To Take Bids
On Memorial
War Stadium

Sealed bids for the construc-
ton of Pascagoula's $125,000 War
Memorial stadium will be opened
by the board of trustees of the
Pascagoula Separate School Dis
trict on October 10Th, according
to a legal advertisement carried
in this issue of the Chronicles Star
and Advertiser.
The board had authorized
Thomas r. Wells, superintendent
of city schools, some weeks ago to
secure a federal permit for the
construction. This has been Sc
cured, Mr.. Wells said, and COM
pleted preparations for letting of
bids.
II is hoped that actual construc4
ton of the stadium can begin on
or before the first of the year, and
that the work will be completed
in ample time for the 1948 foot
ball season.
The new concrete and steel sta
dunn with a seating capacity of
5000 will be located in the area
directly behind the Market street
recreation building and in front
of the present ball park. The
area will provide ample parking
space for automobiles.

Enrolled In
County Schools

Approximately 7750 students
have enrolled in Jackson county's
80 county, city and parochial
schools for the 1947-48 session,
an increase of approximately four

ment, a check this week revealed.
All schools showed an increased

In the Pascagoula schools,
where about As percent of stu
dents are enrolled, an increase
of less than 100 students is indi-
Gated in comparison with figures
released by school authorities at
the opening Of school last year.
Less than 800 students are en-
rolled in the county's three white

and negroes represent about ID
percent of the total enrolment
in the county.
Thus far, no emergency certifi-
Gates have been issued to teach
ers in the county and the number
of degree teachers is up consider
ably over last year and the wal
years.
An increased enrolment is indi-
Gated through the state. State SUI
perintendent J. NJ. Tubb told the
Chronicles Star and Advertiser by
long distance telephone. Emerg-
ency certificates for teachers are

OF the 1000 issued last year, Mr..
Tubb said. and they are mostly
in the negro school systems.
Average daily attendance in
the public schools in the state
last year was 450, 900 Mr. Tubb
said, divided between 100000
white and $4,000 negro students.
There are 100000 more negro chill

Pascagoula Port
And Waterway

Endorsement of the develop
ment of Pascagoula as the finest
potential harbor on the Gulf
coast, and construction of the
Pat Harrison waterway to de-
velop this section of Mississippi
were contained in a resolution
adopted by the American Fedora
ton of Labor meeting in its an
nual state convention this week
at Jackson.
The resolution in full follows:
WHEREAS, Pascagoula, Mis-
sissippi, has the best potential
port and harbor to be found on
the whole Gulf Coast from Mex
leo to the Florida Keys, only 8
miles from the mouth of Pasca-
goula River to open Gulf and
deep water, and
WHEREAS, Pascagoula and
Leaf River leading to Hattiesburg
have in the past been used by
river steamers, and the Pasca-
goula, Leaf and Tallahla can
easily be made navigable to Lau-
rel, and through Pascagoula and
Chicasawhay Rivers navigation
can be extended to Meridian and
all intermediary points, and
WHEREAS, all these are feas-
ible and can be put into opera
ton at nominal cost, thereby
opening up vast territory to de-
velopment that is now undevelop-
ed, and
"WHEHEAS, this development
gives every promise of being self
liquidating and paying dividends,
and
WHEREAS, this development
would industrialize the whole
Mississippi Gulf Coast, and be
beneficial to every city on the
Gulf Coast and several of our
inland cities directly. and
w HEREAS S, the carrying
through of this project will fur
labor to several thousand
for many years to come, and
WHEREAS, much of this la
Dor would have to be drawn
from every part of the State,
thereby benefiting great numbers
of our working men directly and
every inhabitant of the State in
directly, and
WHEREAS, surveys are now
being made by U. S. Engineers
and the procuring of approval
looks promising,
THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED by this Mississippi
State Federation of Labor assem-
bled, that we go or record as
favoring and giving moral sup
port to the proposal"

A capacity crowd of veterans
from Districts One and Two jam
med the Moss Point Fire Hall
Wednesday night to hear plans
outlined for the formal applica-
ton for a charter for the new
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post
in Moss Point.
Commander F. w. Cirlot an
nounced that a committee was in
vestigating the selection of the
NAME of a deceased World War
II veteran, whose name the new
post would bear. He further an
nounced that an effort would be
made by the post to establish a
correct list of the World War
II dead from Districts One and
Two of Jackson County.
Carl Delcomyn of Pascagoula,
as the chairman of a committee
from the Paseagoula V. F. w. post
appointed to work out with the
American Legion and the Dis
abled American Veterans an Arm
istiee Day program, invited the
Moss Point post to participate in
the program. The invitation was
unanimously accepted, and a COM
mittee consisting of F. w. Cirlot,
Milton Mickey Hill and Harold
Monroe, was designated to handle
the details of Moss Points partici-
patton in the program.
Announcement was made that
an initial supply of World War
II Victory medals had been re-
ceived bv the Moss Point post,
and that the date for the dis
tribution of such medals would
be announced at a later date.
Panther Tiger Game
Ways and means to raise funds
for the activities of the organi-
cation were discussed. During
the general discussion, it was
pointed out that one project the
new post could undertake imme-
diately would be to make an eff
fort to re-eStabliSh football rela-
lions between Moss Point and
Pascagoula. During the animat-
ed discussion on the project va
rious members pointed out that
apparently football relations be-
tween the two cities had been
dropped because some people
were under the impression that
1t aroused animosity between the
two communities, pointing out
that the difficulty had been with
the spectators, rather than the
teams. One member remarked
that he knew of no casualties tax
ing place at any of the games. and
that no game ever played by the
two teams had been as rough as
the Moss Point Biloxi game play
last year.
1t was further pointed out
that the diScontinuanee of foot
ball relations between the two
schools was actually hurting the
athletic program of each school,
since such programs were sus-
tanned IN a large part by football
receipts, and the Moss Point-Pas-
eagoula game always was a sell
out By unanimous vote the post
authorized Commander Cirlot to
appoint a committee to work in
conjunction with the Pascagoula
