round holes. The result is no one
concerned is happy or satisfied -
employer or employee.
I would like to add that the
normal human desire for security
cannot be given anyone - to-
days graduates or our oldest citi-
zens. What represents security
today may mean less than nothing
tomorrow Or in the future.
Security of the individual comes
from within - and that perhaps
is something we all need to learn.
No one else can do it for US.
Along these lines / would like
to repeat the admonition of DR..
Cook to our Holmes graduates
the vital need of today for spirit
ual power in the life of the indi-
vidual.
THE educated person must give
concentrated attention to spiritual
things spiritual power is a
great integrator in life, bringing
new life and personality" he said.
We all need, he emphasized, the
spiritual wing-power" to depend
! upon for the Illustrations, disap-
pointments and despair that in
evitably comes to everyone some
time or another in his life.
1.-THE greatest strength a per
son may have is this inner spir-
itual power" the educator said.
Another warning sounded to
today's graduates should be echo
ed throughout this land - the
greatest existing threat to the
American people today = the
taking away of Individual initia-
tive. We need today, as never
before, to realize the more we let
anyone, particularly the govern
, ment, do for us, the more freedom
we lose. u
If today's young people Will
| early start to stand upon their
| own feet - not looking to a bene-
ficient government for doubtful
security - and continue to grow
Intellectually after formal studies
! cease there will be a much bright
!! err tomorrow for them and for flu
ture generations.

'Iife's Duties Is
Senior Sermon Topic

"Conquering Lies Response
bilities' was the subject of the
commencement sermon preached
by the Rev. Hayes Clark at IL a.
NJ. Sunday at First Baptist
church, to the 1851 Lexington
High School Senior class. "A large
congregation of parents and frien-
DIS were present. AS back
ground for his sermon the Rev.
Mr.. Clark told that Jonah ran
for his duty, Moses shirked it,
and PLATE tried to dodge it.
Many persons fail to succeed
simply because they will not as
sumo responsibility" the Rev. Mr..
Clark asserted. Modern youth
faces a grace danger Tin that he
has entered into the achieve
ment of the ages without cost to
himself. He has heard of the
phenomenal success of Horatio
| Alger heroes and thinks he can
make it Just like that Disap-
pointment comes and he is not
prepared to take it."
The Rev. Mr.. Clark stated that
the 40-hour week has spoiled man
into expecting something for no.
thing" stating that success of the
past was brought by toll, labor,
sacrifice. Edison made 100000 ex-
periments for lights. Marco Polo.
Livingston and Stevenson made
names for themselves by adver-
sity and suffering, the Rev. Mr.,
Clark averred, declaring that the
American heritage of freedom in
religion and government has been
blood bought with great sacrt-
flee" and labor. Should these
| blessings be let go by default
the American people do not de-
serve to have them.
Beyond the material achieve
ments won by labor and persev-
erance are those spiritual qualities
which determine character, the
Rev. Mr. Clark stated, asserting
that "here again nothing but by
labor" We were made to develop
God-like characteristics. To win
| great material success and lose
in character building Is vain"
Addressing himself to the
! graduating class, the Rev. Mr.
Clark cautioned, you young peo'
pie must work and worship, you
must cherish your heritage, yor
must not run from responsibility
as did Jonah. Life's success i:
precious because of victorie:
brought about with nothing but
by labor"

Roebuck Retires-Issues Warning

Chairman Sidney T. Roebuck is retiring from the Mis-
Sfssippi State Highway Commission after fourteen years
&C active and faithful service.
In issuing his retirement statement Commissioner
Roebuck cautions the people of Mississippi and this dis
fy5ct to be one the lookout for special interest groups VINO
may want to get control of the Highway Department.
Particularly, Mr.. Roebuck said, there are a few
heavy haulers in the state who have no regard for the
reople of the state and who have no regard for the people
Nf fine state and who are bent on making all the money they
can quickly, and who would, if permitted, continue to tear
up the peoples roads and then fight any effort to get suf-
flcient funds to rebuild them"
We feel certain Mr.. Roebuck would not have issued
.sach a sharp warning to the people of his district without
adequate information and knowledge of an existing danger.
The attention of all readers and electors is directed
TO this warning to make certain his elected successor gives
10 the post the same faithful discharge of duty and respon-
sibiity to the people that has marked Mr.. Roebuck's tenure
nf office.
