Increase In Drunkenness
Draws Ban On Sunday Sale
OF Alcohol In The County
Bon To Extend From Midnight Saturday
Until AM. Monday: Measure Is Neces-
sorry For Control. Sheriff Newmon SuYs.

Beginning Saturday. Sept. 9.
the sale of alcoholic beverages
will be prohibited throughout
Jackson county every weekend
from midnight Saturday until Z
am. Monday, Sheriff D. O. New
man announced this week.
The measure is being taken,
Sheriff Newman said, after con-
ferences with the Board of Su-
pervisors. other public officials
and citizens of the county, and is
due to the continued increase in
drunkenness and drunken driv-
ing on the week-ends.
I'VE have done everything pos
sible to get the operators of road
houses and beer parlors to coon
crate with us in using modera-
ton in the sale of alcoholic bev-
erages," Sheriff Newman said.
"Some have eooperated fully. but
the majority have not.
Il have taken this matter up
with the Board of Supervisors,
other public officials and citizens
and we all feel that there is no
cure for the situation except Sun
day closing"
Necessary statutes for the en-
forcement of the closing law al
ready exist, Sheriff Newman
said, and anyone found violating
it will be prosecuted and in adj
dition will have their beer and
wine license revoked by the State
Tax Commission on recommen-
dation of the sheriff.
Records at the county jail show
that persons were incarcerated
over the weekend, the biggest
majority for drunkenness, or vio-
lations stemming from drunken
ness.
The situation is hurting the
war effort in Pascagoula and in
addition the drunken driving on
our highways constitutes a men
ace to the lvies and safety of 9TH
er motorists and citizens, Sheriff
Newman said.
