Jaytees Sponsor US0
Fund Raising Drive

Mr. Edmund Taylor, president
of the Mississippi United Service
organization revealed today thai
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
prominent organization of Lex,
ington, has accepted the use
fund drive to be conducted ir
Mississippi and Lexington No
vember 14th.
Emmett Reese, president of the
Jaycees, disclosed that the state
quota is $4,000. The west half
of Holmes county is $525, adding
this is a very small per capita for
the 100 boys now in the civilian
armed forces from Holmes county.
In a message to the citizens of
Lexington, Emmett Reese stated
that people will cooperate one
with another when each is true to
a single factor-a common idea.
1t is common knowledge that peo-
pie want peace. If a large armed
force is required, the people will
readily do what is necessary to
peace.
The USO is an auxiliary of the
armed forces. 1t has been react
to serve the boys who now
constitute a large portion of the
civilian army. The civilian re-
sponsibility is to the boy. That
is the objective. A common idea
is born when each citizen will
penetrate the confusion of why a
large armed force? Why finance
a USO? and see only in the back
ground - Our Boys, they will
respond and make a liberal gift to
the United Service organization,
said Mr.. Reese.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Brcnnon

It was my privilege recently to
hear DR.. Bernadine Schmidt, as
sistant professor Of education at
the University of Mississippi, de-
liver a lecture to a group OF in
terested men and women in
Holmes county. DIR. Schmidt is
one of the outstanding authorities
in this country in her field and
her work with handicapped chill
dren has received worldwide at
tention.
The work DR.. Schmidt has been
doing should be of great interest
throughout Mississippi, her adopt
ed state. which should be, and is,
I am sure, proud to claim her for
its own.
DR.. Schmidt established a spe-
cial education clinic at Ole Miss
I'D until July LIST and during the
eighteen months Of its operation
served 73B families-families with
one or more children who were
physically, emotionally or men
tally handicapped to the extent
that they could not be trained or
educated N our regular schools.
There are in Mississippi, by
conservative estimate, at least
5000 handicapped children who
need the type of training being
given, up until July LIST OF this
year, by DR.. Schmidt.
Believing the people Of Holmes
county would be interested in this
work I am r~eprinting elsewhere
on this page a splendid article by
Margaretta Clark, Press-Scimitar
staff writer, which appeared in
the March oath issue OF that daily
newspaper published in Memphis.
I hope every one Of the readers
OF this column will read this fea-
ture by Miss Clark and become
acquainted with the contribution
DR.. Schmidt has made to HUMANE
ty.
The special education clinic was
closed on July list and at the time
Il was closed had a waiting list
Of 600 persons which has now
grown to 1000. These families
come from every part Of the state,
from other states and countries
all over the world.
On the record of accomplish
ments already attained by DR.,
schmidt I feel that the work she
inas been doing at Ole Miss Is very
worthwhile and should be con-
tinued-and that she should be
encouraged to continue the clinic.
Last reports indicated the elm
ic had been closed by university
authorities without any explana-
ton or reason gfven.
There are 5000 children in Mis-
sissippi alone who vitality need
the kind of care and attention
given at the Ole Miss clinic.
Certainly it seems that work
this important should not be
stopped without some kind OF ex-
PLANTATION forthcoming.

Addressed Jayeees A
And Dinner
Four Main Points Of
The Organization
Explained To Group

Percy L. Coleman, one of the
national Jaycee directors from
Mississippi, of vicksburg. was
guest speaker at the Lexington
Jaycee meeting and dinner at the
Alb Taylor Memorial home Mon
day evening.
After a delicious chicken dinner
served by the ladies of the VFW
Auxiliary, Emmett Reese, presi-
dent, presented Don Foster, DR.. j
Strahan, both of Jackson, and the
speaker, Mr.. Coleman.
Mr. Coleman explained to the
group the four main functions in
Guided in the program of the ma
tional Junior Chamber of Com
merce organization. "These four
main functions said Mr.. Cole
man, "are extension, manpower
procurement, leadership training
and the Hoover Commission re-
port"
Mr.. Coleman said that each To-
Zeal organization should organize
one new chapter each, and that
awards will be given to groups
most active in extension work.
There are 1900 Jaycee organiza-
tons at present and the goal for
new groups is set at $500, with a
Jaycee group in every town Of
1900 population or more.
A manpower procurement pro-
gram for the gradual increase Of
new members should produce a
sufficient influx of them to han
die the work to be done, said MI.
Coleman. "Any young man, 2l-
rs years Of age, is eligible" he
said, "and this age requirement is
not always adhered to strictly"
Leadership training is a neces-
sary follow-up program of the
previous two. Every new Jaycee
taken into the rolls this year must
receive a thorough indoctrination
into the basic principals and
ideals of this movement to get
and keep him active.
On the Hoover Commission re-
port. Mr.. Coleman said that mas
much as young men and particul-
arly Jaycees are interested in
good and better government, it is
their desire to conduct an educa-
tional program for the general
public as to the merits and adj
vantages of economizing in our
federal government practices
which win result in a more effic-
lent and economical operation to
get the recommendations of the
Hoover report enacted into law.
Don Foster, Jackson, explained
to the group the Importance Of
reactivation of the United Service
Organizations and stated that the
Jaycees could provide necessary
leadership in raising the quota for
the west half of Holmes county
in the USO fund drive.
AT the close Of the meeting,
Walter Strider spoke for the
| group in extending c~ongratula-
tions and thanks to Emmett
| Reese, president of the Jaycees,
for his leadership and contribu-
tions of time and energy in help
ing to make the Holmes County
Fair a success.
The next meeting will be Tues
day night, November %.

Nature Tukes Its Course

Any Senate majority leader needs the
prayers and the sympathies OF the people.
He is greatly maligned man. He carries
a heavy load of management RESPONSE
bility. He receives little credit, mostly
abuse. He is target for the political
shafts that flash through Senate debate
from the other side of the aisle. He must
ward them off as best he can and answer
them in kind while setting the pace for
the Senate to follow.
Wednesday was q tough day for the
Majority Leader, Senator Lucas. The
Senate killed, by what Is said to be an
unprecedented action, the concurrent
resolution emanating from the House
which would have allowed that body to
adjourn at the close of business today
until September 21 And after the vote,
the resolution itself having been un-
debatable, there was an orgy of political
recrimination, with Senator Lucas trying
to defend the sorry record of this Congress
in getting its business done. He did as
well as he could. 1t was manifestly diff
cult for him to explain his own vote for
the House resolution in view of the number
of bills still tied up in conference between
House and Senate-which need House &C
tion, as well as that of the Senate, to be-
come law.
Senator Lucas, pointing to the accumu-
lation of measures on the calendar and
in committee which still must be passed,
the inevitable time to be consumed in
debate, the time wasted already in eight
months, reminds even the sympathetic
reader of the Congressional Record of
Mr.. Mines sailor:
There tUas once an old sailor my grand
A. father kneD
Who had so many things that he
tDanted to do
That, whenever he thought it ,Uas time
to begin,
He couldn't because OF the state he
tDas in.
Senator Taft advanced the reasonable
hope of some effort by the majority lead
ership to agree on what could be done.
With a tentative date for adjournment,
Congress then would work toward that
date. But Senator Lucas has no date in
mind. He has decided to 'Let nature take
its course" AS Senator Capehart put it,
"The test of leadership is leading" But
there is no leading, and Thanksgiving and
Christmas doubtless will find the Senate
still moving slowly in circles toward some
underlined goal. All of this may be tough
on Senator Lucas and it is true that all
the responsibility Of party leadership does
not rest on him alone. But the 81st Con-
gress, regardless of who is to blame, is
giving the derided 80th the reputation of
a paragon.

Byrd Economy Begins at Home

Tradition would make it clear that a
member of Congress should demand econ
omy unless the measures attempted in
that direction injuriously affect his own
constituency. Senator Byrd'S observations
on Secretary of Defense Johnson's drastic
personnel slash of civilian employees in the
Military Establishment are, therefore, all
the more noteworthy. Said the Senator:
Virginia is second only to California in
naval installations, and the impact of
this reduction in personnel will be felt
throughout Virginia, but am assured by
my consultations with Secretary Johnson
during the period of this survey preceding
the reduction) that the action he has
taken represents fair and equitable ad-
justment in consideration of the require
ments of national defense"
He thereupon proceeded to commend
the Secretary, noting that his action "is
the first honest-to- goodness effort that
has been made toward reduction in Gov
ernment personnel during the ten years
that I have been chairman of the Joint
Committee on Reduction of Nonessential
Federal Expenditures" Observing that
the Governments deficit in this fiscal year
is increasing at the rate of $50 million
day-reaching SIT billion in the first fifty
four days-he expresses the hope that
other departments will follow Mr.. John
sons example. AS yet, however, there is
no evidence of rush to fall In line.

the Jackson Laboratory, pure-bred, may be
