Make Bid For Silk Market

Nassau, B. l. (AP) Silk
worms and mulberry trees have
been imported to the Hahama
Islands in an attempt to make
the islands a major production
center for silk.
About is months ago, the Brit
ish Caribbean Silk Co. launched
the project, bringing in cuttings
from Asignian mulberry trees in
South America and planting
them on one of the 30 islands.
Plans call for more cuttings to
be brought for planting on other
islands.
The Bahamas semi-tropieal
climate is ideal for silk worm
culture, and six crops of eocoons
are harvested each year - four
more than the number usually
collected in Japan.

HoIcomb Warns
New Sugar Stamp
Must Lost To May

Allotmens of sugar for the con-
sumers, industrial and institu-
tional users of sugar in Missis-
sipri now are inssued through the
OPA district office in Jackson,
w. E. Holcomb, district director,
announced. Ration book replace
ments and new ration books for
babies and returning veterans
also are isued through that Of
flee. Applications may be made
by mail or personally, he said.
Sugar stamp No. 80 is nov
valid for five pounds of sugar
and must last through April 80,
Major Holcomb said in urging
conservation of sugar.
With the returning to the mar
ket of dozens of small electrical
APPLIANCES ceiling prices have been
set at approximately the pre-
war prices.
Although clothing prices have
increased an average of so per-
cent since the beginning of World
War II, the present picture still
looks good compared with what
happened in World War l, MAJOR
Holcomb said.
Major Holcomb pointed out
that clothing prices advanced
100 per cent between 1914 and
Armistice and another 10 per
cent between the Armistice and
the crash of 1929.
Price increases during this war
NAV be attributed to two major
factors, Major Holcornb explain
ed. One is the disappearance of
low-priced clothing, which left
the market because the big con-
sumner demand and the great
shortages of textiles have provid-
ed a ready market for higher
priced goods on which manufac-
turers a make more profit.
The other factor lies in the fact
that consumer demand for cloth
ing continues extremely high and
purchasing power has not de-
elined greatly. he asserted.
These two factors arc putting
terrific pressure on the supply of
clothing and make continued
price controls of utmost impor-
lance, Major Holcomb said.

Tuxicub Owners
Urge Operations
From Fixed Address

Owners of taxicabs operating in
Paseagoula met Monday at the
Chamber of Commerce to survey
the operation of the program of
compulsory liability and damage
insurance now being enforced by
city ordinance.
1t was announced that all lead
ing companies are now covered
with insurance.
The operators discussed the
proposal that they agree to re-
quire all taxi owners to operate
from an established address. This
would not prevent pick-ups on
the streets, the proponents of the
measure said, but it would dis
courage far~e-stealing from other
stands.
A new executive committee is
to be elected by the owners at
the January 81 meeting.
