The angry King issued orders
to his troops to fight. A tele-

King Saud issued orders putting
his troops in Jordan at the dis

The Saudi defense minister
told the Saudi commander in
Jordan his troops should hence

the Jordan army.
This order has not been coun-

HEALTH REPORT
Progress Made,
States Director
By Felix Underwood. M. D.

Mississippi Progress" is more
than good slogan. The progress
Of our state in recent years is a
fact that can be backed up with
solid figures on our population,
our expanding industry and
wealth, our growing cities, our
hospitals, our public health ia
cilities, and our schools.
But Mississippi can continue
to flourish if - and only if -
our population maintains high
standards of health and educa-
ton. Health services must keep
pace with the changes that have
been made in conditions under
which our citizens live. 1t is not
only a matter of increased ser
vices for larger population, but
different kinds Of public health
services are also needed if the
problems created by urbaniza-
ton and industrialization are to
be met. We want badly to see
Mississippi profit from the pro-
gress being made in public health
and medical science.
People living in city or its
suburbs, working under modern
conditions, must have certain
fundamental community services.
Sanitation services such as the
supervision of water and sewage
facilities inspection of process
sing of haandlin go floods and
milk, housing and slum clear
ance, must be given proper time
an dattention. AS industries and
cities grow, stream pollution and
aair pollution must be control
led. Accident hazards increase
with modern ways of living, and
accident prevention on the road,
at home and in industry demand
more attention as accidents be-
come a leading cause of death
in the age group l to As.
In the rush of progress, we
must not neglect the rural areas.
Rural children, now more than
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1957-04-04

ever, need the health protection
that will enabl ethem to grow
up fit to face conditions in a
revitalized Mississippi.
The demand for environmental
health services has been an i'm
portant factor in the establish
ment of local, county and district
health units. Each local health
department must be made strong
enough to do a satisfactory job.
This means more trained people
and better facilities on both the
local and state levels. The CEN
tralized services of the State
Tealth Department must at all
times well stated and equipped
to give the local units the help
they need and together do the
job of preventing an dcontrolling
all diseases amenable to public
health and medical control.

Farmers Finding
Lambs Profitable

Sheep raising has been proven
a profitable enterprise by a
group of Sunflower County
farmers, especially Leslie Flet-
cher. In November he bought
100 lambs from 5 to 6 months
old and with his own carry-over
flock, he had 358 to fatten for
the spring market. The animals
have grazed out in pastures Of
oats, rye, peas and vetch. AL
ready about 60 have been sold
and within a few days he hopes
to have disposed of almost all
the flock.
They have been sheared twice
and the wool will be marketed
through the Inverness wool pool.
The wool about pays for the up
keep of the ewes, making the
lambs clear.

| WAS BUSY LAST WEEK

The deacon beside me Said,.
Brother Moore, 7 have certain
ly been busy this week. I was
in our Baptist college, and
taught several classes of fine
youngS students.
"The same day was across
the state ministering to a sick
man in, our Baptist hospital.
"The next day found me in
New Orleans witnessing to a
down-and-out man, and in a
western village telling them Of
Jesus"
My original reaction to his
tive been busy" had by now
given way to incredulity.
He continued, after I took
food to some boys and girls in
our children's home, I went to
Japan. There I listened to the
testimonies of those whom God
had recently saved, and shared
with the crowd my own expert
ence of how Jesus saves from
sim"
BY now I was thinking, what
is wrong with this man?" But
I knew him well. He was not
only sane and sound, but he
was a distinguished college pro-
fessor, Ralph Donnell. What
could he mean?
Still he continued, "The same
week found me in OgbomoSho,
Africa, ministering to leperS. And
then I was in Jerusalem before
a small group of burdened peo-
pie. Almost unconsciously the
words came forth: For God so
loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that
whoSoever believeth on him
should not perish, but have eter-
nal life
I'm Jerusalem? My friend, are
you ill, or what is wrong?" I
asked.
Neither ill nor wandering in
my mind. I am merely telling
you a few of the things I did
this past week. You see, I put
a part of myself in the offering
plate in our church Sunday" "

In spite of what the critics say
Love men through grace that God imparts
When at the feet of Christ you pray.

And love- heart, love on, love on!

Fantastic it might sound-but
it was true. Gov. Parker was

Precedent Set
The decision that bureau
agents would be sent to aid Gov.
Parker was regarded as a prece-
dent that would affect future
police relationships between the
States and the Federal Govern
ment. The agents began working
'undercover, themselves hunted
by Klansmen at times. But
slowly they pieced together the
story.
The Khan controlled the whole
of northern Louisiana by terror.

The power of the Khan was
