School Lot
Plan Okayed

School authorities have been
authorized to negotiate for the
purchase of a one-acre lot ad-
1acent to Poolesville Elementary
High School in order to protect
the appearance of the school.
The lot extends to within Is
feet of the north wing of the
school and Is now overrun by
weeds, vines and an accumula-
ton of trash, the county school
board was told Saturday.
Its purchase was urged by
school Trustees Benoni D. All
mutt and Charles w. Elgin and
Principal Robert T. Crawford.
Elgin said any future devel-
opment of a site so close to the
school would be Objectionable.
The lot at present, he said, con-
stitutes an "eyesore" to the
otherwise attractive school
plant.
The site, now owned by the es-
tate of the late Mary Catherine
Brooks, likely would be devel-
oped for some other than resi-
Dental use unless it were pur-
chased by the school, according
to Lester ]. WEIGH, director of
sites and planning for the school
system.

On three occasions, Savannah

board submitted a referendum

About six weeks before the
issue went to vote, Early handed
in his resignation with the ap.
proval of the school board.
According to informed sources
in Savannah, there still remains
some controversy over whether
his resignation was forced or
voluntary.
Early's supporters in that city
maintain that the move was
jointly planned by Early and the
board in order to facilitate pas.

School VandaIs
Haze Field Day
At Veirs Mill

Ink throwing vandals swept
like a tornado through 20 of the
80 classrooms at the Veirs Mill

scattered papers, rifled desks
and broken glass.
Principal Adrian C. Ander.
son said the vandals also looted
coin collection boxes and car
tons of about $40 before leaving.
He estimated total damage to
the building at about $1,000.
Anderson said the damage
was done between l and S pm.
When he was called to the
school Sunday afternoon, he was
greeted with the sight of ink
splashed teachers desks and
hall bulletin boards.
He said the vandals, who
scrawled childish obscenities on
classroom blackboards, must
have been juveniles inasmuch
as some Of the epithets were
misspelled in a childish hand.
Anderson said the looters
either smashed panes of glass
from doors or kicked them in,
in order to get inside the locked
school rooms. The principals

room were not entered, he said.

match employee taxes. Top tax
Tor self-employed persons will rise
$3.50 to $2l6 a year.
To keep the present program on
a pay-as-you-go basis, three more
identical tax increases are sched-

1859 employees will pay $216 II
they earn as much as $4,000 a year.
Self-employed persons will pay
1924 on $4,000 incomes.
The possibility looms that the
Social Security tax will leap even
higher, the Chamber states. Con-
gress might compel virtually all
employees, self : employed per-
sons, and employers to finance
hospital and surgical care for Z
out of 10 of the aged.
The Fcrand bill coming up in
the next session of Congress would
tax you and your employer to pay
for this care, but only for the aged

this would neal even less money
for food, clothing, savings, and
other needs.
Though some aspects of aging
are receiving increasing attention,
the Chamber notes that:
1. Many aged persons are still
working and can afford to pay
their own hospital bills.
2. There is a large and rapidly
growing number of aged per-
sons who carry their own hos
pital and surgical insurance.
8. Families and communities pro-
vide for the care of other aged
persons.
American can be proud that
there is no evidence that aged
persons do not receive needed hos
pital and surgical attention because
they cannot pay, the Chamber
states.
Social Security benefits for these
persons, the Chamber points out,
would be a major break-through
into the Welfare State with con-
sequent spiralling taxes.

SHOTS :. by Graz Ruiz

The criminal communists have
made another murderous attack
on one of planes making a pa
troll over international waters. This
makes the 33rd unwarranted at
tack on us and brings to a total of
liz American listed as dead or
missing.
We imagine that the State De
partment will roll UP the lace OF
It's cuffs and send a scented pink
note to the barbarians protesting
the latest ARRAY. What a comfort
60 this must be to the families of
these men.
In this latest incident the u. S.
plane was practically unarmed and
not a shot was fired at the attack
ers. How soft can we get and how
many more times will we be spit
III the face? If this plane was not
prepared for such an outrageous at
tack, then somebody should be
court martialed. Where is defense
money going?
We think that these continued
Soviet insults is a sign of Soviet
weakness and these attacks are
to boost home consumption of
what a strong air force the Rus
slams have and just another part of
he big Red lie. These attacks are
not accidental, they are premedi-
tated and only when they think
they can get away with it, do they
attack. The kremlin is a past-mas-
ter at deceit, fraud, alibying and
general treachery.
Don't you wish during the past
IS years we had had a president
like Teddy Roosevelt, the man who
treaded softly and carried a big
stick? Don't get the Roosevelt
name confused with FDR (Fondled
Despicable Reds.)
If Teddy had been president there
would be no Soviet Union as we
know it today. He would not have
almost bankrupted the u. S.. by
lend-lease and other unappreciated
aid we gave the Russians. He would
probably have allowed the Germans
to annihilate the Russians and
then directed Jul power towards
whipping Germany. And the first
insult this communist nation had
shown against America would have
been the first and last. We would
have blasted them off the face of
the earth and all this mess in the
world today would have never ex-
listed. There would be no notes of
protest, no wrist Shaping and kow-

The Old
South
By Eve L. BurweH

Lest they forget
When in a reminiscent mood, my
father would recall many instances
and happenings of the Civil War
and Reconstruction days under the
rule and domination of the Carper-
baggerS. Some of them were anus
ing, others pathetic-but all of
them quite interesting to me when
| recall them.
During the Reconstruction days,
Yazoo City was our cotton market.
1t was a big job transporting the
cotton crop to Yazoo City with
wagon and mules, selling the crop,
and bringing back a supply of
groceries and clothing and some
times a barrel of whiskey was in
cluded. This was indeed a great
event in the lives of the southern
people.
Some OF the young farmers, with
a venturesome spirit, would build
a raft and then would catch the
water at the right stage in Big
Black River; would load his cotton
on the raft and float it to New
Orleans to market.
lmaglne-no salt and no coffee.
During this period there was nei-
ther. What a drab and dreary
world without coffee. AS the old
timers know, they had to parch
corn, bran and other things to make
g substitute for coffee. And for
salt, each neighborhood had to
send a wagon and team to the salt
mines down in Louisiana for a sup
ply.
1t is hardly possible to vision con-
dltions as they existed at that time,
or even trace the heroic efforts of
our people to care for their fami-
lies, and restore their civil gov
eminent.
However, those were happy days
after all, and our people were a
hospitable lot who shared each
others troubles and burdens, and
It was the custom. for a family to
visit another family for several
weeks at a time. When over
crowded they thought nothing of
spreading out a patchwork quilt
and sleeping on the floor.
And for dances, they arrived
before dark and danced until day-
light, so they could see to get
home as there were few roads and
they were almost impossible dur
ing the winter months.
These r only a few reminiscent
ces, which could be multiplied
many, many times if space would
permit.
We should remind our younger

Ross Barnett SAID this week that
Inc people of Mississippi will al
ways find him ION the side of
good government"
At speaking engagements for his
campaign for governor, he said:
"One of the tragedies of history
is the misuse of power. Those who
were given authority over people
tried to become absolute masters
instead of humble servants.
Il pledge that / will never use
the authority of the governors of
flee for selfish motives, retributions,
o. revenge. I will hold no grudges
but will go into office with only one
great purpose-to accelerate the
economic progress of Mississippi.
Every group viii be able to
confer with the governor. Every
Individual will have an opportunity
to express his viewpoints. My door
will never be closed.
Il do not believe in government
by secrecy. The people have a
right to know the peoples busin-
ess. My policy on this will never
change.
Il know of fewer greater compli-
mentS than can be bestowed on a
governor of Mississippi than to say
that he always conducted the duties
Of his administration in an open,
above-board manner and never lost
touch with the problems of the peo-
pie.
