What's Your Name, Bub? Read This
Story And Maybe You'll Get A Laugh

New phone books are always
greeted with exuberanee,
possibly because ii gives folks
a chance to pour over the NAM
ss.
And in addition to usual
eognomens it is surprising
what a story could be built
around the names found in the
July telephone directory, just
off the press.
In the first place Moss Point
can boast of having Rivers but
Pasoagoula has Seays, Pooles
and Ponds but no Lakes.
However,, both cities have
Myles and Akers of Lofts, AL
leys and Lanes. And while there
is no mention of Houses There
are Pyles and Stacks Of Stone
and Wood with which to build
Holmes and there are Stout
Masons and Carpenters with
Strength to erect the Walls,
and build the Roof, complete
with Gables and Eaves, and to
put in a big Garrett.
There are Gulleys TO carry
off the Waters and there are
Paynes for the Windows and
Lockes for the doors and plen-
ty of Halls,
AS for the colors to select
before the arrival of Kruse of
Painters loaded with brushes
one could choose Redd, Green,
Gray or Brown or merely use
White, with Black for the
screens in order to prevent
Rust.
And even if they do not have
a kitchen there will be a Buff
fet for the dining room and
a Butler to supervise the
Cooks. A Carver will slice the
Lamb, Kidd, or Hare sprinkled
with Parsley, and there will be
Coffey to serve following the
dessert of Berrys.
And the table should be de-
corated with Flowers, espec-
tally a Rose which the Gardner
has grown.
There should be Cakes,
Chestnut and Laurel trees for
the yard and perhaps a Haw-
throne bush for the Byrds to
nest in.

as new members of the Moss

were instructed in the duties OF
Rotarians by Claude A. Blan-

club.

Edward A. Khayat, was intro

Khavat spoke on the proposed
Pat Harrison Waterway, details
of which have been carried in
this newspaper previously.
He stated, however, that speak

81 counties in South Mississippi
to boost the project and said that
favorable public opinion would
be a major factor in its develop

cagoula River and its tributar-

in a letter to congress in 1928,
the speaker said, and was re-
vived in 1909. The late Pat Har-
rison, one of the outstanding
statesmen ever produced in Mis-
sissippi, fought for it as a con-
gresham.
The project was denied at that
time but the discovery of oil in
South Mississippi makes it feas-
ible at this time, he said.
MI. Blanchard told the baby
Rotarians that they would be ex-
pected to take an active interest
in the club and stressed that they
should live up to the Rotary mot.

BY EDWARD S. T
ZAP NeWsfeaturesl

Winnetka, ill.-John N. OFT, Jr.
81, has developed his one-man
movie company to a point where
he is ready to retire from his
bank job and devote full time to
a project that started as a hobby.
He is producer, cameraman,
technician, botanist, and lecturer.
Specializing in tim e-lapse
movie making, OFT has created a
film that shows flowers in the
process of growing and blooming,
and reveals the effect of weed
killers and fertilizers on plants.
Otis movie, Flowers in Ac-
tion," has been shown to 81 au-
diences from coast to coast this
year. He has lecture engagements
arranged for more than a year in
advance.
IN 20 years of experimenting,
OFT has devised an elaborate cleo
trical and mechanical means for
making his cameras move and
operate.
With a clocking device, OFT
takes Is nm motion pictures of
growing plants which may give
a new insight into the workings
of nature.
The came ; are set to operate
automatically for weeks but
when the lapse of time between
shots is eliminated in the movie
strip the plants growth is re-
duced to a matter of minutes.
One sequence required five
years to make, but the scene only
lasts two minutes on the screen.
1t shows primroses in a ballet
number.
To accomplish this, he con-
structed special flower pots that
would move around on wheels.
In each plot was placed a small
electric heating element and a
water tube.
The flower pots wer pulled
around on a track, and the heat
ing elements turned on alternate
~ to make the leaves wilt, and
water turned on to make them
revive. A battery of lights was
placed first on one side then on
the other to make the flowers
move from side to side.
The time-lapse color film was
synchronized to the rhythm of a
Strauss waltz.
OFT feels that his method of
making moving pictures opens up
a new vista in rejiearch ry1a only in
botany, but in biology, medicine
and other fields where the effects
of treatments can be studied over
a period of time. He is planning
to apply time-lapse photography
in conjunction with the micro
scope in order to study the flow
of moisture in plant stems ano
leaves.

Miss Van OsdoI
rs Honored By
f. Baptist Church

On Tuesday evening members
of the First Baptist church kept
open house honoring Miss Zelma
Van Osdol whose marriage to the
Reverend James A. Foster Of
Jackson, Miss, is to take place
July %.
The reception was also to hon
or Miss Van Osdol who has been
studying for missionary work in
the Baptist church In the Orient,
and who has recently been COM.
missioned for work in China fol-
lowing her graduation from a
school in Richmond, Va, and who
will be joined in this by Mr.. Fos-
ter, who has just been ordained
into the church ministry.
The substory of the church was
thrown open for the reception
and it was beautifully decorated
with flowers which ornamented
the various rooms and gave beau
ty to the deliberately appointed ia
bic from which punch and cake
were served.
The fore part of the evening
was given to a short program
which was opened by DR.. L. E.
Green, pastor of the church, who
extended welcome and then gave
a short talk about Miss Van Os-
dol and the pride that the church
is taking in having her go forth
from it as a missionary.
This was followed by the song,
"Ill Go Where You Want Me To
Co. which was beautifully sung
by e. R. Hare, music director at
the church, who later sang "Ill
Be Loving You Always" in trib-
ute to the coming nuptials Of
the honoree.
Following this, Mrs. Charles H.
Gray presented Miss Van Osdol
with a check for 500 from the
Woman's Missionary Society of
the church, who stated that ii
was to be used as Miss Van Os-
dol saw fit.
An original poem by Mrs. P. J..
Higginbotham whose subject was
Miss Van Osdol, was cleverly read
by Mrs. John H. Cole, following
which, a skit was amusingly Civ
en- by a group of children of the
church, Eugene Surall, Nora Jean
Hatten, Helen Green, Mike Fle-
chas, III, Jay Higginbotham and
Daniel Smith.
The program was closed by
Miss Van Osdol, in Chinese cos
tune, told something OF. her work
and then voiced her appreciation
of the love and the many beauti-
full things that had been showered
upon her by the church and its
members.
DR.. Green then invited the as
semblage to inspect the gifts that
had been given Miss Van Osdol
by the church and its members
and other friends.
These were found to con-
sist of everything that she and
Mr.. Foster will need for house
keeping and for their new work.
1t included everything from a

costume assisted Mrs. Excel

who presided over the punch
bowl, in serving the drink with
cake.
There was a large number out
to honor Miss Van Osdol.

From The State
Health Officer

The phrase Keep your shirt on"
may sound bit undignified, but the
advice it contains is good. 1t is one
way of saying you will accomplish
more by staying calm and COM
posed. Any kind of emotion is apt
to interfere with clear thinking; in
particular, irritation, anger, resent
ment and other such feelings not
only slow down working capacity,
they may make person physically
ill:
We're learning more and more
about the part emotions play in
illness. In recent years, many doc
tors have found that mental or
emotional strain can bring on at
tacks of asthma, a battling ailment
for which no one cause or cure is
known. 1t seems likely that asthma
has no single cause, but that the
ground or it may be prepared in
number of ways-by heredity, by
susceptibility to allergies or by a
preceding bronchial cold, to name
the conditions most often held res
ponsible for the disease. All of
these factors need to be taken into

erage, for something hot is cheer

tive tract. Whole grain and en-
riched bread with butter or forti-
fled margarine will provide added
values in vitamins and minerals.
Milk will furnish some of the cal
cium needed for good bones and
teeth. Eggs and lean meat pro-
vide high grade proteins for body
building and repair. An adequate

body's need for a fresh supply of
energy and nutrients to carry a
person through the. active hours
of the forenoon.
Lack of proper food causes fati-
que, and fatigue lessons efficiency"
said Miss Pearson. "A textile mill
in this section noted that a large
number accidents occurred about
10 o'clock in the morning, also that
most of the victims were employees
who lived some distance from the
mill. In order to get to work on
time these employees had to get up
early and many of them skipped
breakfast After the mill began
serving breakfast in its cafeteria,
it was found that forenoon accidents
were almost eliminated. 1t was al
SO found that workers who skip
breakfast get less done in the first

account.
Of course, nothing can be done
about heredity. A great deal is be-
ing done to treat allergies, and
through scientific tests much pro-
gress has been made. When it
comes to the group of causes that
stem from nose and throat infec-
tions, the individual can take all
possible precautions to guard again
st such conditions and can keep his
body resistance built up to a high
degree. In the sphere of the emot-
ions, in the ways he meets his
daily life, and in his attitdues to-
wards all those with whom he as
sociates, the individual would do
well to take stock of himself. Many
prejudices and dislikes that are ac-
lively disturbing are unfounded;
many states of excitment are un-
necessary. Honest, thoughtful ana
lysis would often eliminate some
of these. Inelegant as it may sound,

lent slogan for living.
