Guest Speaker
AT Rotary Lunch

A. L. May, president of Per-
kinston Junior College, Perkin-

the weekly luncheon meeting of

nesday noon at the USO.
Prior to Mr.. Mays talk, Mrs.
Sydney Swan, chairman of the
Junior Woman's club committee
sponsoring the American Cancer
Society drive for funds in Pasca-
goula, made an appeal for sup
port of the drive.
Pascagoula's quota has been set
at $4,000, Mrs. Swan said. She

funds for research and combat
ing the disease.

ior high school, and freshman
and sophomore college. Due to
its setup and equipment Perkin-
ston is enabled to give the stu
dent more personal supervision
at a much lower cost than he
would receive in the first two
years of college, he said.

ton of his talk to Pan-American-
ism, and the long process of UNI
derstanding necessary to bring
about a firm foundation of rela-
tionship.

and introduced a number of
