WeQthermdn to Help
Fishermen With
Barometer Forecasts

For the second summer the "
S. weather bureau will offlclaily
perform an experiment in the Flat
head with the cooperation of ans-
lers to see if fly fishing IS ac@-
ually better when the barometer
is rising.
Forecasts for fishermen OF
what the barometer will do are
being broadcast over Kallspeli
radio station, KGEz, and printed
in the Daily Inter Lake.
Observer E. S. Mark at hal-
ispell comments that many eA,
perienced fishermen have coin.
to believe that fly fishing Is oeS'
when the barometer is rising aii'
noorest when barometer IS ta'l'
ing. It has to do with the air SAY
in fish that function much do ~

ring times of rising baroiaetei'
fish, some experts say, tena l'
come nearer the waters surle'oo
and when the pressure is falllhs
they head toward the bottom awa !,

Talk On Schools,
Musical Program
Heard AT Rotary

A talk on the outlook for Pas
cagoula schools by Thomas r.
Wells and musical and vocal Sc
lections by students of Mrs. p.
j. Higginbotham marked the
weekly luncheon meeting Of the
Pascagoula Rotary Club Wednes-
day noon at the country club.
Mrs. Higginbotham introduced
three of her students, two of
whom played two saxophone
duets. They were Cora Nell
Krebs and Beverly Mallon, while
Marlowe Miller sang two vocal
numbers. Mrs. Higginbotham
furnished the piano accompain-
ment in both instances.
MI. Wells told members and
guests that the federal govern
ment has furnished 35 to so per
cent of the Pascagoula school
budget for the past six years,
and that more than SO per cent of
students in Pascagoula schools
reside in homes owned and built
by the federal government in
Pascagoula.
He pointed. out that this fed
eral housing is not carried on the
tax rolls of the school district,
but that the district is paid in
lieu taxes by the federal govern
ment based on an assessed valu-
alton of $500, 900.
Assessment Low
Total property valuation in the
district, he said, is 81, 500, 900,
with the average Mississippi city
having the same enrolment as
the Pascagoula schools drawing
taxes from an assessment of APP
proximately 100000 600.
The government pays lieu tax
es on some federally owned hous-
ing here on a valuation of as
low as $3.50, he added. Statistics
prove that in order to have an
adequate sschool system each
student requires taxes drawn
from IN assessment of $500 to
$4,000.
The Pascagoula school system
is also operating on a compare
lively low budget, Mr.. Wells adj
ded. The Pascagoula budget for
this year is $296, 900, while at
Laurel the budget is in excess
of $400, 900, and on a comparable
basis in other cities of the state.
Mr.. Wells also pointed out
that the Junior High, South Ele-
mentary, Beach and Lake schools
were all built, and are owned
by the federal government. These
schools would cost approximately
100000 to replace at today's
values. he said, and the district
must plan for their purchase
from the government when they
are disposed of.
Citizens generally should in
terest themselves in the situa-
ton faced by the school system
in order that a solution can be
arrived at, Mr.. Wells said.
