Lures Many Hunters.

One of the biggest hunts on record
took place last winter near Bladen,
Neb., when nearly 1000 farmers,
ranchers and sportsmen secured the
coyotes from a IA square mile
area.
After weeks Of planning for the
hunt, the male populations of sew
eral small towns and hundreds of
farmsteads were transported in
stock trucks to strategic positions
around the hunt area. At zero hour
lines of men moved in toward a pre-
determined central location, driving
the coyotes ahead.
Exacting discipline on 1000 hunt
ers scattered over a 48-mile circle
was maintained by the use of six
airplanes. Small, privately owned
planes circled the hunt area, fol-
lowing the advance of the lines.
Where group Jagged behind sched-
ule the planes flew in front of the
men as a signal to speed up the
cadence. Another plane signal was
devised for lines getting too far
ahead.
Shotguns could be heard pop
ping off along the lines when
ever coyote flushed from cover
or jackrabbit skipped out Of a
weed patch. But when the lines
reached the coyote kill area.

One industry is already waiting to start
construction on the reclaimed land on the
West bank of the river, as soon as it is in
such condition to allow the beginning of the
work. Others have signified their interest in

self in years rather than in weeks or months,
but 1t will come to full fruit as surely as
night follows day. And as it comes it will
be felt throughout the entire economy of the
county and this section.
The present shipping program covered by
the lease of this week with Lacoste, Inc, is
an example. Oak ties are to be purchased
and the concern hopes to build up its ex-
ports to four million ties annually and pos
sibly will, if sufficient production can be
found.
This means increased logging and sawmill
activity in the county. 1t means additional
employment. 1t means use of trucks and adj
ditional rail traffic as we'll as water traffic.
1t means that a good many citizens through
out the county will benefit directly from port
activity at Pascagoula.
AS we previously said, it's like getting our
foot in the crack of the door. Continued COM
munity cooperation, intelligent planning
and thought and, above all, a determination
to drive our program through to completion
can throw that door wide open.

Where's Our Support?

Almost every night a group of men and
womei1 gather for a couple of hours, or more,
of hard work to shape up a play currently
m rehearsal for the entertainment of those
in this section who enjoy amateur theatre
Gals. But right now it is p~roblematical
whether they will perform to an audience
of sufficient proportions to make their work
worthwhile or just a s~prinkling of folks in
an empty-chair filled auditorium.
In other words, membership dues in the
Paspoint Little Theater are discouragingly
slow in coming in and if folks want a little
theater they'd better hurry and put the props
of a little financing under it before it folds
up completely.
Things are looking bad this year for En-
tertainment, Inc, an organization which
brings in outside talent, and if our little
theater group should nave to disband for
lack of support it would be a real blow to
the many in Pascagoula and Moss Point who
enjoy a few evenings of real entertainment

Our Foot In The Door!

The first fruits of the drive for a deep
water ship channel at Pascagoula were real
lied this week, we believe, in the signing
of a contract under the terms of which the
export of railroad ties to Belgium will be-
gin here sometime mex month.
It's like getting our foot in the crack of
the door.
The export-import program planned under
the lease will develop and expand, we be-
lieve, with the completion of the dredging
program nex spring, and the eventual de-
velopment of additional port facilities. How
ever, the present program will not wait on
that, but will start with our present depth
of channel and facilities, which means that
Jackson countians will not have to wait
seven months or a year to see a steamer nose
up to the city dock in preparation to take
on export cargo.
As we have said many times before, we
believe that this sections destiny is tied to
its river and its Gulf waters, and the natural
advantages that they give us for develop
ment.
This development will not only come in
the building up of port m Develop
ment of port commerce will go hand in hand
with industrial development in this area, for
one is as essential to the other as the fingers
are to the hand.

Rev. Chappell
Speaks 0fAfrica
To Rotary Club

The problems and progress of
Africa and its people was the
subject of a talk by the Rev. c.
w. Chappell, who for IL years
has served as a Methodist mis-
sionsry in the Belgium Congo,
at the annual luncheon session
of the Pascagoula Rotary club
Wednesday noon at the Country
club.
The average American draws
his conception of Africa from
distorted pictures and stories,
and does not realize the progress
the continent and its people are
making, the Rev. Chappell said.
Africa will assume a greater and
greater role in world affairs as
this progress continues, he added.
Instead of being covered with
dense jungle, as most people
imagine, the larger portion is
plainland and the continent is
noted for its natural resources,
which r virtually untapped.
However, he added, the great
| est possession of Africa is the
African himself, and the great
ability that he is showing in TAX
ing over leadership.
The history of relations be-
tween Africa and the West has
not all been a credit to the West,
the Rev. Chappell continued.
There were slavery, social diseases
and tuberculosis, which today
constitutes the greatest menace
to the health of the individual,
all brought by the white man.
Nations Not Children
The missions have, and are,
teaching the Africans the value
of the individual, which is bring
ing them new hope and new
spirit, and a desire on the part
of the masses for the upward
trend.
In closing the Rev. Chappell
said that there was a time when
nations were kept in a state of
childhood, but that stage is pass
ing as has been witnessed in
Burma, India and other nations
of the world.
If we would help in this trans
ition of nations from a childhood
status of dependency to freedom
we can, by making our own
Democracy work for all our peo-
pie, open to us the doors of the
backward peoples of the world
as they would be opened to wise
parents. This will be measured
in the effect of our own Democ-
racy as applied in our daily liv-
ing and the degree to which we
make it work.
The Rev. Chappell was intro
duced by ]. P. Frazier, who had
charge of the program.
Visiting Rotarians and guests
included Jesse Thompson
Charles Hightower, Rev. N. U.
Boone, N. c. Everett, A. ]. Frank
lin, and DR.. J. F. Colley of the
Moss Point club; Frank Kramer
of the Ocean Springs club; Emil
Peterson and E. G.. Harpole of
New York; A. v. Smith, Jr., and
