Hall- 6 ford, Who Promises a "Dif- !9 ferent Kind of Revival" 5 R. F. Hallford,, pastor of the. lo- Scal Baptist Church, announces that he will conduct a revival at 4 the church beginning next Sunday, May 7, and continuing until (?). There will be two services daily, at 7:15 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. "This will 'be a different kind of revival," said the pastor. "There will be no visiting preacher, no entertainment and no collections. We will have old-time gospel sing- ing, piano selections, vocal solos,. duets and choir specials, followed by straight-from-the-shoulder Bible preaching. Emphasis will be put on saving the lost and reviving I the saved." I Everyone is extended a cordial invitation to take part in this re- vival meeting. 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 MAGICIAN COMING TO PORT THEATER Above, is a scene, from the big "Spook Show" presented by Lip- pincott, the magician, and his company off yoing lady assistants, coming to the Port theater next Tuesday night at 11 o'clock.

New subscribers are: Betty Sue Watts, John Dendy, )St. Joe Bar, R. :G. VonHildelbr.andt, T. Strick- land and' Patty Lovett, all local. R. C. Collier and J. C. Martin, l3eacon Hill; A. T.

"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. days at 3:00 p. m.

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.

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. _.
