Drive On "Punch" Boards

The sheriffs office has started a drive against the So
called punch" boards which blossomed out a few weeks
ago on bar-room counters throughout most of the city and
county.
There is little difference between the punch" boards
and slot machines, except that possibly the boards produce
a higher percentage of take" than do the one-armed BAN
dts.
There is no luck" in playing one of the boards. A
player is up against indsputable percentages that return
q fixed profit to the operator of the board. We don't need
these in Jackson county, and believe that operators of the
boards can continue to make a living without them.

premise the boards could mark the start of the type of con-
dition that prevails in our neighboring counties of Harrison
and Hancock.
We congratulate the sheriff on his move and hope his
office will clean the county of these boards.

Jackson county's rural pro-
gram is moving along in fine
style with the county-oWned
bulldozer having completed
work on six projects involving
the stumping and clearing of
80 acres of land in Beat Five.
The bulldozer is now at work
in Beat One where more land
is being cleared and made ready
for permanent pastures OF cul-
tivation. Sixty-two applications
for use Of the county bulldozer
have been filed with Chancery
Clerk N. c. Everett. Each of
these applications was accom-
panied by a cash deposit COW
ering the estimated cost of the
work. The applications cover a
total of between 500 and 600
acres of county land that will
be converted from cut-over
waste to productive pasture.
This summer the Pascagoula-
Moss Point Bank will donate
a tree planting machine to the
county. 1t will be handled in
the same manner as the bull
dozer. Operation costs will be
set up, and the machine rented
to county farmers and land
owners on a non-profit basis.
If an adequate supply of seed
lings are obtainable, several
thousand acres of county lands
should be reforested in a short
period of time.
This is progress along nat
ural lines. 1t allows our small
farmers to convert their cut
over lands into tree farms and
permanent pastures at a cost
they can afford. The Jackson
county rural program, as it
broadens and grows, brings to
our farmers and small county
landowners the type of direct
aid that they most need. 1t
makes available to them mod
ern methods and modern ma
chinery that they could not
otherwise have access to. 1t will
be reflected in a progress and
an tipping of the rural economy
that will be healthy and per-
manent. The board of %supervis-
ors and others who are inter
ested in and have worked for
the program deserve the sincere
thanks of all the county. This
program is being financed with
our own money and carried out
with our own initiative and
thought which, to our mind,
makes it all the more valuable
to us.
While we're about it we
would also like to congratulate
the board and Supervisor Roy
Cumbest for the action taken
this week in repairing, repaint-
ing and making generally more
lixeable the poor farm in Beat
One. The houses are to be re-
painted and repaired and new
kitchen equipment is being pur-
chased. But the most import
ant step, we believe, is that the
grounds are to be handicapped,
shrubs and flowers planted and
the whole area made attractive.
The old folks at the home are,
for the most part, victims of
circumstances beyond their con-
troll. General neglect and con-
signment to a life that offers
little more than the means to
exist is, unfortunately, their US
ual lot. Most are approaching
the sunset of their lives and to
make these years worthwhile
and pleasant is certainly a
worthwhile act.

Poetry's Power
VKTHY the appeal of poetry? For
w one thing, it is vivid 1t is in
colors. not severe black and white.
1t lives and breathes, at times it
shouts, and it always sings.
at is true to say "The prOvi-
Dental oversight of the Creator
is continuous and unremitting;'
but it is more effective to say,
1.-THE Lord is my shepherd" 1t
would be true to say, "The evil
denceS of creative and bene-
ficent purpose can be seen
throughout all the orders of ma
ture;" but how much more
vivid is the l48th Psalm, call
ing on hail and fire, sun and
moon and stars of light. to
praise the Lord!
Another secret of poetry's power
is that it is the language OF emo
ton. Professors and theologians
may be saying the same things as
the poet, and maybe even saying
them more completely and accu-
rately; but what they say is less
easy to remember.
So these emotional Psalms will
always appeal, even to the profess
sor when off duty. because they
make us feel religion and not mere
ly think it.
Pictures of God

hymn book. Different though our
faiths may be, Jews and Christians
can sing from the Psalter with one
voice and heart.
For centuries it was the
nymnal of the Christian church.
Iideed, up to recent years
some large denominations
would allow in public worship
the singing of no other songs
than the Psalms.
Many of our best hymns and pop
ular gospel songs, as we have all
ready seen, are based on Psalms.
Rock of Ages. cleft for me-" "A
Shelter in the Time of Storm"
Hiding in Thee" they all go
back to the Psalmist's picture OF
God as a Rock Cps. 42:9). The
Psalmist was not thinking of a
little rock in a cornfield He was
thinking of some tall crag in the
fierce hot landscape of his coun-
try.
A rock there is a landmark. it is
a shelter against the blazing sun,
people could live under its over
hanging height.
So God is the landmark Of
life, he gives direction to our
ways; he is the shelter on life's
weary journey, he is our safe
dwelling.
So with the many other pictures
of God in the Psalms-he is light,
he is shade, he is the guard on
duty at night watching over the
sleeping city Cps. 12D; he Is a
shepherd, he is water for the thirst
ing soul Cps. 42)
A Model Hymnal
TT rs true that few Christians to-
day can use in worship all OF
the Psalms, without omissions or
changes. It is also true that prac-
tically all Christian churches find
that the Psalms. by themselves,
are inadequate to express all there
is in Christian experience, faith and
ideals.
The Christian hymn, entirely in
dependent of the Psalms, has long
since come into its own. And yet
the Psalms remain the model hym7
nal For in them beauty and truth
are blended.
This should be the ideal Of all
Christian hymn and song books.
Some of our modern "hymns"
as well as some older ones,
are bad because they are no
better than jingles, -dOggerel,
not poetry, and often sung to
tunes better suited to a juke
box; and some are bad because
they convey either nonsense or
downright falsehOOd.
But the great hymns, and the
best hymnals.. are those which like
the Psalms of old. combine pro-
,foundntruths about God and man.
