Council Debates
Library Rowing
Cows And Safety

A permanent site for the Pasca-
goula Library took up most OF
the discussion at the Tuesday
night meeting of the Civic Coun-
ell at 18th Street Auditorium and
the group agreed to call the mat
ter to the attention of the City
Planning Commission for con-
sideration in the future when
federal funds are available.
The entire group agreed that
the present location-on the Sec
ond floor Of the Market Street
Recreation Buildings far from
.deal and several propositions
were offered, among them that
q combination war memorial and
library be built. Another sugges-
ton was that the present main
post office building in Pasca-
goula be used when a new fed
era1 building is constructed here.
The rowing cow situation was
again discussed and the consen-
sus seemed to be that only public
opinion would remedy the sit
uation and result in the protec-
ton of citizens yards and flowers.
The city's pound keeper, while
said to be conscietious and hard
working, was unable to cope with
the problem at all times, it was
said.
The Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton representatives called atten-
ton to violation of traffic regu-
lations in the Beach Elementary
School zone and a representa-
tive of the city government
pledged cooperation. The repres-
entative of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce, sponsoring organi-
cation of the safety patrol among
the youngsters, also agreed to
have the young patrolmen fur
Their instructed in their duties.

Rotary Observes
Youth Week With
School Leaders

Pascagoula Rotarians observed
Youth Week at the regular We'd
nesday luncheon, with a speech
by a acknowledgements worker in
the youth field for which the
guest list included the teaching
staff of the High school and a
number of leading students.
The speaker. John Dallavaux,
of Rutland, Vermont, told of his
long background of experience OF
working with young people, and
said that development of the
quality of self-reliance in chill
dren was the ore of any success
full educational project.
"You don't teach a child how
to do things for himself by do
ing them for him." Mr.. Dallavaux
said. "A child must be shown
how to take care of himself, and
encouraged to do So"
Young people must learn, he
said, that most of the things they
want in life they must achieve
or create by their own efforts.
They should be encouraged to
choose the work in life which
pleases them most, and for which
they are best adapted in this
way they will lead useful lives,
and become seH-reliant people.
yet at the same time life will
always hold something of the
zest of a perpetual vacation for
them because they will be do
ing the things that they like to
do.
It is injurious to a young per-
sonality, he said, TO let it be-
lieve that its every wish and de-
sire must be gratified. Criminal
tendencies are often developed,
he said, by encouraging a child
to believe that he can expect to
be given anything he asks for.
Most of the things human be-
ings experience and enjoy in life
clothing. cooked food, houses
and so forth-are not provided
by nature, but are created and
artificial products of mans ef-
tort: and a child must be made
to see that to enjoy these bene-
fits of civilization he must con
tribute to the effort.
In addition TO the teaching
staff of the High school. student
leaders including members Of the
honorary Beta club, were guests
of Rotarians at the meeting.

Plan No Chance
In Highway 80
Route Bush Says

No change in the route Of High
way 90 between Moss Point, Pas
cagoula and Ocean Springs Is in
cluded in the present fhree-year
state and federal highway build
ing program, Munden Bush, high
way commissioner for the South
ern District. told a group of APP
proximately is jackson county
business men at a meeting held
last Friday at the Chamber OF
Commerce offices in Pascagoula.
The meeting was called be-
cause of reports that Highway
90 would be re-routed through
Moss Point and Pascagoula.
Mr.. Bush told those in at
tendance az the meeting THAT
q survey of a new route had been
made by the state highway de-
partment at the request Of the
Bureau Of Public Roads so that
surveys Of two routes would be
available for the future.
The new survey carries the
highway off of Lake avenue di-
rectly across the marsh and would
require an estimated three and
one-haIf TO -four million dollars to
build. Mr.. Bush said.
New building including a
projected hotel for Pascagoula,
are affected in any proposed
changes of the highway. Hcrmes
T. Gautier, president Of the cham
Der, and J. w. Brumfield, chair
man OF the chambers hotel COM
mittee, explained.
In answer Mr.. Bush repeated
his statement. and added that mo
change lin the highway that will
affect property values to any ex-
tent" Is planned.
Inspect Highway SO
The subject of Highway SO
between Moss Point and Esca-
fawpa was also discussed. Dur
ing the recent heavy rains the
highway approaches to the Esca-
taWpa river bridge were impas-
sabie Ter sevszral days. and the
road has sunken so that during
high tides il Is covered and also
impossible. Residents explained
that the condition was danger
u and worked a hardship on
Escatawpa residents. One factor,
IL was pointed out, Is that during
times when the road Is impassa-
bic the nearest doctor available
to residents of the section is 40
miles away.
Mr.. Bush inspected the stretch
following the meeting and said
that the condition was an emerg-
ency and that money for neces-
sary work could be taken from
the departments emergency
funds.
However, in a long distance
telephone conversation with the
Chronicle-Sta Monday MI.
Bush said that no work could be
undertaken on the stretch until an
engineering survey had been
made and engineers recommen-
dations studied.
When asked how soon such
a survey would be made he ex-
planned that the department has
only five engineering crews avail
able for work throughout the
state and that II would probably
be "about go days before it
could be done.

By Harry Macarthur

When the French spice a motion
picture with Gallo wit they are
wonderful. But when they try to
bring off something not native
such as a copy of an American
musical, with slapstick comedy-the
result is likely to be disaster. The
result in the case of "Whirlwind OF
Paris" which opened yesterday at
the Hippodrome, may not be disaster.
but it certainly is dullness. This
film is the first musical to come out
of France in some time and pre-
sumably is a postwar production
1t may very we'll be, for there are
number of evidences of the present
French poverty to be noted. The un-
fortunate aspect is that there are
more evidences in the picture of
poverty of ideas than anything else.
"Whirlwind of Paris seems to
have been designed as a cinematic
tribute to Ray Ventura, the man
credited with introducing American
jazz to France Mr.. Ventura appar-
emily has been away long time

comprised for the most part OF
a three-way combination of the
early Ray Noble, the middle Horace

There are some bright moments

involves mad but brief parody OF
grand opera in the Wagnerian ira
dition, truly Gallo in its satire.
But even here the director, instead
of allowing its comedy to stand
on it's own, points at the opera
stage and in effect shouts, That's
joke, audience!" The French
seem to be going moral on us, too.
There is, for example, the school,
master here, who works out the
best system yet for beating roulette,
one which increases the probability
of some one elses famed system by
LAT per cent. He's no gambler;
just does it as hobby. Well, by

Natures Children

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY

Rudyard Kipling in his Just So
Stories" made thousands of readers
aware of the dingo of Australia
through his yellow Dog Dingo.'
The dingo is a true canine whose
origin is still clouded in mystery
Scientists still wonder If the dingo
was introduced into Australia by the
aborigines or wandered there in pre-
historic days.
Until valuable and imported sheep
herds were built up in Australia
dingos were very abundant. Not
having been trained to let stock
alone, and being hungry, the dingos
came out in packs and destroyed
sheep. Then herders turned upon
the gregarious dogs, killing them by
the thousands until they are becom-
ing almost rare except in the widest
parts Of the country.
The dingo resembles a medium
sized tawny-orange domestic dog
with long straight limbs and long
bushy tail, nearly always tipped with
white. Variation of color which
ranges from tan to fox red and
