While we were looking the other
way the style in singing changed
again and the newest sensation is
a fellow with tears in his tonsils.
When this Johnny Ray starts
singing about ''The Little White
Cloud that Cried" boxes of klee-
mex that haven't been opened yet
start to drip.
W. had him on our radio the
other night and after the second
record there was milldew on the
microwave.
Back in the days when Sinatra
started, women wanted to pick him
up and cuddle him and feed him

This is the time of year when
whole families turn out in the
car and scour the country for
Christmas trees, holly and
other greenery-
A beautiful little pine or &C.
dar tree along the highway is
spotted-and the car stops. The
Ratchet is brought out and
down the tree comes. The fact
that the tree happens to be on
some one else's property and
maybe have a Posted" sign
next to it makes no difference.
One Of our late friends .psed
. 10 say rnst country people
have no rights--the city folks
have taken them all away"
He was referring to the fact
that the majority of people
have absolutely no regard for
the property rights of others
once they get outside the city
limits. When they're in the
country they feel free to take
anything in sight that is not
nailed down.
I personally can 60 one step
farther and say they don't al.
ways get outside the city limits
to steal their Christmas trees.
"SteaP' is an ugly word but
that's exactly what it is when
anyone takes any kind of tree
Or greenery off anyone else's
property without their know
ledge or consent.
Two years ago some one
stole a beautiful cedar tree off
the property where l now live
"a tree which had been stand
ing there for more than thirty
years. They didn't bother to
take the whole tree-just the
big top. I'm sure it made a
beautiful Christmas tree and /
wonder if the one who toEk It
enjoyed it.
/ am sure the person who
took the tree coald not pos
sibly have enjoyed its beauty
for one brief Christmas week
as much as would have en-
joyed it in my frunt yard for
the remainder of my life.
Many other families are hav-
ing this experience at this time
of year and will have the same
thing to 60 through with next
year-and that is the reason
why am now telling the story
about my tree that was stolen.
Perhaps it will make some
careless people more consider
ate of the rights Of others
especially at Christmas.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
~ Ilassl Brmnon Smith

A number of our friends
and readers have called and
complained about the hazard
that exists on our county high
ways in the form of livestock
roaming at large.
The presence of these amin
ais on the highways is men,
ace to every motorist and there
have been several accidents
within the past few weeks
where they were involved.
We realize how much ex-
pense is involved in feeding
livestock and it may be q
temptation to turn them loose
on the public to forage-but
the owner Of every mule, horse
and cow in Holmes county has
q legal and moral obligation to
keep his stock up and keep it
of other peoples property and
off the public roads and high
ways.
II is strictly against state law
for livestock to be at large and
their owners are responsible
for any damages they do.
Morally a man is guilty Of
murder should his livestock
cause an accident which claims
q life - because he knows
when he turns the stock out it
nay cause an accident.
We do not know whether the
Board OF Supervisors has the
authority tc appoint some one
whose business it would be to
see that the laws regarding
livestock are enfoUed-but
there ought to be some way to
better protect the motoring
public.

Safety Patrol Head
asks YuIetide Hosts
To Serve Java
Zone For The Rood
Should Be Hot
Block, Coffee"

Holiday party-givers have been
asked by Col. T. B. Birdsong of
the State Highway Safety Patrol
to assume additional responsible
ties for their guests - make sure
they are fit to drive home after
the festive affairs.
His appeal was made IN an et-
fort to prevent a recurrence OF
the highway tragedies which last
year caused many deaths and
thousands of injuries in Mississip-
pi during the twin four-day cele-
brations of Christmas and New
Years.
while the principal response
bility for safe driving always rests
with the driver, the host and host
ess have an obligation also, y
Colonel Birdsong said. ITO permit
an unsteady driver to take the
wheel of a car makes the host an
accessory to whatever follows
Greatest Yuae Gift
ITO prevent him from driving
until he is in proper condition to
handle his car safely is To give
him the greatest Christmas gift
of all - life ITSELF" Colonel Bird
song said.
The Highway Patrol official
said, lone way to he surer that
the departing guest IS fit to drive
is to serve nightcap of coffee be-
fore he leaves.
Everyone knows the steadying
effect of coffee, with bts of sugar,
when it is taken after alcohol"
the colonel said. TESTS conducted
at Cornell University proved hong
ago that the number of errors is
sharply reduced when coffee is
taken after drinking and thus, :.
the guest can be persuaded to try
it, his chances Of safe arrival huxne
are be1tered."
Campaign Has Clicked
Colonel Birdsong said hast year
the mayor of Boston issued a proc
iamation suggesting that New En-
gland hosts and hostesses make
the final drink-the lone for the
ruad"-st1Dng black coffee. AS a
result, New England last year re-
ported only four traffic deaths
compared with IS for the year
before. with the zone for the
road" campaign given credit for
the reduction. Maryland also fol-
lowed the plan and reported no
deaths at New Years last year
against eight two years previous.
1T seems to me that the success
of lone for the road" in those
two areas indicate that it should
become general practice every
where" Colonel Birdsong said.
The fact that liquor is illegal in
Mississippi does not minimize the
results that could accrue from
the 'one for the road" plan in this
state. That is attested by black |
market liquar tax collections on
II million dollars in reported
sales in legal-dry Mississippi
