JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1945 NUMBER 33 New Oil Well In South Florida Expected To Exceed 500 Barrels Per Day; Should Increase Ac- tivities In This Section An oil well described as a real producer has been 'brought in at Sunniland in Collier county by the Humble Oil & Refining Com- panyb, it has been-'announced fby officials of the company. While making no positive statement as to the well's producing capacity, officials said they had reached a deep pool of oil at 11,549 feet with gast pressure, indicating 'a heavy producer. The well was begun last Octo- ber 31 and is, the fourth test well Humb'e wa's drilling. The first put down is.reported to be producing 15 to 20 barrels daily. The new well is a flowing well, which one of the 'company's engi- neers. is said to have stated will flow fiom "500 to 1500 barrels"' daily, and that production would b e "considerably above 500 bar- rels." Six other wells are being drilled in south Florida; work on three more has been shut down; five have been abandoned, and Humble is preparing to start on its fifth well a mile north of Sunniland. Bringing in of this well should create greater activity in Florida in regard to oil, especially in Gulr county, where the Pure Oil Com- pany has already sunk three 8000- Kiwanians Go To Vets Expected To 17 Graduates Will Town Ladies'Nite Buy First Poppies Receive Diplomas TiieuSv Ev;nnI Hilarity R-Reigns As Civic lub Putss On Most Interesting Pro- gram of the Year "Ladies'" Night," held Thurs- day evening of last week 'by the Kiwanis' Clu'b, proved a "howling" success. The evening's entertain- ment was furnished by members of the club, with high honors for stellar performance,. going to Pres- ident Glenn B'oyjlesI and) Frank Han- non, who portrayed two typical female gossipers, dishing out the dirt over the telephone. To add to the hilarity,. they ,.Fore appropri- ate costumes, and the things they said about certain, members and their wives brought screams of laughter from the audience, not to mention blushes. Another equally enjoyable per- formance was that depicting a courtroom scene, with Jack Frost, resplendent in black robe andi the traditional wig,, acting as judge, and Irlma Boyles and Harry; Mc- Knight posing as attorneys-Irlma for the plaintiff (the wives, whom she, described as "my poor lambs") and Harry for thel defense (the husbands, appropriately dubbed "the goats").

The bill requires that couple. would notify -c'ounty judges of ti- tention to apply for a marriage li- cense three days in advance of .its issuance, and the judge must luhcl post' copies of the application at th4 .frtnt,4oor of. the' court ho uni fr 'i.. ree-day period, securing the most guests' num- bers on his card. Mrs. Pat Bray re- ceived the prize for having the greatest number of items in her handbag. Brother Billy Daniel was accorded' first honors for having the most attractive "corsage" (all club members wore one of these "corsages," which were made by their ladies beforehand. They were made up of assorted vegetables, from onions to cauliflower, ana "he collection was, enough to make any produce dealer fairly) drool). The meeting closed with Presi- ,ent Boyles' reading of the V-E Day proclamation of International President Ben Dean, and a prayer by Rev. 0. D. Langston. Guests of the club included 1KI- wanis Lieut.

M. Lee an- nounced yesterday that Gulf coun- ty, along with Florida's other 6b counties., ha'di been allocated ati additional $2000 from race track taxes. The comptroller stated, that tWe entire $33,000 guaranteed to coun- ties may be available, from this source.

M. Schneider, com- mander of Wi"lis V. Rowan Post 116, American Legion. "Todayl as in 1917 and 1918 our men are again fighting overseas, giving their lives that we may be safe," said Schneider. "These boys are our relatives, our neighbors, our friends. It is, grievous to us that they must suffer, and who better appreciates the amount of suffering they endure than the veterans, of this war andi the last? "Those on the home front wish to show that they remember and revere those who died in both wars, and to do this they wear the poppy. The women of the Legion Auxiliary will be on the streets on Poppy Day offering the poppies made 'by disabled veterans to the public. I am sure that veterans and civilians alike will be eager to wear the little ria symbol of sacrifice. We of the American Le- gion should 'be a ong :-.he first to' wear the badge, as nope know better than we the heroism of America's dead soldiers." 4-K JIMMIE PALMER WINS DECLAMATION CONTEST Miss Jimmie Palmer, speaking on "Freedom From Fear," was. ac- judged winner in the dieclamationi contest held at the high school au- diitorium last Friday1 evening.

The mighty structure of Naziism that was. to last a thou- sand years has crumbled into dust and rubble. Its leaders are dead or imprisoned,. every- where dishonored. The German military ma- chine is smashed. After almost six years of suffering and slaughter, there is peace in Europe. But for us there is no full peace. For mil- lions of Americans there still is further sacri- fice and anxiety. For America there can be no full peace until Japan is finally crushed. We are facing the most stern test in our nation's history. Japan- is cunning,. cruel and STARDUST and MOONSHINE We were pretty sure that with the fishing season opening Tues- day that St. Joe would resemble somewhat a deserted village, but such was, not the case, mainly due to twi-.ac. that Izatk Waltons from Bay county, Geo:'-gia and Al- abama -had ireerved all the cot- tages and boats a month or so aheacD, and-, o local fishermen, unless they !carried, their own boats and went only .to spend the day, were simply out of luck. Eveh George Cooper and Frenchy Guil- lory were on the. job at their re- spective places of business. which was indeed surprising.. However, George suCucumibed Wednesday and left early 'in the morning for the fishing grounds. Whatever, he. says he caught, don't believe him. Mrs,. J. A. Owens,, over at the Friendly Lunch, was in a dither Sunday, .for. her cook had up and quit on her and, she had to do the cooking and a lot of KP. Unsus- pecting customers who made re- marks about the service were immediat.Al;. notified by the har- rassed cook and bottle, washer that .they would take what was given them "or else"-and the "'o else" .was a wicked-looking carv- ing knife. Any of you iolk's see Erbin "Lightnin' Bowen riding tne merry-go-round at the carnival the other evening? He iwas trying to !ook nonchalant, but as, any fooi could plainly see, he was getting strong! A Jap army of 7,000,000 is still in- tact. More than 350,000,000 subject peoples have been slaving to build supporting stock- piles of war materiel in Japan and occupied China while we have been engaged in con- quering Hitlerism in Europe. Bringing Japan to her knees requires that our army and navy overcome the most tre- mendous logistics problem in the annals of warfare. We must transport millions of-men a distance of 15,000 miles from the European var theater to new bases in the Pacific. Mil- lions of tons of new supplies must be shipped 6000 miles from San Francisco to Manila . and Manila is still almost 2000 miles from the Japanese homeland. The long, long .haul to the Pacific is the task that highlights pulpwood's role in the war with Japan. For pulpwood must provide the double wrapping and the double packag- ing of food ammunition, clothing, blood plasma and the thousands of other military items required now by General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz. This is why pulpwood is on the Production Urgency List, along with planes and bombs. Pulpwood helped to defeat the Nazi war machine. Pulpwood will be needed in large quantities in bringing about the unconditional surrender of the Japanese.- Profoundly grateful, then, to our fighting forces in Europe, we must fight on-with all our hearts and all our strength-in the spirit of dedication to our fighting forces in the Pacific. more fun out of it than *a kid with 'a new toy. -. We noticed the other night that Ruth Freeman, in the ticket of- fice of the *Port theater had one of those OPA tokens in he, cast box. Well, that's one way to get extra points, From the number of-cars receiv- ing new paint jobs, it looks as it somebody has 'feP heir to a barrel or two of red paint.

We asked Otto Anderson how the shorts situation was, and he replied: .O'Short and getting much shorter." Us fat fellers are sure out of luck. when, it comes to get- ting shorts.
