up . . . We sincerely hope that the property owners will follow in the footsteps of the City officials and do their part . . . And, too, we hope that the Board of Supervisors will take it upon themselves to clean up the north bay end of this road outside of the city limits . . . The “Coffee Bean” stalks at that end look like young saplings . . . It would all look so pretty if . it were clean . . . But our greatest joy lies in the fact that we are to have a sand beach, and all for free . . . Thanks to Merritt, Chapman and Scott, the Mayor and Commissioners, the Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, the Park and Playground Commission, and to the Property Owners on the Beach from McDonald’s Lane to DeMontluzin avenue who so graciously cooperated and signed easements for the fill to be put in ... At this time pipe is being moved along the beach front, and the pumping will soon be on its way ... If we could only have such perfect cooperation in all civic matters, what a real town Bay St. Louis would be . . . Perhaps the day is not too far in the offing .	. Or are we just day
dreaming ...

Schedule World Community Rites
There are many things yet to be done, and next in importance to sand beaches, is the question of a public pier . . . 1500 feet of the old bridge will make a good public pier . . . We should bear this in mind, and remember ^at Legislature meets in January . . . The highway commission has already passed orders for the demolition of the bridge and for the use of the material in other sections of the State . . . Hancock and Harri- j son Counties paid one half of the cost of this bridge . . . The other part was paid for by the federal government ... A token repay-
*	ment was made by the last legislature to the county for its share of money spent on Highway 90 and for the bridges constructed on this route . . . We are entitled to a part of this bridge for public use as a pier, and we should ask the Legislature of 1952 to pass a bill which would pass the ownership of at least 1500 feet of the old bridge to the City of Bay St. Louis for such use . . . Such legislation would be the answer to another prayer . . . But, bear in mind, we cannot just think about this . . . The responsibility should be placed upon someone to see that it is carried to a definite conclusion . . .
The program for the World Community Day services will be held at Christ Episcopal Church, on Friday, November 2 at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon.
The theme of the meeting is “Live By Faith” and members of the different churches will lead the discussions on these topics: the Episcopal church on “Learning Together”; the Baptist church, “Working Together”; the Methodist church, “Worshipping Together”; and the Presbyterian Mission will have the devotional. The Baptist Mission on Felicity street is invited to participate as are all of the churches.
