Religion In American Life

During the month of November t~wenty-one country
wide religious groups, as well as local religious
bodies, are uniting to emphasize Religion in Amer1cna Lie.
This drive is undertaken in the belief and conviction that
never was there a time when spiritual values were more es-
sential to our nation than they are today, and that, in addl-
ton to stressing Americas political and economic values,
we must emphasize the need for keeping our religious in
stitutions strong, SO that we may better defend all OF our
freedoms.
The war in which the United States is now engaged is
the nearest thing to a religious war that this country has
ever fought.
More and more as the war of ideas" goes on between
Russian. and the United States, thinking people are clarity
ing their ideas about the basic principles of democracy and
finding that they are the same principles
Christianity holds sacred - belief in human dig
nifty and the supreme worth of the individual personality.
Communism, in denying these principles, becomes the enemy
not only of democracy but also of the Christian Church. And
If anything good proceeds from the theological war between
Democracy and Communism, it will be the new and clearer
insight into the meaning and Importance of the Democratic
State and the Christian Church that American people gain
from thinking out" what they oppose in Communism and
why. The ideas Of Communism are the most elusize and at
the same time most dangerous enemy we face-that is clear
" evidenced by the insidious infiltration of communistic
thinking into our top political groups. Such an enemy can
only be fought by clear, straightforward thinking.
During this period of emphasis on Religion in American
Life, go to the church of your choice, think about what
teaches and about what life in a state that ig-
nores spiritual values would be like. Such honest thought will
make stronger Christians and stronger citizens of a demo-
cratic state.

Holmes County Bar
.Favors Amendment
To The Voters OF Holmes County:

We desire to present for YOU
consideration the following facts
regarding the proposed constltu'
tional amendment to be voted up
on in the General Election or
November z, 1850, whereby the
Supreme Court of Mississippi.
would be increased from six tc
nine members.
Until the year 1916 the Supreme
| Court of Mississippi consisted OF
three judges, when, by reason OF
the States growth and enlarged
volume of work before the Court,
the membership of the Court Was
by Constitutional Amendment
duly approved by the voters, IN
creased to six.
For the past "a years the Courts
membership has remained at SIX.
However, because of Mississlpprs
expanding economic development
and the discovery of oil and gas
in our State, the work of the
judges has become so great that
the Court is now running about
one year behind with its Eases.
To help relieve the ABOVE situa-
ton, the Legislature, at its last
session, passed an act creating
three Supreme Court Commits
sioners, and also adopted the a.
bove mentioned Constitutional
Amendment to be voted on by the
people on November 7, 1850, so
as to increase the Court to nine
judges.
If a majority of those voting
vote in favor of the Amendment
then the three Commissioners will
be succeeded by three judges to
be elected by the people. AS the
three Commissions are now re-
ceiving the same salary as the
three elected judges would e
ceive, the approval of the amend
ment will not result in any in
creased cost to the State.
Because we believe that the
best interest of our state govern
ment and to the people of Mis-
sissippi, we, the undersigned
members of the Holmes County
Bar, earnestly urge our fellow
Holmes County voter to go the
polls on next Tuesday, November
7th, and vote in favor of the "a
mendment.
Respectfully,

Saigon Fears U. 5. Aid
Will Be insufficient
BY the Assoeiated Press

SAIGON, Indo-China, May 13.
Announcement that American
aid will be furnished to French
Wet Namese forces fighting Com
munist-led Wet Mimi in Indo-
China has so far evoked no great
enthusiasm in this Wet Namese
capital. 4 ..... ..
Considerable satisfaction has
been expressed by both the Wet
Namese government and in
French circles that definite State
Department commitment has been
made. But the fear here in off,
cial quarters is that the extent of
American aid will be insufficient
to affect the increasingly precari-
GUS situation.
The semi official French news
paper journal de- Extreme Orient
expressed the general government
sentiment when it described as a
drop of water" present American
aliocations. ns-----'"r''~''a'9s- '9s-''"'''''r''~'' q"
The newspaper named $500 mil
lion as an absolute minimum
needed in American aid. The
United States Congress has ap-
propriated $75 million to fight
communism in the Far East. The
bulk Of this is earmarked for
1ndo-C China.
The French are welcoming the
initial military aid despite it's
limited nature.
