Save Price Control

its own short-sightedness during the 1920's
we think it is best for business to head off
a wild boom for its own good. and for the
nations good.
Recently in New Orleans. when the cell
ing price on shrimp was lifted. the price
jumped overnight more than. 20 per cent.
We warrant that shrimp in that market
will soon be selling for twice the ceiling
price. Here in P~ascagoula. after OPA prices
were removed from canned preserves. the
prices went quickly from 80 cents a pint to
I'll and from 81 cents a quart to Sl.l6-re-
flecting rises in the wholesale prices. This
is typical of what happens when price con-
troll is killed in an inflationarY period.
In conversation recently with a local mer-
chant, he expressed his views on this issue
in an interesting way: Il nave SEQ, 900 worth
of goods, bought at the old prices, in my ware
house. If they kill the ceilings and | jack up
the prices | can make a lot of money. But
| also have seven or eight. relatives in sal
aried jobs like school-teaching, and they
would be hit by high prices as much as |
would be helped. My business is satisfactory
as it stands, and | would rather have prices
relatively stabilized than in a wild initiation
airy runaway"
That makes sense to us.

A. J. Moss was named presi-
dens OF the Pascagoala Junior

It seems to us that a whole lot of congress
men have been risking their political futures
in this election year by trying to kill the
principal of price control and labelling OPA
with all kinds of bad names, when very near
ly nine out of ten average people, and even
small merchants who understand the situa-
ton, are solidly for price control until the UNI
stable postwar reconversion period is well
over II seems to US also that the argument of
the enemies of OP.A that "the way to pre-
vent initiation is to kill price control is OBJ
vious bunk. Profits in the average business
covered by price ceilings-and that includes
us all--have been reasonably good under
the wartime program, with very few ex-
ceptions. And we think that that portion of
the business community which seems de-
termined to create inflated prices-chiefly
the big manufacturers with tremendous
warehouse supplies-are seeking to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg. We ourselves
don't want to see a great boom in thsi coun-
try. Any one who can read a history book or
a chart, can see that all of our great booms
have been followed by terrific busts. And

BY NoLLE T. ROBERTS

We were present on Monday
night at the recovery of a jack
o County community which had
been almost mortally wounded
five years ago. Vancleave, in the
northwest part of the county,
was a thriving community for
two decades with an exceptional
consolidated high school about
which the community life large
~ revolved.
The school had first class agri-
cultural and home economics de-
partments and one of the best
rural libraries in the state. 1t
was an ever present threat to
the Class A schools of the gulf
coasi in athlete and literary
competition and its students and
patrons were justly proud of its
standing and accomplishments.
Then a fire burned the build
ings to the ground one night and
the physical plant was a total
loss. The school had been one
of the best, but it admittedly
was IN a bad location-in the
fork of two creeks that some
times flooded the area-and the
question of where a new plant
should be located was enough
to split the community in half.
A community, like a house,
cannot long prosper when its

Testimonial Dinner At Country Club

Among the outstanding social
events Of the past week was a
dinner at the Country Club last
SATURDAY. evening honoring the
Reverend J. ]. Curley, who de
parts Friday for 4 visit to his old
home in Ireland.
The dinner was planned as a
testimonial to Father Curley of
the love ard admiration that is
held for him in Pascagoula and
was participated in by over eigh-
~ of his friends.
The tables al which the diners
were seated were beautifully dec
Grated with magnolias whose

mented with shamrock added
extra color.
Stanley Bebler acted as toast
master and tributes to Father

members are divided but this
community had stamina born of
long years of accomplishments
and associations and it requier-
ed half a decade to bring it pros
trate even when its main artery
had been severed.
II is a trite but true saying
that churches and schools make
a community and that conditions
of these institutions reflect the
pfogressiveness of its citizens.
Certainly property values are
based largely on these factors
for both residences and business
es.
The citizens as a whole in Van
cleave have again awakened to
that fact and are militantlv de
termined to do something about

striving to obtain outside finan
eial aid, they have virtually ris-
en- as one man with a single pur-
pose: To get a school and to get
il now.
The mass meeting Monday
night was a healthy sign and We
firmly believe that the $45. 1000
bond issue which they propose
to vote will go over with FLYING
colors. And equally significant
is the fact that the community
has once again been drawn to-
gether by a common need and
with a single purpose.

recently between Bessemer and

wild flowers were in full bloom
and the fields were covered with

Miss Langston declared that Atty

erately attempting to obscure the
fact that the existence of the Khan
was called to the attention of Mr..
Goldstein as the result of a threat

letter to Governor Dewey that The
