With holidays varying. from
one and a half to three days, the
working people of Jackson coun-
ty have eagerly looked forward
to this weekend when they will
be free to join in the Christmas
festivities and activities,
Virtually all business will b e
suspended Saturday and Sunday
and some offices and the post of
flee will begin their holiday at
moo today, Christmas Eve. Most
of the schools in the county closed
last Friday for a two-week vaca-
ton but several of the rural
schools chose to continue classes
through Thursday and take only
a week off from classes.
The fact that Christmas comes
on Saturday will, in fact cheat
those who work in offices which
ordinarily close at noon Saturday
out of a half day holiday. En-
ployees in the banks in Pasca-
goula and Moss Point, for in
stance, will actually gain only
Saturday morning as their vaca-
ton.

Transient Robbed
1921 Saturday
In Quick Theft

Girls Christensen, a 56-year-old
transient, was robbed of $247.16
in a tightening theft, early Sat
urday evening only a few min
utes after he had been released
from police headquarters where
he had been questioned by immi-
grafton officials, according to po-
lice reports.
The man, a Scandinavian, who
said he had no permanent hong
address. was picked up for in
vestigation by City Policemen
Baggett and Blakeney about l a.
m. Saturday morning as he was
walking through Pascagoula.
Lack of naturalization or any pa.
pers of Identification, led to the
notification of immigration Off
Gals who completed their ques-
tioning and released him about
6:15 p. m. The money, which had
been kept for him by police, was
returned to him and he placed it
in his wallet and left to continue
his trip East" he said.
About an hour later, he re-
turned and informed Chief of
Police J. E. Shirley that he had
been robbed on Market street by
a very tall, large" nan who
jumped from a new green auto
mobile. He said the man, with
out hesitation, reached into the
pocket where he carried his wal
let and took the money and
jumped back into the waiting EAR.
Christensen said he grabbed for
the door handle to try to get in
to the car but the car drove off
and turned right on the street
leading into Carver Village.
Christensen told police the car
was "slanted in the back and had
a light on the running board or
the bottom of the front seat that
turned on when the door opened"
The victim got only a fleeting
look at the robber.
