School Aid Bills
Start Gamui OF
U. S. Congress

Legislation which would erase
the deficit in the i948-49 school
budget and bring federal aid to
the Pascagoula and Moss Point
public schools for the next two
years got a running start through
national lawmaking channels last
week when one bill was released
to the House Appropriations COM
mittee and the other was intro
duced in duplicate by a number
of congressman in the House.
Thomas r. Wells, superintend-
ent of Pascagoula schools, and
Luther w. Tanner. superintendent
of Moss Point schools, returned
last weekend from Washington.
D. C., where they attended a
meeting of the National Organi-
cation of School Superintendent

Incurred School Enrollments, of
which group Mr.. Wells is secre-
tary-treasurer.
Approximately "a persons from
IA states, representing about &c
schools we're in attendance for
the purpose of doing everything
possible to obtain federal aid for
their schools.
President Truman had approved
two million dollars to cover cur-
rent school year deficits resulting
from needs not cared for by the
original appropriation for the
school year but the bill presently
in congressional channels calls
for the full three million needed.

Provisions for the payment of
the deficits are embodied in the

Citizens Rally To
Provide Lunches
For Children

Citizens of the Pascagoula- Moss
Point area are making a valiant
effort to see that there will be no
hungry boys and girls in the city
schools.
AS the school lunch fund for
needy children in Pascagoula was
swelled this week with contribu-
tons for midday meals for five
additional youngsters, reports
from the Charlotte Hyatt school
in Moss Point revealed that 1889
lunches we're purchased for pu-
pills during the first semester at
an expenditure of $284.75.
The Pascagoula Central Fire
Company No. | turned over $50
to the fund to cover lunches for
four children for the second Sc
mester and the Painters Local
1925 contributed $40 for lunches
for another child. Although the
sum was not contributed through
the fund, the Kiwanis club this
week gave a check for SIS to the
Junior high school to purchase
lunches for one of the students
unable to spend the rs cents a
day for the meal.
In addition to the lunches
bought for children at the Hyatt
school, 81 bottles of milk were
served at a cost of $5.46, which
brought the total expenditure to
$290.2l. These funds we're con.
tributed through the generosity
of individual church organiza.
tons and both civic and socia
clubs. These resulted from a cam.
paign Waged last October by the
room mothers of the school. Al
the children receiving lunches
were investigated and approved
by the Welfare department as are
the children of the Pascagouls
schools.
