industrial progress.

and thus seems doubly probable Every line OF his work seems
to warn the reader that catastrophe awaits next door and will
soon stomp heavily on his own front porch.
He has been called a writer of one locale, a man who knows
nothing but the South and nothing of the South he has encom-
passed the whole world Of ambiguity end contradiction, violence
and compassion.
His South is the jungle of Sanctuary, the noble manor house
of Sartoris, the aristocratic intellect of The Unvanquished, the

idiocv and perversion of The Sound and the Fury.

way he put it.

An Appreciation:
Faulkner A Testimony To Human Dignity

On Friday, July s William Faulkner, famed Mississippi author,
d-ed OF a heart attack. The CA year-old Oxford resident is mourn
ca lar be- ono the bounds of our nation, for there goes with him
one OF Amerlcas most unfainng opponents of human dignity.
his many novels dealt with an imaginary Mississippi county
called YoknapataWpha, but the Inhabitants he created will live
nate in being recognized in his lifetime, but fame did not come
before struggle. A World War veteran, he did not graduate
either from hlgh school or from Ole Miss which he attended.
His family was not of the Old South arisocracy, but it was
nlgn IN the upper middle-class. His father held an important al
mlnls'ratlve post at the University Of Mississippi. After his
service IN The British Royal Air Force during the war. he went
to New Orleans where he pursued his literary career.
HIS was no life of ease, he made money by painting houses
2 oong oou JOBS as well as writing a column for the New
orleans llmesFlcayune. At one time he ran a Post Office, but
lost his post for spending too little time on the Job and too much
Tune with cards and friends in the back office.
From this beginning he became the patriarch Of Oxford. Miss.
During the last few years he has been resident writer and lect-
urer IN American liter AZURE at the University of Virginia in
Charlottesville.
All those who knew him describe him as shy and retiring.
put the passion beneath his exterior shell is apparent in his
many novels. The first of these, Soldiers Pay, was published in
1926 The last, The Reviers, appeared this year.
Faulkner's greatness is best indicated by the fact that he
won the, Nobel prize for literature in 1850. He also won the
Pulltzer prize IN 1855. Statesmen, authors, critics, and prominent
citizens from all over the world have reacted in sadness to his
death. One OF the most interesting of these comments comes
from Miss Eudora Welty, herself a Mississippi writer living in
jackson. She describes his work in an article for the Associated
Press, as "a triumphant vision. This vision, like life itself has
us light and dark, its time and place and love and battle. its
generations u feeling, and its long reaches Of what happenes
to people out there and inside, in heart and mind"
Faulkners work abounds in violence, rape. perversion and
nearly all imaginable human ills. They are the more terrible
because they all occur in a Mississippi County, Yoknapatawpha,

Practicing Christianity Is The Answer
Let Us Proyl

The subject of prayer has come
in for rather wide discussion during
the past few weeks.
Perhaps if each of us would pray
more and be more honest and sincere
an the prayers we utter, we would not
live in a state of perpetual fear as so
many people today seem to do, which
rather indicates a lack of confidence in
God.
Again, by praying, perhaps, we
would not worry so much about the
state of the world and the people in
it but would be content to leave it up
TO God and trust him to run it as He
sees fit.
Now this does not mean that we
should all go u own way, oblivious
to and unconcerned about our commu-
nifty and our fellowman.
Christianity, real Christianity, not
just the Sunday-go-to-meeting variety,
makes one concerned about the world
we live in and the welfare of all those
around us. It makes us stand up for
what is right and good and it makes
us condemn that which is evil.
John Noble, the man who spent
nearly ten years as a prisoner of the
communists, says we've become $50
soft" today that we don't even take
a stand on things we are obligated"
Ito take a stand on.
And Mr.. Noble is correct.
Speaking to an audience in Jack
son last week, Mr.. Noble said the most
important thing in the world is for
Americans to start "practicing Christ

done with good intentions, whether
fruitful or not.
But we do think it was intellect
ua1ly dishonest, at least, for MI. Bar
nett not to mention the fact his adj
ministration started off with $4,000
10000 On hand = a surplus Inherited
from the J. P. Coleman administration.
And when the unencumbered bank
balance we have today is subtracted
from the surplus Governor Barnett
started with, we find that, despite the
glowing reports, actually We spent in
our state $21,463,000.0 100 more than we
took in during the past thirty months.
There's no way to gloss over the
financial facts Of life and people of the
state know it.
So does Governor Barnett.
