The most exciting time comes
when I get into the sled crammed
full of the many things you boys
and girls have ordered. Then I shout
to the reindeer and away we sail.
I've heard a lot of talk about how

How To Lose SIS

A fellow down the street asked us Tuesday how much
we made on the extra we put out Monday when ingalls,
was announced as low bidder on the prototype.
The question startled us a bit. 1t indicated that many
people have no idea what a weekly newspapers objective
is in putting out an extra edition. The object, folks, def
nitely is not to gather up a few additional dollars, or clear
our shelves of old stock, or lure into our shop customers
who might purchase something else along with the extra.
Here's what happened Monday: At las p. m. Mr..
Lanier called from Birmingham to tell us the news. As
he talked and the story unfolded, the word extra" grew
larger and larger in our minds. Without comforting about
it, both of us knew we had to put that news on the streets
of Moss Point and Pascagoula as soon as possible.
Our large press was in operation at the time, running
off a tabloid mailer for one of our advertisers. All pages
of last weeks edition, except one, had been unlocked and
the type thrown in. That meant three new pages had to
be made up in q hurry. BY grabbing everything lying
loose around the shop-old ads, new news, cold news
four pages were put together. A gap was left on page one
for the prototype story, which had to be written on the
fly and set in type. Our office manager shuffled through
a batch of unmarked photo cuts of ships until he found
one of a C3 we could use. Meanwhile our phones were
busy rounding up carrier boys.
The tabloid was taken off the press, the extra put on.
AT 4 p. m. our carriers were running down the streets
with the extra. But it was not until 5 p. m. that the last
OF $500 copies was run off, and it was 7 p. m. before our
/ apprentice printer returned from distributing copies to the
drug stores.
Now, what did we get out of this? Our expenses
newsprint, overhead, overtime for two men, aspirin for US
Were $55. Sale of 1000 copies at five cents brought $40
to us and $50 to the carriers. Thus, we lost SIS.
That is hardly a project for money-mad merchants to
undertake; and we are merchants. But we are something
else also. We are granted certain privileges under the law
the whole encompassed in the vague expression free
dom of the press and in return we feel bound to per-
form public services of the type exemplified by that extra
edition. Our communities had been waiting for just such
good news. We heard it first and knew that the people of
Jackson county would not hear it except by rumor. And
you know rumors. So we went to press four days early
and put out the extra. And we lost SIS. But had we just

lost something more valuable than $l5-our self respect

In view of their past actions it is both ludicrous and
slightly confusing to watch the actions and blusterings of.
the states rights factions in demanding recognition at the
forthcoming Democratic National Committee meeting next
week at Washington.
AS we recall the circumstances, it was the national
committeeman and committeewomen of Mississippi, Louis
lana, Alabama and South Carolina that walked out of the
national convention at Philadelphia and not the national
party that walked out on them.
Convention meetings were held at Jackson and Birm-
ingham by these groups, who nominated their own candi-
dates for president and vice-president.
The walk-out was, ostensibly, conferred around the So
called civil rights program, but the voting coalition of
Southern Democrats and Republicans has wandered far
afield in this and other sessions of Congress and combined
to block issues that have no more relation to civil rights
and the racial question than a billy goat does to altar of
roses.
The plain truth is, we believe, a matter of practical
politics. States rights leaders were convinced that the Re-
publican party would win the last presidential election,
as was most every one else but the voters. With a Repub-
lcan victory, they would have been sitting pretty and
could have claimed a goodly share of credit for the Re-
publican success.
Insofar as opposition to civil rights, the Republican
party has been more vigorously committed to civil rights
and anti-segregation than has the national Democratic
party. We recall Negro customs collectors and postmasters
in the South under Republican regimes of the past, and
could have expected the same had the Republicans won
last year.
The walk-out group is now demanding recognition at
the National party meeting next week. Gessner T. Me
Convey, chairman of the Alabama state Democratic exeeu-
tive committee, even goes to the lengths of advocating that
the Alabama national committee representatives crash"
the meeting.
1t was Mr.. McCorvey, as we recall it, who was one of
the leaders of the Alabama group that denied Truman and
the National party a place on the Alabama ballot, and
thereby took away from Alabama voters their constitu-
tional right of free choice.
The states rights group voluntarily broke away from
the National party. They bet wrong and are stuck with
it.

an on-the-spot proclamation:

are planted at once to provide

Paul F. Newell, extension animal

Seasonal rains have aided in

Cattle fattened on the winter

Crops planted at an early date

these animals.
May Defer Show Dates
IF this type exhibit is to be

be desirable to defer the show
dates or provide special show

Fewer exhibits of single steers

ish Ambassador Joseph Wine

some inkling of his views in the

The diplomatic corps wants
to see whether Winiewicz will
stick by his church or go along
with the Communist-dominated
Polish government. The ques-
ton came to the front when
Pope Plus XII decreed excom-
munication for all members of
the Communist party.
Whether this applies to the
Polish envoy depends on wheth-
er he is a Communist. He has
never admitted party member

government under the Krem-
Inns thumb.
Catholic authorities in Wash

the individual Catholics con-

Should he admit party MEM

indications that opponents of

However, the Senate debate

Inside Washington
Await Pole ENJOYS Views
On Vatican Communist War

The freely-voiced prediction
that senators would do less talk
ing in the absence of spectators
has not stood up.
Debate on the North Atlantic
Pact brought forth just as long
if not longer-speeches, even
though the Senate is crowded
into the old Supreme Court
room in the Capitol, with no
galleries to hold appreciative
spectators.
Senator William LANCER (R),
North Dakota, opposed the Pact
with a 79-page speech, and
William E. Jenner (R), Indiana,
spoke against the treaty for
three and one-half hours.
There were, however, two
notable exceptions. Senator
Chan Quincy (R), South Da-
kota, ranking minority men,
Der of the armed services COM
mittee, didn't even read his
brief. He inserted it in the Con-
gressional Record and gave
copies to newsmen. Senator Viii
liam F. Knowland (R), Cali
sfornia, spoke for the Pact for
10 minutes and then sat down.
All the sound and the fury
had little effect. Most of the
senators knew how they were
going to vote before debate
started, and the result was just
about what was expected weeks
ago.
