Mrs. Merrill To
Receive Medal
AwardedH husband

Mrs. Lois E. Merrill, the former
Lois Overstreet, has been in
formed by the Adjutant Generals
department at Washington that
by direction of the President, the
Bronze Star Medal has been post
humously awarded her husband,
the late Sgt. Frederick T. Mer-
Irill of the U. s. Infantry.
According TO Maj. Gen. Edward
F. Wisell, by whom the letter to
Mrs. Merrill was written, the dec
grafton will be forwarded to the
Commanding General, Fourth
Service Command, Atlanta, Ga,
who will select an officer to make
the presentation. The officer Sc
lected will communicate with
Mrs Merrill concerning her
wishes in the matter.
The medal will be accompan-
led by the following citation:
For heroic achievement in ac-
ton on October /, 1914, in Italy.
When the reserve platoon of his
company was making a thanking
attack on an enemy strongpoint
that had held up the two leading
platoons, Lieutenant Merrill, the
company executive officer, boldly
moved to the exposed forward
slope of a hill to maintain COM
munication with all units. Despite
intense enemy machine gun and
morton fire that was directed up
on him, he remained in his ex-
posed position and coordinatsd
the movement of all units in the
company. His courageous action
in the face of enemy fire coordin-
ated the movement of the flank
ing platoon which released enemy
pressure from other units"

ed this time because twice before

tory under seven flags, it has
Known the fever of booms = in
the lush and transient prosperity
while the yellow pine forests
were being cut away, and with
the big, hard money wages OF
the shipbuilders in World War l.
One need not be among the
Oldest Inhabitants to remember
the lamentably low bottom when
the booms had spent themselves,
the silenced songs of the saw
mills, the departed workers, the
partly submerged hulls of ships
rotting in The Singing River;
biind-eye store fronts and empty
houses on quiet dirt streets be-
meath the wide canopy of ancient
live oaks.
Prosperity collapsed and the
tired town slumped; Imagination
were lacking to set it on its feet
again. But its splendid natural
harbor, its climate, and its unde-
1iable Southern charm remained
residual assets.

ceived stern warnings as to the
sanitary codes.
The Federal Works Agency,
charged by Congress with admin
istration of Lanham Act funds
for the health and welfare OF
war workers, and to whom ap-
peals for assistance were ad-
dressed, saw clearly that the de-
mands were war induced. The
situation was desperate enough
to adversely affect the prosecu-
ton OF the war unless help was
forthcoming, Major General Phil
ip B. Fleming the Federal Works
administrator, determined, and
with the approval of the Presi-
dent grants exceeding Sl,600,000
were made for construction OF
four school buildings, for an ad-
dition to the Jackson County hos
pital, for a water system expan-
sion, an extended sewerage sys-
TEN and disposal plant to cost
100000, for recreation facilities
and other war public works prof.
ects.
To assist the Pascagoula au-
thorities in the cost and mainte-
nance of school operation, for
child care for pre-school children
of mothers in war-connected jobs,
increasing police and fire pro-
lection services, and for the rec
reation program, other contribu-
tions aggregated $391,000, match
ing the funds Of the city.
So much for the war emer-
gency program. 1t differs only in
scale ana intensity for that of
other war-impacted communities.
The interest now rests in the
residual assets for town that
claims to have found its forward
going feet.
Port improvement will be on
the agenda of Pascagoula's post
war program, and a more extern
sive use will be made of the In
tercoastal Water System which
crosses the Paseagouia River
channel few miles from the
harbor.
Not Wishful Thinking
Pascagoula leaders warn that
wishful thinking won't bring the
golden opportunity" they envis-
age, and add that thought, plan
ming and coordinated action
based on our natural advantages
will give us the right and the
means to achieve our ends. =
These ends are to utilize all the
new facilities the war has brought
the community, and then set
about the business of becoming
the most thriving city on the
Gulf Coast"
And the Pascagoula, the famous
Singing River, will continue its
s@ag on summer nights, while
g logIsts continue to seek a
cause for its musical murmur.
