A TEST .CASE
The eyes of the world are on the Uni-
over:,ity of Mississippi in connection 'with
• th'e enrolment for classes .there of Negro
James Meredith., The situation Lias been .one
sof irresistible ° forces and immovable ob-
jects.
' Commenting on the situation, the well-
infor'nied Christian Seielice,Monitor, of Bos-
ton, makes the following carefully eon-
-siders d statement :
"The pressure for equality in America
will not cease but grow' as the century
moves on. And Mississippi, like its less ada-
mant neighbors, should begin to see that
in order ,to slake the best of this situation
it should begin to let its most qualified
Negroes become well educated men under
circumstances which admit them to full
citizenship."

tens Wrote letters„to•the newspaper calling
upon the constabulary—one night man,
one day—to "lay whatever charge was ap-
propriate.
Therm is- no doubt as to the nature of
the charge that could now be laid against
youthful drivers whcf_,eruise the Square on
rubber tires and get into trials of speed on
a fine Sunday afternoon. The Ontario
Traffic act' lays down that `'no person

A PREFERENCE
'I'llt• Muskoka News, which last May
joined, the ranks of Canadian dailies, has
reverted to •weekly publication. Andrew
U. MacLean, president of the company;
explains:. "The people of Muskoka have
tindicate;l a preference for weeklies. There-
fore, we will produce quality newspapers

. It i•; .obvious that even in the heart of
a great' vacation area such as Muskoka, a
newspaper must serve primarily the• perm-
anent residents. and 'business concerns and
deserve their support in order to prosper

-penalty for a first offence is $25 to $100
and a person so -.convicted "shall also be
liable to imprisonment „dor not more than
3(1 days, -and in addition liis license or per
slit niay be suspended for not more than
60 days.”
Thus, the 'legislators evidently take a
serious view of raring in a street, find cer-
tainly it is more dangerous than horse -and -
buggy contests, even though the Square
in diose days was not a one-way thorou h -
fare. The practice may also be more haz-
ardous to the perpetrators, inasmuch as
the -town has ruore than one policeman on
ditty.
FOR WEEKLIES
advertisers find,the rnu5t efficient, fastest
and mom economical deans of arquaiirtirig
people with the goods and services. they
offlir.
- An Illinois Central Railway official, in
a speech which the Linotype News thought
. worth ie -producing for information of the
trade, said his company, long engaged in
a • sustained advertising campaign, • would
sooner discontinue it in city papers than the
country weeklies. In words equally applic-
able on this side of the border, he added:
The small communities are.. showing the
greatest gains 111 standard of living, in in-
dividual and social .welfare and in other
evidences of progress and power ... The
country 'newspaper, like the railroad, lives
with the people it. serves."
Inquest Has Been Ordered Into
Sudden Death Of Jail Prisoner
The lifeless body of James
Robert Scott, ,20, was discover-
ed hanging • from his cell door
in Huron County Jail, 'Wednes-
day evening, September 26, by
turnkey 'Clarence Ramer and
jail governor, William Bell, dur•
ing a routine inspection. A
flannelette . bedsiieet had been
used for a noose.
Following the tisual proce
dure of making a check of prise
oners, at each change of shift,
the governor and the turnkey
were shocked by the scene re-
vealed by their' flashlights.
Scott had been placed in the
cell at .five o'clock, by town
police, pending the minor
charge of creating a disturb-
ancr. He had been arrested
hour earlier ner a West
• street service station, following
a fracas with• another man.
Scott had' "paused there while
the service station' attendant re-
placed a flat tire on the car.
Two 'other men, including the
owner of -the vehicle, approach-
ed and an argument ensued.
The body was discovered at
10.45 p.m, the same evening as
Mr. Ramer came on duty to as-
sume his nightlong shift. Ear-
lier in the evening, at 7.30 p.m.,
a • doctor and a constable had
escorted Scott to the local hos-
pital for X-rays, following his
complaint that his arm _.vas
painful. He had injured his
wrist a month previously while
working at his place of employ-
ment. The injury had kept
him on Workhnen's Compensa-
tion pay for the past three
weeks.
Two other prisoners, in the
same c211 block, slept through
"he occurrence and were still
when they were removedto
inother block.
A post mortem examination
was conducted by pathologist,
Dr. Penistan, Stratford, Thurs-
day mor'ning, with the cause of
the young man's decease indic-
ated as "death by hanging." An
inquest has been• ordered, to
take place later this fall.
James Robert Scott was „born
in Goderich and had lived here
all of his life: He is survived
by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Scott; ,his half-brother,
Keith Dickenson, Calgary; and
two sisters, Mrs. Glen. (Audrey)
Williams, London, and Mrs. Ken-
neth (Betty) Huisser, Seafprth.
The remains rested at - the
Lodge funeral home until two
o'clock Saturday afternoon,
where funeral services were
conducted by Rev. G. L. Royal,
of Knox Presbyterian Church.
Interment followed in Maitland
cemetery.
The youth was scheduled to
appear in' Thursday's magis-
eur-t--to-answer-a-e
of drunkenness and causing a
disturbance.' The nature of the
somewhat minor charge gave no
indication as to . why he should
choose to takehis own life.
