EDITORS note-The following editorial
is the second of a series dealing with
THE Years Ahead In Holmes County"
1t is concerned with the problem OF
young people moving TO other areas.)
Young people are important TO a COM
munity. They are SC important that they
actually form the nucleus around which
all else revolves. To prove this, all we
have to do is look t the interests and
activities of the adults of a given society.
If young people are not directly in
volved, they figure prominently in the
lives and plans of the older generation.
To retain vitality and enthusiasm, a
community must somehow manage to
"hold" the younger generation. This, OF
course, is self-evident because if the
youths leave a community it will of
necessity decay and tend to wither-away.
1t is not likely that Outside" young peo-
pie will be attracted to an area if its
did o see fit to remain.
The sad fact of the matter, however,
is that for several years the tendency has
been for young people, following their
formal education, to leave Holmes Coun-
ty. There have been some exceptions, of
course, but the trend has been evident.
Their departure has left gaps in the
s-ocio-economic and political structure of
the area. The absence of their youthful

portico, and two heavy shut

beautiful interior. Here is still

over the entrance.
Another very old church

BunIt In 1912
The first Methodist Con-
ference in Mississippi was or
ganized at Seneasha Chursh,
six miles from Goodman in
Attala County, under Rev.
| Elijah Lott. The church was
built in 1912. The building was
destroyed by a hurricane in
| 1897. The third church build
| ing on this spot was dedl-
Gated by Bishop Marvin
Franklin on Sunday, October
10, 1857. In addition to the
large sanctuary, there are
Sunday School class rooms at
the reah upstairs. A large
dining room on the lower
floor, with sink, electric
stove, running water, and
other modern Improvements.
Members of Seneasha church
have done a tremendous job
of personally constructing
their present building. A
house of worship which they
are indeed proud to call their
own.

which had been saved for the
occasion.

HANCE AWAIT YOUTHS
H STAY IN COUNTY

outlook, vigor, and enthusiasm has hurt
Holmes County in more ways than one.
On the brighter side, however, is the
outlook for the future. Community
leaders have properly analysed the mat
ter. They have realized that something
must be done in order that the young
people would have an incentive to re-
main. They have gone out of their way
in an attempt to attract new business
activities, so as to assure economic OPP
portunity for the young. Further, there,
has been a decided increased interest in
the affairs of the youths.
Retention of the younger generation
will depend, however, primarily upon
the image of the community which IS
conveyed by their parents and other
adults. Continual emphasis on the inferior
aspects of Holmes County and all coun-
ties who have them, will only serve to
drive away the future potential leaders.
Naturally, they will depart to areas
which can offer greater economic and
cultural advantages.
1t is time that we all "accentuated the
positive" There are plenty of opportu-
mites for young men and women in
Holmes County. They nus be made to
realize that such exists. 1t will take a
big selling job; but we believe that the
rewards can we'll be worth the effort.

Miss Harpole met in the home
of Mrs. Melvin Alexander or
Wednesday afternoon. FEB. %.
Since ice and bad roads pre-
vented the January assembly
of members, this was the first
meeting Of the club in 1861, so
there was a full program and
much business to discuss.
February has been designat-
ed Heart Month, therefore
much of the program was de-
voted to the heart and related
diseases from the physical
standpoint, while the opening
song and Mrs. Alexander's de-
votion dealt with love of
which the heart is supposed
to be the seat.
Mrs. Marvin Cade discussed
the work of the All Clubs;
Mrs. Roscoe Johnson reported
on the January Council and on
the work necessary for the
early gardner. Council dues
were paid. Members were
urged to attend the District
Council meeting in Greenwood
March II and to take part in
the local dress revue also in
March.
Miss Harpole's demonstra-
ton on home management
dealt with the plans of a
young couple just beginning
home making and included
plans for building, establish
ing a business, saving through
u. S. Savings Bonds, medical
care, food, clothes and edu-
cation of children.
For lack of time the recre-
alton was omitted.
In honor of George Wash

Perhaps the Liquor Control Board
would allow the use of some of their
special brand labels to help encour-
age local industry. Even new labels
could be printed: Tom Collins Giggle

Of course as with any new venture
there is some risk. The revenuers
might knock out few of the indus
trial installations. Some wise guys
might hijack portion of the pro-
duction but still mean yet-this
field of production of a finished
product, suitable for direct consumer
consumption, is the major factor
lacking in the entire Montana econ

If distillery base can be estab-

form the basis for a true industrial
foundation for Montana to use the
vast amounts of raw materials and
natural energies which abound in
our state. Then we will have jobs
