localized famine areas In others,
the general expectation is for q
rice and grain harvest at least
equal to or larger than last years
average crop.
Reports from szechwa n

China's breadbasket, say spring
crops were ''exceptiinaly excel

Coast Cities Must
Work AS Unit,
Kiwanis Is Told

Towns and cities along the Mis-
sissippi must consider themselves
as one unit and work for the
common good of all, Mayor G.. B.
Cousins of Biloxi It'd the Pasca-
goula Kiwanis Club at their
weekly meeting Tuesday.
In a hard-hitting and blunt adj
dress, Mayor Cousins lauded the
inauguration of the Mississippi
Sales Tax as a manner of fair
indirect taxation but called for a
return of a portion of that tax
to the individual municipalities.
"The salvation of the financial
structure of all municipalities de-
Ponds upon this move" he de-
clared.
Mayor Cousins stated that a
single-industry town creates an
unhealthy condition and declared
that all Mississippi coast towns
still fit into that bracket. He re-
viewed the first war boom in this
area, and subsequent recession,
and declared that we would face
the same thing again and unless
a concerted effort is extended to
move forward. A person stand
ing does nothing but sink into
the mud, he declared.
The speaker was introduced by

sided over by DR.. Thomas E

District Kiwanis Governor Joe
Dehmer of Jackson and Lieuten-
ant Governor John Nosser of

Governor Dehmef lauded the
Pascagoula club for having spon-
sored the newly formed Biloxi
Kiwanis Club. the Charter night
of which was held Monday night
there. In a short address, he told
the Paseagoula club that they
would look back in future years
with much pride and satifaction
upon the work they had done in
forming the new club.
