' -This editor first met Dr. A. ;P. Smith on a Sunday afternoon when Dr. Smith made a house call on an ill neighbor. There’s not a whole lot more of a personal nature he ever knew of Dr. Smith. That he was first a pharmacist, then a doctor, started the first hospital-type treatment place in lHancock County, practiced medicine here for more than 45 years, has been 'honored by his school, Tulane University, and his church, the First Baptist Church, those things we know. '
Because of his reputation, as well as his record, the editor knows a'whole lot more. ;He knows that Hancock County lost
from the when Dr. .Smith died Monday. He knowa tlTfcre are many persons 1 f' alive today that afe so because of Dr. Smith. That of itself is 'a fine tribute to auyoAe.
To us, however, Dr. Smith typified something even larger, greater, bigger or whatever you wish to call it. He typified the family physician—the horse-and-buggy doctor, except automobiles were used by him.
From our viewpoint, Dr. Smith represented the best in medical practice and in humanity. Specialists are needed, even when they work on the right foot, not the left. The family physician, the general practicioner, the doctors Smith are still our best source of medical attention, when needed. -Dr. Smit|i was an excellent example of why Hancock County should oppose the non-personalized and cold socialized medicine how being advocated by many sources. ;_____________________

euiionauy on Page 4. Figert said Mississippi appraisers will be used to determine fair market value. While the Defense Department provides for the cost of families moving out of an area it acquires, similar legislation for NASA Is pending in Congress, he reported. It was made clear present boundaries are firm and a one-time full payment will be made on easements.
Churches in the buffer zone can not be used, all human habitation of building being forbidden when testing begins. If it la wished, the federal government will move cemeteries. Those in the test zone cannot be used In the future but those In the easement zone can. There are an estimated 13 churches and nine cemeteries involved.
At the start one vehicle a month will be tested In the project to get ahead of Russia In space. Missies will not be sent aloft from this site, only the engines manufactured at the Mlc-houd installation In New Orleans tested. Future relocation of State Rt. 43, running from Westonla to Picayune will be made in cooperation with the State Highway Department. Travel on U. S. 90 and Interstate 10 will not be affected.
Colonel Berry and Berlin stressed that the sudden announcement of the site selection and filing of court proceedings were to prevent land speculation.
Questions covered all manner of topics, Including state and local taxation which the panel was not equipped to handle. One even Inquired whether the displaced landowner could move flowers from his property. The answer: Yes.
Vincent Leo Garriga, Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Gar-^ riga of Pascagoula, formerly of Bay St. Louis, was christened Sunday afternoon at Our Lady of the Gulf Church.
