Jungle Queen flour, which had
become the favorite Of thousands
of Southern housewives when 1t
became necessary to halt produc-

ney-Jungle stores.
This welcome announcement was
made to owners and managers dur
ing the 18th national convention
of the Jitney-Jungle Operators As.
ISOLATION held recently in Jackson,
Mississippi.
When it became apparent that
the best of ingredients were nc
longer available, company officials
ordered the production of Jungle

the flour they buy today is of the
same high quality that made il

ago.

hard wheat flour, produced under
rigid laboratory control to insure
uniform quality. The mill, one OF

Engineering College OF the Uni

A seafood supper sponsored by the

Tee of the Pascagoula- Moss Point
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
night.
Pointing out that industrial en-
cheering is in its infancy, DR..
Kurtz expressed the opinion that
the federal budget of $40, 000, 000,-
600 can be met by increasing the
efficiency of industry. The elm
ination of lost motion could make
a tremendous difference in the
country's economy, he said.
Americans have developed
their high standard of living by
1oing things the easier, quicker
way" he said. 1T is reasonable
to suppose that this efficiency
will eventually reduce the work
day to six hours. 1t was first
shortened from IL to 10 and then
to the present eight hours"

COMMUNISTS z

RANGOON Jap Burmese
Communists, occupying the sleepy
village of Payabyo, 20 miles east
Of the rail junction of Pegu, hit
what proved to be the pay dirt.
The Reds faced the threat of a
government attack. They decid-
ed to dig in.
Accident rather than design
guided their picks to a spot where
six years previously Pegu's
wealthiest citizen, u Sein Win,
buried his riches when the jap
anese overran Burma.
The Communists uncovered
two large chests. They pried one
open = and found it crammed
with currency and jewelry.
Government troops arriving at
Payabyo found no sign of the
Communists. But Sein Win, who
accompanied them to investigate
the safety of his hidden treasure,
found plenty of evidence of their
recent presence. The larger of
the two chests, containing gold,
jewelry and currency worth more
than 100000 pounds sterling, had
disappeared. The Communists had
decided that wealth was prefer
able to prestige.
For Sein Win there was some
consolation. The smaller chest
was untouched. 1t contained ap-
proximatelv 10000 pounds ster-
ling. Sein Win, learning the hard
way, has removed its contents
to a place of greater safety = a
