Over Pervades Town; Many Offer Up Prayers for Speedy Return of Our Men and Women In the Armed Services As word came over the radio at 6 o'clock Tuesday night an- nouncing the unconditional surrender of Japan, the people of Port St. Joe, while feeling jubilant and elated over the matter, remained calm, and no wild demonstrations were staged. True, two or three cars raced down the main streets with horns blowing, but outside of that there was little to break the al- most sabbatical calm of the afternoon. Small groups gathered on the streets, joyously shook hands and talked over calmly what was probably one of the greatest events of history to occur during their lifetime. Bar rooms closed their doors immediately as the fire siren sounded the glad tidings, and remained closed: until Thursday morning, The churches of the city were thrown open to the public, and many gathered tooffer up prayers of thanksgiving that the war had ended and that soon our men and women in the armed services would be coming home.

The strange sense of unreality that came with the announcement of the atomic bomb- ing of two Japanese cities has passed. At that time it seemed as if the funnypapers had opened up, and that all of its weird fantasies had suddenly come to life. Today, after sober reflection, we know that Flash Gordon and Superman are right back in the funnies where they belong, and most of us are back again in this world, facing the same old realities that we have come to know so well. ., No one in his right mind can deny the im- pprtance of the atom bomb. No one can doubt the achievement of those scientists who have succeeded in harnessing atomic energy. Nor is there any doubt as to .the enormous pros- pect that has. been opened up to future peace- time generations at a result of their work, though we of today may realize little benefit from it due to the fact that there still re- mains to be combatted the lethal threat of secondary radiation.

YOUR HEALTH The way we look at it, the world is. not yet ready for atomic power. It might mean, in the hands of .some, Utopia and in the hands of the unscrupulous either the enslave- ment of the human race for the benefit of a select few, or, should another war ensue, the entire elimination of civilization as we know it today and the sterilization of vast stretches of the earth where nothing could grow and no person could live. For good or for worse, now that we have it, atomic power apparently is here to stay, and it is in the hands of the gods. Let us hope that it will be used for the benefit of the human race and not for its elimination. Well, it has come at last. According to the papers, Detroit men are forced to wear ladies' panties.

C. On the. Air IMap America has become air con- scious. Under the impetus of war, aviation has advanced further than it might in several decades in nor- mal times. Realizing this, town of- ficials and civic minded citizens everywhere wonder just how and where, their communities will fit in the postwar air picture. First necessary step, it is general- ly understood, is to provide facili- Warres- Knob Dresden bu" foNoster 0A A wourstE*rar Sedaia T on ARrA Callla Willor W Ver illes '11ony Ai Gravis Ellon Warsaw Mi ds .

But airports are known to be costly to build and operate. Me- dium-sized and' small communities feel that such installations are be- yond their reach. If the term "airport" is used in its usual significance as,a terminus for commercial airlines this may well be true. It is because "airport" ---3 " is too general a term and does not allow for distinctions as to size and type of landing facility, that it has now become necessary to provide other designations. Thus the Personal Aircraft Coun- cil of the Aircraft Industries Asso- ciation of America has suggested that facilities suitable for small com- munities, 6r for neighborhood land- ing areas in large cities be called airparks. Intermediate landing places between cities, probably spaced at intervals where distances are great, are to be termed flight- stops. Towns or communities that have adjacent bays, rivers or lakes upon which' aerial watercraft or am- phibian planes could land, may be interested in establishing air harbors. Showing that towns may easily be linked to world airways and pointing out that "the airplane has come to Main Street," the Council has' pre- pared an illustrated booklet entitled "Put Your Town on the Air Map," for free distribution to community officials and planning groups. It explains why the community which has no provisions to accom- modate personal aircraft will be passed by in the air age. Whereas rails, roads and docks have built successful communities in the past, landing facilities for private planes as well as for feeder or area type transport planes will pace the growth of communities in the future. In the plans and diagrams includ- ed it is emphasized that no commu- nity is too small for an airpark or similar landing facility; that the size and cost can be regulated according to the needs of the community or its potentialities; and that airparks eventually may pay their way, both directly and indirectly. This is the third of a series of articles on post-war flying and its effect on community, life. The next article, "The Aviation Committee" will ap- pear in an early issue. WILLING.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1945 State Has Great Possibilities In. Ramie Growing Plant May Revolutionize Textile Industry When Quantity Pro- ductior Ils Reached By RUSSELL KAY For over ten years the writer has been pointing, out the enormous agricultural and commercial possi- bilities offered, in the development of ramie in Florida. It is gratifying to note that the Research Department of the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of Atlanta re- cently took cognizance of these opportunities and published in its )monthly review one of the most complete and comprehensive ar- ticles on the subject that I have yet seen., It points out that at the present time 1600 acres have been planted In this state and, 10,000 acres have been set aside for additional plant- Ing. Ramie is a fiber-producing p'ant that promises to revolutionize the textile industry when quantity pro- adction is reached. It is truly a wonder fiber. /Its. tensile strength is four times that of hemp and nearly eight times that of silk. Its unusual strength and toughness make it the most durable fiber Available today and fabrics made frof it wear like iron. In tests ra- mie fabric was, laundered 150 times, creased and recreatediin the same place hundreds of times and yet when examined through a mi- croscope, showed, no breakage of fibers or anyi evidence of wear. Another amazing quality of ramie is it's behavior in water. It is mo'i absorbent than cotton and instead 'of losing strength when. wet ac- thally becomes from 30 to 60 per cent stronger.' It dries more rapidly than either flax or cotton abd Is highly resistant to rot and mildew. When thoroughly cleaned the fi'oei is pure white without bleaching and possesses a silklike luster and texture. It dies beautifully and can be spun, woven or knit on standard textile machinery. The uses for this fiber seem to be almost limitless. It can be spun ,Into the sheerest gossamer-lixe fabric or made into the coarsest kind of cloth. It is far superior to any other material for packing and other maritime ua s e s. Halyards made from it and cordage excel be- cause of its freedom from shrink- age and greater strength.

State Has More Cash On Hand Than Ever Before iState Comptroller J. M. Lee re- ported thing week that the state has more money' on hand in the various funds than ever',before in her history and is in excellent fi- nhacial condition.

'Greatest .interest is being taken in the seven wells of the Humble Oil Company in Collier county. Humbel's No. 1 well, which got the .state's $50,0.00 prize, for the first producer in Florida, is pumping about 20 barrels a day, Nos. 2 and 3 have 'been shut down, and No. 4, the best producer to date, is producing 275 barrels of 19.2 .grav- ity oil on pump (the oil has to be separated from salt 'water). 'Three other wells are being drilled in the area, No. 7, which is two miles north of No. 4, is now down about 3600 feet. A well being sunk in Highlands county (slightly off the axis line) is down about 10,000 feet, but has nbot yet shown any indications ot black gold.
