Veterans Hospitdl
For Thanksgiving

Through the Community Serv-
ice for Camp and Hospital of the
Jackson County Chapter of the
American Red Cross the main
dining hall at the Veterans hos
pital in Biloxi was beautifully

pared by Mrs. James DERRICK,

Smith, Mrs. Maxine Haynes, John
Haynes and MI. and Mrs. David

The flowers were contributed
by individuals throughout the

bearing the name of each ar
rangement was placed on the
tables.
The Gay Nineties' arrange
ment consisted of an old fashion
ed lady's straw hat turned up
side down holding a painted con-
tainer filled with gaily colored
chrysanthemums. Another ar
rangement of dried leaves, seed
pods, and grass was labeled, "How
Dry / Am" A brown stone jug
holding huge branches of red
berries bore the name Little
Brown Jug"
The patients of the hospital re-
ceived much enjoyment from
these arrangements and the gaily
decorated hall helped make this

Your Horoscope

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9. 1947
This day gives an impulsive
nature, disposed to rush into at
fairs and, too often, soon falling
out of them. The nature is af-
fectionate and probably demon
strative, but inclined to wall over
troubles that are really too small
to notice. In many cases, good
fortune follows, through en-
thusiasm for a certain kind of
work.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1917
-lToday's nature is stubborn, per-
~haps persevering, undoubtedly
vindictive. Fond of display and
not easily forgetting an injury, it
shows a lifting from an obscure
position to prominent one,
probably attaining success
through sticking to business
closely.
