Being Introduced The Port St. Joe schools will

By J. B. WHITE, County Agent for the fall term, according to, -


From time to time there have
been a few comments in regards
to the farming in Gulf county.
Now, it is a known fact that there
is very little actual farming such
,as corn; cotton, peanuts, etc., in
this county compared to Jackson
and Holmes counties and counties
in Alabama and Georgia. However,
once upon a time, back in 1839-70,
there was very little farming in
those places compared to the


!Principal W. A. Biggart, with all
teaching positions filled with the
exception of junior high math, .
physical education and that. of
oanoanaster. Mr. Biggart stated
that efforts were being made to
fill these positions and that he
was sure the faculty would be
complete by Monday.
School will take up at 9:30 each
morning during the term, due to
war saving time, and all bus

do. not have the same type of sail;
s-cond, we have more rainfall, and
third, the land is owned in large
tracts and not in 40 to 2,50-acre
tracts like the majority of land is
owned in the general farming
areas.
'Then, it may be asked, what
kind of farming is there to do.?
Cattle farming or ranching, pas-
ture, pines, wildlife and our fa-
mous tuplo honey is the answer.
First, our land is low and wet,
which is excellent for the growth
of grass pastures. Land which is
a 'little higher has an excellent
gr-wth-. or plus-P S.cuuu, : ni the
low lands we have plenty of rain
to keep grass growing. Third, the
land is owned, in large tracts,
which is suitable and ideal for
cattle. Therefore the greatest ex-
.pansion in farming in Gulf county
' ill be in cattle and pastures. In
otner words, we cannot compete
with the general farming areas
with our soil, nor can they com-
pete with us in raising livestock.
Now let us see what has been
accomplished in the cattle and.
pasture program. Briefly this: By
January 1, 1943, there will be be-
tween 500 and 600 acres of im-
proved pastures in Gulf county.
There are between 20 and 25 pure-
bred 'gulls in the county at the!
present time, whereas a year and
. a half ago there were but three
or four.
Who are the people who are ian-
proving their pastures and. herds
of cattle? They are C. W. "Red"
Horton, James A. Glenn, W. T. Ed-
wards, C. H. Johnson, H. C. Lis-

"MURDER THRILLER"

Van Heflin, said to be Holly-

plays the lead in "Grand Central

Heflin, whom most fans will re-
call for his fine performance as
Robqrt Taylor's pal in "Johnny

w.ise-cracking sleuth of this new
mystciry drama, as he unravels a
most complicated crime plot.

all guilty, only to discover that he

Observers Failing

To Check Planes

Ships Konwn By Army To Have
Been In This Section Unre-
ported Says Director

Chief Observer W. S. Smith this
week received a communication
from George L. Snowden, district
A. W. S. director, stating that the
army is keeping a close check on
planes being reported by various
observation posts, and that "in the
case of the St. Joe post we under-
stand that a number of planes
which the army knows have passed
within s.ight or hearing distance
of- the tower have not been re-
norted."
The chief observer ias no way
of checking on the planes that
pass unless he devotes his entire
time to scanning the skies, so he's
passing the buck (good old army
game) to his observers, some of
whom apparently have been a bit
negligent in attending to their of-
ficial duties.
It is suggested that observers
do not depend upon hearing plants
in order to report them, but to
keep a constant watch to report
planes which possibly, cannot bte
heard due to direction of the wind
or other causes.

Fresh water from the wells at
Florida City came pouring into
Key West this week through what

Keys aqueduct, which follows the
Overseas Highway and that sec-

railway right-o-f-way which is to
be converted into a highway.
The water is pumped for 130
miles through an 18-inch pipeline.
At present water is only supplied
for military forces, but later con-
nections will provide for the needs
of civilians.

Collected Junk

To Be Gathered

By Truck Today

Air Raid Wardens To Check On
Amounts and Where Located;
City Providing Truck

Now that everybody has had suf-
ficient time to gather up all the
old scrap iron and steel, rubber,
copper, zinc, brass, lead, rags, ma-
nila rope and burlap bags old
things that could have gone to the
junkman long ago-the varied col-
lections will be gathered up today
by the Gulf county salvage com-
mittee, using one of the city's
trucks provided through the cour-
tesy of the board of city commis'
sioners.
To facilitate the collection and
to save tires and gasoline, air raid
wardens on their regular rounds
have been checking on the junk
available as part of their duties.
They will continue to do so in fu-
ture, and collections will be made
from time to time by truck.
.All scrap material will go to the
vacant lot on Monument avenue
opposite the St. Joe Motor com-
pany, where it will be segregated
into various grades under super-
vision of Robert Bellows and Nick
Kelley.
Everyone is urged to have their
scrap ready to be picked up when
the truck comes around today, for
we should all begin to realize, If
we do not already know it,' that
in order to-sustain -o-r--we -pro-:
duction efforts at top speed, and
to rule out the possibility of shut-
downs in both steel mills and
manufacturing plants due to lack
of raw materials, it is vital that
every community in America, how
ever small, organize and conduct
a relentless program of scrap col-
lection from now on.
And housewives are asked to re-
member to save all waste fats, as
it is vital to the production of
munitions. When a pound or more
has been collected, take it to your
butcher.

Our Country. Right or Wrong


THE 100-PERCENTERS
In every city, town, village and hamlet in
America you will find people who have gone
all-out to help win this war These are the
men, women and children who have bought
the war stamps and bonds. They are the one:
who have taken up their posts in civilian de-
fense. They are the ones who are now col-
lecting scrap materials to keep our war tur-
naces going under full blast.
Women on trucks in New Jersey are col-
lecting scrap from door to door. Movie maap-
agers in a dozen states are offering free tick-
ets for scrap iron and rubber, and collecting
..them by the carolad. In Michigan one small
town collected 154 tons of scrap rubber-
three. times its quota of five pounds per per-
son. In Maine Boy and Girl Scouts work with
trucks scouring their neighborhoods for iron,
steel and rubber scrap.
In Louisiana, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Ala-
bama, Illinois, Virginia, and every other state
in the.Union, air wardens are working on this
huge' national scrap drive. Minute Men, the
American Legion, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs
and all other fraternal organizations, police
departments, women's clubs, city councils
and other civic groups-all are working from
early to late to gather in every pound of scrap
material they can lay their hands on.
These loyal Americans, these volunteers
who answer every call to the colors, are fired
with the same spirit of determination that In-
spired our forefathers who founded this coun-
try and who have been fighting to defend ,its
freedoms ever since. They are the ones who
can be counted on in an emergency-not to
do only what they think they have to do to
"get by," but everything they can do to help


their country.
These "one hundred-percenters" are the
backbone of America, and when this war is
won it will be their efforts that have won it
and not those who always sit on the sidelines
and let the other fellow do all the work.
Are you a "one hundred-percenter"? There
are too many people in Port St. Joe and Gulf
county sitting on the sidelines today instead
of doing their bit for this all-out war effort.

BACK TO SCHOOL
Next Monday the public schools of Gulf
county open to receive our young people, as
they do every year about this time through-
out the nation.
We have become so accustomed to this that
parents only think of the opening of school
as it affects their daily life and possibly'the
cost of clothing, books and other incidentals,
and the children view it principally as sonit-
thing that must be done with varying amount
of joy or sorrow.
Actually the opening of our public schools
each year is a symbol of the rebirth of out
nation and the ideals on which it was founded.
Our public school system is the bedrock of
our democracy. It is the crucible in which
the steel of the framework of the future of
our country is melted and purified.
This country could never have reached its
present state of greatness if our forefather-
had not seen the advantages of public educa-
tion, and it will never fail as long as our pub-
lic school system continues to function as it
should.
We need only to look back a little more
than two decades to see what public schools
can do for a country and consider the valiant
fight being put up today by Russia, which a
few years ago was a country of ignorance,
hunger and confusion. Twenty years of pub-
lic school education has made a great nation
able to stand against the most powerful war
machine in Europe despite the fact that the
nation was founded on an unsound philosophy

Before any program can be put

It is to the interest of all to have
some well-developed agricultural
resource in any section of the

is not enough beef produced in
Gulf county to provide the needs

The cattle and pasture program
covers a wide range and is slow to
show progress, but it is sound. We
here in Gulf county have started
the safe and sound way b.y grow-

than by buying into it. If you buy
