Dr.. r. 6. EIey

| nominate Dr. r. c. Eley as
"Tops in Our Town" because he
really deserves the title. He not
only deserves it but he has lived
up to it.
He answers every call, night or
day, hot or cold, over good or
muddy roads to white or black
and comes in with a smile that
almost cures.
Never in a hurry, he always
has time to listen to you. In his
kindly advice he always gives you
the assurance of his ability to help
you.
Distance never keeps this faith
full doctor from any one w h o
needs him. When called he never
asks if the money is ready. If he
gets the pay, OK. If he does not
he will smile and say, Call me
if you need me-"
The only regret that we, as
Jackson county residents, h e
is that we cannot add a good
many more years to DR.. Eley's al
ready far-spent, active life as a
good, kind, country doctor.
This is a true tribute to DR..
Eley.

lsi Day In Action
Still In Memory
Especial to the Chronicle)

With the First Cavalry Divi-
sion in Korea - Delayed -
Nearly every man fighting in
Korea has at least one particu-
lar experience that will stick
with him and he will remember
forever.
For most of the men. il will
be the first day they were in
action. That's the way il is with
Sgt. William P. Dockens. son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry L. Dock
ems. 935 Parsley ST.. Pascagoula.
Mississippi.
Dockens is leader of rifle
squad of the 5th Cavalry Regi-
ment and has been in Korea
since July 18, at which time he
made an assault landing with
his outfit to join in the fight
against the invading North
Koreans.
Most of us were green to
combat when they put us on the
line July 22," Doekens began.
1--WE went into position on a
steep hillside overlooking the
town of Yongdong.
THAT afternoon about $50
the Reds attacked. No one
seemed to know what to do.
Our ration and supply route
was cut off and we began get
ting men wounded. The enemy
had us zeroed in with his NOR
tars and we really had job
getting those wounded men
down that hillside without get
ting them killed.
Everyone left their positions
and got scattered but we re-
grouped at the bottom of the
hill and repulsed the attack. We
got our share of North Koreans
that day too" he concluded.
Later, during action near
Weegwan. Sgt. Dockens was
wounded in the arm by an enc
my hand grenade during his
units third attempt to take Hill
203. which was successful. He
spent two months in an army
hospital in Japan before return
ing TO DUTY.
Sgt Dockens entered tn e
army in November, 1945, short
ly after the end of World War
II. He received his basic train
ing at Fort Bragg, N. c., with
the l1th Field Artillery bat
talon.
Prior to entering the army, he
was student of Moss Point
high school. He plans to make
the army a career.

Snokebitten Boy
Saved By Buddy

Robert Hunt, 15-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. R. C. Hunt of
Gautier, was bitten on the foot
Friday afternoon by a water
moccasin on the beach near
Graveline bayou.
The quick thinking and action
of Frank Cook, Biloxi, who was
on the scene, is credited by
physicians with saving the life
of the boy.
Young Cook Immediately cut
the flesh around the bite and
sucked out the poison. Hunt
was rushed to County Hospital
where he was still hospitalized

With Hunt at the time were

be based the price and paid in Mississippi and
that in Louisiana.
1t would and should cheaper gas rates for Mis-
sssippi industries
AS example:
If the United Gas pipeline Baskerville is operated
at 800 of capacity Mobile and Pensacola industres and
consumers are being supplied with 80mon cubic feet of
Mississippi gas daily.
If this gas were being supplied from Louisiana state
would 81 040 daily at the LouiSi rate
of 3 mills 1t $400 daily at the Mississippi
rate of approximately five mills. That's difference of
$640 daily or 1898 900 annually right savings for
anybodys ledger
But Mssissippians don't get the benefits.
Again we ask what's the answer?
Nothing can be done by Jackson countians. Nothing
can be done by any individual or group of citizens
The only possible answer lies with the governor and
the state legislature.
The problem should have been studied and action
taken on a state level long ago, but not.
The time is short and continued delay may we'll
deliver the death blow any hopes Mississippi might have
to gain the real benefits which the and
its citizens rightfully entitled
The problem is not for political demagogue

work irreparable damage to the state.
We want United Gas and want Gulf Oil and all the
other operating companies Our of them

benefts-in industries and jobs-some of the

Present indications underline the fact that they not
plan to.
The people of Mississippi then certainly look only
to their elected political leaders for the solution.
The can't be arrived at in a day a week. 1t
will take calm, unbiased and careful study by who
know what they are doing.
We believe legislative committee of capable men
should be named study this problem and report back
the regular 1852 legislative session If necessary
special session of the legislature should be called without
delay
The committee should study actions taken by Louis
lana and Texas and problems peculiar to state
Louisiana and Texas have deep oil and gas
So has Mississippi Louisiana and Texas have heavy indus
