Kenilworth> One of the funny things about experiences is that some people don't know when they are haying them. They often say to me', "You have such interesting experiences!" Maybe so Maybe not. Maybe some things tickle my interest bone that don't tickle some one else's. For instance: Yesterday I went to see the new Governor of. Mississippi dedicate the newly carved statue of the Indian made from a cypress log by Peter Toth, the Hungarian United States citizen who graduated from the University of Akron and goes about the country carving statues of wood (a 2,000-year- old cypress log in this instance) or stone as the case may be. I told of Toth in an article dated dated Jan 28, *76. The Air Force from Keesler field got into the act. They hauled in two flat bed trailers; parked them at right angles to each other, got the trucks out of the way, leveled off the un- pinnings of the flat beds and left the nicest right angle stage for a political hoe-down that you ever saw. Abe Lincoln never Pre-School Vision and Hearing Screening, Nativity Lutheran church MARCH 11 Christ the King Sodality pot- luck dinner, 6:30 p.m., church hall had it so good. They tied off a * place for the Ocean Spring* high school band. The garden cleaned up the local area, Davidson park, in a way it hadn't been cleaned in years and won't be again for quite awhile. Traffic controls were put on the local turnoffs. Traffic control crews to get folks back and forth across the four-lane road to the park. It was well done. Not a soul had „ the daylights scared out of him by a close call. It was quite an event to have the full flowing traffic of four lanes held up while Rose and I and a brace of other couples made it across the lanes at a reasonable walking speed, while gallons of gas fdled away. The master of ceremonies for the dedication was Edward Khayat the president of the Jackson county board of supervisors. He didn't miss a trick. Everybody - but' everybody - got called upon1 to stand and take a bow. There were members of the Mississippi State Legislature, the County board,- the city fathers of Ocean Springs. One man in whose presentation I was interested, Sam • Kin- solving, was the great grandson * of Cochise and the grandson of Chief Natchez. More than 3,700 Indians live in Jackson County. They are representatives of forty-seven different tribes, namely Navahos, Sioux and Choctaws. Several of the men were regal and carried themselves with pride.* Well >hpv mair His Excellency, the new Governor of Mississippi. Clifford Flinch was introduced. The Governor is a fine ap­ pearing man of above average height. He stands 6 feet, has a blond complexion, a good pair of blue eyes and a head of wavy hair that many a gal would present her eye teeth for. The Governor informed us that Mississippi was a mighty fine state and the people of Jackson county and of Ocean Springs were of the best, the Mississippians were known for their willingness to "hep" each other and do good. He told us that his first act as Governor was to s.ign a bill the Legislature had passed so that Miississippians have fairer treatment from a state government that is deeply interested in them. The Governor was well groomed in a suit that did the office proud. Next to him sat the guest of honor, the sculptor, Peter Toth. Mr. Toth was groomed differently. His clothing was clean and con­ sisted of well worn and patched blue denims. About his head, like the headgear of the seafaring fathers of this land in its early days, was a red bandana tied. Hfs shirt did not have material everywhere so muscular bronzed arms showed through, his face was bronzed, his hands tough from the three-month work on tough old cypress with hammer and chisel. He said simply, "I feel the American Indian has been illy treated for five centureis. If I can at least put one of my statues of him in each of the McHENRY'S 3 Day Try The Key Delivered To Your Door (IN A PLASTIC BAG) Wed.

If you have any knowledge of history and any convictions as a follower of Jesus Christ, you can't argue with that one very much. ' * I shall not soon forget the difference between Governor and sculptor. Each is h good man. I am sure. How dif­ ferently we order our lives toward the good of our country and the glory of God! It is a Sunday afternoon. The temperature is 74. The kids are roaring up and down the coast beach boulevard. I stopped typing a jninute and counted them. 110 in ten minutes - that is one every six seconds--quite an uproar.

Second Lieutenant Bradley A. Pictor, son of retired Air Women, etc., Women have reached middle age when their girdles pinch them and men don't. It takes a smart women to decide if a man is too old to.be eligible, or too eligible to be considered old. Romance is out the window when she starts needling and stops knitting. Marriage is the most ex­ pensive way to get laundry done free. Finally, you can never tell about a woman, and if you pan, you shouldn't. Force Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. William E. Pictor of 4117 W.
