Somebody ought to tell Dur

is a time and place for every
thing.
Maybe IL he'd cut his wisdom
teeth on that old adage he would
not be cooling his heels in the
Jackson county Jail charged with
breaking and entering in the
nighttime and destroying per-
sonal property. For the simplest
Pascagoulan knows that the Barq
building on South Pascagoula
street at $50 p. m. on a Satur-
day night Is neither the place
the time to run amok.
But for the information for the
orderly and innocent and new
corners to Pascagoula, the Barq
building is known shelly for hous
ing the city police department
and $3.50 p. m. on a Saturday, a
person just sorta expects to see
a bunch of fingers on the arm of
the law sitting around waiting to
their uniforms to the tax

And so a hornets nest Is a
bed of roses compared to what
