Tapper Favors Pay

Raise For Teachers

Points Out There Is Ample Cash
In State Treasury' To
Provide Boost

George Tapper, who has tossed.
his hat into the political ring in


the race for representative from
Gulf county, yesterday came out


in favor of a 25 per cent increase
in salary .for teachers, and assert-
ing that a minimum wage should
be set up by the state according
to the degree 'held.,
"The teaching profession has
been sadly neglected, during the
past years," said George, "'and
only through loyalty to their pro-
fession have they remained on the.
job, when they could have left and
secured' jobs paying them double
their present salary.
"1 contend. that teachers holding
the same degree should be paid
the same, regardless of where
they teach in the state. Teachers
should also be paid for 12 months,
not nine months' wages split into
12 payments. The 'teachers' retire-
nient fund should also be re-visea
to give more benefits.
"The report just issued by the
state comptroller shows that there
is ample money in :the treasury to
provide this increase in. salary, al-
though it is not in the school fund.
"With. higher paid teachers In
Gulf county our schools would Im-
prove immensely, and if e'ectad as
representative I _wilP-w ',tir-

George, "and in addition I will do
everything in my power to get the
Port St. Joe and Wetwahitchka
schools on the southern accredited
list."


Hope To Have Ball Field

Completed In Three Weeks


CIO Attempting

To Control State

Political Setup

Conceded That Large Block Of
Votes Will Go To 'Chosen'
Candidates


By RUSSELL KAY
If reports that come filtering out


of Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami
and, other centelas are trustworthy.
it appears 'that a determined, cam.
paign is being waged' by CIO-PAO
folks to dominate the Florida po-
litical picture.
Apparently they are working like
beavers and. they are leaving no
stone unturned that might poasi-
bly have a vote lying under it.
"White supre-macy," the sacred
cow of the old line, hard-shell
Southern Democrat, is just so much
hogwash and ,banana oil to CIO-
PAC. Their objective, is, VOTES,
and in their little book a ,black
vote or a red one is just as im-
portant and' counts just as much
as a white one.
The CIO-PAC is out to get its
folks to the polls, and the colored
folks are being encouraged to
register and vote Democratic. And
they are registering, plenty 9q
them, for they are being organized
by the smartest kind. of political
leaders, and indications, are they
must be reckoned with in the com-
ing primaries. .
While no one can sat .it t, s
tuiie just hoivw n1y n,.miiy 'le
CIO-PAC crowd will be able to
muster. it is generally conceded by
seasoned observers' that it will be
a lot.

Navy Used 'Wolf

Packs' In Pacific

Three Submarine Groups Dealt
Crushing Blows to Jap
Shipping

The Germans weren't alone in
wjee of "wolf packs" during the
war, it has been revealed by the
navy department, as it was dis-
closed' for the first time how the
navy dealt crushing blows to the
Jaanese shipping 'by three such
groups, nicknamed the "Double
D'," "Bl'air's Blasters" and the
"Mickey Finns."
The navy did' not employ "wolf
pack" tactics extensively until
1944, due to lack oif ships and the
extensive areas to be patrolled,
and then they found large nunm-
bers of submarines available and
the hunting grounds for the, Jap-
anese shipping shrinking.
When a convoy was sighted, the
siubmarine squadron commander
devised the plan of attack, hbut if
an individual commander found
his ship in a position to attack a
valuable target, he -was free to dlo
p0o,
"Wolf pack" tactics increased
the scope of reconnaisance-three
subs could patrol three times the
area of a single raider. Under
these circumstances .the first sub-
marine -contacting the enemy at-
tacked, then fell back to furnish
data on which the other two sub-
marines could assume flanking po-
sitions 'and continue the attack.
The "Double D's" included the
Dace and Darter, which flashed
the first contact and later accurate,
timely reports concerning the Jap
fleet movement that were respon-
sible for much of our smashing
victory in the battle for Leyte
'Gulf. The submarines attacked' and
sank the Japanese heavy cruisers
A.go and :Maya and damaged a

ings on Leyte.
"Blair's Blasters," the Pilotfish,
Pintado and Shark, saved' thou-
sands of American lives iby de-
stroying nearly all ships of five
Saipan-bound Jap convoys carry-
ing 10,000 troops and huge quanti-
ties of supplies. I
The Thresher, Piranha and Guard-
fish, known as the "Mickey Finns,"
blasted 110,000 tons of Japanese
shipping into the bottom of Lu-
zon Straits during July, 1944, as
its contribution, to the Philippine
campaign. The Argon was origin-
ally with the group !but 'was forced
to return to port when she was
rammed and damaged by an enemy
ship early, in the patrol. 'She hit
two cargo ships with torpedoes
during that attack.
The Th:besher wiped out an en-
tire convoy of six ships in a three-
hour battle. The Guardifish sank
five ships in one convoy and later
added two more. The Pidianha ac-

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES
Time, was when any wisecrack about -the
"weaker sex" was sure to bring a broad smile
of superiority to the faces of male listeners.
But times have changed! The "weaker
sex" isn't, weaker any more-and if the truth
were told they haven't been that way for a
long, long time.
Women have proved themselves the equal
of men in thousands of ways. During the war
they did a man's job, tending machines in
war plants, cutting pulpwood or tilling the
soil, not to mention the jobs they did so well


,as WACS and WAVES and SPARS and mem-
bers of the marine corps.
Now, in peace, they are 'quietly' and with-
out fussing carrying on the all-important job
of keeping America's homes in order.
As housewives, American women are recog-
nized by national manufacturers as the
shrewdest purchasing agents on earth.
Because they buy prudently and shop care-
fully they are helping to keep prices down
and thus throwing their combined ef-
forts into the fight against inflation.
Because they are concerned with the health
of their husbands and children they have in-,
fluenced American manufacturers to package
foods in sanitary paper and paperboard con-
tainers.
Because wholesalers and retailers appreci-
ate that American women know a good thing
when they see .it, they use. itillions of tons of
newsprint annually for all kinds of advertis-
ing aimed at reaching the women of America.
Because they recognize the importance to
health, to home and to their bank accounts
of proper packaging and shipping, the Ameri-
can women stand behind the pulp and paper
industry's effort to prodtice enough paper,
paperboard and other pulpwood products to
meet present peak demands.
The top quality pulpwood so urgently
needed now by the St. Joe Paper Company is
a testimonial to the good business judgment
. of American women.


LEGION NOTES

To all appearances the Willis V.
Rowan Post, American Legion, is
getting set to go places.' Some-
thing seems to have happened and
everybody seems to have more pep
-even the "old folks" (veterans of
World War I) are. beginning to sit
up and wag something besides
their whiskers.
The Legionnaires hold meetings
every first and third Tuesdays at
8 p. m. in the Legion home at Bea-
con Hill. Next Tuesday night they
are electing new officers for the
ensuing year, and from the looks
of the suggestions made by the
nominating committee, World War
II vets will be elected to practic-
ally all offices.'
All veterans are invited to at-
tend meetings and we bet you'll
want to join, once you come out.


For Those Who Think
of Appearance
Run- down shoes make y-ou
look sloppy and unattractive.
Better keep 'yours in repair
and well polished. Let us be
