Keep Fit During
Summer Months
continued IrOm nrst page)

and should it last more than just
a few days, it is something which
warrants the attention of a physi-
clan. Such symptoms as chilli
ness, followed by fever, an aching
back, sore throat, or persistent
cough, pain, heaviness and tight
ness in the chest need profession
al attention at once.
In order to prevent a summer
cold, try to maintain a high level
of resistance says the State Board
of Health, by sleeping at least eight
hours a night; by wearing the
proper clothing for the weather; +;
by eating goodly amount of the
protective foods which are rich in
vitamins, such as milk, eggs, but
ter, fresh vegetables and fresh
fruits. If your vacation is going
to be spent in travelling, try to
choose clean public eating places,
be sure that the milk and water
are safe, and avaid crowds as
much as possible.
Vigorous sports are often part
of a vacation, which may be health
full if not overdone. There is, how
ever, a danger of becoming over
heated and cooling off too quickly
A cold shower is not the healthful
invigoratOr it is commonly be-
lieved to be if it is taken immed
lately following an active game o.
tennis or golf.
A vacation to many people
means a chance to relax and rest
but a rest in bed with a cold is no
much fun for a vacation. However
/ whether a summer cold chooses
vacation time or work time, tn
State Board of Health advises res
in bed, keeping warm and dry, an,
: drinking plenty of water and frui
| juices and milk. If the summe
cold does not clear up soon, healt
4 officials say, call a physician TO
it may not be "just cold"

HOUSE OF DAVID PLAYS
HERE TOMORROW NIGHT

If you are interested in seeing
an unusual game of baseball, good
advice would be to go to the Mil
ford ball park tomorrow evening
at eight o'clock and see the origi-
nal House of David play the Mil
ford Tigers All-Stars team, this
city's own snappy colored nine.
Admission to the game will be 85c,
plus tax, and reserved seats are
now on sale at Edwards dry-clean-
ers for $3.50, plus 10c tax. Pro-
ceeds from the game will go to
charitable projects presently being
sponsored by the Milford Tigers.

NeU Draft LGJU
Affects Business
tcOntlnued trom ass pagsl


small and big business alike a
share in the contracts.
But this idea--that the govern
Iment in peacetime could compel
business to do this or that-dis-
turbed a lot of business men.
President Truman finally stepped
in and handed over the problem to
/ Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer. He
told Sawyer:
Get the steel industry 20 agree
4 voluntarily-to set aside or allO-
cate enough steel for everyone do
ing work for the armed forces.
Mr.. Truman said he wanted to
/ be sure small business had a fair
chance to compete with big busi-
ness in getting it's share of govern
ment work.
Big Stick
The Commerce Department now
has received estimates from the
armed forces on their steel re-
quirements during the next IL
months.
They'll need about 100000 tons
in that time, or only about two
per cent of all the steel produced
in this country.
So Commerce Department people
say they don't think those needs of
the armed forces will interfere
with steel turned out for civilian
use.
The Commerce Department will
call in the heads of all the steel
mills and ask them to agree, vol
: UNFAIRLY, to allocate steel for the
r armed forces.
| They're expected to do this. Il
anyone refused, the government
' could set up a priority-Or demand
: on the steel he makes to be sure
4 the armed forces got it.
: That's where the compulsiv
e power in the draft bill hangs like ;
y stick over the business mans head
i For, If he refused to honor
: priority order from the govern
1 ment, his plant could be seize
: and. as explained, he could b
jailed or fined.
! Freight Cars Needed
But this business of gettin
steel-makers to agree, vOluntaril!
= on ALLEGATIONS is pretty much wha
has been happening fO rmOnths.
D Last December Congress passe
a bill which did this:
Gave the government power I
ask the steelmakers to set aside
n Voluntarily certain amount {
! their steel for things badly neede
ar in this country.
e For example: Freight cars. b

p freight cars during the war, go
ernment experts figured that 1O

L So the steel industry heads vo
OF UNFAIRLY agreed to allocate 800
'ir 900 tons of steel a year to bui

If something like this hadI

Milford Vets Tied
With Milton Nine
Locals Hope TO Take over First
Place Next Sunday

The Milford Vets, v. F. W.-spon-
sored home talent" team, moved
into a tie with Milton A. A. for
first place in the Sussex County
League standings Sunday after
noon as the result of a 1876 win
over Ellendale A. A. at Ellendale,
while Milton was being upset by
third place Lewes A. A., at Mil
ton. AS the Chronicle was going
TO press Thursday, preparations
were being made for the playing of
a Sussex League game here under
the lights that evening against Eli
lendale; a win for the Vets Thurs
day evening would put the local
club in undisputed possession OF
first place with 1e and 2 record
as compared with a 9 and Milton
record. The Vets can enhance
their chances of finishing the sea-
son atop the Sussex League stand
ings by defeating Milton when
these two top clubs clash in a re-
peat performance at Milton this
coming Sunday afternoon.
The Vets "icedD Sundays till
with Ellendale in the first two inn
ings. Milford scoring four times
in the initial frame and five times
in the second inning. Ellendal'
threatened in the eighth with
rally that fell four runs short o
tying the score.
Horace Wiley, veteran right
handler, again went the route TO
the Vets to rack up his fifth vii
of the season. Wiley was touches
for ten hits but was in trouble Onl
in the eighth when Glendale scor
ed four of its six tallies. Emerson
Meredith and Roy Mccullough pac
ed the Milford attack with thre
hits each, and Lloyd Elton. Henr
Holland, Dick KINNEY, Herscht
Poore and Les Wheelock contribul
ed two hits each to the Vets tott
of eighteen safeties.

The Pascagoula baseball team
administered a thorough white

on Sunday at the ingalls, Ball

to Biloxi's none.
Up until Sunday P~ascagoula
and Biloxi had been in a tie for

on Sunday dropped Biloxi to
fourth place and Picayune now
ties Pascagoula for second place
with the standing of both teams
3 wins. and / loss.
Jimmy Sherrard turned in the
hurting masterpiece of the day,
with only one hit allowed to the
Biloxians and ten batsmen struck
out.
The only safety that the Wis
itors got was a single in the 4th
by Oswald Chatham, Sr.

Roberts two-bagger and 3 runs
batted in led the hit parade for

jackson county passed another milestone
along the road to its future development and
expansion with the announcement this week
that the United States Engineers will open
bids for the dredging of the P~ascagoula river
and ship channel on August oath at Mobile.
The letting of the bids, and the consequent
completion of the work, will give Pasca-
goula the groundwork to develop into one
Of the most modern ports along the Gulf
Coast. Another important factor in the pro-
ject is the retaining of the marsh lands on
the west bank of the river, which will give
the county and P~ascagoula some of the finest
industrial sites available. Already some in
dustries are interested in locating on the
land, and prospects for its future develop
ment as an industrial area are bright.
In choosing this course of progress the
county and the city are following the line
of development that is best suited to this
area. This future lies in the proper develop
ment of its natural advantages which, in
this instance, is composed of its waterways,
its nearness to deep Gulf water and its po-
tentialities as a port. When a community
or city or a county strives to develop along
lines not suited to its natural advantages,
then that progress is hating and insecure and
likely to be wiped out overnight by chang
ing economic conditions.
