Pascagoula And Moss Point Observe
We Day With Sobrieiy And Prayers

The whole-hearted abandon-
ment to the joy of the armistice
26 and a half years ago ending
the first World War brought on
by the Germans was notably alb
sent from the celebration of the
second defeat of Germany Tues
day in Pascagoula and Moss
Point which was, instead. charac-
terized by an almost Sunday-like
quiet and withdrawal.
After the official announcement
OF the surrender the majority OF
the stores and business houses
closed for the rest of the day in
both cities and those freed from
daily routine went home in a
mood almost subdued, for some
how the end OF one-half of the
war served only to intensity the
immensely of the job still left
to do on the other side of the
world.
~
Prayer services were held in
Pascagoula and Moss Point Tues
day night and throughout the day
men and women could be seen
drifting quietly out of churches
after brief periods of prayer,
thanksgiving and supplications
that in the not too distant future
there will be a second and final
victory.
This reception of the news was
in sober contrast to the exuber-
ance with which Jackson Coun-
tians heard similar news more
than a quarter of "a century ago.
The Chronicle Star, in the first
issue after the armistiee, declare
that Jackson County has never
witnessed a larger or nor en-
thusiastic celebration than that
staged. in Pascagoula.' And il
Moss Point much enthusiasm
was manifested and "all steam
whistles and church bells her
aided the news"
A union prayer service was
held at the Moss Point Methodist
church when Rev. T. Barton
West, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. reminded a capacity
crowd that the war and peace
are not yet won. The Rev. j. f.

church and the Rev. J. S. Noblin,

Car OF Clothing
For Is
Sent From Area

With the freight car loaded and
started on its way to New York,
figures on the collection of cloth
ing for Europeans from Pascagou-
la and Moss Point showed 1884
pounds collected in the two cities,
M. L. Funkhouser, drive chairman
in Pascagoula, announced Thurs
day.
There still remain several hun
dred pounds of clothing which
must be sorted, cleaned and
packed for shipment at a later
date, he said.
However Mr.. Funkhouser de
clared, this represents less than
half a pound per person and does
not compare at all favorably with
the reports coming in from other
localities. But in all fairness, it
must be realized that.many of our
citizens are living here temporari-
ly and have not much accumulat-
ed clothing. Prior to the drive,
several of the churches had coll
lected and shipped clothing for
the war needy"
Mr. Funkhouser expressed par
ticular thanks to Mrs. r. H. Ter
reson, who was sorting and pack
ing chairman, and J. w. Brum-
field, shipping chairman.
A contest was held in the DIV
school with, a prize of half holi-
day offered for the class bringing

The 5th and 9th grades brought in

1865 pieces.
