We Endorse The New Electric Franchise Granted
By The Board Of Mayor and Councilmen Of
Pascagoula Because:

/. The new franchise simply extends nonexdusive rights now held by the
Mississippi Power Company. The Company has made large expenditures
for electric facilities in the City in the faith that good service would merit
a vote of continued confidence in the form of franchise renewal The
Company has also announced ar additional large scale construction pro-
gram involving facilities with life long beyond the present franchise.
q The proposed new payment to the City of 2E of gross revenues from
sales of electricity in the City is estimated to be approximately $1,000
per year On the basis of present sales. This payment will not decrease adj
vabrem and other taxes % paid the City by the Company and will not
be added as a charge to any customers bill.
8 The new Franchise does OF modify or diminish n regulatory rights
now held by the City as to operation or rates.
4 Mississippi Power Company is a basic Mississippi industry which less
than 25 years ago was a "new" Mississippi industry The City of Pasca-
goula and Mississippi have need for additional new industries and a vote
of confidence in a present industry which has rendered good service will
help show our attitude toward new industries generally.

Remember hearing your Dad or Grand-dad talk about the good old days" when the gang gathered around the cracker barrel at the corner store to discuss the news of the day? They certainly enjoyed themselves - didn't they? But the thought of that cracker barrel always makes me shudder for they were unsanitary days. Crackers, for example, were sold by the pound out of the barrel. The first few pounds were usually fresh, but the rest were stale and, certainly unsanitary! Nowadays, of course, the crispness and freshness of crackers is insured by waxed paper "a wrapper on the inside of the carton - and usually another on the outside. Tasty graham crack CTS, too, are protected the same way.
 And here's another suggestion = the next time your child wants q "between meal" snack = give him some graham crackers and milk. The crackers are light, and do not interfere with your child's regular eating schedule.
 If you find that your crackers become stale and soggy try this suggestion. Simply take out the quantity of crackers you need, then roll the waxed paper lining down firmly and close the carton Isn't that easy? It's really so obvious that we're apt to overlook it. But actually, it's only common sense Waxed paper = used as it was in- tended to be - is a modern miracle in food preservation and an excellent money saver. too!
