"Five members of the executive board think one way, four think another and three have been disqualified. We can't agree on anything, even on calling a meeting."

First harbinger of costs comes today as the Mississippi Pre.s Association announces its general election campaign announcement program for all candidates for statewide office only.

In order to get your name as candidate, in the political announcement column of every member sheet, which includes dailies and weeklies, a fee of $300 is asked. The money goes to the Mississippi Press Association Fund, according to Pres. Henry Harris, editor of the West Point Times-Leader. Only the candidate's name will be carried in the announcement column, nothing more. As we understand now.

the newspapers are being asked to cooperate 100 percent as in the past. Later, after all have signed up, the candidates will be contacted as they announce. Remember, this applies only to state office candidates, and docs not apply to district, county or local races. THE LADIES Mrs. Lovie Gore, Sturgis, representative from Oktibbeha county and naional Democraic executive committee-woman, is running for the senate from Oktibbeha and Choctaw counties, comprising the 23rd district, a post held by Sen.

Freeman Erwin, of Ackerman. Here a couple of days ago on business, she told us that she was expecting opposition and is planning a vigorous campaign for election. "A lot of my constituents suggested that I stay in the house of representatives as I probably would have no opponent there, but more insisted that I run for the upper house," she said. Mrs. Gore tells us that she has not heard from Miss Betty Jane Long, the other woman house member, in some time and doesn't know if Miss Long will seek reelection or not.

In the senate, Mrs. Orene Fa-rese cannot seek reelection since her post goes to another county under "gentlemen's" agreement, but we learn that she is running for floater representative from her county. Her husband, John Farese, is seeking re-election to the lower house from Benton county. Mrs. Gore further tells us that she has not heard whether Mrs.

Inflation is caused by a lot of things. But one of the most important is rising labor costs without a corresponding increase in the nation's productive efficiency. The reason 75 percent or more of the cost of what you buy is for labor. It's kind of a chain reaction. With1 each round of wage and price increases, our dollar loses another chunk of purchasing power.

If things keep on this way another twenty years-or ten-or five-what will happen to your savings, your insurance, Some people think they en joy a little inflation-at least temporarily when they get a few more dollars in pay. For a while they have more dollars to spend and everything is rosy. But, too soon, comes the day when rising costs force prices up so high people don't have enough dollars to go around.
