tudes as "Gestapo tactics" and the truth
crushed shall rise again"
Where Representative May should defend
himself, if he has a defense, is by testifying
under oath before the War investigating
committee.
We know of no greater breach of faith than
that of an elected public official who uses
his office te either obtain graft or promote
his W personal financial interests but, I'M
fortunately, such cases are not by any means
rare.
On the basis of evidence uncovered so far,
Representative May is a public official OF
the above character and unless he can clear
himself by testimony under oath he merits
prosecution as such to the fullest extent OF
the law.
But in the nullabaloo about Representative
MAY, the committee should not lose its in
terest in the affairs of the Batavia Metal
Products Company, described as a sprawl
ing paper empire" which, on the basis of
evidence before the committee, used the war
time sweat, blood and death of the American
people to profiteer to the tune of millions of
dollars.
If the committees work is vigorously push
ed other such concerns will be uncovered
The men heading and responsible for such
concerns are criminals of the worst type and
deserve treatment as such.

A. P. MoY Talks To
Worth While Club On
Juvenile Delinquency

In On enlightening talk before
the Worth While club Wedres-
day morning at Lincoln hall, A.
p. May, YMCA director, discus
sed the why and wherefore of
juvenile delinquency in Pasca-
goula.
Youthful delinquency is a sit
uation that must be corrected,
according to Mr., May, If the flu
ture of our city, of our country
is to be secure. 1t is up to
che hightthinking members OF
society to work out a solution.
Causes are many, said the
speaker, but first and foremost
among them is parental neglect
from infancy up. Much of this
Is caused by parents desire to
earn more money, another has
been helping the wal effort along,
to the detriment of the home.
The present juvenile laws in
Mississippi are unenforceable be-
cause no money has been set
aside to see that they are obeyed.
There are 1920 children in Pas
cagoula alone, said Mr.. May, who

Former Editor Of

Advertiser and former editor Of
the Chronicle Star, and Mrs, Scott

Mr.. Scott organized the Adver-

two years later he bought the
Chronicle in Pascagoula. In 1920
he purchased the Democrat Star
which was his competitor in
P~ascagoula and consolidated the
two papers into the Chronicle
Star. But he only had the pleas

paper for a year before a disas-

Eastlown Stop Signs

There seems to be some misunderstanding
between Federal Public Housing Authority
officials here and the city administration
as to who is responsible for the street stop
signs-or lack of them-in the Eastlawn
area. And as is usually the case where res
possibility is divided or uncertain, the pub
lie is the loser.
Hardly a week goes by without another
automobile collision in Eastlawn and the
evidence points in most cases to drivers at
tempting to beat each other to a crossing
and arriving there at the same time. We
believe even the law enforcement officers
would be confused in some instances as to
just who has the right of way at intersec-
tons in the project.
Frankly, we don't know who is respon-
sible for the lack of stop signs but we think
it is high time that the officials affected get
together and decide, and do something about
the situation after the decision is made and
the responsibility fixed.
The cost will be borne by the citizens in
either case and we are sure the money
would be we'll spent in the reduction of
property and personal damage that would
result.

trials in large-scale orchard tests
have given from 80 to IS per
cent kill of all worms on the
sprayed portion of the trees.
A cheaper formula has also
been developed which has given
fair results. AT least one proprie-
tary concentrate has been prepar-
ed, based on this formula, which
is available.
To the proprietary concentrate,
which contains dissolved dinitra-

user must add the stove or diesel

This concentrate should be

the local health problems Of each
district will be considered and

center upon what facilities are
available in each district to meet

that later rural health meetings

The farm leaders who met at

which indicate that during recent
years rural health has been de-

RURAL HEALTH

RURAL HEALTH
Many of the important farm
organizations of Washington state
were represented at a meeting
held recently at the State Col
lege of Washington to discuss the
problem of rural health in Wash
ington. To the farm leaders at
tending this meeting it was point
ed out that surveys reveal there
are too few doctors, dentists and
other health workers in the rural
areas of Washington. It was also
shown that hospitals and other
health facilities are inadequate.
Among the persons at Pullman
who gravely considered this prob
lem were representatives of the
State Grange, the State Depart
ment of Health, the State De-
partment of Agriculture, the

Thriving Tomatoes

Tomatoes thrive best and bear
best in moderate temperatures.
Plants require generous amounts Of
water in hot dry weather. They
also need to have side dressings of
a good fertilizer or nitrate of soda
at intervals of some two weeks to
keep them growing and blooming.
Keep them free from insects, wa
tered and growing, and when cooler
weather comes they should set
fruit.
