Sunday was a high day at
Tabernacle; The pastor del
ivered a message inspiring to
Christians and convicting to
the sinner, the text: St. John
81. Theme: "Ye Must Be
Born Again. These words
were spoken by our Lord, said
Rev. Jones, more than 1900
years ago, but are as much a
live to day as the Savior who
spoke the words, and has a
moral application for the wor-
Id to day. Irrespective to our
moral goodness, we all were
born under the influence of the
sin of the first Adam, conse-
quently we must be born un-
der the second Adam, Jesus
Christ; as result Jesus told
this teacher of Isreal and the
world to day, to our wonder
nor be astonished, nor surpris-
ed, neither curious; but ye all
must be born again.

New Face Lifting.'
New Books Recommend

A 'face lifting" has been given
Holmes County Library at Durant,
with a new interior paint job and
new lighting. According to Mrs. Mil
dred Lanfair, librarian, the book
room is now an attractive, comfor-
table place, to which all persons are
invited to come and spend ANY
length of time" During the sum-
mer hours will be 9 to 5 except on
Wednesday afternoons, when the
library will be closed.
"a very pleasant way to spend
these warm days is to step on the
magic carpet and visit the beautiful
Canadian or American Rockies, or
the snowy slopes of the Swiss Alps"
Mrs. Lanfair says, adding that a
yarn guaranteed to make one forget
the weather can be found in Osten-
SOS Milk Route" which depicts a
cross-section of life in a small town.
ODonnells "Those Other People,
will allow visits with people of the
famous Old French Quarter of New
Orleans. Other regionalist historic
literature is Memphis Down In
Dixie" brought up to the present
time from the days when it was an
Indian Council buff. For something
more lively, Deadly Ditto" PAS

full of new interest" Mrs. Lanfair
says.

Defending The News

By r. M. Bob Hederman, of The CLarion-Ledger
To our mind, freedom of the press" means that the cii-
Eens of America have the right to newspapers free, to print
the truth about anything that comes within their observation.
In other words, the freedom really belongs to the people,
rather than to the press itself.
And almost the only reason we can thing of which could
justify restriction of that freedom is the protection of our nation
censorship, to a point, is permissible in the interest of national
security.
Now the press of this country and the military leaders
have often been at odds over what materials come within the
definition of information, the release of which would endanger
national welfare.
From over in Europe where Editor Hazel Brannon is en-
loving many interesting experiences, there comes the latest re-
port that the Army isn't getting along with newsmen Ameri-
can correspondents in Germany are in a huff about a new mill
tary directive which says officers can refuse information "on UNI
classified matters not of public interest"
Classified matters, as distinguished from unclassified, con-
sst of documents classes as secret" Confidential" or restrict
ed"
Unclassifed information is the kind which even security
minded Army men find sufficiently innocuous to make public.
Giving functional officers authority to withhold such news, is
in effect, giving them authority for arbitrary censorship.
News is a peculiar commodity. It's ingredient = will any
body be interested to read about it? - is highly elusive. Even ex-
perienced reporters sometimes cannot spot it in a story.
Certainly an occupational Army lieutenant, intent on keep
his own little personal empire free from dsconcerting outside
attention, cannot be expected to do better.
Called on the carpet, the Army has said it was all a MIS-
understanding caused by careless rewriting of an old regulation.
Maybe so, but Army attempts to control the free flow of news
has been too frequent not to warrant the impression that there
exists a constant pressure on the part of the military to tighten
up the precariouSly narrow Sits through which America gets a
glimpse at the world.
1t is not an accident that when Russia moves into a new
ly dominated country, unfettered news coverage dies first.
1t must not happen here!

Badness Mems Trouble

Not so badness, he said. which is
often due to improper scalp treat
ment, as well as heredity. Badness
Is one way of beating the heat that
is a misery to the owner, to Mr..
SCOTS way of thinking. He said
tina in Eases where it. was not due
to heredity, it could be cured, but
that the time required would be
from n to IL years, and that in
all cases in which he had had deal
ings. the c%onsultant had given up"
before the treatment was over.
Referring to women's styles to
beat the heat, Mr.. Scott said that
he had designed numerous dos may
be just a slight change here, and
a slight change there" from Gus
toners original styling. Nine out
of 10, the customer leaves the style
up to the operator, and when he
does the latter can always use his
ingenuity and imagination. and he
takes the seasons of the year into
accord, automatically.
Braids Good
For women, pulling the hair up
into braids is an attractive, good
way of lowering the mercury level
for women, as well as raising the
eyebrows for men. Sometimes fol-
lowing the natural part effects
the same pleasing results. Massag-
ing and brushing are unhesitatingly
recommended as ways to loosen UP
the scalp, thus making for more
summer GOODNESS, as well as prettier
locks and a better-groomed, more
attractive head.
1T is hard for the scalp to get
the right amount of blood supply,
and if it doesn't the condition of
the scalp and of the PERSONS health
may be seen in the persons hair"
Mr. Scott said.
Advises Less Laziness
Though most of the Orchids Gus
TONERS are women, occasional men
do drop in, not SO much with cool.
ness in mind, as other relief. How
ever, n two - GOODNESS or other
relief, and beauty - are coupled
together and can be successfully
COPIED with throughout the summel
season, if "a little less lazinessa is
shown.
To women, Mr.. Scott advises ca.
terlng to the new look STYLE OF
snort hair-dos, which has, after all
been here during the summer fol
many a summer. Advice preferred
men by Mr.. Scott is: Keep going tc
the barber shop for short haircuts,
and don't wear anything bearins
similarity to a mustache, goatee OF
beard. S. c. Herring, owner of the
local barber shop, offers the same
advice.

Beat The Heat Is lnspirational Theme
Of Advice Given By Town Beauty Shop Man

Beating the summer heat and
identifying oneself can be made in
to a case of killing two birds with
one stone, according to w. F. Scott,
local operator-owner of Orchid
Beauty shop. The flight to keep
cool a begin and end right on the
head and scalp, and through depila-
tories, deodorizers and electrolysis
on other regions of the body may
help GOODNESS along, keeping the
head cool is the long hair of the bat
tie, whether you are man or woman.
There are many fuses of the heat
other than suns rays, MIR. Scott says
Naturally, this is the basic, un-
DERIVING factor. But such things as
surplus hair which struggles over
the forehead or on the back of the
neck, and tight scalps that prevent
"breathing" of the epidermal cells
on the head, and improper circula-
ton are devils along the way which
add a few extra degrees of tempera-
ture and cause untold suffering
More than this, such things do not
enhance beauty and good looks,
neither on men nor women, accord
ing to the local operator.
~ Short Hoir. Long Skirts
Now, IS per cent of all new hair
styles are short and comfortable,
and e are easy to handle,
according to Mr.. Scott. For women,
the shorter styles tie right in with
the long skirts. They were designed
for that purpose. For men - well,
men have worn short hair for a good
many years, but since the beginning
of World War II have worm it short
er.
There is not a lot you can do to
fight direct sun rays" Mr.. Scott
says, adding that scalp treatments
on the market will "recondition" tc
a certain extent. With men, these
are scarcely necessary due to the
fact that as fast as the short ends o.
their hair begin to show the effect.
of the sun, the men make their bi
monthly trip to the barber shop.
It is the combination of rolling
hair up on bobby pins" and getting
hair sunburned that starts the end
to splitting, which is a circumstanc'
that never happens with men. Wha
does frequently come to his atten
ton on men, however. are cases o
dandruff caused by improper mas
saying or other reasons, badness
and scalp diseases such as ecszems
Both these conditions are mer
"bringers on" of the heat, and usual
ly grow worse with the heat, on

This type lightning shield, re-
presenting the latest method de-

ence, will largely eliminate service
Interruptions caused by lightning
damage along this transmission
line, according to officials.
Drains Off Lightning
Lightning shields consist of two
galvanized steel conductor wires
running parallel to and above the
current-carrying c o 9.
These shield wires are mounted
upon vertical bayonet-type pole
extensions and q large galvanized
steel horizontal arm. These wires
r adequately grounded at each
point of support and their func-
ton Is to arrest and drain off
lightning surges before reaching
the power conductor wires.
The misunderstanding no.

vides ample electric power to meet
the increased agricultural and In
dustrial power requirements OF
this area, and the shielding pro-
ject is scheduled for completion
early this Fall. Other transmission

lightning shield installations are:

Crews Working Line "Hot"
In an effort to complete the In
dianola Memphis installation at
the earliest possible date, contrac.
tor crews are working the line
"hot". Despite obvious hazards Of
installing the lightning shields on
a "hot" line company officials feel
that 1t Is imperative that continu-
ity OF electric service from this
line be maintained ever while the
project is in progress. Every safety
precaution is being observed, and
to date no accidents or mishaps
have occurred.
Another type of safeguard be-
ing employed by the utility lie the
expulsion tube protective equip
ment, which has also been estab-
lished by engineering science as
An effective safety dsvice against

Guard from Columbus, Ohio, in
1910. He was sent to Camp Shelby,
to Pennsylvania, and on to the West
Coast, from which place he sailed
for the Pacific in May, 1912.
Will Sleep On Holiday
Asked what he would do this
independence day, Mr.. Reese said
sleep" pointing out, by contrast,
that the "easy" work of four years
ago did not result in need for sleep,
then. His recreation of those days
on the French-Japanese inhabited
island included basketball, outdoor
movies, and activities which went
on at the Red Cross club. Corporal
Bill Hearst, of nea Midway, just
over the county line, was also in
his battalion, he said.
Henry Hooker, senior at State
college under the CT. bill, who is
home for the summer, recalls that
he was in France four years ago
with a Signal branch of the 18th
Army, General Bradley's outfit. At

a japanese prisoner of war on the

informed from May 6, 1912 to August

FENCES, days off were infrequent,
and rice was the steady diet. Oc-
casionally a variety in the diet was
afforded, however, in various kinds
of meats including cat, dog, and
carabou.
Different Fourth Insured
Special days while he was in
termed as a prisoner were times
when the Japs celebrated the loss
OF a battle. At these times the pri-
soners were given a little additional
rice rather than on the Fourth OF
July, which to the Japanese meant
nothing. However, he said, prisoners
knew when holidays arrived. Since
returning to civilian life, he has
been engaged as a farmer.
Though he had no definite plans
for the Fourth, he said at least it
would be different from the one
four years ago.
According to j. B.. Walton, phar-
macist at Beall's Drug store, and

Fourth of July was clear and not
