IUKA TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL
AWARD IN CEREMONIES JULY 9Th

The spotlight of national atten.
tion will focus on the northeast
Mississippi town Of Iuka, popula-
tion 1900, on july 9th when citi-
zens and statewide leaders join
in celebrating the towns recent
victory in a national Build A
Better Community" contest.
Iuka recently was awarded the
$4,000 sweepstakes prize for the
most outstanding job of commune
ty development in national con-
test sponsored by the National
Federation Of Women's Clubs.
Credit for the community pro-
ject goes to the sixteen members
of the Twentieth Century Club, an
active group of Iuka women who
for Is years have been working to
improve the town in which they
live.
They will be the center of at
tention on "Iuka Day" July 9Th.
Leaders from all over Mississip-
pi, headed by Governor Wright,
are expected to join in the cele-
bration.
The Club, which has shown
other communities throughout the
state what can be done through
cooperation, perseverance n d
work, plans to spend the $4,000
winnings on new Community
House for the town.
Iuka received the honor on the
basis of program which includ-
ed the following projects:
/. Establishment of an eve. ear.
nose and throat clinic for child
ren.
2. Conducting city-wide clean
up campaign.
8. Encouraging of the installa-
tion of dial telephone system.
4. Securing of new playground
facilities for city school.
8. S ecuringo g of playground
equipment for city park.
Organized In 1895, the Club has
during the past Is years raised
hundreds of dollars for its projects
through holding of pie suppers,
dances, concerts, exhibits and vari-
Gus community forms of entertain
ment.
Situated in the extreme north
east corner of Mississippi, the
pleasant, tree-shaded little town of
Iuka developed from a former
Chickasaw Indian village follow
ing location of the old Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, now the
Memphis branch Of the Southern
Railroad.
The community grew rapidly.
Churches, buildings, female col
lege, boys military academy and
fine hotel were constructed, and
Iuka became prosperous settle
ment of fine homes.
The War Between The States,
however, brought opposing forces
to the little town. and in one ma
jor engagement there between 1900
and 1900 soldiers were killed or
wounded during three skirmishes
within the city limits. Practically
all the homes and business build
ings were transformed into emer-
gency hospitals.
Ante-bellum prosperity did not
return to Iuka Immediately after
the war and for more than a gen.
Grafton the town saw little activity.
Today 1t depends heavily on farm
ing and extensive gravel deposits
which are commercially developed.
The recent building of Pickwick
Dam has also brought new life to
the city.
One of it's outstanding attrac-
tions is the Iuka Mineral Springs.

Mo- Skipper Asked
For Course ; Times,
Quartermaster Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

NORFOLK, Va, April IA
Navy court martial heard testi-
mony today that in the last two
minutes before the battleship
Missouri ran aground the skipper
vainly yelled" three demands
at the navigator for a course rec
ommendation.
Chief QuartermaSter Leslie
Reams, testifying as a prosecution
witness at the trial of the navi-
gator. 1t. Comdr. Frank G. Nor
ris, jr.. said Capt. William D.
Brown yelled three or four times:
Navigator, what is my next
course?'"
Chief Reams said he did not
hear Comdr. Morris recommend a
course until the Mighty Mo"
hit the shoal."
Recalls Conversations.
He admitted under cross-ex-
animation. however. that Comdr.
Morris and Capt. Brown held
several conversations and it was
possible the navigator made
course recommendation at those
times.
In testimony last month before
the naval court of inquiry which
probed the grounding, Comdr.
Morris and others testified the
navigator had made four recon-
mendations to Capt. Brown that
the ship be turned to the right to
avoid shoal water.
Comdr. Morris has pleaded not
guilty to the charges on which
he is being tried-neglect Of duty
and culpable inefficiency in the
performance Of duty.
The Missouri's former opera
tions officer, Comdr. John r. Mil
lett, is standing trial by court
martial on charges of negligence
and neglect of duty. He has
pleaded guilty to charges of neg
ligence and neglect Of duty Thurs
day before a third court martial
and threw himself on the mercy
OF the court.
Results Of the three trials will
not be made public until the trials
Of Comdr. Morris and Millett are
completed.
Fathometer Out of Order.
Only one witness besides Chief
Reams testified at Comdr. Morris
trial today. He was Seaman Ap-
prentice Harold L. Beeman, fatho-
meter recorder on the Missouri
when the ship ran aground in
Chesapeake Bay January II.
He testified the fathometer (de-
vice for measuring water depths)
stopped operating January II
shortly after the battleship left
her pier at the Norfolk naval base
He did not report this to anyone
he said, as he thought the fatho-
meter would begin operating again
In short while.
He added that no one asked
him for fathometer readings be-
fore the grounding.

A balky stock market and disap-
pointment in some quarters over

sales were the principal unfavor-
able factors.
Income Spent Ahead.
Analysts were split concerning
reasons for the failure of the
ladies to rush into department
stores and buy lot of Easter
f1nery thus far. Some thought it
was because too much of the cur
rent family income was being
spent on such hard goods" as
automobiles. television sets. wash
ers, furniture and electric appli-
ances, leaving little for anything
else except the most essential
items.
Others thought combination
of unfavorable weather plus a
tendency to postpone the major
buying spree until the last minute,
accounted for the fact that retail
sales for the country as a whole
were barely even with the previ-
GUS week and averaged 4 per cent
under a year ago. This group be-
lieves last-minute squirt in sales
may take up much of the slack

choice of 748
Four subjects were completely
neglected by prospective teachesr
in I949- sociology, political
&cienee, nursing and Italian The
subject of religious education in
