Mississippi's crude oil produc-
ton is at a levelling off stage and,
aside from new discoveries or adj
.ditional wells in present fields,
total monthly production should
remain at about present figures
for some time, according to in
dustry leaders in Jackson.
They point out that the No
vember oil severance tax report
shows just about the same total
production, and the same tax on
production, as the month before,
and that there has been hardly
any change in these figures for
several months.
Same Daily Average
J The November report ton Oc-
tober production and tax paid
shows a slight increase-$446, $50

Can We Afford The
Cost of Education?

Can this county afford the
budget for education of its future
citizens? We think that question
is answered in the following quo
tation from Goals For American
Education by Floyd w. Reeves:
Ear from being, drain on ma
tional resources, education is the
creator of wealth. In the words
of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Uni-
versal education is the mother of
national prosperity" In the long
term analysis, education helps
create the national wealth necces
sary to pay for itself. This fact
can be demonstrated.
The uneducated savage lived
for years beside the streams ana
waterfalls of this continent, with
out the faintest realization that
power could be generated from
them. Iron ore to him was only
another kind of soil. He lived
among the virgin forests without
finding way to utilize the trees
in providing more adequate
shelter for his comfort. Only as
education opened new vistas was
8 it possible to utilize these natural
resources.
The discovery of atomic ener-
g ymay prove the best il1ustra-
ton of the potentialities of edu-
cation for creating wealth. Ii
atomic energy can be used for
heating, developing power for in
dustrial purposes, and supple
menting our store of natural re-
sources, the financial worth of
the discovery will pay the bill
for education for all years to
come. This nation cannot lose
from an expanded educational
program; and it stands to gain
much, whatever may be the
course of future events

Does Parole System
Breed Crime?

tt ere is a good deal of talk to
the effect that the parole and pro
baton system of Virginia, in op-
Grafton since the early months of
1943, has been a breeder of crime.
Especially, the assertion is
heard that the bulk of persons
now accused Of crime, are either
practitioners >or parollees. Pos
sibly, this talk has riesn from the
facts that two former inmates OF
the State Industrial School at
Beaumont have recently been in.
dicted for larceny and that an
other man, who was recently re-
leased from a federal reforma-
tory is beore the court on a lar
ceny charge.
We propose to secure a report
from the Virginia Parole Board
showing the results of the parole
system in this state. Also, we
shall check the court records of
this county to determine the eff
cheney of the probation system.
These reports will be given in
this newspaper as soon as they
can be compiled.

Why Grow Old?

Overweight affects your health,

contour of your face and your
outlook on life. Why not rid
yourself Of it?
1t gives you double chins. bulg-
ing hips. a protruding abdomen,
rolls over the girdle. fatigue and
self-consciousness. 1t has an
influence on your activities and
ruins your pleasure when buying
clothes. 1t makes you look older
and feel older.
This week ! have been offering
my nine-day reducing diet. which
gives you a loss of from 5 to 10
pounds in nine days. How much
you lose depends on your habits Of
life, your physical activity. your
digestive tract and your metabol-
ism; but lose you will!
A short period of self denial will
rid you Of many of these handicaps
in vibrant living. Perhaps you
have been planning to lose those
extra pounds for long while, but
have put it off. If you have q long
siege of reducing ahead of you, let
me repeat part of a recent letter
from a reader. 1t will give you
hope and will reinforce your
determination.
Dear Josephine Lowman:
when I started on your nine
day reducing diet I weighed 219
pounds. / now weigh 1873 pounds
one year later. I feel like a
million and look 20 years younger.
"I am the proud mother of three
lovely daughters-ages. 26, 27. and
20 years. I am IS years old. Last
Saturday night my youngest
daughters date thought I was her
sister. I am not Dragging, but 1t
made me feel pretty good, I must
admit"
Well, who wouldn't feel good
under similar circumstances?
Most of us would settle for look
ing like our daughters youngish
aunt.
Are we to allow our soaring
spirits to be held to the ground by
a few pounds? Are we to be
handicapped by this entirely rene
diable situation because of lack of
