Clouds Industry


Uncertainty in the matter oil
pulpwood supplies is clouding the
immediate future of the pulp and
paper industry, according to the
latest Industry Report on Pulp
and Paper just issued by the u.
S. Department of Commerce.
Transport, a scarcity of trucks,
curtailed imports and wet wealth
er are among the factors con-
tributing to unsettled conditions,
according to the government
agency.
"A possible shortage of railroad
cars for pulPwood shipments may
develop as cars are withdrawn
to move midwest grain to ports
for shipment abroad it was
pointed out in the report, is dis
cussing one of the factors making
for this uncertainty.

TN. Tucker,
Recreation Head
Speaks At Rotary


I. NJ. Tucker, manager of the
Market Street facilities of Com
munity Recreation, Inc, Pasca-
gouIa, was the guest speaker at
Yesterdays luncheon of the Moss
Point Rotary Club in the com
munity house.
Mr.. Tucker explained the pro-
gram that is underway in Pas

Point on the opening of their
new swimming pool, and offer
ed his cooperation in any fur
Their recreation movement.
Recreation is big business. Mr..
Tucker pointed out, stating that
one out of every 20 dollars earn
ed in the United States is spent
for some form Of recreation.
Over four billion dollars was
spent on sports alone last year,
Mr.. Tucker said.
The speaker outlined the for
nation of baseball and soft ball
leagues and announced the series
of wrestling matches which are
being held at the building each
Wednesday evening.
A. j. Franklin also continued

addition to this there are many

scheolboY essays of his young
er days. collections of stuffed
birds which he killed and
mounted as a youth. letters TO
his family. and similar objects.
The President apparently had a
sense of humor, for some of his
priced collections were newspa-
per and magazine cartoons which
attacked him personally and po-
litically He seemed to enjoy
them-if they were funny enough.
A charge of 40 cents is asked of
visitors for the upkeep of the
museum The whole establish
ment is now owned by the U. S.
Government, and is administered
by the Department of the Inte-
rior, just as are the national parks
and public monuments.
There was quite a crowd of peo-
pie there on the day of our visit.
Many of them had once been po-
litical opponents of the President,
but were interested In the histor-
ic value of the material, and OF
course IN the magnificent view OF
The Hudson valley from the Hill.
The great Vanderbilt mansion, also
on the river and also a national
museum now, and far more elsb-
crate than the Roosevelt home,
had scarcely a single visitor when
we visited it later in the day.
This is indeed beautiful coun-
tryside up here. But there is a
certain nigh-filled and mysterious
beauty along the fiat coast of Lou.
isiana and Mississippi which casts
a spell upon a native that no other
land can ever obscure, or pene-
trate.

born here, a decendent of ms OF

daughter.
Just where the treasure is, if
ii exists, is also more than Mr..
Cannette knows, because, as he
reasonably points out, IF | know

But he heard the story argued
pro and con during a haif-cen-
fury as a schooner captain and
of his own knowledge knows
that later day adventures have
periodically dug huge holes o.
Point st. Martin in a search for
the stolen hoard.
Being a ~seafaring man, Mr..
Cannette is inclined TO favor
another version Of the tale of a
treasure-lade pirate ship driven
from the Gulf into the mouth of
Fort Bayou. She ran aground. the
story goes. on Plummer's Reef,
just north of the railroad bridge
near Ocean Springs. and broke
up on the reef. Three cannons
were found on the reef and now
adorn the front lawn of a fine
beach residence in Biloxi, Mr.
Gazette told US. but the story
of the fate of the treasure has
three versions.
One group of old timers hold
that the zee msEauders were so
hard pressed that they dropped
their chests of stolen gold and
jewels Just over the reef into
deep wafer AT the time they
jeifisoued their guns and that
the last man to know its
whereabouts was killed before
he could return for the booty.
Another version is that the pi-
rates escaped in small boats with
the treasure and buried it at the
foot Of the big magnolia near
fine Spanish Camp Spring and
the heavy chests sank in the shift
ing sands of the spring.

Seomen Hold Up
Selling Over Firing
Of Neqro Mate

New York, N, Y,-The SIS
Marine Flasher was scheduled to
leave August 7th for Italy with
900 passengers, But is did not
sail. Its crew held it up because
a Negro third mate had been
fired from its crew.
I've been fired at least Is
times for various reasons" ex-
planned Collin Clarke, the third
mate, "but this is the first time
I've received support from the
crew. My own union has done
nothing to help me-"
But, if the Marine cooks and
stewards Association of the Pa
cific have anything to say about
it, the SIS Marine Flasher will
continue to be held up until the
union gets satisfactory reason
for the firing of Clarke.
