With each vessel presently averaging better than 400 passengers a trip this mark has been shattered many times over in the past few days.

 "Even amazing," Richard A. Downing, Comni ssioner of Public Works said, lis that the Gilman report, which the Green-Spaulding Toner report cOncurred tn, shows that only O,l87 passengers would be carried in 1870. This figure is also to be surpassed this first year."
 This doesn' t the system will make money this first year, although the system has surpassed the passenger estimate and may reach the vehicle estimate for the fourth year, which is the year the system is to show it's first profit.

In a recent community development
progress report released by the Missis-
sippi Economic Council on the Merit
Program. Lexington was listed among
those towns that have not yet qualified
for a single Merit Award. Durant and
TchuIa are among those towns that
have Qualified and received at least
one award.
For the benefit of those people who
do not know what the Merit Program
is or what its intentions are: The pro-
gram is designed to furnish guidelines
for community and city leaders who
are interested in seeing their town
grow. The program is divided into ten
categories, those being, education,
Identification, fire protection. health,
and sanitation, housing and construo-
ton, long range planning, municipal
finance, police and traffic, recreation
and streets.
In every area of the program, Lex

ington is measured against standards
developed for a town Of similar size.
All of these realistic projects have
been obtained by some town and are
within u reach if we work in that
direction.
The Merit Program is built on the
idea that every town should take stock
Of it's own needs and determine what
it will do on its w to increase its
position among the leading towns in
Mississippi. Its final aim is to help &C
compIish a goal that we are all interest
ed in, which is that Of providing jobs
to keep our young people in our state.
Much progress is being made in
many towns, and if we want to be a
part Of this progress. we must make
some changes and get busy on n or
all of the Merit detectives. If every
body will pull together and get busy
we can begin to make Lexington a real
Merit Community!

A frightening reminder

By way of the Clarion Led
ger we pass on an item out
of Tom Ethridge's Notebook.
1t will make you think:
con a cold blustery morn
ing in January, a young man
took the oath of office as Chief
Executive of his nation. He
was 43 years old.
Standing by his side was
his predecessor, a highly re-
spected General of the Armies
who just Is years before had
been in command of his
Country's forces when the
Germans were defeated. The
new Executive was a Roman
Catholic who celebrated his
accession to office by -spon.

til 3 a. m. This Chief eXecu.
tive owed his position to q
small minority.

Later, ignoring the Legisla
tive bodies of his country
he sought to regulate all &C
tivities by executive order.

March of Dimes Fights Against =
Grief Despair OF Birth Defects
By PEARL S. BUCK

Miss Buck, a Nobel Prize win
ner in literature, wrote this
urticIe as her contribution to
the 1863 March Of Dimes.
Her comments vnderseore the
importance Of The NutionoI
Foundations research pro-
gram, which seeks causes and
cures for all kinds Of birth
defects. In addition, the
March Of Dimes finances q
rapidly increasing number OF
special treatment cenfers
ucross the country and has
uwurded approximately 100
scholarships to help train
young people in the health
professions. One Of Miss Bucks
books, "The Child Who Never
Crew." tells Of her daughter,
born with a birth defect.
The cost of a birth defect
cannot be measured. When
a child is born imperfect,
the first cost is to the par
ents. It is the cost of grief,
overwhelming in its impact.
It is the cost of hopelessness
if the defect cannot be
mended. It is the cost of be-
w~ilderment. Where shall the
stricken parents go for adj
vice and help?
Perhaps there is no help pos
sible. Then the cost falls heavily
upon the whole family and
sooner or later this must in
clude the child, if he lives to
grow into understanding of his

If the handicapped person can
not support himself, he goes
into an institution, and becomes
a public charge.
Our institutions are crowded
with people who have had no
chance to become what they
might have been, even as handi-
capped persons. Of course the
defect with which they were
born might have been pre-
vented in the first place. Since
it was not, it might have been
remedied or compensated for
through education for a voca-
ton. Since it was not, the per-
son remains helpless and hope
less. The public institution is
the saddest place in the world
for anyone able to understand
where he is and why. Even the
best of them are sad.
Must Be Prevented
What is the answer? The
answer is simply that birth de-
fects can and must be pre-
vented. Science has made ire
mendouS strides in recent years
in prevention of disease. 1t
must now proceed to make
even greater strides in proven
ton of defects. We are only
beginning to discover how many
such defects can be prevented.
We know that most Of the
causes for mental re~tardation
can be prevented and children

sources of unutterable sorrow.
Even after they are born, some
conditions can be changed, no.
tably in the field of defective
metabolisms. What was once
taken as an act of God, we now
know to be an act of violated
nature, and we can learn how
to follow the laws of nature
and prevent the violation.
Much Is Known
We know, too, that physical
defects can be caused by GER
tain viruseS and chemicals. In
short, we alreG1v know 50
much that every additional bit
of information may mean JOY
instead of sorrow, a productive
useful member of society in

his community and his society.

science and our times greater
than this. Even in terms of
money it is cheaper to prevent,
by research, rather than to cope

that more knowledge can bring
such glorious returns. Let us

duction Of healthy, happy nor
