Russians Praise
u. S. Industry On
Visit To ingalls,

There is a marked similarity
between the natural economic
standards and resources of Rus
STA and the United States and in
dustrial development follows the
same linesin both countries, in
the opinion of three Russian en-
gineers who visited the ingalls,
shipyard for several days last
week. These men have been in
America for the past four months
working with the Government
Purchasing Commission of the
Soviet Union with headquarters
in Washington.
They are B. A. Khokhlov, V. l.
Pavlieuchenko and A. j. Strash-
ko.
Spokesman for the group,
Khokhlov, who carried on his
conversation through A. Spolin-
sky, ingalls, research engineer
who acted as interpreter, declined
to comment on the nature of the
business which prompted the visit
but was voluble in his praise of
American industry in general and
the shipyard in particular.
The men r outstanding spe-
cialists in their field.
I'VE like the United States for
many reasons" Khokhlov said
while his companions grinned
unanimity of opinion. I'VE like
the high standard of production
and the high standard of living.
We like the people of America
because they are kind, honest
and industrious and wherever we
have met them. the reception Civ
en- us has been very enthusiastic
In speaking of post war Rus
STA, Khokhlov declared that the
technical abilities of the Russian
people have been proved by the
way in which they were able to
withstand the severe test of trans
ferring, with the highest efficien-
ey, a greater part of industry from
west to east, thus meeting the
greatest challenge ever confront
ed by any industrial country.
They were introduced to Miss
Vera Anderson, national woman
welding champion and expressed
deep interest in her accomplish
ments, explaining that in the So
Wet Union women are producing
side by side with men in all
phases of war activity and the
woman worker is greatly honored
by the country.

Persons Bitten By
Dog Should Receive
immediate Treatment

A bite from a dog or any other
animal carries the danger of ra-
bies. Therefore anyone who is
bitten should notify his doctor
and health department immedi-
ately. Antirabic treatment should
be given to anyone bitten by a
dog proved to be rabid from dag
nosis or examination, or to those
who handled or cared for the
animal.
1t is not easy to tell by a dogs
behavior that he is rabid. A dog
which has bitten a person should
not be killed but should be locked
up and turned over to health au-
thorities so that the animal may
be kept under observation.
Rabies develops in humans
from two weeks to several
months after the bite. The in
lection travels along nerve routes.
The closer the bite is to the brain
the sooner rabies may develop.
Persons bitten on the face, head,
or neck should receive antirabic
treatment Immediately without
waiting for laboratory observa-
ton of the dog.

Schools Near
Top In State
EorlY Enrolment In
County Schools
Shows Increase

Enrolment in the schools OF
jackson county bids fair to top
all previous figures, according to
indications of early reports on
registration for the 1944-45 school
session.
Although returns on enroll
ment in tine rural school were not
complete, every evidence was
that there were gains in the ma
jority of schools. Moss Point e
ported a gain of about so stu
dents in the school system and
Pascagoula schools showed a 80
percent increase over the last
years figures.
Opening with the largest en-
rollment in history, the Pascas
goula public schools showed a
total white enrolment of 3,7iS
and a negro enrolment Of 222,
a total enrolment of 3945. This
compares with an opening en-
rollment of 1904 in the white
schools for the preceding year
and Isl in the negro school, a
total of 1855. The current year
shows an increase of 1890 over
last year.
AT the rate .enrollments are
coming in, Thomas r. Wells, SUI
perintendent of Pascagou1a
schools said, it is expected that
this figure will go over the 1000
mark.
The Pascagoula schools ranked
third in the state for the past
year and in addition to taking
this place again this year is Of
fering a stiff challenge to the
schools of Meridian for second
place. The Jackson schools lead
the schools in the state by a large
majority, having between 1900
and 10000 students. The Pasca-
goula schools are far ahead of
other Gulf coast schools in en-
rollment, according to tentative
figures. Gulfport has a registra-
ton of approximately 1900 and
Biloxi of $4,000. Mr.. Wells an
nounced.
In addition, Our Lady of Vic
tories school reported a registra-
ton of $40 students, so of these
being in high school, and st. Pc
ter the Apostle, school for ne
groes has an enrolment of 142.
Moss Point Shows Increase
In Moss Point the enrolment
has reached 1892 in the white
schools and $40 at the Magnolia
High school for negroes. The
Moss Point High and Junior High
schools have an enrolment of
465, the Charlotte Hyatt school,
376, and the Ed Mayo school, 191.
In the Pascagoula system, in
dividual schools are as follows:
South Elementary school, 827;
Central Elementary school, 1927;
Lake Elementary school. 200:
Beach Elementary school, 339;
Junior High school grades z and
81, 666; High school (grades g.
12), STA.
An adequate number of teach
ers had been provided for orig
inal enrolment anticipated, MI.
Wells said, but since enrolment
figures have u far beyond the
number expected the system
needs additional teachers. Any
trained teacher who is interested
in a position is requested to con-
tact school officials, Mr.. Wells
said. The present staff consists
Of 1l3 white teachers and seven
negroes.
"As in many other congested
areas" Mr.. Wells said, ct has
been necessary to utilize the
school plant on a more than 200
percent basis by the operation of
shifts ana transference of pupils
from more congested areas to
schools in less crowded areas. BY
this device it is hoped that the
school system will be able to Of
fer educational opportunities to
every child"
