Shelton-Mason Cmmty ,Journal
To The Edit,w:
The following letter is directed
to all who may bc interested in
fu]'ther informai.ion concerninl~ the
Mississippi Smnmer Project nnd
1.o Mr. lbenny Hinton who recently
wrole in the .hmrnal of his "Im-
pressions on Visit, to South . . . "
My e:q)erienee is limited as was
Mr.'Hinlon's, in that I spent a
month this summer in Holly
Springs, Miss. During this month,
however, I took part in Civil
Rights work which included voter
reg'istration, freedom school teach-
inK, and cmnmunity center activi-
ties. The total prog'ram was coot'-
dina.ted under the auspices of sev-
eral Civil Rights groups, and none
of the participants were vacation-
inK.
My first point of concern, in
regard to Mr. Hinton's article, is
his quote from a white citizen of
Hattiesburg, Miss. that labels all
of us wht) were volunteers this
summer as "hoodlums" or "free-
dora demonstrators"! Of ti~e 37
vohmteers working on the pro-
ject in Holly Springs, all had had
some college education, seven of
ns are professional teachers, one
is a minister, and we were reg-
ularly ~isited by lawyers who ad-
vised u~ in legal matters. Other
treas and professions represented
included sociology majors, a reg-
[stored nnrse, art students, and
others. It seems odd to conclude
that such people as lawyers, nur-
ses, teachers and ministers, such
as are usually considered servants
of the general public,, are "hood-
lums".
Further in the article I4atties-
burg, Miss is again mentioned:
"In Hattiesburg, where there has
been little racial strife, we don t
pay much attention to the civil
rights workers".
' Interestingly, it was in Hatties-
burg that a maximum of 100 were
expected to attend the freedom
school and over 500 people came
to register for the classes. Some
people, obviously, paid attention
to the worlc of Civil Rights vol-
unteers. Racial strife ? In the same
Hattiesburg on July 20th a white
volunteer, Peter Werner, with
whom I had attended an orienta-
tion session, was beaten by three
white youths.
It is also stated that in ~,reas
where colored people predomin-
ate 'There were some "shacks"
• . but most were uninhabited!
Contrarily, I witnessed a goodly
number of shacks and remember
the great many that were inhab-
ited. Some Negroes live in lovely
homes, to be sure, but thin was
by no mdans a majority.
"The question is also raised as to
the reason or "purpose" of vol-
unteers going to Mississippi this
summer. For me, as for other vol-
unteers, it seemed as though an
injustice existed in our country,
one which was very basic. How
can ours be called a free country
wheu men are intimidated and
kept from such basic things as
equal opportnnity for education
and the right to vote? I didn:t
know the exact situation to be
found, but felt that if my part
in righting this wrong was even
minute, I would have done the
least possible in upholding my
convictions.
And looking as the results of
the Mississippi Summer Project,
results wbich surpassed anything
I had envisioned, it would seem
that a rather clear and worthy
pro.pose had been served. Prior to
this summer there had been no
political organization in which Ne-
groes could take part. We have
left behind an orgauization led
by local people and including lo-
cal, as well as state, representa-
tion. We have given educational
opportunities never before avail-
able in Mississippi, and in some
is it necessary to send out-of-town for this
printing service, as it was for a time after the
ded their new mechanized check, clearing

cases given the only edncation peo-
ple have ever had. Education is
('()illt)lllS()l'y for the white po])ula-
lion of Miss.. bill not for tile col-
ored. One lO-ye:u'-old Negro boy
who attended t)l~l classcs ha(l nev-
er been to sl:hool before. AI~(I
eonllnilniiy ceniers to be directe'l
by h)cal l~cot)le have been estab-
lished where educational and rec-
reational interests will be furth-
ered.
The price paid for carrying out
convictions has been great. In
McComb, Miss., 13 Negro churches
had been burned in a period of
six weeks this summer. Most of
these churciu)s had sanctioned Ci-
vil Rigifls work or had direct con-
fact with it (such as those where-
in freedom school classes were
held). And three young men, Mic-
key Schwerner, James Chancy, and
Andy Goodman, lost their' lives
in serving the work of their con-
victions. I would like to think that
something was accomplished and
that tlleir deaths were not without
profound meaning and intplication.

weeks Miss Koenig will write

iences this past summer).
TIIE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYEl~
One morning I was singing
"SweeL Hour of Prayer", and the
thought came to me, prayer is
such a wondetfful privilege, so
wonde~$ul to have God to lean
upon, to bring all our troubles to,
and to feel his comforting hand
and to read his precious word at
all times, especially when we have
trials and tribulations.
The world is dark and misera-
ble without the hope of eternal
life, and if we had no one but
people to give us comfort, it would
be appalling as they have the
same kind of trials the world over
that we have.
Matthew 11-28 Christ said:
"come unto me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I ,~ill
give you rest."
How all need that rest.
How the whole world needs to
see the light shining in darkness.
That light is Christ Jesus. He is
there all the time, ready and wait-
ing for all to come to him. Dear i
ones do not put it off any longer.
There is no future in the worldly
life. It is empty and void without
the saving knowledge of Christ
and His wonderful promise.

town baseball team is in the [] [] []
process of being formed in Shel-
ton either during the month of
May or early June of 1965. The
Shelton team will enter the "Tim-
ber League" which, at the pres-
ent, consists of six teams. With
tim Shelton and Aberdeen teams
also joining this next summer,
there would be a total of eight
teams in the league.
We hope to get donations from
our Shelton merchants and any
other organization wishing to help
sponsor Shclton's town team.
It has been a number of years
since Shelton has had a town team,
~,nd with Shelton g~;owing as it is,
I am sure the people of Shblton
would like an opportnnity to see
some good baseball games.
We hope to have a good response
regarding this matter, m~d urge
all baseball players in~erested ut
participating next summer to con-
tact eiti]er Bill Dickie or Jerry
Mallory.

G ity To Purchase
A New Transit
The Shelton City Commission
authorized City Engineer Pat
Byrne to purchase a \new transit
to replace the one which was bro-
ken when it was tipped over by a
dog while being used on a city
street this summer.
Ti~e action came after the com-
mission was informed by Byrne
that the owner of the dog had in-
surance and that iL would pay
about $250 damage.
The new transit will cost be-
tween $560 and $650, Byrne said.
The commission voted to add li-
ability insurance for its employees
to the city insurance coverage.
The policy will cover everything
except false arrest insurance for
Police Officer~, which will be pur-
chased Under a separate policy.
A revised request on the vaca-
tion of Eleventh Street between
Birch and Laurel Streets from Mrs.
Lenore Callanan was received. The
revised request asks for vacation
of all of the street except the al-
ley.
