Durant Tigers Play
Host To Sturgis
Lions Friday Night
Duront's Winning
Chances Weakened
BY Loss Of FuIIbuck

The Durant Tigers will be
struggling to stay out front in the
Big Black Conference race Fri
day night, when they play host
to the strong Sturgis Lions on
Bennett Field. Sturgis, always a
strong contender for conference
laurels, will field a fighting team
led by David Summerford. 1885,
pound fullback.
The Lions have always been a
tough foe for the Tigers, winning
two out of the last three games
played. Durant's only win came
last year. Should Sturgis win
the game Friday night, Durant
would be dropped from the lead
in the championship race.
Weakening Durant's chance for
finishing the season with a per-
feet record is the loss of full
back Larry Day, who received a
broken arm in the McAdams
game. Finding a suitable replace
ment for this position has been a
problem and a definite decision
has not been made as to who will
receive the starting nod Friday
night.
A large crowd of local fans is
expected to be on hand at 8 pm.
to witness the game of the week
in the Big Black Conference.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hdzel Bronnon Smith

October Oath was United Ma
tons Day.
Those of us who are not too
optimistic about the future of the
United Nations should, perhaps,
take heart in remembering that
the adoption of what we now
count as our most precious ma
tional heritage, our constitution,
was accomplished with many
doubts and misgivings on the
part of good many of the lead
ing citizens of that day.
That great document, our con-
stitution, has survived over many
trials and tribulations.
Perhaps the United Nations, an
organization dedicated to settl-
ing peaceably international diff
ferences among nations. viii sur
vive the many forces battling
against it today and emerge as a
real power in stopping aggres-
sion and promoting peace in the
world.

Duranf Tops Conference With Win
Over McAdams 4t-S; Sfurqis Next

A record-breaking crowd could
hardly believe their eyes Thurs
day night as the Durant Tiers
turned on the power to spoil the
undefeated conference record of
the McAdams Bulldogs 41-8 and
place Durant in undisputed pos
session of the lead in the Big
Black Conference. Durant was
not to be denied as they took the
opening kickoff and drove the
length of the field with Doc Grit
fin going over the four yard line.
Griffin also drove off tackle for
the extra point. A few minutes
later Trent Burrel passed to Doc
Griffin who scored behind beau

ment of the constitution-the
right to refuse to testify on the
grounds their answers might be
self-incriminating.
Growing out of this there began
in Congress a move to get rid of
this protection, to force witnesses
to answer questions or 60 to pri-
son for contempt of Congress.
This was to be done by offering
them immunity" from prosecu-
ton. There is nothing new about
immunity" Of course. Il Il
granted in trial courts all the
time--but it is granted by au-
thorities who are charged with
the responsibility of enforcing the
laws.
Such immunity certainly can
not be made by Congress or any
other body if we are to keep our
present constitutional form OF
government with it's traditional
separation of powers into three
divisions-the executive, the leg
fislative and the judicial.
The Attorney General of the
United States, Mr.. Herbert Brow
nell, has announced he approves
such an immunity" law provid-
ed immunity cannot be granted
by Congress without the concur
renee of the attorney general.
II these proposals affected only
Communists there would be no
cause for concern-truly the
American people resent as deep
ly as any Congressman the spec
tacle of Communists hiding be-
hind the constitution they seek
to destroy.
But this immunity" law would
apply to anyone in the future who
might be called for any purpose
before congressional committee.
1t would give tremendous power
to the political party in power
a weapon that could easily be
abused-and used to deprive a
private citizen of basic rights.
We feel that Congress should
continue to make the laws-and
the Attorney General should con-
tinue to enforce them. .t A

A lot of people in Mississippi,
including the writer, think Gov
ernor Hugh White il unduly op-
timistic over healing Che breach
in this state between the Demo-
cratic party regulars and the
States Rights Democrats who
supported Eisenhower.
Tom Etheridge tells a story in
his column that illustrates the
point:
The colored man, killing a quiet
Sunday afternoon reading head
stones in a country churchyard,
scratched his head in puzzlement
when he came across this inscrip-
ton on the tomb Of long dead
white friend:
HUGH HIGCINBoTTOM
Il am Not Dead but SLEEPING"
Pore ole Mistuh Hugh" the
Negro sighed dolefully. HE sho'
amt foolin' nobody but hisself!"
European Correspondent r. H.
Shackford voices a thought we
have often expressed in this
column.
From over here it looks as
though we do too damn much
talking" he says. Its what our
officials say, rather than what
they do, that gets US into difficult
ties more often than not We
have in the really big things, in
most cases, done the right thing"
One Of the biggest problems
acing the United States for
many years now is European mis-
understanding Of our words and
deeds.
Mr.. Shackford offers as a par
tial solution of this problem Theo-
dore Roosevelt's famous advice:
Speak softly and carry a big
stick"
It's excellent advice, in our
opinion.

QUESTION: What is "Rosh
Chodesh?"
ANSWER: The first day of the
Hebrew month is called "Rosh
Chodesh" which means tn
head" or the beginning" Of the
month. In olden times it was OBJ
served as a sort of semi-festival.
The Shofar was sounded and GER
tain additional sacrifices were Of
fered in the days of the temple.
Today it is marked with the re-
citation of the "Hallel" players in
the synagogue morning service, a
special reading from the Holy
Scroll assigned to that day and
an additional service of Musaf,
an additional Psalm and a special
paragraph entitled "Yaale Veyo-
voh" which is added to the regu-
lar prayers three times during
the day as we'll as to the Grace
that is said after the meals. Bib
lical references point to this day
as being a special occasion on the
calendar. .

QUESTION: Why was "Rosh
Chodesh" made special day on
the Calendar with added observ-
ances?
ANSWER: Aaron ben Joseph
the Levite, in his famous Sever
Hachinuch''' treats the observance
of Rosh Chodesh as sign of re
spect for the powers that exert
themselves in the. life of the .hu-
man race by the behaviour of the
moon. The moon affects v, the
growth of living = things, the
course of the mariners at sea and
has many other influences in hui
man; life. Thus, in respect to the
Almighty's providential influence
invested in the moon, the day
upon which the moon becomes
what we call a new moon" is
heralded as significant date
This takes place at the precise
beginning of every Hebrew month
and so the first day of the montl
was treated as a kind of festival
y 4 **
QUESTION:: Why is it tina
sometimes "Rosh Chodesh" is oh
served for two days?
ANSWER: The Hebrew mont
is never complete in exact day
It is the length of % days and
fraction thereto. Naturally, date
cannot be counted by hours b.
by days. Thus, to even the coun
some months are made to be
days while others are % day
When month is made to be {
days, the 30th day is the day upo
which the new moon begins

day of the next month, thus ma

When a month has % days,
following day is Rosh Chodesh,
which case Rosh Chodesh is or

Father Wenzel has given to chill

interest them in religious facts
they should all know. In this book
there are many interesting ways
of testing themselves about how
much they do know. Some of these
are crossword puzzles, completion
pages. multiple choice sentences,
picture stories, and other new
games which would interest youth
in the material they so often get
only in catechism form or dull
classroom procedure. An excellent
supplementary text for Catholic
children attending public schools.

Twelve-year-old Michael Sells
once dreamed that he was an art
lSt of world renown and many
who know him and the work he has
been doing, think there's a good
chance he can believe in that dream.
Mike has been drawing since he
was eight years old. He didn't take
it too seriously. To him, it was just
a lot of fun something to
amuse his friends. He liked to
draw pictures of his friends, his
father, and cartoons. But best of
all, Mike liked to draw pictures with
a religious theme He drew from
models most of the time, using old
Christmas cards, magazines or pic
lures. Occasionally, he would let
his Imagination take over and do
some creative work.
He never received much encour-
agement to study art seriously so
that he could follow it as a careeer.
He never received encouragement
until this year when he walked in
to the fifth grade class room at
Sacred Heart school. Columbus.
There, Sister Mary Terese. o.

the children to draw, noticed

Mike was quick to learn and fol-

Terese. He was eager for knowl-

oping his ability a marked degree
under the guiding hand of his in
structor.
His interest in art doesn't stop
with drawing. The boy enjoys
painting and sculptoring. One of
