Hen Adopts Kitties.
Excludes Cat From
Week Old Family

There's a game hen on Market
street that's ready to hang out
her sign as a kitten sitter.
She's the property of Chester
Hanshaw who Wednesday dis
covered that she had usurped the
place of the mother cat in the
abandoned horse trough in the
barn which the cat had chosen
for her new arrivals home. And
she won't let anyone fool with
her furry brood, either.
Whether she lets the mother
cat in to feed the week-old kit
ties is something the Hanshaws
haven't been able to find out and
they're puzzled over how to con-
vince the hen that she didn't
hatch the kittens and that they
are really no business of hers.
Chester. who is we'll known in
Pascagoula where he has held the
job of street cleaner for many
years, says the hen was laying
and showed no signs of wanting
to set until he discovered her

Mobile Shortcut
To Be Closed To
Truck Truffic

The Mobile shortcut, running
from the old county airport to
Highway 80 at Orange Grove,
will again be closed to heavy
truck traffic until such time as
the blacktop can be repaired and
put into condition TO handle the
heavy traffic load, the county
board of supervisors decided at
a meeting Tuesday afternoon at
the court house in Pascagoula.
The shortcut was opened to
truck traffic some time ago in
order to eliminate traffic hazards
on narrow Highway 90 through
Kreole and Moss Point. A traffic
light has since been installed at
Kreole which helps eliminate
traffic danger for school children
crossing the highway at Kreole.
The blacktop along the short
cut has become badly battered by
the heavy traffic. Efforts are be-
ing made to have the highway
department take over mainten-
ance OF the shortcut. Meanwhile
IL will remain closed to heavy
truck traffic until such time as
repairs can be completed.

Egg Within Egg
Rivuls One Of
RipleY's Oddities

In these DAYS of super produc-
ton one of the hens of a mixed
flock owned by Mrs. Eloise West
faul of East Moss Point laid an
egg measuring seven and a fourth
inches in circumference and more
than that, enclosed inside of the
super-egg was a second perfectly
formed even to the shell.
Mrs. Westfaul is not sure which
hen produced the egg. She found
it when she was gathering some
eggs to assist the Easter bunny
and boiled it with the others.
When the shell was cracked
the second egg inside was dis
covered. It was brought into the
office of the Chronicle Star and
Advertiser to compete with some

Opposition Bill
To Federal School
Aid Legislation

A bill has been introduced in
u. S. congress in opposition to
the indentical bills authored by
Representatives Combs and Col
mer and several others providing
federal assistance for schools with
enlarged enrollments directly con-
tributable to wartime activities
and the two bills are currently
in committee, both scheduled TO
come up for hearing within the
next ten days or two weeks.
The bill which by its provisions
would eliminate Pascagoula and
Moss Point and approximately 100
of the las schools now receiving
assistance under the federal aid
legislation is backed by the Ma
tional Council of Chief State
School Officers through their
executive secretary, Edgar Fuller.
This bill specifically outlaws
any school from receiving feder-
al aid for more than three years
unless there has been another
substantial increase in school en-
rollments."
Thomas R. Wells, superinten-
dent of Pascagoula schools,
pointed out that although the en-
rollment in Pascagoula schools
has actually dropped below war
time peak and the Moss Point
schools show no increase both
schools have an enrolment con-
siderably over their pre-war
registration.
Mr.. Wells further stated that
in his opinion not a single Mis-
sissippi school would be eligible
to receive any monies under this
plan"

Insect Control By
DOT Fog To Be
Started In County

The jackson County Health De-
partment will begin a new insect
control program about May 1,
Dr. Andrew ]. Hedmeg, health
officer, announced this week.
A fog machine is being pur-
chased through the board of SUI
pervisors and will be used to
spray a DOT mixture through
the county in an attack ON breed
ing places Of mosquitoes, flies and
gnats and the Jogging program
will be repeated every two weeks,
DIR. Hedmeg explained.
Approximately a year ago state
and federal experts used a KEGS.
Ter Field plane to make a survey
of the coast with relation to max
ing this a coastwise program but
the operating costs for such a
project were so high that imme-
date plans were dropped.
However, following conferences
with the county Board Of Super
visors and city officials. 1t was
decided to demonstrate the eff
f~ectiveness of such a program on
q month TO month basis. thus re-
ducing the cost by more than g
half. The original plan called for
plane coverage Of outlying is
lands and marshes but this was
of necessity eliminated.
A pickup truck Is being fur
nished by the supervisors for
transporting the machine and
supplies and funds to spay the OPP.
orator and for the truck up-keer
will come from the county typhus
funds appropriated annually. The
cities will provide fuel, such as
kerosene or diesel oil, to be used
in mixing the DDT. The state
Board OF Health has allocated
1000 pounds of dot TO the coun-
ty for this project.
The county's natural division
lines will be used - Ocean
Springs and vicinity, Pascagoula
arcs and Moss Peint area. There
will be traffic hazards connected
with the spraying and for this
reason DR.. Hedmeg said present
plans are to do most Of the work
from midnight to daylight. COW
ering each area street by street.
Swamp, ditch and dump areas
will be given special attention.
Due to the limited coverage pos
sible under this reduced program
no personal premises or houses
can be treated, he pointed out.
''This is not primarily a public
health problem" DIR. Hedmee
said, "as insect carriers of dis.
eases are not a major problem
on the coast. 1t is a public serv.
ice TO which the health depart.
ment feels the citizens and tour,
lists are entitled. Secondary health
benefits have been derived from
areas where such spraying pro.
grams are in progress. They in

Norwegian
Ship Loads
Cargo Here
Second Ship In
Port Program:
Third Due Soon

. The second ship under Jack
son county's expanded port de-
velopment plan cleared the Pas
cagoula wharf at noon Thursday
with l,640 tons of railroad ties
loaded at Pascagoula for export
to Belgium.
The vessel was the S. S. Nirda-
dial, 7,l00-ton Norwegian freight
er under charter to the Isbrandt-
sen Steamship Co. She arrived
here early Wednesday morning
from Mobile and began taking
cargo shortly after 8 a. m.
Loading operations continued
round-the-clock Wednesday night
and were completed about 8 a.
m. Thursday morning. The vessel
arrived here from Mobile and will
call at Gulfport, New Orleans and
Houston after leaving here.
Loading operations were han
died by the Pascagoula Steve
doring Co. under the supervision
of Hermes and Quinn Gautier
with three gangs of local steve
dores numbering approximately
60 men.
Third Ship Scheduled
The first vessel to be loaded
out here was the S. S. Wilfred,
also of the Isbrandtsen Line,
which picked up $500 tons of
railroad ties last month. Indica-
tions we're that another ship
would be scheduled within the
next two-week period because of
the volume of ties being delivered
by saWmills in this area.
Clearing weather has made pos
sible an increase in sawmill OPP
erations, and as a result there is
an increase in the number of ties
being delivered to Lacoste, Inc,
the shippers, for open storage on
the dock front property which the
company leased several months
ago from the City of Pascagoula
and the Port Commission.
Approximately 1000 ties were
delivered TO the dock storage site
last week, with indications that
the volume will increase to 10,-
600 or better. Ten of the ties are
equal to one ton in weight.
Increased Shipping
If the volume reaches this point
or exceeds it, it will become nee
essary to operate a minimum of
two ships a month out of Pasca-
| goula, members of the shipping
firm said. Lacoste, Inc, also plans
an export program of bridge tim
bers through Pascagoula.
Meantime, U. S. Engineers said
the 31-foot Pascagoula ship chan
mel should be completed by late
next week. A U. S. Engineer hop
per dredge is scheduled to begin
work on the deepening and wild
ening of Horn Island Pass shortly,
which will be the final phase of
the channel dredging program.
The hopper dredge will take ap-
proximately three months to
complete work on the Pass.
