Health, which estimates that a
minimum of $40 million a year is
needed to fight mental illness ade-
quately.
Holland, a past president of the
Mississippi Junior Chamber of
Commerce and a vice-president in
the national Jaycee organization,
points out that there are now more
people in state mental hospitals at
Whitfield and Meridian than in all
other hospitals for all other dis
eases combined.
He called attention to the fact
that some 100000 Mississippi peo-
pie are mentally or emotionally dis
turbed and that one out of every
ten Mississippian will spend some
of their life in a mental hospital,
while less than two per cent of the
state budget is allocated for care
Of mental hospital patients.
Holland also listed the follow
ing additional facts about mental
illness in Mississippi as part of the
M. A. M. H. program in connec-
ton with the 1858 national Mental
Health Campaign to inform the
general public of the needs for i'm

We have got to obey the will of

Jesus Christ is the Fathers door

He set up the church in that new
heart
And it's known in his Fathers
name.
The house of worship for the chill

To praise God the Father on high

For the blood of Jesus Christ we

Gods people have all been born

Regardless if we are black or white.
We must live right to die right.

spect of an audience, which in the
main, was well acquainted with the
situation, the president review his
promises to teachers and students
and pointed out how he had filled
them. With an assertion of faith
in himself, in his state, in his So
ciety,, and in God, tie President
blueprinted the path which lies
ahead. He made a chart of the
course which emissions a new day
for Alcorn College in his renewed
attempt to render greater service
to our state and nation. Mr.. Boyd
named certain physical accommo-
dations that are sure to come and
he pointed out the great faith he
has in the Board of Education, in
tie State Legislature, and our
great Executive to provide for our
youth all. the opportunities which
under God they are entitled.
Having done his part, President
Boyd hurled a challenge to us as
he ended his address on a resound-
ing chord-the rights, the duties
and the responsibilities we have to
do our part in making this institu-
ton serve the purposes for which it
was created. He praised the de-
termination of the boys in track
and gave evidence of his deep love
| for the success of our school as his
genuius pictured in words the feel
ing of joy which encompassed him
as Griffin, through sheer courage
and logged determination drove
himself through the tapes to star
as Alcorn College went in front
to take the triangular meet.
This is the spirit of institutional
excellency which is the tone OF
the college. His scriptural refer
ences were symbolic of an abiding
faith for the success of his ysster-
days are evidences of the realiza-
ton of his dreams for tomorrow.
The president left us all dream
ing. Those dreams are symbols of
hope, of love, of faith. The stu
dents left the auditorium with the
spirit embodied in the Tempest:
"We are such stuff as dreams are
made on, and our little life is
rounded with a Sleep!

Pres. J. D. Boyd
Addresses Special
convocation

Alcorn College, Miss.-President
Boyd took stock of his stewardship
in brilliant address delivered in
the auditorium of the Prectice
School during a special convoca-
ton, Sunday March 80, 1858.
The CHEF executive of the Old
Land Grant College remembered
the special day when destiny ush-
cred him into the grave RESPONSE
bility of plotting his alma mater
through a troubled sea. He char
acterized himself as having shared
with Matthew Arnold in the re-
warding experience portrayed in
Sohrab and Rustum:
"For we are all; life swimmers
in the sea;
Poised on the top of a huge wave
of fate,
Which hanges uncertain to which
side to fall,
And whether it will heave us up to
land,
Or whether it will roll US out to
sea.
Back out to sea, to the deep waves
of death;
We know, not and no search will
make us know;
Only the event will teach US in it's
hour"
. Yes, that is the attitude tie
president took as he faced a task
almost as serious as the one which
developed upon Washington and
Lincoln. For it was a task so pro-
found in its significance, exacting
in its toll-a job which required
imagination, the faith of the faith
ers, the wisdom and patience of
Washington, the courage of Jack
son, the fortitude and forebearance
of Robert E. Lee and the versatile
ty of Franklin Roosevelt.

They said the President and
Treasury Secretary Robert B. An

making a tax move-if then.
Congress, however, may not
agree with their final conclusion.

Congress must act this year or

else taxes automatically will dror
June 80. Corporate rates would GO
down from So to AT per cent and .
number of excise levies would be
reduced including those on liquor
tobacco, autos and some othel
items.

sidered it highly unlikely anti-ta1

duction in the present 10 per cent

You and the Law
JURISDICTION
AND FUNCTION OF FEDERAL
COURT IN CIVIL CASES

COURT IN CIVIL CASES
Most citizens are somewhat
familiar with the jurisdiction and
function of the various state and
local courts although few persons
are familiar with the Jurisdiction
and function of the federal courts
in civil cases. These courts are
technically termed U. S. District
Courts and are courts of original
jurisdiction, that is, trial courts
in which cases can be filed
originally.
Not all cases Of a civil nature,
however, can be brought or tried
in federal courts. There are GER
tain requirements that must be
present before a lawsuit can be
heard in these courts. The basic
requirements for civil suits are
the controversy must involve a
matter in excess of the sum or
value of 100000 and either ID
a Federal law, treaty or the U. S.
Constitution is involved, or (2)
the controversy is between citi-
zens of different states, or (3) the
controversy is between a citizen
of a State and a citizen or subject
of foreign State. Obviously, the
vast majority of civil cases in
federal courts are those involving
matters in excess Of 100000 and
are between citizens of different
states, and of these many arise
out of traffic accidents. Any civil
rights case may be brought in
federal court regardless Of the
amount involved or the residence
of the parties.
The procedural rules applicable
in the federal district courts differ
greatly from the procedure appli-
cable in the state courts. Although
the pleadings generally in federal
district courts are not as complex
as in state courts, nevertheless
other remedies available in federal
courts enable litigants to obtain
more information about their adj
| versary's case. Another consider
alton is that in jury cases jurors
in state courts are citizens Of the
county or judicial district Of the
! county in which the case is heard,
whereas in federal courts the
Jurors are empanelled from the
division of the federal district
where the case is heard which
division usually comprises several
counties. Moreover, in civil &C
tons in. federal courts the jurors
must be unanimous in their
verdict but in state courts nine
Or more jurors may return the
verdict. Many other differences
should always be considered.
The successful prosecution OF
civil actions in federal district
courts depends largely on the
knowledge of procedural rules. A
qualified attorney should be con-
suited Immediately when ques-
tons arise. After comforting with
you, your attorney will be able to
advise you as to the best court for
any particular case.

EXCISE TAX SLASH SEEN
SURE ON CERTAIN ITEMS

WASHINGTON. - Congress is
almost sure to cut federal excise
taxes on autos and some other
items this year as minimum anti

These sources predicted the law
makers would approve at least linn
tied tax relief for depressed" in

The forecast was made by highly

engaged in a behind the scenes
campaign to get business to con-

stimulate business enough to take
some of the steam out of the cur
rent drive for tax reduction.
