If your house

If your home should burn,
It is still going to cost you a

buy a new house.
Don't keep thinking about
what your house cost you in

ago. Building costs and home
values have risen greatly in
recent years. Think: how
much would it cost me to du-

the supervision of a separate
Board representing each of the

Council work has already paid big
dividends and promises to be of
increasing value and Importance.
Mr.. Holmes said that On March
1, letters would be mailed to all
Delta Council members remind
ing them that dues for the coming
year are payable. At the same
time, letters will be mailed to
prospective members inviting
them to join the organization.
Follow-up action through county

In 1855 the Hornets won the BIZ

Again in 1856 they were declar-
ed District A BIB champs and run

Wool

Lamb producers should keep in
mind that only unshorn lambs
will be eligible for lamb payments
under the wool program, Mr..
Lynn Jordan, Chairman of the
Holmes Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation County Commit
tee, advised today.
The program is authorized by
the National Wool Act. It provides
for incentive payments based on
the iveweight of the unshorn
lambs that have been marketed.
Payment is calculated on the ba-
sis of the shorn wool incentive
payment, the average weight
of wool per hundred pounds Of
lamb, and the value of lamb wool
in relation to shorn wool.
Payments on lambs sold be-
tween April 1, 1858, and March 81,
1859, will be made this summer
when the average yearly prices re
ceived by grocers can be deter
mined. Lambs sold after March
81, 1859, will be eligible for pay
ment under the 1859 program
which runs from April /, 1859,
through March 81, 1860.
Chairman Jordan explained that
the lamb payment is made under
the wool program in order to ero
courage the normal marketing OF
lambs with the wool on. Without
this payment, there might be I'M
usual shearing of lambs in order
to obtain the incentive payment OF
shorn wool.
Lamb producers are urged tC
keep full sales contracts and other
records pertaining to the purchase
and sale of unshorn lambs. These
records are required when the APP
p~lication for payment is filed in
the ASC county office.

Announcing plans for the 1859
membership drive, Delta Council
President r. P. Parish of Green
wood said that the campaign
would get under way on March 1.
Miller P. Holmes, Yazoo City,
Delta Council treasurer, is chair
man of the membership commit
tee.
In announcing plans for the
drive, Mr.. Parish said that every
person in the entire area profits
from the work of Delta Council.
Since agriculture accounts for the
major portion of area income, a
great deal of the Councils work is
in that field; however, Delta Coun-
Gil is just as much a business and
professional mans organization"
Mr.. Parrish stated. Its program
of work, carried on through IL
major committees, is concerned
with every phase of the areas
economy. Committee members,
officers and directors represent
the best agricultural, business,
and professional leadership of the
area and the results of their COM
bined planning and action have
paid huge dividends to the area
and state"
Mr.. Holmes said that an effort
would be made this year to enlarge
the Delta Council membership to
permit the Council to keep pace
with the expanded demand for
activities and services. Member
ship in Delta Council is a sound
investment in the future of the Is
Delta and part-Delta counties"
Mr.. Holmes stated, land every
person living in the area or doing
business in the area should sup
port the work of the organiza-
ton"
In addition to its agricultural
and area development activities,
two years ago Delta Council
launched a full-time, l~ong-range
industrial and community deve-
lopment program with the approx
al and support of the Boards of
Supervisors of the area. Objec-
tives of the program are to pro-
vide additional job opportunities
through the location of new in
dustries and the expansion of bus
mess in the area and to work with
individual communities in deve-
lopment efforts. Carried on under

fused with the many COM
ments that accompany such an
effort, and the. ultimate result
is that nothing is accomplished
s. it only retards the educa-
tional processes so badly need
ed by the children of our area.
1t is logical to think that the
time has come for an honest
appraisal of our schools be
exercised by capable, enter
prising people. AS it appears
now, many persons involved
are eagerly anticipating the
opportunity to acclaim victory
as personal issue.
1t is safe to assume that this
approach never will become a
reality, for these eager beav-
ers seemingly lack the per-
sonal integrity and esteem of
the public to do what is best
for our community, and best
for our children.
Time is running out for
many school districts in Noble
county. The present law is
clear, that after Dec. 81 the
state can withhold or refuse
financial support to any school
district that does not conform
with certain operational re-
quirements.
One particularly f f e c t S
every high school in the
county system as well as the
exempted district of Caldwell
:. regardless of size that
a high school must have a
pupil enrolment of 240. Dis
tricts that do not comply with
this requirement are at the
mercy of the state board of
education and stand a chance
of having their charters
revoked. However, some leni-
ency is being extended to those
districts only lacking in this
one respect.
With no exception, there
isn't a school in the county
that could operate more than
four months if foundation
money or state subsistence was
not forthcoming. This fact is
significant, especially since a
number of schools have grant
ed substantial salary increases
within the last month.
With student enrolment in
creasing and problems becom-
ing more complexed a deter
mined effort must be initiated
by those persons possessed
with the know-how and in
tegrity to do what is BEST for
the advancement of the area
educational program for our
children.

"Reopproiso| Needed To Achieve Better
Understanding Of Local School Problem

A question often asked these
days by those vitality interested
in education :. what has been
accomplished and what does
the future holds for our chill
dren in making possible for
them the best in educational
advantages?
Looking back over the past
three or four years, the turn
OF events certainly indicate a
most disheartening, alarming
situation . f. with respect to
improving the educational pro-
gram from a local level.
What plans are being form
ulated by the various camps of
thoughts with the anticipation
of alleviating the local tur-
bulent state of affairs are not
definitely known. but occa-
sionally a whisper of hope is
voiced.
Just how deep the scars of
past conflicts have penetrated,
it is rather difficult to say.
This expression was made
recently by a member of the
anti-consolidation group
che never had opposed the con-
solidation movement" This
statement seems a bit out of
order for it is a known fact
that his name was closely as
sociated with the letter which
was publicized incorporating
the words ''irrevocably op-
posed" to the idea of ever
joining a county consolidation
movement.
This bit of hedging now only
leans on the sacrilegious side.
Such expressions result in
added confusion and disrepect
for the individual when an
actual attempt is made to
clarity the extremely involved
school problem.
The same off-side thinking
has been expressed by persons
actively allied with the thought
of consolidating area schools.
Voiced bitterness by men,
bers of this group against the
opposition, and their apparent
determination to attempt to
offset any movement to bring
needed harmony within the
school district groups only
broadens the breach that now
exists.
After reviewing the past few
years of activities where eff
forts have been made to bring
about some solution, it is quite
apparent that som e ing
should be attempted to bring
the camps Of thoughts togeth-
er, for obviously nothing can
be accomplished without a
closer understanding of all
