Clarion: Ledget Monday, MISSISSIPPI NOTEBOOK By TOM ETHRIDGE February 25, 1963 Monday Morning Rise And Shine! WAY WE HEARD IT: The practical dreamer gets up and hustles when the alarm clock goes off. A clear conscience is a soft pillow. To live is to fight. There is no truce in the Battle of Life. If you can't make ends meet, maybe you are trying to cover too much territory.

A woman has reached midcle age when shoes pinch her more than her man does. Confucius say: He who take One For Road need cop for chaser. Vacations date back to Co, lumbus, who started the fad of taking a trip on borrowed money. A good way to save face is to keep the lower half of it shut. A FRIEND tells us that the plumbing at his house froze 1 up this past December and since that time we have had 11 hard freezes here in Jackson.

Accepting count as correct, we believe this is some sort of record in the way of mercury-meandering hereabouts. Even though official figures may argue, this seems to be the most rugged winter ye scripe has ever experienced in our 21 years (plus) on earth. Brrr! QUESTION raised by Oliver Emmerich of the McComb Enterprise-Journal: "Is it true that the American goal is leisure, and that the Russian goal is supremacy?" Small Talk Over The Coffee Cups- NOTICE reportedly circulated in an office memo of a large corporation: "Executives having no secretaries of their own should take advantage of the girls i in our stenographic pool." THOMAS MORROW reports this sign seen on the back of a cattle trailer truck: "Homer Stedley-For Whom The Bull HERB LYON tells of this sign in a woman's shop at a seaside resort: "Latest Beach Wear -Whether You Slink or Swim." THE TEXAS POLL, a private survey agency, has 'reported that most Texans disliked President Kennedy's use of federal troops at the University of Mississippi. The showed 47 per cent of survey Texans interviewed disapproving the action, 42 per approving the other 11 per cent having no definite opinion. Among Anglo-Americans, the percentage was 58 per ent against the use of troops at Ole Miss and 33 per cent for.

However, Negroes liked JFK's action 66 to 21 per cent, with 13 per cent undecided. Kennedy's use of troops was even more popular among Latin Americans, with 72 per cent armed force and disagreeapproving, ment. Which brings on more talk. CLAYTON RAND'S Dixie Guide at Gulfport has remarked: "Governor Ross Barnett took a brief trip to South America not too long ago and got all excited about setting up a department of Latin American affairs and made our good (Gulfport) neighbor, David Cottrell ambassador to those Republics. "What Mississippi should be doing is cultivating South Africa," Friend Rand suggests.

"It is a completely segregated Republic, and such an alliance with Mississippi makes Odds And Ends, Noted And Quoted IF YOU out-fumble your friends for the lunch checks, it's known as "Shellout Falter." CATTLEMEN, throw away your rabbit's foot you may have a better good luck charm in your pasture, Farm Journal advises: A Montgomery, Alabama slaughtering plant is shipping cattle gallstones to Japan, where they are sold to "ward off evil spirits." MISSISSIPPI'S average education for whites is 11 years, which is higher than the national average. For non-whites the average education is six years, below the national average, according to the State Chamber of Commerce. GEORGIA'S Legislature now in session will consider a bill that would require every merchant in the state selling goods manufactured in Communist countries to post signs at all customer entrances proclaiming: "Communist-Made Prod- ucts Sold Here." Such merchants also would be required to print the words, "Dealers In Communist-Made Products" on their stationary, billheads, cartons and containers. In Columbus, Georgia, city fathers now collect a special $1,000 license fee from local merchants selling goods from Communist countries in competition with American and free world products. Organized drives against Redmade goods are being promoted from coast to coast.
