Urge Donations Of
Time And Funds
For Red Cross

The Jackson County chapter
of the American Red Cross will
officially open it's campaign on
March 8, Merle F. Palmer, county
fund campaign chairman, an
nounced this week.
The necessity of contributing
to the Red Cross so that it will
have funds to continue its serv-
ices is urgent, Mr.. Palmer assert
ed, pointing out what was done
by this organization here and
along the coast during the hur-
ricane in September.
II wish the people, by their do
nations, to make certain that we
have the needed revenue for Red
Cross service If disaster strikes
this county again." he said. "The
Red Cross is your organization,
for your protection and for your
welfare and every person who
makes a contribution is as much
a part of this great American in
stitution as the highest official
connected with it,"
"We are living in days of un-
certainty" he continued. THE
peace which people all over the
world had hoped and prayed
would some day become reality,
is slowly ebbing away amid bick-
strift and indecision. What
the future holds for our people,
no one can foretell but in the age
of atomic and meteorological war
fare. we know and realize as
never before that the Red Cross
is the peoples first weapon of
defense in case of attack"
Mr.. Palmer appealed to the
people of this county not only for
donations but for con-
tribution of time and effort in
canvassing the county in the col
lection of funds.

Housing Units

The Pupblic Housing Authority

Authority for a three to four
month extension on its commit
ment in the sale of the so govern
ment-owned Gulfdale houses for
negroes, r. E. Bates, regional d.

to doubt but hat the extension
will be granted and the sale de-
layed that length of time"

Principles Of
Rotary Subject
Of Club Speaker

The presence of two former
district governors distinguished
Rotary club on Thursday. They
were the Rev. "A. c.. Ingram 81
Bogalusa, who is a former mem
Der of the local club, and Ray
Butler of Ocean Springs guest
speaker.
In observance of Rotary's birth
day, the last week in February be-
ing the date of the 43rd anniver-
sary, Mr.. Butler chose as his
subject Our Past.
The fundamental concept of
the originator Of Rotary, Paul
Harris of Chicago, was that bust
ness men could and should be
personal friends, Mr.. Butler said.
From this original the formal
clubs were established and the
organization spread.
But the four principles of the
club remain the same: The devel-
opment of acquaintance and
friendships within the club; bust
ness standards lifted; the applica-
ton of principles Of Rotary in
public and private life; and de-
velopment of international under
standing.
MI. Butler closed with me
statement that Rotary was the
channel through which ideas can
be disseminated throughout the
corners of the earth.
Pascagoula Rotarians who were
visitors were w. r. Guest, ST., E.

the highlights of the industrial
expansion in Pascagoula and

a new spirit prevailing in the

If the South expects to take

Holden Resigns;
Will Go To Pearl
River College

Throug Thomas r. Wells, sup
Ierintendent of the Pascagoula
city schools, the board of trustees
has announced the resignation of
Coach Dobie Holden effective at
the end of the current school
year. Coach Holden has accepted
a position with the Pearl River
Junior college at Poplarville
Miss, as athletic director and in
structor.
Coach Holden came to Pasca-
goual in 1914 and has turned out
unusually fine teams in all sports.
His four years of effort were
climaxed with the l947 Panther
football team which went through
the season undefeated, capturing
the regional and the Big Eight
crowns and downing Hazelhurst
in a post season game for the
mythical state championship.
In making the announcement
of Coach Holden's resignation,
Mr.. Wells said: II know I speak
for the members of the Board
when I say that his announce
ment is made with a feeling of
keen disappointment. I regret
his loss not only as an athletic
coach but as a builder of youth.
THE boys with whom he has
been associated will long remem-
Der him and his standard of con-
duct and discipline both on and
off the athletic field. We wish
him the best of luck when he
goes to his new position and con-
graduate him on his entry into a
field which he believes to hold
greater opportunity for him."
Expresses Regret
In submitting his resignation
to Supt. Wells, Coach Holden
made the following statement:
I'D like to express my appre-
citation to you and every member
of the Board of Trustees for the
generous three year contract ten
dered me and offer my sincere
regrets at not being able to accept.
For some years | have been har-
boring the desire to enter the
field of education at the college
level in addition to my athletic
work; and as the opportunity has
presented itself, I feel reluctant to
turn it down.
1.-THE spirit of cooperation and
enthusiasm manifested by those
under your administration, the
Board of Trustees and the citiz-
ems of this community has been
whole hearted and more than any
one could ask. Were / to remain
in high school work, I'd rather
serve in Pascagoula than in any
other Big Eight school in this
state.
you and the citizens of this
community are to be commended
on having such a fine high type
boy and girl to work with. The
association has been a real pleas
ure.
My family joins me in express
sion of our thanks for the excel
lent manner in which we have
been accepted and regret the
termination of our stay at the
close of this school year"

Report On Israel
BY ISAAC HAMLIN
National Secretary


drut and it's manifold undertake
ings. From the purely financial
point of view, it is therefore i'm
possible for the government of
Israel, during the coming few
years, to assume responsibility for
the various economic, social and
cultural institutions thus far
maintained by the Histadrut.
Seemingly, the Israel govern
ment is coalition government
which is composed of various ele-
ments. Although the non-labor
elements are in the minority, they
will prevent the use of govern
ment funds for Histadrut pur-
poses. 1t is not a question Of
majority or minority, as these
Histadrut functions will remain
responsibilities of Histadrut for
many years to come, just as many
other tasks will fall upon the
World Zionist Organization, rath-
er than upon the Israel govern
ment.
Therefore, many people who
thought that the government
would take over the functions of
Histadrut, have been living I'M
der an illusion. This attitude is
unrealistic and can only weaken
the effort on the part of world
Jewry and the friends of Labor
Palestine.
The Histadrut will continue to
remain an Independent organiza-
ton. About this there can be no
doubt. The Histadrut will con-
tinue it's work of building on Soc
ial and cooperative principles, on
principles of self-labor, culture
and human relationships. The
period of Haluziut, of cooperative
labor and colonization did not
terminate with the birth of the
Jewish State. On the contrary, it
is now blossoming forth. It is for
this reason that the Histadrut
must have it's independent funds
to stimulate the creative forces
and expand its economic, social
and cultural institutions thus
strengthening the progressive
foundations upon which Zionism
and the Jewish State rest. AS a
matter of fact, the functions of
Histadrut have multiplied since
he founding of Israel.
