Editing a newspaper today
is a hazardous undertaking,
even in rural Mississippi
where most folks are peace
full and pleasant most of the
time.
There are about six places
in the state today where
some group of malcontents is
trying to give their local edi-
tors a hard time - and sue
ceeding in some of them, we
are sorry to say.
The latest episode is in
Pascagoula where Editor Ira
Harkey wrote an editorial ap-
pealing for law and order in
the county in the wake of
the Ole Miss desegregation
controversy.
1t is hard to see how any
group of respectable citizens
could be against law and order
= but apparently they read
their own peculiar brand of
law and order into what Mr..
Harkey wrote.
So they held a meeting and
decided to try to put h S
newspaper (The Chronicle, a
daily out of business.
The movement proposed to
use the original plan advanced
by the white Citizens Coun-
ellis when they organized
back in 1854, to put "pres-
sure" on their advertisers.
In other words, a "boycott."
We think most folks in
Mississippi are getting pretty
tired of small-minded people
who are so lowdown they go
around conspiring against
their fellow citizens and try.

"A ring OF american NdVl
vessels surrounds Cuba to-
day and an unprecedented
buildup of military power In
Florida and along the eastern
coast is underway, obviously
pointing toward a military in
vasion of Cuba, if necessary,
to achieve the detectives set
forth by the President.
News of the presence o t
missile bases in Cuba with a
striking power of 1000 nauti-

ed interest in civil defense on
part of Holmes citizens

We invite the attention of

In the event of a thermo-
nuclear attack on the United
States, Civil Defense officials
advise these precautions:
/. Take cover Immediately
and remain inside until you
know it is safe to come out.
This knowledge can be OBJ
tanned by tuning in the radio
to $40 or 1240. They will be
the only stations broadcasting
in the event of an emergency.
News of developments viii

as soon as it can be obtained.
2. AS to shelter the
| safest and best protection is
q fallout shelter. In the event
none is available, citizens are
advised that the basement Of
a home would provide the
! most effective protection
the openings are sandbagged
If neither a fallout shelter
or a basement is available
the next best protection fol
citizens would be in the mid
die of a house, with as many
walls as possible between the
occupants and the outside.
The idea is to put as much
matter between the indivi
dual and radiation as possible

This emphasizes the historic

It is the oldest such organi-

State Heads
To Install
Seat Belts

State officers, including the
Governor, are setting an ex-
ample for citizens of Delaware
in the use of seat belts, ].
James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council, said
yesterday.
The Governors car and the
new State Police cars are e.
quipped with seat belts, Ash
ton said. All citizens concerned
for their own safety would do
well to get their own cars
similarly equipped, he sugges :
ted.
No one contends that seat
belts prevent accidents but
carefully conducted tests and
long experience prove conclus-
lively that seat belts do reduce
injuries and in some cases pre-
vent death when traffic acci-
dents occur, the safety official
said. They are inexpensive and
require little time to install.
Some states have already en-
acted laws requiring seat belts
as standard equipment on cars
in the fuure.
Contrary to popular belief,
seat belts are important when
travelling at low speeds" Ash
ton said.
Remember too, most acci-
dents occur withing 25 miles of
home. Whether you're planning
a long trip or just making a
nearby visit. buckle your belt.
And, if you don't have a
belt to buckle, have one in
stalled for your own safety,
and another for the safety
of your front seat passenger. "
