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. Whereupon Mrs.

Our Country Right or Wrong

TORCH-BEARERS
It is often said that we who are alive today
are-better people because our ancestors lived
before us.
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.

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.

Soule Named Mayor;
Tomlinson Resigns

(Continued From Page 1)
Minus nominated, Thos. 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. If

eign to any I have had in my span
of life," said Mayor Soule, "and 1
can say that I approach it in all
ignorance, but according to Mr.
Lewis,. all we can do is accept Mr.
Tomlinson's resignation. But I
believe we can ask Mr. Tomlinson
to stay on as our city clerk and'
auditor until we make a decision.'
Mr. Tomlinson stated that he
probably would take a vacation at-
ter the first of March, adding:
"The responsibility of1 this office
lies in the city commission, and it
there isi a doubt that I am not giv-
ing what you want 1 do not want
the job, as the duties of the office
are, strictly administrative and not
policy-forming. I work for a living,
as the rest of you do, and I do not
intend to leave Port St. Joe, re-
gardless of what the commission
does, as I have St. Joe sand in my
shoes.. But I'm riot going to walk
out on the commission and you
can depend on that.".
Commissioner Sharit then made
another plea that the board recon-
sider, saying: "-,kfioWv Mr. Tomlin-
son is in a position to get up facts
and figures on projects I have in
mind. that the citizens need here,
and I ask you to reconsider your
decision to dismiss him."
AMayor Soule then suggested. that
the matter rest until the next
meeting of the board.
"The matter cai't rest," said
Commissioner Sharit, "as you now
have his resignation effective as
of February 2S, and, the board does
not meet again until March 5."
"It seems to be up to the com-
mission to accept or reject Mr.
Tomlinson's resignation," said the
mayor.
Commissioner Sharit then made
a motion that Mr. Tomlinson be re-
tained as city auditor and clerk,
u.'asurer, tax collector and asseb-
sor, and that his resignation not
be accepted. Upon roll call Com-
missioners Sharit and Conklin
voted that Tomlinson's resignation
not be accepted., anid Commission-
ers Chestnut,. Minus, and Soule
voted that the resignation be ac-
cepted.

Six New Pulp Plants '
Slated In' Southeast

,Six new paper and pulp plants
costing approximately $60,000,000
are planned in the South. Ten mil-
lion dollar plants are planned by
each of the following paper cor-
porations: Riegel Paper Corpor-
ation, North Carolina; Gair-Santee
Corporation, somewhere in t h e
.South; Armstrong Cork Corpor-
ation, Macon; Meade Corporation,
Macon,-anil Hudson Pulp and Paper
Company, Palatka, Fla.
in addition, the Southern News-
paper Publishers' Association is
negotiating to establish a $10,000,-
000 to $15,000,000 newsprint mill.
It ia said there will be abundant
timber for all the plants if fire pro-
tection, planting and improved cut-
ting practices, are encouraged, as
there is more timber burned every
year than all the plants in the
South can use. The South has
about fifty pulpwood- plants, pro-
ducing about half of the nation's
total output.
