Garbage Disposal

been adopted since then by many commu-
mites as a solution for the disposal prob
lem.
A trench is dug, filled with garbage and
trash, and then covered with dirt from the
digging Of a second ditch. Under this method
trash and garbage are covered with a heavy
layer of dirt under which it decomposes with
out becoming a haven for flies and rats.
The county recently purchased a dragline,
which is used for this type of disposal work.
Beat Three Supervisor Joe V. Krebs tells
us that it is available to the city to dig the
initial ditch and will then return at such
periods as needed to carry on the work. A
day every week or so should suffice, and no
inconvenience and little expense will be in
volved.
In order to get the work started, it is neces-
sary for the city to furnish a tract of land.
That, also, should be reasonably simple and
inexpensive, and is certainly a service that
is owed the citizens of the community.
We see little use in typhus control work,
spray programs and sanitary garbage col
lection vehicles unless we also establish a
system of disposal that eliminates both the
danger and nuisance of the present system.

dairy intrests to the point that
a housewife now pays in taxes
approximately half the cost of
each pound she buys off her
grocer's shelf. Butter, of course,
carries none of these taxes.
Threats of retaliatory legisla-
ton, and demands that cleo be
packed in triangular or round
packages to distinguish it from
butter were among demands
made by the dairy interests.
One amendment would have
eliminated the taxes but also
prohibited the coloring of oleo
yellow Ito resemble butter
This particular dairy represen-
tative said nothing, of course,
concerning the fact that butter
itself is artifically dyed yell
low during a good part of the
year. Protection of vested in
terests through discriminatory
taxes of this nature is wrong,
and an added burden which
the average American has to
bear. We also venture to say
that if this bill passes the Sen
ate and becomes law, we will
see a sudden and substantial
decrease in the price of butter.

BRITISH TO KEEP REPLICA
OF WRIGHT PLANE.

London ZAP The British
will place a replica of the his
toric Wright brothers biplane
"Kittyhawk" in their science mu-
scum WHEN the original goes
home. The replica is being built
by students at the Dehavilland
technical school.
Under the will of Orville
Wright the "Kittyhawk," which
made the first powered flight
with a man aboard in 1908, soon
will be returned to the United
States.
He sent the craft to England
after a long dispute with the
Smithsonian institution in Wash
ington, DC. The Smithsonian
had credited the Langley aero
drome' which was wrecked in
a launching a few days before
the Wrsghts flew their plane. with
being the first capable of powered
flight with z pilot.

Roaming Cattle

Continued cutting of the wire fence around
the county airport in order to allow cattle
to Craze on the airport grounds is reported
and, to our mind, constitutes a dangerous
and wilful offense that merits punishment
to the full extent of the law.
Pascagoula gardens and yards have long
been the victim of free roaming cattle that
in addition to being responsible for consider
able property damage, are a menace and a
nuisance. The county and city governments
are in process of virtually ringing the city
with fences in order to keep the cattle out
but, If a person will go to the length of cut

port, then a fence designed to keep the cat

Rotary Kiwonis
Hear Students
Discuss Divorce

The nine major causes for di-
vorce were set forth by a group
of Pascagoula high school socl-
ology students in a round table
discussion on THE Status of the
American Family Today" at the
Kiwanis and Rotary clubs meet
ings in Pascagoula this week.
The program was a part of Youth
Week observance.
The students were presented
by Program Chairman Virgil
Gill, principal of the school, and
were Buddy Ehrlich, who acted
as chairman of the group, Wal
lace Whatley, Carrie Lou White,
Laurie Palmer, Teresa Guillotte,
Paul Ryan and Elaine Avara.
Methods of teaching children
discipline, including punishment
and child psychology, was also
a main point in the forum.
The causes for divorce were
given as religious differences, diff
ferent cultural backgrounds, lack
of security, wife working, cur
rent change of attitude toward
divorce, nasty and war marriages,
marrying to reform the mate,
age differences anG lack of sex
education. Lack of security and
sex education were decided to
be leading causes. The entire
group advocated sex education
in the schools with opinion of the
time for starting varying from
the first grade to high school.
There is no such course being
taught in Pascagoula schools now,
the young people said.
In discussing the changing at
titude toward divorce, the stud
ents pointed out that divorces
are no longer looked down on
and can be obtained easily.
All of the students presented
are pupils of Thomas R. MeCann,
sociology teacher at the school.
In introducing them, Nh. Gill
pointed out that they were ex-
pressing their own personal
thoughts and opinions on the
subject.

With the hot summer weather, and the re-
sultant influx of flies, just a few weeks away
we would like once more to indulge in a plea
that we have been making periodically for
several years.
1t is for a sanitary garbage disposal system
for Pascagoula.
We place our garbage and trash in a rot
ting pile virtually on our back door step
where it becomes a fertile breeding ground
for countless millions of flies, and thousands
Of rats, both disease bearing and is a constant
menace to the health of the community.
We continue to do this while the county
health department wages a countrywide
typhus control program and is now in pro-
cess of staging a spraying campaign to elm
mate flies and other insects. Typhus, of
course, is spread by fleas from the disease
infected rats and the fly is suspected of be-
ing a spreader of the infantile paralysis
germ.
There are several tracts of marshy land
on the outskirts of Pascagoula which could
be utilized in establishing the continuous
fill system of garbage disposal. This method
was proven effective and sanitary at thous-
ands of army camps during the war, and has

tie out of the city limits is certainly going
to be of little use and will be destroyed in
short order.
The present city ordinance limits the fee
that can be collected for impounding these
roaming cattle found in the city limits to
$50, plus SOC a day for each day they are
held. Expenses involved in catching and
impounding the cattle run far in excess of
this figure. If the city ordinance was amend
ed to where a fine of $40 or more could be
collected, the ordinance enforced, roaming
cattle promptly i%mpounded and the full fee
collected we believe that the cattle would,
to som extent at least, be kept up. The only
cure is to hit those persons responsible
where it hurts in the pocketbook.

Telling Me!
By WILLIAM RIFT
Central Press Writer

Zadok Dumkopf reports his
cousin-in-law, Seidel J. Stein,
has taken the week off to cele-
brate a great anniversary.
Beer came back to a parched
United States Is years ago this
moth.
Seidel, who is quite a beerol-
ogist and has made a deep
study of the bubbling brew.
says that beer, next to water,
is the worlds oldest drinking
fluid.
The Egyptians were great
beer brewers - and drinkers.
There's nothing a Pharoah en-
JOYS more than to sit of an ev-
ening with his foaming mug
and the blueprint plans for his
next pyramid.
The Greeks were suds wor-
shippers, too. The philosopher
Diogenes made his home in an
empty beer barrel. A fragrant
idea.
When the ancient Romans
invaded Britain they brought
their beer along To celebrate
their victory, naturally.
.
Great writer's such as Hero
dotuS, TacituS, Pliny and Keno
phone have paid tribute to
beer in words of machless prose
but to Seidel j. Stein the most
beautiful line is one on the
sign of his favorite pub: Book
