CIVIC LEAGUE.

The Civic League met Friday after
noon in semi-monthly session at Rec
Cross headquarters. Mrs. r. A. Bow
ers presided. The minutes of the
previous meeting were read by Mrs
Seay, the secretary. Mrs. Cowgirl, the
treasurer gave the financial status OF
the organization. Reports from the
various committees were heard and
sounded a cheering note, proving at
least small body of Pascagoula
citizenship is working to solve the
problems that point compelling finger
to the needs of this community.
Does Pascagoula want to stop or
does it want to go on? Does it want
progress or not? At the last meeting
there was motion duly seconded and
carried that the week beginning Dec.
5th be designated as Civic League
week. Boxes will be placed in the
various and most accessible stores to
receive donations, the names and
dues of persons who will out of sense
of duty, help the cause but who find
it impossible to attend the meetings
We are hoping that through this med
um there will be concerted action so
hat this little city should no longer
ag behind in the march of progress.
The League will again convene Friday,
November 26th.
