County, Pass Christian, Long Beach and Gulfport. In 1976 there were, principally in the Long Beach and Gulfport areas,
1,147 acres open to industrial expansion . . . and let us not forget the $17,000,000 Harrison County Industrial Seaway recently built to serve the Gulfport Industrial Site. Should we forget this expenditure and let industry choose its own site along Du Pont's 13’/2 mile roadway and thus "plunder" 20,000 beautiful acres, saved for future residential expansion and recreational use?
SAVE THE BAY OPPOSES THE BUILDING OF DU PONT'S RAILWAY
Population of the Gulf Coast has risen from 62,443 in 1920, to 272,700 in 1977.
It is predicted that this population growth will continue at the annual growth rate of 3%. But where will that population house itself? Right now the attractive residential areas along the Bay of St. Louis and Mississippi Sound are chock-a-block with homes for several miles north of the shoreline. So where can attractive home sites be offered to future residents of the Gulf Coast? One of the prime areas is along the 13Vi mile route of Du Pont's proposed railroad and 1-10. Du Pont doesn't need this railroad to economically supply its DeLisle plant. Six 20-ton enclosed hopper trucks, with four round trips daily, could supply Du Pont with its expected average need of ore. Du Pont will admit, for its own use alone, this railroad is economically unfeasible. So what would make it feasible — the plundering of the 20,000 beautiful acres by other industries who will share the cost and pollute our area even further.
WHAT ABOUT THE DANGERS OF RAIL TRANSPORTATION OF CHLORINE AND CAUSTIC SODA?

r«4cn from The Daily Herald, April IS. 197ft
If certain members of Junior and Senior classes at a local Gulf Coast high school had been sitting on the Board of the Mississippi Air and Water Pollution Control Commission, Du Pont might still be looking for a place to locate its Titanium Dioxide Plant presently under construction near DeLisle, Miss.
If in several years the worst fears of skeptics become reality, those teenagers will pay the price in a ruined landscape, contaminated water, higher taxes and other nightmares that heavy industry often brings.
That's why these Juniors and Seniors expected some simple, honest answers to some tough questions when plant manager Gordon Howell and associate plant manager Larry Kniffin visited the High School. And with only a few exceptions the inquisitive students were dissatisfied with the answers they got. For the most part students agreed with the young man who said "Howell and Kniffin were good at getting off the subject and replying to our questions with other questions."
WHAT ABOUT DU PONT'S AND OTHER EXPECTED INDUSTRIES WATER CONSUMPTION?
It is a matter of record that our water tables, along the entire Gulf Coast, are

And there will be here on I Gulf Coast tool If all these expect industries are allowed to be built alo Du Pont's unneeded railroad line — we allow it to be built!
