II More Boys Town
Lunches Needed

Magnolia Boys Town re-
ports progress on lunch spon
sors. The response by inter-
ested friends, firms and or
CARNATIONS in the Magnolia
Boys Town appeal for help
in sponsoring a boys lunch
at school resulted in all but
IL boys left needing money
for their hot lunches at
school. The cost for each
sponsor is 81 per week, 81
per month or $34 for a full
year.
Several sponsors are pay
ing for the lunches by the
month and a few have mailed
their checks for the full year.
If the sponsor requests it they
may have the name OF the
bow and a brief case history
and picture of the boy they
are helping with at Magno-
liza Boys Town
Director Henry Bucklew
stated, "This lunch money is
only a part, yet a very vital
part of the cost of sending all
our boys back to school. We
know the public realizes this
and they have been wonder
full in helping is see that all
our boys get the proper lunch
while in school. We even
tried to bring them back to
the home for lunch but this
was impossible because they
get out to eat at different
times. The boys worked at
school during the past years
in exchange for their lunches
but this cannot be done this
year because the lunch room
is in debt, SO all our boys
must pay or not eat. We cam
not let them down. If a few
more friends could help us
reach our goal of 100 per
cent sponsors. we would be
most grateful"

" Star Cheyenne

Royal American Shows and

thrills and enjoyment.
The Fair will be held in

Kinney Brothers Rodeo
will be presented in the new

spills of the old wild west
type performance.
Rodeo puts Individual cow
boys against animals, the
clock and each other in dar-
ing contests where skill is Of
paramount Importance. OF
growing interest in Missis-
sippi, rodeo has long been
popular in the west and de-
veloped from unorganized
contests between individual
cowboys -. usually under
taken on a bet.
Out of the frontier cowboys
betting instinct sprung the
informal prairie contest that
grew up to be rodeo. Most
rodeo events are an out
growth of the skill the old
,twisters needed in the daily
work: roping skittish calves
and rank steers, riding spoo-
ky broncs barely broken to
the saddle and similar activi-
ties.
In past years, rodeos have
attracted capacity crowds
when presented at the Fair,
and this years promises to
be one of the best.

Nazis In Phoenix

August g. 1868 That should be memorable day for
Phoencans for that the day that the Nazs marched
in Phoenix.
Two members of the American Nazi Party paraded
for 40 minutes in front of the national Godwaer for Pres
dent headquarters North Central Avenue before a
group of hecklers (and the heat too, we're nformed)
discouraged them
The two pckets carried signs which said:
"Goldwater supported the Red NAACP"
Communism is Jewish Zionism is Treason
Lincoln Rockwell for Presindent" (sic)
"Goldwater is Race Mixer
Both of the Nazis uniformed. They arm
bands their left which bore the swaska the Of
ficial emblem of the Nazis and the Third Reich.
Two lessons are to be learned from the incident:
l. 1t CAN happen in Phoenix. Freedom and democra-
cy be transient They will last only long each of
us takes spirited interest in government all
levels Unless we do the Nazis, Nazs by other
name will march in Phoenix in greater numbers
2. Only in the worlds democraces the political
crackpotshe Nazis the right the Communists the
left allowed to exist This in itself is eloquent testimony
to the beauty of democracy.
Though the Nazi and Communist deplored, they
exist and this is the way of democracy When they and
other shades of openly epoused opinion suppressed
democracy shall have fled We trust that shall be
the situation in the United States.
