The Detroit Pistons, old

Jackson Plant
Sets Expansion

YAZoO CITY (Special)-First
Mississippi Corp. located in.
jackson, announced plans to ex-
pand the production capa-
city Of Southwestern Nitrochem-
ical Corp.
Owen Cooper, chairman Of the
board Of First Mississippi, stat
ed that "Nitrochem". which
presently produces 5000 tons
per year of anhydrous ammonia
at its Chandler, Ariz. location
for use as a nitrogen fertilizer
In the southwestern agricultural
market, will increase its pro-
duction capacity approximately
IS per cent to 1900 tons per
year.
Construction win start at the
plant site In the spring, but
completion will have to wait
until the end of the fertilizer sea-
son, about August, since the en-
tire present production capac-
ity of the plant is completely
sold out this season and it is
therefore impossible to shut the
plant down for the thirty-day
period required to make the
necessary changes and tie-ins
to achieve the increased capa-
city.
Southwestern NitrochemicaI
Corp. was formed in 1859 by
First Mississippi Corporation
and Southwestern A~grochemicaI
Corp, q fertilizer manufacturer
end distributor of Chandler, Ari-
IONA. Each company owns fiji
ty percent of the common stock
of ''Nitrochem'', which in turn
contracted for the construction
of a 21,000 tons per year an
hydrouS ammonia plant t
went into production in til e
Spring Of 1860.
Rapidly expanding sales COM
rnit1nents demanded an expan-
sion Of capacity in 1862 and
the present expansion for 1864
will mean a total production ca
pacity twice the original plant
design in four years Of opera
ton.
First Mississippi has invested
approximately $500, 900 in South
western Nitrochemical Corp. and
IS a result of last years opera
lions Of "Nitrochem", received
dividends amounting to s156,0O0
on its investment.
Cooper stated that profits of

H9nnths Of this fiscal year
through October were running
about $t00,ooO ahead Of last Il
year and that the expansion
would be financed through
Of additional long-term
first mortgage bonds and COR
pcrate cash fow 50 that there
would be no effect upon an
dividends for the cur
rent year.
Furthermore. Cooper advised
&at the expansion should ap-
prcximately double current net
credits within two years unless

Juniors inability TO write ha.
been much assayed and assail
ed In recent years.
Usually the blame for his no
being able to put one word at
ter another in a way that make,
sense is laid at the doorstep o
the high school - where a grea'
deal OF reform In English
teaching Is now taking place.
But recently Albert r. Kitz
haber, professor of English anc
director of the University oi
Oregon's Curriculum Study Cen,
ter, was asked by the Carnegie
Corporation to look in another
direction: at college freshman
English courses.
And what Professor Kitzhab,
er found In a survey Of these
courses at 95 public and private
colleges and universities left a
great deal to be desired, he
says.
Kitzhaber, in his newiy-pub.
lished book, Themes, Theories
and Therapy: The Teaching Of
Writing In College" makes il
clear very early that he offers
no cureall, no shortcut to writ
ing skill.
There can be no quick anc
painless way to development o.
a well-stocked mind, disciplined
intelligence, and discriminating
taste and fluency In the Ian
guage," he writes
"The habit Of good writing
like the habit Of ethical conduct
Is Of slow growth; it is an as,
pect of a persons general In
tellectual development and can
not be greatly fastened apart
from that development"
This Is not to say, however
that improvements in writing in,
struction cannot be made, the
educator quickly adds, and his
book Is devoted largely to the
thesis that Improvements a
necessary and. although diff.
cult, are not impossible.
Discussing college freshman
English courses in general, Kitz-
haber finds three main weak,
nesses running through them:
]. Confusion in purpose, con-
tent and organization.
2. Inexpert teaching.
3. Poor textbooks.
On the first Of these points,
he says, "Most Of the confusion
stems from differing notions oil
how writing ought to be taught.
The most diverse content may
be dumped into the course on
the grounds that 1t will help the
student learn to write better IS
On the second of these points,
inexpert teaching, Kitzhaber
notes that In large universities
the freshman English course Is
commonly assigned to graduate
students who teach part-t ! m e
while working toward an ad-
vanced degree or to junior IN
structors just out Of graduate
school.
Some Of these teachers are
enthusiastic. experienced, ex-
pert" he says. "but more are
informed on what they are sup
posed to teach. particularly II
language and composition"
But the main reason for In,
adequate teaching Is not SC
much inexperience and indiffer'
ence as It Is lack Of profes.
sional preparation, Kitzhaber
says.

ments seldom require the future
English teacher to take courses
that would give him q genuine
professional competence In
teaching either language or com
position" he says.
Literature drives out less
glamorous subject matter and
composition is either forgotten
or taught incidentally and grud-
gingly. The principles OF good
writing may surely be deduced
from examples Of the best writ
ing, but most English teachers
find 1t more exciting to trace
symbols and identify archetypal
patterns than to make q sys-
tematic rhetorical analysis of
an essay to reveal its struc-
ture."
In regard to textbooks, the
Oregon educator found that few
present even a small part OF
the new knowledge about
language that, In his ord s.
"has revolutionized the study of
1t in the last several decades"
And as for books Of readings,
he says, ''the overwhelming ma
jority Of them are cut-and-paste
affairs that can Ill sustain al
course Of true college grade"
The author puts forward mo-
fewer than IL recommendations
for improving college freshman
English courses. Among them
are:
l. Drop elementary instruction
In grammar, usage and mech
anics, mot a proper activity for
college classroom" or dispose
such to q non-credit course.
.. Devote equal attention TO
logic, language, and rhetoric.
probably in that order, with
constant practice In writing.
3. Ideally, require two years
Of English with the second year
devoted to literature. Where one
year is required, devote half
of it to logic, rhetoric and some
language study and the other
half to literature.
Professor Kitzhaber urges
that students be pressured tol
write well throughout theirI
years in college. This PRESSURE
should also be applied by teach
ers Of subjects other than Eng
Hsh. he adds.
The educator Ia q number oil
instances In his book makesI
two other points which he con-
siders important.
One is that we must do away
with the common notion that
merely correct writing Is good
writing. The other Is that poor
writing should be penalized just
as poor thinking Is penalized.
