PASTURE
PROGRAM

The great frontier now lies in
the application of scientific prin-
ciples to agriculture. With the
phenomenal development of Mis-
ssissippi's livestock industry and
with pastures and feed crops be-
ing basic to its growth, expand
ed pasture programs must con-
tinue to move forward. One big
factor working to Mississippi's
advantage is a favorable climate
and year-round grazing facilities.
The challenge now is to expand
and improve the resources for
greater prosperity.

DesoTo COUNTY

If fernando DeSoto could have
only foreseen the future as he
sat with an old Indian chief
within the very boundaries of
the county which was to be
named in his honor many years
later, he would have gone nc
further. Today the county is
poised on the threshold of what
appears to be an almost newt
able upsurge in its growth and
economy. The county's current
economy is primarily agricul-
tural; however, the citizens of
the county have not overlooked
the opportunities offered the in
dustrialist, and industry has re-
spcnded.

LIE ZU-yGdT-OlO SCuucHC Says lie Is
willing to swear to the following facts:
u AS a reporter for the Atlanta
Journal, / did cover one "sit-in' demon
s~tration at one counter in Rich's depart
ment store. I phoned in to the paper my
findings which became part of a larger
story. In no case was I actively involved
in a "sit-in" or any other kind of demon
stration.
p In the fall of 1859 my history
instructor for one semester was DR.. Sill
yer. After the termination of that class
/ did not even see or speak to DR.. Silver
for some nine months. He has, never sup
ported me-, strongly or otherwise, for any
office, nor as far as / know, has he sup
ported anyone else for campus office.
- Instead of being a 'tclose friend
of P. D. East" have never seen or cor
responded with him. Obviously, l did not
leave Atlanta to visit East. Actually /
departed from Atlanta on September 10
and was at work on the campus at Ole
Miss the next day.
a. Ralph McGill is not the editor
of the Atlanta Journal. Instead of being
taken under his wing" / have never met
Mr.. McGill. / have never corresponded
with nor talked to him. I do not know
him and neither he nor anyone else has
offered me a job with the Atlanta journal
after my graduation.
s. For twelve years / attended the
public schools at Pontotoc. Now twenty
Years Of age, I am a junior at the Uni
versity of Mississippi. AS a loyal citizen
of Mississippi, l firmly believe that it is
an enormous injustice for an official
agency of the state of Mississippi to
spread false rumors about me or anyone
else.
Billy C. Barton
The same type of smear suffered by
young Barton has happened to other
supposedly free citizens of Mississippi
who have been the target for lies, Islander
and villification because they did not go
along with the Citizens Councils in their
own community or county, or because they
simply questioned the status quo.
Some Of these citizens have remain
ed quiet because they fear reprisals or
retaliation. Others have remained quiet
just to maintain peace in the community.
But the time is here when the
freedom of all Mississippi people is
threatened by the Citizens Councils
and the state Sovereignty Commits
sion - and there are few people who
will deny it. It is time for everyone
to speak out and oppose this violation
of our basic rights and freedom as
American citizens.
This monstrous thing will destroy us
and our state 2 $ we know and love it,
if we do not summon the courage not
only to lift our voices in protest but to
fight it with every honorable means at
our disposal. -
Our freedom is being taken away
from us here in Mississippi not by
Communist Russia, Naz Germany, o.
any other totalitarian country Or
philosophy but by our WI home

Rude Awakening

The passenger attracted by
cocktails and a full-course
meal finds mental indigestion
setting in when he learns his
plane will land at Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Wilmington
on the way to New York.
OF course, there will always
be passengers whL will insist
upon first class, and among
them many who will grumble
about the service no matter
what frills are offered. But we
feel the market will grow most
among the potential customers
who want a low-cost, speedy,
point-to-point service.
The current concern of the
airlines is that passenger totals
Evening star., 1961-08-20

before the flight is due to take
off. Youths holding such half
fare tickets would be given
seats first in the coach sections
Of the aircraft, and then, when
those were filled, in the first
class section.
Promotion Of such expert
mental fares does not mean
the airlines are abandoning
their hopes for higher fares for
standard services. but they are
a valid step toward attracting
new business.

GET UP AND GO!
AirIines Move Toward

have not been growing as fast
as expected. at a time when
heavy investments have been
made in new and larger equip
ment. The percentage of in
crease in passengers has not
kept pace with the percentage
of increase in seats.
The airlines, as progressive
as they have been in technical
matters, have in general dis
played a reluctance to expert
ment in the low-cost field.
The Family Plan
There were means of anguish
when American Airlines intro
duced the first family fare
some years back, offering cut
rates to family members flying
with the head of the household.
But now the family plan is
generally accepted as a way of
attracting extra business.
When the 17-day off-seaSon
excursion fare across the North
Atlantic went into effect on a
trial basis last year, there were
more shouts of woe. This year
there is a rush to tailor pack
age plans around the excursion
fare, which goes into effect
again on October /. )
Even the shuttle service on
the East Coast came into being
only after the Civil Aeronautics
Board indicated it would look
with favor on Allegheny Air
lines application to begin such
a service if it were not started
by some airline already serving
the routes.
This reluctance stems from
the feeling that low-cost Serv-
ice might drain business from
more lucrative types of serv-
ices, rather than attract new
customers.
Two new experimental, low
cost promotional fares are in
the works.
One. which began Wednes-
day, is the $19S round-trip
jet coach excursion fare ($178
on piston planes) to cities in
the West. This is good on
flights leaving between noon
Mondays and noon Fridays
from the Washington -Balti-
more area to such cities as Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Las
Vegas, Phoenix and San Diego.
The second, which goes into
effect August 30, calls for half
fare on all flights for those
between the ages of IL and 81

Jersey Shore
Makes II Easy
For Amateurs
By HELEN M. WALKER
Contributing Writer

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.
Fishing piers along the South
Jersey coast provide relaxation
to thousands of vacationists as
well as the permanen t
residents.
There are two types of piers.
One is operated by its owner
as a commercial enterprise,
and is open, upon payment of
a fee, usually under 81, to any
body. Visitors in most cases
have their own equipment, but
if they haven't, both rods and
reels, with the necessary hooks,
Sinkers, etc., can be rented.
On such piers there is also
a tackle store, where other
equipment, hooks, line, Sinkers,
bait, etc, can be found for
sale. Some of the piers even
have restaurants, perhaps a
bar, and of course the neces-
sary rest rooms for the patrons.
On week ends and many
times during the week it seems
that everybody wants to fish,
and the ends of the commercial
piers are crowded almost to
capacity. The fish may be
cleaned there. wrapped in pa
per and taken home for the
cooking. ....
1t is the private piers that
are the pride of the area. Take
the Anglers Club of Absecon
Island. located on the beach
at Essex avenue in Margate
City. as an example. Many
others are operated on the
same principle.
The pier extends into the
ocean 500 feet and has two
tees, or platforms, extending
out from the runway for
fishing.
At the far end the largest
tee is located, and often half
a hundred men fish there, es-
pecially on week ends. Three
sheds protect electric refrigera-
tors, one for bait, one for food
and drink, and a phone to the
club house proper.
On both sides Of the tee on
the beach side compartments
of wire and wood have been
built where fish can be placed
until they are cleaned. A cop
per covered bench over these
compartments is used to pre-
pare bait on wooden boards;
at each end running water is
available to clean fish.
In front of the pier off a
small boardwalk is the club
house. 1t is open all year.
During the summer its men,
bers are active in fishing con-
tests, competing with. nearby
clubs and entering teams in
all surf events. 1t also has its
own club contests. 1t provides
luncheonS for its members on
many week ends.

BY JACK JONAS
Star Travel Editor

Senator Clair Engle. Demo-
crat of California, feels the
airlines should continue cut
ting down on frills and turn
increased attention to fares
that will attract more passen-
gers of modest means.
He has a solid point.
Nowhere is the practice of
keeping up with the Joneses
more prevalent than in the
airline industry.
Meals prepared by Maxim's,
diet control beverages, ver-
mouth atomizers for mixing
your own martins, inflight
movies, hot towels, "super
snackS" for the man who wants
a bedtime meal-the list of
frillS goes on and on.
And yet, the success of
Eastern Air Lines low-cost,
no-nonsense shuttle flights be-
tween certain East Coast cities
should be a glowing indication
that there are still passengers
who are interested primarily in
getting from here to there as
quickly as possible, at the most
convenient time possible-and
saving a little money in the
process.
(On September Is, Eastern
will double the number Of
flight on its Washington-N New
York shuttle service.)
When the travel editor trav-
els, he picks the flight that will
get him there on the day he
wants to go at the time
he wants to travel. The frillS
can wait until he arrives. He
suspects many others who
travel often hold the same
view.
