Today my sail I lift
Tho heavy oft with drenching

And torn with many a rift
If hope and light the waters S

And Christ my Barque will

I'll seek the sea at His behest
AND DARE ANOTHER CRU

WE PREPARE FOR FIRST
CLASS CITIZENSHIP. "A.
we prepare ourselves for a
fuller and better life. "a life
in which we can enjoy all the
rights and privileges that are
accorded to ALL AMERICAN
CITIZENS. most important
is our knowledge of the DUT-
les AND RESPONSIBLE
TIES of an American Citizen.
Every American has Oppor-
tunities and every American
has Duties and Responsible
ties. AN important duty of
an American is to USE THE
POWER OF HIS VOTE in
every election to support the
BEST INTEREST of all peo-
pie. which brings to mind
the fact that the DEADLINE
for paying POLL TAX and
other Taxes in the State of
Mississippi in January 81. !.
If you fail to pay your perso-
nal and Real Estate t,xes by
January 81, the government
unit involved accesses a pen
atty of a percent of the total
tax bill as additional pay
ment. but failure to pay
POLL TAX means you CAN
NOT VOTE in State Demo-
cratic Primaries for TWO
YEARS AS our State Laws
require voters to present
POLL TAX RECEIPTS for
two previous years before
casting a ballot in most cleo
tions. Yes, having to pay
additional tax is bad. But
being UNABLE TO VOTE is
worse. Much worse.
REMEMBER, PAY YOUR
POLL TAX BEFORE FEBU-
AIRY 1. "A VOTELESS PEO-
PIE WILL FOREVER BE A
HOPELESS PEOPLE.
