Staring blankly ahead, as if
in a stupor, he sits sprawling on
a crude wooden chair and re-
gally accepts gifts Of money,
cigarettes, cigars and native
beer which the Guatemalan
Indians pile up around him in
his dusky, litter filled room.
On his carved wooden head
is an airline captains hat of
ancient vintage, while his life
sized, straw-stuffed body is
clad in q pair of grease
strained pants and q crudely
made shirt.
He wears shiny black patent
leather shoes, and long gro
tesque rubber gloves.
From a short distance in the
darkened room, lighted only by
q dozen Pickering candles, his
face has the same pasty look
as did Hitler's.
Two delicately wrought solid
silver religious objects, repre-
senting the Christ crucified,
rest on each arm Of his chair,
while q lighted cigarette dan
giles from his grease-blackened
lips.
Outrage to Church
This strange character, an
outrage both to the Catholic
Church and the Guatemalan
government, is the adored San
Simon, semi-pagan idol of
countless Indians who worship
daily at his throne. They be-
lleve not only that he per-
forms many miracles, but is
the high priest of fertility.
I first heard of San Simon
while in Guatemala City and,

The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1959-10-08

San Francisco, Calf.
After reading The Petal Paper
for some time, / have decided
that perhaps you might be inter
ested in the thoughts your paper
suggests to me.
The people in the southern part
of our United States have a pc
culiar problem. Only they can
eliminate it. 1t was created by
them. Each must appoint himself
a committee of one, and face the
facts. The colored man is his
brother under the ruling of God.
To the colored man he owes per-
sonal attention, supervision and
help of a needful kind.
God has placed this burden on
their shoulders because He knows
they are capable of coping with
it, and overcoming the burden.
They must remember that they
willingly took it on when they
purchased the first slave. God
never abandoned the colored man
who is as close to Him as any
of us are. He permitted the south
erner to go into the business Of
slavery because He knew they
would come through the expert
ence with flying colors.
The South will remain in the
doldrums until the southerner de-
cides that he has erred, and forth
with proceeds to correct his po-
sition before the Lord. He will
receive plenty of help from the
rest of his countrymen if and
when he turns the first spadeful
of repentful earth.
Sincerely,
r r T.onn

Dear Editor East
I've been a reader of your pa

enough, I feel, to ask question
or two myself. And speaking of
questions, the one issue of the
Petal Paper that impressed me
the most was the one in which
you made a plain and unadorned
statement of your personal be-
liefs. Notice I say plain and I'M
adorned. I think you're at your
best when you're graphing with
a few of the ills that beset Dixie
like a Baptist preacher who
makes issWords reach out and
sting. They hurt--but the folks
DO, listen.
In the past few issues, I've
been wading through what seems
to me to be a veritable morass
or morality. Now don't get me
wrong I'm very much for a NOR
al, human approach to the ills OF
men, but this last piece by Will

mark with me at least. The Com

Dear Mr.. East:
Usually I am in full agreement
with the ideas and beliefs pre-
sented in your paper, however, !
disagree with DR.. BENEFITS LETT
ter in the August 9th issue.
The Ten Commandments are in
my mind very intelligent and
meaningful code. I try to live by
them and / think that everyone
should. 1t is not up to us to say
that everyone should believe in
God; the Ten Commandments are
devoted to five statements about
God and the worship of Him.
It is our duty as human beings
to train the youth of today, which
is my generation, to live as de-
cent human beings. We can find
meaningful lives only by follow
ing the last five commandments.
Parents and teachers should in
still in the minds of their young
charges faith in their fellows and
love and respect for their parents
and teachers.
/ am a college sophomore and
a Jew. I belong to a religious
minority and so / feel sympathy
for all minority groups. The athe-
lists, and those who are polothy-
lists are in a minority and their
rights deserve protection. Our
country was established and a
Constitution written. However,
as an after thought a Bill of
Rights was added to protect the
rights of freedom of speech, wor-
ship, etc. of every citizen. By
placing the Ten Commandments
in public schools we are violat-
ing the basic principles on which
our country was founded-that is
separation of Church and State.
We must insure the freedom for
thought for all.
Even though it is not proper to
place the Ten Commandments in
front Of each schoolroom, it is
proper to teach the students to
live properly and this will be
done most easily while they are
still young. If parents and teach
ers show the little children love
and affection, give them security,
and teach them that it is wrong
to lie, cheat, steal and be mean
to other people, then there shall
be no Juvenile delinquency, and
no crime, in fact we would prob
ably have no war or prejudice. 1t
is probably too much to hope for,

with the ladies confining them
selves but to team competition.
There couldn't have been a
closer contest for the mems
team championship than that
waged between the Pitpas

pin margin, 1892 to the 1921
rolled by the Etna Lodge 4
"B" combine.
Bill Reese and Tim Srsic of
the Pitpa Lodge 706 chalked up
$50 for the best mems Doubles
salvo. Mark and John Bursic
of Etna Lodge 4 followed with
a 922 score.
Mark Bursic of Etna Lodge 4
went on to be crowned the 1941

besting a 499 total compiled IN
that category by Joe Tralic of

In the field of tournament
