March Of Dimes
Campaign Begins
Public Urged
To Contribute
Generously

The March of Dimes campaign
will begin tomorrow. To last
through January 81, the drive to
obtain funds for victims of infan-
tile paralysis will cover the
nation, handled by state and
county units, broken down into
smaller groups of persons in each
community. An effort to contact
every person in the county will
be made. A. P. Carroll, Holmes
county chairman of the drive,
urges the public to contribute
generously to the worthy cause,
which each year means some
thing in dollars and cents to coun-
ty victims.
Fifty per cent of all money con-
tributed will stay in the county.
The remaining SO per cent will 60
to the National Foundation fol
Infantile Paralysis, from which
fund the County itself received
$4,000 for treatment, last year.
The chairman and committee
members who will work in this
cause urge attention and coopera-
ton in giving generously.
IF the county should have an
epidemic of paralysis, as is evil
denced at some localities during
the summer, the Foundation
would have to be sought for more
funds. We need as much money
as possible for this cause, and
generous giving is indeed urged"
Mr.. Carroll said.

Highway Patrol
Hits Traffic Toll

The terrific toll of deaths re-
sulting from traffic accidents in
the United States was hit by
Capt, A. S. Windham, public rela-
tons officers of the Mississippi
Highway Patrol who visited
Holmes county this week.
There are from 30 to 40 thous-
and people killed in accidents on
the highways every year in the
United States and from one to
three million people hospitalized
in this country alone, he said.
Property damage alone in these
accidents, besides the loss of
human life. is from Is to 30 billion
dollars annually, the speaker said.
Safety must start with the in
dividual. Capt. Windham stated,
emphasizing the Importance of
every individual doing everything
possible to keep down accidents.
Mississippi Sixth
The state Of Mississippi made a
comparatively good record during
1948. Capt. Windham said. This
state will rank about seventh in
the nation Even so, during 1948
there were $50 people killed in
highway accidents in the state,
and the number will reach 400
when the official count is made.
This represents a IL per cent re-
duction over the previous record,
but he continued, this is too many
deaths for any state.
Capt Windham said the public
could reduce accidents by driv-
ing more safely, by demanding
good law-enforcement from its
officers and by Judging on its
merits any case of drunken driv-
ing that comes up before a jury.
Many times juries hate to con-
vict man of drunken driving
because he will lose his drivers
license. the officer said. But we
should recognize the fact that
when we turn a drunken driver
loose we are turning a potential
murderer loose. he warned. Every
case should be judged on its
merits, he said, whether it in
wolves a prominent citizen or an
unknown.

The March Of Dimes annual
campaign is getting underway,
Evening star., 1949-09-30
By Horry Macarthur

Northwest Stampede" the new
motion picture at the Columbia,
is another of those stories about
the head stallion of herd of wild
horses and the man who covets
him. If there remains anything
new to be said on this subject,
wild horses haven't been able to
drag 1t out of Producer-Director
Albert S. Rogell or Scripwriters
Art Arthur and Lille Hayward.
This is strictly for the hay-and-
feed set, for those who just can't
help sitting and looking at horses
when there are horses around.
The plot of Northwest Stam-
pede" is no more inane, of course,
than those found in the lesser
comic books, but it does tie to-
gether the dull and the improb-
able as tightly as you have seen
them twined in some time. The
hero is a rodeo rider who inherits
a ranch from his father and dis
covers the foreman is a girl, and
he and the girl do not get along
at all when first they meet. This
high pitch of dramatic novelty is
maintained throughout the film.
Northwest Stampede" is mostly
concerned with the chase. People
chase horses, horses chase people,
the hero chases the stallion. the
girl chases the hero. After awhile
almost every one catches what he.
she, or it was chasing.
ALI of these adventures have
been recorded in color. It Is the
sort that makes Joan Leslie pretty
as a postcard, at least prettier
than James Craig and Jack Oakie
and the white stallion. Some he
role scenery in Northwest CAnada
is handsome in color, too, II not
exactly lifelike. The actors keep
wandering in front of it, though.
