A committee composed of
the river-wise of both commun-
tiles elaborated in the pro-
duction of a much needed fish
ing map.
The Chamber recently pro-
vided transportation for SIS
Moss Point and more than 140
Pascagoula youngsters to BIZ
loxi for Air Force Day.
Constantly the Chamber tries
to assist organizations in avoid
ing conflicts of dates.
While the Robinson Lake
Cutoff is located in Moss Point
waters, Pascagoula participated
in the hearing before the En-
gineers to get the improvement
made. Both cities were repre-
sented in the hearings on men,
haden fishing conducted by the
Sea Food Commission at Biloxi
last summer.
Other common projects r
the current efforts to improve
the pecan market, urging en-
ployment of the physically
handicapped, the serious study
given a credit bureau, and the
suppression of rackets. Two So
licitations were controlled in a
single week last month that
easily saved the merchants of
the two towns $1,000.
All these activities are incl
dental to the organizations ma
jor detectives which are Port
and Industrial Development,
that will be taken up in later
articles.

must be discussed with labor
even though the boss doesn't
have to make concessions on
them.
Most recent decision was the
Supreme Courts ruling that
employers must bargain about
merit pay boosts if the union
requests it.
In addition, an appeal is now
pending before the high tribu-
nal of a circuit court decision
that pension and retirement
funds are proper subjects for
collective bargaining.
Before the war, only the ma
jor powers had ambassadors in
Washington. Others had min
listers. The difference is i'm
portant. An ambassador repre-
sents the chief of state and can
call on the president. A minis
ter only represents his govern
ment. He is entitled to see the
secretary of state.
In addition, ambassadors get
more money. Their salaries
range from $4,000 to SIS 1000
a year compared with $4,000
for ministers.
Since the war, the United
States has envoy representa-
ton in many small countries,
including all Latin-Ameriea
and Pakistan. Politically, it
adds to American prestige
abroad, but it has also raised
the protocol bill.
After all the argument and
surveys, it has developed that
plans and not atomic war plants
will be buried.
Blueprints for placing Amer
lean war industry underground
to forestall devastating results
in the event of atomic attack
have been scrapped.

Remarkably Beautiful Display Of
Rugs At Arts And Crafts Exhibit

An imposing display of hooked
rugs in various stages from the
finished one to those just start
ed were inspected by the more
than $50 persons, who were not
deferred by the rain from at
tending the exhibit of the rug
hooking class of the Arts a d
Crafts club Tuesday afternoon.
1t was held in the Community
Activities building on 18th street,
and was remarkable because of
the fine workmanship displayed
in every entry, each one of which
might have been credited to pro-
fessional craftswomen.
They ranged in size from a
6x9 foot rug, which was in pro-
cess of being made by Mrs. E. L.
Brantly, to tiny ones 18 by "a
inches, but each was as artistic
as a flower painting. Mrs. H. G.
Otis had On display a large rug
with which she captured honors
in an exhibit in Massachusetts.
Finished rugs were signed by
Catherine I. Hall, Annie Graham,
Mrs. S. B. McIlwain, Mrs. T. c..
Fullilove, Mrs. E. D. Wright, Mrs.
j. c. Memo, Mrs. Allen Stubble-
field, Elizabeth Latady, Mrs. A.
w. Pinkston, Emma Avis, Mrs.
Brantly, Mrs. John Collie, Mrs.
Walter Lewis, Mrs. C. T. Tor
jusen, and Mrs. Otis Of Pasca-
goula, Mrs. B. F. Sudduth past
president of the club but now of
Carthage also sent a rug that
she made while attending the
classes, and others were shown
by Mrs. Thelma Blackwell and
Miss Winnie Thompson of Mo-
bile also members of the class.
Miss May McInnis of Moss Point
was also an exhibitor.
Arriving guests were greeted
by Mrs. Brantley, president and
Mrs. McIlwain, past president of
the Arts and Crafts club, Mrs.
Ivan Murray, vice president and
Mrs. Fullilove, secretary. Mrs.
Rudolph Frellsen, the treasurer,
was unable to be with the group.
Mrs. E. D. Wright was in
charge of registration, Mrs. M.
Dean of scrap books illustrating
the technique of the work, while
Mrs. R. C. Pollitt presided over
books and phamphlets bearing on
the same subject. Mrs. N. c.
REVERE and Mrs. Murray were
in charge of the table showing
materials and explained the dy-
ing process. A number of the
members took turns in demon
strating the cutters.
Mrs. w. r. Pyles. chairman of
the entertainment committee was
assisted by other members in
serving punch and cookies.
The exhibit attracted a num-
Der of visitors from other cities,
two car loads having come from
Mobile. New Orleans, Gulfport
and Poplarville were also rep
resented by visitors.
The boys from the woodwork
ing department of the Pascagoula
high school, who made the
frames for the class, were inter
ested spectators as were several
men.

The Present And The Future

At q recent meeting of the Southern ASso-
citation of State Planning and Development
Agencies, states comprising the Southern
tier of our nation were warned not to hasti-
ly and wrongly assess the reasons for the
present industrial shift to our sector and, in
effect, advised to survey their own particu-
lar assets and seek industrial development
along those lines.
Our own state and its cities and commu-
mites might well heed this warning and
study its implications in the light of reason
and logic. There has been a tendency among
certain segments of industry seeking loca-
tons in Mississippi to exploit the states
BAWI act. Some communities, desperate for
industrial payrolls, let their e agerness
to secure these payrolls overbalance their
sense of judgment.
AS a result, we are afraid that many a
community in Mississippi is going to find
itself behind the economic eight ball at some
future date, and in pretty sever financial
straits once initiation levels off and we re-
turn to a buyers market instead of the in
~flationary sellers market we nave been rid
ing for many a year.
Some industries have located in Missis-
sippi for the sole and simple reason that the
community where they located furnished
them a free factory building, five year tax
exemption and a supply of intelligent raw
labor that could be worked at minimum pay
standards. Such industries do not, in any
sense, become a stable part of the states
economy and have no particular interest in
its long-range economi welfare. Their in
vestment, in most instances, is so small that
they can afford to pick up and leave on a
moments notice.
It Is our belief that when conditions level
off, production on a national scale in certain
lines reaches the point of saturation, and tax
exemptions reach the point of expiration,
some will do just that. The community will
then find itself with an unemployment prob
lem, an empty factory building and a bonded
debt.
We want industry in Mississippi want
1t badly. We need it to bring our economy
into balance. However, we don't believe
there is any necessity for us to figuratively
hand ourselves over on a silver platter. We
have as much to offer industry as industry
has to offer us. Our climate is mild and
temperate, we nave an abundance of raw
materials, we have an intelligent population
and it is a proven fact that our people readily
adjust themselves to industry and produce
fine mechanics; we have a consistently friend
ly government, both on the state and COM
munity levels. There is no need to supple
ment these with a pound of flesh. We should
use a hard headed approach to our industrial
development and in all instances get proper
tionate returns on what we have to offer.
In our own particular case Jackson county

Why have Americans been neg

travel asks Joe Austell Small. we'll

of river life is all vastly different
from the cut and dried automobile

lazy river road you'll want to use
it in the future in preference to
the crowded highways of concrete

There will be hardly any traffic,
and no speed laws; you can drive
on either side of the road. Hotel
accommodations are free. The scene.

In Memory Of A. J. Stevens
RESOLUTION

When, in the course of human
life, mans allotted span has been
spent in the service of humanity and
he leaves behind him memories of
life well spent, it is but natural
that those who have known him feel
a vacancy exists that can not easily
be filled: and
WHEREAS, On May 81, l948, our
friend and co-wTker, Mr.. A. j.
Stevens, ST.. departed this life and,
with his departure, left memory
with his family and with the people
he so long and faithfully served
that will not be forgotten for gene
rations to come. For many years
people in all walks of life sought his
advice - they opened their hearts
and minds to him, knowing that he
would sympathize with them in
their troubles and counsel with
them in their universities; and
WHEREAS. For many years Mr.
Stevens ran the Bank of West in
manner that commanded the adj
miration and commentator of bust
ness men, yet serving the personal
needs of the people of his COM
munity. When the expansion pro-
gram of the Holmes County Bank
and Trust Company was effected,
Mr.. Stevens became a vice-president
and manager Of the Branch Office
at West and member of the Board
Of Directors of the institution. AS
our associate in this work, his long
experience was an asset to us, his
knowledge of the banking business
and his ability to impart that know
ledge to us guided us over many
rough and troublesome problems,
and his interest in the welfare of
people, and their honesty, enabled
us to be an institution of service to
the communities in which we ope-
rate. We shall miss his associations.
his mildness of manner, his good
natured disposition, his calm and
sober judgment, and his sound and
unwavering advice.
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED.
That we, the Board of Directors of
the Holmes County Bank and Trust
Company, do hereby extend our
sympathies to the family of our fri
end and co-worker.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
That as an expression of our loss in
his passing, we spread this resolu-
ton upon the Minutes of our Board
and direct that copy be sent to
the bereaved family, and copy be
sent for publication to each of the
county papers.
Adopted this the 31st day of May,
