Noted Visitor AT
TougaIoo College

Tougaloo College will have as
it's guest, February IL, II, and
13, distinguished visitor from
Scotland, Mr. Donald Grant, who
is known throughout the British
Empire as an athlete and lee
turer In his year of study at
the University of Edinburgh, Mr..
Harold G. Warren, nav president
of Tougaloo College, formed a
close friendship with Mr.. Grant,
who in his student days was for
three successive years amateur
golf champion of Scotland Mr..
Grant is still a brilliant golfer,
who plays with some of the top
ranking stars in the United States
when visiting this country.
Mr.. Grant makes occasional
trips to America, lecturing on
international affairs in colleges
and universities of Canada and
the United States, under the au-
spices of the Institute of Inter-
national Education Much of his
early life was spent in interna-
tional student leadership, with
headquarters in Geneva and COW
ering the British Isles, Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand. He
was active in the Friends re-
construction work in Europe af-
ter the first World War. During
the second World War, he was a
popular speaker to British sold
iers everywhere, under the auspi-
ces of the British Ministry of
Information.
Mr.. Grant is stimulating
speaker, particularly effective in
the give-and- of forum dis
cussions. During his visit with
President and Mrs. Warren, he
will lecture at the college, parti-
cipate in round table discussions,
and speak at the Chapel Ser
vice on Sunday morning. His
handling of the RussiOn problem
the general situation in Europe
and in Asia, is based upon wide
travel and first-hand insight. His
return on successive visits to
leading universities and colleges
of our country is evidence of his
effectiveness as a campus lee
turer. Having completed an itin-
erary among colleges in the North
and Northwest, Mr., Grant comes
here directly from a series of
appearances at the University of
California and the University of
Texas.

..PASCAG OULA..

BY Maude Tanlunson

Resolved not 10 stay resolved
Do they blow whistles and
shoot off guns and fireworks with
the arrival of the New Year in
sPascagoula? I've never heard even
an automobile horn since moving
to the city a few years ago. But
then perhaps the din doesn't pen
citrate to l4th street. Anyway if
I'm awake at IL o'clock l am go
ing to resolve not to be resolute
about keeping any of the reforms
that the creepy feeling that comes
at that eerie hour browbeats me
into formulating. OF course III
miss the reckless feeling that
comes when one breaks a New
Years resolution, but my con-
science will be easier.
The Years Like Il Magic Skin
With the coming of each New
Year, ] am reminded OF Balzae's
Magic Skin" You remember, it
would shrink with each wish of
it sowner who would pay with
his life when the last one was full
filled and the skin had shrink
to extinction. Life is a magic skin
Only we have no power to stop
its shrinkage, even by refraining
from wishing and so, each day
takes something away from our
span of life. The only thing that
we can do is to leave some mem
DRY of ourselves behind us so that
occasionally, like Maeterlink's
folks that have gone before. we
may come out of our cottages and
sit for a moment in the sunshine.
when some mortal thinks of US.
Gloomy thought for the New
Year. is it not? But timely.

AS WI SEE 1T THIS WEEK
at the
Pascagoula- Moss Point Bank
TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS:

IL OOh fhlEFNDo ANIL 0OolOhlchDf
We pause to consider the end of another year. Review
of accomplishments by Jackson County citizens reveals the
fact that much has been done.
The pasture development program in our rural areas is
on its way. Reforestation of cutover lands is being accomp-
isned on a large scale by our major lumber and pulpwood
interests. Many of our small farmers and land owners viii
convert surplus acreage into tree farms with the use of two
mechanical tree planters furnished them by our bank. Our
port development program has witnessed several, steamships
which came here TO load crossties for Belgium. The tuna fish
promotion has taken hold and 1850 should see at least one of
these plants in operation. Strong and definite interests on
the part Of major oil companies should keep us on our toes
ready to seize and accomplish the first opportunity that will
make us Mississippis oil port.
The continued, steady twenty-four hour shifts at the paper
mill, new contracts at ingalls,, expanded tWo-shift operations
at the wooden mill, a new industry at Ocean Springs, the sea-
sonai payroll lifts given by our fishmeal companies, plus the
daily operation of numerous smaller industries in our County
will cause our economic condition to take an upward swing,
We call on each and every citizen to cast his thinking and
action into one mold, and the collective efforts in the right
direction will mean much for all of us and for those who
come after us.
