32 For Sale. Misc. Siturdiy, Jan. 24,1 HATTIESBURG AMERICAN Pag David Lawrence Death Mystic Krewe Dinner Dance Many Carey Students Train For Ministry Ministerial students comprise the largest ore-professional eroun Members Of Enjoy Annual By THE ROYAL SCRIBE The Mystic Krewe of Zeus opened the 1959 Carnival Season Friday evening in an atmosphere of gaiety and refreshing fun. His Royal Highness, King Zeus XVIII, and his court of merry-makers enjoyed the annual dinner-dance held in the Forrest Hotel, with revels extending into the early hours of the morning.

The dukes, knights and their lovely ladies made their entrances promenading along a Paris' boulevard that wa's a replica of a scene in Montmartre. Paris in the Spring inspired the setting against a background of flower bedecked screens. The mezzanine represented a sidewalk cafe with bright striped awn-ings above numerous small tables covered with red and white checked tablecloths. Colorful and "arty" decorations included flower vendors carts, book stalls and news pillars of familiar French phrases. Bright travel placards depicting landmarks of Paris, prints by famous French artists and ornate framed mirrors added to the authenticity of the scene.

The revelers were first entertained in a cabaret, decorated in the proper French style, with Taulouse Latrec prints and hand painted murals, interpretations of Pieasso, adorning the walLs. TU. I I The statement goes on to lament thf fact the states and cities are assuming their local responsibilities and implies that, because they are increasing their debt, the Federal Government should do more and more to relieve them of their obligations. But the key paragraph in the statement about the budget reads as follows: "National defense outlays are reduced, and reduced even more when proper allowance is made for price changes." What, indeed, is bringing about those price changes? Monopolistic power exercised by nation-wide unions which, by their extortions at the bargaining table, set the pattern that leaders of other unions feel they niust match if they are to be re-elected to their posts. The Democratic Party Advisory Council apparently favors more and more spending, more and more deficits, and more and more inflation.

This, they argue, is what the people voted for last November. The Eisenhower administration disagrees and, if it is wrong in its fiscal policy, there will be a chance in 1960 to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, there must be tens of millions of citizens whose income is from the money they have saved and invested or from retirement and pension funds. Also many millions of persons, including widows and orphans, are living on the proceeds of insurance policies. These and others on fixed incomes may soon have to decide where the "deception" begins and ends as they try to compare the purchasing power of their dollar today with what it will be in November 1960 if the budget isn't balanced.

(Coypright, 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) Letter To Editor THE STOREHOUSE Editor, The American: I never thought that people would be ashamed to have a charitable organization in their neighborhood. I served three years in the Air Force and traveled all over the world. In the countries I visited, the people took pride in organizations such as the Storehouse for the Needy on River Ave. It stands for all God taught us. Maybe some hungry child or sick old lady won't mind what you name it.

I am sure it little one way or the other to them. They only thank the Lord have someone like Rev. Garland Mclnnis to help the people. James Smith 102 Alcorn Ave. Carterville News Mr.

The Democratic party has taken its position in favor of an unbalanced budget, deficit spending, and policies that could lead to a ten-cent dollar.

The Democratic advisory council, in a statement unanimously approved by its members, claims that "the new Republican budget comes close to being a fraud on the American people. individual budget items and the related legislative program are an intricate combination of defeat, deception and denial." This is strong language from Democrats who, during the 1952 presidential campaign, protested the alleged characterization of the Democratic party as the "party of treason" on the Communist issue. But apparently, in employing such words as "fraud" and "deception" in a description of the Republican party today, and particularly in applying the comment to a message delivered to Congress by the President of the United States, no holds now are to be barred on the use of invective. Among the listed sponsors of the statement of the Democratic Advisory Council are former President Truman and Adlai Stevenson, as well as Governors Williams of Michigan and Lawrence of Pennsylvania, and former Governor Harriman of New York. Members of Congress on the council who approved the statement are Senators Kefauver of Tennessee and Humphrey of Minnesota.

Speaker Sam Rayburn of the House and Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson of the Senate resent any implication that the Democratic party is the party of the "spenders." Naturally, as Southern conservatives, they oppose any such classification. But party policy apparently is being made by the Democrats from the North, where they have been winning their big majorities. Here is the Democratic party doctrine as the Advisory Council sees it: "The new budget shows, above all, that in the GOP administration there are no modern Republicans and no conservative Republicans but only men who put pock-etbook before people. This the people of the United States will surely remember. What is bad for people is also bad for pocketbooks, both private and public.

"Nothing better symbolizes Republican attitudes than the one big increase in the budget. That is for interest charges which rise from billions in the present fiscal year to $8.1 billions in the next. This is exclusively the result of the increase in interest rates. The only people who benefit in a big way from the new budget are those who have money and lend it to the government." But are the many millions of persons who buy government savings bonds to be persuaded in the future to buy them if the interest rates are presumably to be re duced if the Democrats have their way while the securities of well-established companies pay much higher interest rate? The reason for the higher interest pay. ments is that the national debt is increasing and investors are, in effect, demanding an interest rate on government bonds com parable to some degree with other bonds.

Oak Grove Gives State Line Good Battle Oak Grove's boys battled State Line, a team which has lost only twice, down to the wire Friday night before bowing 86-73 in a high-scoring lilt at the Warrior gyro-State Line jumped off to a 20-12 first period lead, but Oak Grove chipped the margin to 43 42 late in the third stanza. A torrid scoring spree in the final quarter iced the win for the visitors. Curtis' McMahan swished the cords for 25 points and Wendell Traylor hooped 22 to pace the Warriors, but the two weren enough to offset State Line's big guns.

Henderson tossed in 29 points and Kittrell bagged 24 for the winners. State Line also won the girls' rr, ir. I Cleirt-t-ruCa lyme i r.nn iv, point effort. Jennevia Sheffield shipped in -19 points and Doris Loft in had 12 for Grove. Oak Grove will tangle with Bassfield tonight at the Warrior gym.

SACRED HEART PLAYS AT PETAL TONIGHT Sacred Heart's hu- tlmg Crusaders will cross L'af Fiver tonight to do battle with Petal High at the Panth'T gym. The gir's game start at 7, with the boys' contest slated for about 8:13. in the Carey College student body. numbering eighty three during the first semester. They come from nine states; fifty of them are married.

About half of them are ordained, and less than a half dozen have yet to be licensed to the ministry by their home churches. Nearly half are serving as pastors, some near Hattiesburg but others in the western part of the state, on the Gulf Coast, near the Tennessee line and in a number of Alabama counties as far as three hundred miles away. Most of the pastors occupy pastors' homes on their church fields but live in Hattiesburg Monday through Friday, while others drive back and forth each day. Some live in local trailer courts, a few in apartments owned by the college or the Board of Ministerial Education of the state Baptist convention, some in local rented residences; the single men live in the college men's dormitory. Many of these men arc majoring in Religion and Philosophy, but others are found in nearly all the seven divisions into which the curriculum is divided.

In the group are several who are preparing, not for the pastorate but for college teaching or for careers in music, education, youth work or missions. Most of the prospective pastors whose schedules permit belong to the Ministerial Association sponsored on the campus by the religion and philosophy faculty, and most of the group are active in affairs of the Baptist Student Union which has full-time director. Many nf the wives of the ministerial students are also full or part-time Carey students; several other women students are training for work on church staffs or in the mission fields. Students for the ministry who are not already employed are available for special services in the churches near Hattiesburg and can be contacted through the Division of Religion and Philosophy. A number of ministerial students are among the second semester transfers now arriving at Carey.
