Jackson, in the minds of those who kn6w the city, is not just an other town of thirty thousand in population. In the minds of the public, Jackson is an unusual city, I do not say this in order to pat ourselves upon the back. I say it order to remind all of our people of a fact that is established out side of Jackson. I cannot think that we should break faith with those who compliment us by send ing their children and their friends to Jackson to be educated. To break faith with them would mean the loss of business, as well as the loss of prestige.

Why not continue to hold our high rating in the minds of those who wish to do business with us by daring to be different, as well as by darmg to be righteous? There is not the shadow of a doubt in my mind that if we open up our picture shows in Jackson for Sunday patronage that a heavy burden of restraint would be placed upon our college, and that many of those who send students to Jackson now would be inclined to send these students to other places where such temptations to break the Holy Sabbath day would not be thrown down before them with all the glamour and allurements of the modern picture show. There are many other arguments that I feel like making against Sunday movies, but I am limiting myself to a presentation of the issue from the standpoint of our college. JOHN JETER HURT.

7, to serve for a two years' term, beginning January 1, 1940. Mayor Howard J. Foltz, who has served for past six years, has no opposition as head of the city government, and a Citizens' Ticket for the five aldermen to complete the board was qualified prior to the dead line on Nov. 23, as follows: J. Paul Craddock, George D.

Dodson, Bill Leath, J. D. Cole and James W. Brooks. With the small number qualified to vote in Thursday's election, as the law requires a voter in city election that is of poll tax paying age to hold two past years poll tax receipts and all voters to be properly registered, there is only a small number to vote, in comparison to the city election of two years ago, when more than 2,000 qualified.

The registration books show only about 900 qualified to vote in Thursday's election. The chief reason advanced for the low interest in the coming election is that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen's ticket will be unopposed.
