Plea For Homes
For Three Girls
Twenty-eight applications
poured into the Jackson County
Department of Public Welfare as
the result of an appeal for fos
ter horuea for three little girls,
I published recently. Miss Rosa M
Cole, assistant child welfare
j worker, revealed this week.
There were telephone calls, let
| ters and personal visits. Some
of the applicants were former
foster parents, some were already
j under study as foster home par
I ents, a few had adopted chii
; (Iren and wished another, sever
ai had applications in child plac
ing agencies and had not suc
ceeded in getting a child. A few
, thought the children were in the
| department offices and they could
! look them over and decide
i whether or not to take them.
Of the 28 applicants, 23 were
| interested only in adoption or
some type of care other than
; (oster hoarding care. Five wish
1 ad to board the children and
1 studies are being made and sub
mitted to the Division of Child

County Tax Rate
Shows General
Rise This Year
Every Jackson County land
owner will pay increased taxes
this year, the amount of the in
crease ranging from one to 14
mills, depending on the school
district in which the property
lies. The fact is brought out in
a legal advertisement in another
section of this newspaper.
In Pascagoula, the municipal
tax rate is 16 mills against this
year, with 6 mills for general ex
penses, 2 mills for improvements,
one mill for the library and the
same amount for garbage and
sanitation, and 6 mills for bond
redemption and retirement.
Biggest increase in the county
is in the Escatawpa school dis
trict in beats 1 and 2, where there
is an increase of 14 mills. The
lowest is in the Daisy-Vestry dis
trict in Beat 5 where the increase
is one null. The school tax rep
resents 20 mills in each case, how •
ever. '
The highest rate in the county
is in the Escatawpa school dis
trict in Beat 1 with 55% mills and
the lowest Inside the municipal
ity of Moss Point with 17% mills.
The greatest overall increase is
shown in Beat 1 also and the low
est in Beat 5, with 26 and 15
mills, respectively.
The largest general increase
was in the county tax for gener
al purposes whien went up 4 mills
in most cases to 12% mills. In
side the municipalities and in
scattered other cases, the raise
was only 2 mills
New School Health
Program Planned
For Near Future
Under a new school health pro
gram to be inaugurated by the
Jackson County Health Depart
ment in the county school system
in the near future, the method of
examining children will be
changed, Dr. Andrew Hedmeg,
director of the county depart
ment, tyvealed this week. The
program was planned after con
ferences with school authorities
and representatives of the State
Board of Health and the State
Department of Education. Dr.
Lenore Badja has recently been
assigned to the coast for this
work in Jackson and Harrison
counties.
The mass examination of cer
tain specified grades or groups
will be entirely discontinued, he
said.
“Past experience has shown
that this only results in the large
volume of school records, which,
due to our limited nursing staff
here in Jackson County or in
any other health department,
have never been followed up ade
quately. Also a very large per
centage of the children seen un
der the old system were being
taken caie of by their own fam
ily doctors and dentists, and
needed no attention at these
clinics’’ he declared.
The proposed plan is to see
only children by special referral
by teacher, the nurse, P. T. A.,
or any one noticing some appar
ent physical defect. The chil
dren will be seen by appoint
ment only and the parent must
be present at the examination.
This will enable better follow-up
care of the cases, he said.
In cases where correction can
not be accomplished without out
side assistance, arrangements will
be made to provide it through
the 3chool correction program.
Plans are also underway for ob
taining approved special equip
ment 'or mass testing of hearing
and vision.
The Cental Clinic will be con
tinued. Dr. Hedmeg declared.
HEW HEALTH ASSISTANT
Dr. Lenore Bajda, graduate of
Woman’s Medical College of
Pennsy.vania, has recently been
assigned to the coastal area to
assist in the general health de
partment work in both Jackson
and Harrison counties, Dr. An
drew J. Hedmeg, department di
rector for these counties, an
nounced. Following her intern
ship, Dr. Bajda received special
training in pediatrics at the Gal
linger Memorial hospital in
Washington. She will be assign
ed to maternal snd infant hy
giene clinics in both counties and
will assist in the inauguration
of the school health program in
both counties. Dr. Hedmeg said.
Wisconsin is known as the
Badger State.

warned this week l " lef of
Jolice J. E. Shirley t'gj^ cam
paign to reduce tra Eola
tions in the city is underway and
were auvised to notice and ob
serve traffic signs throughout
the city.
“There is no excuse for the
continuing violations of stop
signs and speed laws,” Mr. Shir
ley said, "There are plenty of
warning signs and officers in
this department have been in
structed not to accept excuses as
liberally as they have in the
past.”
Mr. Shirley said particular at

Business Firms
Join In Upping
Use Oi Air Mail
Business firms of Pascagoula
and Mo.-s Point are joining in
the program of the Post Office
Department to stimulate the vol
ume during National Air Mail
Week, October 27 to November
2.
Mayor Gregory Wood and
Mayor J. R. Watts of Pascagoula
have issued joint proclamations
calling on the people to use the
new service and lower rates
which are designed to promote
business generally and to bind
the country into a speedier com
munication unit.
Inauguration of the new five
cent United States flag rate Oc
tober 1 brought a sharp rise in
air rmv'l volume. Rapid air mail
service, offered lor the first time
at a low postage rate, should
stimulate commerce, business
leaders believe. For that reason
they are encouraging large air
mailings during the nation-wide
air mail promotion week.
“We have long advocated low
er air mail rates,” said H. F. Gau
tier, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, “believing that rapid
service between customers and
manufacturers and distributors
would foster commerce.
“A pioneer in the construction
of airports—Jackson county pro
vided the first publicly owned
airport in the state—we look
confidently to a time when reg
ular air transport and mail plan
es will be landing at the now
large lield which the county has
acqui.ed.
“The Post Office Department
has taken a leaf from the book
of good business, reducing the
rate from 8 to 5 cents an ounce
and simultaneously ottering bet
ter and faster service,” Mr. Gau
tier continued. “A lower price
requires one thing to succeed—
larger volume.
Most air-mail is dispatched on
night planes, arriving at destina
tions in time for the next day’s
business From two to four days
are saved for an added cost of
3 cents ever the ordinary rate,
and this time factor will save
mail patrons many thousands of
dollars, it was said.
Following is the proclamation
issued by the mayors of Moss
Point and Pascagoula:
"Whereas, the Post Office De
partment at Washington is spon
soring National Air Mail Week
from October 27 to November
2, 1946, and,
"Whereas, the development of
airmail is and has been of great
importance to the business con
cerns and people of Pascagoula
and Moss Point, and
“Whereas, we believe our citi
zens should take an active in
terest in the future development
of air mail and the promotion
of better airport facilities,
“Now, therefore, I, E. G. Wood,
Mayor of the City of Moss Point,
and I, J. R. Watts, Mayor of the
City of Pascagoula, do hereby'
designate the week of October
20, November 2 as Air Mail
Week and call upon our people;
to make proper observance by
liberally patronizing the air mail
and otherwise evidencing their
appreciation of the efforts of the
Post Office Department of pro
viding this speedier and cheaper
service.”
In Babylonian and related so
cieties, the physician was gener
ally a priest, whose prime func
tion it was to interpret omens so
as to know the intentions of the
gods, and to placate them if pro
voked.
