THE AMERICAN SMILE
Something has got to be done
about the American smile. It has
gone far enough. We hereby come
out for federal smile control. and
quick. Any party promising it gets
our support.
Desperadoes who kill unarmed
people in cold blood appear in the
newspapers smiling; kidnapers Of
little children grin at the reader
from ear to ear; young women ar
rested on one charge or another
pretty themselves up and register
happiness and delight from the po-
lice wagon.
The other day two bankers, a IA
Their and son, whose bank had been
ruined by the thefts of $62, 900 which
was used to bet on horse races, ap-
peared in the papers walking right
into the cameras with the smiles
you would have expected only on
men who had just made hole in
one or hit the jackpot in radio
contest
They were not sickly grins-
there was nothing of the forced
smile about 'em-they were the
Form No. 1 smile worn by
movie heroes, candidates for
public office, beauty contest
winners and winning baseball
pitchers!
The elder banker, u, had started
and built up a big bank. The son
with him was one of the top off,
GERS. Their bank was gone and
their private fortunes swept away,
they said. Another son was in the
hoosegow for looting the institu-
ton.
We have been trying to figure it
out. Obviously the old man and his
unscathed son wee deeply hurt and
very unhappy. No man can feel
like smiling in such situation. Yet
they grinned in technicoler. There
must be some explanation. Do the
photographers work spell? Are
they hypnotists?
Do their cries of "Come on,
now, a nice big smile-and walk
right into the camera!" mes
merize people? Or, as has been
suggested, do their lawyers
(who always manage to smile,
too) instruct clients to smile,
on the theory that anything re-
motley resembling a serious ex-
preston these cockeyed days
suggests completely or outright
guilt?
It seems to us that any lawyer
reasoning this way is strictly south
paw. On the other hand we would
think that they would instruct eli
ents in a firm voice, 'Lissen, what
ever you do for the photographers,
don't act as if you had just made
a double play at the Eks clam
bake!"
There was a time when Ameri-
cans could smile or not smile, all
depending on conditions.
But for the past few years the
smile has become epidemic,
compulsory and routine. You
can't tell by a mans newspaper
photo whether he has just been
taken by the bloodhounds for
sticking up train or solved
"Stop the music" riddle.

man! Put something in your plat
forms, will va?

Forest Ranger Ivy
Reports Violation
Of Timber Law

Ranger Frank W. Ivy reports
a violation in Jackson county of
the Timber Harvesting law with
the fine amounting to SIS.
The Forest Harvesting act pro-
vides that 4 pine seed trees 10
inches in diameter or larger or
100 saplings 4 inches in diameter
or larger be left on each acre of
pineland being cut over.
Ranger Ivy urges that all tim
Der owners, timber contractors,
and mill operators study this law
carefully and for further inter-
probation of it contact him.
He also reports that the mark
ing of timber on the Kurtz State
Forest in Greene county has been
completed and will be for sale in
the near future.
Ranger Ivy has been assisting
in the marking of this timber
for the past several weeks, but
is now back in this area and IS

Other tries were unsuccessful
until finally a SIX mile trip was
made to Pascagoula where an
eight inch hook was bound to a
pole by chain for the catch. And
this time when the gator took
the hook il was for keeps. He
came out threshing wildly and
biting at everything in sight but
he was finally dragged the 200
yards through the marsh to the
trailer.
Bound with the chain, he was
finally loaded into the trailer
and taken to Nolan's Ark where
he was released into a concrete
lined, wire enclosed pool with Is
smaller alligators. But if any
one thinks an alligator is a slow
moving creature he should have
seen those little ones abandoning
that pool to the monsterl And
several days later they still had
MT returned TO the water where
the big fellow lies submerged.
"Ole Granpawn is believed to
have been named by Charley Re-
Were of Orange Grove. a veteran
alligator hunter. who although he
made the big gators acquaint-
ance never nolested him for. as
all alligator hunters do, he took
only those whose hide was COM
mereially valuable. According to
hunters. when an alligator
reaches a certain age his hide is
not fitted for commercial use.
Contrary to common belief, the
alligator is beneficial to good
fishing for he kills the enemies
Of the fish-gGr. snakes and frogs,
the hunters said. Careless men,
however. are about to make ex-
tinet the big old alligators for
they shoot them for no real reas.

Urge Unit System
In Spending Of
County Rood Funds

A resolution urging that county
road funds be spent by the coun-
ty as a unit, and condemning the
practice of dividing rural road
funds into five parts for use OF
each Supervisor in q single beat,
was adopted by the Mississippi
Rural Letter Carriers Association
in annual convention at Biloxi
last week.
Carl d. Barnes. retiring presi-
dent. stated that the rural road
problem in Mississippi can and
should be solved by eliminating
waste of road funds by counties,
not by increasing gasoline taxes
Mr.. Barnes referred to a report
rendered by the General Legisla-
tive Investigating Committee of
January is. i948, wherein the
Legislative Committee declared:
1T is obvious that much loss has
been sustained by the taxpayers
of the state in the working of the
public roads by the Boards of Su-
pervisors in many of the coun-
ties"
A. w. Dennis, New Augusta,
was elected to succeed Mr.. Barnes
as President. J. L. Coleman, Mead
vile, was chosen Secretary
Treasurer for the forthcoming
year, succeeding E. A. Caples,

Five Juveniles,
Mother OF Two
Held In Robberies

Five juveniles were taken into
custody by Pascagoula police
during the past week and the
mother of two of the boys, who
admitted to a series of burglaries,
was placed under bond to await
action by the grand jury on
charges of having stolen prop
erty in her possession.
The youngsters, of whom only
one is ove 16 years of age, will
be turned over to the youth court
because of their age and they
all have been referred to Miss
Bertha Lee Allen, child welfare
worker, officers said.
The two boys who were in
volved in a series of petty rob-
berries which took place during
the past several weeks admitted
at a preliminary hearing to hav-
ing entered the homes of Mrs.
H. B. Moore, 804 Wilson, where
they took a woman's wrist watch,
a mans watch and a bilfold con-
tanning some change, and of Mrs.
S. E. Byrd, 613 Ninth, where a
billfold with a $40 bill was taken,
officers said. They also admitted
to robbing the Little Steak House
of some change and the Little
Dress Shop, both located on
Market street, of costume jewel
ry.
The other three juveniles were
apprhended for the theft of
babbitt from the Horn Island
Seafood Company, police said.
The metal was resold to a junk
yard.
Parents evidently do not re-
alize the seriousness of too much
laxness on their part toward their
children" Mr.. Palmer said. Clos
ing their eyes to or condoning
misdemeanors or even failure to
keep informed of their children's
activities frequently leads to ju-
venile delinquency. If parents
knew that they, too, would have
to face criminal charges we be-
lieve there would be less parental
negligence

Giant Alligator Captured Alive In
Deep Voter Hole Near Orange Grove

Frank "Bring En- Back Alive"
Buck missed a good party at
Orange Grove Sunday night.
The stalking and capture of the
ii-foot. $50 pound alligator in
the marshes at early dusk would
have been right down his alley
and the boys could have used an
extra pair of hands when the
time came to jack-knife the mon
ster into a trailer for transporta-
ton, too.
1t all began when Walter Poole
Of Orange Grove. a veteran gator
hunter, sighted enormous tracks
in the marsh grasses about a
mile south of Orange Grove Sun
day afternoon and trailed the
reptile 70 q small water hole.
Realizing his quarry was too
large for him to handle alone,
Mr.. Poole returned and enlisted
the aid of Winston Nolan. whose
hobby is accommodating a zoo at
his place which he has named
"Nolan's Ark"
The men armed themselves
with long stout poles and a six
inch shark hook at the end of
one Of the poles. Accompanied
BY William "Pie" Moore and Yes
ter Pierce, both of Orange Grove,
they made the trek through the
DOGGY mire of Clark's pond to
the den Of "ole Grandpaw.s
Mr.. Poole probed in a i5-foot
water hole for some minutes
without any results but suddenly
3 terrific crack On the pole and
what appeared 70 he q huge log
came TO life and threshed vio-
lently IN the water. Slowly the
gator pulled out of the hole but
when he got his first look a the
hunters he simply bit off the pole
and uent hack into his lair.
