MINERALS play

MINERALS play an important role in our everyday
lives. They run our factories, ships and trains; they are the
motors of our trucks, aeroplanes and automobiles, and are a
part of the machinery that makes many of the things we
need. Minerals are not only essential components of the eco
nomic and industrial structure of our society, but also of the
physical structure of our bodies.
The minerals you hear most about in industry are iron
often called king of the minerals, and copper. Iron is very
, 1948-09-07

You may not be familiar
with the other minerals found
in the body, because you do
not hear much about them.
They are potassium, sodium,
chlorine, magnesium, mangan-
csc and sulfur. We also need
traces of cobalt, fluorine, alu-
minum and zinc. You hear lit
tie about these because there
seems to be enough of them in
foods chosen for calcium, iron,
copper and iodine.
There are two minerals in
the body in which there is
never a deficiency, in fact
many of us supply them too
generously. These are sodium
and chlorine, supplied by com
mon salt.
Calcium is the king of miner
ais & keeps any one of them
from getting too much con-
troll. We have all heard about
milk as the best source of cal
CUM used in bone and teeth.
We are quite certain to supply
all the minerals needed each
day if we have plenty of milk,
cheese, green leafy vegetables
and whole grain cereals. Mo-
lasses, raisins, prunes and liver
will give US an ample supply
of iron.

important because II is neceS-
sary in the making of steel.
Copper is important because
it is used for the conduction of
electricity.
In nutrition the minerals
you hear most about are cal
cium, phosphorus, iron, cop
per, and iodine. Calcium and
phosphorus take priority over
iron and copper because the
hardness of the bone and teeth
depend upon these two miner
ais. The substances in red
blood cells that carry oxygen
to all regions of the body and
remove carbon dioxide is
made partly of iron and cop
per.
The entire amount of iodine
in our body might be only
about the size of a grain of
wheat, but even this tiny
amount is extremely neces-
sary. Iodine is needed for the
proper functioning of the thy
roid gland. It must be supplied
continuously. Table salt is
"iodized" to prevent goiter in
people living in areas where
iodine is missing in the drink
ing water, where vegetables &
fruits are lacking in it and
where sea food is not availa-
bic.

J The more figures surrounding the opera
) ton of the Ingalls, shipyard in Jackson coun-
: ty during the past nine years are studied, the
i more certain the knowledge that it is not
primarily a Jackson county industry, but a
: statewide Mississippi industry.
A breakdown of employment records at the
: shipyard reveals the following startling
facts:
From 1899 through December LIST, l947, a
total of rs, 1000 people have been employed at
THE yard. OF this number 57,195 or approx
mately rs percent, were native MISSISSIPPI
plans, and of these 3 6,794, or more than two
thirds were drawn from all of MississippIs
81 counties other than Jackson county.
!. A few of the heavy contributors to the In
gals workload were Forrest county with
LOAF; George with 2,446; Harrison with
1851; Kinds with 1897; Jones with 2,013;
Marion with LIP; Lincoln with 988; Pearl
River with 852; Pike with 781; Washington
with 732 and Wayne with 728.
The number of employees drawn from
these counties in some instances represent
ed far more than the total industrial employ
ment in that county. A large portion of the
wages drawn by these workers was, of course,
spent in their home county in the purchase
of farms and homes, improvement of proper
ties and in a hundred different ways that
spread the $122, 000,0 900 ingalls, payroll
throughout the state.
Another check of the Ingalls, workload at
peak employment on July Both, 1914, shows
almost the same percentages. A total of
Il ,228 were employed. More than rs per-
cent were native Mississippians, and more
than two-thirds of these from counties other
than Jackson.
A more recent check, made on July 18th,
1916, showed a total of 6,577 employees. OF
these approximately 80 percent were native
Mississippians with more than 70 percent
from counties other than Jackson.
The figures show that at that time 224
workers were from George county; 14l from
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-03-05
a e Wide Industry

Kinds; 572 from Harrison; III from Jones; "a
from Lauderdale; 88 from Lincoln; 81 from
Marion, and other varying numbers repre-
senting 80 of the states 81 counties other
than Jackson.
The statewide spreading of the ingalls,
payroll was, of course, accompanied by a pro-
portionate spreading of county and munich
pal taxes which the payroll created. 1t has
been conservatively estimated that the In
gals payroll of $122, 000, 900 in a nine-year
period has been responsible for $l0,O00,O00
in state, county and municipal taxes. The
state government and all of the states 81
counties and hundreds of municipalities have
benefited from these taxes.
Certainly these figures are indisputable
proof that Mississippi as a whole has a vital
interest in the continued normal operation
of its largest industry.
That operation can be assured by the
passage of the bill introduced last week in
the state legislature by Representative Gau-
tier which would allow the state to advance
$3.50, 600 to dredge the Pascagoula ship chan
mel to a depth of 30-feet. A companion bill
has been introduced in the national con-
press by Representative Colmer which would
allow the Federal government to reimburse
the state.
Without the deeper water the ingalls, yard
will not be able to participate in building
the larger type of vessels called for in the
1O-year Maritime Commission program,
which includes the construction of 144 YES
sells. Its operation will also be handicapped in
many other ways.
Many men and women from other coun-
ties are still employed at the ingalls, yard
and know the Importance of this project to
the future of the yard. Write to your home
county state legislator and senator and tell
them how important it is that this money be
appropriated, so that the entire state of Mis-
sissippi will continue to benefit from the
payroll brought to our state by this indus
try.

Several Injured
In Car Accidents
Officers Report

One person was seriously in
jured, several others suffered
minor hurts and considerable
damage was done to automobiles
in a series of accidents in Jack
son County reported this week by
police officers.
Roy Saucier, one of the six oc-
cupants of an automobile driven
by Edward T. Rogers of Esca-
tawpa, received severe gashes on
his neck and cheek when the
automobile apparently got out
of control and crashed into a
light pole on South Pascagoula
street shortly after midnight
Saturday. None of the other &C.
cupants were hurt. Officers E. E.
Blakeney and G.. L. Farrar in
vestigated.
Mrs. Earline Richardson of
Route /, ~Pascagoula, was hospi-
talized Saturdays when the car
she was driving collided with a
Mississippi Export train at the
Kenneth street crossing. Mrs.
Richardson's injuries were not
said to be serious.

Later in the day Saturday, the
car driven by Henry Rether-
ford, 918 Williams street, Pas
cagoula, was sideswiped by a
automobile driven by Miss Dor
othy Leaman of Biloxi and own
ed by Chester Bohman of Pas
cagoula. Miss Leaman was fin
ed $40 for reckless driving and
SIS for having no drivers license
at a hearing before Justice B. B.
Hobby and Bohman was fined
SIS for public drunkenness, Pa
trolman Gray reported.
Two negroes, Mary Beck and
Lewis Ingrame of Pascagoula,
received treatment at the Jack
son County hospital Wednesday
when they were struck and
knocked down by a a driven
along Jackson avenue by Miss
Earline McGarT, 1131 Admiral
Dewey street. Chief of Police
j. f. Shirley said the two PED
estrians stepped out into the
street to avoid a puddle of water
by the side of the pavement and
when Miss McGarr put on her
brakes after she saw them her
car skidded in the rain and struck
them. No charges had been
filed, Chief Shirley said.

back steps. In addition the un-
sanitary dump is a breeding
place for disease carrying flys.
Both the county and the city
have promised to do something
about this condition for the past
two or three years. but we still
possess our same unsightly and
disease breeding dump. A
sanitary continuous fill dump
through the cooperation of the
could be easily established
city and the county, and both
would be rid of this menace to
the health Of its citizens.
The lengths to which our
hysteria about Communism

emplified than IN the rumor

a 7,800-ton shallow draft tanker
for the Texas Company. The In

the first of several that the COM
pany is excepted to seek bids on.
The contract for construction,
however, has not yet been award

Two more C-3 type vessels,
similar to the Steel City, now

Delegation Arrives Friday
The legislative delegation is
scheduled to arrive in Pascagoula
late Friday. Saturday morning
the visitors will be taken on
a tour of the ingalls, yard. They
will then board the Coast Guard
Cutter Nike, which will come
here from Gulfport, for an in
spection of the river front and
the Pascagoula channel and
Horn Island Pass.
Use of the Nike for the inspec-
ton trip was granted by the
Coast Guard commandment at
Washington after requests by
Capt. H. H. Cole and Congress
man Colmer.
The ingalls, yard will be un-
able to bid on a large volume of
work called for under the Mari
time Commission ship building
program, scheduled to start July
LIST, unless a deeper channel is
obtained. The yard has also been
denied a maintenance and re-
pair contract by the Navy and
Maritime Commission because of
the shallow ship channel.
The presidents advisory conf
mittee has recommended that "a
large vessels be included in the
1948-49 Maritime Commission
program. These vessels would
be capable of quick conversion to
troop carriers in case of emery
ency. However, most would be
of too great a draft for the Pas

other facilities for building the
vessels exist at the ingalls, yard.
