The School Season
The school opening season always brings that refreshing air
of renewed interest in the education of our youth. The sight of
young people on the street with their books and brief case in
hand, journeying to school, makes the heart quicken and reach
out for the best for them in their various schools.
One calls to mind the hard and long struggle of those who
sought through the years to build up a creditable school system
for them. The old one-room shanty and country church, with no
desks, charts and other equipment, known to the modern school,
become relics of history.
These handicaps, which many of this generation surmounted,
are fast passing away. The call is for modern equipment and
well prepared teachers. In many communities the old order is
disappearing. Children are being carried to school centers by
bus, where they have access to excellent facilities, computer
teachers and wholesome games.
There is no wonder that leading educators all over the state
are up in arms against the tearing up of our public school system.
This system represents many years of trials and failures, with many
Milestones still to go in order to achieve the objective sought by
The early pioneers in the field of education.
In spite of the efforts of politicians, who superimposed what
might be a problem, into a full-bloom issue, there has not been
fanned a sufficient hysteria to sweep the state into a mood to vote
for the amendment abolishing the public school system.
The state as well as the community, owes an honest expression 
in behalf of the young people entrusted to our care and keeping. 
We have a public stewardship that cannot be denied or bypassed 
- and we will meet that challenge, and cross with intelligence 
that bridge when we reach it.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT,
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN
CHURCH MEMPHIS
Excerpts from te eulogy to the
te Mrs. J. E. Walker, wife of Dr.
E. Walker, President of Triate 
Bank and founder of the
nversal Life Insurance Comany... 
delivered Thursday.
September 23, 1954, at the Mississippi 
Boulevard Christian
Church.
When I learned Mrs. Walker had
passed, a conglomeration of
thoughts spilled through my mind.
I had been her pastor for 32 years.
I wanted a fitting subject and text
For her eulogy.
The morning of her passing I
said to the people with whom I live,
Mrs. Walker has passed."
Little Carol, seven years of age,
who calls me "Bop Pop," asked,
What did you say?"
I repeated. I said, "Mrs. Walker
is dead?
"OUR MRS. WALKER is dead?"
asked the curious child.
And so to Carol Mrs. J. E. Walker 
was "Our" Mrs. Walker. And
with lier usage of the term the
child conveyed the essence of the
relationship which existed between
Mrs. Walker and all who knew her
best. Carol had conveyed a truth
a simple... touching.
beautiful truth. She was indeed
"our" Mrs. Walker.
And so the subject of our eulogy 
today is "Our Mrs. Walker"...
just that... no more elaborate
subject is needed. No more appropriate 
subject could be selected.
For Mrs. Walker was "Our Mrs.
Walker" in many facets of our
lives. Her life was a part of our
lives. She belonged to so many
areas of our interests. She was
sours." The beauty of her personality, 
was ours. The generosity of
her ardent nature was ours. The
friendliness of her warm disposition 
was ours. The beautiful loyalty 
of her maternal instincts was
ours. The cerity, happiness, faith,
loveliness, purity of an unsullied 
spirit... all were ours. She
was Our Mrs. Walker." She belonged 
to us. She still belongs to us.
She belonged to her family.She
gave herself to them... to her
husband to her son, to her daughter 
to their helpmates, and to their
children. She was their friend, as
as their maternal focal point. The
role she lived with her family was
a multiple one. She was at once a
wife, mother, a grandmother, a
friendly counsellor, a matriarchal
port of comfort in the turbulent
sea of life. These multiple roles
made her, even to her family. "Our
Mrs. Walker."
Within the bosom of her church
she was "Our Mrs. Walker." For
she was the epitone of that humility 
of character which is able to
look humbly down from lofty
heights when others look upward
unto it. Though highly placed in
the esteem, admiration, respect, and
confidence of her fellow churchmembers, 
our sleeping sister in

Chirst, walked humbly with her
God... and accepted the directive 
of His Son to love her neighbors 
as herself. She loved others
and served her Maker with humility, 
that low, sweet root, from
which all heavenly virtues shoot.
She was always a little meeker
With the brother that was weaker
... she always thought a little
more of her neighbor... and a
little less of herself. She was to her
church... in all its departments
"Our Mrs. Walker."
Mrs. Walker possessed the crowning 
gift of every truly great wife
... she possessed the power to
stand in the background and provide 
the help and inspiration...
the endurance and loyalty... to
spur her husband on the scale the
heights of finance. Plumb the mysteries 
of big business, and build institutions 
of worth and renown out
of the thin air of ambition and the
intangible forces of determination
and vision. Always Mrs. Walker has
hovered solicitously in the shows
fringing the luminous constellations, 
known as the Universal Life
Insurance Company... with its
numerous branches... the TriState 
Bank of Memphis with its
Many ramifications... always
Interested in their minutest manifestations... 
but never obtrudeing 
her presence into the whirlpool 
of their activities. Yet all were
conscious of her presence. To the
hundreds of employes, and the
thousands of persons whose lives
were directly and indirectly influenced 
by the financial institutions
erected upon the genius of her husband 
and more and more sustained
by that of her son, she was "Our
Mrs. Walker." She possessed the
genius to do the right thing at the
right time with the right people.
She was Universal's "Our Mrs. Walker." 

To her community... in her
civic interests and activities...
she was not simply another interested 
citizen or designing aspirant
for recognition. She was "Our Mrs.
Walker." There was something about 
her which made others possessive. 
She possessed the qualities
Which made others desire to possess 
the same. People like to associate 
themselves with her virtues.
Persons in all walks of life saw
something of their better selves.
They saw something of their own
aspiration... to her city, then,
she was "Our Mrs. Walker." She belonged 
to her city.
And our Mrs. Walker will always 
be ours... as long as our
hearts beat with the pulse of life
and our memories retain our most
pleasant experiences. "Our Mrs.
Walker" provided us with pleasant
memories... and thus insured
her immortality here and above.
Thus on the cold cheek of Death
smiles and roses are blending, and
beauty, immortal, wakes from the
tomb.
"Our Mrs. Walker" has attained
that blessed immortality which

should fleck the hopes of all. And
that thought provides the balm in
Gilead which should be our comfort 
as we think of our "Our MRs.
Walker." the Psalmist has said.
"Thy rod and thy staff they comfort 
me." "Our Mrs. Walker" would
advise us to remember that now.
She now sups with the God of her
salvation where she can have the
most satisfaction with herself. She
now merely awaits our own coming
... that she may welcome us
again.

HOLLOW SILVER
By HELEN TOPPING WILLER
WHEN she was alone in a quiet
hotel room. Penn flew to the telephone. 
But there was no message
tor her from Kissel.
It was a long. Dreary afternoon.
Penn sat in the lobby with a magazine, 
not seeing the printed page,
trying not to think about Gil. She
went back to her room and did her
hair over and put on a clean
blouse. Then the telephone rang,
but it was her uncle's voice on the
wire.
"Looks as if I'm stuck here toning, 
Penn. Get yourself some
linner. Just sign the check. Go
to movie or something."
""I'll  all right, Uncle Elihu,
don't worry about me." She bought
the evening paper, searched it carefully, 
but there was no headline
reporting the loss of a submarine
Where was a two-column headline.
 Storey was in conference
with the governor, who blasted the
recent sinear comapign in Con 
as a political attach by the
 Hillard faction. At least
 Elihu was still in there
 There was no message
from Larry. Kissel. There was no
word when morning came.
"You want to go out and stay
with Grandma Houk?" Elihu
asked, when they were again
aboard a plane. "Roads seem to be
dry. No show out here yet. Tomorrows 
Thanksgiving-guess the
old lady would be glad to have
some company tor Thanksgiving."
Penn said: "I'll stay at the hotel,
I think. Of course, I'll go out and
see grandma and grandpa tomorrow. 
Maybe you can go, too, Uncle
Elihu."
"I'll see if I can arrange it. Holiday 
not-not much chance to get some
at the people I've got to talk to.
"Mending my tences." He laughed
 little.
As soon as her uncle was off on
sills own concerns, Penn hurried to
the newspaper office, the brown
develop under her arm. Barney
 was there. He was a long,
gaunt old man with beetling
brows.
Penn explained the evelope and
Patton opened it and took out
papers and a sealed tin box.
"Tape recording," he said.
"Caludia Mapes said you would
know what to do with all these
papers. Mr. Patton."
"Hm-looks like they haven't
got old Elihu licked yet. Went to
school with Elihu - Josh, too.
Who're you?"
"I'm one of the Houks. Wendell
Houck's daughter."
"Visiting the old folks? Give
old Rute the time of the day for
me."
"I will. Thank you very much,
Mr. Patton."
"Don't thank me. Thank Claudie
Mapes. Been waiting to get something 
on Josh Henning a long
time."
Penn went back to the hotel.
There was a yellow envelope in
her bod, and the key, she hurried

into a secluded corner of the lobby, 
ripped it open with shaking
fingers.
It was not from Larry Kissel
It was from Quincy.
It was a strange Thanksgiving
Day.
Old Mrs. Houk had been tearful
and tremendously excited when
penn arrived at the old brown
house in a taxi at 10 o'clock in
the morning
"My lands, how you've grown!
Now, don't tell me. Let me guess.
It's Quincy—no, it's Penn!"
Grandpa Houk came limping out
of the kitchen to hug Penn,
scratching her face with his
beard, as she had remembered.
"And you said there wasn't any
use baking a pie for hust us, ma,"
he laughed.
"I baked it, anyway. Mince pie,"
chirped the old lady, taking
Penn's coat. "But we've only got
chicken and dumplings. Why didn't
you let us know so pa could have
got a turkey?"
"I love chicken and dumplings.
Oh, grandma, it all looks the same!
The same old rocking chairs by
the stove—the same cushions
even."
"And the same old folks sittin'
in em, too. You come away out
here all alone?"
""No," Uncle Elihu came with
me. He's at the hotel with some
men he had to see. He said he
might run out to dinner if he could
get away."
"Better stir up some more
Dumpling, ma."
"I haven't stirred up any yet.
They go in the last thing. Now
you come straight out in the kictchen, 
Penn, with pa and me, and you
can sit by and tell us all the news.
How's Maude? She wrote me
about Gil's wife gettin' killed, but
I haven't had a word since. Terrible, 
wasn't it?"
"Quincy's getting married,"
Penn told them.
"Good sakes. Who to? Anybody
we know?"
"His name is Yates Underwood.
His grandfather is Myron Yates.
You may have seen the old man's
name in the papers. He was very
prominent in Washington."
"Have you seen his name, pa?"
"I forget. So many of them
prominent fellers now. Has he got
Any money?"
"Oh, yes, the grandfather is
quite wealthy and Yates is his
only family."
At 12 o'clock Elihu phoned. He
Talked to Penn.
"I've got a colonel and two public 
information officers on my
hands, Penn. Flew down from

Washington last night, so I can't
make it out there for dinner. Explain 
to the old talks, will you?"
"Any news from home?" she
inquired anxiously.
"No-haven't heard a thing.
Wasn't expecting to. You have a
good time. We might get away
from here in the morning."
She had shown him Quincy's
telegram at breakfast and his comment 
had been a dry grunt.
"Getting the old moose on our
Side, is she? Well, he can't live
forever. Young Underwood's all
right, I guess. Not much force in
him, but he's harmless."
There were no messages when
Penn returned to the hotel, nor
had her uncle come in. For a time
she debated telephoning home, but
gave up the idea. She could not
face finality where there might
still be hope.
She was sitting in her room,
Waiting, when the telephone rang.
But it was a woman's voice that
answered when she sprang to the
receive.
"This Miss Houk? This is Sophie
Swazey, Claudie Mapes sister.
My were we surprised to hear you
Were in town."
"Claudia spoke about you-I intended 
calling you before we left
but I've just come in"
"Well, I guess you heard the
radio. We just happened to turn
it on the local station-Barney patton's 
station, and there was
claudie's voice, just as plain-and
that Josh Henning ordered her to
get out. Of Elihu's office and she
talked back to him sharp and
plenty. The feller explained it was
a record that was being broadcast
here to set people straight on what
had gone on in that ordnance
business."
"That tin box," Penn remembered. 
"Don't explain-and don't
let your uncle know," Claudia had
warned. That old newspaperman's
eyes had glittered briefly when he
found the tape recording in the envelope, 
but would Uncle Elihu have
wanted it to be broadcast? Had
Claudia overstepped her responsibility, 
Done a rash and unpredictable 
thing?
At midnight there came a knock
On her door. She twisted quickly
Into her robe, turned on the light
and with that small, sick clutch of
dread that every new development
brought lately, she opened the
door a little way, The senator
stood in the hall, wearing his overcoat. 

"Hate to drag you out of a warm
bed, but we can get a plane out of
here in an hour and 30 minutes,"
he said. "Plane's on time, last report 
Get us home before noon tomorrow." 

She said only: "I'II be ready."
"See grandma?"
"yes, I spent the day with them.
They were disappointed because
You couldn't come."
"Had to finish up here I'll send
A boy for your bag.
