VOTE FOR
MISSISSIPPI
Joseph F. Albright

One of the most important
elections in the history Of Mis-
sissippi is at hand. The outcome
will be felt for many years in
the progress of our state.
Voting is one of democracy's
greatest blessings. The right
co cast a choice in the selection
OF those who shall govern us is
basic foundation of personal
freedom. This is a privilege
which should never be treated
with less consideration than it
properly deserves.
Casting a sane, effective bal
lot requires patriotic interest
and careful study. Any citizen
who casts his or her vote solely
upon the basis of emotion is
guilty of self betrayal. Men and
measures are the fundamental
consideration for voting.
Let US beware of the candi-
dates for public office and trust
who glibly make political pro-
misses which, on the very face
of them, can not be kept. Rath-
er let US cast our votes upon
logic and common sense as it
applies to the records and plat
forms of those who seek to gov
ern US and administer our laws.
If the voter will look closely
enough and study care
fully enough he will be
able to see through that por-
ton of the candidates political
statements which are what have
been called window dressing"
by the old "pros" of the poll
teal campaigns, and to concen-
trste on what the office seeker
has to say about the issues that
effected ALL Mississippians.
These latter are the ones that
really matter in the long run.
For example it was expected
by just about everybody that
all candidates for the governor
ship would espouse the cause of
segregation; but it would be
a very stupid person, indeed,
who would be satisfied with the
obvious and not demand to know
where these candidates stood,
let Us say, on the all important
matter of Mississippi's great in
dustrial expansion and what he
intended to contribute toward
it from his executive seat if he
was elected.
All the foregoing is but to
say this: in this hour of the
crossroads of the destiny of our
state, let US give her the loyal
assistance of good citizens by
casting the careful sane ballot,
with calmness and our very best
judgement. History will bless US
for it.

WILLIE MAYS SPECTACLE

LAR. A West Coast television
team, Lee M e n d e on and
Charlie Einstein, are prepar-
ing a television documentary
on Willie Mays. One afternoon
they went out to Candlestick
Park and started shooting
Mays in the third inning of
a game. One of the TV tech
nicians said, "Why shoot him
now? He's in a slump"
Mendelson said, eve ordered
a home run. We need it for
the show"
A moment later, Mays re-
sponded by hitting a home
run. Two elderly ladies, sitting
in back of the television crew,
had overheard Mendelson's re-
marks. Said one to the other:

fixed"

SUNBURN
By: The Rural Health Council

It's time again for that first
sunburn of the season. Here's
how to do it.
Go to the beach or pool OH
the first hot day. Stay all day
in the sun in your swim suit,
particularly through the noon
hour when the rays are most
penetrating. Don't bother with
protective lotions, It really is
very easy to get painful, al
most crippling burn. If you
stay out long enough, you can
even get a deep third-degree
burn.
Actually, tanning has no ply
steal value. Exposure to the
sun is damaging to the skin.
Sunlight speeds wrinkling end
aging and excessive exposure
over period of time can cacse
serious skin conditions.
Physicians would prefer that
their patients avoid exposure to
the sun as much as possible.
However, medical men also ars
aware that sun tanning is wide

Manners Or
Mathematics

AS the racial drama in this
country continues to develop |
keep remembering a book pub
lished 20 years ago. The Khan
had been riding high, and the
provocations, riots and such
then were strictly one way.
The book was Lanterns on
the Levee". The author was
Williams Alexander Percy and
his father was a senator from
Mississippi before the red neck
revolution.
A lot of today's political ra-
cism goes back to those days.
A lot of sons have been suffer-
ing for the sins of their fathers
since. There is liable to be a
great deal more suffering here
and there before this crisis re-
solves itself. But crises do re-
solve themselves. So will this
one when people get bored with
it and leave it alone and when
and if race ceases to be a politi-
cally profitable issue.
AS for this crisis, like older
races we even may learn to ra-
tionalize it and live with it, dis
posing of it in that fashion.
Many European nations, for in
stance, have their different eth
mic and religious groups, COM
petitive and sometimes hostile.
The Venetians, Romans and ST.
cilians manage after their own
fashion in Italy, and the British
finally found solutions to the
Irish, Scottish and Welsh ques-
tons.
| expect it will be this way
with US some day. When, l don't
know. AS long as the Negro
vote can be used to bargain
with two major parties we are
going to have a priskly situa-
ton. But some day will come
the reaction, or boredom or a
simple truce between the mod
crate and far-sighted of both
sides.
Then we can settle down to
a natural solution of the diff
culties.
There was considerable about
race relations in Lanterns on
the Levee". The Percy family
lived in Greenville. The author
was a lawyer, a musician,
poet and planter. Mr.. Percy
was modern sort of Renais-
sance man, domiciled in the Mis-
sissippi Delta. Like others of
his generation, he felt obliga-
tons to others.
This was considerably more
than the old noblesse oblige. Mr..
Percy stood up for human rights
and against the Klan in the
days when it was really dam
gerous to oppose the Khan.
Living when and where he did
this was a matter of white
man opposing the abuse of the
Negro.
In another place at another
time the characters and colors
might have been different, but
the principle is the same.
He wrote that an important
part of the business of inter-
racial amity was good man.
ners. This includes respect for
the feelings, rights and dignity
of others.
Now that is one of the etern-
al truths which determines hu-
man relationships without re-
gard to race. 1t once kept the
South glued together. Cat
times) there were more good
manners on the side of the Me-
gro than some of the privileg-
ed.
Decent manners, tolerance and
patience are rapidly diminish

onstrations and such are eat
