Counterbalancing the Bay hike however is an indication of considerable loss in the “old section” of town. “It’s kinda disappointing at this point. “As of the close of business on Wednesday, while we are up over the 1970 total it doesn’t look like a very big increase,’’Lytell said He said the enumerators were still lacking complete counts from two or three areas where a street or two remained to be covered. “We also have houses we have been unable to find anybody at home, and these too we’are checking. “Any housholder who feels he has been missed should complete the form being carried in this newspaper and mail it to Box 152, Bay St.Louis, Miss. 39520, as soon as possible.” Lytell said.

The special census supervisor from the Census Bureau’s Dallas office is working out of a project center located in the Bay High School cafeteria. “We are interested in counting everybody. “In addition to tabulating the actual count we are conducting spot checks of our reports from the field crews, he said. ; He said that a person to be counted must spend the majority of his time at the residence in this county. Summer homes still account for an appreciable number of houses, throughout the county and unless their owners sleep more nights in them than away, then they cannot be counted as residents, the census supervisor indicated. Youth stops train, women unharmed Fast action by Bay St. Louis residents averted a possible tragedy last Wednesday night when a train was flagged by a 15 year-old youth. According to reports, two women reportedly were traveling on Toulme Street when the driver turned west on the L&N railroad tracks. The car became lodged on the tracks and neighbors, after hearing the noise, went to the scene to investigate. Unable to get the women to attempt removal of the car from the tracks, 15 year-old Kevin Favre was sent westward to flag down an approaching train. I,ee Williamson, one of the neighbors, told Favre to take a search light and make an effort at stopping the train. The youth ran along side the tracks to the Second Street crossing where he was successful in stopping the train. The two women were taken away by police officers and the car was removed from the tracks by a wrecker. The train was delayed for approximately 30 minutes. The incident occured about 11 p.m. Wednesday evening. Favre was staying with his aunts at 308 Easterbrook. @Fhe Sea (Soast lEcho Published Sunday and Thursday each week at 112 ^ s. i St..
