'PTA Council
Holds Meeting
At Lake School

The quarterly meeting of the
Pascagoula Parent-Te Teacher Asso-
citation Council was held at the
Lake Elementary school last Tues
day evening with representatives
from all four PTA's forming the
body, in attendance.
The session was presided over
by Mrs. Warren B. Seely, who
heads the council. Representatives
from the city PTA's were Mrs.
r. H.. Terreson, president, Mrs.
Hal b. Scott. vice president, Mrs,
Morton H. Painter of the school
faculty and Mrs. Herbert Betch
of the Central school association;
Mrs. d. A. Handy. president, and
Mrs. William Tillotson, finance
chairman of the South school; and
Mrs. Charles Smith. president and
Mrs. Joe D.. Lyons and Miss 10
Belle Cox from the Beach school.
The hostess body, the Lake
street school association, was rep
resented by its president, Mrs.
w. l.. Gilmore. Mrs. j. P. Hig-
ginbotham and Mrs. Karl Wiesen-
burg, the school principal.
Among the important matters
coming before the council was
the paper salvage drive.
Mrs. Seely informed the body
that a committee had met with
the city council and had secured
promise of assistance in carrying
out this highly important war
work.
The councilmen voted TO pay
the expense of a truck for trans
porting the collected paper, one
day each week is the PTA council
is able to secure a truck to haul it.
Mrs. Seely stated that the coun-
ell is now working on securing
of a truck and called on owners
of such vehicles to volunteer the
use of one for at least a day a
week.
Lack of a storage place has al
so retarded the collection of scrap
paper. II was announced that a
committee had visited the city of
ficials and had asked permission
to use a vacant room at the fire
station for this purpose. The
feasibility of this is now being
Investigated by the officials.
The president also stated that
corrugated iron would be sup
piled by the Ingalls, shipyard and
a lot provided by the city coun-
Gil If the PTA council would Sc
cure workmen to build a storage
place for this paper.
The salvaging has been very
heavy on those taking part in it
because of the foregoing conditions
but it is hoped to overcome them
and thus remove the stigma of
Jackson county's being among the

Whot's Happened TO Pepper Salvage?

What's happened to the waste paper salvage campaign
in PascagouIa?
We have had several bundles of paper and magazines
carefully tied and piled on our front porch for three months
or more and no sign of any one to collect it. In addition we
are forced TO burn waste paper each week at our office be-
cause we are unable to give 1t away and do not have storage
space to let II accumulate for several months while someone
gets around to picking it up. Then every day or so we re-
ceive telephone calls from citizens and housewives asking
us what to do with waste paper they have gone to the trouble
OF salvaging. Our only answer is that we don't know what
to do with ours, either.
Almost every day we receive government releases stress
ing the Importance OF waste paper salvage, and we read
where other cities are conducting successful and sustained
campaigns. Several drives have started out here in fine
style only to die gradually away. The only way that the
salvage can be successful is for Il permanent and interested
civic organization to take hold of il, conduct a sustained
campaign, educate the public in ~salvaging methods, and es-
tablish regular collection days and maintain them. This
not only would be a patriotic service, but would, we UNDER
stand, yield a tidy sum, through sale of the savaged paper, to
the organization conducting the campaign.

(Reprinted from Peoples Voice
Mr. H. S. Bruce, Editor,
Peoples Voice, Helena, Mont
Dear Sir:
[ read in the last issue of The Voice,
that the Montana Power CO., whose ap-
peal for a new hearing by the Federal
Power commission was denied, were
greatly perturbed because the Federal
Power commission was not guided in its
decision, by the decision rendered by
the Montana State Railway and Public
Service commission, on Dec. 81, 1944.
Many people who read the State Rail
way commissions report are still wonder
ing just who wrote it--as anyone ac-
quainted with the members Of the state
Railway commission in December, 1914
knows positively that none of the three
members of the commission at that time
had the intelligence, the vocabulary, or
the ability to write such a report
Many persons whom I have talked to,
are of the opinion that the report was
written by counsel for the Electric Bond
g. Share Co. or the American Power Sc
Light Co., and that all our railway COM
mission had to do with the report was
sign their names.
Yes it would have been very beneficial
to the Montana Power Co, if the Federal
Power Commission were guided in their
decision by those three Masters OF Juris-
prudence-One Insurance Peddler-One
Small Town Stockman-And One YOdel-
ing Cowboy, who has the reputation of
being very good bar room entertainer
Well, sir, with the present state COM
mission dominated by two members
whose every decision favors the Montana
Power Co., there is but one thing for
the progressives to d0-that is to start
circulating petitions sll over thee state
for the enactment of law making it

ABOUT MAN-DAYs WORK

For many reasons aluminium can be pro
duced i'll the Pacific Northwest more ef-
ficiently and more economically than any
where else in the world When the huge
deposits Of aluminium clay are developed
and the new process for extracting the
raw material are perfected, the production
cost will be still less
Here, however, are some facts brought
out at the recent conference on Light
Metals in Seattle: 1t takes about three
man-days of work to produce a ton of pig
alumium the big hunks of silvery metal
that go to the rolling mills. For every ton
Of such aluminium three men get a days
work. That's important. But what Is
still more important is this second fact:
Every ton Of aluminium castings or fabr-
Gated material requires from 46 to 100
man-days of work.
Now maybe you can see why the alumni
mum monopoly, ALCOA, ism t too keen on
building up the aluminium fabrication
business in this area. Yes, ALCOA is
monopoly, we have the world of the
United States Supreme Court for that
ALCOA bosses the aluminium industry.
With aluminium production costs low
there is very good reason why this area
should develop as producer of casting and
fabricated shapes. That is, if ALCOA
doesn't interfere Yes, aluminium pig
production is important to the Northwest
country, for it means jobs. Fabrication
