The Provine Studios have an
nounced that they will be in Mil
ford on Wednesday, September 25,
to photograph the pupils of the
Milford Schools.
1t is their suggestion for best re-
suits in school pictures that the
students dress as follows:
Boys should wear coats over
white shirts, dark ties, or cOlored
or striped sport shirts.
Girls should wear colored or
striped dresses, blouses or sweat
ers. White blouse under a dark
coat is good. Little or no makeup
is preferred as powder reduces
highlights.
New Courses
Three new courses have been
added to the program of studies of
the Milford Junior-SeniCr High
School. On the 8th grade level, ex-
plOratory courses in languages are
being offered in order that pupils
may determine that they have the
interest and aptitude for foreign
languages which are offered on an
elective basis beginning with grade
9. These languages are taught by
Mr.. Carey and Mrs. Liller.
On the Senior High School lev
ell, a course in Machine Shop has
been inaugurated this year. The
boys are taught the fundamentals
of bench work and lathe operation.
This course is taught by Mr.. A. G..
Davidson.
Two classes in Speech, on the
Senior High School level, have also
been scheduled and are being
taught by Mrs. Joan Riggin. It is
hoped that in the future these
courses may lead into dramatics
and debating.

Pharisees because he ate and drank and kept

men are afraid to speak to one another.
Men are afraid to speak Freedom Of
speech is almost extinct in South Carolina,
except for those who wish to speak in favor
Of, and in accord with the policies of, the
pressure groups who selfrighteously assume
that they, and only they, have the answers.
All of this makes up the dense climate
Of fear. The dead hand of tradition has a
claw grip on our vitals; and our spirits are
bound to these earthen vessels which are
our bodies. When the spirit suffers the body
suffers. We are totally involved This is our

Water Shortage
Seen AS Possible

The Yazoo Delta may develop
serious water shortages unless
..'steps are taken reasonably soon"
to replenish underground water
reserves, as the pumping of water
for the rice irrigation may deplete
water supplies in the
Delta.
About 200 wells had been drill
ed by the end of 1856 and that
measurement showed that the ir-
rigation wells lowered under
ground water levels. Despite some
pessimistic predictions that will
not be able to meet the large pro-
spective demand for water, the
situation is not, as a whole, dark.
Though the population is grow
ing and industry is expanding, the
technical knowledge of the water
resources is expanding.

Following are suggestions offer
ed by the officials of the livestock
show association. These sugges-
tons apply to showmanship of
dairy cattle only.
|. Fitting of Animal
l. The animal should be asyclean
and Well-groomed as it is possible
to have it when led into the show
ring. (This applies to all classes
of animals).
2. The hoofs should be shaply
trimmed to improve their appear
ance and to enable the animals to
walk and stand properly.
g.. Horns should be rasped.
scroped, polished and possibly
shaped to make best appearance.
4 Animals should have proper
degree of fleshmg, being neither
too thin nor too fat, and they
should have an attractive fill or
barrel Extre me S should be
avoided.
II. Showing of Animals
/. The primary purpose of show
ing an animal is to assist that
animal in making the most favor
able impression on the judge.
2. Animals should re brought
into the ring promptly and not
keep others waiting.
5 3. Animals should be led around
the ring clockwise in order not to
obstruct the view of the Judge.
They should be led slowly.
4. Dairy animals should be kept
as alert as possible when shown
and when stood posed to best ad-
vantage. 1t is very poor practice
to allow an animal to stand or pose
poorly Ego to Sleep especially af-
ter judge has made placings.
5. The alert Snowman must
keep one eve on his animal and
one on the Judge in order that he
may keep his animal looking best
and follow instructions. He should
never permit his body to obstruct
the view of the judge.
6. Retirement from the show
ring should be in the order of the
placing of the class.
Z. Showmen should give their
animal and the judges their UNI
divided attention.
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1957-03-07

A mother called me yesterday and prac-
tically begged me to join with other min
listers and provide leadership for our people
in our present situation Of course, ministers
are fallible men. All we can do is what we
are sworn to do. give your faithful dill
gence always SO to minister the Doctrine and
Sacramento and the Discipline of Christ, as
the Lord hath commanded -
In doing this we point you to the only
true Leader, Jesus Christ, and ask you on
your knees to look on His face and listen to
His voice.
The disciples of Jesus had ample oppor-
tunity to do this while He was in the flesh
And yet you will remember the setting of
our text. He was teaching the disciples, and
+. His teaching included the hard fact that lie
would be delivered into the hands of men,
to be beaten and spit upon
This was hard to take. The disciples did
not understand how this mantle friend of
the friendless, the friend of publicans and
sinners, the lover of the unlovable, this per
feet teacher, this royal lord and MASTER his
humble servant, this man who was more
than Just because He was forgiving : how
this Jesus whom they adored could come to
such fate because of the snfulness and ar
rogance and fear of men. Chat was it, you
know, they feared he would disturb their
way of life).
So the disciples were afraid to ask Him
Are we, too, afraid? Will we get in too
deep if we ask Him? What is demanded of us
if we follow Him? =
We have companied with Him along the
way From our youth we nave heard His
blessed words:"Thi is my commandment:
That we love one another. just asaI have
loved you I. If the world hates YOU rernem-
Der that it hated me first"
Yet we forget those words.
We FORGET what ST. Paul said in his 1st
letter to the Corinthians: q Cor 4:l2) MEN
curse us, butsWe return blessing: they make
our lives miserable but we take it patiently
They ruin our regulations but we go on try
ing to win them for God We are the worlds
rubbish the scum of the earth. yes. up to
this very day"
If you can accept that fact-thea fact that
the Church is different from the world, and
cannot accept the worlds standards, but must
be true to her Lord and Master7-then we
may come to replace the fear in our hearts
with love.
Perfect love casts out fear. AS those who
have been sealed with the cross of. Christ, we
shall no longer be afraid Of the present or
the future; no longer afraid to be on friendly
terms with any human being; no longer afraid
Of what men say; no longer afraid to speak,
Let all godly people rally to the cause.
Let us in the power of Christ nave done with
injustice and intimidation. There are enough
godly peeps III Your community to trans
form it. .sx4s
Let it not be said of US; They were
afraid to ask Him
