another 800 million is needed to rescue the Congo from
its present bankruptcy.

10 JOS Jottings

The Women's Federated Clubs are
still up to their good deeds. The
Seventh District Federated Clubs
met at the Lddell High School
Auditorium in Fayette, Miss. last
Thursday night to sponsor an ora
torical contest. The contestants
were all high school seniors and
each spoke on Youth Leadership
It's Basis Life Life Making VAL
ues."
Each young lady's speech was
well written, although some were
poorly coached on delivery. It was
an inspiration for all present to
hear these young people elaborate
50 thoroughly on such a popular
topic and its relationship to daily
events of the seven girls, who par
ticipated, two were outstanding in
their presentations. Miss jeanette
Mcintyre of Brookhaven, Miss,
won first prize SO points and Miss
Janice Musgrave of Alcorn won
second place with a total Of 81
points. The winner receives a $50
scholarship upon her entrance into
college.
Mrs. M. G. Durham was re-elect-
ed District President Of the Fed
Grated Clubs in the Seventh Dis
trict. The Local Garden Club was
host and the President Mrs. Luetta
Geoghegean made the welcoming
address. Clubs from Brookhaven,
McComb, Bude, Liberty, and Ty-
lertown were represented.
Alcorn College was well rep
resented by the presence Of the
first lady, Mrs. J. D. Boyd, Mrs.
Eunice Martin, DR.. M. Musgrave,
Mrs. James Fortenberry, Mrs. S.
S. Jackson, Miss Ursula Naive
aux, Mrs. J. L. Bolden, Mrs. Ear
nestine Harvey, Miss Nina Poole,
who sang beautifully and Mr.. Der.
nard Weathers, who was the high
light of the show, with his version
Of "Go Way From My Window"
SANG flawlessly with his perfect
tenor voice.
The entire program was sue
cess and the "cause was even
greater success. The wonderful
work that these clubs are doing
should be supported by all of the
communities. They are quietly per.
forming their duties and should be
encouraged ito keep up the good
work" We should take the ex-
ample of the liberty choir, which
came forward unasked to render
three a Capella numbers, and
therefore raised the height of the
program to an ecstatic pitch. See
you next week folks, with same
good deeds of others"

Gratis were right in writing a lib
eral platform and they wrote it
first without any pattern set by
the other party"
DR.. Jackson said that the DEM
ocrats have selected as a running
mate for Kennedy, a southerner
Lyndon Johnson) and that he
felt this to be healthy.
1.-THE Democratic Party has Civ
en- more attention to the South
even to choosing a southerner as
a running mate for Senator Ken
nedy," Jackson said.
Jackson, who drew attention in
speech at Jackson College Sun
day in which he told students there
that they should give less atten-
ton to Indignation and more to
elevation" did not elaborate Mon
day.
Instead, he concentrated on
peaceable non-discrimination be-
cause of race and said the white
and Negro leaders in the South
should get together and "obey the
law"
The claw" he said, calls for Civ
ing the Negroes all the rights they
are entitled to as citizens of the
United States.
Jackson specifically set forth as
his aims:
1. Right to equal and integrated
educational opportunities.
2. Right to vote.
8. Right to equal employment
(FEPC).
Jackson said that he is not a
conservative, but that he would
like to see tension between the
races assuaged by sitting down
together by white and Negro lead
ers to iron out problems.
He said that the problem is the
refusal of some whites to obey
the law and integrate the schools
and other public places and the
right to vote.
Cali citizens should be loyal to
the laws of the nation which take
precedence over the laws Of the
state" Jackson said. 1--WE must
not cease to live or become bitter
over the law, but accept the Su-
preme Court mandates with an ele-
ment of goodwill"
Asked if he supported the sit
in demonstrations, Jackson said
that it was a protest by the radi
/ Gals, and not q solution Of the
problem.
~ accept the sit-ins as a protest,
but, l have less sympathy for the
,, kneel-ins," he said. eve should
not use religion to force integra-
ton for the key in the church is
not Indignation but regeneration.
Jackson said that. the privileges
Of citizenry do not necessarily
mean enforced association between
the races, but that he believes in
unrestricted participation by the
black man in all phases of life.

Mrs. Percy Green
Jackson Advocate

Jackson, Mississippi
Dear Mr.. Green:
Thank you very kindly for all
the publicity you have given our
sports program in the past. Even
as l express our appreciation for
the publicity you have given US in
the past, I implore you to continue
to do so or enlarge on it in the
future. We believe that the a.
mount and kind of publicity we
get in your column will 60 a long
way in helping US foster the kind
of program all Mississippians can
be proud of. We make this re-
quest because of a real need to in
crease our revenue If we are to
continue to compete creditably
against the best Negro teams in
the nation.
Jackson State College is a men,
Der of the Southwestern Athletic
Conference. 1t is, without a doubt,
the strongest conference in Negro
intercollegiate athletics. Four men,
bers of our eight-member con-
ference are listed among the top
10 Negro teams for 1860 by two
of the better-known Negro sports
writer's. (This is double the num-
Der of representatives of any other
conference.) Jackson State College
plays these four teams plus one
other team in this select group.
Only Southern University, which
annually includes Florida A & M
on its schedule, plays a tougher
schedule. Somehow, we are rarely,
if ever, ranked nationally at the
outset of the season although we
usually finish among the top TO-
Some of these institutions get
huge legislative appropriations for
their programs. They are all from
80 percent to 200 percent larger,
enrollment-wise. A good number
of these students are Mississippi
ans who for one reason or another
have elected to 60 to these schools.
The newspapers can help Missis-
sippi colleges hold some of the
students we lose annually to out
of-state institutions.
We feel that the type Of pro-
gram we sponsor is one in which
Jackson and the state at large
should be justly proud. Your
sports pages can be invaluable in
helping US get the support we
must have if we are to continue
this high-level program.
Yours truly,
w. o. Robinson

Wetwood Is Tree Disease
Affecting Older Sopwood

Wetwood is one Of the more
common tree diseases. AL
though primarily a disease Of
the heartwood and older sap
wood. it has many external
manifestations that are un-
slightly ana which adversely af-
feet the tree. Not only is there
a continual weeping from the
wound but sometimes there
is yellowing of the foliage fol-
lowed by premature defoliation,
die back Of wilted branches
and general decline of the en-
tire tree. Trees affected by
wetwood include apple, birch.
elm, fir, hemlock, maple, null
berry. oak, poplar and willow.
1t is more widespread and
causes more injury on elm
than any other tree. Ulmus
pumila (Siberian elm) is un-
usually susceptible to attack.
The most notable indication
Of wetwood is bleeding or
f1uxing of fermented sap
through trunk wounds. Effec-
tive drainage Of the accumu-
lated gas and sap from dis
eaSed wood is usually obtained
