AIcorn Students
Hear Civil Defense
Message Tuesday

Major Golden B. Branch, U. S.
Air Force, Jackson, Mississippi, de-
livered an inspiring and informa-
tive message on Civil Defense to
the students of Alcorn A. & NJ.
College Tuesday morning at Lor-
man, Mississippi.
The Major stressed the import
ance of civil defense units in know
ing the types of planes, domestic
and foreign, that are existant in
the world today. 1t was pointed
out that, the fact that any point
in the world is now vulnerable to
air attack means that all of us
must have knowledge of the de-
struction capabilities of foreign
aircraft.
Speaking. so that even the lay
man could understand, Major
Branch told of the types of planes
being used by the Russians and
gave indication of their range and
capabilities. "Civil Defense" the
Major said, means much to much
to the total defense of our country,
militarily and otherwise.
Sgt. Wilson Air Force Civil De-
Tense Commission for the state OF
Mississippi appraised the students
of how a civil defense unit operates
and also pointed out how one could
one could be set up at the college.
Plans are presently being formu-
lated towards organizing a unit

Modern silk fabrics, including
designs favored by the leading
fashion houses of New York,
Paris, London and Rome, were
recently flown over from Japan
for exhibition at the Japan
Trade Center, New York. They
attracted unbounded admiration
from the public.
Silk, accidentally discovered
1900 years ago by 14-yc2r-olo
Empress Hai-Ling-Shi of China,
is still known as the worlds
most luxurious fabric. No other
fabric lends itself so magnifi-
Gently to the artistry of the
weaver or designer.
But did you know
That the worlds most expen-
sive silk, costing about $3.50 for
a length ten yards by twelve
inches wide, is hand-woven in
Yuki, small town near Tokyo,
by the same process used 600
years ago?
That Japan, besides producing
outstanding silk fabrics, also
produces more than rs per cent
of the worlds raw silk?
That the finest Italian and
French silks, as well as most of
American silk fabrics, use Japa-
nese raw silk in their manufac-
ture? Some $4,000 farming
families in Japan are engaged
in sericulture, or silkworm-
cocoon raising.
That the Japanese government
has passed laws to maintain the
health and silk-producing quail
ties of the silkworm, and only
licensed silkworm-egg raisers
may sell eggs? This is to pre-
vent disease, preserving the best
strains.

South Africans.
High on this list is legislation
to put segregation of Whites and
Non Whites at those few universe
ties where students are currently
permitted to mix.
To help pay for increased cost
of education which government
schemes have brought about, legis-
lation will also be introduced to in
crease the African head tax of
nearly $500 yearly which has re-
manned constant since 1925.
Also expected is a law to ban
demonstration at Union Building,
the Pretoria headquarters of the
government, which would presum-
ably eliminate such protest meet
ings as those held at the site of the
Black Sab Women in protest
against the extremes of the Gov
ernments race policy.

WHY LOSE YOUR CHILD FOR
SUCH A CHEAP PRICE? OBEY
GODS WILL = BE SAVED
Some mothers and fathers today
Are guilty as we'll as the child
When you fail to train and spare
the rod
The child is not worth while.
They have no respect for mother
or father
And old age just the same
You are filling Gods world with
no good race
It's a low down dirty shame.
You claim you own a part in Christ
With a child of your own not
trained
The Lord said for you to train your
child
Don't you know that you are to
blame?
He said for you to train your child
The way that he should go
With a child coming in at l o'clock
at night
And telling you to open the door
V
You are guilty of them growing
UP wrong
BY failing to teach Gods will
Jesus shed his blood for all to obey
On the cross on Calvary's Hill.
VI
Disobeying sends US to hell, the
truth must be told
We must obey the will of our God
Why spare the rod on your child
And make your way sc hard?
VII
1t is easy to obey Gods will
Christ said, "My yoke is easy
And my burdens are all light"
Why not obey Gods will while it
is day and not night?
Yes sir is right, yes nam also
Stop making men and women spar
in the rod
III ia nhA,,1I old
And your way would be so hard.
TX
If you fail to train your child and
spare the rod
And looking for Heaven as we'll
The child and its parents have a
poor chance
Looks like it is poing to be He'll.
X
You can give children all of the
degrees
In every course CT study as well
When you snare the rod and spoil
the child
Somebody is going to He'll.

That silk is the strongest of
all natural fbers? A filament of
silk is stronger than a like fila
ment of steel. Silk will stretch
20 per cent of it's own length
without breaking, and return to
it's original length.
That the American public, in
GLIDING males, use more silk to-
day than at any time since the
end of World War II? In 1856,
almost three times as much silk
was used as in 1854 and the
