The peace, morality, of your communitv and county depend to a large extent upon diligence, in telligence, honesty and integrity of the grand jury. Failure would merit the contempt of all good citizens,” he said.

Aug. 7.—The special .session of the General Assembly which will convene here at noon Monday probably will not use for the PWA program the $7,000,000 earmarked to pay off the state’s bonds coming due this year. Governor Hoey, who worked to- nig.ct on liis m'^ssage for the leg islature, was reliably reported not to favor use of the debt funds for the federal-state projects. He was represented as believing the state should not intrrupt its bond-retirement program by re funding the bonds due this year and making the $7,000,000 availa ble for permanent improvements. Amount Reduced '* This development reduced from $20,000,000 to about $10,00(),000 the amount which the projects may cost, though the exact figure will not be known publicly until reported to the General Assem bly. New state bonds now may total not more than about $5300.000. *rhis issue is limited to that sum by the 1936 debt limitation amend ment to the Constitution specify ing that new bonds may not ex ceed two-thirds of the amount by which the state reduced its debt during the preceding biennium. Meanwhile, Attorney - General Harry McMullan worked on a hill to enable municipalities also to participate in the ^uildii% pro gram. This measure .would be a reen actment, with several changes and amendments, of the 1936 bond act .which expired last year. It allowed municipalities to issue self-liqui dating bonds for such projects as water, sewage and electric sys- teiiis.

Guard Members In Mississippi Get Sample of Army Life In Maneuvers Along with several other com panies, Company A of the nation al guard is now stationed at Hat tiesburg, Miss., going through war maneuvers against an imagi- nary enemy attacking the Gulf coast. ' Under command of Captain Ralph Reins and Lieut. E. P. Robinson Company A is going through the works and taking a big part just like they would do if the enemy was real Instead of imaginary, A little first hand information of the work Is contained in the following excerpts from a letter from Ben Harrison, member of the company, to his father, W. G. Harrison; “We marched 15 miles yester day morning, starting at five In the morning and at 9; 30 wo hit this camp and rested until 12. Then we ate and Seargent Wyatt called for a detail and as we are 15 miles from headquarters and could not bring any of the office equipment, we lined up and he put us on a truck. ; We hauled eaad and 'grarel until fbnP - o’- time. "Wl were ordered to fall in with' raincoat and canteen ready to go. We did not know what was up but they ordered us to file by the tool house and get a shovel or something. They took us out on a mud road, up close to the "front,” and we filled up mud holes until nine o’clock In the morning and then we got off until 12 o’clock.

Declaring that ten per cent of the drivers are responsible for the greater portion of highway deaths he asked the g-and jury: ”.4re we going to let ten per cent tell our wives and children that they can not drive on t'ne highways with out being in cnnsi.ant danger of being killed. He painted a gory word picture of automobile deaths, saying that “failure to enforce traffic laws result in sudden death, masses of blood, liroken bones . . painful or per manent injury.” For almost halt an hour he talked about liquor and its disas trous effects. "God gave most of us sound minds and sound bodies. When we use liquor and impair our minds and bodies we are trespassing upon wwhat God gave us -id we are trespassing a- gainst wives, babies, relatives, the community and tbe'entire so ciety of the state. The habitual drinker instead of being an as set as God intended is a liability. Those who dictate to liquor, con trol It and use it in moderation are exceptions. They set a worse example than the habitual drunk ard,’- he said, and went on to explain that "no child wants to follow the example of a drunk ard. ... It is time to start now in the home to talk against the use of liquor. The boy who re fuses to accept a drink may miss an invitation to a party or two but among those who decline are those who will be captains of football and baseball teams in the 'iniverslties and they are the ones who will be the future heads of business.” He stated that he was making the remarks about liquor in the home that they would Influence some "of the young people. Judge Rousseau mentioned in no uncer tain terms the rapid Increase In drinking by women and said that the time has come when women must be brought to the bar of Justice to pay for drunkenness.
