Rolond Odom Home
Entirely Destroyed
By Fire Tuesday

The home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Roland B. Odom near Eastside
burned to the ground on Tuesday
evening about $50 p. m. and was
reported a complete loss by the
Fire Department of Pascagoula.
Mr.. and Mrs. Odom and family
and the nearby neighbors were
at church when the fire started
and it had gained considerable
Roadway before the fire depart
ment was notified. 1t is thought
to have originated from an iron.
Firemen were handicapped in
their efforts because of the lack
of a water supply. About a 1000
feet of hose were used to get wa
ter from the Wooden mill. fire
men said.
The house next door, owned
by ]. L. Clark was damaged to
the extent of about 500 it was
estimated, but the firemen were
able to save the dwelling al
though it was quite close to the
Odom house.
The Odom home and its entire
furnishings and all of their per-
sonal property were completely
destroyed. none of which was COW
cred by insurance.
Contributions for the family are
being received by Mrs. George
Farragut and the Rev. Harvey L.
Smith and anyone wishing to
make a contribution of anything
may contact either of these.
Joann Odom, 10 year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Odom. who
with the rest of her family lost
everything feels her losses per-
haps even more deeply, for she
lost her cherished bicycle. All of
her brief years she had longed
for a bicycle and this past Christ
mas her wishes came true to van
ish into smoke.
Perhaps someone has a dis
carded or outgrown bicycle which
could be donated to bring a ray
of happiness to this child.

Biloxi Mayor Is
Guest Speaker
AT Joint Meeiinq

The inadequate finances avail
able and the general trials and
tribulations involved in running
a small city was the subject of a
talk by G.. B. Cousins, mayor of
Biloxi, at a joint meeting of the
Pascagoula Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs Wednesday at the Country
club.
Mayor Cousins, who was intro
duced by Program Chairman w.
Ed Virgins, said that virtually
every city in the United States,
large and small, is faced with the
problem of mounting costs and
demands for public service and
inadequate tax revenues to meet
the demands.
THE taxpayer receives more
benefit from his municipal tax
dollar than any other he pays"
Mayor Cousins said.
Mayor Cousins pointed out that
last year, for the first time in
history, Mississippi municipali-
ties received aid from the state.
"We used ours for badly need
ed street repairs and for street
maintenance and repair equip
ment," he said. I'VE had virtual
ly no maintenance equipment
prior to that"
He used charts to illustrate the
division of the tax dollar, and to
show the city's bonded debt and
it's service requirements. Only
29.5 cents out of every tax dollar
actually goes to run the city, he
said.
He also said that approximately
80 1f3 of the Biloxi property is
owned by the federal government
for which they pay no direct or
lieu taxes. The city. however,
must furnish general municipal
services to the armed service per-
sonnet.
The two hurricanes in l947 and
1948 did severe damage to streets
and bridges in Biloxi. he said, but
despite the cost of these repairs
the city has paid S100.0 900 annual
ly for the past four years on re-
ducing its bonded debt.
Following the talk by Mayor
Cousins a motion picture on fish
canning was shown by Edward
David of Astoria, Ore, who is
president of the Delmar Packing
Co., and is in Pascagoula investi-
eating the possibility of locating
a tuna canning plant here.
Visiting Rotarians included T.
L. DeLashmet. Jr., John F. Brock,
Jack Turner and Edward A. Kha-
vat of the Moss Point club. Visi-
tors included L. S. Biaer of Port
land, Ore. guest of Hermes F.
