entertainment and no collections.

ing, piano selections, vocal solos,.
duets and choir specials, followed
by straight-from-the-shoulder Bible
preaching. Emphasis will be put

ROTARY DOWNS KIWANIS
25-20 IN SOFT BALL TILT

In a fast, furious and, in spots
fuzzy, softball game 1 Wednesday
night, played on Centennial Field
under the floodlights, the Rotary
Club downed the Kiwanians by a
score of 25 to 20 in a hectic battle.
Due to lack of space we cannot
give a play-by-play account, much
as we'd like to. Suffice to say that
yesterday the local drug stores
were sold out of liniment and rub-
bing alcohol, it being bought up by
members, of both teams to soothe
aching joints and muscles and en-
aible them to go about their duties
the following day.

Our Country ` Right or Wrong

JO SERRA POPS OFF

Jo Serra, the old swamp rat from down
in the Willis Swamp section, was in town
Tuesday to do a little electioneering and get
a supply of bacon and beans. As is his cus-
tom, he dropped in to see the editor, and we
worked around to the high wages of today
and taxes.
"You know," said Jo, "these here men and
wimmin-not to mention the kids-what are
drawin' down big pay envelopes every Sat-
tiddy, are beginning' to look sorta askance at
their pay checks lately as they find a bigger
difference all the time between their rate of
pay and what they're totin' home. The way
things are goin', a guy making' $60 a week will
soon be takin' .home 'bout $10 a week."
"Things are sorta taking a trend that way,"
we commented, "but what can be done about
it?" We knew if we could keep Jo talking

The month of April saw names
of 11 old subscribers removed
from fihe Star's subscription list
and the names of 18 new sub-
scribers put on. In order to hold
our list static .we will be compelled
to carry the seven newcomers into
the, May "fail-to-renew" list, which
probably won't leave many vacan-
cies -for new readers during the
present month.
New subscribers are: Betty Sue
Watts, John Dendy, )St. Joe Bar,

land and' Patty Lovett, all local.

he would pop up with some sort of solution.
"Brother," replied Jo, "you've axed a ques-
tion which has got a simple answer. The
more the' working' man or the man on the
street expects the guvamint to do fer him-
in simpler words, the more handouts he gits
to looking' fer with the idee that the guvamint
kin do sumthin' fer him which he can't do
fer hisself, or which can't be done by his fel-
ler citizens-the less he's gonna have left
in his paycheck, no matter how big it is.
"The guvamint can't give nothing' in the
shape of presents, which it don't first take
out'en his pocket by the taxation route. So,
the more the. guvamint .gives a feller, the
higher the taxes.
"An' it don't make a dang bit of difference
what you call them there gifts, whether you
call, .it social see-curity, food subsidies, so-
cialized medical care, or whatnot the cost
of all of them things is gonna come out of
the paycheck, and the less a guy will be able
to do fer hisself.
"None of that fer me. I'm gonna stay
buried down there in Willis, 'cause the price
of financial dependence on guvamint is the
loss of individual independence."
And with these sage remarks, Jo gnawed
off a hunk of chewing tobacco and changed
the subject.

It looks as though the people of this county
did not realize the weight carried by E. Clay
Lewis in the legislature. He has repeatedly
been referred to as one of the best-liked and
hardest working members of the state body,
and was in line for many important commit-
tec appointments. However, the will of the
people must be obeyed, and everyone should
co-operate fully with our new representative
in the legislature from Gulf county.

To the People of

Gulf County

I would like to take this op-
portunity of thanking the people
of Gulf County for the splendid
vote given me last Tuesday. I
want to congratulate Mr. Wilson
on his fine and splendid victory;
to thank him for his fine sports-
manship and clean manner in
which his campaign was carried
on; to assure him, and all the
people of Gulf County, that I am
ready and anxious to assist' him:
with all of my limited ability, in
the furtherance of any cause for
the betterment and, advancement
of our county and state.
You have been good to me;
you have honored me six times
by election in the past, for which
I am deeply grateful; I have
made an honest effort at all
times to represent the will of
the ,people. My successor is an
able and fine gentleman and I
know will make all of us a splen-
did representative in the legis-
lative halls of our state. I be-
speak for him the same co-oper-
ation ,that has always been
shown to me.
It is my earnest Wope that I
may continue to be called upon
to aid and work for the progress
and development of our county.
It may be that as a private citi-
zen I can be of greater service
than I have been able to accom-
plish as, a public official.
Thank you from the bottom
of my heart for the honors that
you have bestowed upon me and
with a fervent hope that we will
all continue to work together for
.a better and greater county and
state.
Sincerely,
E. CLAY LEWIS, Jr,

Episcopal Rector Tells of "Tht
Church's Part In Develop-
ing the Child."

The third talk in a series of
studies on the adolescent child be-
ing sponsored 'by the local .Parent-
Teachers Association was delivered
Thursday afternoon of last week
by Rev. -Richard Corry, rector of
the St. James Episcopal Church, to
an interested audience -in the high
school auditorium, Rev. Corry tak-
ing for his subject "The Church's
Part In Developing the Child."
Rev. Corry outlined four phases
for youth to' follow throughout life,
being: (1) Worship. Center your
life in 'Christ, practice family
prayers, in. the home. Learn and
take on your responsibility to the
church. Make a habit of prayer at
all times during the day. Learn (to
thank God' as well as ask for more.
(2) Study. Organize discussion
groups, for the youth of todayy. Ap-
ply principles of Christ in prob-
lems facing children today. Teach
the child to think and .act for him-
self. Speak frankly about boy-girl
relationships.
(3) Fellowship. Provide good.
wholesome recreatlbna- facilities
for the young people. Instead of
telling the-m' so many don'tts'
give them some "do's"., Teach them
creativeness. Let them do for
themselves.
(4) Service. Teach th'e child
service to his parents, friends and
to his town. Let him become in-
terested' in their town; teach him
civic pride. 6
Following Rev. 'Corrys talk, an
open discussion was held and all
present participated.

MAY CALL SPECIAL
SESSION TO RAISE
TEACHER SALARIES
A special session of the legisla-
ture to raise teachers' salaries has
been agreed to by Governor Hol-
land, providing he and school
teachers can agree on- a plan and
a majority of both houses will ap-
prove such plan in advance.
Details are expected to be
worked out at a conference late
this month between Holland and
the Continuing Educational Coun-
cil. The council has proposed a
unit appropriation or $1000 a year.
Present unit is $800, since the gov-
ernor vetoed a raise to $950 passed
by the 1943 legislature.
