Plans Underwa, 10 Widen Highway 80
Across County And Repair Bridges
Widening Work
Would Sturt At
Ocean Springs

Plans are being formulated for
the widening of Highway go
through Jackson county from the
Harrison to the Mobile county
lines. and for the permanent re-
pair of the bridges on the high
way between Pascagoula and
Gautier, Highway Commissioner
John Smith and District Engineer
John Kornrumph indicated here
this week.
Although no definite announce
ment a be made at this time,
Mr.. Kornrumph said over the
long-distance telephone from Hat
tiesburg Wednesday that appli-
cation has been made for federal
aid in reaching a permanent So
luton to the problem of the
bridges on the Pascagoula- Gautier
fill.
Plans would call for the re-
placement of the bridges with a
hydraulic fill to be dredged in to
replace the present badly dete-
riorated structures. The work
would depend largely on the
amount of federal aid that would
be made available for the pro-
ject, it is understood, as the state
highway department does not
have the available funds to car
ry through the proposed project
alone.
Work to Start Soon
Work is also scheduled to be-
gin soon on the widening of High
way 80 through the county, and
the general repair of the high
way shoulders. A state asphalt
plant will be moved in and the
work will begin from the Ocean
Springs end of the highway.
Plans call for the widening OF
the highway approximately two
feet on each side.
Commissioner Smith and Mr..
Kornrumph conferred here with
the county board of supervisors
Tuesday afternoon.
MI. K~ornrumph also pointed
out that the state highway de-
partment filed claim in 1914 with
the government for damage done
to the highway and bridges by
wartime military traffic.
In 1916, he said, the highway
department spent approximately
$40 200 for the driving of new
piling on the Pascagoula-G autier
bridges, and applied for reim-
bursement under the w~ar-traffic
damage claim, which has never
been granted.
The bridges in question are
badly deteriorated. Recently a
hole broke completely through
one, resulting in injuries to a
Motorcyclist and damage to sew
eral automobiles.

P~ascagoula High
Graduates Receive
Diplomas, Awards


The eighty-seven seniors of the
Pascagoula high school filed onto
the field of. the War Memorial
stadium to the strains of the Cor
onation March played by the
high school band for the formal
graduation exercises on Thurs
day evening.
The grey robed graduates took
their seats against a background
of young pines beneath a lighted
flag. The members of the Glee
club were seated on the left of
the seniors while the uniforms of
the band members made a brill
liant spot of color on the right.
Following the invocation by
the Rev. M, S. Varnado. pastor of
the Calvary Baptist church. the
band played the Star Spangled
Banner and Mary Jane Delmas,
onA of the four graduates to fin
ish with distinction. presiding as
mistress of ceremonies explained
the choice of the theme, 1.-The
Building of the Ship" by long
fellow, which the poet is supposed
to have written in Pascagoula in
l849, exactly a century ago.
In outlining the theme Miss
Delmas said. AT that time this
country was in a state of tur-
MOL. confusion and indecision
concerning its course in. a great
crisis, and today we face mo-
mentous problems that can be
answered only with an unwaver-
ing and sincere faith in the ulti-
mate triumph of our government
in preserving democracy. Tonight
we shall see how our ship OF
state was launched, has wealth
cred many storms, and-I should
like to say is now secure.
The story of our country from
1875 to 1900 was presented by
Mary O'Mary who developed the
theme What Anvils Rang" in
blank verse, outlining the estab-
lishment of the government and
the expansion of the country.

Wind your thread on the bobbin
evenly. Loosen upper tension
slightly. Nylon is % elastic

cause a puckered seam If the ten
sion is not eased. Lower tension
should be loosened only IS it is
needed to balance the upper ten
sion.
Press the seams with a warm

would use for rayon. Pressing

You may stitch rayon and wool

His infinite wisdom removed
from among us one Of our Wor-

long and intimate relations held
with him in the faithful discharge

Therefore be it resolved that the

to the sterling qualities of u de-

with the fact that we think of him
as always feeling responsible for
Mt. Moriah Lodge; its members;
and in the right way it must
operate.
Resolved that Brother Hester
not onIv heing a faithful and r

he lived his religion toward his

butte to our departed brother we
confidently expect to clasp hands
again in fraternal grip with him
who has preceded us in answer
inp the Roll Call of the Grand

Resolved that with deep sym

of deceased brother we ex-
press our hope that even so great
a loss to us all may be %overruled
for good by Him who dieth all

Sewing with Nylon Thread

Sewing With Nylon Thread
Nylon sewing thread is espec-
tally good for sewing nylon fab
RIGS. Since nylon thread is strong
and will not break easily, it as
sures long-lasting seams. This
thread is good for sewing cur
tains as it will not mildew or rot
quickly. 1t is made in a variety
of colors.
Before you begin sewing with
nylon thread for the first time,
you should try stitching and make
adjustments on a sample of your
fabric. Be sure the sample is OF
double thickness as you will be

increase Your Chicken Flocks

Larger poultry flocks produce
more economically than small
ones. A flock of 300 or more lay
ing hens is a profitable part of q
balanced farm and home program
on any size farm.
Larger flocks, properly housed,
can be cared for in a little more
time than you need to take care
Of 300 hens.
A larger flock furnishes year
round employment for junior
members of your family and also
provides a steady year round in

Mississippi's major egg produc-
ton problem is the small size of
the average flock. Most f1ocks are
Of poor breeding, have poor hous-
ing and receive poor management.
AS a result of these things. the
small flocks do not produce the
year round. They don't produce
the winter when eggs are
scarce. They flood the market in
the spring, however, with inferior
eggs. This lowers prices and dis

"A hot spot is bad for a freezer
because the higher the room tenn
perature the more the motor musl
run 10 maintain the freezer tenn
perature and the greater the wear
and tear and operating cost. On
the other hand, it is a bad prac-
tice to put a freezer where the
temperature falls below 40 degrees
F.. unless it is specifically design
ed to operate at low tempera-
ture.
"Dampness is to be avoided be-
cause it may damage, not only ex-
posed metal surfaces on a freez-
err, but also the motor, motor sup
ports. and springs. In a damp
place, moisture is likely to con-
dense on the freezer's outer walls
and may even drip to form pools
on the floor. 1t is always a wise
precaution to ground a freezer,
lest a user get an electric shock,
and this is especially important
il a damp location for the freezer
cannot be avoided.
DO not put a freezer tightly
into a niche with walls on 3 sides
because circulation of air is need
ed to carry off the heat gener-
ated."
A further point stressed is the
Importance of strong flooring.
Even an empty freezer is heavy.
An upright freezer puts more
weight per square foot on a floor
than a horizontal one of the same
capacity.
When a family seeks the best
place for a freezer, usual pros
poets are the kitchen, utility room,
basement. and garage. In some
a back porch or shed or
other clubhouse may provide suit
able temperature, dryness, and
flooring.
while the kitchen often seems

convenience can usually
,lay second fiddle to good operat-
ng conditions because the freezer
iced be opened only once or twice
day. A point to consider is that
kitchen or utility room is likely
o be warm, and operation OF a
reezer will add heat.
"If a basement location is con- |
idered, keep the freezer well
part from the furnace Don't
tut a freezer in a basement if
here is a chance of flooding"
Last but not least, adds the ply
icist, if a freezer is to be carried
through doorways or up or down
,tairs, it is a wise family that
.akes measurements before the
'reezer comes home.
