Federal Funds
For Junior High
Judged Essential

The new Junior High school
in Pascagoula now under con
struction has been included in
the approximately five per cent
OF federal projects which have
not been suspended since the
end of the war, Thomas r. Weli1,
superintendent of schools, an
nounced. Tho approval of con-
tinued federal financing for this
building was given on the
strength of proof of the need
for the building and the fact
that the ingalls, Shipbuilding
Corporation has a considerable
volume of postwar contracts.
"About 95 per cent of the other
similar federal projects were
halted throughout the country BY
the government" Mr.. Wells, who
just returned from Atlanta where
he went in support of the prof.
ect, said, land only the fact thai
Pascagoula's situation is differ
ent from that of the majority Of
such towns kept our junior high
building on the list"
Construction on the building
which is located on South Pas
cagoula street is going right
ahead, he said, and the compile
ton date has been tentatively
set at October 20.
Federal aid for the nursery and
day care center in Pascagoula
will cease as of September 80,
but Mr. Wells announced that
the School Board in the city
has voted to continue to spon-
sor the program and plans are
underway to- operate the SER
vice without interruption. With
the withdrawal of federal funds,
restrictions which limited eligi-
BILE children to only those whose
mothers were working will be
removed and some change in the
regrouping OF the divisions ac-
cording TO age Is being eonsid-
cred.
The fee for nursery and day
care children will be advanced,
however, to SIS Week. This viii
include all day care of the pre-
school age child with lunch at
noon and lunch and half day care
for the school age child. This
advance in price is necessary to
make up for the withdrawn fed
edal funds, Miss Alice Battle. di-
rector. said. Letters have been
circulated among parents OF
children already entered at the
center and the response has bees
very satisfactory as almost all
replies have expressed desire to
continue taking advantage of the
center at the increased rate. 9th
ers interested may contact Miss
Battle at the school on 11th street
or at Sill.

Woolen Mill Expansion Is Limited
Only By Ability To Secure Workers

There are no limiting factors
in the expansion of employment
rolls at the Jackson County
Wooden Mills to capacity OF
800 or 900 except the actual hir-
ing of suitable and permanent
workers, Saul Peterzell, plant
manager, said this week.
There are no limiting factors
on the sale OF our products or
the securing of raw materials,
Mr.. Peterzell said. "The only
factor that will slow down our
increased employment is the
actual securing of necessary
workers"
Already employment levels
are being gradually upped and
have reached a total of $50, an
increase of approximately so
workers during the past six
weeks. This figure is expected
to reach between 400 and 500
workers by the first of the year.
The chief production at the
mill is woolen sweaters, and
the plant is also now reinstating
the manufacture of civilian
swimming trunks. The bulk o.
anticipated production at the
mill has already been sold well
into l946, Mr.. Peterzell said.
Reached Peak in l94l
The mill had reached a peak
employment of approximately 800
workers shifting to war indus
tries. freezing of raw materials,
and limitations on. production
caused a drastic decrease in the
number employed.
Mr.. Peterzell explained that
approximately 80 per cent Of
the employment at the mill is
con posed of women workers, and
that the mill faces peculiar
problem in that there are no un-
skilled operations but all pro-
eesses Of manufacture called for
either skilled workers or a long
training period for unskilled
workers.
The Jackson County Mill is
the South's only mill manufac-
turing woolen products, and is
one Of the finest and most mod
ern mills of its kind in the
country, Mr.. Peterzell said.
Our increased production will
be limited only by our ability te
secure the necessary workers. =
Mr.. Peterzell said. we of course
anticipate reaching our one-time
level of approximately 500 work
ers as workers become availas
BILE.
Applications for employment
at the mill are being taken at
the USES office in Pascagoula,
ana at the employment office at
the mill proper.
