wonderful DAYS Of sickness"

time to time, when they awaken
with a slight cold, or fever, or
upset stomach. and when they
can win the privilege of stay

school at the price of a dose of
eastor-oii. Or so it was in our
day, at least. And on these sick
days we stayed in bed with

of the legislature in authorizing the employ
ment of a chemist as a permanent member OF
the state Fish and Game Commission He
should be a graduate chemist, well versed in
the industrial field field, not a politician.
The Game and Fish Commission would be
immeasurably strengthened by such action,
and could tnen set up ovarell regulations
which would, or could be, uniformly enforced
over the state as a whole, and within the
pattern of which industry could profitably
operate and our river systems would be
saved.
Looking at it from a purely commercial
point of view and evaluating it in dollars and
cents the natural resources of our Mis-
sissippi rivers and streams is an asset for
more valuable than the payrolls of a few
INSCRIPTIONS industries that would destroy
them.
Too long we have approached industry
with a Bonded knee and doWncast eye atti-
tude. Mississippi has the advantages and
natural resources to legitimately attract
reputable industries and its people have re-
peatedly shown a spirit of cooperation that
is a considerable factor in the success of such
industries. We should approach our prob
lens of industrialization on that basis and
stop handing out portions of our state on a
silver platter in return for a payroll that in
many instances exploits far more than it
returns.

City Plan Is Needed

The editorial columns of this paper have
contained considerable of late dealing with
the lack of zoning enforcement on the part of
tie city government. However, after care
full study, ~Pascagoula's present zoning ordin-
ance is seen to be ambiguous, contradictory
and considerably out of date when applied to
present and potential growth of the city.
In the first place zoning, applied helter-
SHELTER, means nothing, but only takes mean
irg when it is applied within the pattern of
an overall plan for the development of the
city. Such a plan is vital to Pascagoula and
ould be an investment in which the city
would be a many-fold gamer.
Competent city planning engineers
should be employed for the job. The
citYs problems should be carefully ana
liked. Recommendation made on the va
rious phases of the city's development.
and an overall plan laid out for the city
to follow in Its development When this
plan IL complete and the city committed
to 1t. then the present coming law should
be junked and a new zoning ordinance
adopted to fit the plan.
~Pascagoula is in a state of flux and such a
plan should not be laid out for longer than
a five-year period. 1t should be flexible in
order to be adapted to changes that might
occur during that period. The ordinance, too,
should contain a provision for a coming en-
forcement officer, as does the present ordin-
ance.
However, such a plan will be useless and
a waste of money unless the city govern
e adheres to it without fear or favor and
in the face of inevitable political pressure
and, above all, hires a coming enforcement
officer that will be a coming ENFORCE
MENT officer, and not just fill another place
on the city payroll.

The Pollution Problem

The injunction granted last week in the
Jones county Chancery Court against the
Masonic Corporation, if properly enforced,
will be the agent that will at long last clean
up a situation that has worked to the detri-
ment of this section of our state for the past
20 years, and resulted in damage to the Pasca-
goula river system that will probably take
twice that many years to rectify.
However, this is only one step in a long
struggle In which the press and the citizenry
OF the state will have to join if we are go
ing to save Mississippi from the fate eg stink
ing, polluted rivers and complete destruction
for all time of natural resources that belong
to no one generation, but which duly elected
officials and the general citizenry of the state
simply hold in trust for future generations.
Already we hear rumors of a deter
mined drive to kill the present pollution
law at the coming session of the leqis-
iature. or at least declare certain rivers
of the state open rivers" thereby sub
jecting them to indiscrimiate pollution
and complete ruin.
Any step of this sort would be nothing
short OF tragic and we cannot believe
that the state legislature could be hiah
presumed into such action. However
such things have happened and it will be
up to the people and the press to guard
against it.
During the next ten, fifteen or twenty
years Mississippi will probably undergo its
greatest period of naturalization and
plans should be made now to meet the pol
luton problems that will arise. The first
step should be a at the coming session

Southern Rodesia, Africa
Dear MI. King:
just a line to let you know
about the change of address as
indicated above and to- say that
the Chronicle is spreading news
and lots of pleasure in the heart
Of Africa. They come in irregu-
larly, usually two or three at a
time and often not in order, and
/ usually stop whatever is going
on and sit down and read them
straight through Immediately.
Three arrived yesterday two July
issues and one early August and
were thoroughly enjoyed.
I'd like to add my word of
congratulation and appreciation
to the others for your work in
getting something done about the
Masonite refuse. Your construc-
tive policies in this and in other
matters makes your paper one
that all of us be proud of.
OF course it is fine to know that
prospects for the future of our
county and state look so bright
and l know that you and others
with the Chronicle have a lot
to do with making it SO.
Before you receive this l shall
probably be living at the adj
dress above. The decision was
reached last week that l should
go to Mrewa to work with the
boarding school there. My work
is to be teaching a few courses
in Bible in the school, generally
%counseling and helping out with
the 200 boarding boys and the
faculty, probably playing some
part in the 100-acre farm that
is with the station, assistant to
the missionary pastor of the sta
tion church. Prospects r bright
for some very delightful and
worthwhile service there. | like
it lots better than the supervisory
work over a district that I have
been doing for a short period here
or, rather, attempting to do un-
til further hedp could come.
Sincerely,
