The Fishing Industry

Two events have taken place recently that mean much
to the future of Jackson county and the entire Gulf Coast
from Florida to Texas.
The first event was an Act giving Congress- consent to
an agreement between the five states bordering on the
Gulf setting up uniform laws governing commercial fish
ing and %shrimping in Gulf waters over which these states
exercise control. Heretofore, restrictive and spite" leg
islation has hampered the free operation of commercial
fishermen who make their livings from Gulf tidal waters.
The pact or agreement will, of course, have to be au-
thorized by each of the state legislatures. Three states
have already passed this necessary legislation. One other,
Texas, is expected to act during the present session of its
legislature. Mississippi will act at the 1850 session of its
legislature.
This action can be a tremendous stride forward for our
fishermen and fishing industry, and bring order out of the
present chaos.
of Representatives of the Colmer-T Thompson bill which
would transfer to the Fish and Wildlife Service the govern
ment-owned fishing trawlers Alaska and Oregon for use
in research and development of the unknown fishing
grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. The bill now must pass the
Senate and indications are that it will.
This will not only benefit Mississippi, but the entire
Gulf Coast region.
West Coast fishermen have called the Gulf the poten-
tal fish bowl OF the world" It's resources are so vast that
they stagger the imagination. The assignment of these
two government-owned fishing vessels for exploratory
work in the Gulf can well be the factor that could make the
fishing industry the Gulf Coasts most important asset.
Development of these natural resources is, as we have.
often pointed out, progressing along natural lines using
what God gave us for the benefit of our people. 1t is by
far the most healthy economic progress that we could
achieve.

Of writing, the worst is over. Doug

at last reports was doing very
well.
However, a patient is regard

state for at least three days fol-

tent for at least that long.
ut is understandable why the
operation is expensive.
I'VE will not be allowed to see
him for about 10 days, and then
for only a few minutes, as it is
imperative that he be kept
from crying, due TO the innumer-
able stitches in the heart and va
rious parts of the chest. In some
cases parents are kept from the
children for much longer, If it
seems advisable.
Things certainly happened
fast. We first took him to the
hospital Wednesday. Owing to
his crying and general attitude,
the tests were not finished until
Thursday.
Obstruction"
at turned out that although
he was classified as a Simple
blue baby" there was some sort
of obstruction which made it
seem advisable that DR.. Blalock
do the operation in person rather
than intrust it to one of the OPP
Grating surgeons. And DR.. Bla-
lock was leaving town for a lee
ture tour Friday afternoon which
would mean at least's a weeks
delay.

diately and the operation per-
formed Friday morning and my
wife, daughter and ! were sitting
in the waiting room from z a. m.
to 5 p. m. We did not get much
news but what we did get was
good and we we're allowed a short
glimpse of him in the oxygen
tent after the operation. He was
a pitiful sight.
God grant that the results JUS
tify his ordeal, although he is
mercifully unaware of most of it.
