Brandon Notes
Meeting of P. T. "A. Council
At Spring Hill School
January 2lst. 1855


At Spring Hill School
January 2lst. 1855
Rankin County President, Mrs
Mary A. johnson,
To Fellow teachers and Patrons:
Near the middle of our school
year we were ushered into a New
Year by the hands of God. Just as
this change of time, from the old
year into the new has come upon
us, we can see the evidences OF
many more changes about us.
Let us ask ourselves these ques-
tions: Are we able to change with
the time - especially with the
changes in the modern trend OF
education?
How well can we adjust oursel-
yes to resentments, obstacles. op-
posing forces, etc? and thrive
under the pressure Of them?
Am I doing all can for the
development of all concerned?
Let us look forward and not
backward, unless to take an inven-
tory of our journey thus far, and
threby try to improve our ''for-
ward march.
Teachers and Co-workers, when
we look about us and see the crowd
ed schoolrooms, a few high school
rings flashing here and there and
a few children gone to college
let us not pretend that we are
looking at a job well done"
Let us face the facts and see that
we yet have about us a reasonable
amount of juvenile delinquency
boys falling out of school at an
early age, youth failing to qualify
for the services Of their country
because o low ]. @. and physically
unfit bodies and a shortage of
youth participating in religious
services.
Why not ask ourselves this queS-
ton: Where are we falling short
and what can be done to improve
these conditions
Parent, give you child more OF
the things that you do not have to
buy-such as, affection, under
standing, a loving smile, courage,
sympathy, and strict counseling.
In the meantime, help the teach
er to teach his honesty, thrift,
politeness, promptness, safety,
alertness, obedience and reverence.
These are the ingredients for char
acter building.
Teachers, provide for the child
the things that are essential for
better learning: such as stimula-
ton, motivation, experiences, a
democratic atmosphere, proper gui-
dance and a pleasing personality.
Then watch him progress.
Local P. T. A. Presidents. call
your meetings regularly. Encour-
age good attendance, and participa-
ton. Urge patrons to secure birth
certificates for their children in
order that the school records can be
established and put into effect
without delay.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1955-02-12

forcing children in any task too
rapidly, or of not expecting them
to do anything for themselves. A
moderately firm but friendly
treatment of children is the safest
policy.
When children are mature
enough, they will begin mastering
many of these tasks. Only then
are they ready for school.

There Are Reasons

Assistant Director Nichols of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation cited to the
Anti-Defamation League in New York a
total of 83 reasons why the Communists
are waging bitter campaign to discredit
the FBI informant system. There have
been SO convictions under the Smith Act,
Mr.. Nichols pointed out and each convic-
ton resulted largely from testimony given
by so-called "informers." These witnesses
included not only reformed Reds ("trai-
tors" in the estimation of party members)
but men and women planted in Communist
organizations by the FBI.
Mr.. Nichols acknowledged that use of
informants by the FBI has increased in
recent years, although the system is neither
new nor confined to that agency. The
increased inf1ltration of Red ranks has
been necessary to keep the conspiracy
under adequate surveillance. "If their
(the Reds) clandestine meetings and &C
Invites are to be penetrated" he said,
"clandestine methods are necessary"
Greater safeguards against informants of
the Harvey Matusow type must be devised.
But the FBI would be taking grave risks
with national security if it dispensed with
informants, wire tapping and other "clan-
destine methods" of exposing the enemies
of the Nation.

Confined Veterans

Mental Health Week finds
$4,000 veterans in VA asy-
lums-not because they are
insane and dangerous, but
because their families do not
want them at home. There
are epileptics, neurotics, the
aged, those with physical all
ments, some with mild psy-
Ghosts and many who have
recovered. Confined behind
grim walls and subjected to
callous neglect and unimag-
Unable indignities, they dete-
riorate in mind and body.
The imprisonment of these
men - yesterdays heroes - is
senseless and cruel. Patients
are not held in hospitals be-
cause they have no homes,
and inmates are not kept in
prison to accommodate rela-
tives. Yet these veterans, who
once fought for world free
dom. are rewarded by having
their own freedom denied.
This terrible injustice de-
mands top-level action. It
should be brought to the i'm
mediate attention of President
Eisenhower.

Pretty Thought

So much has been made of
the cherry blossoms, and
rightly so. that we overlook
the beauty of the azaleas, dog
wood, red maple, and other
beauties which last longer,
are more varied, more widely
spread, and are more depend
able.
Having seen the Bellingraph
Gardens, Azalea Gardens. At
lanta at dogwood time, Sher-
wood and Longwood Gardens.
we feel that it is not neces-
sary to leave Washington for
beauty, especially in its nat
ural surroundings as these at
tractive flowers. shrubs. and
trees are found surrounding
our many lovely homes.
The Board of Trade in its
worthy efforts to increase
tourist interest, perhaps could
do no better than to publicize
these beauties or attractions
as they have the cherry bios
SONS. Why not inaugurate q
movement to stimulate and in
crease them, such as an an
nual contest for the most
beautiful yard. a fund to en-
courage the planting of more
shrubs? Why not beautify the
Mall with Azalea, dogwood,
and red maple. and make it
one of the beauty spots of
America? There are unlimited
possibilities here to do at least
what the cherry blossoms
have done, and probably a
great deal more.

Mrs. Eisenhower's health is
not to be a factor in the PreSi-
dents decision to run or not to
run next year. The reason
Mrs. Eisenhower's health is
good. In the midst of all kinds
of rumors - given emphasis
last winter by Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Paul M. But
ler's prediction the President
will not be a candidate to sue
coed himself, largely because
of Mrs. Eisenhower's lack of
health-it is refreshing to have
the Presidents own assurance
that his wife is a good. healthy
person. Indeed, the President
pointed out that her health
has been better during her
first two years in the White
House than during any other
two years in the last ten. The
severe virus attack which has
kept Mrs. Eisenhower from
filling social engagements re-
Gently is yielding to treatment
which has taken longer be-
cause she Is allergic to some
of the new drugs commonly
used to combat virus infections
today.
Decision Nears
Mr.. Eisenhower, however,
has not yet said what his po-
litical plans for next year are.
Indeed, he declined to COM
ment at all on Mr.. Buffers
prediction he will not run. He
merely seems to have removed
one of the arguments on which
the Democratic national chair
man based his belief the Presi-
dent will step aside instead of
seeking a second term. To that
extent, the leaders of the Re
publican Party breathe more
freely. Fear that the President
may decide against running Is
their principal nightmare.
AS each month goes by that
Observation-Disclosures to run or
not-comes closer to the Presi-
dent. Gov. Walter j. Kohler
of Wisconsin, here recently for
the Governors Conference,
called attention to the fact
that if Mr.. Eisenhower's name
is to go on the ballot in the
Wisconsin presidential prefer
entail primary next year, the
President will have to give his
assent by March 2. No name
can be entered in the Wiscon-
sin primary-when delegates to
the Republican and Democratic
National Conventions are cho-
sen-without the specific con-
sent of the proposed candidate.
And Gov. Kohler recalled that
President Eisenhower had told
a press conference last Febru-
airy 2 - when he was asked
whether he'd run-to ask him
again a year from that day.
It was then the President sug-

Tribute to ThoiIond

Field Marshal Pibulsonggram, Prime
Minister of Thailand, is eminently entitled
to the honor bestowed on him by President
Eisenhower The honor is the Legion of
Merit degree of Chief Commander-our
country's highest decoration for any for
eign dignitary. And the citation accom-
panying 1t has not exaggerated in eulogiz-
ing him as "a resourceful and inspiring
leader" who has rendered Outstanding
service to the United Nations and to the
cause of freedom"
For this man, ever since the end of
the Second World War, has held fast
against the threatening forces of Red
totalitarianism in Asia, and Thailand has
held fast with him. Thus, under his lead
erShip, his country-a relatively small
place, but one very big in courage-lost no
time in sending troops and planes to fight
on the side of the U. N. in Korea; nor did
it hesitate to vote forthrightly with the
majority in branding the Chinese Commu-
nists as criminal aggressors. Similarly,
although directly exposed to Peiping'S
pressures and across the border armed
power, it was the first to announce its
unqualified readiness to join in the Amer
ican-sponsored Southeast Asia Collective
Defense Treaty-the eight-nation project
(SEATO) that has since become reality.
The reason for all this, as he has just
told the National Press Club, is that Mar
shall Pibulsonggram and his country firmly
believe that Ito preserve peace we must
be united and, if need be, prepared to make
supreme sacrifices" Hence, now as in the
stormy past, the Thailanders proclaim
their resolute and unwavering determine
ton to hold fast against the Red tide.
Freedom could have no stauncher ally
than these people. The President, in dec
Grating their excellent Prime Minister, has
offered only token Of the tribute they
deserve.
