ed Jackson County All Club girls
to continue with food preservation
projects in 1916 in a talk before

as possible, she said. She rec
ommended canning, picking,
brining, freezing, drying and stor-
ing as methods for laying up a
store OF food. Mrs. Fielder gave
Instructions for canning fruits
with a small amount of sugar and

Authority To Settle
Mississippi Line Row
Asked Of Legislature
Bill Requesting "A Survey And Permit To
File friendly Suit" Introduced BY Krebs
And Is Now Before House Committee

Concrete steps were taken this
week in the move to establish
the eastern boundary of Missis-
sippi to protect the states oil
rich tidal lands and end the reign
of ~lawlessness in the Free State
of Stateline.
The Associated Press reported
late yesterday afternoon that the
Attorney General-draWn bill to
authorize a survey of the Missis-
sippi-Alabama line had gone to
a committee, as the latest de-
velopment in the case. 1t was
introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives Wednesday by j..
Guy Krebs, Jackson and Harri-
son county legislator, at the re-
quest of Attorney General Greek
l.. Rice.
Earlier this week, Mr. Rice told
the Chronicle Star and Adver-
tiser that he and Alabama Attor-
ney General Prime F. Osborn
had agreed at a Jackson meeting
to let the United States Supreme
Court settle the boundary dis
pute by Mississippi filing a
friendly suit" against Alabama.
Alabama is as anxious to
have the matter settled as we
are, MI. Rice said, Mississippi
is filing the action only because
our legislature is in session and
it will expedite the settlement"
He stressed that the matter
may not be settled Immediately
that court actions take time.
But the passage of the bill intro
'duced by Representative Krebs
would pave the way for a speedier
settlement, it was believed here,
The current move to settle the
129-year-old controversy began
here last month when the Jack
son County Board of Supervisors
complied with a recommends
ton of the last Grand Jury and
applied directly to the Governor
for aid in establishing the line.
The bill now in committee pro-
vides that the survey would be
made under the direction of the
Governor. Cost would be borne
jointly BY the two states and the
bill specifically provides that il
does not authorize the Governor
to obtain additional land for Mis-
sissippi nor give to Alabama any
land now belonging to MissS-
sippi. 1t also authorizes a friend
ly case in the United States Su.
preme Court to validate the line
agreed upon by the two states

Paper Industry
Discusses Plans
To Save Streams

Plans for the treatment and
prevention of pollution in the
pulp and paper. manufacturing
industries were discussed at a
meeting Tuesday at Edgewater
Park of the Southern regional
committee of the National Coun-
Gil for Stream Improvement and
members of state regulatory
agencies.
Members of the regional COM
mittee reported that their organ
ization had made an agreement
with Louisiana State University
whereby the university would
conduct a research program in
the methods of treating wastes
from the paper making process.
The southern committee of the
National council is composed of
representatives of the paper in
dustries in nine southern states,
The meeting was presided over
by Major J. H. Friend of Mobile,
vice president of the Internation-
al Paper Company, and general
manager of the Southern Kraft
Division.
Members of the regional COM
mittee said the program at LSU
will supplement Investigations
being conducted by the Mellon
Institute and will be sponsor
ed by programs at the University
of Alabama and Texas Ann.
Sanitation Engineer
The committee also advised the
state regulatory agency repre-
sentatives that William Moggio,
sanitation engineer, has been APP
pointed to visit Southern paper
industries and aid in pollution
problems.
Initial research activities. ac-
cording to committee members,
will be aimed at finding a solu-
ton to the problems created by
dilute wash-waters from kraft
mills.
Members of a technical sub
committee which has investigat-
ed pollution effects during the
past year declared the problem
must be attacked from a biochem-
ical angle. They said the fact
that streams eventually purify
waste dilutes is evidence the sol
ution lies in biochemieal research.
Turning to legislation, r. Fl.
Freeman, head of the Mississippi
Game and Fish Commission, was
called on to outline an anti-pol-
luton measure pending in the
state Legislature.
He explained the measure in
its present condition will pro-
vide "closer supervision over in
6ustries involved in waste-pro-
ducing manufacturing. The bill
provides that industries must
submit a report to a state board
stating the amount of waste that
win be released in streams. Free
man disclosed.
This, he said. will set certain
standards which will help regu-
late the flow OF waste products
into streams.

Rush For Sugar
Swamps Stores
In Buying Wave

More than a ton of sugar went
over the counters of retail stor-
es Monday in Jackson County
and into the empty or near
empty bowls of citizens who stag
ed a rush on grocery stores at
opening time to use their valid
No. 9 canning sugar stamp.
The Jackson County Price and
Rationing Board was swamped
with telephone calls from per
sons who believed that the stamp
was good for Monday only and
from persons who asked if ap-
plication forms were needed A
large part of the blame for the
confusion fell to the Mississippi
Office of Price Administration
for failure to notify the press
or merchants of their plans IN
time TO make them known to
the public.
In a belated release dated Mon
day, OPA District Director w. h.
Holcomb said that application
forms would not be required and
pointed out that the No, 9 stamp,
good for five pounds of sugar,
would remain valid until October
81. The release also said that
another stamp would be validat-
ed in June OF July and that the
two would be this years alloea-
ton for home canning.
Outlook Gloomy

still extremely tight, with no
signs of immediate Improvement,

Use these timely tips
and cast a spell over
your Halloween meals

TTIss'T Halloween! Turn cookery
into spookery. Bubble, bubble,
no toll, no trouble - if you use these
magic tips to bewitch your holiday
table.
COLLINS are gourmands. heap the
sandwich platter with funny-face
cutouts. Cut circles from Boston
brown bread and in half the lot
make eyes, nose, mouth with sharp
pointed knife. Spread remaining
slices generously with a filling to
contrast with the color Of the bread,
then press on the faces so the filling
bulges through cutouts. A yellow
cheese mixture is good with
brown bread. Ham, or tongue
spread, does nicely on white.
If it's buffet-supper menu with
a hot dish, pass the Halloween bread
instead of sandwiches. Thinly slice
orange and brown bread and with
eooky cutters press into stars, half
moons, four leaf clovers, horseshoes,
cats. Serve on a candlelighted tray.
Ghost Stalls
GHOSTS walk on sandwich trays.
Stuff celery stalks with cream cheese
using raisins for features, leafy
celery ends for the arms, the leaves
to f1utter as hands. Stand the ghosts
to guard the sandwich piles.
Top individual meat pies with
rings of baking powder. biscuit
dough wearing goblin faces formed
by cutting triangular holes for eyes
and nose and a curved slit for a
mouth.
Fill orange shells with whipped
sweet potatoes mixed with orange
juice and seasonings. Draw goblin
faces on shells using India ink Top
the potato mixture with hat made
of marshmallows, then oven tan.
Creamed dish for the entree? Say
creamed chicken, or creamed eggs
with mushroom, or a cheese rarebit?
Serve from a black, iron kettle, the
three-legged kind if you have one
handy. Place on the buffet table
against a background of orange,
crepe paper and corn stalks. Serve
with long handled spoon.
Give hot-potato salad the evil
eye look with slices of hard-cooked
egg, each circle faced" with ripe
olive snips. Another idea is to top
the salad bowl with a hard-cooked-

to do. Spear hard-cooked, shelled
egg on a lollipop stick or meat
skewer; add olive features for face.
Tie white napkin to the stick just
under the egg for billowy shroud.
Canned peach halves make our
bogeyman salad. Turn peaches,

slender top ends to resemble broom
handles. Slash root ends to make
fine strips one-and-one-half inches
long, this for the brush. Place in ice
water with two slices of lemon and
the slashed strips separate and curl.
Pumpkin pies wear pumpkin
faces. Raisins and ships of date
form the features, outline with
orange peel.
