Week and Easter

'Bishop Juhan To Dedicate Parish
House Sunday Afternoon; Pub--
lic Invited To All Services

Rev. Tom Byine announces that
St. James Episcopal Church will
be-gin its observance of the Holy
'Week and Easter week-end with a
three-hour service to begin at 12
noon today. The theme of the ad-
dresses at this service.-will be "The
Way of the Cross,," dealing with
the incidents that occurred to
Jesus from the time he was con-
demned to death until the time he
was laid away in the tomb. A pro-
gram of the service will be dis-
tributed' at the door of the church
by which the service can be eaoitiy
followed. The offering at this serv-
ice will go to the work of the Epis-
copal church in Jerusalem. People
are free to come and go during the
services, 'but it is the custom of
many to remain throughout the
three hours.
On Holy Saturday,- at 4 p. m:.
there *will be baptism of several
children. .-This Saturday baptism is
an ancient custom of the Christian
church, ,going back to- the' days
when those who had' been baptized
after going through many days of
training, made their first com-
muniops on>,Easter Day.
On Easter Day there will be a
celebfRLir ofr the holy communion
at 7:30 a. i., the Sunday school
service at 9:30 a. min., and celebra-
tion of the holy communion and
sermon at 11 a. m.
At 5:45 in the afternoon the Rt.
Rev. Frank A. Jluhan, 'bishop of
Florida, will confirm a large class
of candidates and will make a brier
address. Immediate-ly after the con-
firmatiof', the bishop will dedicate
the parish house, following whicar
the congregation will entertain at
a reception for all he congrega-
tion, the newly confirmed persons,
a reception for all the congrega-
who have contributed to the parish
house, and. for the community of


U. S. Department of Commerce
Compares 1940 and 1945
Tabulations

,Through the courtesy of C. R,
Laird, county agent, we are in re-
ceipt of advai'ce figures on the ag-_
ricultural survey of Gulf county for
1945 as prepared by the U. S. De-
partment of Commerce.
The census shows that Gulf
county, with a land area of 356,480
acres, in 1940 had 85 farms or 1.1%
ofE the total acreage. and in 1945
there were 314 farms for a 9.9 per-
centage. The. land in farms in 1940
came to 3,941 acres,' while in 1945
the figure had' jumped, to 35,328
acres with an average size of 112.5
acres, compared to the average of
46.4 acres for 1940.
Value of ,farms in the county (in-
cluding land and buildings) came
to $556,415 in 1945 for an average
per farm value of $1,772, or $15.75
per acre, as compared with a total
value of $112,679 in 1940 with an
average per farm value of $1,326
and a per acre value, of $28.59. The
value of implements in 1940 was
placed, at $8,559 and in 1945 at $25,-
266.
We find that the farm popula-
tion, of 1945 is living a better life
than in 1940, for in the latter year
but 19 farms had electricity as
compared: with 176 in 1946, and but
26 automobiles were in use on the
farms in 1910 as coniaf6d with 141
in 1945. There were 17 trucks in

St. Joe Motor Company
Goes Completely Moden

With completion of a new 50 ,by
90-foot concrete block addition in
the rear to house the repair shop,
Otto And'erson is really running
wild in remodeling the interior of
the original St. Joe Motor Company
building at the corner of Monu-
ment Avenue and Fourth Street.
The new setup' provides about
ten times the previous space in the
stock room. ives Otto a private
office, and allows a large expanse
of floor for the. display of new cars
whenn he gets 'em).
With completion of the remoder-
ing work we do not hesitate to say
that the St. Joe. Motor Company
will have an establishment equal
to any in Northwest Florida and
one which would do credit to a city
much larger than Port S-t. Joe.

Russian Missionary

Most Americans are especially
interested in Russia just now, and,
of course, there are good reasons
for such interest. Now it will be
the privilege of the people/ of Port

formation about the Russian situa-
tion, from even different stand-
points during the week of April 7

St. Joe Students

Take Honors At

Music Festival


School Band Makes First Divisiotn
And Glee Club Ranks In
Mixed Chorus Event

By STANFORD BECKHAM
Port St. Joe was well repre-
sented last week-end, at the sixth
district Florida Band, Association
music festival held at Marianna.
The' high school glee club, di-
rected by Miss Erline McClellan;
made a first division rating in the
mixed chorus event, along with
honor ratings in several extra
events, such as solos and duets. All
of which makes the glee club
eligible to attend the state festival
to 'be held in Tampa this month.
Wouldn't it be nice to have Port,
St. Joe represented, but there's the
old obstacle--expenses'.
Our band exceeded all expecta-
tions in grabbing off first division
in marching and sight reading. The
score for the concert was the same
as last year, second division., which
is an honor rating but a step below
qualifying for 'the state meet in
Miami, according to the ruling set
up by the Florida Bandmaster's
Association.
Our drum .major, Tommy Owens,
drew a good many favorable com-
ments on his super-colossal high
stepping and ability in maneuver-
ing the band about.
Will Ramsey. our eftficent: per-
cussionist drummerr to 'ydu )-matfe
a first division in student conduct-
ing. In fact, the band did' a fine
job and: all enjoyed the festivities.
We. are all very proud o'f these
two fine and worthy organizations
in our school, especially the glee
club. No finer organization of its
kind exists for the size town and'
school they represent.
According to the .experts '(,the-
judges) our band needs the folloy-
ing to be at its best: Two more-
French horns, a 'bass clarinet, or
bassoon, another flute, and more
and better clarinets.

YELP FOR HELP
Seems that a lot of men have
volunteered to throw together the
building brought here from Camp
Gordon Johnston in sections to be
erected on the Rotary Club's lot
at 13th and Woodiward' for a city
recreation center, but the other day
when a building bee was sched-
uled, only Joe Mira and Otto An-

vitally needed, and those who vol-
unteered' to erect it are urged .to

At a meeting of the Gulf County
Chapter of the American Red Cross
held Tuesday in this city to dis-
cuss the financial condition of the

Our Country Right or Wrong

MAY BE TOUGH TIMES AHEAD
A soft-spoken business man in a plain sky-
scraper in New York thinks there may be a
way to foretell the future. He is Edward R.
Dewey, former chief economic analyst in the
department of commerce and director of the
Foundation for the Study of Cycles.
He says that just as scientists now can -pre-
dict accurately the rise and' fall of the tides
and eclipses of the sun, it should be possible
to forecast economic conditions if, as his evi-
dence indicates, they also fall into definite
cycles. A book he has written summarizes-
studies in cycles, which have been going on
almost 100 years. It cites a cycle in wholesale
prices which is said to run about 54 years from
peak to peak; a "nine-year rhythm" which
shows up in commodity and stock market
prices; one of roughly 41 nionths in:industrial
production, and another of around 18% years
in real estate, building and industrial activity.
Dewey says neither wars, New Deal meas-
ures nor even the "planned economies" of dic-
tator states has stopped the basic rhythms, al-
though he admits war dislocations can make
peaks or valleys much more severe than they
have been or even come at the wrong time,
If the rhythms continue, he suggests tough
times may be -immediately ahead for Ameri-
cans. "Findings of which we may be reason-
ably sure," he writes, "are that declines can
be expected in business activity, wholesale
prices, iron, steel and stock market prices,
" building and real estate." All the cycles are
due to reach bottom in the early 1950's.
While studies in the book do not go back
"far enough to permit unqualified assurance
that the observed rhythms are beyond the re-
sult of chance," the "expectancies" do not in-
dicate a lengthy post-war boom. Instead, "the
number of important rhythms that come to a
low together around 1952 suggest the possi-
bility of a growing post-war crisis."
If cycles can be projected into the future to
tell correctly the- kind of business weather
that'secbming, it would seem that economics
can be raised to the level of a science.
Since the causes of these cycles are un-


known, it would seem to be good
make plans in good times to ease
hardships follow dips of the cycles.

CANCER IS DEADLIER THAN WAR
In the war years when our boys faced the
scream and terror of Stukas, fought monster
tiger tanks, prodded the Jap from a thousand
pillboxes more than twice as many
people were killed at home-by cancer.
We're not telling this to frighten you.
We're telling you this to enlist your aid to
fight cancer. A disease that strikes, on the av-
erage, one out of every two American fam-
ilies. One way to fight it is to see a 'doctor
the minute a member of your family develops
one of cancer's danger signals.
But a bigger and surer way to fight it is
to join the American Cancer Society's drive
for funds during this month. Join with your
nickels. Your dimes. Your dollars. Join to help
the scientists conquer cancer. Every dollar you
give helps to support this research program
provides better facilities for .diagnosis
and treatment brings closer the day
when they'll find a cure.
Everybody in Gulf county-is urged to pitch
in and get behind Basil Kenney, county chair-
man for the drive. We couldn't give to a bet-'
ter cause-the cause of hope instead of despair.

WHO STARTED THAT FIRE?
A report of the utmost importance to the
South is that which the forest service will
make on the results of the fifth annual co-
operative forest fire prevention campaign
which is now under way in eleven states of
the South.
The report will be more than usually im-
portant to Florida, for this state long has been
one of the big losers from forest fires, despite
efforts of the forest service to educate both
the owners and the public at large on the wis-
dom of conservation.
Extent of the devastation caused by woods
fires this spring will be the measure, there-
fore, of the effectiveness of the program or
education. It will serve as the yardstick by
which the fire-consciotisness of the people
has increased. The report will show the extent
to which the public is cognizant of the inroa(s
being made on the forests of Florida and the
South, and the effects of those inroads on the
economics of this section.
The people of Gulf county and Port St. J.'e
particularly should be extra careful this year
and join wholeheartedly in the campaign to
prevent forest fires, for-the largest source of
income in our county comes from the St. Joe
Paper Company mill, "and another income
source is the St. Joe Lumber & Export Com-
pany, both of which concerns depend upon
forest products for their operation.

To get some idea of tlhe troubles the Balkan
nations have with each. other, imagine what
would happen if Florida and California had
common borders.

Nation Is On Edge of
Volcano, Says General

Gen. Holland M. "Howling Mad'
Smith of La Jolla, Calif., veteran
of 43 years in the, marine corps, 'be-
lieves that war veterans of World
War II would be well advised to
dust off their uniforms instead of
putting them in moth balls.
I; an interview at his La Jolla
home the outspoken general, who
re-tired from active service re-
cently, warned that the "United
States is sitting on the edge of a
volcano, and I would advise veter-
ans to dust off their uniforms."
"We believed a little more than
a y'.ar ago, after the Allies had put
down the aggressors and had
started their joint purposes to
make aggressive war a crime, that
we would quickly agree on a
peace," Smith said. "Now our
hopes in the United Nations are
almost swe-pt away. The Allies ap-
pear now to fear Russia just as it
once feared Hitler."
He said our country has com-
mitted an error ,by-.attributing our
own unselfishness and altruism to
other nations.
"Europe from Finland to the Ad-
riatic is an armid camp," Smith
said'. "Indo-China and, Paraguay are
in revolt. The United States is s:-
ting on the edge of a volcano."
The veteran marine officer placed
great confidence in the ability of
Secretary of State George Mar-
shall. "If he fails, it means war,"'
he warned. "It means that Russia
will oppose us at the Dardanelles,
move into Greece and Turkey, and
eventually Iraq and Iran, taking the
oil fields and' shutting off the Brit-
ish Empire from the Suez."
The United States is following
the same :pattern of unprepared-
ness that we took after other wars,
Smith cautioned.
