Mrs. Frank Taylor. Forty-two years

farming two miles west of the town.
Taylor was his neighbor when Tay-
lor homesteaded there early in the
present century. The two had known
each other in Kansas before Parker
came to Montana about 1900, six
years before Taylor first came to
Laurel. Mrs. Parker is a daughter
of the late Mr.. Mason.

months visit on the Pacific coast. In
Chehalis, Wash, they visited his sis

Nice reports that the fruit crops in
the area he saw will be particularly
large this year. One of his friends
took 240 tons of strawberries from
n patch. He also reports that the
apricots near Yakima are unusually
good because of the lack of rains
which would have damaged them.
Fishing was very poor, he said. The
Van Nices also visited Lewis and
Clark caverns, Ghinko national park
of petrified trees and Mount Rainier
national park. They say the roads
are wonderful.

Federal Aid To Education

1t appears now that action on the federal aid to educa-
ton bill will not be finally taken at this session of Congress
because of the nationwide controversy that has developed
over the extension or denial of these funds to parochial or
UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
As a result of this controversy, other opposition to
the general federal aid program has arisen, based principal
ly on the premise that it would be an act of federal "pater-
nalism," with all the dark and dire predictions that such
aid would be a step towards the Hitter Mussolini-Stalin
pattern of control of education and teaching that leads to
a Communist or Facist state.
Opposition to the federal aid program on the above is
sues is. We believe, completely wrong. 1t is tied to the
hysteria that sees a communist lurking in every dark
corner, or labels as a foreign ism any thought that de-
viates from the accepted pattern.
A Spring Hill College educator remarked in an address
recently that the only way to fight communism is with
a better way of life" Those are true words. Slums, in
adequate living standards and lack of opportunities are
fertile ground for the seeds of Communism. It is there
that they grow and thrive.
Education is one factor, and a primary one, that can
and will lead to a better way of life by opening greater
fields of opportunity to a greater mass of people. The
greater the field of opportunity for our own people the
more firm our bulwark against communism or any other
ism.
1t then stands to reason, we believe, that not only the
communities and the states, but also the federal govern
ment, has a direct obligation to furnish the broadcast pos
sible educational program for all of our youth.
Many states, including our own Mississippi, need this
federal aid, and are entitled to it, for a variety of reasons.
Take our own state for example. Our annual expendi-
ture for education, based on our per capita wealth, is one
of the highest in the nation. However, this same expendi-
ture when compared to annual expenditure of the AZ other
states ranks well down towards the bottom of the list.
Mississippis natural resources are largely exploited by
outside capital. Our oil is shipped out of the state. Mills
that process our timber are owned by stockholders in vir-
tually all of the states of the union. Profits realized from
this harvest goes to create wealth and income which is tax
ed in other states and by the federal government. 1t seems
reasonable to us that our state should expect some return
of this revenue to aid in programs vital to the welfare of
our people.
Insofar as federal control goes, Pascagoula and Moss
Point have had federal aid to education for a number of
years and the only difference it has made to us is that we
have as a result been given probably the best school systems
in the state.

Thanks For A Good Job

It's a pleasure these days to drive across the L & N
railroad crossings in Pascagoula, and compare the smooth
trip with the former teeth-rattling, spring-breaking journey.
AT the request of the city a major repair job was under
taken by the L N, and at a considerable expenditure of
money it is almost completed. It was, of course, a much
needed improvement, but it could also have been under
taken in a half-hearted way, been given a lick and promise
and permanent repairs left to another day.
That wasn't the case. Permanent repairs were plan
ned and a good job was done, for which we extend our app
probation to the railroad.

Pascagoula is located nine miles
from deep Gulf water, and when
you deal with big shipping deep
waters something you have to
have.
So Pascagoula went to work.
Big Appropriation Helped
A $250,000 appropriation from
the Legislature got the harbor-
improvement ball rolling. Jack
son county approved a bond issue
of $780, 900. And today this city
has a channel to the Gulf with a
minimum depth of 81 feet. In adj
dition to this, there's a turning
basin with a depth of 40 feet,
providing large craft an easy ap-
proach and departure to and from
the WharVes.
In dredging the turning basin,
much submarginal property on
the west side of the harbor was
reclaimed and at present there
are two and one-half miles of
harbor property available for in
dustrial sites. Meantime, the
county has purchased a dredge
of its own, to be delivered Aug.
|, for maintaining this waterfront
and upkeep of the beaches. 1t will
have a working depth of up to 80
feet.
Proposed extension of the city
docks will give Pascagoula a
wharf approximately 1000 feet
long, ample for the berthing of
two cargo vessels at the same
time. Plans call for the construc-
ton of a warehouse of approx
mately 10000 square feet at the
south end of the Port Commits
sion property. The north end is
now under lease to Lacoste, Inc,
in connection with the export of
railroad ties to Belgium. These
ties are made of blackjack" oak,
a poor grade of timber never be-
fore utilized in this country.
Above the Pascagoula bridges,
the river has a minimum depth of
10 feet for IL miles, or to Moss
Point. The dredging of this would
open up much more property for
waterfront industrial develop
ment, Congress has authorized
construction of the Robinson Lake
cutoff at Moss Point to take out
a bend in the river and create
two to three more miles of front
age. This appropriation, however,
has not been approved.
But back to the tuna. A section
of the land on the west bank of
the river reclaimed during harbor
dredging operations would be
used as the site for the proposed
canneries. Approximately 1000
feet, extending from the LIN
tracks south would be set aside
for this purpose. The Port Com
