new SCHEDULE
OF CHARGES ON
MONTHLY BILLS
Bluffton Patrons Get First
Notice of Change in Billing
Wednesday
Monthly Increase i'm Rates Will
Range from so Cents to
$3.50

The State Public Utilities Com
mission has granted the increase in
rates sought by the Bluffton Tele-
phone company and patrons who re-
ceived their monthly statements in
the mail Wednesday morning were
billed at the higher rate.
First news of action of the COM
mission in Columbus came when
official word to that effect was re-
ceived by Mayor w. A. Howe and
read at the town council meeting
Monday night.
The telephone company's current
billing for the month of June at the
higher rate followed action of the
commission dated May 81, making
possible the June billing at the
advanced schedule.
Manager Here Not Advised
Maurice Mahoney, local manager
for the company's properties here
said that he had received no word of
action in regard to the higher rates
until he received copies of the month
ly billing Wednesday morning.
Findings of the commission stated
that the rate increase is justified
since the previous changes were ain
sufficient 10 provide the applicant
Telephone company with an ade-
quate return on the value of its prop
erty used and useful in the furnish
ing Of said service.
Present rates show an increase in
monthly Billing from so cents for
residential users on four-party lines
to a boost of $3.50 for business
places, an increase from 25 TO 83
per cent.
New Rate Schedule
New rates now in effect (not in
GLIDING federal excise taxi are:
One party line-Business Sc; for
merly $3.50.
Two party line-Business $3.50;
formerly So.
One party line-Residence $3.50;
formerly s2.25.
Four party line-Residence $3.50;
formerly So.
Rural party line-Business, $3.50;
formerly $3.50.
Rural party line-Residence, $3.50;
formerly 50.
Altho there was widespread objec-
ton from patrons who signed petit
tions claiming that the poor service
facilities provided by the company
did not justify the advance rates, the
town council was advised by City
Solicitor John Romey that this would
not be factor in the decision of the
state commission.
The commissions decision, Romey
pointed out, would be based entirely
on a study of invested capital of the
utility and its rate of earnings.
At the hearing held by the COM
mission in Columbus on May %,
there were no representatives of
Bluffton groups opposed to the rate
boost.

Prices Irk Cherry Grower;
Orders Trees Cut Down

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.-George
Washington, so legend says, cut
down n cherry tree. Fred E. Reed
of Sutton's Bay did better than that,
however. He ordered workers to cut
down his orchard of $50 trees.
1t all came about when Reed was
offered only 4 cents a pound for his
crop of Michigan sour cherries.
'I'n clear the ground and raise
Strawberries" Reed declared flat
ly.
Last years crop of Michigan sour
cherries brought 9 cents a pound.
Packers are offering q cents for
this years early crop, but promised
growers additional payment (possi-
bly, up to 3 cents a pound) later if
the price of the processed pack
warrants it.
But Reed isn't interested in sub
sidy prices.
when l can't raise cherries and
make a profit without depending on
price supports I'll quit growing

The only trees he left standing
were a few for his personal use

So Persons Die in Crash
OF DC-4 in Lake Michigan

ST. JOSEPH, Mich. About 1s
miles northwest of st. Joseph, at
the bottom of Lake Michigan, is
the remains of a giant DC-4 which
crashed and carried So persons to
their death in the worst air dis
aster in the nations history.
1t probably will never be known
what caused the crash. Debris
scattered over the area indicated a
tremendous crash or explosion.
Most pieces of wreckage were no
more than inches square.
Searchers found hundreds of
pieces Of the foam rubber cushions.
Coastguardsmen, using boat hooks,
fished wreckage from the lake.
They brought up a pair of brown
wool trousers, the pockets empty
and the buckle ripped from the belt.
There were some flight kits, maps
bearing the name of Northwest Air
lines, a mans white handkerchief,
a bank book of the National City
Bank of New York, a green jacket
of a woman's dress, a mans shorts
and parts of bodies.
Among the debris was a child's
shoes and a little girls rag doll. The
doll was one of the few things that
came out of the crash complete and
intact.
Disintegration must have been
complete when the plane struck the
water. That was all that remained
of a giant, proud airliner.

My difficulties were my husband S
family, to which he was closely
tied-and my own mother, who
came to live with us a few months
after the wedding.
II won't try to say which side
of the family was a greater prob
lem. My mother is right in our
home. That, of course, brings it
close. But my husband under
stood before we married that we
would have to provide home for
her-in fact, it was he who sug-
geSted 1t.
Let me take his family first.
Even though he is 80, it seemed
they have always expected him to
report to them on everything he
does or plans. I took it for granted
that they always expected us to
celebrate festivals with them.
Last Christmas I finally got up
courage to rebel. My husband
assured me that they would be
broken-hearted if we did not 60 to

U. N. Shruqs0ffCost
In Voting Paris Session

FLUSHING MEADOW, N. Y,
Dec. Is (CDN) Latin American
countries have overturned econ
omy considerations in the United
Nations and voted to hold the next
General Assembly meeting in
Paris instead of New York.
Moving the U. MS personnel to
Paris next September would cost
an estimated 100000 more than
it would cost to hold the session
here. Paris, to date, has refused
to offer any free rent concessions
to get the meeting.
Andrew Cordier, assistant Sec
retary-general, will make a trip
to the French capital next month
to survey possibilities. The SEES
sion last year was held in Paris,
but another survey is deemed wise.
Foreign Minister Zafrullah
Khan of Pakistan, a Moslem, who
neither smokes nor drinks, spoke
against the move. He said it
would be nice for the delegates
wives but scarcely worth the
added cost.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, one of
the United States delegates, whis-
pered to Zafrullah Khan after the
meeting
Il agree with you. But don't
tell the ladies that I am opposed
to Paris"

THEATRICAL
DATA

NEW YORK CITY-Hya folks
We're on the reviewing stand this
week.
After II years, Jack Kirkland
returned to the 48th Street Theatre
with a revival Of his brain child.
Tobacco Road" this time he
shaded it with an all-Negro cast,
headed by Powell Lindsay, Mer-
cedes Gilbert and Evelyn Ellis. In
cidentally, Miss Ellis staged it.
But there is one thing Mr.. Kirk
land forgot while he was consider
ing the revival of Tobacco Road"
with an all-Negro cast, and that
is the Negro in America, and all
over the world for that matter.
is a problem of Society, chiefly be-
cause he is not accepted with full
human honors as that of his white
brothers. And because of this omis-
sion, he may be forgiven for the
latest exposure Of squalor, lechery
and submarine comedy Of poor
sharecropping family of Negroes
in Georgia, who might not ever rise
above the lowest of low economic
conditions without facing tn e
strongest of opposition to White
Supremacy.
There is an urge to tone down
the squalid antics of filth and
CRIME in the latest production,
making it less respondent with
the excellent performances which
marked the introduction of the
original setting. Powell Lindsay as
Jeeter Lester is more often less
convincing than real, and never
seems to find himself fully in the
squalorous part. Jimmy Wright a.
dapts himself we'll in the part of
Dude Lester, Evelyn Ellis as Ada
Lester shows a strong revolving
strength amid the dirt and de-
graduation, and Mercedes Gilbert as
Sister Bessie is excellent, though
she appears to be less forward in
her role as the hungry man lover.
There are other performances that
deserve high comment, including,
Estelle Hershey as Grandma, John
Tate as Low Bensev, Cherokee
Thornton as Henry Peabody.
Mr.. Kirkland's lakewood cOun-
try saga served well during the de,
preston when the change of eco
Monies was marked by a process of
liberal action; when the exposure
of CRIME in one third of the nation
was a grim realism. But today,
when one-tenth of the nation is
struggling for full recognition as
first class citizens, a Tobacco
Road" with an all-Negro cast may
be less impelling amid such lofty
aspirations.

The Attala County Crime And
Capital Punishment

Up at Kosicusko the sensational Attala County kill
erS trial reached its climax Tuesday when Leon Turner
whom the evidence indicated as the chief actor in the
brutal and unprecedented crime, given life sem
tence.
1t seems trte to ask what would have happened
to the triO-and perhaps to other members of their
fames-had the actors and victims in the case been
the reverse
In looking at the results of the trial though, one
thing about the crime that violates the eternal admoni
tion THOU SHALT NOT KILL is the fact that killers
able to escape the punishment of their consci
and thus the guilty because of conscience con-
tnually the subject of Gods punishment which in the
light of the eternal admonition THOU SHALT NOT
KILL, is mmutabe and Interchangeable
In the above sense of viewing the Attala County
Crime it would appear that the punishment thus melted
out will prove to be- to the guilty. even worse than the
punishment of death.
But what about the conscience of the state? To the
question that may ask Does the state have con-
science? In support of affirmative answer we point
to the fact when the Alfalfa crime made known it
aroused the condemnation and demand for speedy pun
shment by the States Chief Executive the Legislature
and Public Opinion of the state.
Taking Shakespeares classic expression, which he
puts into the mouth of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark:
THUS CONSCIENCE DOES MAKE EDWARDS OF US
ALL; 1t that with the trial and the punishment
given the Attaa County Killers in order that the state
escape the punishment of being continually made cow
ard it's conscience 1t should be everywhere recog
rfzed by Mississippi Citizens that the time has to
remove the penalty of capital punishment from the
laws of the State.
