The world is now living in a
new age - the Space Age.
There + many people who
feel they are being left behind,
SO swiftly does the world move
these days.
Certainly a feeling of made
quacy fills the average person
who has not yet acclimated HIM
self to living in the atomic age.
And some are still barking back
to horse and buggy days.
But the world is moving along
= and America with it = with
OF without US individually or
collectively.
We would like to see Mis-
sissippi move along also into d
glorious future, taking advan
tage of all that modern science
has to offer to develop our full
potential as a state.
And especially we would like
TO see our human resources
grow and be developed to the
fullest extent possible be-
cause people are the most i'm
portant thing we have in Mis-
sissippi.
You can't have a state Tor a
community without people
and too many of our people are
leaving Mississippi. A m ost
without exception the people
leaving are those who are the
best trained and qualified to
make a contribution to the gen
eral welfare of the state and
its people.

It is time we realize this is
a new day and age in which we
live and we must adapt our
selves to it, one way or another,
or be hopelessly lost.
We cannot stand still. We are
either moving forward into the
future, or we are slipping back
ward. This applies to a COM
munity as well as a state.
Certainly it is time for u
leaders from the Governor
on down = to realize that times
have changed and that we must,
as a state and as a people, make
some change with it.
The old hates and prejudices
and politics as usual just
won't suffice any more. The
young men and women coming
along today have no patience
with the old guard that has die
tated Mississippi affairs so long
- which is for Mississippi a
very good thing.
We can't find our way in the
space age using horse and buggy
tactics and methods.
Our sagging morale as a ma
ton and a people received a
tremendous boost when Ameri-
ca put a man in space.
Astronaut Alan B. Shepard,
Jr. has a firm place in Ameri-
can history and the nation is
proud of him and the other
young men who volunteered for
the hazardous pioneering as
signment.
The fact that Russia got there
''firstest with the mostest" does
not dim one bit the lustre of the
American achievement and
Shepard himself is the first one
to give full credit to all of the
people who made it possible for
him to make the worlds first

Ten1pers After
Losing Again

CHICAGO, June 10 (AP).-
When a team loses 25 of 81
games, tempers are apt to
flare, and that's what hap
pened with the Minnesota
Twins yesterday in dropping a
double-header to the White
Sox, 4-3 and 10-7.
Pitcher Camilo Pascual and
First Baseman Bob Allison of
the Twins got into a fracas
after the third inning of the
second game.
The fight was brought to a
quick end before any blows
were struck" according to
Manager Cookie Lavagetto.
However, one source thought
that such a thing might snap
the Twins out of their slump.
It all started when Sox Out
fielder Minnie Minoso singled
in the third. Minnie got a
Jump on Pascual in an attempt
to steal second, but was foiled
when batter AL Smith fouled
off the pitch.
Allison took a few steps
toward the mound and shouted
to Pascual to keep the runner
closer to the base. Camilo re-
portedly said, "Okay." But
Allison again told him to keep
the runner close, and Pascual
said: "Okay, okay. You take
care of first and I'll take care
of the pitching"
MinoSo eventually stole sec
ond. After the inning was over,
Pascual and Allison got into an
argument which erupted into
a fight that was soon broken
up.
The slim, 175-pound Pascual
threw a bat at the 6-foot-4,
2l8-pound Allison but missed.
The bat hit Coach Clyde Nc
Cullough in the stomach.
Mccullough recently had an
operation and was shaken but
not seriously injured.
Neither Pascual nor Allison
would comment on the fight.
