Identification
Crusades Pays

The efforts of a lot of peo-
pie dedicated to Making
Mississippi More Beautiful"
are paying off. Even the cas-
ual observer must notice the
improved appearance of Mis-
sissippi's highways this sum-
mer, as compared with former
years.
Chairman Fielder Dearman
of the State Highway Com
mission says it's true that the
Highway Department h a
stepped up its litter campaign
considerable. In addition to
more frequent roaside clean
up, employees have been bonn
barded with anti-litter infor-
nation; every Highway De-
partment vehicle has a litter
message, and every piece of
mail originating in the de-
partment carries a reminder
to emphasize the waste and
unsightly aspects of highway
litter.
But Dearman says most of
the big improvement has come
about as a result of public
recognition of the problem.
Countless people have con-
tributed to this-the Keep
Mississippi Beautiful Commit
tee, press, radio and televis-
ion, garden and civic clubs
all over the state and many
others.
It costs money to pick UP
litter on the highways-big
money. Unsightly roadsides
undoubtedly ~penalize us in
many other ways, dampen en-
thusiasm of our tourists, dis
courage prospective industrial
clients, convey the erroneous
impression that we are a SLOW
enly people.
Mississippi cannot afford
any of these needless detract-
ions. We're on the move. and
with the help of every citizen,
we can make our roadsides a
showcase for a great state.

Letter To Editor
Dear Mrs. Smith:

Dear Mrs. Smith:
Since your paper is so po-
tent a force in helping the
Mississippi Heart Association
finance its program for heart
disease research, education
and community action, we
think you're entitled to more
than a "thank YOU for your
part in a successful Heart
Fund.
We do thank you for such
complete and public spirited
coverage of the heart disease
problem and program. But
we feel you should also get
a personal report on the 1862
Heart Fund and on our sew
ardship of the money en-
trusted to us.
First We want you to know
that Mississippians have in
vested S178,956 in the 1862
Heart Fund. It's gratifying
to be able to tell you that
Madison County has a $2,556
stake in the 1862 Heart Fund,
having topped. its fair share
goal.
Next, we're gratified to re-
port that nearly half of this
total is again allocated to re-
search and training which we
believe is the most effective
way to eradicate the heart
diseases which account for
half of all deaths in this coun-
try. We will account in full
for all heart association ex-
penditures, plans and pro-
grams in the annual report we
will send you later this fall.
Please transmit to your staff
the appreciation of the Missis-
sippi Heart Association for
their interest in helping the
10000 heart disease suffer-
ers in our state.
Sincerely,
G.. v. Montgomery, 1862
State Heart Fund Chairman

Abiaca Creek EmptYing
Wafer In Tchula Lake

An unprecedented rise OF
ten feet in Tchula lake last

Drainage Canal above Cruger
has broken its banks, now
flows through Clear lake,
P]nchback lake, Fish lake,
Mud lake, Dollar lake and

EDITORIAL OF NOTE

We would sincerely like to know,
being puzzled all our life as to the var
ious and sundry things at n time or
another labeled socialism. For more
than fifty years this writer has read
and listened to exhortations against
the dangers and calamities that would
befall this nation if it did not turn
away from socialistic tendencies.
So many things claimed to be tain
ted in socialism in those early days are
20 taken as an integral part of our
government. The causes change, but
the cries never cease. Today, efforts
are being made to raise the cry louder
than any previous time. And, if social
ism does not scare enough it is fire.
quently linked with communism. In
fact some people seem to hold to the
notion that the two are practically the
same.
All of this in spite of the fact that
some of the greatest plans and pro-
grams this country has developed for
the benefit of its citizens have been Ia
beled socialistic and to some extent the
label fits. 3
Some of these, argued as being So
c~ialistic at the time of adoption include
social security, various welfare and aid
programs, pension and retirement sys-
TENS AMI numerous projections and
services how made available to the poor
who once had nothing to look forward
to beyond their w feeble efforts.
It was said when Congressman
sent free seed to their constituents that
this was socialism. Today We have gov
eminent farm programs that make
loans and allow payments and subsi-
dies for almost every phase of agricul-
ture. Of course, this comes under at
tack, but no one we'll informed on the
farming situation seriously believes
that the government could get out OF
the picture without complete collapse
of agriculture.
Even our state government has a.
donted various programs that would
have been labeled socialistic a few de-
cades back. We have a forestry bank
various promotional and encourage
ment programs to which the govern
ment lends support and contributes ca
pital. Our Balance Agriculture With In
dustry program, which the whole state
so enthusiastically supports, is social
istic tinged in the eyes of many. We
spend tax money to publicize our at
fractions and to make things easy for
manufacturers who are seeking the
~friendliest possible climate. We give
new industry tax exemptions at the ex-
pense of those already established.
And, in fact, our own homestead ex-
emption law must be classed as
what socialistic in nature.
We go even further. We build coli
seums, football stadiums and other
structures in Jackson and elsewhere
over the state for benefit of only part
of the people but which are financed
out of public money. We could go on
and on and on about the numerous pro-
grams we adopt and which weIcan not
clearly disassociate from socialism.
What we would like to know is
whether the people who are constantly
harping on creeping socialism" want
to do away with all the various pro-
grams we now have and to prevent
others that may be proposed this de-
cade or the next.
We are a little amused and some
what bemused by the latest develop
ment in our fair state, that of civic
clubs getting into the fight against So
