Says Body 'Did Grand Job As a
Whole'; More than 350 Acts
Have Become Law

More than 350 acts 'of the Flor-
ida legislature became state law
Tuesday with Governor Caldwell's
comment that the 1945 regular ses-
sion "did a grand job as a whole."
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.
Along with the general appro-
priations bill, which sets up nearly

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.

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.

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,

The brunette team. was made up,
of: Miss Emily Ogilvie, ss; Miss

Ib; Miss Jewel Covington, p; Mrs.

2b; Miss Marguerite Williams, c;
Mrs. Colleen Owens, If; Mrs. Julia.
Creech, cf; Mrs. Marigene Taln-
ton, rf; Mrs. George McLawhon,
cf; Paul Fensom, 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-

Progress of Timber,

Grazing and Game

Idea Holds promise

State-Wide Program, Partially In
Effect In Gulf County, Bodes
Well For Agriculture

IProgress and increasing interest
in the timber-grazing-game pro-
gram bode well for the future of
Florida agriculture. 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.
If this program is 'widely de-
veloped over the state-and the
indications are now quite promis-
ing-it will not only mean larger
-income. from the land during the
next few years, but it will also
mean that the land will be im-
proved as time goes on. In other
words, it will increase the future
production possibilities of the land'.
War needs are, calling., for enor-
mous quantities of forest products
and even though efforts are being
made to cut only the trees that
should be cut according to good

LEGISLATURE PROVED TO BE
A "TAX AND SPEND" GROUP
'The 1945 legislature proved to
be a "tax and spend" group, for


they levied $26,500,000 in new
taxes and approved expenditures
of $4.300,000 more thaf 'that and
dipped! into the $10,000,000 general
revenue balance on hand in A-pril
to pass out $3,700,000 in deficiency
appropriations and extra current
expenses. This did not include the
cost, of the session, nor does; it
cover costs of the extra session,
which is, estimated at $2000 daily.
forestry management, it is inevit-
able that many will tbe removed
that must be replaced. 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.

'Tipperary'

(Continued from Page 1)

"The Frenchmen sneaked me
out of the barn, and covered me
with hay in a wagon, and then,
drove to the railway station. 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.

YOU LOOK AT IT!

M AYBE you won't thank us for
reminding you of the H C of L. But
it doesn't seem nearly so high when
you look at it in the light of your
electric bill!


Almost alone among household necessities, the price of electricity
hos not spiraled upward with war. In fact, we have. reduced both
residential and commercial rates. since the war began.
That's especially good pews now, but it continues a long-time trend.
Electric prices have been coming down so steadily that THE AVER-
AGE FAMILY IN THIS TERRITORY GETS ABOUT TWICE AS
MUCH ELECTRICITY FOR ITS MONEY TODAY AS IT DID 15
YEARS AGO.
If our bill is no' smaller, it's because you're using more electricity
to do more jobs than you did then. But the saving is THERE.
It has been accomplished in spite of rising costs and taxes-on top
of huge war demands for service that were met without delay, shost-
age or rationing.
It was done by efficiency and experience and sound BUSINESS
management-by the same American enterprise which built our
notion and on which its futewe depends.

KiWANIS NEWS

Anyone who might be inclined to
think that it isn't hot weather in
the rear of the power company of-
fice on a summer night should
have been on hand the other eve-
ning when Welton Roche as-
sembled his bundling (sometimes
bungling) crew of Kiwanlans and
tied up the collection of clothing
for United Nations Relief. Welton
said he had no idea we had so
much energy until he saw it melt-
ing off us. The committee reports
that something like 3200 pounds
of clothing was shipped from Gulf
county. Nice going, Welton and
Bob Mize on the shipping job. .
Nice going, too, all you workers
who made this collection possible.
We agree it was no one- or two-
man job.
Cub Scouts from Kenney's Mill
are Inviting another den from town
to an outing next Wednesday eve-
ning. The 'local pack is in some-
thing of a dilemma since "Chuck"
Gibson announced that he will have.
to relinquish 'the job of cubmaster.
Those of us who were fortunate
enough to hear the fine concert
rendered' by the young people's
choir of the Baptist Church Sun-
day evening enjoyed a rare treat.
Few of us realize the fact that we
have a wealth of talent among our
young people right here in Port
St. Joe, and we need the oppor-
tunity to hear them more often.
They deserve all the support and
encouragement we can give them.
Enough praise cannot possibly be
given to the song and band 'direc-
tors who are doing such a fine
job. for the boys and girls. And
that was also a humdinger of a
concert put on by the band at the
bond' rally Tuesday night.
We are approaching 'the half-way
mark in bond purchases in Gulf
county, and it's going to take lots
more effort on the part of the "E"
bond buyers more "cans" than
