Hostess Takes Bugs
0ut OF Entertaining

Summer dining is apt to take
place anywhere-by patio, pool
side, lawn or merely on a cool
corner of the porch. But there
are several ways of making it
easy as q breeze.
An ordinary muffin tin, enam-
eled or spray-painted in CLAM
orous gilt, makes a good glass
carrier. An ordinary wicker roll
basket, sprayed to match, be-
comes q good silver holder for
the table. The family wheelbar-
row can be painted and foil-lined
to serve as an ice-holder for chill
ing pop bottles. A copper wash
boiler can be shined-up for corn
and lobster-broiling tasks. Use
young Bobby's red wagon to roll
out the watermelon dessert.
AS for those unlimited
guests, those picnic pests, it's
now possible to have a picnic
without ants! Just wax your out
door table and chair legs and pic
mic and beverage baskets with
Freewax, new wax discovery that
spreads an insecticidal film over
surfaces. It gives q high gloss
protective finish to all surfaces
as well as all floors. At the same
time it kills crawling pests such
as ants, spiders and other pesky
bugs that pop up from nowhere
in hot, humid weather. This self
polishing wax has the Parents
Magazine seal Of approval.
In waxing out-of-door surfaces
like patios, porch floors or area
ways, it's important to use q wax
that will not water spot, peel, or
crack. New Freewax, developed
in Florida and proven across the
u. 8. to kill "bugs" and ease the
hot-weather headache Of floor
care, can be damp-mopped with
out destroying its bug barrier.
The only other Dug" in out
door eating is likely to be sum-
mer breezes. To thwart windy
woes, add q small pocket to the
inside edges Of the tablecloth and
weight each corner down with
small pebbles put inside.

France, South OF The Sahara

Once again, as in North Africa, the problem for
france in what is called black Africa" will be to move
FAST enough and generously enough toward development
OF the FrenchAfrican partnership which the de Gaule
draft constitution envisages
Premier de Gaulle's aims for African self-govern-
ment within federal system which will include France
and its overseas territories could bring French West
and Central Africa the substance of both freedom and
prosperity But British colonial rule has only Just
been able to keep up with the pressures for ndepend
ence IN colonial territories and to merge these terri
tories into the Brtish-led Commonwealth of Nations
as they achieved selfgovernng status The record of
French rule shows to have been more rigid it does not
inspire much hope among nonse governing peo
pie.
Perhaps Premier de Gaule will be able to convince
Africans that his regime does really represent sharp
break with the French colonial past He is reported as
preparing for visit to equatorial Africa in order to
strengthen bonds of sentiment and understanding while
seeking to loosen those political ties that do not
80 much bind chafe.
Whether the Africans whose loyalty he seeks choose
self government within federal framework or follow
some OF their ambitious leaders who talk of vast
independent African nation it is to be hoped they will
do with their eyes open to two major influences in
world affairs today One of these advocates the break
ing up of old colonial systems while imposing new
coloniasm OF centrally directed sngle-party govern
ment not only Oh undeveoped regions but fully de-
veoped states The other seeks to supplant colonial
systems with new associations of peoples fgoverr-
ing at home but also committed to mutual supnort

INSURANCE TIPS
By vssioi lennon. General MonoSss
National Assoeiasion Of Independent
Are We Shoveling Send
Against The Tide?

A friend of mine recently asked,
"Why do insurance companies
spend so much time and money
promoting traffic safety when
each year we kill as many or
more people on the highways as
the year before? Aren't you SHOW
cling sand against the tide?"
It's true that as many people
are being killed in traffic acct
dents as before. In 1885, for ex-
ample, $4,000 people died; in
1941-39,00O; in 1943-32, 900;
in 1954-36,000; and last year,
more than $4,000. But, we must
remember that the average auto
mobile was driven nearly 1000
miles further in 1857 than in
1885, and that there were more
than twice as many cars on the
road.
These figures mean that if we
had made no progress since 1885,
if the death and accident rates
per 100 million miles driven had
stayed the same, nearly 100000
people would have died on our
highways last year instead of
$4,000; we would have injured
100000 people instead of
100000; and we'd have had
$4,000, 600 property damage &C.
cidents instead Of 100000.
Putting it another way, last
year about $4,000 people did not
die in traffic accidents; 1,700, 900
aOere not injured; and 1890, 900
property damage accidents Just
didn't happen.
Thus, we have definite proof
that we know how to do things
which will reduce the number Of
accidents. Certainly, the progress
we've made so far-and not kill
ing 10000 people is progress in
my book = should encourage
every one of US to do better. /.
Definitely, we are not shoveling
sand against the tide.

The Second.
Summer Session
AT AIeorn-A
Huge Success

The second session OF Alcorns
1853 summer school fades into his
tory with more than five hundred
teachers improved by the quiet
study in this gentle and calm at
mosphere.
DR.. Jessie A. Morris, director
of the summer school, reports that
all of the teachers, including the
guest professors from many Of the
better schools Of the nation, have
done a tremendously fine job. They
have worked to improve the know
ing-power and the doing-pOwer Of
those fine individuals who are dedi-
Gated to the tasks Of developing
the youth of the state of Missis-
sippi into total personalities cap
able of contributing to the better
world of our dreams. It has in
deed been a splendid session. The
!highlights of it were the splendid
entertainments given by the Rec
reation Department with Mrs. Pat
tie Hill in charge of most of the
activity and Mr.. Grant A. Dungee,
Director of Physical Education,
playing a decisive role.
The elementary demonstration,
headed by Mrs. Addie Williams
from North Carolina, was a re-
warding experience and Mrs. N. N.
Buchanan conducted a library
demonstration that was helpful, ed
vocational, inspirational and enter
tanning.
In the dining hall, the summer
school graduates were entertained
with Mrs. Hill, the Mistress of
Ceremonies. President Boyd gave
them the challenge Of today's
world and stressed the importance
of character as well as informa-
ton in leadership. The president
opened the doors of the institution
for the services of the public, max
ing clear that it is Alcorn's desire
to do what it can to make Missis-
sippi richer in its contribution to
our nation, to our world. Tokens
were presented to the members Of
the graduating class, in a unique
manner, by Mrs. J. d. Boyd. The
whole summer was rich and whole
some socially, morally, intellectual
ly, and spiritually.

Did you know there are 33 de-
tergents and many other wash
ing aids on the market? Small
wonder we housewives become
confused and ask: (Which deter
gent should l use?", and "am I
using it correctly" Well, here's
good news, girls-one automatic
washer manufacturer has un-
raveled the mystery of the super
market shelf and taken that
witches brew out of detergents"!
How? BY developing a washer
which automatically adds the de-
tergent, bleach or other washing
aid at exactly the right time and
without stopping the washing
operation.

NIGHT: 1t may not be what is
going on around you that1l always
attract your attention, which is
what I've learned from settin down
eating my feesh and drinking my
beer, and / suspect that there is
some other places and situations
where your mind amt always on
what is going on around you, or
maybe it'll be better for me to say
it's lack my Grandma used to tell
me when reminding me to keep my

would always say when / would be
churning the milk or freezing the

looking off into space, Boy, Keep
Your Mind on What You're Doing
This is what / couldn't help
thinking about when / set down to
my fish and beer, and thought
about the folks / know that's been
killed and manned in automobile
accidents, and which led me to put
something down here about what l
thought my grandma would say to
them that's left who amt been
MANNED and broken up or killed in
an automobile accident. Of course
grandma would say nothing to
you about what you got in you
while you driving your automobile,
not liking the stuff at all l suspect
if you got MANNED or killed while
full of something like that all she'd
say would've been, Well, that's
what aughta happened to EN- D..
But / amt talking about nothing
what's in you, cause it's too many
folks getting maimed-up and killed
for all of 'em to be full of some
thing outside of what's on their
minds / heard where the folks
say what knows that more folks
done got killed in automobiles, here
lately, than was killed in the last
two wars, and as / said, because it
came up on me while was eating
my fish and drinking my beer, and
I couldn't git it off my mind, l
thought I'd say to you'alls here
this week, that whilst you driving
you automobiles, if you don't want
to git maimed-up, which means II
you don't want to get your arm,
neck, leg, or back broke, and II
YOU don't want to git killed,
means dead, you better do like
Grandma used to tell me when
she would say, Boy, Keep Your
