Some of us have been wondering
when The Voice will be returned to
its original size, we miss all the good
letters our readers used to write.
Although we may not agree with
all of them, their views are very in
teresting and just show what people
are thinking.
1948 is campaign and election year
and no doubt some of our good readers
wish to express their views. All the
progressives, liberals thinking farmers
and workers should get behind the
Wallace for president campaign lets
put him over if we can Your coop
eratively, J. A. GALLAGHER.

GaIIagher's query as to size of The

newsprint and help are again avail
able, we plan increasing the size
once again to what it was before

TOWARD FASCISM

The Peoples Voice.
Dear Sir:-After thorough discus
sion of the Universal Military Train
ing bill, the members of Farmers I'm
ion Local No. 123 went on record as
unalterably opposed to such bill
We believe that it is undemocratic
and un-American. You will remember
that large majority of the people
who came to this country from other
countries, came to escape such domi-
nation by professional militarists.
Moreover a trained citizen army will
be of little use in an atomic or bac-
THEOLOGICAL war
UNIT would tend to suppress crea-
tive thinking. 1t would be tool to
shape the minds of our young men in
militaristic way. We believe if it
were passed this nation would have
taken long step toward military
fascism.
We also believe that the huge year
ly expenditures required to finance
a UNIT program would have a further
inflationary effect on our already in
f1ation weakened economy. This
money could be used to much better
advantage for the nation if it were
spent for education for citizenship,
or for national health program or
even to reduce the national debt

SO good / want to send it to some

Your editorial is fine, more power to
you Cap. Lay it on the line we are
not going to save ourselves now by
soft-soaping any body.
1t may be too late, but let us stand

Discusses Farm To Market
Roads

January 10, 1948
Peoples Voice:-Am sending check
for IS for two years subscriptions, got
to have that little big paper
I want to comment on the letter
of Hard Rock Coolidge whichs. ap-
peared a while ago, about farm to
market roads.
1t is quite clear to me that as our
road program, both state and federal
stands now and | see no change for
the future we are not going to get a
mile of good road in my remaining
life time.
1t looks to me that we farmers will
have to pay for any good roads that
we will get in one way or another.
Perhaps one way would be to use the
customary gas refund for this pur-
pose but of course if this were done,
then the man not using gas in his
tractor would also have to pay the
tax
l believe that farmers had better
think this one out in the next year.
When we drive over these rough and
muddy roads we pay the tax any way
in repair costs on our cars and trucks
So what is your solution.-Sincere
ly, JULIUS CESS, Wolf Point

During my administration as mayor. the following are
some of the accomplishment of which I am justly
proud:
City Of Pose

You needed streets and had very little money to
pay for this great Improvement. Special legislation
to finance and help from the U. S. Works Progress
Administration, enabled your management to Hard
Surface and Improve all or sections of the following
streets:
Lake Avenue from Pascagoula to Spring, Spring to
Adams; Adams to Pine; Pine from Adams to North
Pascagoula; Porter Street, North Cedar and Morgan
Lane, Convent from Kerr to Frederic, Tucker,
School, jackson and Orange Streets, Park Drive,
CAVITY Street, Delmas Avenue, from Frederic to
River; Dupont Avenue from Pascagoula to Canty;
Jackson Avenue from Pascagoula to Market; Column
bus Drive from Pascagoula To Short Columbus;
Roosevelt from Lincoln to Columbus Drive; Wash
ington Avenue, Lafayette Street from Pascagoula
to Roosevelt; Grant Avenue, Bilbo; st. Peters; John
Street, Ford Avenue, Polk Street; Buena Vista,
Foster, River Front.
A new Water Supply was needed; new and larger
water mains, pumping equipment, elevated tank and
other equipment.
Total cost of this needed Improvement was S96,55624
Your management went after and received a 45%
grant from the Public Works Agency, giving you, as
taxpayers, a net saving OF $43, 450 81 ar well as good
wholesome water to drink and adequate fire pro-
lection.
All of this work was accomplished without any in
crease in Taxation.
Pascagoula and Pascagoulans have always had first
place in my heart- will continue to fight for Pasea-
