City Drive Stonds
At $4,000; Is Only
One-Third Of Quote

Pascagoula's Community War
Fund Drive was tagging badly
on the basis of incomplete re-
ports this week.
With quota of $4,000, of
which $4,000 is the War Fund
quota and $63,00O the Recreation
Fund quota, total collections re-
ported Wednesday totalled APP
proximately $4,000. including
$4,000 donation to the recre-
alton fund by the ingalls, Ship
building Corporation, only one
third of the total quota.
The drive will be continued
next week in an effort to raise
Pascagoula's share of the S1S0, c00
recreation program, $4,000 of
which is grant by the federal
government.
1t was again pointed out by
members of the recreation COM
mission that Pascagoula will not
be able to touch the $4,000 fed
eral grant until the 'city's share
of the program is raised.
$4,000 At ShipYard
Collections at the ingalls, Ship
yard were reported at approx
mately $4,000, and it was pre- .
dicted that the figure will reach
at least $4,000 before the drive
is completed.
M. l.. Funkhouser reported
collections among merchants and
small industries in Pascagoula as
$4,000, with indications that this
also will be materially increased
before the drive is completed.
Mrs. J. o. Cole, said that re-
ports from eight workers in the
OCD block system which is can
vassing city residences reported
total collections $607. A number
of workers, however, had not
completed their reports at this
writing.
One bright spot in the drive
was its progress in the city's
schools. One elementary school
reported collections of over $500
and Thomas r. Wells, school SUI
perintendent, said that the schools
will top their quota of $4,000.
Mr. Wells, in an open letter
this week, also appealed to the
citizens of Pascagoula to support
the drive and aid in putting it
over.
"It seems unbelievable" he
said "that such a worthy project
should be allowed to fail be-
cause of the lack of little fl
nancial support from those indi-
viduals who would directly bene-
fit by the successful completion
of such a project"
The proposed program would
give Pascagoula two community
houses, one for white and one
for negroes, three parks and in
clude the enlarging of the Mu-
nicipal Beach Park and installa-
tion of additional facilities there,
and would be one of the most
comprehensive and outstanding
programs of this nature in the
state.
The need for such a program
was brought out at the Pepper
hearing here last December and
Federal approval of the project
is largely based on evidence
brought out at the hearing.

hicles and plain, ordinary jalopies
intermingle in the line. A suggestion
has been made that companies
operating large fleets Of trucks. such

set up their own inspection services
for the duration. But it's against the
law. Trafiic Director william Van
Duzer said it would require an act
of Congress to permit such procedure
Daily Quota Of 600.
There have been reports Of unrest
among the inspectors, who, it wa.
said, were anxious to quit and seek
more lucrative jobs. Today, however
no one was in talkative mood. They
concentrated on the job of getting
or trying to get, the daily quota of
600 cars through the line. That
figure takes in inspections at both
the northeast and southwest sec.
tions
Basic salaries for inspectors range
from 81 $50 to 81 800 a year, but with
overtime they 60 $500 higher. Vaca-
tions apparently are out for the
duration, although the men are en-
titled to rs days annually. Mr.. Van
Duzer said men were given time Oh
whenever possible, but he indicated
that with 26 men lost to the armed
services there wasn't much leisure
time for the Is left.
Repair System Helps.
Mr.. Van Duzer, who hasn't heard
of any unrest among the inspectors
thinks the jobs still are pretty good
berths for the average mechanic
what with retirement benefits, an
nual leave and sick leave.
The system inaugurated in April
1943, of permitting motorists to have
minor repairs made at a private
garage, which then mails in a card
certifying the repairs have been
made, helps some. But repairs in
