a Tribute

TO MRS. LUNA T. MULLEN
Luna was not widely
known outside her immediate
family and friends and, the
world is poorer thereby.
She can best be described
in one short simple phrase
"She was a good woman"
with many talents known on
ly to her family ana close
Lends.
A skillful seamstress, she
enjoyed sewing and made
garments for others. A COM
petent horticulturist, her We
getable and flower gardens
were a joy to see. Produce
was shared freely with all
who called to admire them.
She was an artist in cook
cry, as any who were privi-
lodged to be entertained in
her Immaculate home can
testify.
She was a devoted wife,
mother and grandmother, a
kind and loving sister, aunt,
cousin and friend. She was a
devoted Methodist, attended
church rerularly as long as
she was physically able, as
her pastor, the Rev. Craw-
ford Ray, will confirm.
She will be sorely missed
but those of us who knew
her can only say Via Con

have unleashed a surge OF
new products aimed at CASH

No longer are hair care
products limited to the ira

plastic squeeze tubes or with
fancy multiple-tooth applica-

ways that let advertisers loud

Brand names given to these
new items usually have a
strongly masculine connota-

shopper will be treasured

Market research experts
say that younger men, nota-
bly, t~een-agers, are part Of
the reason for this develop

intensified to the point where
today's youthful Sir Galahads
are far more interested in

handled the difficulty wisely.
Did they blame President Kennedy
for using troops? Not one. They felt
that he had no choice in the face of
Governor Barnett's resistance.
| don't mean to say that the per-
sons with whom | spoke liked to see
troops used in such a manner. None
did. But | found none who condemned
Kennedy for his actions. Instead, they
condemned Governor Barnett and Mis-
s~issippi.
It's not a pleasant thought, is it?
And | suspect this may be the reason
we Mississippians are not facing up
to the cold, unpleasant truth. Many of
our newspaper editors and official
spokesman would prefer to say that it
isn't so = that our stand helped our
image.
And I suppose many readers viii
be angered by what I am reporting.
They would much prefer that I tell
them a falsehood, to tell them that
all the folks up in Cleveland are cheer
