Water Covers
Road On Two
HiwaY Fills
Open Bids For Send
Fills On SO Tuesdoy
! AT Hit5hwuy Office

Wind and rain that developed
into tornado conditions in sew
eral localities whipped water
across two of the highways in
Jackson county Monday.
The fill between Moss Point
and Escatawpa on Highway SO
was covered for some hours and
the fill on Highway 80 between
Pascagoula and Gautler was al
so under water in spots for a
while. Traffic continued to move
through the areas, however.
The water on the Escatawpa
road. sorespot of this section for
years because of its below-high-
tide-level, reached approximately
running board depth before ii re-
coded and officials of Peterzell
and Gelles had made arrange
ments to transport their workers
who live in Escatawpa to their
homes after the night shift Mon
day. Ferrying proved unneces-
sary, however.
Both sections of highway have
been in bad repair for some time
and recurrent efforts have been
made to bring about the remedy
ing of these conditions by the
state highway department.
In recent action the highway
department agreed to repair the
Escatawpa stretch and after adj
vertising for bids twice, the first
time with no answers and the
second with only one bid which
officials said exceeded available
funds. announced that the high
way department itself would do
the necessary work.
Present plsHs cali Cor raising
the existing route six and a half
feet and this win be done by a
sand fill method with bids for
the fill to be opened by depart
ment officials Tuesday. March
90, John Kornrumph. highway en-
gineer, said this week.
The elevation of the roadway
would be done by forcing water
and unstable fill from under
the road bed through holes fill
ed with sand and solid material
would be substituted to the prop
er height.

Citations were among the high
lights Of the annual convention

ISOLATION in Jackson last week.
The larger percentage of the
teachers from this section attend

age of a two-day cessation of
classes in practically all schools
to encourage attendance.
v. G.. Gill, principal of the Pas

Appearing on one of the panels

The House of Delegates of the

Roll Call Funds
Fall Far Short Of
Campaign Goal

With the l949 drive scheduled
to draw to a close this weekend,
only $4267.55 of the $4,000 coun-
ty quota has been reported in the
annual Roll Call of the Red Cross,
Paul Fry, publicity chairman, an
nounced this week.
The chairmen of the various dis
tricts and divisions met at the
Red Cross office Monday night
to devise a more intensive COW
erage of the remaining territory
in the county in an effort to reach
the goal. The meeting was pre-
sided over by w. Ed Virgins,
drive chairman.
Two, divisions, however, have
gone over the top and made COM
plete reports exceeding their
quotas last week. They were the
Moss Point Mill of the Interna-
tional Paper Company under w.
H. Harris, which raised $1,011.50
during the drive and the colored
division which, through DR.. T. J.
Barefield Pendleton, chairman,
reported $500.
No quotas were set for the ru-
raj sections and this week sew
eral of these locations made re-
ports, some still incomplete. For
the most part only partial reports
were made earlier this week as
ehairmen bent every effort to
give a substantial lift to their
collections before closing the
campaign.
Reporting were residential Sec
ton, SIS reported by the Arts and
Crafts club with six other clubs
still to report; faculty of the Pas
.cagoula city schools, $40; Ocean
Springs, incomplete, 1856 40; Kre-
ole, incomplete, $84.78; business

mately half covered, $595; small

Bulldozer List
Shows Hike After
Demonstrations

A first hand view of the coun-
ty-owned bulldozer in action last
Wednesday and Thursday proved
a stimulus to the county pastur-
age program and the waiting
list to have land made arabic
took a swift leap this week to SO
applications representing from
one to 20 acres each, according
to A. j. Franklin, county agent.
The bulldozer initiated the
stumping and clearing program
on the heels of the two demon
STATIONS, making its working
debut in Beat 5 near Vancleave.
Among the first to secure the
services of the bulldozer was
Shirley Hamilton who had five
acres cleared on his property just
above Vancleave. Lewis Tootle
of the same area has also had
five acres cleared.
One of the demonstrations was
held on land owned by Robert
Holden during which about five
acres were cleared and later the
bulldozer completed the job by
stumping three additional acres,
Mr.. Franklin said.
The big machine will be moved
into Beat One next week where
part of the land on the waiting
list will be cleared before the
bulldozer is moved into another
beat.
I'VE r trying to move the
bulldozer around SO that those
areas with the biggest acreage
to be cleared will have its serv-
ices first" Mr.. Franklin explain
ed, "and SO that all beats will be
impartially served. The bplldozer
will then make a return trip to
complete engagements"
Applications for the bulldozer
may be made through Mr.. Frank
lin at the agriculture office in
Pascagoula or cash deposits of SIS

Mobile Blood Unit
To Be In County,
First Week In May

The Red Cross mobile blood
unit will be in Jackson county
the first week in May as the ini-
tial step in the county blood bank
program, according to Gus Burle-
son and Mrs. Winifred Black of
the regional Red Cross office in
Atlanta VINO were in Pascagoula
Monday,
The announcement was made
by Brock Savell and B. NJ. Good
win, chairman and publicity chair
man, respectively, of the blood
program of the Lions club which
will be in charge of donations.
The blood will be stored in a
bank purchased by the Kiwanis
club and placed at the Jackson
county hospital.
An original group of 1000
pledges for donation of a pint of
blood will be necessary to start
off the program and from that
number 400 will be taken during
the first year, Mr.. Goodwin ex-
planned. The mobile unit will Wis
1t the county four times each year
with an objective of 100 pints of
blood or each visit.
The first headquarters for do
nations will be in the sub-story
of the First Methodist church of
Paseagoula with Mrs. E. L. Brant-
ley as director of the center, he
announced. On subsequent visits
the unit will be taken to such
places as the paper mill, the ship
yard and rural sections of the
county.
Our idea is to take the unit to
the people instead of bringing
the people to the unit" Mr.. Good
win declared.
The Rev. Harlan Hilbun has
been appointed recruit chairman
by the Lions club and plans to
hold an educational class for re-
eruiters at an early date. Perry
Cline. director of public educa-
ton for this Red Cross region,
will be in the county April IL to
provide necessary information
and instructions as to how to get
the program underway.
