JOE, FLORIDA Hardy Crew Will Sail Yacht Here From Jax "Oh, a sailing we will go, A sail- ing we will go," was the song on the lips of a. hardy crew of mari- ners who left here by truck Tues- day night for Jacksonville to bring back, via the inland waterway, a small yacht recently purchased by C. G. Costin. All members of the crew were picked for their specialized, tasks. Capt. Robert Tapper will be the skipper; Cecil Costin, first mat@;, B. A. Pridgeon, chief engineer; C. A. McClellan, chief .cook and' bottle washer; B. A. Prid-geon Jr., mess boy; Ohauncey Costin and Cecil Costin Jr., deck hands. Unless these doughty sailors get lost on the way, they expect to circumnavigate the statee of Flor- ida in about ten days. So every- one is urged to be on watch about Saturday week 'to be the first to shout "Sail1 ho!" as the vessel en- ters St. Joseph Bay.

Governor Urges Completion of War Fund Drive Gulf County Chairman Asks. That All Pledges, and Contributions Be Turned In Quickly iChairman. Harry McKnight, who. heads the War Fund Drive in Gulf county, Monday received a tele- gram from Governor Millard Cald- well, state chairman of the Na- tional War Fund,, urging that t-he drive here be brought to a conc'u- sion as quickly as possible. The governor's telegram follows: "Needi for successful' conclu- sion of your National War Fund campaign made more urgent in reccent request from General MacArthur for 80 additional USO campp show units to be sent into Pacific to entertain troops in oc- cupation of Japan and elsewhere. Also need for USO services ad- jacent to some 500 veterans' ho>- pitals. Sincerely hope you and committee will bring Gulf county--, campaign to 'total victory at earliest possible date." Chairman McKniight states that the Gulf county War Fund drive is barely past 'the half-way mark, lbut he believes our quota can be at- tained if every worker contacts& all citizens in their areas and if po- tential givers make their contribu- tions and fulfilll their pledges. "The majority of our citizens al- ready have made their gifts," he said, "but the,,,e rre :o ... ir_;,., mnor who have not." St. Joe Sharks Lose To Bainbridge 31 To 13 The St. Joe Sharks went down to defeat before Bainbridge last Friday by a 31-1-3 score in a fast and rough grid game. The local team received the kickoff and carried the ball back 30 yard's before being stopped. Bainbridge then took the pigskin and shoved it over for the first touchdown, but failed to convert. Jack "Moose" R.icketson chalked. up the first score for St. Joe with a beautiful 70-yard run. Chuck Gibson applied his specialty of pass receiving for the second touchdown andi converted for ex- tra point. The team played an excellent game of ball despite the fact that a number of veterans were forced out by injuries during the early stages of the tilt. The Sharks play at Apalachi- cola today in their second meeting with Chapman high this season.

Our Country Right or Wrong r~ ' RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE As a country turns toward socialistic prac- tices, the ultimate goal is always the sociliza- tion of land. We saw this in Russia, and now in staid old England, which in its last elec- tion voted definitely for socialization of bank- ing, mining and railroads, it is rumored that plans are underway for a beginning in the dividing up of land. Here in the United States, while we have felt secure in the private ownership of prop- erty, we have fostered gigantic plans for the federal socialization of electric power and many other activities. There is now "politi- cal" pressure for federal housing, federal fi- nancing of every kind, federal medical atten- tion, and even federal feeding of many per- sons. All this will supplant private enterprise and state and local governmental authority in looking after the needs of local citizens. Now comes the inevitable-suggestions for government ownership of land in the United States. Of course it is just a small cloud on the horizon at present, but so was govern- ment in other lines of business a few short years ago. With so many other nations defi- nitely committed to socialization, and with strong political pressure in our own country along those lines, landowners who have smugly sponsored socialization of other ac- tivities, can well begin to consider to what extent they will be permitted to enjoy the private ownership of land in the years ahead. When a nation starts socializing its natural resources, land is the kingpin of them all. So don't be overcomplacent with your belief that it can't happen here-it is happening here, right under your nose, and coming closer to your own hearthstone every day. The $5 federal auto use-tax has been abol- ished effective July 1946. We paid it for use of our cars when we couldn't use them be- cause of gasoline and tire shortages ; now that we can get plenty of gas and an occasional tire to again use our cars, the use-tax is repealed. Looks like it wans't so much a use- tax as it was a tax on not being able to use the taxed article. A Boston physician says cabbage is good for the stomach and aids tired nerves. He didn't mention taking it into the system by way of these cigars we're getting nowadays.

VETERANS' LAND LAW CALLED 'IDLE GESTURE' Commissioner of Agriculture Na- than Mayo said Tuesday that the 1945 legislative act granting 40- acre homesteads to Florida veter- ans was "simply an idle gesture" because they wouldn't have the available land' allowed by the act. The law provides that any vet- eran of World War II may apply for and, receive a 40-acre home- stead' on wild and vacant state land but it must be arable and he must live. on it and' improve it for three years from 90 days after he gets it. "We haven't got 40 acres in th' state of Florida they'd have," said Mayo.

It'd be a heap more pleasant fer him ifen he did'it have to wave you over to the road- side. He gits no commission per arrest-it jest makes him more work, more reports. I know one o' these guys he looks after traffic up and 'down our highways here in Gulf county ('course he don't git down here in the Swamp lessen he's goin' fish- in')-he's a regular gentleman--but also he ain't no sissy.

Apalachicola, and this will prob- ably be a fast game, as Chapman defeate-d St. Joe in their first tilU. Some excitement was provided last week by a wildcat that de- cidied to crawl under the building and die. For a couple of days it smelled like an army of skunks until the source was discovered. It was found directly under the senior home' room, and some catty junior made 'the remark that 'bird's of a feather flock together." Miss Katherine Nix is taking a short vacation from the daily rou- tine of pounding our skulls and other places and has gone home 'to see her brother who has just ract'ind from the wars. The rope on the flagpole had to be replaced twice during the week of Hallowe'en after vandals cut it into small pieces. We needed a new rope, anyway, and Prof Big- gart just couldn't remember to get one. The school thanks those who cut the old one down and provided 14r. Biggart with a reminder. Mrs. E. Clay Lewis Jr., is in our rowdy midst substituting for Miss Nix. Speaking of juniors, one of them conjugated the verb "freeze" as freeze, froze, frizen, while another conjugated "dive" as dive. dove. diven. Even a frosh knows that It is dive, div, dove. ACL OFFICIAL OPPOSES TAKING OVER OF FEC LINE BY DuPONT INTERESTS At a hearing held in Washing- ton Tuesday the interstate com- merce commission was, asked to authorize unification of the Florida East Coast' Railway and the Atlan- tic Coast Line Railroad. Frank D. Lemmon, ACL vice- president and secretary, in testi- fying, said that unification of the two carriers will be 'in the public' interest and that the reorganiza- tion 1plan already approved'by the commission would place control or the Florida East Coast in the St. Joe Paper Company, which he said was controlled. by the Alfred I. duPont estate. He averred that such control would not be in the public interest. Senator Claude Pepper is using his senatorial position to intercede on behalf of the ACL, but being in Europe at the present time on a tour at the expense of the taxpay- e.rs, he was not present at the hearing Tuesday, but expects to be on hand for the final hearing to be held shortly in West Palm Beach..
