the existing laws enacted fo1
the production of the consul
mer have been noted. This lax
ness on the part of some pro-
ducers is a source of discon-
tent and discouragment to
those producers who are en-
deavoring to meet the require
ments Of the law.
1t is recommended that per-
mits be issued to those pro-
ducers who are complying
with the law and that those
producers who do not meet the
requirements be advise
wherein they violate the law.
These should be given a rea-
sonable period in which to
remedy the attractions. At the
end Of this period a permit
should be granted if require
ments are met and those not
then having a permit be pre-
vented from selling milk.

Jim would attend mechanic
schools in Chicago. He stayed
with the Ford garage when it
was located, at that time,
where the Nash service is now.
Jim was the first employee I'M
der Mr.. Reed and Randle
when the Ford agency was
opened.
Beside helping him in taking
care of the Zion Industries
cars, Jim's knowledge and ex-
perience with welding was of
great value as he was called
to repair breaks at the Zion
Baking Industry, the Candy
plant and the Printing House,
as we'll as the many jobs at the
garage.
He continued with the Ford
garage when it moved to the
White Front garage building
and he remained with it after
Mr.. Reed left the Zion Indus
tries and Mr.. Peter Dunnick
took over. Jim often reflects
of the thoughtfulness and en-
couragement he received from
Mr.. l.. j. Reed.
Jim worked for the Zion In
dustries for twenty years and
then when in 1941 the oppor-
tunity presented itself he went
into business, running the
Texaco Service station for Mr..
Homer Ingram, when Biastock,
who was operating it, was call
ed into service in 1911. He
ran this for one year until it
was sold in 1912. Then he took
over the City Service station on

Since branching out into the

Jim has been in the garage

in Cincinnati, Ohio. They came
to Zion City, when it was first
opened up and settled at 1712
Hermon Avenue, in Section II.
Jim was born November 25th,

Hermon Avenue address that
Jim went to school at the 21st

he attended the Zion Parochial

New courses in this school in

oil field development; and petro-
logy, which is study of rocks
and their constituents.
These courses, along with other
additional offerings planned for

give Mississippi State college one

These vari-colored markers are
used at the intersection of three
or more highways and are current
ly in effect at Jackson, Meridian,
Hattiesburg and Greenwood.
Increased Costs
Despite the superiority OF Mis-
sissippi highways, one problem
which b paramount today Is that
of rising construction costs.
Highway engineers have known
for many years that the best roads
and most properly constructed
highways will not last for an in
definite time.
Current, accurate figures show
the life span for roads built to the
highest specifications wear out af-
ter 20 to rs years, depending on
the amount of traffic handled.
Most of Mississippi's highways
were built since 1886, so within
the next 10 years engineers believe
there will be heavy maintenance or
reconstruction for many miles OF
roads that are now rendering ex-
cellent service.
Mounting construction costs,
therefore, are of major concern.

purpose is to prepare a student
for position in newspaper
management, as a publicity man,
or for work in the advertising
department of business concern.
Professor c. H. Farnsworth,
head of the marketing depart
ment, states, Since the establish
ment of this curriculum there has
been an encouraging response
from students, editors, and direc-
tors of radio stations in the state
of Mississippi. Other courses in
this particular field will be given
as the need arises"
Another new journalism course
to be offered for the first time in
the coming semester is editorial
writing, which is designed to give
serious students of journalism
practice in writing editorials,
columns, and opinionated articles
Students in this course will have
superior writings published in
various newspapers.
The current semester saw the
introduction Of an entirely new
course in agriculture engineering.
Before this time students could
obtain a degree in agriculture
with a major in agricultural engi-
neering, taking two years OF ag-
riculture and two years of engi-
neering work.
According to F. E. Edwards, as
sociate professor in agricultural
engineering "The new course
gives engineering first, with only
few major coures in agricul-
ture, and will eventually lead to
a Bachelor of Science degree in
agricultural engineering"
The Engineering school on the
Mississippi State campus is fully
accredited in three branches, cleo
