Supreme Court Sustained

al court ruling on the ground that it was rem
dered in a cause over which the federal
courts have no jurisdiction" Marshall said:
e2 If the legislatures of several states
may, at will, annul the judgements Of the
courts of the United States and destroy
the rights acquired under these judge
ments, the Constitution itself becomes
solemn mockery.
This appendix very pertinently recalls
that the court was an agent of reconciliation
after the Civil War - overrulng all attempts
to bar supporters of the Confederacy from
public and professional employment.
All those Americans who believe the
school decision was unwise or untimely have
every right to say so. So do those who believe
it contravened the Tenth Amendment. But
such contentious should not lead to charges
of 'usurping power" and preparing the way
for dictatorship. The court can always be ov-
erruled if the people have sustained pur-
pose to do so. Congress frequently makes its
own Interpretation Of the Constitution stick;
a notable recent instance was the offshore
oil case.
Citizens who question the doctrine of
judicial review as affirmed by Chief Justice
Marshall might we'll consider two facts. JEFF
ferson, usually opposed to Marshall, held
that one great value of the Bill of Rights
was that it would place in the hands of an
independent Judiciary legal check on hasty
popular action This foresight has been SO
confirmed by experience that many other ma
lions have copied the American systems

ton, community action, profess
sionallay partnerships, and vol

grateful appreciation for the con-
tribution you and the Mississippi

Public Welfare
Chances Noied

The 1856 Federal Congress
changed its matching formula for
welfare funds This with the re-
sulting small increase made avail
able in state funds made it pos
sible for some of, the restrictions
formerly placed on qualifications
of applicants for old age assis-
lance, aid to the blind, aid to de-
pendent children and aid to per-
manently disabled to be changed.
The State is in no position to
begin a pension program. 1t is
felt that responsible relatives
SHOULD contribute to the sup
port Of their dependents, but
when they do not and NEED is
found to exist it becomes a duty
of society to help. Now, actual
contributions will be counted in
the budget and NOT assumed
contributes which have been bas-
ed on relatives ability.
Beginning in November 1856
ONLY ACTUAL HELP. RECEIV-
ED FROM RELATIVES OF AN
APPLICANT WILL BE COUNT

Teacher S Day
Observance Set
For Nov. ll-l7

Jack Pace, Department Com
mander of the American Legion OF
Mississippi, announced today that
each Of the more than two hum
dred Legion Posts in the State
have been urged to tax part in
the annual observance of Nation
al Teachers Day." November 18th
through November 18th, under
the Joint sponsorship of The Am
erican Legion, National Educa-
ton Association, National Con-
greSs Of Parents and Teachers,
and the U. S. Office of Education.
The idea to set aside one day
during National Education View
ito honor local teachers bysome
appropriate ceremony" was first
advanced by the Legion of Min
nesota. The plan was approved by
the Legion's National Executive
Committee at its meeting May 2
4, 1856. and was then incorporated
in the National Education Week
program for 1856.
Preliminary reports indicate
that many posts have arranged
dinners and other special events
through which the community
could doff its hat to local teachers.
Even before the 1856 National
Education Week got under way, a
committee representing the four
sponsoring organizations, met in
Washington, D. c., on November
1.-THE to draw up tentative plans
for the 1857 event.
1T is my earnest hope that ev-
eryy community will do some
thing on this day to indicate to
our teachers how much we appre-
ciate what they are doing for the
youth of our state" Commander
Pace concluded.

Four Ways Given
To Cut Bicycle
Accident Toll

Last year, 90,220 persons-most
of them children-were injured in
bicycle accidents. Another 720
were killed.
What caused the accidents Cy-
clists broke traffic laws in half
the cases; mishandled their bicy-
cles in another third of the cases.
What can be done to cut this
toll? Teach children traffic laws
and teach them how to handle
their bicycles safely. Those are
the recommendations of Professor
Carlton NJ Edwards of Cornell
University, as reported in Town
Journal magazine. Professor Ed
wards has developed a bicycle
safety campaign which. in 10
years has trained 100000 Al
Club boys and girls in safe riding.
Here are the basic points of Pro-
lessor Edwards program:
|. Learn how to mount bike.
Put the left foot on the left pedal,
which should be at the lowest
point. Right foot pushes, as in
starting a scooter, and rider
swings into the saddle, For con-
troll. balls of feet should stay
firmly on pedals, and parallel to
the ground.
2. Learn how to dismount. 1t is
dangerous to Jump off before
stopping. The good rider stays on
his bike as he halts it, ADJ
3, Learn how to keep your bal
ance, even in a crisis. Professor
Edwards tests cyclists by having
assistants step suddenly into the
path of the like. Another test re-
luires youngsters to pedal a So
cot course in slow 20 seconds.
Without touching feet to ground,
| ,ood riders hold their balance
" at creep.
4 Learn traffic laws. Good rid

Christian stand you are taking. l
