Jewels Valued
$1,000, Drugs
Reported Stolen

Two robberies marked the
weekend in Pascagoula with
more than $4,000 worth of Jew
elry stolen from the Gem Jewel
ny store and a small amount of
drugs taken from the Palace
Pharmacy.
The theft of the jewelry oc-
Cured Friday night when the
thief, or thieves, entered the main
street store by cutting the screen
and forcing open a side window.
Due to the fact that all stone
jewelry is locked in the safe, no
diamonds were taken. Missing
articles consisted OF bracelet and
locket sets, wedding bands,
watch and key chains and mems
masonic rings, c. H. Fox, man
ager, reported.
Mr.. Fox pointed out that moth
ing vas taken from the show
windows in which lights burn
until ten P. NJ, which would lead
to the belief that the robbery
had occurred early in the eve
min.
The robbery of the drug store
took place Sunday night when
the thief jimmied open a back
door locked with a night latch,
and entered. Only a small amount
of drugs was taken and nothing
else in the store was touched,
according to T. T. Justice, owner.
Both robberies were investi-
gated by Policemen Forde Cock
rell and F. j. Pemberton who
took finger prints and are work
ing on several angles connected
with the thefts.

The Roosevelt Truman ticket

by a landslide vote, as it did the
rest Of the state and nation. w.
M. Colmer was reelected Sixth
District Congressman by an
equally topheavy vote, and

Those were the highlights OF
the election Tuesday in jackson

To Have New
Arnold v. Walker
To Make Specially
OF Building Tugs

Designed for the building of
almost every type of marine
equipment. a new shipyard is
being opened in Pascagoula by
Arnold v. Walker, formerly of
F. B. Walker and Sons shipyard,
according to announcement made
by Mr.. Walker. Operated in
connection with the yard will be
the Arnold V. Walker Machine
Shop, which, at the time of pur-
chase by Mr.. Walker, was the
Pascagoula Machine Shop.
Actual work at the yard will
begin Immediately and it is ex-
pected that the first keel will
be laid in the next two weeks,
Mr.. Walker said. Steel tugs, steel
fish boats and steel barges will
be among the sea-going craft to
be built at the new Walker yard.
Tugs will be a speciality, he said,
and, in addition to building craft,
all types of repair and design
will be done. The yard is To-
Gated on the East bank of the
Pascagoula river about a half
mile South of the L. and N. rail-
road.
Utilities have been installed
and the yard will open with
about 80 or 40 employees. The
employment roles are expected
to expand to about 200, MI. Wal
ker said.
Mr.. Walker will also have a
tow boat and several barges for
the transportation of oil, he said.
Plans for the yard include
postwar plans for the building
OF small pleasure boats as soon
as the material is again avail
able, Mr. Walker revealed
For the past IA years, Mr.. Wal
ker has been a partner in the
Walker Shipyard which was
started in 1890 by the late F. B.
Walker and his sons, Arnold, Ber-
nard and John Walker. The re-
naming two brothers, with their
mother who is also a partner in
the business, will continue to
operate the Walker Yard.
Mr.. Walker purchased the ma
chine shop from J. H. Terre-
son. and C. w. Underwood will
