MELTON'S MESSAGE REACHING STUDENTS

Frank Melton spoke to the students of Cleveland High School recently, so I went
to the school and filed into the auditorium along with approximately 550
students to hear Mr. Melton.

His speech was inspiring. He told the students in no uncertain terms about the
misery and horror which follows drug abuse, and he was strong in his plea for
the students to stay away from drugs, to stay in school, to obey the rules of
society, and above all "to do the right thing."

As a citizen, I am thankful that we have men of Mr. Melton's caliber helping to
guide our youth. I hope that he will give this message to all of the students
in Mississippi.

The students paid rapt attention during the whole of Mr. Melton's speech.
