Is, to spend the day. He will
arrive about 8 am. and will
make his headquarters in front of
the City Hall. it was announced
by the officials of the Knights

He might possibly be checking
UP to see what little boys and
girls have been naughty OF nice"
and be making his lists. Then
again he will probably be in
terested in the progress that the
Knights of Columbus and Pasca-
goula firemen are making in
their Doll and Toy campaign.

rect this condition and we feel it
is the right time for inspection

often eaten raw whereas other
seafood is migratory and is sell

Vets Called For
Bonus Discussion

A mass meeting of veterans to
discuss the state bonus and also
the housing situation in Pasca-
goula will be sponsored by the
Elmer Joseph Grant Post 1878,
Veterans of Foreign Wars Friday,
December II, at 1880 p. M, Arm
old w. Stone, commander, an
nounced.
A special invitation has been
issued all OF the newly elected
City Councilmen of Pascagoula
to attend so they may know how
the veterans feel about the hous-
ing program.
The VFW will back a move by
veterans of Mississippi to obtain
a state bonus, Karl Wiesenburg,
state commander, told several
hundred veterans at a meeting
in Pascagoula Monday night and
at the close of the speech tn e
men present voted unanimously
for payment of the bonus. Six
teen states have already granted
state bonuses, Commander Wies-
enburg said.
States Recognition Minor
"Mississippi's contribution to-
ward the recognition of the sac
rifices made by those who served
in actual combat is so small as t
be negligible" he declared. The
only contribution made in this
tate to the veterans has been the
Veterans Farm and Home Board.
which in the long run will make
q profit for the state. The State
Board of Veterans Affairs oper-
ates on a very slim biennial ap-
nropriation."
The speaker pointed out that
the only features of the CT Bill
to benefit veterans are the edu-
eational and unemployment pro-
visions and many of the men are
too old to profit from these pro-
visions. He expressed the belief
that the state can afford to pay
these bonuses without harm to
other services but that the bonus
will mot be achieved without a
fight"
IF necessary the veterans will
organize, precinct bv precinct. for
the purpose of electing candidates
favorable to the bonus.' he said.
There has been no fixed amount
