Using as his subject Timber

Extenson workers the import
ance of getting farmers to i'm
prove their cumberland by ell
emnatlng scrub timber and
wolf trees that prevent young
pine from growing.
The undesired species
could be eliminated at a min
mum of cost. Using slides and
tools he gave various ways trees
could be poisoned to eliminate
them.
Mr.. Swenson stressed the fact
that there is now a market for
scrub trees now at Lexington,
mentioning the Black Creek
Charcoal Co., and farmers may
now clear the land and have a
market to sell the otherwise
Useless scrubs.
Cost per acre, he said, for

Did You
Know?

Durant, along with former
Governor Hugh White, can be
termed as THE Father of Bal
ance Agriculture With Industry
in Mississippi.
The City of Durant was the

Whites BAWI program that
has brought untold thousands
Of new payrolls and industry to
Mississippi.
1t was 1886 while Edgar Ho-
veil was Mayor of Durant, that
he BAWI idea got started, with
! $25, 900 bond issue election to
build Durant Manufacturing Co.
a hosiery mill. that eventually
closed. The building is now
occupied by Talon, Inc.
With a depression just over,
bonds were hard to sell in 1886,
and too the new idea had not
been tested in court. All that
mas changed now and the years
have proved Gov. Whites idea
a sound one. and a tremendous
BOOST for the economy of Miss.
On May 10th Durant voters
will go to the polls again to vote
on another BAWI bond issue for
$500 900 for the expansion of
Durant Sportswear. It is a
common belief that a favorable
reaction to this bond issue by
the voters will put Durant well
On the road to healthy growth

The bond issue election COM
ing up in Durant on May 10th
may well determine the future
prosperity of Durant. Officials
are shooting for 100 percent
turnout at the election, and
every qualified voter should
make it a point to be in town
that day and VOTE FOR the
$25O,OOO bond issue. It's fairly
safe to assume the majority
are IN favor of the issue, but
the only way to MAKE SURE
IS to go to the polls and vote.
The bond issue will be used to
expand Durant Sportswear, max
ing it possible for that Jacket
factory to increase employ-
ment to over 300 or triple what
1t Is today. City officials and
Industrial Councilmen have
been working overtime to get
industry to locate in Duant,
and their efforts are beginning
to pay off. Now it is time for
the man on the street to step in
and show the world that Durant
stands ready to move forward.
The bond issue will not cost
a red cent in additional taxes,

have made Durant the Indus

We have no doubt than an
ordinance to disconnect the
area north of 151st street, for
annexation to Harvey will be
next and will pass by possibly
the same margin, thus making
the rape complete. We have to
realize at the same time that
when the question of majority
against, politics, discrimination
and Big Money, the majority
does not always prevail. Ac-
ceptance of South Phoenix to
Harvey will not be completed
unless the valuable Allis Chal-
mers properties go along with
the package.
We cannot believe the Allis
Chalmers company will allow
itself to become involved in
such controversary, when all
it seeks is the least expensive
method to oprate it's business.
The City of Harvey should not
allow itself to be drawn in,
even though the Council might
be acting in the best interests
of their city, WIN they seek to
add to their influence whatever
valuable industry as presents
itself.
But the South Phoenix will
stop at nothing to escape a sit
uation of their own making and
the Village officials, too. But
will they escape entirely?
Whatever happens, there will
have to be an audie of Village
affairs to somebody's satisfac-
ton, and there may be some
who will be guests of the state.
This no one will condone.

PHOENIX NEWS
JOHN HANCOCK writes
BY JOHN HANCOCK

Last Monday night, in what
was the shortest session in their
dubious history CT minutes) /,
passed, 5 to l, an ordinance
disconnecting the South Area
of Phoenix, from the village
for the purpose of annexation
to the City of Harvey. The
Village Board in it's action al
lowed no comment, and the
Village President although, it
was entirely unnecessary insist
ed the Clerk add his Yes vote
to the other 5, making it 6 to
l for. BY this action there lis
no further doubt that these
elected officials will carry thru
the cutting up of their village.
The statutory law permits
them to grant or refuse annex
alton Petitions, but something
like this was not the intent
of the legislature. If it was then
what would prevent the area of
Harvey, south of 159th street
from petitioning for annexation
to Markham, or the Morgan
Park-Beverly Hills district to
Blue Island. People could trans
fer around like playing check
ers. The Statues of the State
of illinois do not allow abuses
authority by elected officials
The Petition of Protest con-
tanning over a thousand sigma
lures was ignored by the Vii
lage Board although it voiced
the lawful protest of the major
ity. The Village Board in its
supreme effort to CRAFTY the
wishes of the South Siders
whose petitions were the dis
tinct minority; as so we'll ex-
pressed by one of the trustees:
Going with my People," has
committed grave errors, proof
beyond any reasonable doubt
that although elected at large,
they are smbservient to the
wishes and demands of the
South Side Of town, and will
go any length to gratify them.

House Denies Request
OF Administration To
Create 1.2OO New Jobs

WASHINGTON, R- Admins
tratiOn requests for more than
1000 new government jobs were
denied by the House Appropria-
tons Committee in an So,
900 omnibus money bill for the
year starting July l.
The proposed new positions
would have been scattered thru
more than score of miscellan-
eous agencies whose appropria-
TOMS are provided in the bill.
New funds approved were $780,
100000 less than President Eisen-
hover had requested but were
81, 108, 100000 more than the same
agencies were given for the cur
rent year ending June 80.
Included in the catch-all mea-
sure were funds for a pension for
President Eisenhower starting
next year, $5,322, 902, 900 for the
Veterans Administration, 60 mil
lion dollars for airline subsidies,
$50 million for slum clearance and
urban renewal grants, million to
start an experimental program on
housing for needy elderly per-
sons, and $144,836,000 for public
building construction in 20 cities
The Presidents pension is pro-
vided under a law which now ap-
plies to Herbert Hoover, Harry S.
Truman and the widows of Presi-
dents Woodrow Wilson an ID
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Eisenhower had requested fin
ancing for about 5000 new jobs
in the various agencies, the big
gest increases being 5,025 for the
Federal Aviation Agency and
1900 for the National Aeronau-
les and Space Administration. The
committee cut GOT from the FAA
request and 1913 from the NASA.
