September Designated Go To Church
Month BY Ministerial Association

September has been designated
Go to Church" month by the
Pascagoula Ministerial Associa-
tion with the aim of having every
church member in the city at
tend the church of his faith at
least once during the course OF
the month.
The campaign will be culmin-
aied with special services in vir-
tually every church in the city on
Sunday, October |, which is Uni
versal Communion Sunday.
On September 20, the Friday
before Universal Communion
Sunday. the Chronicle-Star and
Advertiser. which is sponsoring
the campaign, will publish an
edition carrying history and
picture of all the churches of the
city.
In addition approximately 1000
automobile stickers will be issued
advertising the campaign, and a
large sign has been erected at
the entrance of the ingalls, ship
yard.
Aim OF Campaign
"There are thousands of church
members in Pascagoula," it was
explained by members of the AS
ISOLATION" who have come here
from other parts of our state and
nation and have not affiliated
themselves with the local church
of their faith.
Our aim is to have these per-
sons attend the church of their
faith at least once during the
next four weeks. and hereby be-
come acquainted with the local
pastor and members of the local
church. We hope that this will
be an incentive to these persons
to again resume regular church
attendance.
Each week during the month
the Chronicle-Star and Advertis-
er will also publish a special ar
ticle by local pastor. The first
of these, ''The Foundation of the
Church" by the Rev. J. +. Brant-
ley, pastor of the Watts Memorial
Baptist churchs. will be found on
page two of this issue.
Other articles will include,
Message of the Church" by the
Rev. Roy F. Clark, pastor of the
Eastlawn Methodist church; mis-
sion of the Church" by the Rev.
P. j. Carey, pastor of Our Lady
o. Victories church; Value of
the Church." by the Rev. j. c.
Crane. pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, and Hope of
the Church." by the Rev Ken
meth Irwin. pastor of the Assem-
bly, of God church.
II was also announced by the
Ministerial Association that the |
same procedure will be followed |
on the announcement of the fall |
of Germany that was followed on |
the o. Day invasion.
Ringing of church bells will |
mark the announcement, and |
PRAYER services will be held in |
all churches of the city at 8 p. /
m. that evening. Special prayer |
services will be carried over loud |
speakers to the workers at the
ingalls, shipyard.
Sheriff d. O. Newman has also
announced that saloons will be
closed following the announce
ment.

Early Figures Promise Increase In
Enrolment; Schools Prepare To Open

With the opening enrolment
figures indicating an increase in
school attendance over last year,
schools of Pascagoula and Moss
Point prepared to open today with
classes scheduled to begin Mon
day.
Today is also the official open
ing date for schools throughout
the county and faculty meetings
and a general county teachers
meeting held during the week
marked preliminary steps. in. the
beginning of the 1914 As term.
Carrying the largest enrolment
of all county schools, early fig
ures at the Pascagoula schools
gave promise of a 20 per cent
increase above the maximum
enrolment for the last school ses-
sion, Thomas R. Wells, superin-
tendent of the Paseagoula schools
said.
With the actual opening of
school several days. away 3.l70
white children have already. en-
rolled in Pascagoula schools.
This promises to be increas-
ed by several hundred by
Monday. September II This com
pares with the ninth month en-
rollment of last year of 2,774. All
schools are operating on a double
shift basis and assignments to
shifts must of necessity be made
on an arbitrary basis by school
principals and faculties. Every
consideration possible is being
made for children from the same
families to be on the same shift,
and similar considerations will be
kept in mind. but parents are
urged to refrain from asking for
the transfer of children from one
shift 10 another as it is impossible.
II is believed that the elemen-
tarv school facilities will be ade-
quate to care for all children en-
rolled by utilizing every class
room in the system on a double
shift basis. However. this will
entail the transporting of from
100 to 200 school children from
one Of the more remote sections of
the Eastlawn Housing Project to
the Lake avenue school in the
north part Of town. The seventh
and eighth grades will work on a
split seedule with all eighth grade
students IN the morning and all
seventh grade students in the
afternoon. The Senior High
school program will begin at 7:30
am, and continue until 500 pm.
Students reporting for school at
7:30 will be through at 400 pm.
Those reporting at 830 will be
out at 400 pm. and those re-
porting At $50 will be out at 500
pm. This schedule will give
every student at least four class
periods. a study period and
period for physical education. The
size Of classes will be held to an
average Of thirty This schedule
viii allow the local high school
to meet the requirements of both
the State Accrediting Commits
sion and the Southern Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools

All students are requested 70

FRIDAY, September 81. Some stu
dents will be released by noon
today but 1t will be necessary for

fieation in the afternoon.
Thirty-eight new teachers have
been added to the staff of the
White public schools for this year.

transmutation of wood would have
been sensational news, electrifying
most of us. But now we take it more
or less for granted. We have be-
come accustomed to such things.
We have searched into the heart
of nature so long and learned so
much that nothing greatly surprises
or excites us any more. We are the
creatures of the radio age, of the
age Of the auto and flying machine.
With our inventions we have an
initiated space and time; with
what we know of the fundamental
building blocks of life and matter,
with our vast erudition in the fields
Of chemistry and physics, we have
achieved miracles without end, to
such an extent that they leave us
without any real sense of wonder
ment, as if they were as common
place as breakfast.
And probably as remarkable as
this lack of Wonderment is the fact
that man, whose brain has been
capable of bringing all the magic
forth, has yet failed to learn how
to live with it IN peace and content
ment. We are not a happy race,
despite the great material things
we have built around us. Is that
why we are apathetic when we read
about developments like the trans
mutation of wood? Are we left rela-
lively unexcited because we sense
that although we have solved much
of the mystery of nature and har-
messed many of its wild and unseen
forces, we have at the same time
complicated the problem of living
and made such evil as war. when
it breaks out, more terrible than
ever because of our prodigious in
ventiveness?
The question is one for the phi
losophers to ponder. Perhaps some
day, besides mastering chemistry
and physics, humankind will master
the violence inherent in it's own soul
and fashion world society in which
works of genius will not be the bitter
and spiritually sterile irony they
sometimes seem to be now.

Cracking and RoofIess

Although OverShadOWed by the
awe-inSpiring force of our Allied
bombing offensive in the west, our
air operations in the Balkans are by
no means an insignificant sideShow.
On the contrary, as Secretary Slim
son has just suggested, they repre-
sent development of major impor-
tance directly related to the Red
Arny's drive in Romania.
In effect, by striking from our
bases in Italy against such key tar
gets as Sofia, Bucharest. PloeSti and
Budapest, our bombers are acting in
immediate support not of British or
American ground forces but of Rus
sian ground forces. and the fact
that they are at last able to do so,
on an ever-increasing scale, marks
what amounts to a new phase in the
war-a phase in which our western
military power moves eastward for
the first time to mesh closely with
that of the Soviets moving westward.

ment means that we are now giving
direct combat aid of a highly effec-
tive kind to the advancing Red
Army. For by blasting away at these
Balkan Objectives, we are smashing
supply dumps and disrupting rail
and other communications facilities
vital to the Nazis in their effort to
hold back the surging Russian tide.
Nor is this something which we are
doing on our own as a sort of impro-
visation carried out without consul
tation with the Soviet high COM
mand. 1t is, instead. a carefully
planned part of the overall strategy
worked out with the Russians for
concerted Allied action in the Bal
