School Aid
Bill Passes
In Congress
Pose dgould And
Moss Point Get
Federal Gronts

The Pascagoula and Moss Point
school systems got a one-hun-
bred thousand dollar "shot-in-
the arm" this week, assuring
full-scale educational programs
in both communities similar to
that provided in recent years,
with final passage by Congress
to continue for one year the
Lanham Act federal aid to
schools in communities which re-
main ~abnormally crowded as the
result Of wartime conditions.
Notification of passage of the
bill continuing the Lanham act
assistance was received in a wire
this week from Rep. William M.
Colmer and Senator Jim East
land, who conducted a hard "up-
hill battle" for the measure in
its victory over stiff opposition
in both the Senate and the
House. The bill, which original
ed in the House, provided for
the expenditure of about S.
100000 in all for a number of
communities throughout the
country whose educational sys-
TENS are still disrupted as a re-
suit of the war.
Large Enrolment
Conditions at Pascagoula were
described by Rep. Colmer in the
debate as a typical example of
the difficulties faced by such
communities. Rep. Colmer point
ed out that Pascagoula now has
a school enrolment of approx
mately 1000 students, which is
close to the total population of
the town in years before the war.
A large proportion of these
students reside with their parents
in the federal housing project,
which is not subject to taxes and
therefore makes no direct contri-
button to the support of the
school system. Rep. Colmer told
Congress he considered it the. du-
ty of the federal government to
assure adequate education for
all children of such eommuni-
ties for at least another year,
until general economic readjust-
ments could be further along the
way in the national picture.
In their telegram Senator
Eastland and Rep. Colmer said
they were told by the Republi-
can leadership of Congress that
this extension of federal aid was
absolutely the last time" and
that Pascagoula and Moss Point
schools along with all other SIM
liar communities would be
strictly on the town. after
the 1947-48 session.
Superintendent Help
Superintendent Thomas r.
Wells and Luther w. Tanner
helped prepare the way for final
passage of the bill by explaining
the facts and figures of the sit
uation to a subcommittee in
Washington and in private con-
tact with congressman.
Superintendent Wells said that
Pascagoula was absolutely un-
able to undertake the support
of a school system on the scale
which has been possible because

Hospital News

Walking down Walnut Street the
other day the writer heard one lady
greet another lady with the ques-
tion, Have you got the Christmas
spirit YETI" and the other lady re-
piled, I'm just full of it, The one
word which seems to express best
what the Christmas spirit is, is the
word goodwill" The choiring an
gels sang about it, Tiny Tins God
bless us every one" was Charles
Dickens way of expressing it, and
the reader knows that without good
will, there is no Christmas. All of
this season is filled with the story
of humble babe who grew to mans
estate and was primarily the giver
and bringer of goodwill. One of the
best ways that we can promote that
spirit of goodwill is to remember
your hospital at this Christmas
tide. We are endeayoring to the best
of our abaility in His name to heal
the sick SO dear to Him. We do not
ask about race, class, religion, or
nationality, but only may we help.
The great task and privilege that
we face at this lovely season is to
make our goodwill intelligent. Re-
member the patient in the hospital.
Remember the institution itself. 1t
], is here to serve the people of this
community. 1t is a non-profit in
stitution. 1t can only exist as 1t has
the goodwill of the people. In your
! giving this Christmas, remember
your hospital. The officers, nursing
staff, physicians, and all at the hos
pital say to you and for you God
bless us every one"
