cost you $522 = and in the fall

The countrywide free medical
eye examination program was
launched in Holmes county late
last month when schools, clubs,
and civic organizations were con-
tacted for assistance in making
appointments all over the coun-
ty for examinations by the mobile
unit when it is in their localities.
This program is the first of its
type in the nation. Only three
Mississippi counties are to be Of
fered this free service in efforts
to determine the prevalence and
type Of eye defects and diseases.
There is another preventive eff
fort to seek corrective measures
through which an intensive sight
conservation program might be
instituted in Mississippi and in
the nation.
The free medical eye examina-
ton program is to be offered to
all ages and races in Holmes coun-
ty. An extensive educational pro-
gram with organized groups, in
terested individuals and the press
encourage people from all walks
of life to take advantage of these
free examinations.
Although the service will not
give treatment for eye defects,
it is planned to be of value in
detecting eye diseases and de-
fects of which people themselves
may not be awa are.
Recent statistics on blindness
have aroused the medical pro-
fession to find why so many per-
sons suffer this tragedy. In Mis-
sissippi alone, there are approx
mately 1000 totally blind, yet
about half of these cases could
have been prevented if physi-
sicians had been consulted in time.
The project is financed by pri-
vate funds and by the Depart
ment of Ophthalnology of Tulane
Medical School and by state and
county health departments.

Duront Methodist Men
Ask Sheriff Byrd
For Law Enforcement
Durant, Mississippi
November 26, 1852
Sheriff Richard F. Byrd
Lexington, Mississippi
Dear Sheriff Byrd:

Lexington, MISSISSIPPI
Dear Sheriff Byrd:
You will recall that the Mems
Bible Glass of the Methodist
Church of Durant, back during
the spring, wrote to you COM
mending your law enforcement
activities in and around Duiant,
in causing a number of bootleg
ger" establishments to close, and
curtaillng the sale Of whiskey in
this area. Your actions and atti-
tude at that time were certainly
commendable.
However, it has come to our at
tention that in recent weeks at
least two establishments where
whiskey is sold have been Ie-
opened, in this area, and that
there are now a number of ,lch
establishments flourishing. We
feel that you have both the power
and authority to cause these es-
Establishments to close, as you ha e
certainly shown in the past that
the same could be done. The sale.
of whiskey is a violation of the
law, and we certainly believe in
strict law enforcement, as you
stated you did in the summer
Of 1851. We call your attention
to statements made by you then,
in a speech at the Park in Du-
rant, that you promised to stop
the sale of whiskey and make
Durant and Holmes County de-
cent place within which to raise
our families.
We further cali your attention
to your statement made in 'The
Durant News" on January 10,
1852, on the front page, stating
among other things as follows:
20. AS stated in my candi-
dacy for this office, l prom
ised the people of Holmes
County that I would RAID
again and again, places SELL
ing Intoxicating Liquor.
Gambling Dives" and places
of ILLEGAL repute. All
such places are hereby mott
fled to close up NOW and
STAY CLOSED"
We are earnestly and sincerely
requesting that you do all within
your power and authority to raid
and arrest those persons selling
whiskey, and close those estab-
llshments selling same.
Yours Very Truly,
The Mems Bible Glass,
The Methodist Church of

The cabinet appointments Of
the new president have shown
the knack possessed by him to
secure the services Of men Of
ability-which to our notion
will rebound to the benefit OF
the American people.
During the entire presiden-
tial campaign the American
people were considering the
qualifications 81 the various
candidates, real or imaginary,
and were weighing them
against the administrations OF
the late FDR and President
Truman.
The reign Of the last two ed
ministrations, and we use the
word advisedly. is not neces-
sarily, and we hope and pray
It won't be, criterion of
what we may expect from the
Eisenhower administration.
We have been thinking for
nearly two decades now in
terms Of an all-powerful pre-
sident and a weak congress
that gives him substantially
everything he asks for al
though It may do a bit OF
grumbling before it does.
We have believed from the
beginning that should General
Eisenhower be elected presi-
dent that he would seek to use
only those powers set forth in
the constitution that presi-
dent should use-and those
sparingly. We believed that
General Eisenhower as presi-
dent will not seek or want to
usurp the powers of the Con
gress or the Supreme Court,
or any other branch of gov
eminent.
His actions since his election
have certainly given added
confidence to that faith we had
in him and we can only add
that we are looking forward
to seeing what kind of country
we are going to have when it
is given back to the people to
run.
