Jew e'is Line 10 Link VoElev With The Kenoi

Inauguration of a Kenai benin sula bus service, which eventual ly will connect the Matanuska Valley with Kenai points, Homer and Seward, was announced this week by Carl Gage of Seward. Bus operations between Seward and Kenai will begin on May 23.
 The through run from Kenai to Homer will not begin until late July, due to the condition of the Sterling Highway.
 Valley residents will not be able to board a bus with a Kenai pe- ninsula destination in mind until the Anchorage-Seward Highway is opened, probably next year. However when that time comes, the Matanuska Bus Lines and the new Kenai company have reached a joint agreement that will per init inter transfer of passengers at Anchorage.
 In addition to the regular Kenai bus run, MT. Gage is planning four scenic tours this summer.

Two Measures Deserve Support

Two bills we're introduced in the state legislature this
week that would bring about by state statute detectives
long advocated by this newspaper.
One bill, by Sen. Frank Smith of Greenwood, would
require each county to hire a central purchasing agent,
through which all of the countys purchases would be chan
neled.
Sen. Smith says that such a requirement would save
Mississippis 81 counties S4-million annually. We believe.
If anything. he is conservative in his estimate. We do know
that in the case of our own county the salary of a compe-
tent purchasing agent could be saved many times over
every year.
In the matter of printing and office supplies alone
with which we are familiarl, a purchasing agent could save
the county several thousand dollars annually by co-ordi-
mating purchasing, establishing a stockroom, buying stand
ard forms and office supplies in larger quantities and is
suing them to various county officers on requisition. Buy
ing in larger quantities would enable a purchasing agent to
put the work out on bid and obtain the minimum price
and affect the maximum savings. By making such a move
on its own initiative the board of supervisors could render
Jackson county a distinct service.
The other is q bill by Sen. B. Fl. Loving of West Point
and calls for the establishment Of a five-man Mississirr;
The Chronicle star the Moss Point advertiser., 1950-02-03

Harrison county representatives in the state legisla-
ture have introduced a bill to establish Gulfport as a state
owned port, to be operated under the supervision of a state
dock commission and to be developed with ~$5-million in
revenue" bonds. We take it for granted that the bonds
would be backed by the full faith and credit of Mississippi
in addition to port revenues for they could not be sold on
the bond market unless that were the case.
News stories tell us that the Mississippi Press Associa-
ton at Its l949 convention advocated the establishment of
Gulfport as a state-opsrated port and the establishment of
a state port commission. Actually. what the Press Associa-
ticn did advocate was tho establishment OF a state port
commission and the development Of Gulf ports.
In view of the many pressing appropriation measures
before the legislature, it is doubtful that the port bill gets
out OF committee. However, if it does come to the floor of
either the House or Senate it will be amended to include
Pascagoula, as the bill should have done in the first place.
As a matter of fact the Harrison county Legislators.
Rep. Bickerstaif and Sen. Meadows. we believe. should
have consulted with our own legislators. Rep. Gautisr and
Sen. Beavers. before introducing their bill. The action
tends to create little goodwill between the two ports and Is
certainly an intimation that GuIfport fears Pascaaoula's
development and potentialnies.
That is probably as it should be, for Pascagoula has
every asset to become a thriving port and is, we believe,
well on its way to being just that. Off to a late start, prog
ress has been fast and stems from the initiative and firm
belief of Jackson countians in the future of their port.
Biekering and fighting, however, between P~ascagoula
and Guifport can serve little purpose and will result in
damaging both ports. Our advice to Gulfport and Harrison
county, and their legislative representatives, is to put their
cards on the table next time and work together for the
progress of both ports.

Let's Build Foundation First

An enabling bill was passed by the state Senate this
week for establishment of a four-year medical school al
Jackson. Cost of the school has been estimated between
~$4,500000 and ~$5,000,000. Kinds county would put up ST.
100000 and the state the remainder. The bill, however,
carries no appropriation, which will have to come in an
other measure.
There is little quarrel over the need of our state for
such d school, but there is, we believe, a definite quarrel
over whether the state, at this time, can afford it.
We are faced with raising the level of our teachers
pay. which is the lowest average in the nation. and equal
izing school facilities and teacherpay between the races.
We need more funds for our state mental institutions. more
welfare funds. funds for a rural road program. and a host
of others. Many of these appropriations are now being re-
duced under estimated needs because of lack of sufficient
state funds. which will result in curtailed operation of
state services and institutions.
We should ask ourselves this question: Will Mississippi
have the funds to support adequately a Class A medical
school anytime within the next few years? We don't be-
lieve that it will, particularly if funds are made available
for other and more vital present needs.
The state medical loan program under which students
can borrow $1,000 on agreement that they return to prac-
tce in a rural area of the state for a specified time, has
been working we'll and filling a definite need. We think
the state should continue this program until we know we
can support a Class A medical school and will not be
saddled with one that will be second-rate because of lack
of adequate funds to supporti it.

Mr.. Wheat became interested
in broom and mop making when
he hung around his brother as
he worked in a laundry which
was near a broom and mop shop.
His introduction to the trade was
on an old foot-treadle machine.
He formerly taught vocational
guidance in a consolidated school
near Bogalusa, but the schools
financial difficulties caused him
to leave. In 1910 he came to In

years and then worked for a
year with a sub-contractor.

members of First Baptist church

Out-Of-Towners
Attend Rug Show

The annual exhibit of the Arts

the Community Activities build

large number of out-of-town Wis
itors among the $50 that register
ed. Both New Orleans and Mo
bile sent many interested guests,
Prichard and Coden, Ala, Pop
larville and Biloxi also being
represented.
The club used three rooms for
the exhibit showing the growth
of the class, which numbers be-
ginners on through to those in
the teacher class.
The class is essentially a train
ing class for teachers. though its
roster contains a number of be-
ginners. Its work is marked by
the subtle use of an unusually
large number of colors with the
result that the rugs justify the
claim of the teacher. Mrs. H. c.
Otis. that the craft is really
pointing with rags. Teachers who
have reached the stage where
they will be semi out to in
struct are Mrs. C. J. Memo. who
elreadY has a large class in Mo-
bile. and Mrs. A. w. Pinkston a
similer one in New Orleans.
Among those exhibiting were
Mesdames Otis. Memo, Pinkston,
r. c. Poliitt, S. B. McIlwaio. Will
