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-

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"). This. affair culmi-
nated! in the crowning of their
subjects; by the, two attorneys, who
read comical verses) to suit each
one crowned.
Various prizes w;re' awarded.
Each guest was presented a num-


foot test wellsall_ of whjch,. W,..berand score card at the door, and
understand' have had the casing Peck Boyer received a prize for


left in them and capped, and. is
now .starting on a fourth hole In

Other counties. in which drilling
and testing is going on are Dade,
Bay, Highlands, Madison, Monroe,
and Charlotte.

Softball Results


Due to the fact that games for
last Friday were advanced to
Wednesday last week, we have
but one. tilt to record, this week,
that between the High School and
Maintenance. It was the closest
game yet recorded between these
two teams, the .score being 9 to
4, and might have ended differ-
ently if the Maintenrance players
could have hung onto the pill when
it came their way. The box score:

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.

That Ex-Servidemen Know
What It'~ All About

Veterans of World War I and
World) War II are expected to be
among the first to buy a poppy on
Poppy Day, ,Saturday, 'May 26,- ac-
cording to T. 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."

Our Country ,4F Right or Wrong

JAPAN!
V-E Day has come and gone. 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

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. Personally, we're go-
ing out and buy several 100-pound
sacks of four :and convert the
sacks into shorts.. Be. nice having
