Hire The Handicapped

This week, among other things, is national "Hire The
Handicapped Week" 1t has been proclaimed SO by the
Governor, the Mayor and others in the nations press.
Wonderful work is being done now in vocational
training with handicapped persons including thousands of
veterans. No longer does a person who is handicapped fold
his hands and give up. Instead he learns a new trade or
vocation and continues to make a useful, Independent, citi-
zen.
We have in Holmes county many handicapped per-
sons who are of our most valuable workers. There are some
20 OF them in in the county who have registered for work
at the employment office in Lexington. They range in capa-
biities from laborers to white collar jobs.
If you are in need of additional help it would pay you
well to investigate the possibilities of hiring a handicapped
person. AS a whole they make splendid records.

oIPk. GOs 1CfC
A week in Britain has convinced
me that over here there is as much
difference of opinion freely ex-
pressed as there has ever been in
the United States. Robin Cruik-
shank, editor of the London News
Chronicle, put it nicely in an adj
dress to the Fulbright appointees

people assume that everybody on
one side Of the Atlantic is a col
lectivist while everyone on the
other side ~subscribes to laissez
faire-that Uncle Sam is really
Adam Smith with a g~oatee, and
that John Bull is really Karl Marx
in mutton-chop whiskers and a
Union Jack waistcoat." Actually
Briton' as well as America will
argue at the drop Of a hat as to
how far the state should interfere
with individual liberty in order to
bring security and a better life
to the little fellow. To return to
Mr.. Cruigshank, the n idea
pretty we'll assumed by both Bri-
ton and American is the sacred
unioueness of human personality,
which, of course, rules out the
notion that man was made for the
greater glory of the state.

Holmes Bulldogs Win
Over SunfIower lila

Holmes Junior college defeated
Sunflower 27-14 Thursday night
at Greenwood after coming into
the second half of the game on the
small end of a 14-0 score.
Both Trojan touchdowns were
made in the first quarter, the first
by Outlaw who plunged over for
the initial score, and the second
by Vincent who went over from
the one Green made both extra
points with well-placed kicks.
The Trojans threatened again
in the second period when a pass
from Outlaw to T. Smith and a
long Gun by OUTLAW carried Sun
flowerto the 2-yard line. The ball
went over to the Bulldogs after a
determined goal-line stand on
their own two.
Second Period
The Bulldogs, offensive shifted
into high Immediately after the
half, when d Branch to Peppes Ia
teral put HJC on S~unfsower's IT.
Silveri, after several attempts,
carried the ball over, and Spakow-
ski kicked the point.
Later lac the third period the
Bulldogs received a punt on their
own %. Branch advanced to the
SO and Spak0wski passed to
Campbell who went to the 40. Tar
ence carried the ball across the
mid-field stripe to the Trojan 50.
Spakowski, on a lateral from
Branch, went to the 80. Pepper
Iateraled to- SilverI who went to
the 20. Cambelf plunged to the
5 and Silver ram the ball over for
both the touchdown and the extra
point tying the score at 14-l4.
Final Quarter
I'm the final quarter, E. Raiawa-
tar ran 80 yards ur the Trojana1-
yard line on a pass from Spakow-
Ski, and later. carried the ball
over for thRethirdi Bulldog toach-
down. The final Bulldog score
was set up by Owens who inter
eepted a Trojan pass on the 30.
Campbell ran the bah over and
SpakowskT booted the extra point.
The Bulldog offensive was lar
gely responsible for the Bulldog
victory as was demonstrated In
their seeanGf quarter goalline
stand on their own z. Trojan re-
verses failed repeatedly due to
expert line backing of Walter
Owen and Jerry Vaughn, and the
Bulldog backffelh was always on
the alert for passes.
The Bulldog offensive teamnfun-
! ctioned like a well oiled machine
to bring them from behind to win
the game.

Will Join World Trade Unit
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

Secretary Of State Acheson
hopes the United States will join
the International Trade Organ
ization, now that the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act has been
extended for three more years.
+. President Truman signed the
extension Monday. Mr.. Acheson
In a statement issued through the
State Department yesterday said:
This congressional action lex
tension of trade law) is of the
greatest Importance in expanding
world trade. We can now conclude
the trade agreements negotiated
this summer at Annecy (F'rance)
and continue negotiations of fur
ther trade agreements.
ut comes at q time when the
need for expanded world trade is
more evident than ever before.
It shows the world that the United
States is prepared to play its full
part in putting world trade on a
sound competitive basis. That
basis includes substantial exports
from the United States. but it must
also include the increased imports
into the United States which alone
can make such exports possible.
Il hope that we may now accept
membership in the international
organization so that this organ
ization may be promptly estab-
lished, and the member nations
can begin to work more effectively
together under agreed rules to
solve the difncult trade problems
which confront us ALL"
