Shiny" Capitol Of State?

Despite the sustained and sincere efforts of law officers,
Jackson county is well on its way to becoming the Shiny"
capital of the state, and quite a lucrative business it must be
with plain old white or mason jar" variety of moonshne
selling at $3.50 per pint and up to $500 per gallon, we are
told. An even more lucrative market, our informant tells us,
is Mobile, where the boys peddle their wares for as high as
$1,000 a gallon. There is more to the local situation, however,
than meets the eye and indications are that a we'll heeled
and well organized ring is back of its operations. Negroes,
for the most part, have been arrested in connection with the
transportation and sale of the shiny and extremely stiff
fines levied in the justice of the peace courts seem to have
little effect on discouraging the sale of the white lightning"
One negro woman in Judge Denny's court has, over a period
of six months paid a total of $500 in fines for the sale and
possession of it. The total figure is made up of four fines,
the first 500, the second $3.50, the third $500 and the fourth
$3.50. In each instance the fines were paid promptly and in
cash. Other negroes have been fined $500, $500, $500 and
$500 for the same offenses and in virtually all instances the
cash is forthcoming promptly. Even the peddling of Shiny"
at exhorbitant prices does not produce incomes like these,
and the cash must be coming from a central source, with
whoever is behind the operations finding it profitable enough
to protect the outlets. Incidentally, we wonder if the state
tax commission is collecting the 10 per cent black market
tax which, in the words of Governor Bailey, was to
chase the twin evils of b~ootlegging and black markets" out
of Mississippi.

The Pascagoula-Moss Point Chamber of Commerce
marked the end Of its first year of operation with an annual
banquet for members and guests Wednesday night, and has
a right to look back with pardonable pride on the ground
work and accomplishments that marked that year. Any
new venture is, of necessity, handicapped in its initial oper-
atoms though the need of organizational work and the lay
ing out of a long range plan and program to accomplish the
maximum good. The local organization has completed that
phase of its operations with a minimum loss of time, and Is
well started on that phase of its program that will, we are
convinced, with the help and cooperation of city governments,
citizens and other organizations in Moss Point and Pascagoula
make the twin cities the two most thriving and progressive
on the coast. A large share of the credit for the successful
operations of the first year goes to the retiring president,
Hermes Gautier, the other officers and directors, and of
course, to Verne Barnes, the secretary. An equally wide
awake and progressive new set of officers, headed by AL
Bresemann of Moss Point, has taken over operations for
this year, and continued success and accomplishments seem
the prospects. However, the Chamber cannot operate with
out funds. Dues paying time is here, and we urge those
who have not yet paid their l945 dues to do so at once and
to those firms and individuals not yet members we extend
Moss Point.

You Figure 1t Out -. We Can't

The House Military Committee gave its approval to a
national service bill for men between 10 and As this week on
recommendation of high Army and Navy officers in order
to funnel more manpower into the manufacture of desperately
needed materials as the tempo of war both In Europe and
the Pacific hit a high pitch and critical phase.
American casualties on the western front in Europe were
announced as 74,788 for the month of December, to bring
our total western front casualties to 1892. Admiral Harry
E. Yarnell tells us that, in his belief, the War in the Pacific
will last four more years with American casualties running
from 100000 to 1000 0000.
Draft boards have been instructed by General Hershey
to st essential deferments, and indications are that these
deferments will become practically non-existent for young
men between the ages of 10 and rs as our armed forces face
the task of replacing our steadily mounting casualties.
Seven thousand production and maintenance workers at
the ingalls, Shipyard have been asked by the Pascagoula
Metal Trades Council to vote on February 7th whether or not
they wish to strike, the primary purpose of which would
bring a union shop to the yard which has been twice pre-
viously denied by friendly Government war agencies.
You figure it out we can't.

Winter High
way Damage
100000
Frost And Wartime
Traffic Cited By
Road Board

Frost action and heavy wartime
traffic on roads designed for lighter
use were reported by tie State Roads
Commission as The principal causes
for winter damage amounting to
about 100000.
Estimates for repairs in five dis
tricts were placed at 100000 each,
with negligible damage reported in
the sixth district in the lower part
of the Eastern Shore.
Although SHOWS were heavier last
winter than usual, the Commission
reported, steady cold period and a
steady thaw resulted in less damag-
ing effects than those produced by a
winter broken by warm spells.
Roads engineers said some of the
most extensive repair work would be
necessary in Prince Georges county
because of it's proximity to metro
politan area with ehavy wartime
traffic
Heavy type roads suffered only
normal damage. This was attributed
in large measure to surface treat
ment piror to winter months as we'll
as to the States decision to adhere
to maintenance above all else.

Ration Book 5
Being Prepared

There's nothing tentative about
food rationing continuing after We
Day. War ration book five already is
being prepared.
OPA plans to put it into use late
this year or early in 1916. Along
with nearly everyone else, OPA ex-
poets We Day long before that time.
There has been no final decision
yet whether the new book will be for
a one or two-year period. Those pre-
pairing it think, however, that pro-
badly it will follow the pattern of
the current book four and be good
for about "a months-just in case.
I'VE certainly hope food rationing
won't last into late 1947, but it
would be more economical to plan on
the pessimistic side than to have to
print a sixth book" an OPA official
said.
At the present rate of use, book
four red stamps for meat and dairy
products will last until about Dec. /
Blue processed food stamps will dc
housewives until around Oct. 1.

Lions Celebrate
Charter And
Ladies Night

Every one of the one hundred and
twenty Lions, their ladies, and guests
who attended the Charter and Ladies
Night celebration, held Thursday ev-
ening, April 10th, at the Spanish
Tavern, Quarryville, Pa, voted it one
of the most enjoyable parties ever
keld by the Rising Sun Lions Club.
1t was the thirteenth anniversary
of the founding of the organization,
and the Entertainment Committee
did themselves proud in arranging
for the elaborate banquet served, and
providing for the floor show and
dancing that followed.
President John F. Bodine presided
welcomed the assemblage, and intro
duced guests and charter members,
twelve of the original nineteen being
present to enjoy the festivities.
A brief but interesting History of
the Club was given by DR.. r. G. Dod-
son, its first president.
District Governor Wendell Henry
of Salisbury, was introduced and
made few remarks.
The banquet was followed by en-
tertainment provided by doc" r.
wing and wife, and included mystify-
ing slight-of- and mind-reading
feats.
A five piece orchestra from Balm
bridge Naval Training Center fur
nished music for dancing, that was
enjoyed until late hour.
