TIP-OFF Most people use different expressions, When describing both sadness and fun; But the word preferred byMilady Is what you suspect, sir, the last one. Aline Powers Fisher ALL HE WANTS When our dependable mail carrier, ROMAN J. FILIPPIN, was asked what he wants for Christmas, his prompt reply was "January." That's quite understandable, for the load has been heavy these pre-Christmas days. The Jackson postoffice and its staff, both in the office and in the field, has done well at a big job. But Postmaster P.

M. CATCHINGS is concerned about parcel post section and the flood of business it has had, without adequate quarters in which to handle it. Maybe by another year Jackson can get an addition to the parcel post storage area. IT NEVER FAILS An appreciated Christmas greeting from Dr. JOHN P.

One opens the fold and in bold red type the answer screams at you, "Get To ALL THEY WROTE From the current issue of the always interesting monthly Advance of the Mississippi Education Association, these quotations from student test papers: "The cause of the American Revolution was taxation without "Natural immunity is being able to catch a disease without the help of a state of Georiga was founded by people who had been executed" of father- "My daddy is a civil "The important thing Teddy Roosevelt did was to kill a bull prevent smallpox" Washton married Martha Custard and lived at Mount Vernin" "It used to be thought that we had 48 states in America.

r. 1: FLORAL COMPANY, INC. Phone FL 5-2471 LAMAR al AMITE since 1887 HOUSE Continued from Page 1A calling for a $4,750,000 appropriation, goes for teachers salary increases, Junkin recalled that campaign promises had been made to teachers and old people, but, "promises were made to the taxpayers too, and, we have an obligation to them." Junkin then turned the bill over to his vice chairman, Rep. Edgar Stephens, Union, who echoed the chairman observances, declaring "I subscribe fully to what Mr. Junkin has said, but notwithstanding, we have passed an enabling act increasing teachers' salaries $325 a year and we must provide the money." Immediately, Rep.

John Holleman, Lowndes, secured passage of an amendment under which school districts "cannot receive state funds if local subscriptions are lowered." "We have seen too many occasions where the state has increased pay only to find the local boards reducing their participation accordingly, so that the teachers got no raise. Then, they blamed the state," Holleman said. "'We want to make sure the teachers get this raise." PENSIONS No appropriation was approved for increasing old age pensions to a maximum of $50 monthly, but Rep. Thompson Pound, Pontotoc, immediately introduced an appropriation bill for $1,000,000 to pay for such hikes approved in another public welfare enabling act passed earlier. He hopes to see this appropriation approved before the legislature expectedly adjourns sine die, Friday.

The lower assembly, in morning session Thursday, approved a resolution sponsored by Rep. C. B. Newman, of Issaquena, which would create a nine-man study committee of representatives and senators to frame a plan for sheriffs succession in office. Under the plan, there would be five representatives and four senators, who would report to the legislature in February.

It is expected that a session will be called after the voters ballot on a reapportionment plan Feb. 6, of a 122-member house and 52-man senate. Members of the exective committee of the Mississippi Sheriffs Association, who have been watching legislative moves all week, expressed disappointment that no action is being taken on implementing a constitutional amendment at this session, but said they were resigned to the study committee plan "as the best we can get." The House Thursday afternoon also approved an appropriation of $155,300 for salary raises for vocational teachers, placing them on the same pay scales as common school teachers. Also approved was a bill extending benefits to children hospitalized for an extended period. The House tabled motions to reconsider five senate bills dealing with publication of charters.

Two similar measures had passed over to the senate for concurrence without being held for reconsideration. Mrs. Ivy Dies, Rites Friday BRUCE Mrs. Verlon Clements Ivy, 35, of Route 2, Bruce died at noon Thursday at her home after suffering a heart attack. She was a native of Calhoun County.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church with burial in Bruce Cemetery. She is survived by her husband, L. T.

Ivy; one daughter, Virginia Lee, 5 months; her mother, Mrs. W. H. Clements; one brother, Willie Ray Clements; and one sister, Mrs. Vester Tims, all of Bruce, Route 1.

The body will be at her residence until time for services. Cook Funeral Home of Bruce will be in charge. PUBLIC WELFARE A bill to increase old age pensions up to a maximum of $50 monthly, was faring well in the Mississippi House of Representatives as these two Madison County law-makers, Milton Case (left) and P. L. Hughes, discussed passage this week.

(Photo by Kimble Sutherland). Vincent Is Industrial Agent For State Group NEWTON Aubrey E. Gatlin, executive director of the MidMississippi Development District, announced Wednesday that the Board of Directors, in recess meeting at Coastal Plain Branch Experiment Station, Newton, employed W. Arno Vincent as industrial representative for the organization, effective Jan. 1, 1963.

Vincent, former president of East Central Junior College, Decatur, with his family lives at his farm home in the Scanlan Community, north of Decatur. Prior to nine years as president of ECJC, Mr. Vincent was dean of men there for seven years. He became mathematics instructor at EC in 1947, and later was football coach, as well as basketball. In earlier years Mr.

Vincent taught mathematics at Picayune and Pass Christian. He was an athletic scholarship student at ECJC and made an outstanding record there, as well PHILLIPS Continued from Page 1A Jackson, and that Goldwater had told him "it was the right thing to do if I'm a conservative." Phillips said the "only real problem" faced by Republicans "is the need for more participation by conservative people." He said the state party "will have to convince Mississippians it would be best for us to vote Republican." He said Mississippians "are conservatives, and although some of them may not like the label, the fact is that the Republican Party is the party of conservatives." Phillips said he would not lead a Republican ticket in the election, that "it would not be a good idea." But, he added, "I understand several legislators may run on the Republican ticket next time." KENNEDY He said he actually severed relations with the Democratic Party "the day John Kennedy was nominated." "If Mississippi elects a Democratic governor next year," he said, "that gentleman, regardless of his political philosophy must lead a delegation to the Democratic National Convention in 1964, sit behind a post, and watch the Attorney General arrange the re-nomination of John Kennedy for President of the United States." "Mississippi can derive no benefits from this," he said. Phillips said the Republican Party "will offer to the people of Mississippi a program of genuine conservatism and local responsibility." "For more than a hundred years," he said, "we have followed, with almost blind loyalty, the National Democratic Party, and Two Society Pins Are Returned To Ole Miss UNIVERSITY Two pins worn by members of a literary society at the University of Mississippi more than 100 years ago are now part of an historic collection in the University's library. The solid gold triangle-shaped pins belonged to two early members of the now non-existent Phi Sigma Society. One pin was donated by Miss Sara Davidson of Dallas, Texas and the other by Mrs.

Frances V. Avery of Vaiden. The pins came to be a part of the library's Mississippi Room collection result of inquiries into their identity by both Miss Davidson and Mrs. Avery. The inquiries came almost simultaniously.

The pins date back to 1948. The Davidson pin belonged to Miss Davidson's grandfather, Edwin Chaffin Davidson. The late Mr. Davidson is believed to be a relative of the University's present comptroller, Ed Davidson. Thomas Benjamin Kennedy, Mrs.

Avery's grandfather, wore the other pin when he attended school at Ole Miss in 1857. The Phi Sigma Society was organized during the University's first academic session. According to the Society's minute books, it was organized in 1848 as a "learned society" first called Phi Beta SENATE Continued from Page 1A gage in such projects prior to July 1, 1962. 4. Refused immediate consideration of a House-passed resolution to set up a study committee to review recess, feasibility of separating the offices of sheriff and tax collector and allowing both officials to succeed themselves in office.

SURVIVE ATTACKS Both the teacher pay and welfare increases survived strong attacks from Senate fiscal leaders who argued, that the state cannot support such raises without additional taxation to finance them. Sen. Ellis Bodron of Vicksburg, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said passage of the measures without additional taxation would completely destroy the state's surplus revenue. "The state is already operating on its Bodron said, "and if spending countinues to exceed revenue at the same rate as it is now, those savings will be exhausted in the near future." He said the next administration is going to be faced with the necessity of levying an additional $40 million in taxes unless state's fiscal situation improves drastically. It is estimated the teacher pay bill, calling for a maximum increase of $325 in the base pay of some teachers, would cost about $4,750,000.

It will cost an estimated $1 million to finance welfare payment hikes for the elderly and disabled. THREE MEASURES Bodron had the three measures held on motion to reconsider, but admitted that "I know the bills will be adopted by the Senate and the House." Although the House has adopted an appropriation bill to finance teacher pay increases, neither house has taken action on appropriation bills for the welfare increases. The House passed bill authorizing a recess study committee to determine the feasibility of separating the offices of sheriff and tax collector was referred to the Senate Rules Committee after senators voted 16-14 against immediate consideration of the proposal. The bill is expected to appear on the Senate floor again Friday to face strong opposition. Lt.

Gov. Paul Johnson urged the Senate to take action on the sheriff bill during the current session. "The people of the state have said they want the Johnson declared, "and I feel it is the obligation of the Legislature to go as far as it can in this matter." OPPOSE STUDY But several senators said they opposed the study committee or any other action on the proposal, which would allow sheriffs to succeed themselves in office. Sen. W.

M. Jones of Brookhaven said, "Our sheriffs have suddenly become lily white and revealed their earnings. But none have sworn that their financial statements are true as required by law." He urged the Senate to defer action on the matter until the next regular session and advised sheriffs to "become honest" and start filing an annual report of earnings with the Secretary of State. One of the major controversies over the sheriff bill has been the refusal of most sheriff's in past years to comply with the law requiring the annual income reports. Following the Thursday session, one Senator said many people who voted for the separation of sheriff and tax collector "now realize they made a mistake and have told their legislators to vote against it." OTHER ACTION In other action Thursday the Senate: -Passed a bill which would allow Hinds County and Jackson to contribute $1,400,000 to the State Highway Commission for construction of a bridge across the Pearl River.

Hinds County would contribute $400,000 and Jackson $1 million. Another $1,400,000 would be contributed by the state. -Adopted a resolution mommending Sen. James Eastland for his "service and prompt action in behalf of Mississippi' during the Ole Miss racial troubles. -Approved a resolution memorializing the Mississippi Congressional Delegation to oppose a proposed tax on diesel fuel used on inland waterways.

-Adopted a resolution already adopted by the House refusing to ratify an amendment to the U. S. Constitution abolishing poll tax requirement in all national elections. No action was taken on a resolution prepared by Sen. Bill Mitts of Enterprise requesting the governor to abolish the state sales tax.

The first operated outside Jackson County, the office will be headed by William D. Cavenaugh Associates, 'at 15 East 40th New York City.

Baptist church in Dallas. The new Baptist program provides for associates to augment the mission program by virtue of special skills. The Rebers are among the first appointees under the plan. Since ce their work will be primarily with English-speaking people, the Rebers will not be required to attend a language school mandatory for most missionaries. Formal seminary training is likewise waived for the associates.

Reber has been in government service for more than 22 years. He will leave his present job in June.

Vincent associated with the development program, and, with personnel, they will be able to do a better selling job.

Democrats and the Kennedy administration, he said, have "written off Mississippi and, in fact, will continue to use Mississippi as a whipping boy in order to attract the liberal voter of the North and Northeast." GOVERNOR "If I am accorded the nomination, I will run for governor on the Republican ticket.

If not, I will support the Republican nominee," he said. Phillips would not speculate whom he might face as the Democratic nominee. Political rumors suggest Lt. Gov. Paul Johnson, former Gov.

J. P. Coleman, and Clarksdale attorney Charles Sullivan will be among those seeking the Democratic nomination. Phillips said a Republican primary would be necessary "if more than one candidate announces." He joked with newsmen when revealing that his brother would not run for office, saying "We're not interested in a Phillips dynasty." Accompanying Phillips at the conference were his wife, the former Margaret James of Drew; his brother Hal; and several of his neighbors. The Phillipses have two sons, Rubel 5, and Jim, 4.

Phillips said he had not talked with Gov. Ross Barnett about the decision.

He also revealed that he had voted for the pledged elector ticket in the 1960 Presidential election. Toll Was Record OTTAWA (AP) An American vessel carrying 14,000 tons of steel from Chicago to Karachi, Pakistan, paid a record toll of $13,500 when it passed through the St. Lawrence Seaway in November, officials report. UNIVERSITY Mississippi has made great strides in zation within the past twenty years but agriculture is still a major part of the state's economy. This is revealed by Nolan Waller in the current issue of Mississippi's Business, published by the Universites of and Mississippi's Economic Bureau Research.

Mr. Waller is Economic Research Analyst of the Bureau. Writing on "Farming in Mississippi's Economy" Mr. Waller notes that, in 1960, North and South Dakota were the only states in the union exceeding Mississippi in the proportion of total population living on farms. Comparing agricultural employment in Mississippi with other states in 1960, in 1950 and in 1940, Mr.

Waller points out that Mississippi's agricultural employment as a percentage of total employment was higher than in the Southeast and surrounding states for each of the years in question. In the year 1960, farm income was 11.6 6 per cent of total Mississippi personal income. But "this is only part of the income created by farming and farm dependent services and states Mr. Waller. "This can be better Weygand Appears PARIS (AP) Gen.

Maxime Weygand, the French commander who failed to stem the Nazi tide in merged briefly from retirement this week as a character witness at a military trial and appeared in fairly good health. He will be 96 on Jan. 21. understood when it is realized that in 1960, gross income of Missississippi's farmers was approximately $690 million." In all states of this region during 1950-1960 personal income from farming declined both in amount and as a percentage of total personal income. But in Mississippi, farm population, farm employment, and farm income represent larger proportions of the total income than they do is most neighboring states.

There is insufficient civdence to determine whether or not this organization was any relation to today's Phi Beta Kappa Society. The Phi Sigma minute books are also a part of the collection. In 1849, the minute books tell of the Phi Beta Kappa Society changing its name to Phi Sigma. No reason was given for the change. The motto of the Society was a Latin phrase, a liberal translation of which would read "the cause lies hidden but the strength is most evident." The first letters of each of the Latin words of the motto appear on the pin.

While Phi Sigma was adopted as a public name for the Society, the internal name adopted by the group was meaning lovers of distinction. A crown on the pin probably signifies this meaning. The purpose of the Society was excellence in things literary, both contemporary and ancient, and debate was a part of each of its meetings. In 1891, Phi Sigma and Hermenean Literary, Society published the "University of Mississippi Magazine." The Society was active on the Ole Miss campus for nearly a century. It is believed to have disbanded around 1945.
