% Resolutions
The entertainment part of the
program was brought to a close
with several musical selections
by Randall Spencer and Leroy
Marshall. Lee Dewitt and the
members of his committee who
planned the meeting can be
proud of a job well done.
Mr.. Jacobs called the business
meeting to order at $3.50 p. m,
for what was perhaps the heavi-
est schedule of business ever
transacted at any Of the organi-
Zation's annual meetings. In ad-
dition to adopting nine resolu-
tiionS relative TO county matters,
six relative to state matters and
eigth to national issues, the
membership amended its Articles
of Incorporation and adopted a
new code of regulations.
Leland Smith, Liberty Town
ship; Mrs. Luther Iaughrey,
Taylor Township; aHd Carl JAG
obs, York Township, were elect
ed delegates and Ernest Fish,
Mrs. Matt Pacha and Jesse
Roberts, alternates, to the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation annual
meeting in Columbus next year.
Those who will attend the meet

ceivers and it appears that the
locals will be matched pound for
pound on the line.
In their loss to London last
week the Panthers were able to
gain through the Red Raider
line but found it impossible to
push over score. Their defense
yielded often to the powerful
London running and passing at
tack, however, and London was
able to gain almost at will ex-
cept in the middle of the line
where the Panthers' weight made
itself felt.
Marysville will be without the
services of regular end John
Easton who has caught two game
winning touchdown passes this
year. Easton pulled his hip
muscles in the Carey game and
will be out completely this Fri
day. Other than that the locals
will be ready to go. Jim Klieber
and Jim Gibson will share the
end duties in his absence.
Best In Many Years
John Cotton was back in at
ton in the Carey game and that
will add strength TO the line on
defense. If the Monarchs play
the same brand of defensive ball
as they did against Carey, Della
ware will find it difficult to
gain through the line. The loss
of Easton will hurt the pass de-
fense, however.
Win, lose, or draw, local fans
will know that this years Ma
rysville football team is the best
in many years and that both the
boys and the coaching staff have
done a great job from beginning
to end.

Helped out on the Boy Scout
porchlight finance campaign
Monday evening. Didn't get
much money, but found the re-
actions most interesting.
Nearly every home / called on
produced some remark concern
ing the number of solicitations
being made in Marysville.
Seems like they're always
asking us for something" one
lady said. At another house, a
man put it a little more en-
phatically and not quite so po-
litely:
MY God, what are they going
to hit us for next week."
Not a complaint was there
against the Boy Scouts; to the
contrary every place ! stopped
and found someone at home, the
Scouts drew only complimentary
remarks. But as another house
wife expressed her thoughts:
About every time l go down.
town, they try to sell me flower
or a tag. If l don't go downtown,
they come to my house. Last
week it was the band; this week
it's the Boy Scouts. They're all
fine organizations and / want to
do my part. But there is limit
to everything and l think it's
/ about time to call a halt"
Those people have a just COM
plant. But that amt the half of
it; they ought to be in business
downtown, where, instead of so
cents or a dollar, it's S5, $40, S25
crack. And when they're selling
tags or flowers, not one individu-
al calls on you; they keep coming
in your place of business all day
long until you feel like throwing
the ink-well at the next one to
come in.
Please don't think Pm criti-
cizing the Band, or the Boy
Scouts, or the other organizations
which must resort to some sort OF
public appeal to raise money.

conference between Governor Full
Ter Warren and leaders of the Flo
rida State Conference of branches
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-

Negro representation on state

which also discussed with the gov
ernor the problem of police brula-
lily against Negroes and protec-
ton for Negro voters against in
timidation. The possibilities of
relief of over-crowded conditions
in Negro schools and of increased
job opportunities for Negroes IN

Arkansas Baptist
Close Convention
At B|yfhey,iI|e

Blytheville-The regular Bap-
fist State Convention of Arkansas
closed its sixteenth annual session
here at First Baptist church, Rev.
T. H. Haywood, pastor DR.. ]. R.
Jamison of Morrilton was re-elect-
ed president following his annual
address and Rev. c. B. Knox of
Pine Bluff was reelected vice
president at large. More than 300
delegates crowded this little north
east cotton capitol to its capacity,
so much so, until many of the
delegates had to return home for
they could not find sleeping ac-
comodations for the duration of the
convention. One pastor, who is
not member of the regular Bap-
list convention said, "The pastor of
First Baptist church should have
called upon all the churches of the
city to cooperate, that he didn't
and never does so it is a regret
table and embarrassing situation. "
II appeared that pastor Haywood
had expected his own members to
take the responsibility of caring
for the delegation because the del
egates were paying fee for each
nights lodging and he, the pastor,
had hoped that members Of First
Baptist would reap the benefit.
Another prominent citizen said,
Pastor Haywood has the men,
bers but they are all in the cotton
patch, leaving early and return
ing late" 1t appeared that four
dollars per hundred for picking
cotton was more important to
many than a State Convention. So
many returned home the first day
inspite of the plea of President
Jamison that, you will be cared
for, don't leave, but they left
because Blytheville could not care
for them, for Negro housing ac-
omodations are acute. A housing
project will be constructed in the
very near future to house 80 fami-
lies, according to Mayor Doyle
Henderson, who made a welcome
address at the convention and
heard appeal coming from lead
ders TO the citizens of the city TO
open their doors to the delegates.
