Lands Bill Assures Federal Aid For
PoscugouIn-Moss Point School System

Pascagoula and Moss Point
are assured of uncurtailed opera
tons for the 1948-49 session by
the passage of the Lands bill by
Congress in the early morning
hours of Sunday, a short time be-
fore adjournment.
The bill, which extends federal
aid similar to that received by
both Moss Point and Pascagoula
for the past several years, ar
ries an authorization for $6,000,-
900 in aid to school agencies in
communities where e%nrollments
have been swelled because of war
incurred conditions, or the post
war national defense program.
AS passed, the bill actually car
ried only a 100000 appropri-
alton, but the balance will be
available through a deficiency APP
preparation as the need arises.
Colmer Aids in Passage
Passage of the bill illuminated
a long and ~forceful fight on the
part of Congressman William M.
Colmer of Pascagoula to make the
federal aid available to the two
local school systems, as has also
been the case in past years. He
was assisted in securing favorable
action on the bill in the Senate
by the vigorous support of Sena-
tor John Stennis.
The measure making federal
aid available to the two local
school systems relieved a critical
situation in both ~Pascagoula and
Moss Point where school budgets
and operations faced curtailment
unless such aid was secured. Dur
ing the last school session Pas
cagoula received a total of $105,-
900 and Moss Point $4,000 in
federal aid to supplement school
budgets in the two communities.
Thomas r. Wells, superintend-
ent of Pascagoula schools, and
Luther w. Tanner, superintend-
ent of Moss Point schools, both
were in Washington several days
last week seeking favorable COM
mittee and congressional action
on the legislation.

Single Shot" No Good
One important thing for the
voter to remember is: YOU MUST
VOTE FOR TWO COUNcILMEN.
A vote for only one councilman
will be useless. You must vote
for two councilmen in order to
have your vote count. Remem-
Der, a Single shot" will not count.
Approximately 2.475 voters are
registered in Pascagoula's three
precincts. However, not more than
two-thirds of this number, and
probably less r expected to cast
a vote in the city election. Voting
will be in three precincts as fol-
lows: South Pascagoula, old Fire
mans Hall on Washington ave-
nue.; City Hall. Pascagoula city
hall on Delmas avenue; North
Pascagoula, Knights of Columbus
Hall on N. Magnolia street.
Eligible voters must show their
poll tax receipts in order to vote.
However, because of amended
voting laws, persons voting on
exemption certificates do not have
to show their certificates in order
to vote. Lists of persons holding
exemption certificates will be
compiled by the circuit clerk and
those voting will be checked
from these lists. A voter this year
can also signify his choice with
a check mark with indelible pen
Gil or ink. Heretofore, only bal
lots marked with a "X" have been
valid.
A sample ballot is carried in
another part of this issue of the
