lowing continued inefficient operation of the
plant.
AS to the ordinance covering inspection
each of the county's three municipalities
should adopt such an ordinance, as we'll as
the board of supervisors. The latter would
cover the county as a whole outside the
municipalities. The adoption should be fol-
lowed By competent inspection and firm en-
forcement of sanitary regulations. This con-
stitutes elemental protection of the public
welfare, and should be acted on without
further less of time.
The problems of securing the services of
a full time director for the county health
department, to replace the present system
under which Jackson county is supervised
on a part-time basis by DR.. Andrew Hedmeg
from his headquarters at Gulfport, should
be approached more slowly.
We again want to make ourselves clear
on this subject. We have no quarrel with
either the health department nor DR.. He'd
meg. We believe the personnel of the former
efficient, and DR.. Hedmeg a competent and
above-the-average public health officer.
But we do want a director of our health
department who devotes full time to the
job. We also want a competent director. If
DR.. Hedmeg would accept the jackson coun-
ty job full time, we would welcome him. If
ne won't, we want a director just as COM
petent, and not just anyone thrown at us
because OF our protests. Perhaps this will
be a large order to fill, but we believe that
it can be done.

Publicity last week concerning the made
quate operation of the Pascagoula sewage
disposal plant, the lack of municipal or coun-
ty ordinances covering inspection of locally
slaughtered meat and the need of full-time
director for the county health department
has had u healthy effect in that the general
public has become aware of these things
that directly bear on the health and welfare
of the county's people.
Various civic clubs are studying the sit
uation and nave appointed delegations and
committees to take the several matters up
with elected officials concerned.
In reviewing the situation, it seems to us
that the two most immediate and pressing
problems are those of the disposal plant,
and the adoption of ordinances to protect
persons against local meat slaughtered under
insanitarys conditions.
AS to the disposal plant. it has always been
our contention hat the part-time services
of a sanitary engineer should be sought by
the city to put the disposal plant into proper
condition and see that it is operated at the
maximum level of efficiency. Perhaps there
would be some expense involved in putting
the plant into condition. After that, we be-
lieve that q periodical check by a sanitary
engineer, combined with competent local
operation, would result in maximum eff
cheney. The city government has a healthy
investment in the plant, and residents have
gone to considerable expense to connect with
the city's systems. Under the circum-
stances, there seems to be no excuse for al

ers, particularly with the lights of an ap-
preaching car in your eyes, until one is vir-
tually on top of the riders. There follows a
slamming on of brakes (for it is impossible to
swerve into the opposite traffic lane with
another car approaching, a wild scattering
of the riders and a serious accident is mar
rowly avoided.
We might point out in keeping with the
above that In October. l946. the city admin
istration passed a n ordinance providing for
the licensing of all bicycles and establishing
the following regulations for bicycle riders:
No riding on handle bars; the observance
of all traffic regulations applicable to auto
mobiles; proper lights at night; prohibiting
riding more than two abreast; observance
of all traffic lights, passing signals, ~intersec-
tons, ETC., as required of automobiles.
The ordinance was adopted as part of a
safety campaign, and was to be rigidly en-
forced.
rected and busted off. We also believe that
in connection with the enforcement of the
ordinance. the police department might find
1t profitable from a safety standpoint to COM
bine with it an educational campaign. Short
lectures could be given at each school on
the importance of youngsters obeying traf-
fic rules. and the regulations of the ordi-
nance. Precautions should be taken before
a serious accident occurs and not after some
youngster has been MANNED or killed in a
traffic accident.

But slavery was wrong. And
though nearly all the writer's
ante-bellum kin were slave
holders, not even in our boy
hood did we ever hear a South
erner express a wish that slav-
cry could have been continued.
And if the average Southern
Negroes lot has been hard since
emancipation, so has the lot
of most Southern white small
farmers, sharecroppers and
tenants. Both races have suf-
fered from an unbalanced one
crop agriculture, time-prices,
usury, inadequate schools and
other evils. But both groups
have made progress.
"'Never has any race made
such progress in 80 years as
the Negro has made since

said. If so. this is a tribute both
to the ability of the Southern
Negro and the cooperation they
have found from the great ma
jority of our Southern white
people. We grant that this CO.

might have been. But when one

GREECE GETS MEDICAL HELP

ATHENS = (AP) - More than
81. 25O.000 worth of medical sup
plies brought into Greece by the
American Mission the past year
combatted possible outbreaks of
disease. Vaccines were used to
immunize civil war refugees
against typhoid, typhus and 9TH
er diseases. Large quantities of
medical supplies were also sent
to guerrilla-stricken areas.
DOT insecticide was important
in the American-Gree malaria
program which American officials
describe as "eminently success
full" Malaria always has been a
scourge in Greece. Before World
War II there were normally be-
tween l and 2 million cases a
year; in years with heavy rain
fall there were between 2 and 3
million cases annually. During
the pastyear the number of ma
laria cases were reduced to be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
To combat tuberculosis a team
of vaccination experts has come
to Greece from Denmark.
The main public health need
in Greece has been for more
trained nurses. There r less
than 500 in Greece. Public health
experts are sponsoring an extern
sive training program.

Rules For Bicycle Riders

A list of dos and don't's for bicycle riders
was sent us this week by L. L. Stigler, presi-
dent of Youth, Inc, with the request that we
youthful citizens.
This we are glad to do and the list follows:
/. Obey all traffic laws, stop signs, one
way streets and all other traffic regulations.
2. Dismount and walk across congested or
hazardous corners.
3. Ride close to the right side of the street.
4. When approaching motor traffic or
pedestrians, give audible notice of approach
with horn or bell. Never use siren or whistle.
5. Signal for left turns and stops, with left
hand outstretched.
8. Do not hitch onto other vehicles.
2. DO not ride others on your bike.
3. When in groups ride in single file.
9. Do not ride on sidewalks.
10. Never ride against traffic on a one-way
street.
IL. Do. not overload bicycle with packages.
II. After dark, be sure to have a headlight
in front of the bike and a reflector light in
the rear.
Is. Be alert and cautious at all times.
The above constitute an excellent set of
rules to which our own youngsters could
profitably conform both for their personal
safety and the prevention of accidents.
The worst ~offenses we have noted locally
has been the lack of lighting on bicycles at
night and the tendency of youngsters to ride
two and three abreast on busy streets in the
late dusk or complete darkness. Without the

quarters at Jackson, the obser-
walton is made that the cleo
ton of Herman Talmadge as
governor of Georgia has con-
siderably bolstered the chanc-
es of the Thurmond Wright
ticket in the state. The press
release goes on to say: "Tal-
madge campaigned on a strong
States Right platform and his.
victory indicated that Georg-
ians were prepared to support
Thurmond and Wright when
they go to the polls on Novem-
Der q"
There may be some fact in
the statement that the Georg-
ians are ready to flock to the
polls in behalf of the Thur
mond- Wright ticket. We are
not conversant enough with
Georgia politics to pass judg-
ment on that. However, the
statement that young Tai
madge campaigned on a "strong
States Rights" platform is
either the sheerest poppycock,
or an admission that previous
statements by leaders of the
States Rights movement were
wrong or based on propaganda.
Young Talmadge campaigned
on a platform of bigotry which
stirred and famed racial ha-
treds and misunderstanding.
The masked and hooded Ku
Klux Khan stood squarely be-
hind his campaign, which was
marked with cross burnings
and other incidents and actions
which stem from demagoguery
and are a denial of Democracy.
II the States Rights move
ment is sincere such bigotry
and those endorsing it have no
place in the movement. AS was
recently pointed out by a group
of influential and moderate
Southerners, States Rights al
so means states responsibility,
a fact which is often ignored
in all the present hue and cry
and political backing and fill
ing. White people and colored
people have long lived together
in peace in the South and,
with reasoned judgment and
wise leadership on both sides,
can continue to do So.

iect had this to say:
