Woman's Power (by Char
les M. Hills, Clarion Ledger,
Jackson, Miss.)
This article appeared in
the Clarion Ledger, Satur-
day, January 10, and is a fine
piece which every woman
should read. Something eff
fective can be done, if the
ladies get together and work.
1.-THE women of the South are
speaking, and they are being
heard and appreciated"
Especiallf there in Missis-
sippi where we hear most of
what we write, it is now a
byword. Let the women do it :
the men have made a mess of
things long enough.
Certainly we should say
that the women should be
recognized for their sincerity
and courage in these days
when outside forces are try
ing to destroy all that the
South holds dear.
1t is true that the male of
of the species is hard pressed
to hold the fort, and it is
encouraging to see our wo-
menfolk standing alongside
us and even taking the lead
in the fight to maintain our
way of life and Southern in
tegrity.
The Women for Constitu-
tional Government, meeting
in Montgomery, Alabama,
Thursday, opened the way for
a national organization for
return to the concepts and
precepts that that made this
nation great.
They have made a gauntlet
of the kid glove and flung it
in the face Of those who would
tear down what their fore
fathers built a great nation
under a great constitution
that should be abridged by Ii
beral court edicts nor execu-
tive directive.
The men of the South may
wen share with pride, the
helping hand of the gentle
sex, grown militant, as the
fight for maintaining con-
servatiSm and common sense
government carries on. In a
keynote address by a Mis-
sissippi woman writer, Mrs.
Florence Sillers Ogden, called
for return to the free enter
prise system, decentraliza-
ton of big government and
reinstatement of the constitu-
ton of the United States as
written and not as interpreted
by loud mouthed socialists.
A grim warning, elect public
officials we can trust; should
ring out through the state
and the south.
Here in Mississippi, every
candidate appearing on the
ballot this year in the Mag
nolia State should be care
fully investigated before you
vote. the infiltration o.
"pinks" 1hould be halted.
The time to act is now : &C.
cordNng to thb, Women OF
Constitutional Government.
And they are right!!!
Before you go to the polls,
before you let yourself be
SWayed, know whom you
plan to vote for, and who you

SO program
farm grain
signup nears

Farmers who grew corn,
grain sorghum, or barley on
their farms in 1859 or 1860
will soon be able to sign up
to participate in the 1858 feed
grain program, Lynn Jordan,
Chairman of the Holmes Ag-
rDcultural Stdh1 ization and
Conservation County Commit
tee, said today. The signup
period for the voluntary feed
grain program has been set
for February l through March
%.
The same signup period ap-
plies to farmers in spring :
wheat areas who want to take
part in the 1868 wheat stabi-
lization program. The pro-
gram for wheat ended Deem
Der IA.
The chairman listed the fol-
lowing principal features of
the 1853 feed grain program:
Cd the program Is voluntary;
CD it applies to corn, grain
sorghum, and barley, for
which crops the base acre
ages are added together into
one "feed grain base" for the
farm; 10 program parici-
pants must take at least 20
percent of the total base out
of production and devote such
acres to a conservation use;
"a a program participant
must not exceed the feed
grain base for any other farm
in which he has an interest
in the feed grain crops; 80
diversion payments will be
made to participants for
shifting acreage from pro-
duction into conservation;
60 price support payments
(18 cents a bushel for corn,
IA cents for barley, and Is
cents for grain sorghum) will
be made to program partici-
pants on the normal produc-
ton of their 1853 feed grain
acreage, no matter what use
is made of the grains; Cd
regular price support loans
and purchase agreements on
the three feed grains will be
available only to participants,
and they will be available on
the entire 1863 production of
the three feed grains.

HJC hits road
for three games

Holmes Junior Col

last eight games, hit the road
for a crucial three-game set
Friday by travelling to Fulton
to tangle with Itawamba.
On Saturday Bonneville will
be the site as Northeast a.

day the Bulldogs will collide
with Mississippi Delta at
Moorhead.
Coach jamie Howell's Ca
mines will return home Thurs
day (Feb. y to meet the
Kinds Eagles in "a 8 p. m.
encounter.
Despite a ITO record most
of Holmes games have been
close with the opponents
average hitting at 62.2 and
the locals at 61.2.
Defense and rebounding,
which were Holmes bread
and butter during the first
nine games has slackened
to the point of almost no re-
turn.
Howell has stuck with the
same lineup for the past two
games, but may change
things against tough Itawam-
ba, a team they have already
toppled twice, once during
Itawamba's Holiday Tourna-
ment and once here.

with coupons.
Self supporting families
whose income is at the relief
level, are eligible, as well as
families on relief. Each must
put up the amount of cash
normally spent for food to get
stamps, but the value of the
stamps is considerably higher"
than the cash put up, Mr..
Vanneman said.
Pittsburgh, st. Louis and
Detroit are the three cities ex-
pected to be taking part in the
stamp plan by June 80.
President Kennedy has said
he would ask Congress to con-
tinue the food stamp plan, Mr..
Vanneman said, with an ap-
preparation Of $50 million for
next year. But this would pro-
vide little or no room for
expansion, he said. Someday
the stamp plan might be
adopted on a Nationwide basis,
as the surplus food program is
now. and all the communities
would be eligible, although all
probably would not want to
take part, he said.

No Coast Guard boats would

Once, however, there was a

ably would be just right, Mr..
