THE APPROVAL OF the rec.
reational building project and ac-
cess hoad for Pascaguula marks
q milestone in its progress and
will add an impetus to the city's
development that will be hard te
measure. Two recreational build
ings, completely equipped, one
for white and one for colored, a
completely equipped city park
and Fairgrounds and the en-
largement Of the Beach Pavilion
apd installation Of dressing rooms
will give Pascagoula one Of the
most comprehensive and COM
plete developments in the state.
BUT NOW THAT WE ARE to
have these, we think we should
take a little time out and take
stock. The beach pavilion is go-
ing to be enlarged, and soon the
completion of the new sewer
lines will clear up the pollution
of the water that has made It
unfit for swimming. Isn't ii log
ical that in view Of these devel-
opments the beach proper should
be cleaned up, that trash can
should be placed along il for the
convenience OF our citizens and
TO aid in keeping il clean, that a
regular patrol should be inaugur-
sted by the police department 10
control vandalism ana the prac-
tice Of that subhuman specie Of
person who thinks il sport to
smash bottles where small chill
dren play2 Isn't it also logical
that, with fine city parks and
Fairgrounds, we should do a lit
tie scrubbing on the face of our
city which is anything but clean?
The city and health department
could invoke some sanitary reg
ulations and clean out some of
our tent and cardboard house
colonies, and clean up some of
our trailer courts. many of which
lack any sign OF sanitary facilities
and are a menace to the health
of the rest of our citizens. The
time to do these things, too, is
now.
