
Grafton. He advised his fellow
countrymen to initiate the sober
settlers of Pennsylvania, whose
alcohol beverage was almost
solely the beer they b re W 9 d
from barley malt.
When DR.. Rush advocated
temperance, he did not mean
prohibition of all alcoholic bev-
erages, as many professional
"dry" agitators would have you
believe. Then, as now, the
word temperance was synonym
of moderation.
From where I sit, it looks
like the word temperance has
suffered at the hands of the
professional prohibitionist.

No Cause Is Lost

e OMETIMES the teller of para
- BILE would explain what he
meant, as Isaiah does with his little
song of the vineyard. Sometimes.
and most often in Jesus case, the
meaning is so plain that only very
stupid person could miss it.
Matthew arranges several Of
Jesus parallels in pairs; one Of
these is the twin story Of the mus
tard seed and the yeast in the meal
(Matt. 13:31-30. Both mean the
same thing. and both are so obvious
that Jesus did not think 1t neces-
sary to explain them.
The Kingdom Of Heaven-the
ideal world, the world IS God
intends Il to be-is q living
thing. q growing thing, some
thing at first small, almost in
visible. But II will grow; you
cannot stop Il.
So the ideal world, the Kingdom
Of Heaven, (Jesus hints) is not an
artificial thing, It cannot be con-
structed by blueprints. 1t has to
follow the course Of living things.
It does not come all Of sudden,
It grows very quietly. You might not
see the seed in the ground. but the
farmer knows it is there.
