The Tchula High baseball team
has completed the best season
in many years, winning the Class

X Shoulders TO the Wheel
An Editorial
BY Chester Marshall

The announcement this week that the Arketex Ceramic CORPORA
uon OF Brazil Indiana had decided not to locate a Ceramic Tile plant
near Lexington was a disappointment o a great many people in Holmes
county, especially those who had worked so diligently for so many
months in hopes that another industry whose payroll would help bolster
our economy would locate in or county.
But with the disappointment came reinsurance that the untring
efforts of the people who worked to get this industry will have not
been in vain.
For, in part, this is what the Indiana firm wrote to the Lexington
Chamber of Commerce:
We have never worked with a group mor cooperative, sim
cere, determined and devoted than yours. We can, and viii, e.
commend Lexington, Mississippi, to any organization looking for
new plant Sites"
And SO with the passing of this industrial prospect to the dead
letter file, rather than take a defeatst attitude, " should put our
shoulders to the yheel and with even a more determined effort eek
another prospect and sell them n our community.
Competition for South-bound industry is keen, but with civic leaders
"m demonstrated ability such S we have among us, we shall not fail

City Officials Hear Planning
Hire Architect For Library

At a meeting Tuesday night, the,
Mayor and Board of Aldermen OF
Lexington heard an extensive e
port from a City Planning Engin-
eer, decided on the location site
Of the proposed library for the
city, voted to assist the Little Boys
League financially and ordered
advertisement for bids for repair
ing the city's water tank. They also
hired an architect to draw plans
for the library.
A representative of the Michael
Baker, Inc. of Jackson, City Plan
ming Engineers gave a general
report On a comprehensive plan
for an orderly future growth of
the City of Lexington. The Off
Gals had previously been in con-
tact with the firm in order to
draw up plans for the city.
Mayor Povall said the cost of
he comprehensive plan would be
less than SIC, 1000 and the Federal
Government would pay so per
cent of this cost. The plan would
include maps of the city showing
residential. commercial and in
dustrial zoning areas, and present
and future streets. A study would
be made of population trend in
the city and would include long
range housing plans and street i'm
provements. A study of raw ma
terials in the area would also be
included, making the overall plan
more attractive to future indus
trial prospects. The mayor said
the Officials will probably act
favorably to the idea of getting
the plan put in operation during
the next fiscal year which begins
in September.
The city officials also voted to go
ahead with original plans to build
the library on Telegraph Street,
behind DR.. Dumn's clinic, facing
the First Baptist Church. The Lii
brary Commission had previously
recommended the lot owned by
7. A. Lail, prior to the generous
offer last week by Mrs. o. D.
Hooker of a lot near the Health
Department building for a site for
the library. Mayor Povall said the
city officials felt that prior COM
mittments on locating the building
a to original plans weighed heav-
lily in making the decision. Mrs.
Hooker's offer was deeply appre-
ciated he said. Mr.. and Mrs. H L..
Nichols, Sr. recently donated
$4,000 to be applied to the con-
struction cost of the building and
the city of Lexington will pay the
balance of the approximate SIG, 900
cost for building the library.
T. N. Touchstone, architect of
Jackson, was hired to draw plans
for the building. Mr.. Touchstone
will meet with Mayor Povall and
Alderman Louie Beall Nichols to-
day Thursday to discuss the
building, with construction expected
to start in the near future.
