Auto Show
AT MvC

Itta Bena, Miss, Jan. p -
Glamor in all its splendor captured
the day at Mississippi Vocational
College Wednesday as the Auto
Department presented its 1st An
nual Auto Show featuring an array
of 1857 models.
The presentation was made UNI
der the auspices Of David Edwards,
head Of the college Auto Depart
ment with the local dealers of the
area cooperating.
Mr.. Edwards dreamed up the
idea after seeing the ST show over
television to give the students
chance to see the new innovations
in auto engineering and to present
the learned skills of auto mechanic
students enrolled in the depart
ment.
This years show featured styles
by Chevrolet, Ford, Buick, Odds
mobile, Studebaker, Mercury,
DodSe ana Pontiac. Cooperating
with the program were: Wurth
Buick, Delta Chevrolet and Moore
and McDavid, all dealers of Green
wood, Mississippi. Delta Motors,
Narmour Brothers Studebaker and
Indianola Motor Company of In
dianola, Mississippi. Their coop
Grafton provided startling and
glamorous automobiles.
The presentation was presented
at 10 A. M. Wednesday morning
with the College Orchestra provid-
ing tuneful music as the many
spectators viewed the models and
exhibits.
Mr.. Edwards announces during
the presentation that the affair
will be held annually with live pro-
jects and designs of students ACHE
vements in auto engineering. The
College Auto Department trains
auto repairmen in areas of engine
and body.

Aid To The Schools

In his budget request for Federal aid to the state
for school construction President Eisenhower is making
good his promise to ask Congress to carry out in four
years program previously planned for five The rea
son is, of course, that nothing accomplished by
Congress in this last year. and the need today is
just as great and just urgent it when the
President first submitted his revised school-ad plan
twelve months ago.
The basic Administration figure of grants-in-aid
to the states of $125 billion remains the though
it would be distributed 20 per cent shorter time
span Of the S451 million in obigational authority bud
geted for 1853 the President would earmark 1925 mil
lion for the first year of the program The remainder
would be aocated to Federal purchase of local scnool
bonds with proposals of financially liberal nature
The method of distributing these huge differs,
too We reerate Often-expresSed belief that to give
money to the states for school construction a
"flat grant e. exclusively the size of their
schoolage population, would be unwse and ursound We
think fairer method is that proposed by the Adj
mnstraton to take into account the per capita income
of the respective states and also their relative effort
expenditure schools.
No matter how much money is voted which
method of distribution is adopted the thing most
likely to kill Federal schoolad bill is the kind of anti
segregation amendment offered in the last Congress
by Representative Powell of New York The segregation
question is being handled by the courts, where it be-
longs. To force it into schooad legislation simply
means death for the latter We against segre

Forecast Domestic Demand For All Oil
To Average 9, 28s, 900 B0PD For 1857

Washington - Domestic demand
for all oils in 1857 will increase 81
per cent to- 9,289,00O barrels per
day, according to a forecast by the
Bureau of Mines.
Among the various categories,
gasoline demand is forecast to rise
40 per cent compared to a "A
per cent rise in 1856. Distillate
fuel oil demand should increase by
6.S per cent based upon normal
weather, it was stated. The demand
of 81 per cent forecast for the "all
other" category results primarily
from gains for jet fuel, asphalt,
and liquefield petroleum gases.
The Bureau stated the forecast
assumes that the Suez Canal block
ade and it's effect upon petroleum
supply and demand in the United
States will not extend past the
first two quarters of 1857. Ex-
ports of crude oil are forecast at
433 900 barrels daily in the first
quarter and 242,000 barrels daily
in the second quarter. Product ex-
ports, primarily Of distillate fuel
oil, are expected to be high in the
first quarter.
No change was forecast for crude
stocks. Withdrawals from crude
stocks during the first half of the
year to meet the unusual export
demand will be replaced during the
second half of the year, it was
stated. Product stocks, which rose
over 40 million barrels during 1856,
are expected to be reduced by 10
million barrels during 1857.
Crude oil imports in the first
half of the year are forecast to
decline by approximately the guam
tity of Middle East oil previously
consumed. Imports are forecast to
return to pre-Suez levels in the
second half of 1857.
Crude oil production is forecast
to gain &C per cent in 1857 to an
average of $4,000 barrels daily,
up from 7,14S,O0O barrels daily in
1866. Output is expected to be
highest during the first quarter
when 100000 barrels per day is
forecast.
January Forecast
The Bureau estimated at $780,
900 barrels daily the amount of do
mestic crude petroleum that will
be consumed or exported in Janu-
airy. This compares with 7,725,O0O
barrels daily forecast for December
1856.
Domestic demand in the fourth
quarter of 1856 is estimated to
have been 2.3 per cent greater than
the corresponding quarter Of 1865.
Fuel oils showed a small decline
from the colder last quarter of

Royalite Plans
Big Development
Canada Area

Calgary-Royalite Oil Co. Ltd.
and associates plan spending up to
$5O,OOO,OOO in the next four years
on development of the fabulous
Athabasca oil sands $50 miles
northeast of Edmonton.
Ray Althouse Of Calgary, Royal
lite president, announced plans for
erection of separation and process
ing plants and 350-mile pipeline
to Edmonton from the deposits,
said to contain the worlds largest
known reserves of oil.
The property which Royalite and
it's associates have on lease is esti-
mated to contain 1,0OO,O00,000 bar
rels of oil. The promoters hope to
produce a premium grade Of oil.
Since 1897 many companies have
failed to extract oil commercially
from the deposits which cover 3d.
900 square miles with estimated re-
reserves Of from 100000, 900, 900 to
100000, 100000 barrels OF OIL.
Royalties initial plans call for
construction of a separation plant
and a 10000 barrels-a-day process
sing plant on the company's 3d.
OOO-acre lease at Mildred Lake.
The company expects the sep
aration and processing plants to
be installed in 1858.
Heavy construction would be
concentrated in 1869 with the
building Of the plant and a $50
mile pipeline to Edmonton" Mr..
Althouse said.
Royalite, an oil company en-
gagged in exploration, production,
manufacturing and marketing Of
petroleum products, estimates the
entire project will be ready for OPP
GRAFTON by 1860.
Construction will begin after the
spring breakup this year. During
the summer, crews will clear away

Miss. Researchers
Study Dairy
Cotton Farming

The prospect of small-scale
dairy-cotton farming in the Prairie
soil area of east Mississippi has
been studied as an experiment sta
ton project on 160-acre plot
farm near West Point, Miss.
Over a five-year period, the
farm crossed annually an average
of $13,940 out of which was paid
$9,887 in operating expenses. About
two-thirds of the returns came
from milk; and the rest from cot
ton, poultry, grain and hay.
However, poultry and egg pro-
duction was discontinued in 1854
when results showed that a much
larger unit and more careful man
agement would be needed to make
it profitable. Poultry and egg pro-
duction was never considered as
especially desirable for this farm
because of location, facilities, and
feeds available.
Principal items of expenses for
the whole farm were: purchases of
dairy animals, seed, fertilizer, and
insecticides, hired labor, and hired
machinery.
The researchers conclude that
dairy-cotton farming on this scale
and level of management has earn
ing possibilities. Returns can be
increased, they say, by cutting la
Dor costs, and by increasing milk
production thorugh further herd
improvement and more intensive
production of grains and hays for
hnme-feeds.

Negroes Bodies
Pile UpIn
Fla. Morgue

Miami, Fla, Jan. 21-Unclaimed
bodies of Negroes are beginning to
pile up at the office of the Dade
County medical examiner.
Cause of the excessive number is
the refusal of Negro undertakers
to dispose of the bodies at discrimi-
natory prices.
The county pays white under
takers 500 to bury each unclaimed
white body but only $50 for Negro
burials. The Negro undertakers
organized and sought equal pay
for their services. So far the county
commissioners still balks.
D. Stanley Durlacher, county
medical examiner, told the COM
mission Wednesday that the five
adults and seven infant bodies are
creating a problem for his office.
Some of the bodies have been held
since November.

Lang is innocent of the 1854 rape
and Moody guilty of that crime.
Here Monday to attend a statewide
convention of Mississippi sheriffs,
Governor Coleman said he would
take no further action in the Lang
case and that if there is further
action it must come in the courts.
Moody confessed the 1856 rape
and at the request of the victim
was allowed to plead guilty and
accept a life sentence. Soon there
after, police discovered that finger
prints lifted from a windowsill of
the home where the crime for
which Lang was convicted occurred
are those of Moody. A ring of the
1854 rape victim, stolen along with
a billfold on the night of the rape,
was also found in the possession
of Moody's wife.
These developments opened new
Investigations and Moody was re-
turned here for questioning. He
steadfastly denied the 1854 crime,
but readily admits the 1856 rape.
The 1854 victim also confines to
identify Lang as her rapist. She
maintains that the rapist warned
her that he had a "buddy" with
him in the house and that she and
her child would be killed if she
made cutlery.
Lang's arrest came a year after
the 1854 rape. He was tried and
convicted in 1866. During the trial,
Lang steadily mentioned his in
nocence. The State Supreme Court
upheld the conviction and the
United State Supreme Court re-
fused to review the case.
Pending the outcome of the ap-
peals Lang was held here and had
not new developments been brought
out would have been transferred
to the state prison two months
ago. During the new investigation,
Lang and Moody were held in the
same cell at the Laurel Jail. They
got along we'll together, Jailer
Homer Fleming said.

to cry
When death comes for you, you
surely will die
No doctor has the power of this
death
When death comes for you it takes
your breath.
The breath of man is the soul we
are told
God blew breath into mans nos
trils
And he became to be a living soul
And the news went out from young
and old.
Why wonder what is the soul of
man
When Gods Holy Bible makes it
so plain
He blew breath into his nostrils
And a soul there was named.
Wake up my people before it is
too late
Because Jesus stands at Heavens

If your heart is not thoroughly

You can look for Jesus to segre-

God made Adam out of the dust we

Before Jesus came to this world
Then he blew breath into his nos

And he became a living soul.
We need to segregate Gods House
Jesus said for US to separate
We have filled Gods House with
bastards today
And I am afraid it is now too late.
Jesus said for us to love We one

Jesus gave his life on that cross
And died on Calvary's great hill.
We can not see Gods kingdom at

Unless we follow Jesus Christ all

Jesus Christ is our leader you see
