the company guaranteed to in

this the citizens of the county
voted a bond issue OF $l50,000
for the construction of the plant.
Land was cleared in an area
north of town in the piney woods
which had been the haunt Of the
rabbits and bluejays from the
beginning of time, and a long
rectangular brick plant, built to
the most modern design for
light, ventilation and location OF
equipment, was erected. The Pc

Onyx company, then began the
gradual transition of their pro-
ductive management from their
former plant in Philadelphia to
the Jackson county mills. The

The history of the Jackson
County mills goes back some nine
wears 10 the passage of an act IN
the Mississippi legislature known
under the initials "BAWI," which
stand for balance agriculture
with industry and constituted
the belief and driving principle
OF the administration of Cover
nor Hugh White.
Governor White, realizing that
Mississippi was faced with an
economic future as scanty Is its
past IL its destiny was to be dom
mated by one-horse cotton cul-
tivation on small uneconomic
farms. determined to pursue a
policy during his administration
Of soliciting northern industries
TO come into the state. In order
that the various counties and cit
les might work toward this goal
he persuaded the Legislature to
pass the BAWI act which en-
powered the county boards of
supervisors to float general bond
issues, backed by public taxes,
to build the plants for the North
ern businesses that were inter-
ested in coming South. These
industries were given five years
state and local tax exemption;
the counties retained title to the
building. but the act provided
for the signing of contracts be-
tween the counties and the indus
tries by which ownership of the
plant would revert to the COM
pany after a certain stated guam
tity of payroll money had been
poured into the economic life OF
ernor Paul B. johnson.

Dutchman Tells
Rotary OF Nazi
Waits Treachery

A Dutch naval officer who led
the escape of eight freighters
from France and later engaged in
the dangerous work of mine
sweeping, told Pascagoula Rota-
rians Wednesday some of the
tales of Dutch tragedy and hero
ism and of German barbarity
that have come out of the war.
The speaker, 1t. Edward Serle,
spoke under the auspices OF the
Mississippi War Fund, and was
introduced by the director, By
ron l.. Burford, of Jackson, who
praised Jackson county for lead
ing the state in last falls war
fund campaign.
1t. Serle told of the almost
unbelievable trcachery and lack
Of humanity on the part of the
German eonquerors. He told how
Holland had given foster homes
and shelter after the war to
thousands of hungry and home
less German war children, and
how these repaid their obiiga-
ton by betraying the country
which helped them. These chill
dren, after they returned to
Germany, were later trained as
spies and paratroopers and were
dropped behind the lines to blow
up Hollands bridges and dykes
land sabotage the lines of COM
m%unication. The knowledge of
the country they gained as a re-
suit OF Hollands charity enabled
them to betray the nation.
1t. Serle said that the pic
turesque dairy scenes one thinks
of in connection with the Meth
erlands are no more. The cattle
have been taken to Germany
long ago, the fields have been
flooded by the German army,
often out of pure malice when it
served no military purpose; and
there are few tulips, for the
starving people have eaten the
bulbs.
He described the defenseless-
ness of England in the early
days of the war after his escape
from France. One British har-
Dor, for example, was guarded"
by only a single Lewis machine
gun.

sippi Export Railroad, and then
began its complicated journey
through the many processes and
the hundreds Of busy hands and
flying machinery parts that pro-
duced it finally into the tidy,
well-styled bathing trunks and
sweaters and other garments
which left the plant, Grated in
crisp tissue and cardboard boxes,
en- route to the leading CONNER
cial markets of America.
But with the approach of war,
and the need for millions Of
warn uniforms and overcoats
looming on the horizon, wool
became a critical item. and so
did labor in the Pascagoula area,
for the Ingalls, plant was BOOM
ing ahead at full speed produce
ton and taking much of the la
Dor resources in the Pascagoula
district.
Drastic Changes
The plant manager during
this critical time was Saul Peter
zell, a distant relative of the
owners who had come up through
the ranks in the garment indus
try and who had worked at many
of the production jobs in the
manufacture of sweaters. Al
though a young man still in his
twenties, he had acquired an au-
thoritative knowledge of the in
dustry and he knew that dras-
tic changes had TO be made in
the methods of production and
in the type of product If the mills
were to be able to stay in BUSH
ness during the critical wal years
ahead.
So in 1941 the mills swung
over from their highly styled
swim suits and other garments
to two types of sturdy utility
sweaters, one a plain but we'll
tailored garment suitable for
school use by boys and youths,
and the other, which represent
ed the greater volume of produc-
ton, a sweater suitable for far
mers, shipyard workers, sports
men, and other heavy duty uses.
To stay in business it was vitality
necessary to step up production
per worker, and to shift from
The field where style and finish
represented a large component
part of the production value to
the field where material content
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1945-06-15

and simple sturdy lines were
what was sought by the purchas-
er. With the new garment it was
also possible to simplify produc-
ton methods so that each oper-
ator was given one basic job of
cutting or sewing which would
make possible a higher rate of
production per worker. q
The change in line proved sue
| cessful since it met with the in
creasing needs of the times. The
Onyx mills were able to hold
their position in the open COM
mercial market. And finally,
last winter, when the govern
ment using its wartime powers
froze the commercial sale of all
wool and then began to allocate
it where it would do the most
good, the Onyx mills were allo-
Gated a supply to keep them in
| production, which was indiSputa-
bic evidence of the Importance
and usefulness of the product
turned out at the Jackson mills.
The mills were also given a
large order for bathing trunks
to be sold at army posts ex-
changes, and are just now finish
ing up this order. The sweat
ers have established their place
with the biggest quantity pur-
chasers in the county = among
them establishments like Sears
Roebuck Co, Montgomery Ward,
j. c. Penny-and the mills will
continue to produce along these
lines until the restraints are TAX
en- off the garment industry and
it is once more possible to enter
open competition for the maxi
mum market that the Jackson
plant is able of supplying.
There are a number of factors
resulting from the war whose
effect on the postwar market
can be fairly accurately estimat-
ed. Among these are the fact
that the Ruhr and Coventry and
Lyons areas of Europe, which
accounted for a considerable part
of the worlds textile production,
have been partially destroyed.
There is also the backlog of con-
sumner purchasing power which
will pr0tnbly create a demand
for wool garments after the war
to replace those that are being
worn out. But these are tempo
rary factors, MI. Peterzell point
ed out, and will not of them
selves create a permanent pros
perity for the mills.
In planning for the long future
the mills must count on more
permanent factors. and especial
" on those which have always
been the dominant factors of
successful business - efficient
management, a high rate of pro-
duction, and the manufacture of
a good and reliable product. And
it is on this basis rather than
through dependence on the needs
of a war-disturbed market that
the mills hope to climb back to
100 per cent productive capacity
and to create permanent work
for some 900 Jackson County
residents.
