Mississippi on the march,. Forest Resources

Forests and tree farms cover nearly 171k million acres of the State :.
forming one of MIsisspp1s most valuable assets and renewable resources.
Over 200 factories and mills spread all over the State, turning out hmber,
paper and other wood products at a rapidly growing rate :. now moreth than
half a billion dollars worth each year ;. contributing 25% of every dollar
added to the States economy. And wood industries provide steady jobs for
over 100000 people.
In forestry, too, Mississippi is n the march with exciting new develop

A woman, doing a favor, took
a package Of strychnine pills
that had been mailed to her
neighbor out Of their Jointly
shared mailbox.
The woman's l8-month-old
daughter and son, 3, found the
pills on the dresser. They were
rushed to a hospital but the
girl died.
This and other incidents were
cited today by the Post Office
Department and the Food and
Drug Administration in issuing
a warning to shippers and
handlers of drugs and chem
icals.
They urged the use of
tamper-proof containers and
caution in handling upon re-
ceipt.
The strychnine had been
mailed to the neighbor by a
physician, and it resulted in
the only known fatality caused
by such mail shipments. But
the FDA surveyed its district
offices and found several close
calls.
For instance, a drug mailed
to the home of a professor of
medicine was picked up by a
neighbor's child who swallowed
several Of the tablets, became
unconscious, and had to be
hoSpitalized.
In another case, an 11-year-
old boy, mistaken for a physi-
clan Of the same name, was
placed on a medical mailing

which he secretly took from

the boy while under the in
fluence of the drugs, broke
church windows and committed
other delinquent acts.

of the individuals in the cases

SLIPS Per Hour Too High?
Judd Voted TO
Lower Minimum
Wdqe Eroser SoYS

State Senator Donald M. Fraser
last week accused the Judd Volun-
teer Committee Of being less
than completely honest" in its de-
tense Of Representative Walter
Judds voting record on the min
imum wage.
Fraser, the DFL-endorsed can
didate for Congress from the new
all-Minneapohs Fifth District, re-
ferred to a campaign pamphlet
that says Judd voted on three oc-
casions to raise the minimum
wage, most recently to $1.15.
THE original minimum wage
legislation in 1861 called for a
$1.25 minimum" said Fraser. But
Judd voted with the Republican,
Southern Democrat coalition for a
substitute bill that lowered the
prosposed new minimum from
SIPS to $1.15."
Judd voted not so much to
raise the minimum wage to $1.15
as he voted to keep it from being
raised to SIPS. The campaign
folder fails to explain why Mr..
Judd feels that SIPS an hour
$4,000 a WEEKS too high a
wage for an American worker"
Il am glad to see the Judd
people on the defensive" said
Fraser, but I hope they will be
little more fortnight when they
get around to explaining his other
obstructionist votes against such
things as water pollution control,
the proposed department of urban
affairs and his vote against the
1861 appropriation for the Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration."

cause of death among adult Ne

"As time has gone on and blood
mixing has occurred, more and
more Negroes, or people Of Negro
descent have ceased to identify
themselves as Negroes" Galloway
said
To-day it is estimated that per-
haps Is million no longer identify
themselves as Negroes, but carry
the gene. This means that in
America there are at the present
time Is million who admit their
racial descent and Is million who
do not.
Furthermore, it can be reliably
predicted that this number will in
crease to the point where so per-
cent Of the population Of the

Ger Youths OF

Let us get our young people off
the Corners and back into our
Churches where we can get their
morals Strengthened out" said Lew
Howell, advisor with the Phyllis
Wheatley Settle ment House,
speaking during the Youth EN-
ployment Problem among Minor
tiles" meeting last Tuesday night
at Zion Baptist Church.
Mr.. Howell is working with
Rev. J. r. Holloway, pastor of
Zion in a four point program
which will investigate this prob
lem and help elevate it by finding
cooperative persons in important
positions in our City and State
willing to help solve, or at least
relieve this situation.
This project was started in June.
There have been many small con-
ferences and telephone conversa-
tons with key persons such as
Douglas Head, 38th District rep
resentative; Jim Mcdonald FEPC
Head; George Manser from the
Governors Office; Gerald Sheehey,
Worker with the Indians, and num-
erous others of statue. Seventy
five phone calls had been made by
Mr.. Howell alone. Thus far, some
% persons are putting their en-
ergy into working with this pro-
ject.
A second meeting involving
these persons and others who are
interested in community better
ment has been scheduled for Tues
day, September IL, at 8 pm. at
Zion Church. Rev Holloway Is
inviting anyone seeking informa-
ton along with those persons who
can supply - or, are interested in

the professions and skilled trades
and in managerial, administrative,
financial and business positions.
"A high school education pro-
vides the youth with the basic
foundation to go into higher learn
ing or apprenticeship and related
vocational training programs" he
said.
Newman said a growing num-
Der of employers would not hire a
youth who had not completed high
school.
Employers point out that most
dropouts lack the essential learn
ing needed to perform the more
difficult and responsible Jobs in
industry.
For industry to train dropouts
is a slow and expensive matter.
One employer expressed it in this
manner.
"Why should I hire a dropout
when I can hire a much better
qualified high school graduate for
about the same price? Besides, all
too often the youth who drops out
of high school also drops out Of
the job when the going gets
tough"
Newman said boys and girls
now working must decide for
themselves whether to return TO
school or stay out.

the pocket from a regular pay
check tends to lull many young
sters into a false sense Of securi-
ty.
THE labor market for unedu-
Gated, unskilled workers has been
shrinking steadily, the unprepared
youth is the last to be hired and
the first to be fired"
He said such a youngster has
a limited choice Of jobs, mainly
mental, hard labor, service-type
work at low pay and with no
chance for advancement.
when the school dropout be-
comes unemployed, he remains so
for a longer period Of time than
the graduate" he added. There
has been a consistently higher per-
centage Of unemployment among
dropouts than among high school
graduates in recent years."
Newman said that in the ma
tons new industries, such as cleo
tronics, missiles, spacecraft and
communications, many positions
remained untitled because Of the
shortage Of skilled workers.
Some Of these industries are
unable to operate at their highest
levels because Of the inadequate
supply OF qualified personnel" he
said.
The labor official said that with
additional education and training
at the high school level, young
people would have better job OPP

Capetown (ANP) - The grant
ing of the privilege to Africans to
buy white liquor" brandy,
wine, beer, gin, etc. - at any
bottle store in the Union of South
Africa, failed to produce the fights,
robberies, murders, and other such
criminal activity and degradation
which white South Africans gen.
orally had thought would occur.
Instead, white South Africans
were confronted with a quiet ac-
ceptance of this concession, so
much so that they have begun to
read dire meanings in the passive
reception accorded this precedent
establishing law.

cans were able to purchase bottled
goods formerly reserved solely to
whites, there has been a very

What they are after, according
to many Africans, is their free

Some went so far as to say that
in addition, the government should
concentrate upon alternating the
widespread malnutrition which is
the lot Of the country's semi

common knowledge that 400 out of

before reaching the age of 1 year
because of starvation.
