Discussed AS

sored youth camp for Paseagoula.

the Old Spanish Fort grounds on
Krebs Lake, we're outlined at a
meeting of the Paseagoula XII

adversely effected by the unrest
exhibited by the adults.

h%ealthful recreation and a ten
unit camp with facilities to &C
commodate 100 youngsters is pro.
posed. Several sessions could be
conducted during a single sum
mer season, it was pointed out
Financing Is not the primary
obsticle to the movement, it was
said, but it is necessary for all
organizations to show a genuine
interest and willingness to de
vote time to the planning and OPP
Grafton of the project, on a com
munity basis.
The site was secured through
the American Legion, trustees of
the Old Spanish Fort for the
owners, Jackson County. The
historic building would not be
disturbed, under the plan. but
the units built on the property
surrounding it.

a forenoon burst of strength in to-
days market. while many indus
trials were handicapped by profit
cashing on the recent climb to the
highest levels since last September.
Carriers were out in front at the

fourth hour but advances of frac-

most cases.
Buyers apparently still were
spurred by earnings, dividends and
the brighter labor relations picture
Numerous customers, however, stood
aside on the idea that business pros

that the market upswing of the past

ton.
