The militant Negroes ' of Mifltissippi who make up the New Fighting South, will not ■urrender. In their fight for full citizenship this new breed of, Negro refuses to be ■ilenced by terror, brutaUty or (pven threats of death. In a recent Regional Coun cil meeting in Mound Bayou, Miss., more than 13,000 Ne groes Jammed into the small town to reaffirm their cause anf to pay tribute to Rev, G. T. Lee, Baptist minister who was murdered a few days later In nearby Belzoni, MiSs., when he refused to remove his name from the local voting Ust. Seven Negro leaders of Mississippi also have been mafked for death by whites In tha area ^nd they say that they are not running away. “We’re not afraid,” said Dr. T. R. M. Howard of Mound Bayou. “Some of the rest of us may join Reverend I^ee, but we will join him as courage- -oua warriors—not as cringing cowards!” “We’re under the gim,” ■ays Belzoni grocer Gus Courts, “but I mean to stand up—regardless.” “I’m not backing up,” says Dr. Clinton Battle, Ihdianola physician. When, asked if Negroes are afraid in Mississippi, the state NAACP secretary Medgar Evers of Jackson replied, .TfTou don't have time to be afraid.” The militant Negroes are not running to the northern cities for better education for their children, or where their vote can be counted.

Baseball’s greatest catcher is a Lucky smoker. “/ go for Luckies," says Roy Cam- panella, “because Luckies taste better to me. ThaPs the way I fed—and that^s why I smoke Luckies." It’s easy to understand why Luckies taste better. First of all, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then that tobacco is toasted, “It's Toasted^’—the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies’ light, mild, y good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better .. . cleaner, fresher, smoother. Next time it’s light-up tiine, enjoy better taste yourself. Light up a Lucky! "IT’S TOASTED" to taste better! ' K ' .
