EDITORIAL COMMENT
FEDERAL COURT SYSTEM
ENDANGERS LIBERTY

In Jackson three federal judges have
taken under adviSement a lawsuit which
would remove segregation sings from
pubic transportation facilities. One of
the three, before hearing all of the in
formation and examining the facts and
arguments presented by both sides, an
nounced hat he favored a court order
removing the signs.
A jury panel was selected in Holmes
County last week. One of the most i'm
portant considerations in naming the
members was that they should not have
preconceived judgments on the matters
that they would decide.
The local jurors, just as the federal
Judge in Jackson, have an important re-
sponsibility. Evidently, one may Judge
before hearing the case involved. The
other may not. We don't understand.
Judicial integrity has always been con-
Sidered an important facet of our ma
TONS system of government. In order
for justice to prevail under our struc-
ture of government, federal, state. and
local judges III be unprecedented. They
are not expected to fall prey to the petty
politics and pre1ud1ceS which SO OFTEN
characterize the legislative and judicial
branches of our government.
The layman thinks of the higher our
as the guardian of the Constitution and
protector of individual rights against
abridgment by the political branches and
interest groups By way of example, Su-
prAme Court justices are given life tenure
and compensation with the evident pur-
pose of securing them and their courts
from possible intimidation.
Our judges should be u nations su-
preme referees. Just as athletic ref
erNNG. they are expected to possess unim-
pachable moral fibre. If such a situation
should cease to exist our democratic
form of government would be in serious
danger of collapse. We are afraid, I'M
fortunately that the aforementioned
situation has ceased to exist.
Our judicial system has a rich heritage.

The dreary days of autumn
are upon us. Rains early this
week apparently ushered in
the new season. But it is an
exciting and wonderful sea-
son. 1t is a time of the year
when activity will reach a
fever pitch throughout Homes
County.
Schools are in session.
Crops are being harvested.
Many of the clubs and organ.
izations which curtailed their
meetings during the summer
months are again undertake
ing their regular activities.
For newspaper people. the
fall season means many extra
hours spent in covering and
reporting football games,
meetings, and many other re.
gular events. All in all, this
fall promises to be busy,
but interesting.
We have enjoyed reporting
the county football games,
thus far, this season. The
local teams have certainly
excelled with two claiming
undefeated records, so far.
We covered football teams
from one end of Mississippi
the October Plentiful fods
list. Following close behind
them in plentiful supply are
rice, cheese, beef, turkeys,
vegetable fats and oils and
cranberries.

and see what you can do to
prevent a fire. A lot Of fires
can be prevented by good
house cleaning inside and out.
Keep your house and other
buildings clean and free of
boxes and papers and rags and
paint buckets and oil cans and
general accommodations of

If you are raking leaves, be
careful where you burn them.
While you're working to pre-

rule of not smoking in bed, in

1t had its beginnings under the English
common-law. Its development has con-
tributed greatly to modern democracy.
The great and prudent men who have
t~raditionally been connected with the
judicial process have CARRIED it in a robe
of prestige and purity.
Through the centuries Judges, them
selves, have established certain standards
and traditions, which governed their de-
clslons. Among others incorporated in
their Self-made reStrainSts were a strict
reliance upon precedent (stare decisis)
and the rendering of impartial Judge
mentS based upon the law or its intent.
The system which evolved was hailed
as one of the greatest political advances
free man had ever made. In essence, it
assured a government of laws and not of
men.
Sociologists tell us that a society will
dlSlntegrate when its customs and tradi-
tons break down. Our federal judicial
system has experienced disintegration.
Many of our judges have disregarded
the time-honored principles which Gre
ated and maintained justice and fairness
for all.
Social pressures and prejudices all too
often govern those who should be above
them. Supreme Court and lower cour
decisions are often based on the pragmat-
ic doctrin that whatever is "best for the
most" is the final determinant. No con-
stitution can maintain any sort of sub
stance when its intent is not honored.
No nation can hope to remain free when
its basic document, guaranteeing liberties
and Justice, is not honored.
Maybe our American political philos-
ophv is an incorrect one. Perhaps, we
should establish a fascist form of govern
ment, disregarding Justice to the individ-
ual, and giving allegiance to the single
leader and all-powerful STARE, Re-ter ot;U
what about setting up a form of political
to reach decisions before hearing the ar
organization which would allow judges
gunentS on both sides of an issue.

If you find you need addit-
ional blankets for this winter,
be sure you check carefully
before you buy. First read
labels to know fiber content.
Unfold the blanket and hold to
the light. You can see if the
nap is firm and if the yarns
in the underlying weave are
smooth and compact.
Look for closely woven and
firmly sichtd bindings. Bind
ing attached with oeveral rows
of lock stitching are mist dur
able. Chain stitched bindings
often catch and ravel.
Choose blankets that are
long enough to tuck in snugly
at the foot of the bed and still
reach halfway under the pill
low. Ytu need a 90-inch length
for standard length BIDS with
innerspring mattresses. A r.
inch width may be used on
either a three-quarter or dol
BILE bed. 80-inch widths are
suitable for double Or king size
beds.
Choose an attractive blanket
as well as one that is warm,
lightweight and durable. Lotk
for a deep,firm, even springy
nap that does not shed when
you brush it with your hand.

The Don Lambornes have hit
upon the most pleasant of, ways
to contribute to the American
Cancer Society. Once again last
Saturday night they opened
wide their doors at Fair Hill
Farm" for sumptuous supper
party. Hundreds of guests
signed checks for the benefit
and fingered on for the food and
fun.
Although the Olney couple
has hosted several of these din
ners with a pre-Revolutionary
theme, somehow Jean and Don
come up with something new
on each occasion.
This time they unveiled more
than a dozen new costumes
all made by the hostess a
"grog" room under the kitchen
and a candlelit formal garden
with more than 1000 boxwoods,
azalea bushes and flowers.

Preparations began at z am.

beef watching the pigs final
turns on the spit and then, as
they partook of the tasty pork,
basted with sherry, observed
walters in red knee britches
finish-up barbequeing chicken
on the open fireplaces.
More Indoors
Inside a dining table offered
sliced Maryland ham, turkey
salad, cole slaw, baked beans,
assorted relish trays and spiced
apple rings. Traditional toll

Though the food was lavish
there was music, too-on the

"Miracle Landing" with
Heavily Loaded C-82

FAIRBANKS Up - Wien Alaska
Airlines pilots Holger Jorgensen
and Clyde Rudd made miracle
landing on what it known as IL
Mile Lake, near Fort Yukon Fri
day.
They were flying a C-82 I'M
der charter to Wien carrying a
tractor, jeep and other equipment
enroute to Fort Yukon when one
of the two engines went out.
They cut and feathered that
engine, landing the heavy craft
with the good engine and TAXED
to the lake shore. There was no
damage. Unloading the tractor,
the crew bulldozed out a runway
before starting overland for Fort
Yukon with the tractor and the
jeep about II miles away.
Yesterday a Wien plane landed
on the emergency runway with
a replacement engine and me-
chanics.
Now the race is to replace the
engine and take off before the
ice melts dropping the plane to
the bottom of the lake.

zenship as Wisconsin's 72nd coun-
ty 107 years after it was first
carved out in negotiations be-
tween Chief Oshkosh and the
u. S. government.
Some Indians as we'll as whites
feel independence has come too
soon.
About 80 per cent of the tribes
3,720 members make their living
from the operations of the Indian
nations 100000 acres Of timber
and the famed mills of Menominee
Enterprises Inc, the tribes oper-
ating corporation.
But signs of declining revenue
from sales, due largely to in
creased demand for veneers, have
contributed to fears of financial
difficulties ahead.
Menominee leaders, state Of
ficials and u. S. Sens. William
Proxmire, and Alexander Wiley
of Wisconsin pleaded unsuccesS-
fully for postponement of indie
pendence.
George w. Remote, a Menominee
who left the U. S. Bureau of In
dian Affairs to work with his
people said:
1--WE need federal help for
health. We need this help des-
perately. We're not afraid of the
future, but after 107 years you
can't just change everything in
only few years. We have to look
- washington until we're able
land alone.
