CAMPBELL ST. CHRISTMAS
SCENE DRAWS LARGE CROWD;
DENOTES COMMUNITY SPIRIT
BY S. M. Harvey

JACKSON Pedhaps nothing
during the entire Christmas sea-
son, delighted us more than the
Christmas Scene as presented on
Campbell Street here in Jackson
/. !. +. where 35 outdoor Christmas
Trees, beautifully decorated, pla-
ced the same distance from the
street, down both Sids, not only
made brilliant sight to behold,
but to us, reflected more than
anything else, the real, honest-to-
goodness Christmas spirit that
must prevail in this four block
section of our city.
AS we understand it, the idea
of the Campbell Street neighbors
cooperating to beautify their
street and at the same time pro-
vide special Christmas Spirit"
for the 70 or more children who
live in the area, was initiated by
Mrs. Catherine Johnson, popular
beautician who has lived on the
street for many years. Mrs. John
son was assisted by Mrs. Melvina
Ware, substitute school teacher.
Mr.. johnson visited every house
on the street from Whitfield Mill
Road to Town Creek and to her
delight received almost 100 per-
cent cooperation from her neigh
bors. According to Mrs. Johnson,
the identical trees with multi
colored lights, brought the beauty
and spirit of Christmas into our
community. She further stated
1T was good to see neighbors out
having fun helping each other
put up their trees and lights with
all the children running around
!. Some of the men pitched in
and bought trees for those who
could not afford them. ;. That's
the kind of spirit we have.
On Christmas Eve children and
grownups joined together in sing
ing Christmas Carols on Camp
bell Street.
Many people of all races who
visited Campbell Street during
the Christmas season to share with
these good citizens the JOY of
Christmas-time, were of this
opinion, ''how splendid it would
be, if this same spirit of friendly
and neighborly cooperation pre-
vailed turnout the year, not only
on Campbell Street. but on every

The phenomenal 47-year history
of Mississippi's first real school
for Negroes, the Piney Woods
Country Life School at Braxton,
is related in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. The story of the
schools founder, Laurence c.
Jones, "The Little Professor of
Piney Woods" is a condensation
of the book by Beth Day, recently
published by Julian Messner, Inc.
Back in 1909 when DR.. Jones
founded his school, statistics read:
enrollment-one boy; cash on
hand-$165; classroom-a felled
log under a cedar tree. Today the
Piney Woods School has 1900
acres with 20 buildings, an en-
rollment of 500 boys and girls,
and an endowment fund of $685.

While a student at the Univer-
sity of Iowa, a routine lecture on
the old maxim, noblesse oblige
inspired Jones to devote his life
to helping the forgotten" chill
dren of his race. The most for
gotten" of all, he found, lived in
the Black Belt of the deep South.
Meeting with skepticism, ignor-
Jones gradually but steadily won
the support of Negroes and whites
alike, and with pledges of land,
lumber, food, money, and the will
to work the Piney Woods
School began its physical growth.
Students at the school have al
ways done the work-not only
because of the meager resources
but because of the background of
the students. Zones teaches them
how to get ahead" one woman
said of the little 'fessor." The
principles of harvesting, cooking,
canning and carpentry are just as

DIMINISHING SUPPLY
OF STRIPED BASS
GIVING CONCERN
Bonner Calls on Authorities TO
Consider Threat to Spawn
ing Grounds

Washington. Congressman
Herbert C. Bonner stated this
week that he was greatly concern
ed with the gradually diminishing
quantity of rockfish Striped bass)
in the waters of the Albemarle
and Pamlico Sounds and their tri-
butaries.
This condition is brought about
due to the fact that 900 or more
of the striped bass in these waters
are spawned in the area between
Weldon and Roanoke Rapids on
the Roanoke River. Favorable
and natural conditions on this
spawning ground, which is said to
be the only spawning ground of
this fish in North Carolina, have
been deteriorating over the past 8
to 10 years due to pollution from
industrial plants in the Roanoke
Rapids area, the construction of
Kerr Dam, additional dams that
are proposed and one now in the
course of construction. This to-
gether with the total lack of any
restriction on the taking of this
fish during the spawning season
and the seeming lack of coordina-
ton between the State Fish and
Wildlife ervice and the Division of
Commercial Fisheries of the
State Department of Conservation
will ultimately bring to pass the
disappearance of the striped bass
from the waters of North Caro-
lima.
Through recent negotiations by
interested parties in North Caro-
lima led by Congressman Fountain,
Barden and Bonner, some adjust
ment of the water flow from Kerr
Dam has been accomplished. Con-
gresham Bonner, who is Chair
man of the Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee of the House
of Representatives, has interested
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice in this situation. Monday John
Farley, the Director of the Fish
and Wildlife Service, and other
members of his staff, Congress,
men Fountain, Barden and Bonner
will fly to Weldon from Washing
ton and will be met by Clyde
Patton, Executive Director, Wild
life Resources Commission, Sena.
tor Lunsford Crew and others fol
the purpose of making firsthane
survey of the situation and inspect
the hatchery that is maintained al
Weldon in an effort to bring about
some change in the situation thai
will preserve this great industry
for sport and commercial fisher
men of the state.
In connection with the above
Congressman Bonner has recently
introduced bill to authorize the
Secretary of the Army to review
reports on the Roanoke Rive1
Basin for recommendations fol
any modification of project plan.
