If you have. ever been to town shopping on Saturday afternoon you know what Sante Fe looks like, except that the shoppers are a different race, Indians. So the delegation of Baptist Mississippi who are attending drone week long Woman's Missionary Union meet here at Glorieta found. After attending innumerable conferences on W. M.

U. problems Saturday morning we arranged with the dining hall to pack us sack lunches of sandwiches and fruit, which we ate enroute; we rented two cars and left. The twelve ladies had as their destination the prehistoric cliff dwellings of Pueblo Indians in the Frijole Canyon near Los Alamos, N. M. Among those making the trip were Miss Eleanor Bridges and J.

They were wonderful subjects of our color-film cameras in their brightly colored costumes, blankets and shoes.

On our return to camp we heard Dr. and Mrs.

After the services the staff of the conference, some sixty of them, shook hands with the fifteen hundred of us. As we filed through we spoke briefly to each of them and they seemed genuinely interested in us and our small raea of work at home. Sunday morning, even as Baptists throughout the world, we rose late, and more leisurely than other days, dressed and then went to Sunday School.

With missionaries leading the various classes we got new insight into the teaching arm of the church program.

Thompson Suggests Fees For Garbage By ED GOINS I Mayor Allen Thompson posed the possibility Tuesday that the city start charging for collection of garbage in commercial areas. At the same time, Commissioner Lake Campbell said the city will insist that Jackson residents remove their garbage cans from the streets. In too many cases, he stated, the cans are permanent fixtures on curbs. Both matters came up as the City Council went into the third day of paring expenditures in the various departments in an effort to stay within the 1956-57 budget. Cutting was held to a minimum Tuesday, however, as the mayor and commissioners conferred with transportation coordinator A.

L. Smith, tax collector J. C. Speed, and sanitation department head Hugh Milsted. Turning to the Sanitation Department during the afternoon session, the mayor and commissioner praised Milsted and cooperating department heads for their work in clearing debris piled up by fringe winds from Hurricane Audrey.

Milsted reported that most of debris has been en removed although some still remains in backyards and cannot be collected by his department. Commissioner Campbell used the occasion to point out that many residents are not complying with city ordinances requiring the removal of garbage cans the streets. "We are going to stop that," said, adding that it would be done by an educational campaign if possible and by strict enforcement of the ordinances if necessary. Mayor Thompson pointed out that "in almost every progressive city, people have to pay to have their garbage picked up." "We are going to have to get money to run the city," he added. "We are not considering charging for home pickup, but I think we might consider charging in commercial areas." He suggested that Milstead confer with Commissioner Campbell toward that possibility.

"These things have to be paid for," he stated, "either by taxes or by the people who get the services." Mayor Thompson praised Smith's work in connection with solving problems concerning mass transportation, Referring to the city's past feuds with Jackson City Lines, the mayor stated that "before Mr. Smith came with us, we didn't anything but trouble I would pay his salary myself if necessary." He also commended Speed for his efficient collection of taxes, stating that "I don't know what we would do without you."
