1t is now no secret that flying
bomb attacks upon London
came closer to disrupting that
great city'S life than the 1910
air blitz ever did. The German
attempt failed only because the
Nazis did not have the Air
Force to protect their bases and
eventually had them over-run.
One of the main detectives of
the American Air Forces is to
choke Germany to death by par
alyzing the Ruhr. AS a result of
the current German offensive
the Ruhr certainly is no closer
to our ground forces than it was
three months ago. Many more
months of hard fighting are in
prospect before it feels the
weight of Allied guns. At the
same time winter is curling the
Allied Air Forces. But the worse
the weather the better the fly
ing bomb works, and every part
of the Ruhr could be within
range Of Allied flying bombs. In
all the world there probably is
no better target for flying
bombs than the Germans JAM
packed industrial centers. Fur
thermore we have the planes
to protect launching sites from
aerial attack.
The value of the flying bomb
is one-half damage and one-half
psychological effect.
No factory can maintain full
production with the workers

flying bombs night and day. Air

Kwasniewski's drinking and
living habits had worried and
embarrassed her policeman hus-
band. He stalked her and Kotiel
to the cabin late at night, shot
her and wounded Kotiel.
The charges were summed up
this morning by Chief Assistant
Prosecutor Fred Van Fleteren in
an argument lasting two hours
and IS minutes. Following the
prosecutors plea for conviction
Of the ex-patrolman, Judge Cash,
of Alma, charged the jury which
retired just before noon.
The case involved a sordid
shooting affray in which not
only was Mrs. KwasniewSki
slain but in which the man found
by her husband in her company
was seriously wounded. Kotiel
appeared as a prosecution wit
ness in the case. 1t was in his
home that the blaze of gunfire
initiated the case against Kwas-
niewski whose defense counsel,
Ivan A. Johnston and Will CO.
hen, have insisted was caused by
a temporary mental lapse
brought about by emotional
strain. They charged that Mrs
Kwasniewski, by her continued
and callous disregard for the
feelings of her husband, had
made it impossible for him to
distinguish right from wrong at
the time of the murder. They
produced a long string of wit
nesses attacking the character
of the dead woman.
Kwasniewski, a veteran Of l8
years service with the Ham
tramck police department, gave
himself up to fellow officers inn
mediately following the shoot
ing. His own testimony provided
one highlight of the trial and
presented to the jurors his story
of the events prior to the out
burst. He said that he had fol-
lowed his wife and Kotiel to two
bars and later to the Kotiel cot,
tage where he said he found the
pair in a compromising situation

East Moss Point Baptist Church
Was Founded By Pastors In 1890

tober IL, 1896. The following
week a crew of workmen began
demolishing the building 10 use
the lumber in the construction of
the present building erected on
the Seamen school site facing
Highway 80.
During the past year the pres
ent building has been completed
with the building of several Sum
day school rooms and a modern
baptistry. The present house of
worship consists of a main audi
torium equipped with new mod
ern pews with seating space for
800, four class rooms. choir space,
and large porch on the main
floor. The concrete basement
contains seven class rooms, kitch-
en-, and large hallway used for
church socials and banquets. In
1889 a beautiful pastorium was
erected on the church property
adjacent to the church. Both the
church and the pastorium are
equipped with natural gas.
The growth of the church has
not been rapid. In 1893 the Bay
GU Casotte Church consolidated
with New Prospect church with
II members, New Prospect had
26 members, three of whom are
still living and still hold mem
berships with us. They are Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Hudson and Mrs.
Joe Wilkerson. Five years ago
the membership was 1859. Our
present membership is 72l. The
name of the church was changed
in conference February 6, 1921,
from New Prospect Baptist
church to East Moss Point Bap-
fist church.
Since then the following have
served as pastors: Revs. w. ].
Peters. j. ID. Crosby, J. N. Cow
art, L. |. Thomson, H. l.. CASTOR,
S. j. Rhodes, A. L. Mays. F. d.
Hickman, o. O.. Haley, w. A.
Murray, and the present pastor,
Rev. Monte A. Davis. who moved
on this field July, 1899. The
church is well organized and has
a progressive program for Christ
The pastor stresses tithing as the
Scriptural way Of financing the
Lords work. Total gifts to the
Lords work last year amounted
to $40, co., this year il will be
over $12.000.00

copalians of that community had
received the ministrations of
previous Rectors.
St.John's church was consecrat-
ed by the Bishop of the Diocese
February l, 1914. In 1922 the
Rev. John Chapman bade his
leave to st. Johns and was sue
ceeded by the Rev. Charles l..
w. Reese. In 1926 he was sue
eeeded by the Rev. John Beean,
who in turn was succeeded by
the Rev. Edward G. Maxted. Dur
ing these years fine growth oil
the church was slow but it gained
steadily through the years.
On April |, l94l, the Reverend
Friedrich S. Resch, serving at that
time at Gulfport, Miss, accepted
the call TO st. Johns and became
its sixth Rector. He is the pres
ent Rector and his rectorship is
characterized by consolidation
and progress. st. Johns boasts
of a Sunday school that is open
the year around. The Sunday
school, though small, is neverthe-
less very active and Is an inte-
gral part of the church's life. The
COMMUNICATE list stands at Ill
confirmed persons who are ac-
tive in the church's work. The
service at st. Johns are as fol-
lows: 7:30 am, Holy Commu-
MON; 1000 am, Sunday school,;
HOO am. morning prayer and
sermon, the first Sunday of the
month this service being Holy
Communion and sermon.
st. Johns opens its doors to all
who desire to come TO worship
God in the quiet and peace of His
House, where the distractions
and sorroms of a busy world are
swallowed up in the higher real
ism that God is our Father and
we are His children.

around thirty to an average of
about l25. The church member
shi is nearly 100, increasing to
this from the original II.
We believe that the Sunday
school is one of the most vital
departments of the church. Spe-
cial emphasis is put upon the
teaching of the Word of God to
our boys and girls as well as the
adults. Mr.. Jack Calhoun is the
superintendent of the Sunday
school with a very efficient staff
of teachers.
The Young Peoples Society is
another outstanding feature of
the church. The young people
use their talents not only in the
weekly meetings, which are each
Sunday evening preceding the
evangelistic hour, but r busily
engaged in visitation and home
mission work. Mr.. James Walk
er is president of this group with
Miss Bess Bunch, program chair
man.
The Missionary Society of the
church has done commendable
work. They have tasted and
prayed and given to the cause
of missions. They have two reg
ular meetings a month, one of a
business nature which meets at
the church and the other in va
rious homes of the members of
the society. We believe in carry
ing out the divine command of
Jesus-"Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every
ereasure-" Mrs. E. Jackson is
president of this group with
Mrs. l.. S. Polk superintendent of
study.
The church plans to build up
its membership in Christian ex-
perience and holy character, in
struct them in the doctrines of
the church and to bring about
the salvation of the lost in Pas
cagoula.
Locally, we plan to increase u
Sunday school 100 per cent with
in the next few months, by cons
tacting the mass of unchurehed
people who live in this city, with
other departments steadily in
%creasing.
We plan to support our educa-

of a church building was begun
by the then 81 communicates,
under the direction of the Rev.

building, in use today, is a neat
frame structure, painted white,
or simple Gothic lines, with
stained glass windows, a porch
entrance on the east and a vestry
on the south side of the sane
tuary.
The Rectory was built during
the tenure of the Rev. Edwin ID.
Weed. in 1904, and is located just
back of the church, at 345 Live
Oak street. The Rev. Edwin
Weed was the first resident min
lister in Pascagoula. During his
tenure he was instrumental in
not only building the Rectory
but also in establishing st. Al
bans at Moss Point which Mis-
sion became inactive about 1920,
its members transferring TO st.

the Rev. John Chapman in 1906,
