Two-MM Tax VIII Serve Good Purpose

The city officials of Paseagoula on September II will
submit a two mill property tax proposal to the voters in order
to raise needed revenue for the recreation program, and for
sanitation aad cleanup work which needs to be done. Two
ordinances will be voted on, providing one mill for the re-
creation program and one mill for other work. We feel that
the need for these projects justifies the tax, and that the tax
Is IN reasonable proportion to the community service it will
finance, and We urge the citizens of P~ascagoula therefore to
give some thought to the proposal in order to be able to vote
with intelligence and competence when the matter is sub
mitted.
4 enc mill tax yields q base income Of about $500
On the assessed property value of the city, and thus the
city Is asking 10 raise a total of $1,000 for these special but
necessary services. AS we have said before. the main
tsnance of a full recreation program and the full use of
excellent buildings and recreation equipment worth
100000 is dependant on whether the city can and will
meet federal funds at the proportion Of a nickel to twenty
cents. We think that such , program Is far more than
! luxury, and actually Is a necessity in = crowded. hard

1t is Fall, like no other place
in the world.
MAN is ATTUNED TO THE
changing seasons, and has been
so from the dawn of time, and it
is the quality of change rather
than of permanence which inten-
sites his appreciation of the
world about him. Summer would
become a far different thing in
our feelings if it lasted for a
lifetime. So would the other
seasons. II is our knowledge that
the seasons are always changing,
getting ripper, passing from one
phase to another, every minute
Of our lives, which make them
rich and interesting to us. When
we see summer begin to trail
away at the seasons end, we are
both ~regretful at its going for
another year, and at the same
time eager for the change of fall
and the advent of the winter
season, and all that it brings. In
song and story, summer time
seems to get the popular vote.
But almost everyone has his pref
erence for the seasons, and that
preference is likely to be any of
them. Very likely we like that
season with which we associate
the gayest and happiest times or
particular memorable events of
our early lives.
This intensification of expert
ence and meaning through
change is at work in our own
lives too, as we pass from one

childhood to youth, from matur-
ity to early middle age; from
seed to ripened fruit, to mellow
ness, and then completion. We
are ever at one age, yet ever
growing into the next. There is
no one day or hour that we can
point to and say here was the
dividing line between childhood
and youth" or there / began to
be old" 1t is very gradual, yet
somehow swift, and for that rea-
son the characteristics of any
age, the attitudes, changes and
experiences, have a keen and
particular meaning to that age
and time, which can be remem-
bered but never really lived

to suggest that the first, faint

IL is true. 1t is not a matter Of

changed quality of the sunlight,
the shortening of DAYS, the first

seems a little more 50, for we
do not dress and equip ourselves
so well for wintry weather as
do the Northerners, and we do
not build, on the whole, as eff
cient heating systems into our
homes. And no enc will deny
that there is more beauty and
gracefulness to silent, falling
snow than to cold, grey rain. But
after a day or two, snow can
get to be just about the most
boring thing in nature; you look
cut the window and there 1t is,
swirling and falling in that ever
lasting silence, with only murky
light everything as though the
rain will never again break
through. Rain at least makes a
noise, and runs in cleaning riv-
ulets in the streets, and reflects
the city lights and the lights of
show windows.

count on an average of about
four sunny days in every week
during winter, and that is the
big difference in the climate. In
the North, from about the end

GETTING BACK TO THE

GETTING BACK TO TIE
subject of fall. the Southern
fall seems to us to be one OF the
rarest and most delicate changes
of nature, and for that reason,
and because of old memories, we
prefer it even to a New England
fall, which unquestionably is
more colorful and splendid. We
will agree that there is scarcely
a thing in the world. more beau
tiful than the flaming red Of the
sugar naples, the tawny yeliows,
the rich puppies and browns OF
the elms, sycamores, beeches: the
view of a smoky hill or valley
in the fall, from the Carolinas
to Maine seems about the most
richly perfect show that n is
likely to find on the North Ann
erican continent. And vet the
less dramatic Southern fall, and
particularly the first soft, sifted
changes in the light al it comes
at a different angle through the
trees, will always mea more to
us. The winds pick up a little
and the light takes on an indefin-
able golden quality. Suddenly
you become aware that the angle
of the shadows of trees on the
grass has changed as the sun has
made progress on its journey
southwark. The whitecaps blow
on the gulf in a different way,
and the leaves no longer have
the fresh, crisp green's of early
summer. The weeds have grown
bitter beneath the long days of
burning sun, and their acrid
odor hangs heavy upon the air.
And then one day comes that
first tang of GOODNESS in the air,
always a little unbelievable even
though it has been long expect
ed. The days grow shorter. The
smell of autumn settles on the
fields and woods, And the first
flights of ducks and geese come
trailing across the sky. Out on
the islands and along the coast

messed a fashion show. After

and went TO the tower at bell
time to see the chimes played.
BY this time the girls were
starved so they went TO the Ma

ter the refreshments they jour
neyed through the private rooms
of the residents.
BY this time the girls saved
just enough energy TO go 10 the
