But in Puerto Rico, she said, sTie found the people had hope that things would improve while In Mississippi, the colored people had none. Mrs. Greeij added: “The doored people (in Mississippi) are without the cheerfulness and hope of the Puerto Ricans. Instead, I found bitterness and abrooding tension. _ _J2An. attractive, college-tnained young colored girl running an elevator for $lB a week told me, “If I ever get in trouble, I won’t bother with a court They can just skip that and punish me. Justice is for white people in Mississippi.’ “A colored mother tells her daughter, 'Don’t say your ten cents entitles you to ride on the bus. If you get in an argument with the driver, don’t argue-just get off." 4 "That is what the young learn of democracy in Mississippi’s capital, Jackson.

Shortly after nine, they entered their box, which was festooned with greens and bore the red and white crest of the prince’s family.

FBI Head Deplores Use Os Word ’Cop’ Destroys Respect For Authority WASHINGTON (INS) — FBI director J. Edgar Hoover issued a sharp blast today against the use of the word "cop” on the grounds it destroys respect for authority and can add to juvenile delinquency. "As a career law enforcement officer,” Hoover declared, "I abhor the word 'cop' in reference to members of our profession. The expression is degrading to law enforcement and the stature it has achieved ...” Hoover's unusual statement came in an editorial in the FBl’s monthly bulletin. He commented: "Especially deplorable is the use of this term —a standard derisive invective of the underworld —in a careless or disdainful manner by ordinary law-abiding individuals. "Good law enforcement thrives in an atmosphere of public under-, standing and support. “Wherever there remains any vestige of the public scorn inherent in the word ‘cop’ the hope for adequate salaries, proper equipment arid other requisites of efficient police departments wanes. In addition, poor adult example can only lead to youthful disrespect for police authority —an open} doorway to increased Juvenile delinquency.” ; t“ ,' Hollywood — According to recent surveys, the movie theaters of the world provide one seat for every 44 persons.

Homemaking Tips By Miss Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent 7 Make those food dollars stretch! In the Decatur area look for these items that are especially good values: Fruits — grapefruit, oranges, juice, bananas; vegetables, lettuce, celery, onions, potatoes, cabbage; meat, pork and beef. _ Because the meat packing houses have had two shorter work weeks than usual, there is somewhat less meat available. As a result, there Is a slight increase in some of our meat prices, particularly pork. But even with this minor upward swing, it is still a top notch buy. According to the American meat institute, retail meat prices have dropped 12 per cent since September 14 and almost ail cuts may be purchased at the lowest price of the post-war period. This is certainly me season to serve your family citrus fruits. While, grapefruit and Florida oranges are both plentiful and reasonably priced, citrus fruit salad ia a delightful addition to any meal. Several stores are also featuring bananas and avocados. Either one or both of these fruits adds an excellent flavor to the citrus combination. The peak of the Emperor grape season is now past so w’eJlnd^that prices have advanced slightly and the quality is not as good a-s it was.
