Pre- School Clinic
Dates Scheduled
For Two Schools

The pre-school clinic for the
South Elementary school will be
held on Monday, March %. from
900 a. m. to 800 p. m, and for
the Vancieave school on Monday,
March 90, at 900 a. m.
The Health Department plans
to have their preschool examin-
ations during the spring months,
before the present school term is
over.
The purpose of this is to have
every child who will be entering
school next fall receive a physi-
cal examination and complete any
necessary immunizations. This
can be done either at the Health
department clinics or by the fam
lily physician. A dental hygienist
will be present to do all dental
examinations.
School life is one OF the most
arduous and difficult periods OF
a child's life and many times a
so-called dull" or backward
child in school is failing because
of some correctable physical de-
feet. This plan will give the fam
lily a chance to make the neces-
sary corrections during the sum-
mer months and save a loss OF
time during the school year.

Want Permanent Repairs
Following the discussion, it was
voted that the committee to be
named would request the highway
department to make permanent
repairs to the approaches through
some form of structure that would
be passable at all times of the
year. In connection with this, il
was pointed out that Highway 63
is one of the states major traffic
arteries, and will carry a much
heavier burden when the Way
nesboro-Lucedale link, now in
process of being hard surfaced,
is completed.
The Highway was repaired a
little more than a year ago by
the state highway department at
a cost of approximately $4,000.
At that time the roadbed was
raised approximately 10 inches.
However the repairs have prov
ed of little effect in times of high
water.
Attending the meeting Monday
night, in addition to YMBC men,
bers. were representatives of ex-
service mems organizations in
Mess Point and Pascagoula, men,

Ell at Ln6 Texas State University
TIGERS hand last season, racking
up a quick 81 points while the
Igers continuously failed to
reach the glory land.
Cottrell MCGOWAN Of the Tiger
squad and Ray Don Dillon of
the Panther eleven shared the
spotlight in the first, second, and
third quarters, as both defen-
sive lines made it constantly
necessary to kick.
For the Tigers it was Law
renee Halter, Bonnie White,
Joseph Humber, Frank Lockett,
and Lloyd Wells who kept a
tight insurance on the Panthers'
attempt to reach pay dirt. Ed
ward Dec, Donald Grace, Willie
Gipson, and Isiah Heard kept
constant vigilance in the Pan
Their line.
Despite the short efforts which
repeatedly totaled zero for both
offensive drives, Garrett, Henry,
Eaton, and V. Johnson kept Ii
ger hearts in threats, with Henry
snaggin, and Eaton running.
Wade Hampton, converted from
his slot at tackle, spearheaded
the Tiger offensive attack, TAX
ing handoffs from Alexander Holt
and working around through the
position which he once occupied
in the line.
MCGOWAN added to his kicking
laurels when he connected with
Edward Olden for a beautiful
gain ON the Panthers'> As in the
second quarter, but the drive was
begged down there. Prairie
View took over, and after a series
of punt exchanges, Anderson
gladdened Tiger hearts again
when he Intercepted one of
Henry's losses. Wells carried TO
the 80 and Prairie View was
penalized to the Is. Wells took
aain, and before the next play
could develop, the half time
blast sounded and the beautiful
drive was snuffed out.
The third quarter was du-
plication Of the first two, but
the fourth was a different story.
McGowen got a kick partially
blocked in his face on a fourth
down. Prairie View took over on
the Is. Eaton swept left end to
the 5, and Haywood plowed over
for the first touchdown of the
game. The extra point was miss
ed
A 15-yard penalty against t
Tigers, and Eaton came around
left again to the 5. This time it
was Landon who plowed over
and the score was 1910, Panth-
ers. Again Prairie View got a
break deep in Tiger territory, re-
covering a tumble on the 5, and
again Haywood carries over.
This time Cannon kicked the
extra point, and the Panthers
moved ahead 1870.
Y During the mixup of fumbles,
McGowen was injured, and minus
his educated toe, the Tigers at
tempted to run out of an end
zone hole. Brown took, but un7
able to get himself back to the
line of scrimmage, he was trap
ped in the end zone for safety
and two more points, before that
explosive fourth quarter finally
ended the Tigers swinging on
the short end of 21-0 tally.
