At the end of the day each row thinks back to see if they have had good citizenship through the day. If the rows have good citi zenship, each of them gets a star. If three rows get a star we have another chart called our "Room Chart" and we put a star on this chart. So far, the Foxes have 13 stars, the Eagles have 12 stars, the Fal cons have 8 stars, the Cheetas have 10 stars, and the Hawks have 1 1 stars. The room Citi zenship chart has 19 stars for the third six weeks. We have had this program just a short time.

Griffin Creek school wel comes Mrs. Wilma Peabody as our new third grade teach- Heart Death Rate Claimed Decreased Chicago -(Uni- The death rate from heart and blood ves sel diseases among middle aged men has decreased 6 per cent in the past 12 years. Dr. James V. Warren, president of the American Heart associa tion, said today. "This drop is the first rel atively sustained improve ment we have seen" in the cardiovascular mortality pic ture as it affect the middle aged man, he said. Warren, addressing a three day stroke conference, said the 6 per cent drop was due primarily to drops in the mor tality rates from cerebrovas cular diseases and high blood pressure during the period since 1950. Between 1950 and 1960 the stroke mortality rate dropped 22 per cent and the hypertension death rate, 44 per cent, he said.

FEBRUARY IS. 1963 Food Distribution Said Cheap Scheme Jackson, Miss. -lUPH- State Welfare Commissioner Fred A. Ross charged Thursday that distribution of food to Missis sippi Negroes by Negro come dian Dick Gregory and others was "a cheap publicity scheme." Ross made the statement in referring to the distribution Tuesday and Wednesday of about 14,000 pounds of food supplies raised in Chicago by Gregory and Negro groups. Gregory escorted the food to Memphis where it was trucked to distribution points in Sunflower and Leflore counties. Ross said the surplus food program in Mississippi may be wiped out as a result of the action because "people of good will in this state who have demonstrated their desire to minister to the needy, rather j than the greedy, may find it impossible to do so in the fu ture."
