In well informed Church Circles,
and among its recognized leaders
in the state, both among the Clergy
and Laymen, the solid unitv behind
the Candidacy Of Rev. Hair for
Bishop is not only a recognition Of
his outstanding abilities as
Church leader and administrators,
but come also as a result of the
fact that as a state Mississippi
has had no recognition from the

Dr. Otis set forth the detectives
of the College and of the annual
conference Eve are trying to
carry out program here that will
enable our graduates to contribute
more effectively to the development
Of the resources Of this state" DR..
Otis pointed out.
And he said he hoped the occa-
sion would give the Governor, the
Board, and the people Of the State
an opportunity to observe what is
being done and what additional fa-
cilities are needed to do a better
job.
The buildings dedicated by r. B.
Smith, Jr., chairman Of the Board
Of Trustees, included a 1921 900 ag-
ricultural building, 100000 dining
hall, $45,000 laundry, $4,000 meat
laboratory and abattoir, $4,000
dairy, $4,000 in cottages for teach
ers, and $1,000 worth Of plumbing
and heating installations. In addi-
ton, funds have been approved for
100000 home economics build
ing, $4,000 soft water well, and.
$1,000 for a natural gas line. And
anticipated for next years budget
are funds for a 100000 addition
to the girls dorimtory facilities
and $375,000 for a physical educa-
tion building and athletic field.
During the day, the conferees

land. Within the last two years,
$50 acres have been put into i'm
proved pastures for the schools 1876
head Of beef and dairy cattle, 135
head of hogs, and Al sheep. In
line with the trend toward increased
livestock production, the college is
placing greater emphasis on pas
ture development. Within five
years, DR.. Otis expects to have 300
acres of improved pastures.
A feature of the program was
the citing of faculty members for
years of service. Both Mrs. Alice

3honored by President Emeritous P.
Is. Bowles for "A years of service,
and Professor J. H. Moslev for

MUCH WORK ON
STATE ROADS
FOrty-Six Projects Costing
S1O,5OO,OOO One of Highway
Dept. Most Active Years
DUAL HIGHWAY WORK

The State Highway Department
will have completed one of the
most active years in the thirty-five
years since the department has
been created during the present fis-
cal year which closes on June Both.
A total of forty-six projects, hav-
ing a total cost of about SIC, $780,
10000 will have been handled dur
ing this fiscal year and the pro-
jects cover about every type of
construction and maintenance
handled by the department. Ac-
cording to R. A. Haber, Chief En-
gineer of the Department who di-
rected this vast program, the con-
tracts awarded by the department
during this fiscal year provided for
reconstruction and improvement of
existing highways as well as the
construction of new highways. Mr..
Haber pointed out that the con-
tracts handled by the department
during the year would cover al
most 100 miles of highway and of
this total the dual highway system
I'm the state has been increased
about so per cent. In addition to
the highway work placed under
contract, Mr.. Haber explained that
the maintenance operation provid-
ed for the surface treatment and
improving of about rs miles of
highways in various portions of the
state. AS a result of the contracts
either finished or placed during the
fiscal year all of the construction
work through new locations to
make U. S. Route 13 a dual high
way for the entire length of the
state will have been completed.
Construction of a single lane for
about 16 miles is all that remains
to make this a complete dual or
divided roadway. Likewise numer-
Gus projects were provided to put
into effect the departments plan
of making certain highways enter
ing or going through Wilmington
arterial highways on a metropoli-
tan basis. These projects include
the improvement of Maryland Ave,
Concord Pike and the 43rd Street
Extension in and around Whining
ton. Also not listed in record for
the year is the building of streets
in suburban developments which,
although paid for by the developers
is being done under the supervision
and direction of the department.
The record for the immediate fiscal
year shows that in 1950-51 there
were 36.487 miles of roadway pro-
jects handled at a cost of $685.
499, while in the 194S-50 fiscal
year the record was 67.404 miles of
roads, almost all reconstruction
having total cost of $6,797, ,274.

ideal of the Brownie Scout. Sup
plementing the teachings of the
home, the school, and the church,
the Brownie troop gives this So
ciable individual an opportunity to
express herself freely and without
the strain of competition, but al

BUYING FOR 1852
review of the 1851 price trends will help to
make clear the trends for 1852. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics Composite Wholesale Index" at
the end of 1851 was but a fraction higher than at
the end of 1850. The first quarter of 1851 saw an
advance in prices of 419o to an all-tme high in
March. This was followed by $3.50 decline. This
pattern has thus far continued through 1852
No doubt the Korean truce talks have encOur-
aged conservative buying. The administration must,
however, because of the coming elections, continue
to stimulate businessmen if artifciay. The Dem
ocrats cannot afford any letdown in the demands for
materials, merchandise or labor so don't be fright
ened by any nonsense out of Washington look
for no more panicky buying ahead. The urge to
save will increase and the urge to buy will de-
crease. This should help make your 53-cent dollar

PATRONIZE HONEST LOCAL MERCHANTS
The stability of the past few months is un-
doubtedly due to many causes primarily to the fact
that the people have at last developed intelligent
buying habits. Don't let anybody panic you into
buying because they say the article they sell will
soon come into short supply. The chances are this
will not be So Buy from reputable local merchants
whom you know and trust. Any sales organization
which resorts to scare selling is encouraging nde-
ton, and imitation may become a more deadly enemy
than Soviet Russia Also remember that whole
sale prices have declined considerably the past few
weeks and this should ultimately help consumers

THE TRAGEDY OF TRUMAN

Louis Bromfeld, the well-knOwn author,
has put his finger upon the real tragedy Of
Truman the President. In the Cleveland
Plain Dealers, Bromfield points out that 'at
last in the White House there is battled,
hurt, angry, vindictive little man who strikes
out at his real friends and protects his cheap
and corrupt companions. He attacks the
press wholesale and without discrimination
But the cheap and corrupt friends form
a guard around him, shielding him from pub
lie opinion, fattering him, giving him bad
and dishonest advice. The tragedy for the
American people is that their President
seems no longer able to distinguish what is
right from wrong, that he believes his duty
is toward the cheap politicians rather than
the American people"
This is tragic. And it is dangerous. Who
knows whether, perhaps in fit OF temper
perhaps for lack of sound advice and sound
judgment, the President might plunge this
Nation into another World War? Who knows
when another Korean tragedy might be en-
acted-again without consulting and OBJ
tanning the consent of the Congress.
The events in New Hampshire, the hui
initiating defeat at the hands Of Senator Ke-
fauver and the Reputation of the Admins
tration are not calculated to reassure those
who know how Mr.. Truman reacts to OppO-
sitiOn.
In these troubled times, the Nation cries
aloud for man, who as BrOmfield SAYS
SHOULD be a man of distinction, of education
of experience, of wisdom. Lincoln was one
thing. Harry S. Truman is quite another

PANIC BUYING
During 1861, manufacturers were urging the
public to buy or else be sorry! TeevsiOn an
especially good example. What happened? Many
manufacturers unable to find dynamic leadership in
Washington with an intelligent plan for Korea plan
ned for the worst-a long and critical short
ages. They made much at such pace and
at such high prices that shelves and warehouses
became loaded.
At first the gullible panicked into buying
Again, teevisiOns good example. The more
thoughtful waited. Shortages failed to materialize
Buyer psychology changed, Consumers stopped lis
tening to advertisements and stopped buying Con-
sumers did what the President and Disable and all
the rest of the government hierarchy couldn't dO,
halted the price rise and the infationary spiral!
CONSUMPTION RATES
One of the greatest periods in our production
history was 195O-51 We made annually SO
billions worth of goods and services. Even when
taking into account inflated prices, this figure rep
resents the greatest physical volume produced
by our country, topping the years of 1912
43. But people failed to buy these goods although
they were financially able to do So Sales resistance
developed sharply in textiles and most consumer
durabes in radio and televsion, major appliances,
furniture, carpets, household goods, and automO-
biles.
Because of this sales resistance, for example,
500 fewer radio and television sets were produced
in the last half of 81 as in the period in so;

THE POLITICAL POT BOILs

AS the old saying has it, one swallow
doesn't make a summer. By the same token,
one primary doesn't determine the fate of
the aspirants for the Presidency. But the
results in New Hampshire threw the whole
political situation into an upheaval, and made
it certain that from now until the bitter end
the campaign will be grueling, nO-hOlds-bar-
red affairs.
General EisenhOwer's sweep of the states
14-vOte delegation gave his cause shot i'm
the arm that it sorely needed. 1t was much
more conclusive than his supporters had
dared to hope for-indeed, shortly before the
preferential primary some seasoned political
observers thought it possible that Taft would
beat him or that, at best, his margin of VIC
tory would be very small. The Eisenhower
campaign is still none too well organized
too many political amateurs have been try
ing to get into the act, and there has been
no effective, centralized direction. The pro-
fessionals on his side, such as the able Sena-
tor Lodge, will now try to move mountains
to remedy that 1t is one of the political
facts of life that no amount of popular sup
port lis satisfactory substitute for first
class organization. After all, you have to
get the nomination before you can be elected.
That the New Hampshire outcome was a
serious setback for Senator Taft goes with
out saying. He had intimated that he expect
ed to win about of the states Ia votes. His
campaign leaders had hoped for several more.
Yet he got none. This is powerful stimu-
liant to those in the Eisenhower camp and
elsewhere who argue that Taft is fine vote
getter in Ohio but nowhere else. The Taft
adherents reply that New Hampshire was
Eisenhower ground ali along, that Taft did
not have the time to effectively stump the
rural areas where Eisenhower ran the
strongest, and that it was not true sample
Of sentiment on the national level
In some respects, Senator Kefauver's up
set win over President Truman in New Hamp-
shire was the most stunning thing that has
happened yet in the political arena. Kefauv-
er is a very junior senator and until he head
ed the crime investigation he was virtually
unknown outside Of the South. To many sea-
soned pOliticios, he is something of an up
start. The established Democratic machine in
New Hampshire went straight down the line
for Mr.. Truman and it is almost a law Of
politics, that, in a primary, the machine is
unbeatable. Yet Kefauver won handily. The
Senator said that he does not regard this as
evidence of anti-Truman sentiment, but as
evidence of the voters desire for new faces.
Others are not so charitabie-they think
kefauver won because Of widespread revul-
