Most of the bills which went into the larw books without the governor's signature of approval or disapproval were measures of local application. They included, however, the $27,469,395 general appropriations, bill for paying ex- penses of 'the state's departments and agencies during the next two years.

Our Country "Right or Wreng 7--- PAPER TERROR Tokyo is a smouldering wasteland. The palace of the Japanese emperor is reported to be considerably battered. Great industrial cities like Nagoya, Yokohama and Kobe -are being flattened by American bombers with their loads of blockbusters and incendiaries. Yet it is paper--plain, ordinary paper like that turned out by the St. Joe Paper Comne pany, made from pulpwood-that is striking deepest terror ini the hearts of the Japanese warlords. , In a home-service broadcast, addressed to the Japanese people and picked up by Ameri- can listening posts, the Japanese procurator general was heard to say: "The enemy has recently been dropping in earnest on various areas, bombs and leaflets which can be called' paper bombs. The leaflets are all aimed at causing anti-war thoughts and antagonism among the military, governmental and civilian people. Those who pick these up will please hand them in immediately to the nearest po- lice station. It is necessary that every indi- vidual make himself fight against them with strong nerves." Only a great fear could have prompted such a broadcast. It is fear born of truth, and theo realization that the truths expressed in those leaflets could break the chains that bind the ignorant Japanese people to slavery. So pulpwood products are performing a- multiple .mission in this war. Pulpwood is providing the paper with which to wrap, pack and tag the supplies sent to our fighting forces. It is furnishing the smokeless powder with which Japan's great cities are being smashed, and it is providing the 'paper bombs" which are destroying Japanest militarism from within. It is stated that in some places on the Mississippi River the moccasins are so numer- ous the frogs jump backward into the bushes instead of toward the water. Keep smiling-and Buy Bonds! CLOSED SHOP BAN DECLARED VALID A three-judge federal court in session Monday at Tampa held Florida's. anticlosed! shop constitu- tional amendment was not in vio- lation of the federal constitution. In a unanimous opinion, the court said the amendment voted by Flor- idlians was, an appropriate exer- cise of the police power of the state. It dismissed a temporary injunc- tiol granted March 19 on petition of the American Federation of La- bo.r and 56 affiliated unions against enforcement of the amend- ment by the state attorney gen- eral. Labor unions had contended that the amendment was in viola- tion of Article I of the federal con- stitution prohibiting any state from passing any law impairing the ob- ligation of contracts. The amendment, adopted by voters of the, state last fall, pro- vides that a man shall have the OUR SOLDIERS CAN TAKE IT Will our soldiers in the European theater be returned to their native land immediately (barring time for policing Germany) or will they be transferred to the Asiatic .fr6nt with- out being given a chance of a furlough home? These are questions of tremendous import- ance to both the soldiers and to their families. Some argue that the soldiers would find it easier to be transferred direct to the Asiatic front while they are still in. military harness than to be furloughed home for 30 days, only to be transferred then across the Pacific to fight the Japs. The American soldier, time out of mind, has held it to be his inalienable privilege and right to gripe when conditions did not suit him. This question of what is going to be his fate now that the European war has ended, he feels, comes under that category. There is much to be said for his argument that, after having risked his health, limbs and life itself in fighting the Hun, if he has beep so lucky as to escape uninjured, he should not be put in jeopardy a second time. While the soldier of the United States may gripe when he feels he is being unjustly treated, nevertheless, once he is convinced that the orders given him are based on justice and the best interests of his country, he is ever ready to shoulder any added burden which. the authorities may ask him to assume. This is all part of the American tradition. Much as soldiers hate war, they recognize that they are all citizens of a free republic and, as such, they do not have to be driven with threat of whip, spur or bayonet in order to do their duty. It is their full wish to carry their share of the load in preserving their country and their homes. That is why Amer- ica is strong, and America will remain strong so long as that point of view prevails. Present indications are that the best brains in this country are keenly aware that they must find a solution to the various compli- cated problems that plague the world and this country. The GI Joes on every battle front have ;done their part. The civilian population on the home front has done its part. Similar co-operation in peacetime will result in bring- ing prosperity and .happiness to people at home and abroad. The present world up- heaval has cost too much in blood, sacrifice and money not to have,a better world evolve from the ruins. No doubt it will take time. The achievements of this war must add up to a postwar world that will yield some compen- sation. Money doesn't necessarily mean happiness for its possessor. It is very debatable whether a person having $20,000,000 is any happier than the person having $19,000,000. Speed the day when a man will pay as much attention to his own body as he does to his auto body. right to. work whether he belongs to a labor union or not, and pro- hibits employers from making union or nonunion affiliation f condition of employment.

As the bids were. getting rather low at this stage, it was decided! to hold a number of other articles for another auction later on. Auctioneers were Glenn Boyles, Harry McKnight and B. B. Conk- lin, ably assisted in ballyhooing by Jimmy Greer. ,Main feature of the evening, and probably the one that really drew the crowd, was a ladies' three-inn- ing softball- game -between blondes 'and brunettes which resulted in a score of 11 to 5 in favor of the dark-haired' girls. The blonde team was made up as follows: Mrs. Mildred Kenning- ton, c; Miss Marylyn Rowan, p; Mrs. Nell Mitchell, Ib; Mrs. Mil- dred Mira, 3b; Mrs. Jeff Plair, sf; Miss Dorothy Trawick, ms; Mrs. -Lamar Miller, rf; Mrs. Eubanke, 2b; Mrs. Homer Stokes,- cf; -Mise Lois Manasco, If; Joe Gloekler, manager.

Following the auction, a three- inning exhibition game-was played 'by Rotarians and Kiwanians,, with. Capt. Robert Tapper and, Charley McClellan as the star players. We never did find' out what the final score was. Another attraction of the eve- ning was a number of selections played by the high school band. SHORT COURSE (Continued from Page 1) Resumed after, a lapse Of three years, the short course provided a. week of special instruction in gar- dening, canning, nutrition, poultry, safety, self-improvement and per- sonal grooming, music, clothing, care of the sick, posture, exterior and, interior home improvement, conducting a 4-H Club, and news reporting. It contained a number of inspirational and recreational features also. Centered around the theme; "Florid'a 4-H girls .at work for worthwhile living," the course gave. the girls both inspiration and training to return to their counties and assist their club members in rendering even larger wartime service to their country in the months ahead. Both the girls and their leaders saw demonstrations in the utiliza- tion of fruits with small quantities of sugar, the weaving of rugs, tex- tile painting with stencils and screens, making feather comfort- ers,' making butter and ice cream, killing and dressing chickens, and other practical and timely subjects.

The plan is state-wide in scope and in Gulf county a number of ,ranchers and landowners are co-operating to the fu'lest extent in developing the program here. The program, developed and proposed to Florida landowners three years ago by Louis T. NIe- land, agricultural extension serv- ice forester, has attracted wide- spread attention from farmers, cattlemen and other landowners of this state and also from foresters in this and many other states. It is only logical that it should meet with favor by landowners, for its primary purpose is to In- crease the value of the land and the products that come from the land now and, in the future. In a nutshell, the idea is to utilize the" land for the purpose to which it is best suited. Some land is more suited to cul- tivation than other land, some is more suited to forests and game, and some is more suited to live- stock production. Many farmers have all three types on their farms. To realize maximum benefits and profits from all the land by de- voting the different types to their best possible purposes Is the aim of the program.

The exten- sion program provides for replac- ing these trees, and also for plant- ing hundreds of thousands of trees on lands which are now bare but which could produce good forest growth. It also provides for continued development and improvement of lands best suited to forests and game and the lands that are best 1 suited to grazing. Demonstration areas, embracing the purposes of the program have been established in many counties and farmers in other .counties are approving the idea and planning on similar developments. This trend bodes well for the future of Florida agriculture. METHODIST CHURCH Rev. 0. D. Langston.

The driver stopped near the station ana' the four Frenchmen with me went to the station and bought tickets for Paris-and one for me. "Soon the train for Paris came along and we boarded it without incident. We took our places in the crowded car. I tried to be as nonchalant and as (French as' pos- sible. which was a hard thing to dio as I rubbed elbows, with Ger- man soldiers and SiS troopers. "The train was well on its way to Paris. The Frenchman seated beside me w as talking with a con-- rade. I leaned back, and began congrautaltin.g myself on. a nice stroke of luck. 'Hell,' I thought. with the help of the underground I should be o-ut of France and back in England in'a onuple of weeks.' "Lost in my thoughts, my ears suddenly picked up a song some- one was whistling across the aisle 'from me. It was 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary.' Unconsciously 1 looked up and, turned slightly, to see who might be whistling the song. "That's all I. had to do. A French woman was, doing the whistling. I didn't realize it until a few min- utes later when a German soldier tapped me on the shoulder and told me I was under arrest. The woman was a spy in the employ of the Germans. She rode the trains and if she saw anyone who, looked like an English or Ameri- can flier dressed in, French clothes she started whistling a song fa- miliar to them. Invariably, the fliers would look to see who was whistling the song. It was, a dead giveaway. In a matter of seconds the woman would signal a, i , soldier andl the'.fliers were cap- tured.. "Anyway. when the German sol- d(ier tapped me on the shoulder, I tried to play the string out. i handed him my 'ticket. He mean business. He scowled, waved the ticket aside and ordered me to 'march!' "The incident had aroused the French in the car. Someone point- ed out the woman who had given me away. As I was leaving I turned and saw several women spitting at her and the men calling her vile names,. What happened after that I don't know." After being taken from the train Lt. Goldlenberg was grilled by the gestapo and then given. 30 days in solitary confinement. He then was sent to Stalag Luf't 3 in Sagan, (Germany--one of the immense air force prisoner of war camps. On January f4. 1945, he was moved to Stalag 1.3-D in Nurniberg, since the Russians were advancing rapidly. He states that life at Nurnberg; "was hell." with little food and practically no medical attention. There was no fuel and in a despei- ate effort to keep warm the pris- oners began ripping the barracks apart for fuel. The prisoners were moved to an- other .camp at Mooseberg as the American armies neared) Nurnberg and Lt. Goldlenberg was 'there on April 29 when cavalary reconnals- sance units of the 14th Armorea Division bariel.ed down the road, blew in the gates and released the thousands of prisoners. "When those recon men came into Moosb6rg." said Goldenlberg. "'we really mobbed them. You could 'aunmh a ship in the tears we shed." Lt. Goldrenberg's mother visited here last January with Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Schneider while her son was still a PW at Sagan.
