these generalities, there are many
other things that have caused her
to~form a strong attachment for her
work, but first let's get acquainted
with Miss Jean Ernst.
There's nothing formal about the
produce world. Miss Ernst is the
same way-intellectual, cosmopoli-
| tan, but informal. Like other mem
bers of her profession she has the
knack of putting new acquaintances
completely at ease, and they almost
Immediately form the impression
that she is not a stranger but some
one they have known for a long
while. 1t is customary in her bust
ness to know people by their first
names, and to everyone in the
trade throughout this country and
Canada, Miss Ernst is merely
Jean" It's nice name for
nice person, so let's call her that.
Jean isn't girl-she's woman,
and very charming one. She is
tall but somehow you get the idea
that it wouldn't make the slightest
difference about your liking her if
she were a midget or 10 feet high.
Jean is far too modest about her
accomplishments and refuses to let
her whole story be told. Her entire
business career has been Is years
with Urick & Hollis. She has had
no other business experience and
never worked for any other firm.
1t takes a lot of mutual respect and
admiration to establish that sort of
record.
Jean, herself, can't see anything
logical in the events that led to her
present occupation. Educated in
languages and music, she had no
thought of becoming a business
woman until the day Willis Urick
offered her job as his assistant.
But I've never had any business
training" Jean protested.
Mr. Urick explained that he was
looking for a person with that quail
ification. "I'll teach you the bust
ness because I want you to learn
it my way" he said.
Even today, Jean says that each
company has it's individual system.
About the only training helpful to
the beginner is a knowledge of stem
ography. 81 didn't have that,
said Jean, "but learned it after I
was in the business.
Jean accepted the position and
went to EE Centro for the lettuce
deal. She thought it was wonder
full, spending the winter in the
warm, clear weather on the desert
after cold, foggy days in Los An
geles. Later, upon finding that her
work required eight changes of ad-
dress a year, she became bit
doubtful. For a number of years
she committed between the West
Coast and Arkansas, with stops
Nogales international., 1944-04-14

Jean found the experience like be-
ing with old friends.
Occasional spells of frazzled
nerves and outbursts of temper
brought on by the quick pace of the
business do not keep Jean from con-
sidering dealing in produce an in
teresting occupation. 1t has fas-
cination all it's own, and while wom-
en- workers frequently talk about
getting away from it all, they sell
dom do. When they quit for any

Still Likes Job After Is
Topsy- -Turvy Years

The staff behind the front
office, specialists in the intricate
routine of the produce business,
are firm believers in the old say
ing about being seen but not
heard. In fact, these highly
trained executive employees are
so quiet and industrious the visi-
tor at a vegetable distributing
center is hardly aware of their
presence.
Only when the head of the firm
needs some data in a hurry is it
possible to see why the self
effacing members of the staff are
rated an essential part of the
business, and why their employers
consider them rare jewels. In the
twinkIing Of an eye Miss Jean
Ernst, who handles traffic for
Urick & Hollis, can provide any
desired information about the
company's many cars of tomatoes
that are sold to practically all
markets in the United States and
Canada.
Miss Ernst is recognized by the
Tomateros here as one of the most
competent workers who comes to
Nogales each year for the vegetable
deal. She graciously consented to
give the office employees viewpoint
of the produce business, with en-
phasis on feminine angles.
Not only does Jean Ernst like her
part in moving perishable fruits
and vegetables to market-she lives
it. Instead of feeling that she has
a job, she considers herself more a
member of a team. That is why
there is no such thing as regular
time or over time in the produce
business. When there is work to be
done, the office force turns in and
does it. Personal plans are always
secondary to the firms require
ments.
People who like to have certain
schedule of working hours wouldn't
be happy in this kind of a set-up.
Jean Ernst feels that it's strong
points outweigh it's weaknesses.
She is free to do anything she
chooses when her desk is cleaned up.
Next to the stock market, the busi-
ness of handling perishable vege-
tables and fruits moves faster than
any other profession, so there's
never monotonous moment.
Everyone in the offices is on an
equal footing, from the head of the
firm down to the office girl. Besides

well, she decided, "I've died and
they've taken me to the under
takers"
About five years ago Jean made
a business trip through the East

every city she met people with
whom her firm had done business
by phone and telegraph Though
she had never seen them before,

thing except marriage, they usually
go back to the trade after short
absence.
Jean no longer thinks about quit
ting. She is sold on her job and
her firm. She claims there is no
prsonal bias in her statement that
she considers her employer, Willis
Urick, the best salesman in the
trade
HE has been a wonderful macs
tro,' Jean says She remains eter-

nally grateful to Mr.. Urick for
teaching her the business, and for
his solicitous consideration through
out their long association.
Other old-timers in the Urick g.
Hollis office here for the. tomato
deal include Edna O'NGeara from the
Los Angeles office, and Guy Max
field. Both are tops in their work,
and most congenial and pleasant
with whom to be associated" Jean
proclaims.

pie reach the point where they
are financially independently, W.
B. Herring, chairman of the rural
acquaintance committee of the
Moss Point Rotary club, laid be-
fore Rotarians at the luncheon
meeting Thursday plans for pre-
liminary steps toward this goal.
Mr.. Herring stressed the need
of an education program both as
to the proper implements to use
for most efficient farming and as
to possible crops. Jackson eoun-
ty should not have n big mon
ey crop, he pointed out, but sew
eral crops a year.
Why bring in foreign crops?9
Mr.. Herring asked. Use what
the Lord gave us. We have an
ease of conditions here that most
states do not have. We don't have
to house cows in steam heated
barns six months out of the year
and feed them like they do in
Wisconsin OF Minnesota, but we
don't have cows. We could put
a fig crop in this county that
would equal at least one week of

New Rules For
Requirements OF
Lost Ration Books

Rules governing issuance of ra-
ton books to returned service
men will be applicable to re-
placements of lost books. Off
Gals of the Jackson County War
Price and Rationing Board an
nounced Thursday.
This means that when a book
is issued in place of one which
has been lost only the last stamp
or group of stamps which be-
came valid will be left in the
book by OPA officials. In the case
of a lost Book 3, only Airplane
stamp 2 will be issued in the book
as the last valid shoe stamp,
even though the book which
was lost contained Airplane
stamps | and 2. it was explained.
This will allow for the entire
group of red and blue stamps
which became valid at the most
recent date, however.
The regulations became effec-
tive this week.
I'VE feel that if nothing but
the most recent stamps are al
loved to the men returning from
the service those civilians who
have lost their books should not
be entitled to more" OPA at
taches declared.

High Water Submerges Roads, Slows
Traffic Throughout County Sunday

Little streams and creeks which
have been ignored for years stood
up on their hind legs Sunday and
became raging torrents, covering
fields and roads and threatening
to completely demoralize traffic
throughout Jackson county.
The impetus for this assertion
of might by hitherto aimless me-
andering waterways was a rain
which started with a light sprin-
kle Friday and progressed into
a cloud burst Sunday morning.
Traffic was considerably in
convenienced on all roads leading
into the Pascagoula- Moss Point
area. A delay of several hours
was experienced because of wa
ter over the road near V~ancleave
by workers on their way to work
at the shipyard. Traffic travelling
over the Pascagoula Ocean
Springs road was also delayed as
motorists waited for water COW
ering the highway several inches
to subside.
In two or three places along
the Pascagoula- Mobile highway
the road dipped under water
which rose so far above the road
surface as to wash over auto
mobile running boards. The old
Mobile highway leading into
Pascagoula from Highway 80 was
completely under water and only
the bravest-who were more than
likely in cars with high road
clearance-attempted to navigate
the route.
In the city of Pascagoula water
rushing through the canal which
crosses under South Pascagoula
street boiled over the sidewalk
to undermine several feet of the
concrete walk. In the Eastlawn
area, water was reported over
ermc OF the roads to a depth
of about two feet and Harrison
G.. Otis. project manager, said
damage was done by high water
to the temporary paving in the
Maritime IN nasine~RHaisch
According 10 officials of the
ice company, the rain was so
torrential and so steady and re-
ports of high water all over
town so impressive that few of
the ice trucks made deliveries.

and N railroads reported no dam
