Social Hygiene Day
Observed BY Health
Department Here

Social Hygiene Day was OBJ
served by the Jackson County
Health Department on Wednes-
day with a total of 80 persons
being given blood tests.
A movie was shown illustrat-
ing the menace of veneral di-
seases to national health and
strength and the Social Hygiene
observances here and in other
countries.
A striking comparison was the
rate of veneral diseases in Den
mark. Norway and Sweden where
the diseases are openly discussed
and combatted with a resultan'
1000 cases on record as compar.
ed to New York with approx
mately the same area and 5O,00t
reported cases.
The infection from veneral di
seases in Jackson county Is de
finitely on the wane. DR., Hedmel
director of the Health depart
ment, said. This in part is ac'
credited to the work of j. L
Rogers, VD investigator with tn
Health department.
An estimate by the Health de
partment of infection in Jackson
county places the possible in
lection at 6 out of every 1000.

Local Men Attend
PhilCo Convention

The PHILCO convention, which
was held at the Roosevelt Hotel
in New Orleans on January 81,
was attended by Ed Mays and
Ralph Davis of Hills Furniture
Store of Moss Point.
The new 1949 line of PHILCO
refrigerators, freezers, air-condi-
tioning units, radios and televi-
sion sets were shown to the 500
visiting dealers.
The PHILCO refrigerator ex-
hibit was featured by a full size
2 cubic feet box, with a freezer
locker occupying space all the
way across the top, at a price APP
proximately $4,000 under the
market. The line also includes
boxes up to IL cubic feet and
priced in proportion.
The following size freezers
were also shown: a cubic feet, 8
cubic feet, Is cubic feet and 80
cubic feet. The sensationally
priced 8 cubic foot freezer chest,
at only $269.50, really stole the
show" according to Mr.. Mays.
AN interesting feature of the
10 cubic foot freezer" continued
Mr.. Mays, sis the fact that it
only takes up the floor space of
an ordinary 8 cubic foot refrig-
orator" Advertisement

Electric Device Invented, Patented
BY Local Man is Now Being Marketed

John Daley of Moss Point IS
an electrician at heart but dur
ing the past several years he has
branched out into other business.
Lately he returned to his first
love and thereby hangs an
invention.
The inventions, all properly
patented, are SO simple after an
explanation that they r star
thing.
One is a contact spacer SHIN
for simple repair to burned out
lights on autos, trucks, trailers
and other vehicles.
Often when these lights do not
burn it is because of a weak CON
tact spring, which is stuck out
of range of contact with the met
al base of the bulb.
The Daley contact spacer SHIN
is a simple device of soft rubber
with a contact point on each side
which can be inserted in the lamp
socket and will take up from l-l6
to 3-16 of an inch of loose space
and form a firm contact for elec-i
tricity from the socket to the
bulb.
The second is a contact re-
placement repair kit for making
permanent repairs to light sock
cts on autos, trucks, trailers, bus
es. other vehicles or signal lamps
The ordinary vehicle lamp
socket has a wire with contact
made on the end of the wire in
side the socket, a contact tension
spring and two paper or fibre
washers. Due to water and dirt
entering the socket, these insu-
lating sockets often collapse, the
spring rusts, sticks or loses its
tension, and the contact system
becomes useless and a new lamp
necessary.
The Daley contact repair kit
eliminates this by enabling sim
PIC lCPdilS W De ilidQG W tiiN
lamp, and at the same time gives
a waterproof seal at the base of
the lamp. This is done with a
length of electric wire, and a
contact point surrounded by rub
Der washers.
Mr.. Daley is manufacturing
the devices at his warehouse on
Telephone Road, employing four
persons at present. In the near
future he hopes to obtain power
punches and other machinery
which will step up the production
and increase employment.
First sale of the kits was made
recently to the Central Electric
Co., of Hattiesburg, which will
market them in sections of three
states. The first order was for
1000 of the kits.

dia Seminary, st. Louis, in l948

eran church Tuesday at 1880 pm.

Ton OF Silver
To Meet Payroll
OF Wooden Mill

There will be a pay off with q
new angle at the Peterzell- Gelles
Wooden Mill on Tuesday, Feb
ruary 7, when the company plans
to pay the employees with silver
dollars for their regular pay per.
iod.
So local and county tradesmen
are forewarned that when q
flood of $4,000 silver dollars are
exchanged for various articles
throughout the shopping areas
that the Wooden Mill was the
source of the silver pieces.
Approximately $4,000 silver
dollars. which are being obtain
ed by a local bank, will be neces-
sary to meet the payroll, COM
3any officials estimate.
The total payroll will weigh
nearly d ton which will be paid
out to employees in especially
made bags at ceremonies to be
held at the Mill on Tuesday al
$3.50 pm. Each employee will
receive his or her pay in a small
especially made bag stamped on
the outside. Silver S Day, Feb
-uary 7, l949. Peterzell-G elles.
Inc, Pascagoula.
There are several features to
the Silver Dollar day. First
imagine carrying ones pay home
IN a bag full of silver dollars.
Then imagine the grocer's sur
prise when the marketer pays
for her purchases with silver dol
lars. One might say the gro
ceries will be worth their weight
in silver.
The idea of paying the en-
ployees with silver dollars orig
mated with Wooden Mill officials,
but it will offer concrete evidence
Of the revenue which this Jack
son county industry puts into
the county each pay period. The
silver dollars, which might fig
uratively be called marked mon
ey, will serve to demonstrate to
the public and the merchants the
size, value and the local spend
ing of the payroll of this local
industry.
Special guards will transport
the dollars to the mill, but while
they are being put back into cir
culation, Jingle, Jangle, Jingle"
be the adopted theme song
of Jackson County.
