Appeals for Co-operation

told of the tremendous size of
the tuna industry and appealed
for co-operation.
"Let's all work together, from
Tampa, Fla., to Brownsville,
e Tex .” he said, “to move this in-J
dustry to the Gulf toast where it
belongs on the basis of natural
advantages.”
Hervey M. Petrlch of the West

"Our studies of the Gulf area
have been going on for more thr.n
10 years” Mr. Petrich said.
He told of an experimental
trip on one of their clippers into
the Gulf area and up the Atlantic
coast, which was made In 1938.
"I feel that the Gulf can right
fully be railed the ‘fishbowl of
the world' " he said. "I feci as
sured that there are tuna in this

of the Gulf are unlimited. I hope
that one first step in the shift

Cancer Drive...
(Continued From Page 1)
County Health Department re
, vealed that in this countv during
last year one person died every
two weeks of cancer.
"This shocking figure should
certainly awaken every citizer
of the county to the tragic result
of this disease," he stated, "and
should certainly make every cit
izen not only desire to assist hr
fellow citiznen when stricken bul
do everything possible to aid in
the preventive measures that car
only con c about through educe
tional processes, early diagnosi'
and prompt treatment."
Treatment of cancer is expen
sive, it was explained, with sur
gery, X-ray apd other highly spe
cialized treatment involved.
Coffee Day
As a part of the drive, Mr.
Hardy announced that the Jack
son County unit plans to partici
pate in a state-wide Coffee Day
April 27 when restaurants, drug
stores and other places serving
coffee will he requested to donal"
the proceeds from the sale of cof
fee on that day.
Stressing the importance of
early diagnosis and treatment,
Dr. Underwood declared that one
half of the potential deaths from
cancer can be averted if the dis
ease is detected at once.
Of the money raised last year
during the drive. 82 per cent was
spent for hospitalization and med
ical treatment of cancer patients,
eight per cent was spent on an
educational program and the re
maining ten per cent was used
for administrative costs.
Tuna...

(Continued From Page 1)
Tuna were also lorated in the
Gulf during another exploratory
trip hy the clipper Sovereign of
the J. M. Martinac Company of
Tacoma, which was made in 194(1,
he added.
Potentialities of Gulf
“The desire to locate canning
plants in Pascagoula is no sudden
decision on our part," Mr. Pe
trich said. “It results from the
natural advantages offered hero,
and the reduced operating costs
made possible by a location much
closer to the Pacific fishing
grounds and other factors.
“It is also my belief that the
Gulf is ‘the fish bowl of the
world’ with vast undiscovered
potentialities for development. I
believe that Pascagoula offers the
finest site in the United States
for these canneries. I have been
studying this region for more than
10 years, and believe it offers
natural advantages second to
none."
The Petrich family has been in
the boat building business for
many years, and also operates
nine tuna clippers. They recently
built and launched the Mary E
Petrich, named for Mr. Petrich's
mother who died recently, at a
cost in excess of $500,000. The
vessel is the largest tuna clipper
ever constructed from keel up.
They also build a line of pleas
ure boats whose trade name is thjb
“Fairliner". These range from
luxurious custom built cabin
cruisers to the sport type runa
bout and tuna tenders. In addi
tion thev have also manufactured
and marketed for many years
self powered one-man farm and
tractor equipment.

uled this week and next between

Sale Of Easter
Seals To Benefit
Crippled Children
f
Helping a crippled child or
adult to lead a fuller, more nor
mal life is the purpose of the
Mississippi Society for Crippled
Children and Adults and this
work is financed through the sale
of Easter Seals which began
March 17 under the direction of
Mrs. P. A. Thompson, county
chairman.
As a part of the program to aid
handicapped persons, the state
society will operate five summer
camps for crippled boys and girls
during the summer of 1949, Mrs.
Thompson said. These camps will
provide exercise, companionship
and outdoor fun for the children.
“Though he uses a crutch, Ron
nie, for example, can still pitch
horseshoes and do lots of other
things featured at camp,” society
officers pointed out. “Camps and
crutches and many other facili
ties are made possible through
the sale of Easter seals.”
Many of the adults are taught
trades which they can do despite
their handicap and in that way
be either wholly or partially self
supporting through this society.
‘‘When the letter with a crip
pled child pictured on the envel
ope and Easter Seals inside
reaches you, place your contri
bution in the self addressed en
velope and mail it immediately,”
Mrs. Thompson urged. Anyone

Teaching Underdeveloped Areas
Self Help Progressing Under UN
By CLARKE BEACH
AP Feature Writer
WASHINGTON — A big gat
I ir> the program of the United Na
t tions (UN) to aid underdeveloped
j areas would be filled by Presi
I dent Truman’s "Point 4."
Officials of United Nations
1 agencies here point out that nin<
of UN groups have extensive pro
grams concerned with labor; foot
and agriculture; education, sei
ence and culture, civil aviation
health; telecommunications and
so forth.
But when you want to help out
the underprivileged countries by
increasing their food supply, oi
improving their health, labor oi
educational conditions, you in
variahly trip on one stumbling
block. That is, little can be done
in any of these fields unless you
simultaneously begin to build up
the countries’ roads, railroads,
industries, docks, power plants,
etc.
The UN has no agency directly
concerned with the latter field.
The nearest thing to it is the In
ternational Bank for Reconstruc
tion and Development. But the
bank’s funds are very limited.
"Bold New Program"
Mr. Truman's proposal in his
inaugural address was for a plan
which would encompass the
whole field of development—
bold new program for making thi
benefits of our scientific ad
vances and industrial progres
available for the improvemen'
and growth of underdeveloped
areas.”
Secretary of State Acheson ex
plained a few days later that i!
was not a program of heavy gov
ernment expenditures. The idea
was to use technicians and vari
ous specialists to teach other
countries to help themselves and
to create conditions whfch would
encourage the investment ci priv
ate capital.
This is the technique which th< I
United Nations and its affiliated
units have been using for a loni
time. Teams of experts from va
rious countries go out into an
area which has requested advice
and assistance. After a plan ha:
been agreed upon, one or anothei
organization does what it can tf
put it into effect.
FAO Active in Field
Most active in this field lias
been the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO), which seeks
to increase the food supply by
helping countries to improve their
farming techniques. When irriga
tion, hydroelectric power or roads
are essential to improve agricul
tural methods, the FAO techni
cians have at times joined the
financial experts of the Interna
tional Bank to determine wheth
er the bank could finance the
necessary construction.
The UN General Assembly at
its session in Paris last fall took
a step to broaden the field of
development work. It instructed
its secretary-general to organize
teams of experts to advise mem
ber governments on economic de
velopment programs. It provided
fellowships for study outside the
country involved and training for
local technicians within the
country.
The plan is large in concept
but limited in application. The [
. ■—11 " -
Teneral Assembly provided on
S28R.000 to carry it out.
The International Trade O
;anization, a UN affiliate, in t!
charter which it drafted at H
/ana last March, pledged itst
‘to foster and assist industri
ind general economic develo
mem, particularly of those cou:
tries which are still in the ear
dagos of industrial developmer
and to encourage the internatio
il flow of capital for producth
investment.”
U. S. In Leading Role
The United States has taken
leading role in all these projee
to foster economic growth, ft
this country alone has sufficie:
capital resources and technic
skills to provide substantial a
sistance. Besides working throujr
UN agencies, we have done mut
of this kind of thing on our ow>
We have made loans through tb
Export-Import Bank. We hav
sent technical missions to th
Philippines. Brazil, Bolivi:
Greece. Turkey, Syria, and othe
countries. Some 65 nations hav
sent representatives here to stud
our soil conservation probler
alone.
As an extension of our goo
neighbor policy in Latin Amer
ica, two organizations funetio’:
under the State Department t
iromote fhe interests of the othe
American Republics (which arr
imong the lands rated as under
leveloped). They are:
1. The Institute of Inter-Amer
;can Affairs, which assists the sis
ter republics to plan, finance and
execute projects in the field of
nublic health, agriculture, educa
tion, etc.
2. The Interdepartmental Com
mittee on Scientific and Cultural
Cooperation, which works with
the other republics in the inter
change of knowledge and skills

The ideu isn't new to Mr. Tru
