The last rung in the education
al ladder is the graduate school,
headed by DR.. w. H. Sumrall
This educational ladder may be
compared, in some measure, to a
pyramid with its base broad and
extended and gradually growing
smaller and sleeper as it ascends
to the apex. On top of the pyra-
mid reside those who have ac-
complished, through persistent
effort, the climb up the steep as
cent until horizons may be seen
from the top of the pyramid
rather than blurred visions from
a lower altitude. Those who would
reach the heights where broader,
clearer visions are the reward
of the climb, must pay the price
in time, effort, and money for
this achievement.

rily designed to develop leaders

OF Blood and Beer

Ike Farris of Moselle last week
received the attractive pin that
denotes his generous donations

Cross Blood Program in Jones
County. The pin bears the num-
Der 3 showing that he has given
a total of three gallons of blood
TO the blood bank and he plans
to start on the fourth gallon IN
January.
Mr.. Farris says the blood that
he has given is almost as much

of beer taken from his establish
ment Sunday, Nov. 25, by Harvey

box after the search was made
on a search warrant sworn out
by County Attorney Leonard B.
Melvin, Jr., and signed by Tony

Mr.. Farris says he is pleased
to give his blood to the Red Cross

fact that he has led in the cam

Shall We Mississippidns Take Part In
Human Rights Day, Monday, December 10Th

The United States will join 9th other ma
ton throughout the world on December TO-
1885, to celebrate Human Rights Day The
adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights
by the members of the United Nations was a
milestone along the road that leads to uni
versal respect for the freedom and dignity
of the individual. 1t constitutes the first world
wide recognition of the inherent rights of
man.
What Is The Declaration Of Human Rights?
l. BY raising "a common standard of achieve
ment for all peoples and nations, the Unit
ed Nations hopes ultimately to secure the
fundamental freedoms on universal basis
as they are asserted by the Bill of Rights
of the United States, the Bill of Rights of
Great Britain, and the Declaration of the
Rights Of Man in France
The Universal Declaration of Human
Rights has been described by President
Eisenhower as "a significant beacon in the
steady march towards achieving human
rights and fundamental freedoms for all"
2. The Declaration is document involving
no legal obligations and should not be con-
fused with the draft Covenants on Human
Rights
3. Like the American Bill of Rights, the De-
claration is short, containing preamble
and only thirty brief statements of par
ticulars. 1t defines, in simple language, the
inherent rights of all human beings For
example:
Article l declares, Gall human beings are
born free and equal in dignity and rights
They are endowed with reason and con-
science and should act toward one anoth-
er in spirit of brotherhood
Article II states, Everyone has the right
to own property alone as well as in as
ISOLATION with Others, No one shall be
arbitrarily deprived of his property"
I he other twenty-eight articles consider such
matters as
Freedom of conscience and religion, free
dom from slavery and servitude, the
right to education and the right to fam
lily life and the privacy of the home
Freedom of opinion and expression, in
Guiding the right to seek ceive, and
impart information and ideas through
any media and regardless of frontiers"
Free elections, freedom of assembly and
association, equal protection under the

than read Thomas Wolfe through
the bifocals of good teacher Har-
ry Golden. We might never read
Thomas Wolfe at all. We might
never stop to mediate on one
Of Toms typical topics: The
| Great Barrier.
How do we pass the greatest
| barrier of them all? How do we
pass through "the leaf, the stone,
the open door,"
1t is unlikely that Tom ever
heard about the turbulence an
Iairpla suffers in passing
through the sonic barrier. If he
had, he would have loved it. He
would have wanted to try it, be-,
cause after all it is a tremendous
symbol.
Another sort of turbulence was
much upon his mind. Let us dis
regard the easy symbols in the
leaf and the stone, the linear and
spacial continuities, with a pos
Sible slip-stream between them.
But to enter The Open Door,
where the turbulence is terrific,
is to pass into mans birthright
inheritance. 1t is the biggest
J shake-up the soul can endure =
much worse than the natal event
of being physically born.
Tom heard good deal about
this turbulence in the ground
school of logic taught at UNC by
Professor Horace Williams. Tom
was very good in logic on the
academic level. 1t is possible he
could recognize all eighteen po-
sitions in the Hegelian Phenom-
enology, which few can do.
He knew the path -that-openS-
through the impossible is not a
place. 1t has no place in space 1t
is not on the map of Greek or
barbarian, Couth or uncouth, Jew
or gentle, White or black or red.
Fecumseh's brother, the Shaw
inee prophet Tenskwsutawa,
/ looked for it. tried to enter The
Open Door, and encountered the
turbulence.
With Time. the linear contin-
uity, that moves like river
from here to eternity, there is
merely a separation. And sep
aration is the one thing that is
uncomfortable to a continuity. Let
US say that Thomas Wolfe did
and -did-not embrace Judaism.
In 1919 Thomas Wolfe was a
Junior at the University of North
Carolina. His picture is in the an
nual for that year, at the alpha
betical end of the junior section
Immediately following, on the
division page for the sophomore

cal hero in several of his books

The United States And Human Rights

Our belief that the individual and bis
rights are more important than the state is
the greatest distinguishing feature Of demo
crazy as contrasted to Communism. As far
back as 1776, the Declaration Of independence
proclaimed the defense of "Inalienable rights
as the major purpose of government. Appro-
priately, the United States was a moving
force in the drafting and adoption of the De
claration. Courtesy of the U. S. National
Commission for United Nations Educational
Cultural and Scientific Organization)

nocent until proved guilty in fair public
trial.
without distinction of any kind, such as
race, color, sex, language, religion, politi-
cal or other opinion, national or social
origin, property, birth, or other status"
4 The Declaration exerts great moral in
fluence. It's impact is manifested in new
national constitutions, international agree
ments judicial decisions, and national leg
islation In 1854, for example, the Memo
randum of understanding settling the
Trieste problem called upon the Italian and
Yugoslav authorities to act in accordance
with the Declaration principles
History Of The Declaration
l. Like our own Bill of Rights, the United Ma
tons Declaration grew out of public de-
mand for such a statement. People of many
nations spoke up at the San Francisco Con-
ference in 1915, to insist that the United
Nations provide some safeguard for human
rights. AS result, the United Nations
Charter, adopted in October, 1945, pro-
claimed faith in human rights, in the dig
nifty and worth of the human person, in the
equal rights of men and women and of ma
tons large and small"
2. To implement these principles, the Human
Rights Commission was established in 1916
It's first task was to draft the Declaration
which was subsequently adopted by the
General Assembly on December 10 1946 by
unanimous vote. (The Soviet Union and its
satellites abstained from voting)
g. In December 1885, the United Nations
General Assembly Gale upon all
