The only reminder of Jacinto's former greatness is the decaying old red-brick two-story courthouse, which is now used by the congregation of the Metho dist church. Jacinto was recognized as the most prosperous and fastest growing city of northeast Mis sissippi in the 1840s and '50s and its only recognized rival in the area was the bustling port of Eastport, Tcnn., on the Tennes see. river. Jacinto originally was known as Cincinnati after another com munity on the banks of the Ohio, the residents decided two "great" cities with the same name would prove confusing. Along about that time the Texas fight for in dependence had ensnared the public fancy, so when the battle of San Jacinto was fought and won by the pioneers, the Missis sippi, town's name was changed. In time, residents in the coun ty's outer perimeter began to complain that slow travel made it a day's journey to Jacinto in the geographic center of the county. The "state" was split Into three counties Today the once prosperous community of Jacinto contains fewer than 100 persons and its former rival, Eastport, is not even on the map. The communi ty is almost inaccessible in bad weather. Two small general stores make up the bulk of the business district Nevertheless, Jacintoans still are proud of their community ftsfiffiVf INTER SPERRY'S fk WEt&tTiU v iooo.oo iir d dollars IN CASHt THESE 4z (JU onex TW2CS womom420l000i J A A 1 1 lv I, so so 3RD PRIZES 13 HACF.

ELLIS United Pr.si Scienet Editor expected to have wide use in furniture upholstery, a plastic solution that covers up cracks in the walls of buildings, and plastic railroad tie clamps that are expected to save the carriers millions of dollars a year. The new foam material was developed by Elastomer Chemi cal Corp, Nutley, N. J., together with research teams of the Bakelite Co. The new substance resembles foam rubber but It has several advantages, according to the en gineers. The material, made from vinylite plasticol, is more flame resistant, has a high resil ience and elasticity, Is resistant to oxidizing or hardening and is virtually odorless. It can be covered by textile or film. It Is lightweight and avail able in any color or thickness. The material Is made in a sim ple three-step process. It Is ex pected to compare In cost with foam rubber. Another substance with a vinylite base is in solution form. It was developed by Surface En gineering Co., Wichita, Kan., can be applied by spray on the walls of buildings. Cracks up to two Inches wide can be bridged. The resulting protective coat, like a cover of heavy paint, Is resistant to fire, the weather and deteri oration. One gallon of the sub stance will cover 100 square feet of wall. Railroads are constantly being forced to change the wooden tie pads that serve to hold the rails to the tie. However, a new plas tic material is now being made into tie pads. They are flexible and absorb the stock and de structive abrasion caused by heavy engines and cars moving over the rails. Engineers at the national plas tic exposition estimated that railroads can save more than $450 a mile annually in track maintenance costs by using the new-type plastic tie pads. The pads already have been tested for some years. They are made of abaca fiber compound with a vinylite resins. The tests show that the new tie pads were undamaged after many months of us. The conventional tie pads suffered severe damage. H I'Thts mm m ZACK'S APPLIANCE CO. 220 WEST MAIN MEDFORD, OREGON Freedom Can Slip Away, Legislator Tells Rotarians A sober warning that freedom can slip away from the people o. America, unless the widely pre vailing negligence, carelessness and indifference of citizens are replaced with a sense of respon sivility at election time, was voiced in an address here Tues day by State Senator Howard Belton. The veteran legislator from Canby spoke at the Tues day luncheon meeting of the Medford Rotary club at the Jackson hotel. In discussing "You and Your Government," Senator Belton said that it is time to be more critical of government, with one dollar of every three earned by the taxpayer going to the cost of government. There are two phil osophies, one that government is the servant of the people, the other that the people are the slaves of government, he pointed out. We have ignored the teach ing of history, the speaker warn ed, and the existing feeling of hopelessness should be replaced with active interest in govern ment and greater exercise of voting franchise. Security Seen Object Recently, security has seemed to become the prime objective of government, Senator Belton told Rotarians; the deep freezes and mink coats- should cease to be the targets of jokes, they are instead an Indication of real tragedy. We have a real respon sibility to 40 million youths and to a half-million young men now fighting In the hills of Korea, he said, and it Is high time to understand that freedom can exist only In a moral atmos phere; that Christianity does have a place In politics. Ameri cans can do something about the present deplorable situation if they will exercise the right of the ballot, he concluded. Senator Belton was Introduced by Rotary program chairman John Niedermeyer.
