Highland View Residents Plan To Incorporate Decision Made At Meeting Held Sunday.; Electiondf' " For March 30 At a meeting of interested citi- zens held Sunday at Highland View plans were, outlined, to hold an election on Saturday, March 30 for the purpose of incorporating that hamlet, selecting a mayor, city council, city clerk and marshall. The majority of those attending t the meeting were in favor of the plan. T'he proposed corporate limits Mavor Soule then rose to his feet and said, "This is something I have not expected but I will undertake to /do the best I can and I hope and know the other members of this board will add their wholehearted snp port to w' "j n.Ml'.iiake to do. .iT" can't 1"De-. fill ta.'h. rh .e3. of Mr. Sharit, but I ki_,A' that if anything comes up I will not hesi- tate to call upon hin for help, and- I-know the other members of the commission will back us to the full. "That is about all I have -to say at this time, except that I hope the people will continue to come to future meetings in as great numbers as they have tonight." The matter of appointing city employes then was brought up 'by Mayor Soule, that of city attorney being the first. Commissioner Mi- nus nominated E. Clay Lewis, the nomination was seconded 'by Com- missioner Sharit, and Lewis was unanimously chosen by the board as city attorney. Naming of -a municipal judge was next in order, and Lewis' was nominated by Commissioner Conk- in, seconded by Commissioner Sharit. Attorney Lewis said, he had un- derstood his name would be placed in nomination for the judgeship, and, said: "I will accept the post- tion, if appointed, under condition that the office, will be conducted' as I see fit as a judicial office and not subject to the criticism of the city commission, and if criticism should come, I would want it in the form of removal from office. 1 would, not want to accept it as a position for emolument of the city or myself. I could conduct it only .fairly and not with the thought of producing revenue for the city." Commissioner Minus then asked if the judge could, be someone out-. side the 'board. Attorney Lewis, read through that section of the city- charter pertaining to appoint- ment of a municipal judge and in- formed her that there was nothing in the charter requiring that the judge live within the city limits nor be a member of the board, but that the mayor is empowered to act as judge in the absence of the regular appointee.

So we are. All of us are better simply be- cause each 'generation that has ever lived helps to carry forward a torch that blazes the way to more wisdom, tolerance and freedom. Each generation receives a priceless gift from all those who came before. It is the ac- cumulated knowledge and experiences of those who have passed on. And each genera- tion, for its own part, adds something to that knowledge. Then it passes it on to its chil- dren, they to theirs, and so on through time everlasting. Thus, every new-born child today has a head start over his parents. This head start takes many forms, added knowledge learned from newer textbooks, greater opportunities in brand new fields of activity, and higher liv- ing standards that each year bring new con- veniences into the reach of the average family. Few of, us realize that much of this has come about .mainly because of paper. Few ,if us stop to think that the top quality pulpwood that is delivered to the St. Joe Paper Company mill and 'other mills all over the country is the stuff upon which all of mankind has ad- vanced from one generation to the next, from the dawn of history to the present time. Each generation widens its knowledge, de- velops its newly-found resources, finds new uses for paper. Today, for example, the pulp and paper industry is. expanding, even be- fore reconversion has become an accomplished fact, making room for new jobs and, through its war research, offering new pulpwood products to'business and household markets. Without paper, paperboard and other pulp- wood products we would still be living in the dark ages. RESEARCH This country spent two billion dollars and got the atomic bomb. But people still sniff from the common cold, and the scourge of cancer is still a scourge. What would two billion dollars do toward the alleviation of human suffering? What could it do toward a better understanding o'f heart afflictions, nephritis, leukemia, infantile paralysis and other ills? We spend unstintingly for purposes of de- struction, but little opportunity is given to direct our public funds towards research. Isn't this a good time to start in that direction?- Washington (Ia.) Evening'Journal. The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: We sure bin havin' a demonstra- tion of "chickens coming' 'home to Sroost." I got in mind how our Top Boys in Govt. have bin playing' ball with ennybuddy who pops up and RESERVE LAY-UP NO 'GHOST' FLEET Approximately 2000 Liberty ships and other war-built merchant vessels not necessary for peacetime service but too valuable to be scrapped will be placed in a national defense reserve fleet. The existence of these ships, built chiefly as war tools for transporting military supplies, will serve as a powerful de- terrent to future aggressors. The creation of such a strategic reserve fleet that will be used only in a national emer- gency is provided for by congressional action on merchant ship disposal. Our active mer- chant marine will consist of fast, high quality vessels which will be operated on world trade and passenger routes as soon as private ship- ping is re-established. The laidup ships will not constitute a "ghost" fleet such as disfigured so many ot our port areas after World War I. This time vessels will be preserved by a new dehumidi- fication process similar to that being used by the navy at Green Cove Springs, which will insure dry atmosphere within their interiors and thus prevent corrosion. Rust preventative paint will be applied to exteriors. The ships will be carefully guarded against depredation by spoilers -and will be kept in seagoing trim. Specially selected locations are being chosen where layup conditions will be ideal. Local shipyards will be charged with caretaking du- ties. The cost of protecting these vessels, worth over five billion dollars, will be from seven to ten million dollars per year. ROYAL THIEVERY The federal government is suing the state of California to gain possession of her oil tide- lands. Recently the state of Louisiana came to the defense of California, for the reason that Louisiana has the foresight to realize that her own oil tidelands on the Gulf are at stake if California loses the fight with the federal government. It is shortsighted for the various states to noat ,be interested in each other's problems when one is under attack, because each fed- eral encroachment on a state's rights sets a precedent to be extended to all states. So far Louisiana is the only state to make a stand with California to perpetuate ownership of her tidelands, mainly because few states pos- sess such wealth under their tide wate'rs-but they have other wealth that a verdict against California could be stretched to cover. With the possibility that oil may be discovered in Gulf or Franklin counties through the test wells which have been and are being sunk throughout this area, we believe Florida should join in the fight with California and Louisiana, for if the federal government can successfully attack states to secure lands or minerals it may covet, and there is no con- certed opposition, individual states may even- tually find themselves in possession of noth- ing but sand, jackrabbits, palmettos and beach combings. Apparently there will be enough coal to provide coal strikes in this country for some time to come. Scientists predict that it will be seven hundred years before the supply is exhausted.-Titusville Star-Advocate.

R. L. Car- ter for the position, which -was seconded by Chestnut. Upon call of* the roll Commis- sioners Chestnut, Minus and Soule voted- in favor of Carter for judge and Commissioners Sharit and Conklin voted in favor of Attorney Lewis, and Carter was declared ap- pointed as municipal judge. Soule was then nominated as as- sistant judge by Sharit and the, motion was seconded by Chestnut. Before the motion could be voted on, Soule asked' that Lewis be ap- pointed in his stead, as he did not want the job under any circum- stances, as it 'would require his coming to the city hall every Mon- day night and asked that the .com- missi'on excuse him as he felt that he should be at home in the eve- nings to care for his son. Where- upon Sharit withdrew his motion and nominated Chestnut for the position and upon the roll call it was so ordered. Appointment of the city clerk and. auditor was next in order and M. p. Tomlinson was nominated by Sharit, seconded Dy Conklin. The name of G. W. Chambers was then placed in nomination by Mrs. Mi- the March 5 meeting. "I can't con- scientiously vote for anything 1 know nothing about," 'said Soule, "and so I refuse to vote." Attorney Lewis stated, that it could be postponed until the next meeting, as the, matter stood as a tie without the vote of Soule. Appointment of a city treasurer and collector then was brought up and Sharit nominated Tomlinson for the post, seconded by Conklin. 'Mrs. Minus then asked if Cham- bers were named as city clerk would it be necessary to have both Tomlinson and Chambers on the city payroll. Upon being informed that white, the city charter osten- sibly calls for both a city clerk- auditor and treasurer collector, these positions. had in the past been filled; by one, man. Where- upon Mrs. Minus nominated Cham- Tbers for the position of treasurer and collector. Upon call of the roll Commis- sioners Chestnut and Minus cast their ballots for Chambers, and Commissioners Conklin and Sharit voted for Tomlinson, Mayor Soule again refusing to vote. The matter thus was automatically carried over to the March 5 meeting. Next order of business was nam- ing of a chief of police, and Com- missioner Sharit stated that as Chief of Police John Rowan had resigned by letter February 15 due to ill health, and It being so near election time, the board at that time did, not deem it advisable to make an appointment, except to name Buck Griffin as acting chief, thinking it best to await action of the new five-man board. After some discussion, the com- mis-sioners deemed it advisable to put off appointment of a police chief until the first meeting in March. .Mayor Soule then took the, floor. saying: "All other matters that might come up I believe should be postponed until the first meeting of the commission in March.
