TOWN MAY CHANGE ITS FISCAL YEAR
Finance Board Studying Proposal for Presentation to Town Meeting

Upon the recommendation of a committee previously appointed to study the proposal, a public meet ing of citizens Monday evening considered a resolution requesting the Board of Finance to formulate a plan for financing what is term ed "a highly desirable change in the towns fiscal year."
 If the proposal wins the sanction of the finance board, it will be presented to formal town meet ing immediately for the electors approval.
 The present fiscal year of the town now begins August 16 and ends August 15. Accordingly, ob- legations incurred or expenditures made from August 16 to the date of the regular town meeting in October, when the annual budget is voted, are not covered by proper appropriation and also necessitate the borrowing of sizeable sums un- til the collection of taxes begins the following April.
 If changed, as suggested, the fis- cal year will begin July 1 and end June 30. The annual town meeting for the approval of appropria- tions and the establishment of the tax rate would be held in June in- stead of October and taxes would be payable in July instead of April
 The formation of the committee which has been considering the feasibility of making the change and studying plans for making such change possible was the result of a public meeting held Thursday evening, January 4, sponsored by town officials in cluding representatives of the Finance Board and members of the Town Charter Association. Those elected to the committee are Dr. E. L. Bestor, Jack Hoover, E. E. Carpenter, Town Attorney John P. Faude, Holly w. Stevenson, T. Campbell Milvae, Louis c. Cawte, w. c. Stauble and Wm. B. Barnes. Town Manager William T. Will hamson is serving with the com mittee as an ex-officio member.

rent.

Growth Of Women's Clubs Told
AT Pascagoula Annual Banquet

The first annual banquet of the
Pascagoula Woman's Club was
held in the library of the high
school last night with the hus-
bands of the ladies as guests. 1t
was tie first banquet since the club
was organized in l94l because of
the war.
One of the high points of the
program was an address by Mrs.
Hermes Gautier on the history of
women's clubs generally ana the
Pascagoula club. Mrs Gautier
said that federated women's clubs
recognized in the first place that
home and children must not be
neglected for club work but offer
ed several valid reasons for wom-
ems clubs.
The primary purpose of wom-
ems clubs is education, Mrs. eau
tier said. She pointed out that
women have come a long ways
since they obtained suffrage and
today are interested in legisla-
ton and all public matters. Clubs
are necessary to represent women
in formulating public opinion,
she said, pointing out that evil
propaganda influences are abroad
in the world today as never be-
fore.
There are two and a half nib
lion members in 1880 federated
women's clubs in the United
States, Mrs. Gautier reported,
and pointed out the phenomenal
growth in the 54 years since the
clubs began. There r also "a
clubs in foreign countries. The
Pascagoula club has as members
who have met once a month since
1941 ana is affiliated with the
national organization. Their aims
are the same as mems service
clubs.
Mrs. C. H. Gray welcomed the
guests after the invocation by
DR.. ]. C. Grain. Mrs. E. H. Ba-
cot introduced the guests. Mrs
Upton David sang "Just a Wearyn
for You, and Mrs. P. j. Higgin-
botham gave a reading, THE
Night Before Christmas. A mems
quarter composed of Johnny Cub
ley, Robert Heritage, Cooper
Roberts, and George O'Neil, ac-
companied by Mrs. R.. H.. Farms
