Thanksgiving Proclamation

@As we approach Thanksgiving Day again. sincerely
urge that we do so with a full realization of the spiritual impli-
cation of the day. Although Thanksgiving is a traditional
holiday, | hope that our people will experience new depths
of thankfulness and new understanding and appreciation
of the benefits and blessings of life as we are privileged
to know life.
These critical times have brought new burdens to us
but our seen and unseen blessings still abound. Day unto
day adds to the promise of another day in which liberty,
justice, right and peace shall prevail in the relationships of
men at home and throughout the world. We can best show
our thankfulness. by rededicating our loyaties to the highest
and best impulses in life and by humble and sincere ex-
preston of gratitude to the hand that has guided us, the
heart that has loved US and the eye that has kept watch
over us.
1.-THE president of the United States has urged that we
read the Holy Scriptures from Thanksgiving until Christmas
as evidence of our thankfulness ard as a token of our desire
to know Gods will for US in these days. | implore our people
to give heed to his admonition.
sIn order that all Mississippians may have the opportunity
of together expressing their thankfulness and gratitude, /,
Thomas L. Bailey, do hereby set aside and proclaim Thursday,
November %, as Thanksgiving Day and do earnestly urge the
people of our state to offer solemn and sincere expression of
thankfulness and gratitude to Almighty God for the gifts and
blessings he has bestowed upon us and call upon them to
seek divine guidance for our state and nation in our use of
His gifts to us and in preparation for the tasks which will be
our when peace comes"

Seafood Supper
Given By Rotary
Club For Ladies

Wives and friends of Pasea-
goula Rotarians honored
last Thursday evening when the
club observed annual ladies'
night with a seafood supper at
the Pascagoula High school cafe
terra.
Provided for the enjoyment of
the members and their guests
was not only a fine supper
ranging from oyster and shrimp
cocktail to filet of trout but a
program of music, speeches and
informal talks.
Roland b. Anderton, toastmas-
ter for the occasion, introduced
each Rotarian present who in
turn introduced his guest. The
address of welcome to the guests
was made by Alton p. May, pres
ident Of the club, and the re-
spouse was given by Mrs. John
S. Abbey president of the Wom-
ans Club of Pascagoula, who led
the ladies in a message of thanks
to the Rotarians.
Musical entertainment was pro-
vided by Miss Gene Eason who
offered a piano medley of sew
eral songs of the World War |
period. A novelty of the evening
was the one-man band perform
anee given by M. +. McRay who
played six instruments at one
time.
Guest of the Club and princi-
pal speaker for the evening was
Rev. John Moore of McComb,
Miss, who in his address proved
most interesting as well as en-
pertaining. In addition to a num-
Der of anecdotes, Rev. Moore
gave some helpful and funda-
mental rules for making a sue
cess of life"
The program was brought to
4 conclusion with a benediction
offered by the Rev. J. c. Crane.
In charge of the evening of IN
teftainment was a committee, of
which Baylous Stokes was chair
man, composed of Warren Me
Cleskey, Roy Owens and Harri-
son Otis. Roses used as table
decorations were furnished and
arranged by Mrs. H. H. Cole.

Rev. Auberf Dunn
Addresses Moss
Point PTA Group

Every mother should assume
a missionary role and bring her
neighbor to PTA, for the benefit
of all school children" said Rev.
ALBERT Dunn at the meeting of
the Moss Point Parent Teacher
Assertion Tuesday.
He also pointed out that due
to the conditions caused by the
war, higher wages and higher
cost of living, rearing and guild
ing children was a challenge and
a trial to the maternal instinct.
With millions of dollars being
spent on educational equipment
in the United States" he con
tinued, the parents, not the
teachers, are to be questioned if
our children do not get an edu-
cation
After the business Of the PTA
was concluded by Mrs. Z. j. Lind
sey, president, a musical program
was presented by members of the
High school band.
Offering several numbers were
a clarinet trio composed of Mary
lyn Marie. Mary Martin and Ed
ra Mayes; woodwind quartet COM
posed of Marylyn Mare, clarinet,
j. c. Cunningham, oboe, Joyce
Nelson, flute, and Wandawie
Rogers, flute. j. c. Cunningham

, Dressed as farmerettes were
Winifred and Frances Miles. who
did a tap dance and routine to
Last Night on the Back Porch"
They were accompanied on the
piano by their mother, Mrs. r. l..
Miles.
Following the program a room
count was made and the prize of
half a holiday was given to the
second grade. A new rule was
that before a room wins a half
holiday at least twenty-five per-
cent of the mothers of that room
must be present.

eerned, the outer Empire-and
the men who defend it-are the
expendables. The Jap will fight
the battle from the inside of the
inner Empire.
In the invasion of Europe, sup
ply ships had an overnight run
to make. In the coming battle
OF Japan. ships in the Pacific
will have round trips to make
that often take as long as five

LOCAL UNION OFFICIALS
moved quickly last week to put
a stop to intimidation of private
contractors in Pascagoula, and
thereby did unionism a good
service. Two negro painters were
painting a house on S. Pasea-
goula street when two white men,
masquerading as union agents.
asked to see their union cards.
When informed that the two
men were independent contrac-
tors they We're ordered to stop
work. Word of the action was
carried to B. Selease, business
agent of the Painters Union, and
E. l.. Maneil, president of the
local A. f. OF l.. council, who
Immediately sent word to the
men that the union was in no
way connected with the incident
and to resume work. The action
of the union officials is right,
proper and as it should be. This
is still the United States. and
the right of choice is one of the
basic principles of the indi-
viduals freedom.
