Jackson County Organizes To Raise
State S End Highest Loan Drive Quota

AT a meeting Monday after
noon held at the Chamber oil
Commerce. Jackson Countians
laid the groundwork for a Victory
Loan campaign which has its goal
the second largest E bond quota
in the state of Mississippi.
Under the direction of w. B,
Herring. county chairman, the
$720.000 quota was split into size
able chunks for the Pascagoula,
Ocean Springs and Moss Point
sections of the county and. in
addition, for the Ingalls, Shipyard
and the schools.
A protest which had been made
to state officials based on the
size of the quota as compared to
that of other counties with greater
population and wealth failed to
bring the substantial reduction
requested in a letter over the sig
nature of the county chairman.
MIR Herring read the answer to
the protest in which state drive
officials pointed out that Jackson
County has the largest payroll in
the state and that this county is
the least affected by the cessa-
ton of hostilities." adding that
reports show there has been nc
reduction in employment.
The largest slice of the quota
for the drive which opens October
20 was allotted to the ingalls,
Shipyard. amounting to $3.50, 900.
Pascagoula drew the escond larg-
est when 100000 was assigned.
Moss Point is being asked to raise
$4,000 and Ocean Springs quota
was set at $4,000. The schools
are being asked to be responsible
for $4,000 of the total with the
purchase of as many $4,000 hos
pital units as possible as their
goal,
Chairmen Named
James Lane was elected chair
man of the campaign in Pasca-
goula, with Mrs. T. 7. Justice
as women's chairman. and T. l..
DeLashment will head the drive
in in Moss Point, assisted by Mrs.
DeLashment in charge of the wo-
mans division. George Young will
serve as chairman in Ocean
Springs and A. F .Megehee heads
the drive in the schools. f. A.
Khayat Is in charge of the Jack
son County Mills and at the Moss
Point mill of the International Pa
per Company James Gautier was
named chairman with w. T.
Harris as viee-chairman. Miss
Louise Carr will be in charge of
the rural schools.
Bonds sold in October and not
reported until the opening date
of the campaign may be credited
toward the quota, Mr.. Herring ex-
planned, but this will not include
bonds bought at banks before
October 20 as reports must be
made every week by the banks.
This. the final war bond cam
paign, has as it focal point hos
pital and medical care for the

DDT Dusiing New
Step In TYphus
Control Progrm

A new approach to typhus
control through determination of
the germ-bearing flea instead of
the rat was begun in Jackson
County this week for the first
time in the state.
This phase of the anti-typhus
fever campaign consists of dust
ing with DOT and experts be-
lieve this will make possible the
control of the germ for its 30
day life span which would mean
the eventual radiance of the dis
ease. However, this angle Of at
tack on the germ will not cure
the rat problem, they added.
The campaign will be carried
on through the entire county un-
der the direction of L. A. Woods
OF the u. S. Public Health Ser
vice as area supervisor for jack
son, Hancock and Harrison coun-
ties. II. c. Essick. regional con-
sultant for the national public
health service, was here for the
opening of the dot campaign.
leaving Wednesday, and A. j.
Beard. engineer aid of the u. S.
health service. will remain for
80 days to assist.
Rat proofing and eradication
has been the approved method of
typhus control and this will be
continued in the county. Walter
Matthews is. typhus control SUI
pervisor for Pascagoula. w. X.
Plemmons, also of the u. S.
Public Health Service, has been
in charge of the campaign but
he left this week for Laurel where
he will institute a similar con-
troll program in Jones county.
During his nine months in Jack
son County the busiess section of
Pascagoula was rat proofed, In
addition to other progress made
in freeing the county from the
danger Of the fever.
Typhus crses ftspcrtsd
According to Mr.. Essick. a num-
Der OF cases Of the fever have
broken out in the county during
the past few months and this
was a prime factor in making
jackson county the first in the
state to have the busting pro-
gram.
Mr.. Essick explained that the
typhus germ which is transmit
ted by the flea TO the human from
the rat which carries the disease
is active for only 80 days and that
il the flea can be controlled for
a period of 30 DAYS the germ will
die.
The DDI powder, a 10 percent
mixture. will be busted gener-
ously in all places where rats
NAV run or fleas harbor and the
busting will be repeated in ap-
proximately six months. 1t is
hoped that by next July all bust
ness houses in the county and
residences and outhuildings show
ing evidence of rat infection,
will be treated, health officers
said. The busting will be done
with handshakers and blowers.
DOT will not kill the rat but
will Immediately destroy the
fleas.

Warless Future
Is Responsibility
OF individuals

Tech Sergeant Nolle Roberts. a
young Jackson county Marine
who has recently returned from
40 months in the South Pacific.
appeared as guest speaker at the
Moss Point Rotary Club Thurs
dav presenting a penetrating ar
gument that private individuals
must henceforth exert their ut
most personal influence on Amer
lean foreign policy if the world
is to avoid an atomic-age war
which civilization cannot survive.
GAS northumberland as mem
hers of the Moss Point Rotary
Club for example-we are not go
ing to be able to make foreign
policy directly" he said. But
individually we have got to real
ize and accept u personal re-
sponsibility for thinking along
lines of intelligent and far-sight-
ed cooperation among the M.
tons Of the world; and indiree !.
ly bv the mass weight of oul.
public opinion, we have got to
force decisions in Washington in
line with our desires"
I'm the age of the atomic bomb,
we are going to have to live t
gether as nations or die to-
gether. 1t seems folly to me for
a service man TO take a negative
view and expect to hang around
for twenty years or so in the
Marine Corps or Army reserve
and then to fight another war
Wars are the most expensive ard
disastrous way to decide issues,
and we cannot even guess yet
the possible destructiveness OF
a future war"
Prevent War AT All Costs
"We must expend the money
and energy to prevent one before
it starts. Whatever this cost
it is neglible compared to the
cost of war. I for one believe
that ev%uAthe Japs might make
good democrats eventually If we
are serious enough and thorough
enough in the work of re-edG
eating them. We must perform
the task. and we must spend the
money that the job requires. for
the only other alternative is a
catastrophe from which there
will be few or no survivors,
Sergeant Roberts said he felt
himself in agreement with Pres
ident Truman's expression that
all America must hold itself in
some degree responsible for Pearl
Harbor.
II am willing to accept my
share of the blame for Pearl
Harbor. We were not an alert
nation, and as individuals we all
share responsibility for this. Some
senators in Washington who are
now looking for a political scape-
goat actually bear a grave share
of the blame themselves, for
some of these senators were the
very ones who voted down the
appropriation bill when President
Roosevelt wanted to fortify
Guam long before the war"
Servicemen Guests
Sergeant Roberts, who will
soon be discharged on points with
several campaign ribbons and the
Bronze Star for rescuing a
wounded marine under fire, re-
called that he begun work as a
youth eight years earlier in Moss
Point and expressed his personal
gratitude to the Rotary members
whose friendship and advice had
helped him to a start.
Other guests introduced at the
meeting, most of them service
men, were Robert Dethloff, who
went down aboard the cruiser

their supply to compete with Amer
