School District Voters Il ssslecide On Sl25,OOO Bond
Issue For Memorial Sta ssslm AT Polls Tomorrow
Predict HeuvY
Vote As People
Decide Issue

Final preparations for the Pas
cagoula Memorial Stadium bond
issue election tomorrow, Nov. l6,
were being completed today and
indications pointed to a record
turnout of voters and probable
victory for the stadium support
ers, a check late yesterday indi-
Gated.
With every major civic organ
ization in the city backing the
issue, a final organization meet
ing was scheduled to be held last
night to keynote the drive to get
all qualified electors to the polls.
Citizens have been repeatedly
requested to cast a ballot and
warned that not voting is a vote
against the issue.
Parades in the downtown sec-
ton and a house-to-house cam
vas by school youngsters high
lighted this weeks final effort to
get out the vote. Supporters be-
lieve that a heavy vote will asy
sure success.
Meanwhile, supporters of the
issue urged as many voters as
possible to 60 to the polls early
before noon, if at all practical
and stated that while poll tax
must have been paid, receipts
need not be shown at the polls.
They also stated that transport
tation would be furnished free to
any voter who telephones any
of the city schools or the Cham
Der of Commerce, telephone TIT.
Polling Places
The polling places are listed as
follows:
North Pascagoula Precinct
Knights of Columbus Hall. cor
ner of Magnolia Street and u. S.
Highway 30.
Scranton-Court Huse.
Eastlawn-l2th Street Commu-
nifty House.
Beach-Garden Club Hall ON
Washington Avenue, just off
South Pascagoula Street.
Persons having any doubt as
to which precinct they vote at
are urged to call any of the city
schools or the Chamber of Com
merce prior to going to the polls.
Lists of qualified electors and
their precincts ore on hand at
these places and will be cheer
fully given to aEv voter.
Minor Objections
Only objections voiced to is
sue thus far have had an errone-
Gus base, supporters declare. in
that working funds for the school
have no relationship to the pro-
posed stadium issue.
Operative and maintenance
funds under Mississippi law, are
completely separate from build
ing funds, they point out.
The need for the stadium,
which is UNREASONABLE, and adj
visibility of issuing the bonds
now when they can be sold at an
exceptionally low interest rate
has no. been questioned, supports
ers declare. They believe only
failure of too many voters to 60
to the polls can defeat the Isl
sue.
Proposition
The proposition to be decided
at the polls is whether the Pas
cagoula Separate School District
shall issue $125,00 in bonds for
the erection and equipping of
a modern concrete and steel stad-
ium as a memorial to veterans
of World War ii in Pascagoula.
Much publicity has been given
the project and an architects
drawing of the proposed stad-
ium appeared in an earlier edi-
ton OF this newspaper, which is
also supporting the issue editor
tally.

ENLISTMENTS
ARE INCREASED
Greatest Increase in Men
With No Prior Army
Military Service
FOREIGN DUTY POPULAR

Voluntary enlistments in the
Regular Army in the First Army
Area-the six New England states,
New York, New Jersey and Della
ware-increased nearly one-third
during the second week of July
over the preceding week, for six
day total of 1,644, the U. S. Army
Recruiting Service, First Army,
has announced. Added to the 1883
enlisted during the first seven days
of the month, this brings the total
for the first half of July to 1887
men. Of these, 2,010 were report
ed from the three states of the
former Second Service Command,
and 887 from the New England
area. The greatest increase, near
ly 55 per cent, was in original en-
listments, by men with no prior
Army service. During the first
week there were 835 such enlist
ments, and during the second
week, 1925. The large number of
17-year-olds enlisting after compile
ton of high school studies, which
in some area spot checks is run
ming as high as so per cent of the
total original enlistments, as well
as the lure of the new higher
Army pay scale, are held response
BILE for the increases. In addition
to the 1925 original enlistments
there were 295 enlistments by men
who had wartime service in the
Army of the United States, and 81
Regular Army re-enlistments. For
eign service, under three-year en-
listments, attracted 502 of the L.
644 men, 364 of them original en-
listees, 113 AUS veterans and 25
Regular Army veterans. The Car
ibbean Defense Area was the most
popular theater selected, with 23e
men. The Pacific Theater was
second with 1877 men. Of the 1914
enlistments, I'll were for three
years, with the original enlist
ments leading with 465. There
were 148 two year enlistments, 14a
of them original, and 725 18-month
enlistments, 687 of them original

Physical Hazards of the High
way: Drive slowly and carefully
over strange roads. You wouldn't
run around strange room in the
dark. No sense speeding at a
blind corner you have never seen
before.
Intoxication: Liquor and gaso-
line never have and never will mix
and a drunken driver is nothing
but potential murderer. If you
have to drink, take a taxi. 1t Is
cheaper in the long run.
Mental Hazards: Inattention i;
a common cause of highway acci'
dents-day dreaming, window
shopping, enjoying scenery, and
such pastimes are not indulged ir
by the careful driver. Take youl
driving seriously-you are running
potential instrument of death.

process. 1t requires an alert mint
and a steady hand. 1t demand:

DEL. HIGHWAY
DEATHS MOUNT
Delaware's Highway Fatalit'
les Mount in Comparison
With Last Year
MAY REACH NEW HIGH

Delaware's highway fatalities
number 40 as compared with 81
for the corresponding period of
last year, according to the Della
ware Safety Council. The great
American urge to go places and
see things in an automobile is in
full swing and unless motorists use
great care and caution, Delaware's
automobile fatalities at the end of
the year will reach an all-time
high.
Suggestions Offered
The Council offers suggestions of
the kind of hazards you are going
to encounter and how to avoid
them: SPEED: Speed is a major
cause, but not THE major cause of
auto accidents. Drivers need to
develop a sense of relativity re-
garding speed. Fifty miles an hour
on lightly travelled road may be
safe under some conditions but
dangerous under others. Depend on
common sense rather than the
speedometer. Adjust your speed to
conditions and always obey the
prescribed regulations.
Improper Signalling
Improper Signalling: Know what
you are doing when you signal.
The other fellow has a right to
know what you are planning to do
and give him a break by always
signalling when you stop, turn or
pull away from the curb. TURN
ING: Be just as alert on turn as
you are when leaving the curb.
Give the pedestrian every benefit
when you round corners. He has
both the legal and moral right to a
safe crossing as long as he has
started with the go" signal.
Cutting Out of Line
Cutting Out of Line: In heavy
traffic stay in line. Collisions when
cutting around another car are u.s.
ually very serious because one US
ually speeds up to get ahead. Also
it is hard to judge the other fell
lows speed. Be sure the distance
from the on-coming car will allow
plenty of time to pass without hav-
ing to make a wild dash. Leaving
the curb is a common cause of
tragedy. Often times a driver is
too busy maneuvering his car into
the traffic line to pay much atten-
tion to what is coming up from be-
hind. Look before you start.
Dangers from in front and be-
hind: Highly important is the mat
ter of proper spacing. Keep safe
distance from other cars. Even
with four-wheel brakes it takes As
feet to stop if you are travelling 80
miles an hour and you can't stop
in less than 80 feet if you are NOV
ing at only 40 miles per hour.
Beating The Light: Some driv-
ers are like race horses at the bar
rier They have got to get away
first and lead the procession. 1t is
a silly idea because there aren't
any prizes for winning this kind of
race and usually there is another
stop light just little way down
the street 1t is nothing but a
showoff complex and any racer will
tell you that you only get penaliz-
ed if you jump the starters gun.
The Road Hog: Better give him
all the room he wants. If you
don't the chances are more than
even for an accident and he will
