"Bull" Halsey received photo- graphers, and for their benefit used a bayonet to slice a cake iced to represent a Japanese flag. The surrender terms were signed, sealed and delivered by the mikado's representa- tives: But Halsey was unhappy. He was about to go into Japan and nearly everybody ex- pected that he would make an appearance in the Flowery Kingdom aboard the emperor's white horse. The admiral's desk was stacked high with attaboyy" letters, and from Texas had come a pair of spurs. On its way from Reno was a $2000 saddle. The old sea dog moaned. "I'm not trying to alibi a silly statement," he said, "but I can't ride. Oh, why didn't I keep my big mouth shut ?" As he spoke, there was a lot of commotion. A destroyer-transport h'ad come alongside, put a big- packing .case into a sling, sent it over 'to the "Missouri." Yep, you've guessed it-it ,was the saddle !

STARDUST and MOONSHINE Well, here we are, back home again after making a circuit of the state in nine days and covering 1732 miles-and' did that paper mill look good to us as we cam9 rolling into town Sunday afternoon on our retreads. Our tour took us to St. Augus- tine, via Gainesville and Palatka, thence down the coast through Daytona Beach to Miami. Only trouble we had in that neck of the woods, was one flat and some uni- versal joint trouble due to the fact that W. M. Howell, who is sup- posed to keep our wreck running, forgot to put grease in them., From Miami we rolled on down to Key West over the Overseas Highway andt ran into some real squally weather-in fact, we were almost sure that the wind which accompanied bhe rain would blow us right off that seven-mile 'bridge. Rain dogged us almost all the way from Vero Beach to Key West and back to Tampa, but the sun mae- aged to break through occasion- ally and' we hope we got some good moving pictures of the breath- taling drive over the Gulf. After we hit the Tamiami Trail above, Homestead one of our rear retreads blew out way out there in the middle of the Everglades, f'r which we duly cussed Red Hor- ton, as he was the guy that done the. retread joib. After considerable DON'T THROW AWAY THE KEY The termination of the war did not bringI a cleancut victory to the United Nations. The avowed objective of freedom from political oppression for which the war was fought is less i4 evidence today than at any previous time, not excluding the era of Hitler. The United States now stands alone as.the cham- pion of individual enterprise and the exponent of government as the servant rather than the master of the people. Over most of the world peoples numbed by suffering, seem anxious to become charges of masterful governments. The United States remains the one great nation with production and distribution un- der the ownership and management of private citizens. Thanks to this system, our farmers and factories, our retailer's and workers- tens of millions of them-can make a living independent of government. As long as they can do that they need never fear political op- pression. The privilege of earning a living unsupported by government handouts and re- sultant political "persuasion" is the key to freedom. The people of Europe-have thrown away this key. Even in England and France, the key is being turned over to government. Let's not throw away the key to freedorn in our own country. Private enterprise, which socialists destroys, may have its drawbacks. But its shortcomings can always be cor- rected. Private enterprise is the source of in- dependent j.obs-for employer and employee alike. As long as private enterprise exists, government payrolls can be kept to a healthy minimum, and we can tell officialism to go to blazes, without fear of the consequences. Now that the war is over, many carless per- sons are hoping to buy a jeep. Cost of these versatile vehicles if and when they are placed on the civilian market-has not yet been decided. However, we can be sure they will be jeep at any price.-Miami Post. Labor Day took 296 lives. That's mixing fatality with fun. Let 'em strike all they want to now.

We finally located the' nursery about 10 miles out of town and, drove in, expecting to find Louis shoving a tractor about among the orange trees. But come to find out, he was working at the gunnery field andl his wife, Ouida, was employed at the welfare of- fice. We hung around and finally the two of 'em came home-and are they fat! Louis is in charge of the steam boilers at the, mesh halls on the gunnery field' and says he samples all the food to be sure it is up to standard. "But af- ter the eighth slice of pie," he said, "a guy sorta loses his appe- tite." Ouid'a didn't explain how she acquired that extra poundage. Anyway, we came away with a big sack of assorted citrus fruits that the Perritts forced on us (it really didn't take much forcing).

POST-WAR FLYING IN YOUR HOME TOWN By C. C. CAMPBELL, Member, Aviation Writers B- y < C. C. lClAlMJPELL, A ...ociation, Washington, D. C. Determining Local Needs Very community, sooner or later, will need an airpark or other land- ing facility for airplanes. Progres- sive communities, eager to be in the vanguard, are making their plans now. But many towns and neigh- borhoods are baffled as to how they should proceed. , This confusion is natural, for the construction of landing facilities is quite a new venture in most small towns. Heretofore, apart from "cow pasture airports," air terminals and fields were felt to be part of big city development. Personal flying is going to change all that. Soon your neighbor and mine will own his own plane.' He will expect that his community be as progressive as others in pro- viding the necessary landing facili- could le when personal flying ex- pands that area by many miles. Another factor would be a check- up of present owners of airplanes and those whp plan to buy one. Recent surveys showed that in large cities a considerable percentage of families in financial position to buy a plane, intended to do so. It is probable that the same, ratio would apply to smaller communities. It might even be larger because per- sonal flying will offer much more to the resident of a small town or rural section.- A questionnaire sent to all residents in town and in the sur- rounding area should give 'a fairly good idea of how many planes will be locally owned. The geographic location of a com- munity and its relation to surround- ing cities is important in judging whether or not airline or feeder air- Main street of a typical American community of 1,225 population. Its future growth and importance will be greatly affected by personal flying in the post-war period. ties. Local businessmen will not want to see their town lag behind other communities in initiating air traffic from other sections. In developing a plan for commu- nity airparks it is only logical first to determine the need. This cannot be judged by the present situ- ation. Planners must look ahead and try to arrive at an estimate ot what the community's air require- mrents will be a few years hence. While this might seem difficult, common sense should indicate most of the possibilities. First, for instance, is a determi- nation of the population and scope of the area to be served. In large cities this may be a neighborhood. In smaller communities a town's air- park may not only be a local public improvement, it may also serve as the aviation center for miles around. Thus a community's pres- ent position as a trading center might be used as a guide to what it line services might' be encouraged by suitable facilities. Businessmen can estimate the possible volume of mail and express shipments by air. Potential tourist and recreational trade can be judged by the com- munity's assets in that particular and their possible' development when air travel would bring many more people to enjoy them. Local hotel registers will reveal the num- ber of businessmen from other points whose repeated visits might indicate the amount of commercial air travel to be expected. It is an interesting and instructive proceeding to find out what one's ow.-n community has to offer as an air center. it is pointed out by the Personal Aircraft Council of the Aircraft Industries Association of America. This is the fifth of a series of articles on post-war flying and its effect on community life. The next article. "Locating an Airpark," will appear in an early issue.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER .14, 1945, Florida Power Head Predicts Great Industrial Progress After War A glowing word picture of the future industrial possibilities of Florida including a far reaching development o f its natural re- sources was painted by President Higgins of the Florida Power Cor- poration in an interview with a Jacksonville Times-Union re- porter while on a business trip to Jacksonville recently. The story widely quoted by newspaper and business magazines throughout the state. We are pleased to present ex- cerpts of the artiol". Declaring that Florida "is 'the last frontier state of the Atlantic seaboard/' Mr. Higgins predicted unparelleled industrial expansion immediately after the war. H.e declared that the industrial world has its eyes on Florida "as never before" and qualified, this statement by stating that Florida is now receiving more inquiries from industrialists "as never be- fore in my memory." To support his statements Mr. Higgins met a former New York advertising executive who is in RON HAUTEY CUBAN RUM 89 PROOF Was $4.66 3.25 HAVANA CLUB Puerto Rican Rum $3.25 86 Proof Was $4.21.

In further substantiation of his claims for an industrialized, Floi- ida, Mr. Higgins pointed out that, the National Research Corporation h as perfected a formula to turn orange juice, as well as other cit- rus fruits, into powder form ana has started construction of a plant in this state that will eventually cost $2,500,000. Mr. Higgins has long been an advocate of a plan for the "aerlai irrigation" of citrus- crops, as well as other plants. His plan, as out- lined consists of standpitpes about 25 feet albhoe the ground that will support revolving nozzles to water citrus groves. "By this method t h e groves would, receive irrigation as near as possiible to rain." he said. "It has been proven in .South America that this type of irrigation results in a high increase in the yield. In addition, t h e groves could be sprayed with insecticides by mix- ing the ingredients with water. Rare elements already known to be beneficial to plants, also could be sprayed over the trees and plants in the same manner. "Our clays and, climate make for better ceramics, the cattle and tan- ning industry should be further de- veloped, oil refineries with their h uig e factories for by-products, plants for the (manufacture ot white newsprint paper are but a few of the opportunities open for Florida in the post-war period." IMr. Higgins said that a nation- ally known fruit company has closed negotiations in Florida to conduct experiments, with the aerial irrigation method. He said that the .plan is "logica'l'ly sound" and should result in an increase in the fruit and citrus industry "staggering to the imagination."
