the Pascagoula Garden club at
the center on Washington avenue

dent, Mrs. julius Virgins, re-
ported that a number of olean-
ders had been planted in various
sections of the city and that there
were still plants on hand which

committees to carry them out
were appointed by Mrs. Virgins.
1t was decided to furnish flow
ers for the table arrangements at

carrying on the program is paid
for by the federal government,
which amounts to another $10,-
900 annually which could be
counted in the increased budget,
bringing it to more than $4,000
in the county.
IN referring to the improper
operation of the sewage disposal
plant, Dr.. Hedmeg said that the
health department is not a po-
lice agency and functions only
by edusation.
Letters from the state health
department pointing out improp-
er opeI alton of the plant, and
containing recommendations were
some time ago furnished the
city government and the local
newspaper by us. The inspec-
ton of the plant was made at
our request" he said.
Unjustified Criticism :.
He also said that he had heard
criticisms of the restaurant in
spection service, which he said,
were not based in fact. The serv-
ice has been excellent, he said,
with marked results and has
been carried out under the
supervision of a trained and out
standing director. The record,
he concluded, will bear this out.
During a question and an
swer session at the end of the
talk it was pointed out by Easton
King, editor of the Chronicle
Star, that no criticism had been
offered by the newspaper of the
restaurant inspection work, nor
of the functions of the health de1
partment personnel, but that
criticism had been made concern
ing the lack of a full time director
who would aid in crystallizing
public opinion concerning basic
health problems of the commun-
ity. Karl Wiesenburg, repre-
senting the Kiwanis Club at the
meeting, also said that, in h S
opinion lack of action on certain
community health needs could
also be attributed to this cause.
The meeting was attended by
representatives of a number of
civic clubs of the city.
The Pascagoula Rotary Club
entertained the Ocean Springs
club members and their wives at
a dinner Thursday night at the
Country Club when George Rop-
er, assistant director of Worlds
Trade, International house, New
Orleans, was guest speaker.
A non-profit organization,
World Trades has over 1000 men,
bers with 600 outside the city of
New Orleans and 200 of these
from foreign countries. Mr..
Roper told of the organization,
Importance and benefits of World
Trades and of the assistance CIV
en- by the organization to indus
tries and individuals desiring aid
in exporting their goods. Among
those helped were some from
Alabama, Louisiana, st. Louis,
Mo-, and Florida. Operating
funds determine the amount of
member dues with no effort
made to show any profit.
There is a course conducted in
New Orleans in training for work
ing in World Trades. At first
this class was open only to War
veterans but recently it has been
opened to high school graduates.
The first class of so recently
graduated, Mr. Roper said.

utilization of public opinion,
and bringing to bear against
unsatisfactory conditions the
weight of this opinion. There
are three specific health prob
lens facing Jackson county at
the present time that. despite
editorializing over the past two
years by this newspaper, r
still with us and as great a
menace today to our popula-
ton as they were two, three or
four years ago. One is garbage
disposal, another is the made
quate and inefficient operation
of the sewage disposal plant,
and the other the lack of a meat
inspection law in the county
and communities.
The laying of a cold factual
report on the desk of city OF
county officials aceomplishes
exactly nothing, in most in
stances, unless it is backed by
the weight of public opinion.
The marshalling of public opin-
ION against problems of public
service affecting the health and
welfare of the entire county or
ar individual community is, we
believe. a definite function of
the public health service and il
does not require police meth
DDS. II requires only taking adj
vantage of mediums of public
expression to bring before the
people, forcefully and repeat
eddy, conditions that need cor
recting. We believe that a full
time health director, as a citi-
zen and member of the COM
munity and county, could do
just this and bring about, as
DR.. Hedmeg pointed out, the
necessary reforms by what
amounts to a process of educa-
ton.
We also believe that the coun-
ty could supplement the salary
of a public health officer to
bring it to a level that would
attract a competent young doc
tor. If there is any real desire
on. the part of the county's citi-
zens to have a full time health
director. we can get one. If
this desire. however. is con-
fined to discussions and lunch
con meetings Wen continue
just as we are.

The matter of a full time
health officer for Jackson
county came under discussion
again this week when DR.. An
drew Hedmeg, who now heads
the health departments in Har-
rison and Jackson counties, ex-
planned his own position and
the work of the health unit in
an address before the Pasca-
goula Rotary Club. There is no
question but that Jackson coun-
tyA merits the services of a full
time health director, DR.. He'd
meg said, but the problem is
finding one. Chief obstacle, he
said, is the inadequate salary
scale offered public health doc
tors which is so low that il fails
to attract capable young doc
tors, or fails to hold them in the
state public health service
against more lucrative offers
from other states, or the larger
income offered by private
practice.
Solution to this problem, DIR.
Hedmeg believes, is the estab-
lishment of regional health
units composed of two to three
counties which would be adj
ministered by some 35 to 40
health officers. In this way, he
points out. savings in admins
trative costs could be added to
the salary schedules of public
health doctors, which would
tend to put the incomes of pub
lie health doctors in Mississippi
on a par with those of other
states. DR.. Hedmeg is dead
right when he says that young
doctors cannot be expected to
sacrifice the bigger incomes
offered by private practice, or
to pass up larger salaries for
the same work in other states
in order to continue their ca
reers In the public health serv-
ice in Mississippi. DR.. Hedmeg
would combine with the re-
gional health units a series of
regional laboratories to in
crease the effectiveness of pub
lie health work in Mississippi.
We believe DR.. Hedmeg's an
swer to the states public health
problem is essentially and bas-
ically correct. But we also be-
lieve that such a plan is in the
far distant future. Mississippi
in the past few years has made
tremendous strides in inersas-
ing its medical and health ia

Education Week
To Be Observed
All Schools

American Education Week
will be observed throughout the
county by special programs in
all of the county and city schools
during the period from Novem-
Der 8-12.
Hurley will start its observ-
ance of the week by a special
program at a union service of
all churches and patrons at the
school on Sunday evening, Nov
ember z. On Wednesday of this
week under the auspices of the
MIA, an educational program
was given at the st. Martins
school.
Open House will be held by
each of the county school sys-
TENS.
A chapel program for Friday,
November IL, is being arranged
by the school authorities, L. w.
Tanner, superintendent of the
Moss Point city schools announc-
ed. A guest speaker will be Sc
cured for the occasion he said.
In addition to the chapel pro-
gram to be held at the high
school invitations are being is
sued to all patrons of the schools
to visit during the Open House
to be held during the week in
all of the city schools.
The Pascagoula Public schools
plan to have a rather elaborate
celebration with every school in
the city preparing to extend a
welcome to parents and friends
to visit the schools during this
period.
Each school will send special
invitations to its patrons indicat-
ing the special activities which
it will feature. Special assemb-
lies, displays of work and ex-
hibitions of activities will be a
feature in every unit.
OF particular interest is the
| Open House to be held at the
Junior high school at TOO pm.
on Tuesday evening, November
9. The school day will be car
ried through in its entirety on
a miniature basis, with the en-
tire program lasting approx
mately one hour and fifteen
minutes. Parents are urged to
be present and observe a routine
day with their children.
A feature of the week at the
Senior high school will be the
presence of several luncheon
clubs that will have their meal
in the high school cafeteria and
| observe certain features of the
school program.
Friday, November IL, will be
a special day in the weeks OBJ
servance at the Pascagoula High
school when displays prepared
by various departments will be
on view for visitors, Virgil Gill,
principal, announced. A special
assembly will be held at 2 pm.
Visitors will be welcome during
the entire week, however, he said.
The theme of this years cele-
bration Strengthening the Foun-
dations of Freedom will be pre-
sented to the general public
through movie trailers that will
be shown in the local theaters.
These programs are planned to
focus the attention of the public
on the comprehensive and eff
fective job being done by the
public schools in furnishing an
education program for the peo-
pie of this county. However,
school authorities emphasize that
while the Open House is being
stressed for this observance OF
Education Week there is a stand
ing invitation to the public to
visit the schools any day.

cilities both public and private.
Under its hospital program our
state is fast moving from the
bottom of the national list in
the availability of hospital ia
cilities. The program has drawn
national praise and, within a
few years, promises Mississippi
a modern system of county hos
pitfalls. The program of medical
scholarships is also operating
successfully and offsetting, to
some degree, the lack of a four
year medical school in the state.
Progress is also being made
along other lines, all vital to
the health and welfare of our
people. Unfortunately, though,
in this writer's opinion the
state health department is not
overburdened with either Wis
ion or a spirit of progress. For
that reason we believe that DR..
Hedmeg's solution, or a similar
one that would modernize pub
lie health, lies somewhere in
the future and that brings us
back to the immediate prob
lem of a full time director of
the Jackson County health de-
partment.
DR.. Hedmeg cited a fine rec
ord compiled by the local
health unit in his talk of this
week. He, and the personnel
of the local unit, are to be con-
graduated or the increased
budget and broadened scope of
services. However, we still be-
lieve, as we did two years ago
at the time DR.. Hedmeg left us
to take up residence in Gulf
port and continue to direct our
health department from there,
that certain vital public health
problems would have been
solved before now if we had
had the services of a full time
director who lived among us,
studied our problems and was
interested in them as a citizen
as well as a public health off
Ger. DR.. Hedmeg said in his talk
that the public health service
was not a police agency. and
that he did not believe in po-
lice methods in the administra-
ton of that service. We fully
agree with him in this state
ment.
We do believe. however, that
reforms whether in the realm
of public health Or any other

Safeguards Prevent
Brooder House Fire

Chick brooding by any of the four
common heating methods involves
possible fire hazard, and the too-fre-
quent news paragraph reporting
brooder house fire losses seldom tells
the whole story.
The house, chicks and equipment
losses can be seen. points out A. V.
Krewatch, extension agricultural engi-
neer at the University of Maryland,
but the years Of careful breeding and
selection represented in many Of
these broods cannot be measured in
dollars.
Carelessness almost always is the
cause of these fires, according to Kre-
watch. Wiring for electric breeders
must be heavy enough to carry the
load without heating, and all con-
nections must be tight. Flexible leads
connecting directly to gas brooder
units are worth checking, too and
burners usually can stand a good go
ing over.
Some attention should be given to
the burners Of oil brooders, too, he
adds. Oil lines must be tight, and the
oil flow mechanism cleaned for
smooth, easy action. Repair at once
any cracks or loose joints in the coal
brooder, the engineer advises, and be
sure it is placed on an insulated metal
mat or concrete slab as safeguard
against ashes, sparks or live Goals
dropping through. Finally, make Ger
tain that vent pipes are securely
fastened at each Joint, and intersec-
tons with the roof or side wall are
shielded with an insulating thimble.
