Home Demonstration Agent

Throughout Mississippi and
the nation next week, April 30
through May 5, home demonstra-
ton club women will be telling
their friends and neighbors about
their activities and accomplish
ments. The $4,000 club women
of Mississippi along with their
sisters from all other states, Alas
ka, Hawaii and Puerto Rico will
be celebrating National Home De-
monstration Week.
You'll learn about health, foods.
crafts, household management, re-
creation, clothing and other home
demonstration activities through
window displays, newspaper ar
ticles, radio programs, tours, and
exhibits. Many communities will
have a new clean, scrubbed look
after community cleanup cam
paign. School and church build
ings and grounds will beckon you
to see newly handicapped lawns
and freshly painted rooms.
Believing that the basic streng-
tn of democracy lies in American
homes, the theme 'Today's Home
Builds Tomorrow's World" has
again been selected for this open
house" week. Tomorrow's world
seems more uncertain than in any
year since Home Demonstration
Week was established in 1916. The
emphasis this year is on "Today's
Home" - what it is and what
ways it can be strengthened to act
as stabilizing influence in a con-
fused world.
Mrs. Malcolm Byrnes of Ethel,
La, National Home Demonstra-
ton president, says: "As we come
to the sixth observance of Nation
al Home Demonstration Week, our
theme, 'Today's Home Builds To-
morrow's World has a deeper
meaning Tor many of us. We do
not feel the same security in our
homes as we did at this time last
year, and many have already
known the vacancies from family
firesides that have been caused by
our international crisis - Our
duty is to make every effort in
our daily tasks of homemaking to
preserve the heritage of our
American way of life as legacy
to those who come after u.s."

home demonstration women ex-
tends beyond the home. These
women take part in many COM

Henry r. Heard
Writes Home

The following letter written by
Il. Heard. R-n-347-57-10, son of
Mrs. T. w. Heard of Tchula gives
some general information of the
Nays part and accomplishment
in the Korean Situation:
Dear Polly:
We're up here at Wonsan now,
shelnhg different points around
the harbor. For a week we were
just patrolling back and forth be-
tween Kangnung and Chumun-
jim. At night we'd usually get
some targets from the army spot
tiers on shore, but it was still
pretty monotonous. Then we got
orders to come up here. Was that
a change! In our first hour and
and half, we cut loose with
276 shells and blistered the paint
right off the gun barrels on our
forward mount.
You can have that patrolling
duty, but I guess it does serve a
purpose. At least the Reds have
never been able to make another
landing behind our lines like that
one at Samchok just after the
war started. We've got all their
shipping lanes across the Yellow
Sea cut off too. We even stop
any suspicious looking junks to
make sure they're not trying to
carry in supplies that way. They
still have some highways and
railroads inland but the planes
from our carriers and the Air
| Force are keeping those pinned
down.
The ones near the coast we can
get ourselves. Most of the time
that's what we're Smelling. We've
got ships strung around the pc
ninsula now for the blockade and
they check both coasts, too. Tru-
man said our blockade was hun
dred per cent effective and il
must be true because we never
never see anything trying to get
through us anymore. And it's a
cinch nothings getting past us
on land. We've got those coast
highways and railroads all but
toned up.
It'll be a relief when spring
starts, though. Manning tn e e
guns twenty-four hours day in
zero weather is no picnic, es-
pecially with a couple inches of
ice and snow on the decks. Ii
may be true that they also serve
who only stand and wait" but,
boy, in this weather they freeze
too.

encouraged the oil and gas industry to
spend millions of dollars in the state in
developing these resources.
Mississippi's favorable attitude toward
industrial development, evidenced by the
spirit Of cooperation between government
and business and management and labor,
together with fair taxes for all, has been an
all-important factor in this development.
In such a friendly atmosphere the oil and
gas industry will continue to expand, there
by furnishing more jobs for more people,
more revenue for the state treasury and
more opportunities and advantages for
everyone.

Eakip said.
"A graduate of Friar's Point High
school, Eakin entered the service
in 1885 and was assigned to the
33rd Infantry Regiment in Pana-
ma. In 1912 he attended the Quar-
termaster Officers Candidate
School at Fort Lee, Va, and upon
gradL alton was assigned to Camp
Conley, Va.
His next assignment was the
Delta Service Command in Egypt
where he served for three and
one-half years in Middle East
countries.
He returned to the u. S. in l945
and served at the Memphis Gen.
eral Depot before taking an ad-
vanced course in quartermaster
supply and administration at Fort
Lee.
When the 3rd Division was re-
activated in 1913 at Fort Ben
ming, Ga, Capt. Eakin was as
signed as personnel officer of Di-
vision Artillery Headquarters.
After joining the Third, Eakin
took part in Operation Portrex in
1850, an amphibious operation
that included $4,000 soldiers, sail
ors and airmen, before the Third
entered the Korean conflict where
it has been in action the last five

Continued from Page 81

1t is Lipsky's view that in the
last ten years Ben Gurion has
developed remarkably. He is an
''astute political lie der with a
consciousness of mystic forces"
asked LipskY what he meant
by Ben Gurion having a mystic
consciousness. LipskY explained
by telling me of a meeting of
Zionist leaders not so long ago.
Speakers rose and argue d that
Israel was pursuing an unwise
policy in trying to bring in 2oo.-
600 Jews a year.
The state cannot stand the
strain. Wouldn't it be better, it
was argued, to go slower. What
good will it be if you bring in all
these people and by the speed
bring ruination about the state.
Ben Gurion rose to reply. He
spoke of the need of filling out
the population of the state. He
frequently used the term Hash
gacha (fate). He felt. one could
see. that in this matter the usual
arguments and logic were to be
dispensed with.
And the strange part about it
was that everyone more or less
felt it was useless to argue with
him and gave in.
He had apparently the. same
feeling of Hashgacha when the
matter Of proclaiming the indie
pendence of the State came up.
We recall that many of the lead
ers were very hesitant. Not so,
Ben Gurion. He insisted on the
boldest policy.
He is a little impatient, I gather
from Mr. Lipsky, but perhaps that
is what the Jews need today. The
Jews were patient for very long
stretch of time.
He is a fluid personality. says
LipskY. He started out as So
cialist and Zionist. but if he had
any doctrinnaire Marxism. it has
long evaporated out of his system.
He sees only one thing-the Jew
ish State. Anyone who can be
helpful to that objective. is good
to him. He is indifferent to the
mans background. to the mans
class. to the mans partY-if he is
helpful to the Jewish State. he is
a good man to Ben Gurion. and
he praises him.

means it."
