Protect Your Right To Vote!

If you want to vote in the Pascagoula city elections
this summer, check now to see that you are properlyEreg-
istered on the city rolls. "
County registration with the circuit clerk is not suf-
ficient. In order to be eligible to vote in the city elections
a voter must also be registered on the city rolls. This
can be done by applying at the city clerks office in City
Hall. Even though a voter is qualified in all other res
poets, he or she will not be able to vote in the city cleo
tions unless such registration is made. =
Friday, April 9th, one week from today, is the dead
line for such registration. Unless registration is complet-
ed and your name entered on the city rolls on or before
that date you will be disqualified.
P~ascagoula has many new voters who have become
eligible since the last city elections in 1914. Many of these
are under the impression that their registration with the
circuit clerk qualities them to take part in the city cleo
ton. 1t Does Not. Additional registration Must be made
with the city clerk. Such registration, once made, is con-
tinuouS.
Date for the Democratic primary in which a mayor
and two councilmen will be elected will set by the city
Democratic Executive Committee following the April
9th deadline for registration.
Don't Delay. Check to see that you are properly reg.
istered. The protection of your right to vote Is an obliga-
tion of citizenship.

Accident On
Bridge Fatal
For Seaman
Motorcycle Ride
Cluims Life Of
Norfolk Youth

Leo B. Hero, 2l-year-old mer-
chant seaman of Norfolk, Va, was
fatally injured Tuesday morning
when he was thrown from his
motorcycle on the Pascagoula
River bridge.
The young marine engineer
suffered a fractured skull, accord
ing to State Highway Patrolman
w. G. Gray, investigating officer.
He was taken 10 jackson County
hospital and shortly after was
removed by Fails ambulance to
the Marine hospital in Mobile
where he died Tuesday night.
Hero lost control of his motor
cycle as he came onto the bridge
from the steep, uneven approach,
according to witnesses. This is the
second similar accident to occur
on the bridge in the past few
months. In the previous accident,
a young man riding a motorcy-
Gle was seriously injured on the
bridge.
Hero was travelling in company
with two friends, S. H. Cogsdale
of Norfolk and Joseph Reid, Wag-
ner, S. c., when the accident oc-
CURED, Officer Gray said. The
young man had just bought a
l941 model motorcycle in New
Orleans and Cogsdale had offer
ed to ride it back to Norfolk mas
much as Hero did not know how
to ride well.
As the three men came to a
stretch of open road between
Ocean Springs and Pascagoula,
Hero said he would drive a while,
Mr.. Gray said, and Cogsdale NOV
ed over to the other motorcycle
with Reid. When they approached
Pascagoula, Cogsdale asked Hero
to let him take his motorcycle
through town but Hero refused,
Cogsdale told the police officer.
As Hero turned into the bridge,
up the incline approach, he APP
parently became excited and
seemed to give the machine more
gas instead of cutting down. The
motorcycle jumped beneath him,
throwing him to the bridgeway.
