IWO TUD SUNTERS 0DO THE DABNDEST THINGS Hunters are a sub-species of the two legged mammals which inhabit this earth and are called man. They come in assorted. sizes and colors. Their range is from the South or the North pole and back again. They are good and bad big and little, thin and fat, ricli and poor and their skins are red white, black and yellow. In cer- tain respects they resemble ordi- nary human beings, but don't let that fool you, there is a big differ- ence. When a man grumbles and mumbles at buying a car license, but happily digs down in his jeans and deposits a fistful of green- backs for a hunting license, he Is a hunter. His dress suit may be a little tight and somewhat frayed and threadbare here and there, but his hunting clothes,? Ah, they are the best, the very best. Five dol- lars for a white dress shirt is downright robbery, but ten bucks for a hunting shirt? Well, that's something different. *Getting up at six o'clock in the morning to mow the. lawn or hoe in the garden is ridiculous. Didn't Lincoln free the slaves? But rol- ling out at 4 a. an. on a frosty morning to go duck hunting, now there is some sense to that. He picks up a little sparrow with a broken wing and tenderly nurses it back to health. Florence Night- ingale had nothing on him. Then he grabs hi's terrible instrument of destruction, the twelve gauge shot- gun, and goes utterly berserk, mur- dering phesants, ducks and geese and what-have-you that is unlucky enough to get in his way and in the range of his weapon. It isn't 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it's Mr. ,Hunter. The little woman's washing ma- ,chine is in pretty bad shape. She should have a new one by all means. But a little welding here and there and a new part or two put's it in fairly good shape again. At least she can use it for a while yet. But when the old shotgun be- gins to go haywire, plunking down ,$76 for a new one is just a mat- ter of course. A fellow has to have a gun doesn't he? -Mr. Hunter you rave and tear your hair at the sight of the pneat bill. Those butchers should carry blackjackss and wear masks. Just think of the saving on the meat bill when you bring home game bird's to eat! Beefsteak at the lo- cal market is fifty cents a pound, (but, brother, those ducks cost you ;at least five dollars a pound and you know it! ! The little wife has to beg you on tendeP knees to go down to the ;corner grocery store, it is only tour blocks, and get a loaf 0o bread. Yet you tramp through a jungle of weeds, mud or snow, rain. or shine, out hunting and 'think nothing of it. In fact it was Great sport and you had a swell time. Why? Because you are a 'hunter. Fixing a flat tire on the higah- way it the rain is a swell way to Catch double pneumonia and you anutter a lot of things you didn't 'learn in Sunday school while do- ing it. You sit for hours on end in a cold. 'damp dutck blind with a Taw northwest wind blowing down your reck and. call it sport. You- 'better half brings home a silly li'ttile hat with a five dollar price t. on it and you voice your disapproval in no uncertain terms. 'Sometf3ing n.bo:it people who go about throwing away hard-earned anoney for such doodads. But when you return from a two-day hunting trip that set you hack twenty-five dollars and proudly 'lay two little wet, lbedraggledi 'blue 'winged teal at her feet, you expect 'her blue eyes to open wide and words of praise and flattery to pour forth on your waiting ears. The children really have a job on their hands when they try to get you out of your easy chair to go for a walk through the park on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. But you yell with delight and skip madly over a couple dozen mountains hunting for deer. Shucks, nothing to it. See what I mean? Hunters fdo the darndest things,, God bless 'em !! State Fish and.

The Tattler Published Weekly By BOYLES DEPARTMENT STORE Port St. Joe, Florida Vol. I Featuring "Tips From Across Our Counter To Wise Shoppers" Friday, August 30, 1946 the mound, Thomason also was in there wielding a hefty bat, getting three bingle.s out of four trips to the plate, one being a near homer for two bags that lacked about a foot of going over the left field fence. Dallas Weeks and John Lane were also credited with three hits each in four and, five times at hat respectively. In all, the Saints nicked the two Marianna moundsmen for 12 safeties, while Thomason gave up five hits. The first two innings were un- eventful, but in the 'third, Port St. Joe chalked up two runs when Thomason hit his two-bagger, Lane got a one-base hit to send, him home, John Dendy sacrificed to ad- vance Lane, Tommy Mitchell was out on a low fly to second, Leon- ard Belin was hit by a pitched tali for a walk, Dallas Week got a' one- base hit to drive In Lane and then stole second, andi the side was re- tired as Bert Cox flied out to cen- ter field. The Saints really sewed up the game in the fifth with four runs. Lane took two bases on a long fly to left. field, Dendiy was walked. Mitchell sacrificed to advance Lane and Dendy, Belin was deliberately walked (much to the chagrin of the loca l fans) to load the bases. Weeks socked a two-bagger to cen- ter field to drive in Dendy and Lane and Belin stole home on the play for Weeks at second, Cox tooc' two bags on a double error by the shortstop who fumbled -the bair and made a low throw, to first, W. J. Herring struck out and Frank Hannon retired the side on, a pop foul to third. The local team was euchered out of a couple of scores in the sixth when, with Thomason, Lane and DendWy on base, and but one out. Belin hit a long fly to left field which was caught and Thomason sped' home from third' after the catch with Lane going to second. The Marianna manager cla'me'd that Thomason left the sack be- fore the catch and therefore was out when the ball was tossed to the third baseman. In order to avert an argument, Manager Rich Porter conceded the point. The final score for the Saints was made in the eighth when Thomason took one base on a hit to left field Lane was out on . long, high fly, Dendy was walked, Mitchell was out on a fly to cen- ter fields Belin hit through short for one base to send Thomason home and then executed a double steal with Dendy; McCall was out at first to end' the scoring. The Saints trekked to Marianna yesterday for the second game o0 the series (if it didn't rain, since this was printed Wednesday), anat will play there again SunGay. u they have not won three straight games, the fourth tilt will be held here next Wednesday afternoon, ' and if a fifth game is necesasry, a coin will be tossed to see whether it will be played, in Port St. Joe or Marianna. With the pcor showing made here Sunday by Marianna, there may be but three games in the series. Returns To Georgia Little Miss Judy Greer return Sunday to Cusetta, Ga., for the fall term of school.

Ti. spoken r-ord is given scant attention; the printed word in thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the print d word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lo,(. the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong "I'LL SPIT ON YOU," SAYS THE BREEZE in an editorial last week referring to the page one story published in The Star anent the placing of1 a 1an on sports with Wewa- hitchka schools by the school trustees of Port St. Joe. the Gulf County Breeze has this to say, in part, in an editorial headed "You Spit On Me and I'll Spit On You": "The Breeze dislikes to 'wash dirty linen' in its columns, and we only reprint the above from St. Joe because The Star seems to take .delight in keeping a stink up between some of the people of the two towns. It referred to an .nnpleasantness which occurred here some weeks ago, and which all our citizens regretted verve much therefore there is no call for the local newspapers of the two towns to appease the hot-heads by publishing the bick- erings in such untoward happenings as oc- curred here, and which evidently brought forth the action of the trustees of the Port St. Joe schools.. We want to call on the editor of The Star to act with us in turning thumbs down on printing things of no great importance" which han i:l f..-r their purpose the estrange- ment of ti_ g..... people of. the two towns." Now, Brother Hanlon, you shouldn't, jump to such hasty conclusions. For your informa- tion, the school trustees requested that the item you refer to be given prominent display. Seems the reason, was that if the parents of the kids cut up the way they do. the kids prob- ably would follow in their footsteps, and the board didn't want a bunch of St. Joe pupils returning from Wewahitchka beat up with pop bottles and slashed with knives. We know the good people of Wewahitchka regretted the incident, for we talked with sev- eral of them right after the fracas and stated in the article: "A ccrcerted sigh of relief has been heaved by respectable citizens of Wewa- hitchka over the fact that there are no more games between the 'Gators and Saints for the remainder of the Gulf Coast schedule, for they think too much of their home town to have its reputation muddied up by such disgraceful ex- hibitions as featured Wednesday's game." Now, as to the "dirty linen." that belonged strictly to 1,Wewahitchka, and we have a feel- ing, Brother Hanlon, that the reason it was not "washed" in the columns of The Breeze was that orders were issued not to have it mentioned. The editor of The Star will allow no one to trample on him, and when someone runs roughshod over a resident of Port St. Joe, the editor of The Star is going to stand up for that person and let the world know what's going on.: You "raised the stink" this time. Brother Hanlon. with your "You Spit On Me and I'll Spit On You" editorial in which you referred to the incident as "of no great importance." It may be of "no great importance" to somet people, but when knives, blackjacks and pop bottles are wielded at a public gathering, we consider it cif mighty great importance. The worst thing about history is that every time it repeats itself the price goes up. An alibi is proof that you weren't where you were and didn't do what you did. JUSTICE TO ALL There are alarming similarities between the current deliberations over peace treaties ani the Versailles agreements which followed the first world war and did so much to sow the seeds of World War 1I. Again the great powers are fighting for spheres of influence. Again the dark shadow of "balance of power" politics hangs over tli,. ineetiings. Again the work of the delegates is hampered 1)bysecret commitments made dur- ing the war. And again- many of tile smaller powers are living in fear of being sold out to the Big Four. \What seems to have been largely lost is that space is of sImall importance to a nation's se- Cunrityv-- bolmbling plane call fly anywhere in the world in a matter of hours, and a strato- sphere missile can do it in minutes. A fragile peace, based upon llforce and fear, will be only a breathing space between the last war and the next and from the behavior of Russia, the breathing space may be' mighty short. The tremendous problem before the world is to establish a peace which will be fair to all nations, which will respect the r-ights of all nations, and which will make it possible for all nations to live together in the world with- out need of resort to arms. That kind of peace cannot come from deals between the great powers which use the small powers as trading material. It can only be built upon the sound foundation of justice to all. WAR SCANDALS COMING TO FORE We'd be willing- to bet anv reasonable sumt that there would lie a big demand for fumi- glants in 1Washing-ton next vear if a Republli- can congress should be returned and start probing into government records, war con- tracts and accounts. Consider, for instance, the current case of nuitnition-maker Murray Garsscon and his sat- elites who, with New Deal aid. wangled $78,- 000,000 in war contracts for his "war muni- tions. empire" existent only on paper. And another fascinating series of scandals, if they are ever exposed, are said to have their roots in the inefficient, haphazard, trick ac- counting systems developed by federal bureau- crats who, for a decade or more, have revelled in the greatest spending binge in the history of mankind. Comptroller General Lindsay Warren, tes- tifying before a senate committee, stated that U. S. taxpayers have been bilked out of untold billions of dollars because of waste, ineffici- ency and the low moral standards of some of the personnel connected with the letting of war contracts. Some agencies have so little information on their war contracts, he said, that "a ten-year-old moron could complete the audit in tell seconds." And things like these are merely the cur- tain raisers. There's more to come. INTERNATIONAL GRAB BAG We are always hearing something about what America must sacrifice to preserve the peace of the world, like giving up some of our sovereign rights, making huge loans to for- eign countries, feeding hungry throughout the world, but we haven't seen anyv signs of alny .other nation making any sacrifices. Recently it has seemed more like a huge grab bag i) which it is mostly every man for himself.-. Sanford Herald. T -erybody's doing it! Doing v-hat? Get- ting pensioned for life.
