The Carson munitions scandal, involving
high ranking officers of the Armed Forces,
Congressman, and wealthy business men, is
to be investigated by a federal grand jury
in the District of Columbia. Senator Brew
ster, a member of the Senate war investigat-
ing committee which spent six weeks delv-
ing into the mess of bribery and corruption,
says that in justice to Representative An
drew j. May, whose name figured promin-
emily in the scandal, the committee should
arrange for his early appearance. May is
supposed to be i'll and recuperating from a
heart attack at his Kentucky home, and we
doubt seriously that he shares Senators
Brewster's sentiments in regards to his APP
pearance before the committee. We hope the
District of Columbia investigation will bring
the full facts of this scandal to the surface.

EditorioHy Speaking

The Junior Chamber of Commerce de-
serves a generous measure of credit for the
manner in which they sponsored and staged
the first annual Gulf Coast Horse Show in
Paseagoula during the past week end.
The show was interesting, entertaining,
well staged, and drew entries from three
states. Some of these entries, such as Cot
ton Pickin' Mac, winner of the Tennessee
walking horse class, are winners of national
trophies.
This group of young men were completely
inexperienced in the handling of horse
shows, but they studied the problem, work
ed hard and well and. we believe, laid the
foundation for an annual event that will
prove an important asset to the community
in which they live. They deserve common
dation for the show.

that money first to put in the
much needed sewers on Jack

Milk Must Contain

Madison, Wis. = Milk may

tlty-in addition to calcium
that helps prevent tooth decay,

In their experiments, ami
mails developed exceptionally
fine teeth on a diet of miner
allied milk, they said. This
was not unexpected, for milk
is high protein and fat but low

teeth But even when sugar
was added to the milk to pro-

said, suggest the presence in
milk o. a specific but yet un-

tween Moss Point and Pasca-
goula and the two cities have
gotten together with the high
way group to widen to the curb
in the city limits. Otherwise,
1t will be a much needed foot
on each side of the highway
and recapping job on the
whole.
This should be a soothing
balm to the jagged nerves of
those who have had to travel
this highway during the rush
hours. And the fact that con-
tracts are being asked for pile
driving and repair of the bridg-
es between Pascagoula and
Gautier should be source of
satisfaction to persons who
travel this route. Particularly
those who can't swim.

IN the community favor the
project, particularly the gym
part.
Wade is basketball country
and some of the county's best
teams have been produced
there year after year despite
the handicap of p~racticing ON
an outdoor court and PLAYING
most of the important games

A number of Wade bows once
helped pound the clay courts
to near cement hardness with
their running feet, now lie
where they fell in battle over
seas for they fought the enemy

TO win that they displayed in
ball games too few years ago.
We have suggested before
and re want to recommend
again that the new Wade gym
be dedicated to the memories
OF those who will romp and
ring long ones no more on
earth so that the youngsters
who use the gym might be
free to play basketball instead
of housekeeping to youth
meetings.
We think it would be a fit

Beginning here in Pasca-

bids TO extend Watts Avenue
from Magnolia to Frederic

News, as it relates to a coun-
ty weekly, comes in fits and
starts. The same is true ma
tionally and on the world
wide basis, but we notice it
more on a county paper where
our area and population is linn
tied and where what you do
or don't do, say or don't say,
write or don't write, is the
gauge of our news, to a large
extent.
We have a book in our of
fice-an ordinary little two
bit ledger-in which we list
each week the events that are
scheduled to happen and the
possible leads on stories that
come to us by word of mouth,
owe the telephone, or as a re-
suit of the staff's own obser-
walton.
sometimes the news is good
and sometimes bad, and these
classifications seem to come in
spurts also. For example, if
we have a murder one week
end, there is likely to be a
burglary, a cutting scrape, or
a serious highway accident to
go along with it. Good news,
too, often comes in punches
like bananas.
As this is written Tuesday
morning.. it looks like a good
news week. Some of you out
there may shoot your neighbor,
beat your wife, or fail to make
