iod. Bill Boyd got basket and
free throw, and HaEold Hill, a
free throw.
But Plain City kept plugging
away, too, and hit for 10 points,
enough to enable them hang on
to their rapidly diminishing lead
until time ran out. SchlitZ, How
ard. Ferguson and jefferson each
got bucket for the Scotties the
last period, while Ferguson and
Farmwald got a free throw "a

DAYTON finally ended the even
ing as high point man with Ia
points. Although he got only two
baskets out of l3 shots the first
half, he Gagged three out of four
the second half, and added four
more to his point total with free
throws. Schlitz was the Scotties
high man with nine points.
Marysvilie'S Reserves looked
ragged throughout their game
with the slick Plain City Reserves
largely due to lack of experience
for all of the Marysville scrubs,
Only Smedley Hendricks could
turn in much of a performance
against the little Scotties, and he
was high man of the game with
13 points. Plain City Reserves

of the first quarter, 1910 at the
half and 1913 at the end of the
third period.

Heulth Director
Reports Improvement
In Milk Situation

Marked Improvement in the So
called milk situation" was noted
in reports given at the regular
meeting of the Union County
board of health held Thursday.
Bacteria and sediment counts
taken on the Grade A milk dairy
men are delivering in Marysville
and other parts of the county re-
vealed much lower figures and
well within the limitation set by
the board.
DR.. w. S. Ramsay, Union Coun-
ty Director, said this showed the
result of cooperation between the
producer, dairyman and the au-
thorities.
A letter from the HopeWell
Dairy Farms asking admission of
their Grade A milk for sale in
Union County was brought up for
discussion. On examination of a
report from the state board of
health, the members decided their
product would not meet the STAN
dards of the local board and not
to issue a permit until it was
satisfactory.
DR.. Ramsay's report on infec-
tious diseases over the county in
dicated these the lowest for the
last several years.
Attending the meeting were
William j. Porter, president,
Ferne Berger, secretary, John
DeVoss, DR.. E. j. Marsh, Ivan
Meadow and DR.. Ramsay.

FAVORS MORE AID TO AGED

Among the outstanding humani-
tartan services of Representative
Bill Colmer were his efforts to
amend the Social Security Act so
that the needy aged of all states
should share alike in old age ben
efits. At present payments under
the old age assistance program
vary from around $45 in the
richer states to S12 in the poorer
states. Colmer has taken the posi-
ton that the aged should not be
.penalized simply because they
happen to live in a state whose
resources viii not permit 1t to
match the Federal funds on the
present $3.50 basis.
When the Social Security Act
was first introduced, ColmeI
pointed out TO the Ways and
Means Committee that il would
require at least SO. 500 900 fol-

sion is granted by the Federal
Government"
When the Committee failed to
act favorably upon his suggestion,
he carried the question to the
floor and made an almost single
handed fight in behalf of the
aged of the poorer states. He in
troduced a compromise amend
ment cutting drastically the
amount that the State would have
to contribute.
In 1889, when the Social Secur-
ity amendments were before Con
gress, another attempt was made
to increase the Federal contribu-
ton in the poorer states. Close tc
100 members of the House banded
together as a steering comimttes
and selected Mr.. Colmer as theil
chairman. At that time the AID.

Favored Federal
Aid To- Education

When the late Senator Harrison
Introduced legislation providing
federal aid to education, Colmer
sponsored similar legislation in the
House. He has actively supported
iuch legislation with the proviso
hat Federal aid must come with
out Federal interference.
r. b. Marston of the National
Education Association of the Unit
ed States recently thanked Colmer
as follows:
"A large share of the credit
should be yours for the progress
that has been made toward the
enactment of federal aid to edu-
cation.
"We wish to take this opportu-
llity to express our appreciation
or your support of this legislation

Spokesman For
THng Nut GrOUers

The principal advocate in
Washington of development of the
infant tung industry is South Mis-
sissippi's Representative. Bill Col
mer. Approximately half of all
the tung oil produced in the
United States comes from the
coastal counties of Mississippi, and
Colmer has forcefully m a d e
known the needs of the growing
industry.
In the second session of the
60th Congress he introduced two
bills that would greatly benefit
the tung grower. One would place
a duty of five cents per pound on
all tung oil imported into this
country. This would help the
American industry to meet the
Chinese competition. The second
bill would guarantee to the tung
grower by legislation a support
price on the same basis as other
crops. A floor price was secured
by Colmer last year through. the
Commodity Credit Corporation,
and he is continuing his efforts to
secure a similar support price this
year from the same source

and the Nation in these crucial
times. Their choice is Colmer-
trained, able. and wise from years
OF service in Congress on such pol
icy making committees as the
Rules Committee and the House
Special Committee on Postwar
Policy and Planning.
AS chairman of the latter COM
mittee, Congressman Colmer had
an opportunity to meet the leaders
OF industry, labor, agriculture, and
government of both this country
and Europe. He has gained vaIu-
able first-hand information about
our economy and our relations
abroad. His committee in its rec.
lamentations called the turn in

sentation; Plan to Keep II.
Congressman Bill Colmer has
worked hard for his people. He
a stayed on the job, even when
1 would have been to his personal
advantage to take time off to look
after his own political fences. He
aas a fine record in behalf of all
groups OF South Mississippians.
That he has looked out for South
Mississippi's interests is indicated
oy the fact this section received
more public work projects, more
License plants, more military
camps than the rest OF the state
combined.
Colmer has served his appren-
ticeship and is well on his way
up the seniority ladder Of the
House organization. Only "a DEM
ocrats Of the total House member
ship of 435 are senior to him, and
several of them are not candidates
for reelection. With each passing
year, under the system of senior
ity followed in the House, his
prestige. backed by his recognized
ability, increases, and more and
more recognition comes to the Sec
ton he represents.
Because his record of accom-
plishments justifies 1t and because
he can serve her better than a
new and unframed man possibly
could, South Mississippi will give
BID Colmer a fine vote of conf
ldence on the oath of August.

the requirements set out in the
bill, whereas the total receipts of
the State the year before were
only $l4,000.0 900.
"Old age pensions and the care
of crippled children should be
recognized as a national problem"
he told the Committee. There
fore, If the committee concludes
that it is impractical to make as
much as $50 a month contribution
to the needy aged by the Federal
Government, the provision requir-
ing the equal contribution by the
State or other subdivision of the
government should be eliminated.
And these needy persons In this
aged class, who have contributed
so substantially to the upbuildine
of this Government, should al
least be permitted to enjoy what
ever amount in the form Of a pen.

When Congress adjourned early this year after being in session
almost constantly during eight years, had high hopes of an opopr-
tunty to visit every town in South Mississippi and to discuss with
the people of our District some of the great problems confronting our
State ana our Nation.
Three times since then / have had to choose between STAYING at
home and looking after my own reelection or staying on the job you
gave me to do and looking after your interests:
First, there was the Democratic Convention in PHILADELPHIA. II
was a delegate from the state atlarge. I was a member of the Mis-
sissippi group that walked out Of that convention in accordance with
your instructions.
Then came the conference of States Rights Democrats at Br-
mingham, where Governor Thurmond of South Carolina and our own
Governor, Fielding L. Wright, were put forward as candidates for
President and Vice-President respectively in opposition to the Tru-
man and Dewey tickets
Finally, the President, for reasons of his own, called us back in
to a special session. One of the items that he labeled as must" leg
islation va his nefarious miscalled civil rights program of antlpol
at the South. My Southern colleagues in the House had honored me
by choosing me as their leader when President Truman's recommen-
dations were first made. My presence in Washington to help map
the strategy against this transparent attempt to win votes in the big
Northern cities at the exepnse of the South was required.
In each of these instances my path of duty, as your Representa-
tive. charged with the responsibility of looking after your and the
countrys welfare, was so clear that l did not hesitate. In each case
! left my own fortunes in the hands of my friends and other fair
minded people in the District in order that I might do the lob YOU
given me.
All of these have taken time away from my personal campaign
for reelection and have made it impossible for ne to hope to cover
the District in the limited days remaining before the August gath
Primary.
your active support l think that you will agree that il there ever
was a time when seasoned men were needed in the Congress because
OF 10Th the domestic and international situation, that time is now.
l assure you that your vote and influence will be sincerely an
preciated and that I will do my best In the future, as In the past 10
represent you in such a way as to bring credit and honor to South
Mississippi.

change in the matching basis, AMI
they were out-voted.
Colmer has proposed legislation
to give additional grants to the
poorer states to help them pro-
vide more adequate assistance to
their aged. Under his bill there
would be variable grants to the
states by the Federal Government
with the largest Federal contribu-
ton going to the states with the
lowest per capita wealth.
Along with a majority of the
House, Rep. Colmer ~petitioned the
Ways and Means Committee to
bring out for consideration before
adjournment at the last session of
Congress an adequate bill.
