Mississippi Automobile Association Urges
Public Practice Good Driving Habits

Experience is not always the best teacher! At least
not in driving says MISSISSIPPI STATE AUTOMO-
BILE ASSOCIATION, INC Statistics show that over
Sc per cent of the drivers in fatal accidents have been
driving for one year or longer.
The Time of driving experience is apparently not
as important as the kind of driving experience. Good
driving habits should be set from the beginning and
quickly become automatic. Reckless habits tend to be-
come even more so with time, as drivers become over
continent and careless. There's a saying that mo one
IS entirely worthless; they can always be used as a bad
example,. However. fatality statistics can only teach
shose left living. Set a good example while still living,
by practicing good driving habits and building bene-
ficial driving experience.

It is easy enough for some
Of the Negro agitators inn
patiently TO brush aside all
stories about friendly rela-
tons between the white and
colored people in the South
and TO sneer at the kindness
ses in the so-called master

But the truth is that, while
a social prejudice against
intermarriage Of races, for
example, does exist, this does
not connote a lack Of friend
ship for Negroes, individual
ly or as a race. among the
white people Of the South.
Letters, moreover. from the
more discerning of the Negro
leaders indicate that they do
not consider everyone who
disagrees with them to be q

disapprcval Of the tactics of

which produce bad feeling

But as long as politicians

Is because American policy

Most Of the difficulties
presently facing the New
Frontier were attributed by
President Kennedy yester-
day to the simple fact that
rhythms influence the trend
Of events.
He was told at his press
conference that some impress
sion existed that he is pres
entity on the defensive with
respect to his policies, foreign
and domestic. The President
smiled. 81
He said he believed that
some rhythm existed in both
personal and national life.
The administration, he sug-
gested, was still in a period
Of CESSATION and that for
his part he preferred his
current dilemmas to those
that existed in the summer
Of 1861.
This might normally be
viewed as merely some airy
persiflage in q conference
compelling him to one long
defense in answer to the sus-
tanned drumfire of criticism
heard daily from Republicans
and some Democrats. 1t hap
pens, however. to be in line

Almost everyone with q
humane instinct would like to
see better relations between
Negroes and whites in the
United States. Existing prob
lens are not likely to be
solved, however, either by
lawless demonstrations or by
reliance merely on legal"
steps, so many of which go
beyond the letter Of the law.
There's something deeper in
volved.
II is, therefore, interesting
to get from another country
a detached and dispassionate
view such as appeared a few
days ago in The Daily Tele-
graph Of London, England,
one Of the Oldest and most
influential newspapers in
Europe. In an editorial APP
ropos Of President Kennedy's
message to Congress last
week on civil rights, the Tele-
graph said in part:
"As all the world knows,
what inhibits the advance
ment Of the Negro in the
United States is the same
force that operates, in greater
or less degree, wherever he
inherits from past genera
tons a tradition of inferiori-
ty. 1t is social prejudice: and
that is a sentiment that can
be outgrown, but not re-
pealed.
Though all must applaud
the Presidents renewed cam
paign to enforce the equal
law, acts Of Congress or Par
lament cannot make the
white man feel for the black
man as a brother. An
American would be a politi-
cal pariah who denied the
Declaration Of Independence,
with its dogmatic opening
that all men are created
equal; but that 'self-evident
truth will no more get a
Negro an invitation to dine
with a Virginian Senator and
his wife than it could induce
the eminent Virginians who
promulgated 1t to emancipate
their slaves. A social revolu-
ton is required, and will
come: But only with time"

1t may or may not be true
that a planned effort to keep
the President high in popu-

way and that legislative con-
troversy will not be allowed
to interfere. 1t seems UNI
likely that a President who
