Rowing Around
The Hill City
BY Rosalie Hopkins

Tuesday night of last week
(New Years. found us along
with a hundred others in the
beautiful and spacious home
of Mrs. Josephine Buck on
Highway 80 East, enjoying the
pleasures and hospitality of
the popular Paramount Clubs
Christmas Party This
group of civic and social
minded women, headed by
Mrs. Henry Higgins, left moth
ing undone to make this par
ty one long to be remember
led Winner of the door
prize, lovely Occasional
chair was Mr.. Raymond Boil
ton Guests came from
Tallulah, La, Chicago and of
course from thruout the Hill
City. Everybody had fun.
Wednesday night, January
2, we attended the meeting
of the Officers Club of Eu-
reka Temple, hostessed by
The Mississippi enterprise., 1963-01-12

The trite old phrase, "It's
an ill wind that blows no
good" has proven itself true
once again. On Wednesday
afternoon, December 19, the
clipper little polio victim,
Roxi Ann Clark, was taken to
Mercy Hospital for a routine
check-up. How disappointed
she was when the physician
ordered that she remain for
a few days for further tests.
This was just the chance
that her classmates had been
waiting for, and they seized
their opportunity with happy
Christmas hearts. First, they
made arrangements with the
hospital for the secret remov-
al of Roxi's wheelchair.
After a thorough cleaning
and scrubbing, the boys found
that one of the wheels was
beyond their ability to repair.
Mrs. Granger Ray then took
the boys and their Homeroom
teacher, Sr. James, of the
Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters
of Techny, Illinois, to search
for the proper repairman.
They finally ended up at the
home of Mr.. Charlie Bell, a
father of one of Roxi's class
mates, who did a wonderful
job in repairing and greasing
the squeaking, wobbly wheels.
The next set of Christmas
Brownies appeared in the
persons of Mr.. Will Jones, up
holsterer, and his workmen.
Although the men already
had a heavy schedule of
Christmas rush orders to fin
ish, they graciously took on
the task of preparing a new
plastic back for Roxi's Christ
mas present.
Back to the school drove

st. Mary's Seniors and Ju-
|niors toured the Vicksburg
Water Pumping Plant. This
educational trip climaxed a
study unit on water, and it
gave the students an opportu-
nifty to actually see the pro-
cess of chemical purification
|of their drinking water.

the group. The boys were
now ready to spray on two
coats of aluminium paint. The
sparkly, shiny New Look
pleased everyone.
The boys then set their ar
tistic talents to the production
of a bright red, green and
gold scroll which would gay
ly blare out the message in
their hearts, Merry Christ
mas, Roxi" They topped off
their unique gift with a huge,
glaring-red bow. They thought
that they were all set, but
another surprise still awaited.
Mr.. Vincent Schaff, local
business man, having heard of
Roxi, decided that his Christ
mas treat would be a portable
Smith Corona typewriter.
Since it was sent to St. Mary's
School before the group visit
ed the hospital, the new type
writer was placed on the seat
of the wheelchair.
Santa's fairies still weren't
finished. Not knowing of Mr..
Schaff's intentions, Louise
Vince was conducting a raf-
file hoping to be able to pur-
chase Roxi a typewriter for
Christmas. The amount of
money collected will now be
used to finance a specially de-
signed and built table that
will slide over the wheelchair.
The most fun was yet to
come a- presenting the gifts
to Roxi. Sister Berchmans,
S.Sp.S., Principal, Sr. James,
Mrs. Ray and the boys, Rob-
ert Bingham, Harold White,
George Reed and Lawrence
Steed hurried to the hospital.
The nurses on second floor
informed them that the We'll
fare worker in charge of
Roxi's case had just wheeled
her out in a hospital chair.
The boys then fleet-footed it
to the front entrance where
they caught the two just as
they were entering the car.
A much-mystified little girl
was again wheeled to the sec
ond floor.
The thrilling look of sur
prise and joy that spread over
Roxi's face was ample reward
for all concerned. While be-
ing transferred to her new
1853 Model" Gas the boys dub
bed it,, one could't help mus
ing that maybe an unexpected
stay in the hospital wasn't so
bad after all.

Billy Graham Film
 To Be Shown at Nome School Wednesday Night

Evangelist Billy Graham's new est feature-length dramatic film, Shadow of the Boomerang" will have its Nome showing, Wednes- day, March 20, at the Multipurpose Room of the Nome School at 7:30 pm.
 Starring vivacious Georgia Lee and television's Buffalo Bill Jr., Dick Jones, Shadow of the Boomerang" is an outdoor action picture with all of the excitement and breath-taking scope of the land down under" Setting for the screen drama is Australia's "outback," the continents vast in- terior region where some of the worlds largest cattle stations are located.
 The two young Americans head an all-Australian supporting cast, playing brother and sister roles in a turbulent story of homestead life. Their arrival in Australia to man. age newly acquired family hold ings, plunges the couple into strange surroundings and situa- tions with which they find it diff ficult to cope. The brother is i'm mature and impetuous, slow to ac- cept Australian ways. His sister is much more democratic, readily accepted by her friends with whom she joins in an attempt to install understanding and tolerance in her brother.

US. House Okehs Record $15 Billion
 To Military Buying

WASHINGTON R - The House passed the biggest military buying bill in history - a $15.8-billion authorization for aircraft, missiles and ships.
 The measure goes beyond the administrations wishes and those of Republicans bent on cutting the budget.
 The $3637 million tackled on by the Armed Services Committee to build an extra pair of RS-7O reconnaissance strike planes touch ed off most of the controversy before the bill was passed Wednes- day on a 374-33 roll call vote.
 Secretary of Defense Robert s. McNamara doesn't want to build any more than the three RS-70s already authorized, but in a sepa- rate vote on the issues the House backed the committee 236 to 179. This puts the RS-70 controversy up to the Senate, which gets the bill now.
 Rep. Thomas Curtis, R-MoO, sponsored a COP bid for an across the-board slash in defense author iZations. Curtis sought 5 per cent reduction in each procurement au- thorization, and a 1212 per cent cut in the research and develop ment category.
 His motion was defeated on 268 to 149 roll call, largely along party lines.
 Republicans have said President Kennedy's $98.8-billion budget can be slashed by $5 billion to $15 billion.
 The procurement bill authorizes purchase of 5000 aircraft, about 60,O00 missiles and 43 new naval ships. It also authorizes conver- sion work to modernize 35 old ships.

McNanara Lashes Out at Critics

WASHINGTON LR - Secretary of Defense McNamara lashed out Wednesday at critics, who charged he acts like a dictator, accusing one such complainant of backing irresponsible" action.
 Saying it is his job to make the tough decisions on defense policy, McNamara told the Advertising Council, in a response to criticism by Rep. Leslie Arends, R-Ill.:
 "The man who made that attack is the ranking minority member of the committee that added S1.1 bill lion to the defense budget. l don't think it is right when we have a man to support an irresponsible action in adding over billion dol lars to the budget that is not need ed and then criticize the reSponsl- ble official who took out the billion"
 McNamara said it is true in a sense" that he has acted as a dictator
 "The budget submitted by the Chiefs of Staff and service secre- taries totaled $67 billion," he said. "I took S14 billion out of that"
 This comment drew loud ap- plause from the audience of buSi- neSSmen.
 McNamara continued, If 1 don't do it who's going to? I shouldn't turn over all the tough problems to the President. I turn over enough already"
 In response to question about Republican predictions they will cut the defense budget by $3 bil- lion, McNamara said that since Republican Arends has joined in adding S1.1 billion to the budget "now they've got to cut $4 billion"
 McNamara did not expand on the matter in his appearance be- fore the advertising group.
 In a statement as the House opened debate on a $15.8 billion military buying bill Tuesday, Ar. ends had accused McNamara O trying to take over congressiona responsibilities by squelching tn RS70 aircraft program.

Plan to Stock Polar Bear At MendenhaIl Glacier
 Given the Deep Six"

JUNEAU R - A concurrent re- solution asking that polar bear cubs be introduced to the Menden- hall Glacier area near Juneau brought it's four authors in for some ribbing in the Senate yes terday, before it was given the deep six.
 When the resolution came up for consideration, Sen. Harold Hansen offered an amendment which would have substituted the names of the four authors for the words Polar Bear Cubs" throughout the resolution.
 Senate President Frank Pera- trovich, with a wide smile on his face, ignored the amendment and asked for debate on passage.
 Sen. Yule Kilcher told the Sen ate that after watching the Ice Bloc in action, I'm a little leery of Greeks bearing gifts"
 Sen. w. o. Smith said he felt that the people of the Juneau area should be permitted to vote on the matter.
 Hansen said that mot too many months ago a boy was mauled by a bear in this same general area and as a result is now blind.
 q think the resolution is just about as facetious as the amend ment I offered"
 Sen. Eben Hopson, who intro duced the bill along with Demo- cratic Sens. Lester Bronson, Pete Walsh and Neal Foster, commented that the four authors felt sincerely that such a move would be good from the tourist standpoint.
 There is no place a tourist can see live polar bear in Alaska at the present time" Hopson said, except those who come here to hunt the animals"
 Foster told the Senate the reso- lution was offered in good faith but Sen. John Coghin, a member of the Senate Finance Committe, said he feared it might open tn door to added state expenses.
 'This could be just the start o a state zoo, if we pass it." Coghil said.
 The resolution was eventually turned down on voice vote.
