Use OF Barbiturates
Proves Dangerous

Attention has been sharply TO-
cused by recent nationwide crime
investigations on drugs and mar
cotics as a contributing factor to
crime. The problem is not new,
but it is being re-emphasized by
sociological conditions relating
to the worldwide situation. The
whole world is in a turmoil of
unrest, and as the world is made
up of individuals and communi-
ties, each one is subject to the
same unrest.
Recent surveys have unveiled
appalling conditions in many
communities of this country. Drug
addiction among high school
groups seems common. Young
boys and girls who have more
daring than discretion and judg-
ment find themselves within the
grasp of a habit that leads to i'll
health and to crime, often to
death. This use of drugs creeps
upon adolescents or adults insi-
diously and finally gets such a
hold that the habit cannot be bro
ken. With the extreme restless
ness Of people generally, one is
not too surprised at the unfor-
tunate situation in which indivi-
duals and nations find themselves.
An about war to clean up these
conditions would seem to be in
order.
Drugs and narcotics to which
adolescents and adults become ad-
dicted are chiefly: alcohol, mari
huana, benzedrine, cocaine, the
opium groups and sleeping pills.
With the exception of benzedrine
and cocaine, all of these men,
toned are Supplying drugs, all
having dulling effects on the in
individual. Probably the most
insidious worker is the sleeping
pill. One suffering from sleeping
pill addiction shows symptoms of
the drowsy stage of intoxication.
There may be marked deviation
from the normal as inhibitions
are released. The individual is
unable to coordinate properly.
When sleeping pills are with
drawn from habitue, the indi
vidual may experience convul-
sions. 1t is passing strange that
so many intelligent people will
become addicts to sleeping pills
(the barbiturates). More az:
more of the drug is required Ior
effect and often the barbiturate
addict becomes an alcoholic or
addicted to other drugs. One
should avoid the habitual use of
the barbiturates. Extreme dan
ger lies in their use.

Forestry Notes
by Bob Raymund
u. S. Forest Service

There is an estimated 100000
acres of idle woodland in Holmes
county. Part of it may be on your
farm and it costs you money.
Why? Because it is not producing
any timber or adding anything
to the farm income, yet it is tax
able.
There are several types of this
idle woodland. 1t may be COM
posed mainly of low grade scrub
by hardwoods on ridge tops or
side slopes. This land is suit
able for and should be growing
a pine crop for you now. Or, this
land may already have pine seed
lings on it but they are so shaded
and crowded by the unmerchant-
able hardwood overstory that the
pine will never be able to get
enough light or moisture for nor
NAL growth. Or finally, it may
be bare or "pastured-out" land
with some grass, a few weeds,
here and there plum thicket or
a persimmon bush on it. This last
type, because of the lack of pro-
per cover, may be in any stage
of erosion from slight to active
gullies.
What can a landowner do to
put these acres back on the pay
roll and off the list of taxable
dependents? The Mississippi Ag-
ricultural Conservation Program,
administered by the Production
and Marketing Administration
has an allotment for forestry prac-
tees on your farm. Technical ad-
vice and assistance will be fur
nished by the U. S. Forest Service
to properly treat each type of idle
woodland described above. If you
contact your local P. M. A. Ad~
ministrator in Lexington, he will
give you advice in getting this as
sistance and putting these idle
acres to work.

that, in fact, he was shocked to
see Mr.. Ingold act in the mannar
he did about the arrest of his Ne
gro tenant.
He said that he showed Mr.. In
gold back at least three times
before drawing his gun on him
and did this only after Mr. Ingold
had said he twas not going to be
arrested"
The officer said he thought he
had the right to protect himself
after Mr.. Ingold had said, you're
going to turn my Negro out for
you didn't have any right to ar
rest him"
Mr.. Lehman testified that he
had told Ingold he was under
arrest because he Qngold) had
acted in a mad and threatening
manner and tone and that he
was afraid the man was going to
jump on him.
Mr.. Lehman said that he hit
Mr.. Ingold two or three times.
Calvin King, Durant attorney,
representing the defendants, said
that breach of the peace had
been committed. Any violation
of public tranquility constitutes
a breach of the peace, he said,
and in this case the peace had
been preached and the officer
Vas within his legal rights in
making the arrest. Young King
asked that the defendants be re-
leased without bond.

Know Your Hospital
Stand-B BY Costs

Mississippians are prone, and
rightfully to refer to the local
hospital as the community hos
pital" because its sole purpose Is
to serve the community IN the
broadest sense - and without
profit. But what is the COM
munity's responsibility? Many
communities fail to realize, that
in order to have such an inst-
tuition in their midst, they must
support it.
Surprising a community should
suddenly find itself without a
hospital - what would the COM
munity do? No doubt, the COM
munity would do what has been
done throughout the state -
raise sufficient funds to construct
such needed institution.
After the actual plant has been
constructed, the community has
continuing responsibility. You
will say, Doesn't the hospital
charge its patients? They should
cover the costs of future opera
tons" Let us look at that reason
ing.
A hospital is expected to be
in readiness for any emergency
at any time, standing by to offer
its services at any hour of the
day or night. For whose benefit?
For you, and you, and you - for
all who in illness or accident
need its care.
This has been called readiness
to serve" cost and has been given
considerable study in communi-
ties alert to their obligation to
their voluntary hospitals in an
effort to help answer the ques-
ton: What portion of the total
cost of their hospital should be
met by the community at large
and what portion by charges to
hospital patients? To illustrate
what is meant, hospital incurs
certain expenses before a single
patient is cared for. Students in
this field have reported that some
IA or more people - such as SUI
pervisors, technicians, housekeep-
er, janitor, dietician and cook to
feed the employees on the job,
and number of others - are re-
quired in a 50-bed hospital before
it can open its doors. This doesn't
include nurses and other person
mel directly engaged in the bed
side care of patients which would
be direct service charge to the
patient. This readiness to serve
cost, it is estimated, would
amount to minimum of $4,000
annually, whether one patient or
many patients - or even no pa
tent was admitted to such a
hospital.
This readiness-to-se cost is
buried in the general overhead of
many businesses, and can be
found in the public utility field.
Although somewhat concealed in
rates and prices, there is a fixed
or minimum monthly charge for
telephone, gas and electricity. 1t
is what you pay for the "connec-
ton" whether you use any gas
or electricity or make any tele-
phohe calls. It is the cost of hav-
ing the service within reach,
whether you use it or not.

Through Hazel Eyes

Actually, the reverse is true.
In the so-called good old
days during the early history
of our country there was no
such thing as the reporting of
straight, unbiased facts as
news. Everything was written
by the editor and colored by
his own personal views. So
much did the editor throw
himself and his own person
ality into the writing of his
paper that frequently he be-
came engaged in fist fights and
duels to settle questions of
honor with his subscribers and
readers.
Today, the universal stand
ard in America is free and I'M
prejudiced handling of all the
news regardless of editorial
opinion. The latter is reserved
for the editorial page or per-
sonal columns of the editor
and his writers and carried
under their by-lines. These
are known to all readers as
opinion of the writers and are
taken for what the reader be-
lieves them to be worth.
The vast majority of Ameri-
can newspapers today handle
news fairly without censorship.
The few exceptions are well
known to the readers of the
papers involved who evaluate
the news read in those papers
accordingly.
America is the only major
country in the world with a
free and responsible press. Cen.
sorship is applied in all of the
other countries in one way or
another, directly by the gov
eminent, control of newsprint,
supplies, tax prosecutions, and
many other ways.
The importance of a free
press cannot be over-empha-
sized because on it rests the
basic foundation of all our
other freedoms - our right to
the sancitity of our homes. to
worship God as we please or
not to worship Him at all, our
right to pursue in peace a
livelihood, to peaceful assem-
bly,, and for all the other rights
we take for granted.
This goes right down to the
smallest weekly paper in the
smallest American community
-. right down to The Durant
News.
The columns or this news
paper under its present owner
ship have always been open to
anyone and everyone in the
community and county. This is
a free newspaper controlled by
no one except the dictates of
good taste and common sense.
There is no would-be dicta-
torship here. You do not have
to agree with the editor to get
"a piece" in the paper. You
don't have to be an advertiser
or even subscriber to get
something printed in the paper.
We cannot unselfishly serve
the people of this community
and county in the way we want
to serve you unless you feel
that this is your" paper and
it can always be depended up
on to advance the general we'll
being of this community and
county in every way possible
at all times.
We know that the vast ma
jority of our readers and fri
ends realize this because of the
large number of telephone calls
and communications we receive
each week from you.
