Weather
Outlook

The outlook for the Miss. Delta
for Mid-October through Mid
November calls for below nor
NAL temperatures and near nor
NAL rainfall. Afternoon tenpera-
lures will average near 70 and
nighttime temperatures in the
lower 40'S. Rainfall for the next
80 days will average about a
inches with few places having
only about 2 inches and others
as much or more than 6 inches.
The main track of low pres
sure systems is due to extend
from Texas coast into the South
eastern States. Sunshine will be
good deal less over the Delta
than it was during the past 30
days and drying conditions, as
a result, will not be as good.
Field conditions Will be too wet
to work for several 4 to S day
periods due to the decrease In
drying power.
With a pattern of cool high
pressure systems moving down
from Canada into fho central
part of the country, the first
frost is likely to occur before the
normal time. Some light frost is
likely on the last of October;
however, the first % degree
temperature, or killing frost, is
not lightly until the first part
of November.

Several wears ago Fl. L. Men
cken in ridic,ile, call the Deep

In his first inaugural address
President Eisenhower quoted a
great Frenchman as saying
more than hundred years ago.
II did not find the source of
Americas greatness in her min
es and factories. I found it not in
her legislative halls and great
tribunals; I found it not in her
nightly mineral resources and
fertile fields; I found it not in
her forests and strong harbors.
1t was only when I entered the
churches of America and heard
the pulpits laundering against
unrighteousneSs that / diScov-
cred the true sources of Amer
ica's greatness. America is
great because America is good.
IF America ever ceases to be
good. then she will cease to be
great"
We feel that the Deep South
is the last citadel of real Christ
ianity and it is a privilege to
live in and be a part of such an
area. We chose Mississippi be-
cause it is at part of the Bible.

The steel strike is still on at
this writing and now it has been
called the STEAL strike be-
cause it has robbed thousands of
men of their jobs. We can hard
ly understand the demands
made of industry as the steel
workers get the highest pay OF
any workers in the world.
1t appears that the labor I'M
ion leaders are more powerful
than the government itself
and when some labor leader
starts making demands there is
no rhyme or reason for it. The
men who created industry to
furnish jobs have little to saw
in how his business may be op-
Grated if these labor tycoons
want a voice in management and
a big share of profits. Where
such a vicious cycle will end
nobody knows.

Seriously, why did I make
such a change in middle life?

personal reasons first.

When l first arrived in Louis

conner, on my feeling concer-
ming such things as Indignation.

My wife and / are Southern
ers from generations back. You
see, I was descended from the

more questions.
For years we have appre-
ciated the courtesy, kindness
and refinement that we have al
vavs associated with Southern
0eonle, and VIC liked all Miss

met.
Our convictions have beer

we have been received and wei
coined to Mississippi. Louis

pies and cakes and candy, flo
wers, coffees, dinners, banquets

intended to make a change. Fol

Investigation of these TV quiz

The average viewer of them

thought that he had the answer

It's forests are valuable and

Mississippi has a thousand and

green and growing forests. Lum-
Der and plywood are basic build
ing materials for homes; chur-
ches, schools, factories, brid-
ges, freight cars. furniture, farm
buildings and hundreds of other
structures.
Our state relies on its grow
ing forests to an ever increasing
extent to supply the raw mater
ials to make the things we need.
That is why it is important for
every citizen to do his part In
protecting forests from fire and
to encourage the growth of trees
for tomorrow.
Mississippi citizens have an
important job to do in protect

and to encourage the growth of
