He kicked it off with a S10C
deposit in Maryland National
Bank, Rockville, and the Sen
tinel carried a story about his

its first page last week.

in the story and talked to him,
then they wrote stories.
A television network sent out
a camera crew and tapped an
interview for a coast to coast
hookup.
Customers and his friends all
started talking about it. saying
they thought he had a fine idea.
Mike, who recently retired
after q years in the Navy, is
sorry his identity got out. He's
afraid people will think it's a
publicity stunt.
But it isn't at all" he insists
truthfully. And the Sentinel
backs him up on that. He
insisted to us earlier he didn't
want any publicity for himself

When Mike took over the
filling station last December, he
had to decide whether he wanted
to pay $50 a week for trading
stamps. The salesman was per.

week. But think of the money

that could go toward a worthy
cause if other businessmen did
the same thing.
Mike had earlier said he would
put at least 500 a month into
the fund for five months. This
week he said he's going to put
500 a month into the fund indie

Also, this week he has refined
the idea to include a distinctive
"decal" that every participating
store would post prominently.
He's already having one made
up. For every $500 he contri.

another decal on his big win

Jerusalem" To Be
Shown In Lexington

Evangelist Billy Graham
fulfills an ambition of many
years as he tells the absorb
ing story of ancient "Jerusa-
lem" in World Wide Pictures
newest film release.
Jerusalem will be shown
in Lexington on Sunday, July
% at 7:30 q. m. at the First
Baptist Church.
The City of Jerusalem, for
four thousnd years the focal
point of human history and
Divine intervention, has been
totally destroyed on at least
two occasions: has been cap
tured by conquering armies
more than thirty times; but
has rebuilt from the rubble
of its own ruins to outlive all
conquerors, cllnging tena-
ciously to its rocky founda-
tlOns as if determined to a.
wait a future day of glory.
The feture length motion
picture, Jerusalem, was
filmed in beautiful 35mm
Eastman color by the same
Company whose film docu-
ment of the Graham Teams
1860 African itinerary, "Af-
RIGA on the Bridge" won the
American Film Festivals Gold
en- Reel award in the Church
AT Work" category. Director
Dick Ross, Cameramen, Rich
ard LederhauS and Russell
BuSby, apply their teehniques
with even greater skill in the
story of Jerusalem" written
by James Collier.
Dramatic vignettes provide
effective transition sequences
beginning with the Conquest
of the Promised Land, con-
ytinuing to the present dilem-
ma of the divided City: Mos
es and Joshua atop Mount
NebO overlook the Jordan
Valley; Mary and Joseph
wend their weary way along
the Jericho Road toward
Bethlehem; we see Mary
Magdalene, both as a young
girl in Galilee and as the sor-
rowing woman at the Gar
den Tomb; and the Centurian
who stood at the foot of the
Cross witnesses to his new
found faith. All this Symbol
Lies the dynamic of the Ear
ly Church, as Jew and Gen
tile alike are transformed by
the power of the Resurrection.
Rare Photographic courage
includes sequences from Solo
mons Quarries underneath
the city; Hezekiah's Tunnel,
where the water from the
Virgins Spring still flows
clear and cold to the Pool of
Sloan within the City walls;
newly eXcavated areas on the
site of Solomon's and Herod's
Temples; and what is prob
ably the first production foot
age of new British diggings
below the South East corner
of the City wall, site of the
Jebusite village stronghold
which David cinquered to
establish the City.
1t is difficult to speak of
the City of Jersalem without
an aWarenesS of its inevitable
role in the Future. The Holy
City's place in Prophecy and
the promise of Christ's return
are favorite themes of the
Evangelist. Billy Graham. Lit
tie wonder that the picture
climaxes with a challenge
that blends sober warning
with joy and inspiration of
personal commitment to Him
Who said, "And if ] go and
prepare a place for you, i will
come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where ! am,
there We may be also"
Jerusalem. an hour-long
motion picture, rich in color
and the authentic sounds of
the Land, is admirably scored
with music composed and
conducted by Ralph Carmich-
ael.
The film Jerusalem" is an
unforgettable thrill and chal-
lenge.

and told how the face of the
Stale has been improved in
appearance and made more
beautiful thereby.
Bad Situation
Mr.. Coleman said he was
concerned by what some"
can make us do to ourselves.
by putting Kennedy into
the forefront of this cam
paign, as they are doing. they
are only hurting our cause in
the long run.
Il voted for President Ken
nedy, along with Governor
Wallace of Alabama and our
own Senators, Eastland and
Stennis. In doing SO we were
protecting their committee as
signments in Congress.
To-day, Eastland and STEM
mis- are in the forefront of the
Civil Rights battle in Con-
gress," he pointed out.
Without such key commit
tee assignments in the Con-
gress. Mississippi's cause and
that of the South would be
lost completely and without
any hope, he affirmed.
Enjoys Respect
MIR. Coleman said he could
help the cause of Mississippi
and the South by working
with other governors in the
South whose friendship anc
confidence he enjoys.
The decision on whom tt
vote for in the gubernatorial
race boils down, Mr. Coleman
said, to what kind of COVER
nor" one wants in Jackson.
He concluded by saying he
was "for sanity in govern
ment, for success rather than
failure"
He said he was tired Of
Mississippi being "a laugh.
ng stock" and the kicking
boy" of the nation, that il
elected he would not betray
the people but devote him
self wholly to building a
greater state.

Office Manners
important, Too
BY CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

There is an old saying that
"trifles make perfection, but
perfection is no trifle." While
We all strive for perfection,
few, If any Of us, ever attain
1t. 1t is my belief that adher-
ence to these little words of
wisdom will bring the goal
q little closer. Particularly is
this true Of the woman who
strives to be a success as a
private secretary.
To begin with, the impor-
lance of good manners in an
office Is som e thing that
should never be underesti-
mated. It's hard to tell some
times where social life stops
and business life begins.
Good manners are as impor-
tant in an office as in a
drawing room-perhaps even
more so. since ones living
may depend on 1t.
The woman who feels that
her exalted position as the
boss secretary gives her the
right to be snippy and die
tatorial to h er fellow en-
ployes, and downright rude
to callers, will find to her
sorrow, that such tactics do
not pay in the long run. Only
by careful attention to the
niceties, the little trifles" of
courteous behavior, can she
possibly hope to advance in
the business world.
Naturally, the first respon-
sibility of the secretary is to
SHIELD her boss from unnec-
essary Interruptions. 1t is, of
course, business efficiency to
ask the name of the person
who is calling upon him, but
1t is not necessary to put the
client through a rude inter-
rosation. A gracious APP
pfoach, such as "Mr. Smith
Is tied up right now. / Won
der If l could be of help to
you" is certainly more cour-
teous than the barked Hes
busy now, what do you want?"
Putting people at ease,
whether they be co-workers
OF, clients, is part of a secre-
tary's job. Office efficiency
can be EXCHANGED two-fold If
she is cheerful, gracious and
understanding with her fell
low employees. Not only does
the office routine run more
smoothly. but also the boss is
protected from petty annoy
ances caused by dissatisfied
personnel.
The matter of personal ap-
pearance is of paramount i'm
portance to the priv e secre-
tary. Peekaboo blouses, skim
tight sweaters or fluffy after
noon gowns do not befit her
position. She should dress
with her boss position in
mind. After all, clients see
her as his representative.
A frivolous looking secre-
tary who arrives for work
dressed for the cocktail hour
can do her boss more harm
than she realizes. Every eff
fort should be made to dress
in a smart, well groomed
manner. Let simplicity be the
keynote. Guard against over
doing the makeup or hairdo.
Appearing with a face better
suited to a clown, and a hair
do appropriate for the Elost
formal evening affair, will
definitely not enhanC ones
chances of advancement.

gro leader has testified in a
rape trial here that only 1S1 Ne

10000 prospective jurors on the
1852 Mobile jury roll.
j. L. LeFlore made the state
ment during the second trial Of
Willie Seals, %, in connection
with the 1858 rape of a young
white woman in Prichard.
His attorneys are attempting
to quash the indictment on
grounds that Negroes are SySte-

LeFlore said on the 1928

found 347 Negros among the
more than 1O,OOO names listed.
An original conviction of Seals
