Holmes Demonstration *
Clubs Hold Meeting

stiaiion Club council met Janu
ary 27 in the city hall at Lexing

port on what we as a nation and

persons. Several families have
been brought to Mississippi to en
gage in agriculture, and there are
five students at Mississippi State
cllege, one at Ole Miss, and one in
the junior college at Senatobia.
Mrs. Orget Zanderson told,
through a written statement, what
caused so many people in Europe
to be homeless. “Those who are
able to work hard now imigrate
to the United State and Australia,
but in Germany still lives many
families who lost their bread
earners in the fight against com
munism and cannot imigrate any
where.”
Miss Ruth Ethridge of the Ex
tension Service, specialist in or
ganization and program planning,
was the guest speaker. She said,
“the efficiency of an organization
depends on the officers. They
must be self-controlled and not
dictorial. Officers should have the
aamiration of the whole club. The
year’s work for the local clubs
must be well planned and inte
grated with that of the state. •
“However, three officers cannot
make a good club. Committees
are important, and committee
chairmen have quite a responsi
, bility. The legislative committee
[ should be alive to the present is
j sues in Jackson. The finance
I committee needs to plan a suitable
budget and work toward its goal.
“Plans are being made for en
tertaining the National Council
of Home Demonstration clubs in
Biloxi next fall. Mississippi may
expect delegates from thirty-one
or more states and all the pos
sessions.”

The Faith That
Created America
John W. McPherrin. editor of
the American Druggist, recently
spent five weeks in England
studying socialized medicine. He
said that. Britons seem to have ac- !
cepted the “false doctrine” that
the state alone can bring securi- I
tv. though, he added. “I don’t
think they really believe it deep
down in their hearts.” He quoted
the British health minister, Aneu- !
rin Bevin, as saying in a private
interview, “The method we are
using to provide health for all
the people will spread throughout
the world. Such a change is in- !
evitable. America must come to
it."
Then he gave his own view, in
these words: “After five weeks
in Great Britain I came home'
with a new reverence for the faith
in mankind that created America.
The same faith did not create the
welfare state.”
The main importance of social
ized medicine — and of the com-1
pulsory government health insur
ance scheme now being proposed
for this country — is that it is not
a thing complete in itself, but j
part of an infinitely larger plan
to give government either owner-!
ship or absolute control over the
people’s resources and the people
as individuals. According to the
classic communist dogma, social
ized medicine is one of the most
important steps in this direction,
i If it cannot be achieved all at
once, an attempt is made to bring
it in by degrees. To take a cur
rent example. Congress now has
before it two bills, one of which
would authorize Federal hand
outs to medical schools, and an
other which would make the gov
ernment responsible for the medic
al care of children within certain
age groups. The obvious purpose
is piecemeal socialization.
The welfare state, in all its
many facets, is the anthithesia of
what we have believed to be the
American tradition. Sooner or lat
er, it would destroy that tradi
tion totally.
Mrs. T. A. Lail was a Jackson
i visitor last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Bailey and
Mrs. Louise Wallace were Mem
phis visitors Sunday.
Mrs. A. Y. Brown of LouisviDr
