Farm Leader Gives
Reduce Accident Advice

Use your head before you use
your hands. Don't take chances to
save a few seconds.
These are the best safety rules
in using farm machinery, ]. H. OPP
penheim, president of the Farm
Equipment Institute, declared in
endorsing National Farm Safety
Week. July 1881. Without head
work, he said, the best mechanical
safety devices cannot be completely
effective.
Mr.. Oppenheim points out that,
like their city neighbors, more farm
people are injured within the home
than anywhere else. And although
some 1890 farm workers we're kill
ed and 100000 injured during 1947,
this represented 200 fewer work
deaths and 10000 fewer injuries
than the year before.
"The rules of safety are familiar
to most users of mechanical equip
ment," Mr.. Oppenheim says, but
this knowledge always can be de-
feated by carelessness.

JONATHAN STANDS UP

Of the stout texture which counts

He was willing to stand up and be

true friendship is not always easy.
1t usually is very costly, but it pays
big dividends in the coin Of eternal
wealth.

and the might of mine hand hath
gotten me this wealth. But thou
shalt remember the Lord thy God:
for it is He that giveth the power
to get wealth. "-Deut. 8:12-18.
This warning is followed by the
threat, "And it shall be if thou do
at all forget the Lord thy God . &.
we shall surely perish" America
must heed this message and bow in
repentance for her national sins.
May she remember the Lord God
and bless Him for the good land
which He hath given.
Though tempest toss the Stars
and Stripes,
And rock the ship of state,
God will not leave America,
Abandoned to her fate,
Unless America leaves God.

Oh, seek His face-they only stand

GOSPEL TALKS
by Rev. r. G. Valentine

THE DANGERS OF PROSPERITY
When thou hast eaten and art full,
then thou shalt bless the Lord thy
God for the good land he hath CIV
en- thee. Beware that thou forget
not the Lord thy God, in not keep
ing his commandment" -Deut. $40,
II.
If ever a people have been
blessed by God, it is the American
people. We enjoy under Gods bless
ing an abundance of material things.
Things which are rare luxuries of a
few wealthy people in other lands
are enjoyed by nearly all in Ameri-
ca and considered necessities. We are
continually blessed with abundant
crops and God has endowed our
land with almost unlimited material
resources.
Unto whom much is given, much
is required" The least that is re-
quired of people so richly blessed
by God is thankful heart that re-
cognizes God as the giver of these
good gifts. But human nature is such
that when riches increase, the Au-
thor of all blessings is forgotten and
self glorified. God warned the Is
raelites of old to beware "lest when
thou has eaten and art full. and
hast built goodly houses, and dwelt
therein: and when thy herds and
thy flocks multiply, and thy silver
and thy gold is multiplied, and all
that thou hast is multiplied; then
thine heart be lifted up. and thou
forget the Lord thy God and
thou say in thine heart, My power

ship for David, at very great cost,
so are we today summoned to this
ennobling type Of friendship for
Christ. "Ye are my friends If ye
do whatsoever command you," he

Young people find 1t rather costly
to be loyal friends Of Christ today.
There are many siren voices that
invite young people to take the low
road-social drinking, gambling de-

true friend Of Christ will withstand
these voices, choosing rather the
high road Of Christian gentlemen.

COP Chairman Reece Has His Say

Without comment, but as pertinent to the
issues involved in the proposed Southern
bolt of the Democratic party, we reprint be-
low an article from the Christian Science
Monitor of February 16, l948:
The line of Republican strategy is
pretty well laid out by Carroll Reece, Chair
man of the Republican National Committee,
in a letter to 10000 Party officials and work
ers throughout the country. In the letter he
urges a two-party system in the South and
challenges President Truman to show that
the Democratic Party can make good on his
civil-rights program He urged Mr.. Truman
to appeal to Democratic Senators from the
South not to fillibuster against the specific
civil-right proposals when they come up for
action.
"Just now" he notes, there are some
rumblings from the Deep South indicating a
growing realization that the un-American,
one-party system is injurious to everyone,
including its presumed beneficiaries.
"It is to be hoped that eventually an en-
lightened seIf-interest will put an end to
this anachronism in certain of our southern
states"
Mr.. Reece is a former congressman from
the Republican First District of Tennessee.
He said many of the Presidents m
dations ARE duplicates of proposals which
Republican members of Congress have been
seeking to enact into law for many years"
He asserted that infringements upon civil
liberties fare nearly always to be found
where 4 one-party system prevails.
SThounh fhara NAV ho differaneaa in
degree" he went on. that principle
would apply regardless Of whether the
party bears the Communist name. as in
Russia, the Maxi label in Germany. or
the Democrat label In Mississippi"
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-06-04

The real champion of civil liberties and
individual freedom, he asserted, has been
the Republican Party. He said that the Par
ty, founded to wipe out human slavery, /"
had continued for almost a century "un-
swerving in its efforts to protect such liber-
ties and to enlarge them"
Time after time" he said, Republicans
in Congress have sought the enactment of
laws against l%ynching, of laws to abolish poll
taxes, and of laws to establish a Fair EN-
ployment Practices Commission. Anti-lynch-
ing and anti-poll tax bills have been passed
by the House of Representatives with over
whelming Republican support and against
determined Democratic opposition on sever
al occasions.
But in each case, they nave been prevent
ed from becoming laws by Democratic SEN
ators who have not hesitated to p~aralyze the
nations lawmaking machinery by resorting
to fillibusters against these bills. They were
even willing to tie up the Senate and pre-
vent it from discharging its legislative duties
in time of war, as demonstrated by fillibus-
tiers against anti-poll tax legislation in 1912
and 1914.
In his criticism of the Democratic record
on civil-rights legislation, Mr.. Reece said the
Party's record over the past Is years was
"the best possible refutation of any claims
it may make to being the party of liberalism"
He said that during nearly all of that period
the Democrats had substantial majorities in
both houses, including a two-third majority
in the Senate which could nave been used
to cut off a fillibuster. He said the Republican
Party, on the other hand, had demonstrated
in concrete fashion what it could achieve by
action at the state level that had produced
FEPC legislation in four states.

CENTURY PLANT

A century plant which is grow
ing in Machpelah cemetery is
about to blossom, flower lovers
reported this week. The plant it
self is about Is feet high and the
blossom will be about four or five
feet in length. The plant, which
is a tropical plant of Mexico,
Central America, Southern United
States and the northern part of
South America, got its name from
the belief that it blossomed only
every so or 100 years. Enclycope-
die information, however, refutes
this by giving the blooming pc
Rod rs every eight to ten years.
The flowers appear on a long
stalk which after bearing blooms
withers and dies.
