A HELPFUL NOTE for you Ladies Having Dry Hair Dry hair is often caused by poor activity of the sebaceous or oil glands in the scalp. These glands must be stimulated in order to produce more seburm for the hair. Scalp massaging and hair brushing will tend to stimulate these glands and also the blood circulation whereby the hair receives its nourishment. An occasional hot-oil treatment may also be necessary. For further aid, see your skilled beauticians at the Mi-La-de Styling Salon 1216 Jackson St. Phone 3-4478 "Across from Hammond's Fruit Market" Our Salon is open each weekday evening except Wednesday until after Easter.

LEHMAN HOSTESS TO HISTORICAL CLUB Mrs. Wesley Lehman was hostess to sixteen members of the Historical club Wednesday afternoon. The roll call was answered with quotations. Mrs. Artie Crider, leader for the meeting, called for current events and read a very interesting paper on the state of Mis. sissippi. At the beginning of the 16th century, the territory included in the present state of Mississippi was inhabited by three powerful native tribes, the Natchez in the southwest, the Choctaws in the southeast and the Chickasawa in the north, and a few weaker tribes. The history of Mississippi can be divided into six periods, starting in 1540, when Hernando De Soto marched through the north part of the state, and reached the Mississippi River. From 1699-1763 was the period of French rule. The first European settlement in Mississippi was founded in 1699 by Pierre Le Moyne on the east side of Biloxi bay, in what is now Ocean Springs, Jackson county. The oldest permanent settlements in the state are now Biloxi and Fort Rosali. The efforts to foster colonization and commerce through trading corporations failed and the colony soon came under the direct control of the king. From 1763-1781 was the period of English rule. At the close of the seven years war in 1763, France ceded to Great Britain all territory east of the Mississippi except New Orleans. Under British rule there was an extensive immigration into this region from England, Ireland, Georgia, South Carolina and New Jersey. From 1781-1788 was the period of Spanish rule. Spain took militant possession in 1781 and finally, in the treaty of San Lorenzo El Real, Spain withdrew its troops in 1789. From 1798-1817 was the territorial period. Mississippi territory was then organized, with Winthrop Sargent as governor. The Choctaws ceded their lands to the United States in 1820, and the Chickasaws ceded their’s in 1832, and both tribes’ moved to the Indiana territory. On December 10, 1817, the state was formally admitted into the union. Die first constitution provided a high property qualification for governor, senator and representative and empowered the legislature to elect the judges and the more important state officials. In 1822, the capital was removed to Jackson from Columbia. Die canstitution of 1832 abolished the property qualification for holding office and provided so fthe popular election of judges and state Officlials. In 1861, Mississippi seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate states, and Feb. 23, 1870, Mississippi was formally readmitted into the union. Mississippi was the first state in the union to establish, in 1884, a state-supported college for women. Agriculture is the leading industry of the state, and cotton is the chief product. Oil was discovered in 1939 and Mississippi became one of the top ten states in oil production. By Nov., 1950, there were ap proximately 1,600 producing oil wells. The name Mississippi is taken from the Mississippi River, the state’s western boundary, and means “Father of Waters” in the Indiana language. Its nickname is "The Magnolia state.” A social hour was enjoyed and the hostess served lovely refreshments. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Florence Anderson March 13. ROOT TOWNSHIP CLUB MEETS WITH MRS. SUSDORF Die February meeting .of the Root Township home demonstration club was held in the home of Mrs. Florence Susdorf recently. Mrs. Fred Kunkel, president, op ened the meeting by leading the group in the repitition of the creed. The song of the month, “Die Old Oaken Bucket," was sung by the members.

Roll call was answered by the thirteen members present naming their birthplaces. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. John Magley, and were approved. Mrs. James Moses gave the treasurer’s report. The citizenship lesson, “Recreation for the bedfast,” was given by Mrs. Leo King, Sr. She gave examples of how to keep all ages entertained while they have to stay in bed. The health and safety lesson on fires was given by Mrs. William Susdorf. She told of a new way to make a home fire safe. It was very interesting. The door prize was won by Mrs. , Robert DeLong. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Russel Fleming and Mrs. : William Susdorf. RUTH AND NAOMI CIRCLE MEETS The Ruth and Naomi circle of ; the Zion United Church of Christ met in the church parlors recently. Die meeting was opened with ' a piano solo and silent prayer. Die leader, Mrs. John Beineke, read scripture from II Dmothy, chapter 1, and offered prayer. The group sang. “O, Master Let Me ' Walk with Thee.” The lesson was ; on “Thoughts of today.” The business meeting was conducted by the chairman, Mrs. Rufus Kirchhofer. Among the 15 members present, 26 sick calls and 18 social calls were made, and five birthdays reported. The meeting was c’osed with the members joininf hands and repeating the Mizpah benediction.
