Dean Johnson
Visits Sacred
Historic Ruin

Mrs. Joyce Johnson Bolden
presents a brick from the de-
molished Number One to Dean
A. L. Johnson of Prentiss Jul
nior College. We remember
that Dorm One is the building
where her grandfather and the
Deans father, the immaculate
and immortal, Professor J. E.
Johnson, founder of Prentiss
Normal and Industrial Insti-
tute, lived as a student.
1t is important in Alcorn's
history that such outstanding
Alumnus of this Institution as
Professor j. E. Johnson was
getting his character nodded
amid these scenes during the
turn of the century. For his
contribution, as a good citizen
and great leader, to the in
tellectual, moral, spiritual, eco
nomical, and temperamental
fibers of our state and nation
was such that when history is
written Alcorn will loom
brighter in the light of his il
lustrious achievements.
Dean A. l.. and Mrs. Thelma
Johnson were guests of the
College during the 1857 home
coming celebration.

others. The citizens feel all such
structures should be condemned
and not only those that have
been complained about.
The police department came
under fire when a member said
he was told additional police
protection could not be provided
in the Hillsdale area because the
crime rate is too low.

On Getting Oil to Europe

cut of somewhat less than 5
per cent in gasoline refining
would release enough crude oil
to make up the deficit in ship
ments to Europe. Standard OF
Jersey, Continental. Sinclair
and Socony- Mobil have all an
nounced that their gasoline
refining would be reduced by
about 5 per cent. This is not
much of a sacrifice. There is
too much gasoline in storage
anyway.
Senators may be pleased
that their efforts have begun
paying off in increased ship
ments of oil to Europe. They
remain unhappy about the
price increases OF petroleum
products. Senator Estes Ke-
fauver finally got Assistant In
terror Secretary Felix Wormser
to admit that it was the policy
Of the administration to stay
away from oil prices and leave
them strictly to the operations
Of the market place. This will
not be OF much comfort to the
consumer whose voice may be
heard in Congress occasionally.

Educotion's Defeat in Iran

Middle Eastern countries do
not return at all, or. If they
return, cannot find satisfac-
tory occupations.
Iran needs doctors. teach
ers. engineers. nurses, social
workers. But even such as
there are tend to congregate
in the capital and avoid the
provinces. where they are
much more seriously needed.
Iran. a country of over 20
million. has 5000 doctors-and
needs at least 10000.
But the emolumentS from
studies of long duration are
still fearfully low.
Even more serious is the
almost total gap between the
educated and the lowest
manual worerS. This country
needs mechanics. plumbers.
practical nurses, and skilled
workers in every branch of in
dustry. Apart from the ancient
and still beautiful crafts
Silversmiths. tilemakers. hand
weavers-learned by appren-
ticeship and usually passed
from father to son. these
middle workers. out Of whose
ranks in our own country
many great industrial man.

latter, American prestige and

necessary prestige to the idea
that a mechanic is a highly
