Monday Afternoon' April 3 1961 The Daily Herald Biloxi and Gulfport Mississippi THREE the lot was disclosed Saturday by a sales agent Nixon has engaged an architect and the house is expected to be ready by early fall Mrs Nixon and their two daughters are still in Washington DC where tee girls are in school PLANS HOME BEVERLY HILLS Calif (AP) Vice President Richard Nixon today made plans for "a modest one-story on a three-quarter acre lot he has purchased in an exclusive subdivision of Beverly Hills The price was not disclosed Lot prices' in the area range be-tween 42000 and 875000 Sale of Alaska Florida California and Hawaii have longest coastlines Answers Reply To Union About Buck Theatre Lew Andrews manager of Buck Theatre Biloxi today issued a statement in behalf of the owners and operators of the Buck Theatre in reply to one last week by motion picture operators It follows: Regardless of the fact the Buck Theatre has had union operators for thirty years the present management never entered into a contract with them for their services in fact we refused to sign a contract with them when we took over They had a man in the booth at the time and so long as the theatre was doing sufficient business to pay them their scale we kept him However when business fell off last year to where their demands amounted to 47 per cent of the box office receipts and they refused to work for what the theatre could afford to pay we told them to take their man out They were wrong when they stated we hired Keeslei' personnel to take their place as we did not put one Keesler person on our pay roll We put our youngest son in the booth as operator and kept the non-union man that worked for the union man we had as he agreed to work for what-we could afford to pay He only works two or three days per week in order to give our son a rest as he is going to Biloxi High We did call in a friend from the Air Force to check our booth after the union man left and he found any number of things wrong that did not exist while the union man was in The union went to a lot of trouble going to Keesler authorities and tlvr-y almost got our friend in a lot of trouble However we were able to have him exonerated front the charges against him after we explained things to the proper au thorities They have a lot of gall talking about or the holding of two jobs by one man The union man -we had did plumbing work by day another one of their men drives a cab and another one has a plumbing supply business and I am sure if each and ever one of them was investigated you would find others taking the job of another man They say they obtained th 1 first objective but not by their efforts or tactics as we would not have given in to them in the next 100 years We wish to advise the public that our son is still the projectionest and will be as long as the theatre is open and we regret that the building is to be torn down It may be we may get another place on the Coast and the union will get out if in and it is too bad that more -businesses see the light and dispose of the union where they are asking too much for their services Jitney Jungle Store Opening The opening of the Jitney Jungle

many years the name Metropolitan has been synonymous with Life insurance service This means that the Company serves its friends and policyholders right in their homes or places of business To render

the Company invariably takes advantage of it From its new headquarters at 547 Pass Road or combinations fall very flat or they can come off with a bang Usually they should be handled by experts But your letter Indicates that you might get away with this one Paint the walls yellow not pink Use the pink for towels and accessories Pink bath towels might have yellow mongrams Pink linen guest towels

furnish the living room but know where to start I would like a plum sofa The walls are beige What color chair curtains and rugs should I buy? Does plum go well with beige? Mrs A Dear Mrs A In a word no Plum and beige would team up to give you a drab dull room If you want a plum sofa repaint those walls Pale seafoam green walls and curtains would make you room seem larger The rug could then be a slightly deeper tone of the green Slip cover the chair with a gay print that has pink and plum flowers with green leaves on a white ground Open your cupboard doors For In one of them there may lurk an exciting new color scheme It might be a beautiful plate a picture a scrap of lovely chintz or wallpaper bought at a-remnant sale and never put to use Use one as a basis for a scheme in that hard-to-do room One of the less dominant colors could be used for the background and larger areas A second color could be used in less amount with a third This third and possible more vibrant shade might be the accent color for the room Often schemes happen in the most unlikely places but a keen and searching eye will ferret them out Dear Polly: What do you think of a pink and yellow bathroom? I have yellow ceramic tile The walls above are now white Draw curtains like the adjoining bedroom are soft green with much yellow and pink in the small design I find nothing In decorating books to justify this combination but I like it Would my freinds laugh me to scorn if I paint the walls pink and use a pink-and-white shower curtain? 1 love pink towels in my yellow room Mrs Zj Dear Mrs Off-beat col the Handsboro Office hopes to bring you even greater assistance in all matters relating to insurance and to help plan insurance programs the Metropolitan way for you and your family For this is your own home town insurance company It employs local people who are ready and anxious to help you Its trained insurance specialists give a special significance to the words Metropolitan service Is as local as Main Street as dose as your phone Here are the members of our Staff serving in this area -Muuger- Floyd Russell Tek- DeLuxe TOOTHBRUSHES Jerome Hilton Charles Aldrich Hattiesburg Miss -Assistant Fred BROOME Hattiesburg Miss Representatives -I (J111 G3S Floyd Russell Mr Russell who is the Manager of new local office in Handsboro has been with the Company since 1930 He made his start as an Agent was promoted to an Assistant Manager and since 1 1938 has been associated with the Field Training Division as Instruc-tor and subsequently as a Division Supervisor In taking over his duties here Mr Russell with the members of his Staff is dedicated to the purpose of continuing and extending the high quality Life insurance which has led so many people in the area to entrust their protection to Joseph Miloscia JobS Parker Houston Rogers Charles Smith William Smith Lemmib Stuart Beverly Tullier John S-Grydbr Eldrige Hamilton Preston Hanna Charles Harvison Robert Jasken Joe Johnson Richard Miller James Adamson Jack Barnes Paul Bullard Price Cain Jr John Carbonneau Andrew Collins William Fleming -Office Mary A Martin Bay 1 Tek Delvie Get Tek DeLexe FREE Both for only Office Staff- Suzanne West Sarah Martin Betty Mattox Macklyn Bond Mary Brooks MttTO0oliUn REGULAR $138 VALUE Wgk Qwofity Greatest Savings INSURANCE COMPANY COMPANY) METROPOLITAN LIFE (A MUTUAL Dial UN 3-5133 547 Pass Road Handsboro Mississippi PACIFIC COAST HEAD OFFICEi 600 Stockton Street San Francisco 20 California Prescriptions Delivered Anytime Regular Delivery Til 8:08 Over Two Million Prescriptions Dispensed Since 1M5 14th Street Galfpwrt HOME OFFICE: 1 Madison Avef New York 10.
