It happened this way. Upon petition of the citizens, Acting Governor Fielding L.

Wright Tuesday issued a proclamation abolishing the "Town of Courtland" because it had not had a town election in over two years. Then, yesterday after a lapse of some 24 hours, a Village of Courtland" with officials was created. Records show that the "Town of Courtland" was incorporated on March 30, 1871. Officials of the new "Village of Courtland" are: E. E.

Dardene, marshal: Kendrick A. Commer, tax collector; Mrs. Hubert Rowsey, clerk; New- 13 ATTIC and Plans of residents of the Forest Hill School District to incorporate, which created considerable interest several weeks ago, have apparently been dropped. The petition for incorporation, addressed to Governor Thomas L. Bailey and carrying the signatures of many of the residents, was publicized in the newspapers as required by law, but has never reached the Governors office.

However, the Governor's office does have on file a 'Petition and Objection" to the community's incorporation, carrying nearly 500 signatures, many of which appeared cn the original petition. The "Petition and Objection" states that the proposed incorporation is "not feasible, and is impractical, ana rather than promoting the health, wealth, education and general welfare of the citizens of said area such act would prove detrimental to these objectives." The counter-petition pointed out that the taxes necessary to providing municipal services and proper operation of a local government would be prohibitive The original petition for incorporation set out the boundaries of the community and said that there were 2,610 residents, including 576 qualified electors, in the area, Wednesday that a tire and wheel were stolen lrom a trailor truck on the express company's parking lot, Tuesday night.

Persons, Birmingham and head of Alabama-Mississippi ntional Guard District, paid great tribute to the memory of two prominent Jacksonians, the late Col. Fred Bradshaw and Col. Louis lPTritt.s, while addressing the Jackson Kiwanis club yesterday In behalf of reactivating the National Guard in the state.

"These officers joined my command in 1940," said the speaker. "They attracted my They sacrificed their business, were deprived of the pleasure of association with their familes, disregarded their health to serve our country. They died at home, but I am certain that they were casual-tics ot the war Just as much as any man who was struck down by a Japanese bullet." In pointing out the numerous needs for the revival of the National Guard, General Persons stated that the units would be used in the event of riots, disasters or internal disorders. lie pointed out that In World War it was a year before our soldiers were In the fight and that half of that number who saw battle were National Guardsmen. He stated that In 1941.

the United States had to depend on the National Guard again and of the first eleven divisions to be engaged with the enemy, nine of which were National Guard Divisions. "When World War II was declared, all the National Guard was absorbed by the Army of the United States and the Guard as a separate unit ceased to exist," stated the speaker. The Birmingham speaker pointed out that there are some who say that the United States does not need any army or navy and that through disarming, peace would descend on the earth. "This is a pretty theory, but until men become different human beings the only safe program is to maintain the ability to fight," he said. "If th people of the United States are to continue to enjoy the liberty we row have.

If we are to remain a democracy, if we are to retain some measure of our present standard of living, and if we expect to hold our position as a world power, we must maintain a strong military force," the speaker pointed out. As to the answer to the problem nf providing for protection, ft speaker stated that the United States should maintain a full time military organization, army, navy and air force, greatly in excess of nur pre-war establishment. "Next we should have a National Guard of (500,000 men, and third a Reserve Corps of sufficient officer strength to man an additional army of men," said General Persons. "We must have a universal military training law. I am not in favor of the law originally proposed by the army of requiring every man of military age to spend one year in training, but I am in favor of requiring every man of military age to have the equivalent of one year's training, and I mean by this that upon reaching the right age a young man should be required to spend four months In consecutive intensive training, that for the remaining eight months he be given credit for service in the National Guard, the Reserve Corps, or for certain occupations in civil life which are essential to the army," he said.

He urged that the armed forces of this country be placed under a single directing hand, so as to ele-minate the waste of man power and material. "The state of Mississippi Is being askpd to orglnlze a National Guard consisting of 7,034 men." said the speaker.

The fact that five ships were sunk, nine wrecked, and 45 damaged, more than proves the vast destructive force of atomic power, in the second experiment, to be held July 25, the bomb will be suspended in a container beneath a barge at a depth of about 18 feet and detonated by radio impulse from a ship 20 miles away. Vice Admiral Blandy, who Is In charge of operations, predicts that waves 50 to 75 feet high will sweep across Eikinl. Others predict that the hulls of the ships will be crushed and the lagoon waters will become strongly radioactive. During the third test, which will be held next year, a "bathysphere" type bomb, capable of withstanding tremendous pressure, will be exploded in the open sea at a depth of 125 feet.

The speaker pointed out that with this program, it will provide the state a more than adequate force for any conceivable local emergency, and will give the United States a military unit trained In the fundamentals of war, organized, equipped and ready to take the field In a very short period of time. In concluding his talk.

General Persons said that "the small number of casualties In the 31st Division, Its unsurpassed health record, the promotion of so many of its men to high rank, was not an accident. It was because with rare exception all the top men of the 31st Division who were responsible for the lives and welfare of our boys were men from home, and they had personal knowledge of the competency of their men and a genuine interest in that each of them was cared for and got their Just deserts."
