Contract Let For
Alterations On
New Health Office

The contract for the remodel
ing of the Alspach Infirmary,
prior to its transfer to the county
as Public Health Department
center, was let Monday by DIR.
w. L. Alspach to the Adco Con-
struction Company of Pascagoula
for 81, 1887.
The alterations are being made
in accordance with plans and
specifications by Carl Olschner,
New Orleans architect, which
were approved by the State
Board of Health. According to
the contract, the work is sched-
uled to be completed about De-
cember 10 and the health depart
ment will move into the building
on South Pascagoula street as
soon after the formal acceptance
by the county as possible, mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors
said.
A down payment of $4,000 has
already been made to DR.. Ais
pach by the board and when the
county takes over the building
the remainder, in the amount of
the cost of alterations, will be
paid.
The building, which is of red
brick construction, was completed
in January 1912. 1t presently
consists of % rooms, including
the offices and waiting room.
According to DR.. Alspach, the re-
modelling will principally involve
charging some of the rooms,
making about 10 rooms of the %.

Death Sentence
OF Wiley Upheld,
Execution Dec. z

The Supreme Court of Missis-
sippi upheld the death sentence
of Henry Lee Wiley, Negro, who
was tried and convicted in Circuit
Court of Jackson county on
charges of the attack-murder of
l3-year-old Nellie Opal Kicks a
year ago, and set the execution
date for December %, 1914, at the
court house in Pascagoula. The
states portable electric chair will
be brought to this county for the
first time for the carrying out
of this death sentence.
The Junior High school girl,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
Kicks, disappeared after she was
seen entering a picture show in
Pascagoula, early in the evening.
Thirty-six hours later her body
was discovered in underbrush of
a vacant lot on South Pascagoula
street. She had been bludgeoned
over the head, strangled with her
own underwear, which was
twisted about her neck, and at
tackled.
The intensified search for the
killer continued until February,
when the young negro, who was
under investigation in connection
with other crimes in the city, con-
fessed to the murder. He was
tried in spring term of Circuit
Court and sentenced to pay with
his life by Judge L. c. Corbin.
In the appeal for reversal of the
decision, Wiley maintained that
the confession was not voluntary
but given under threats by inves-
tigating officers. Court records
show that witnesses took the
stand during the trial to testify
that the confession was free and
voluntary"

Entertainment
Plans Discussed
AT Group Meeting

A movement on foot to bring
a series of diversified attractions
to Pascagoula for the residents
of this section was accelerated
Monday night when a tentative
program was presented and de-
tails of organization were dis
cussed at a meeting of Enter
tainment, Inc.
About so persons interested in
the bringing of well known ar
fists here took part in the dis
cussion led by Alton p. May,
chairman of the temporary or
g"anization committee, and Of
fered suggestions for further or
%ganization and plans of the as
ISOLATION.
In giving an idea of the ten
tative program, Mr.. May ex-
planned that it would include a
variety of programs featuring
musicians, lecturers, magicians
and dramatists, and pointed out
the advantage Pascagoula has in
being between Mobile and New
Orleans and will thus be more
likely to secure artists passing
through in case of a layover.
Also set forth at the meeting
was an underlying purpose of
the creation of Entertainment,
Inc. that through the bringing
of artists here interest in Gull
tural and educational diversion
will be stimulated and will re-
suit in the formation of local
dramatic and choral groups.
The number of charter mem
berships was limited to $50, by
a vote, including so for Pasea-
goula, so for Moss Point, and
so for the ingalls, ShipbuiIding
Corp. Through the purchase of
these charter memberships at
$40 each, carrying two season
tickets, a basic working capital
will be accumulated. Season tick
cts and individual tickets for
each performance will be on sale
to the public.
1t is hoped by the original or
ganizing committee in whom this
movement had it's beginning that
the organization will soon be in
working order so as to secure
the initial feature for the month
of December.

Federal Grants
Given To Schools
In P~ascagOula

The P~ascagoula school system
has received a federal grant of
S85,S30 for maintenance and OPP
GRAFTON for the 1944-45 school
session. Thomas R. Wells, SUI
perintendent of city schools, an
nounced.
The school system has also re-
ceived a grant of 81, $50 from the
government as one half of the
purchase price Of a school bus
to be used in the city. The bus,
which is already in operation,
transports approximately $50
children from the housing de-
velopment to Lake Elementary
school. This was neeeSsitated
BY the fact that schools nearby
which these children would or
dinarily attend have reached a
capacity on the 200 percent
usage basis, Mr.. Wells said.

Gulfport Commodores Tally In Final
Quarter To Defeat Panthers, 60

The indicated, united record
of the Pascagoula Panthers was
ended Friday night by the Gulf
port High school Commodores,
who edged out a 60 win over the
Panthers on the Gulfport Fair
ground gridiron.
An overflow crowd. including
hundreds of the Panther's Pasca-
goula supporters, filled the grand
stand and ringed the gridiron to
watch the tense, hardfought game
marked by the outstanding play
of the forward walls of both
teams.
Fumbles. due in part to hard
tackling, was the margin that
accounted for the Panther's de-
feat. It was a tumble that ended
a scoring threat by the Panthers
on the Commodore's five-yard
line IN the second quarter and it
was fumbles that spiked several
rallies during which the Panther
backs smashed through the Gulf
port line for good gains .
The game was a see-saw affair
for the first three quarters, with
the exception of the Panther scor-
ing threat, and neither team piled
up much advantage. However. in
the fourth quarter the Commo-
dores. spaked by Nick Pitalo,
star fullback, and Arlen Nihart,
