"Senator Gray had informed me that his bill would -place, Washing- ton and Bay counties in the pres- ent 25,th District and create a new 40thl District made up of Calhoun and Gulf counties," said Tapper, "but when the bill came up Thurs- day it placed Gulf, Calhoun and Washington in District 40 and left Bay county alone in the 25th Dis- trict. Such a setup is geographic- ally unsound and, the house will kill '.the bill." I- George said he. and Representa- 'tiyesl C. L. Clark of Calhoun and Joe Potter of Washington county were opposed to the measure. "All of us are in favor of a redistricting bill," he' said, "tbut not one which (Continued on page 6) Senate Committee Rejects Sales Tax By 13 1 Vote The seriate finance and taxation committee killed, by a 18-1) vote Tu esdayk1t Shands, .3 per cent sales tax bill which it was esti- mated would' have raised about $75,000,000 annually. Merchants from all over Florida. were taken by surprise as the com- mittee took a quick vote on the bill to levy the sale's tax. Senator Rose of Orlando made t'he customary notion to report the bill favorably, saying all committeemen already 'knew how they were going to vote. 'Sena.tor W. A. Shands of Gaines- vilie, daddy of the bill, stated that revenues' from the tax would. "in- sure" the gradual lessening of real estate, taxes and wouma 'prob- ably have absorbed all existing ex- cise taxes except those upon gaso- line, racing and license tags. It would have imposed new excise taxes upon sales,, rents and ad- missions. A similar sales tax bill was in- troduced' in the house Wednesday of this week. ---*--,--_- ,'BILL ENDING MARRIAGES BY NOTARIES Il PASSED The senate Tuesday passed by a 22-15 vote a bill which would pre- vent notary publics, from perform- ing marriage ceremonies. * Florida and South Carolina now are the only states. in the, nation permitting notaries to perform marriages.

I- Recent Guests Mr. and Mrs. David Kirkland Grace.ville were recent guests Mr. and Mrs,. Harold Kirkland. * At times' discretion is the better part of valor, but apparently not so with Carol Warner who, when lie started out to get his bobcat fin- is-hed the job. :S.-ems that Carol. "Red" Morri- son and Norman Allemore, in one boat, and Mr. a.nd Mrs. John. Rob- ert Smith in another, both powered by 23 h.p Johnsons for which Carol is the local dealer (free advt.), were traveling up the canal Sunday to Lake Wimico when. they saw a large bobcat swimming across the canal. Warner slowed' down his boat and struck at the critter,-with a paddle, whereupon Mr., Bobcat, figuring he was at a disadvantage in the' water-,, proceeded to climb 'into the boat. Warner socked Mr. Bob with the -paddle, which broke off short, and the cat got under the seat on whnic he was sitting and proceeded to spit and snarl, make rapid passes at Carol with. a handful of sharp- scimitar-shaped claws, and raise hades in general. After about 20 minutes of this, Carol finally dis- patched the unwelcome guest with 'a lusty blow to the cranium with 'the bit of paddle remaining to him. As an interesting sidelight to the fracas, Norman Allemorie was yelping to Warner and Morrison to ablan.don ship and leave Mr. Bob in sole command, but Morrison put a headlock on Norman and' kept him from, jumping into the drink. The Smith tribe stayed, off at a distance 'a idi' ~pplauided' the per- formance, offering pertinent ad- vice which wasn"t heeded ,by the participants in the hectic battle, particularly Mr. Bobcat. The loser of the battle was' car- ried ,back to town by the' victor. and measured five feet from nose to tail. Quite a varmint!

Terry Hinote started on, the mound for St. Joe and' was re- lieved' in the second by Jimmy Adams; Lamar: Sales was' on the receiving end all the way due to the fact that Bert Cox was.s nursing an injured finger (Cox played In the outfield the last four innings.). The score was 9-9 at the -begin- ning of the eleventh, when W. J. Herring tripled to drive in Cox and Jim' McCall and -cinch the game. Army tried valiantly, to beat the rap, shoving, over one counter, but a spectacular catch, by Tommy Mitchell at third quashed the rally, The box score follow's: Teamn- R H E St. Joe 1 2 0 3 1 0 0 2 0 0 2-11 18is ?

How- ever, it would, be assumption for us to hope to compete with this veteran (we didn't say OLD, either) newspaper man! We note in his production the school boy enthusiasm which sometimes comes from the smell of good. steaks, pies, and pastries, so we're giving Mirs. ,Smith credit for all that might be considered good in the Stardust column. That leaves you out in the, cold, editor! It's hardly necessary to mention that next SundJay is MOTHER'S DAY. Feel'sure we've all been thinking about it for !some time.u Boyles, Department Store has, been planning, for months to help out in giving mothers a thrill on this wonderful day. We'1 wrap you a bundle, of joy for Mother in a neat, attractive package just for 0he asking. Select from the items advertised' in this space and, you'll be sure to please her. Wish we could command words from our limited vocabulary to *write a fitting, article onl MOTHER. The first thing the, word brings. to our mind is, LOVE. Mothers simply generate that LOVE .that passeth understanding, and things we do not understand are difficult to write about. However, we are everlastingly grateful 'to iave kiiown th joy; .peace and security of a MOTHER'S LOVE. We are more grateful to have this blessing today. Yes, we knew a mother of seven who seemed, to have the power of loving seventy times seven. That love became more tender as ,the years produced movie, suffering, hardships and heartaches, along with the absence of material necessities of life. We've seen he.r, through the yars, sick, discouraged', tii'ed, and weary in body, possessed, with a soul that constantly increased' in buoyancy and power. No, we cannot explain a mother's love, but we do know what it will do. We know how. know that it grips the hearts of men and of nations. We know that it will change the aesttny of men and nations. We know that it extends to the uttermost parts of the earth. We know that it will last through ete'rn- ity. Yes, we would, like to write, a fitting article on MOTHER, but we can only pause with pro- found humility and respect at the sound of the worid. This column pays its respects to all mothers, and we might men- tion the fact that Mrs. Elmore Godifrey (formerly Mis's Betty Temple) is the newest mother in 'this city at the time this ar- ticle .is written.

Our Country Right or Wrong LIVING STANDARDS MAY DROP The high wages being paid workers today are good to look at, and if the wage increases were all that is involved, it would'be fine, but. it isn't, for every time wages are boosted they add height to the trade barriers existing be- tween this country and others whose peoples need the products of America. The higher the wages go here the more dif- ficult it becomes to export the things manu- factured in our factories, which must compete with the goods made in other countries where wages and living standards are much lower. It is inevitable that the day will come when manufacturers in other nations will begin sending their products into the world market, and that will be the day of reckoning, for the . American manufacturers must dispose of the surplus, of their products over and above the needs of the home market. Advantageous dis- posal of that surplus is the thing that will keep the plants operating and the workers on the job. If world market conditions should bar export of the surplus, it would force the Am- erican people upon a self-containment stan- dard of living, which would mean a sharp re- duction from our present high,level. A SMALL BOY'S ESSAY ON NEWSPAPERS The following, said to be a small boy's es- say, has been going the rounds and has ap- peared recently in a number of publications. It is thought to have been first published by. the Belleville (Kans.) Telescope: A "I don't know how newspapers got into the " world and I don't think God does, for He never mentioned them in the Bible. Maybe the editor was one of the Fallen Angels, for he seems to fall for about everything that people tell him. If the editor makes a mistake, folks say he ought to be hung; if a lawyer makes a mistake, he appeals the case; when a doctor makes a mistake they say nothing 'cause they don't know Latin, and they couldn't read his writing if they did. "An editor makes a mistake and there's a lot of hollering, cussing and a libel suit, while when a doctor makes one there's a funeral, with flowers and. crying and perfect silence. A doctor can use a word a mile long, and it doesn't make any difference if he knows what it means or not, for folks will think he's edu- cated, while an editor has to spell any word he uses. If a doctor goes to see another man's wife he charges for the visit, while if the ed- itor goes he gets shot. "People that call the doctor and get well think he's a great man; if they don't get well they're dead and can't say anything. Two- thirds of the folks in town are sore at the editor all the time, either because the paper said something about them they don't like or said something nice about somebody they don't like." Perhaps it is called "honeymoon" because sooner or later somebody gets stung.-Lake City Reporter. In any collection of odds and ends, it's par- ticularly odd how hard it is to make the ends fit. 'RECESSION' OR 'DEPRESSION'? When, a year or so ago, a few doubting Thomases gloomily intimated that the post- war production boom might not last indefi- nitely, they were greeted with angry opposi- tion on all sides. Some of the government economists were especially vigorous in argu- ing 'that nothing even resembling a "reces- sion" could be forecast, and that production would go on to new high plateau after new high plateau. This, reasoning was based on the tremenGous total of war savings in the possession of the people, and on the undeniable fact that prac- tically everyone needed a long list of goods, ranging from clothes to homes, which had been unobtainable for years. It was further buttressed by the assumption that, after the backlog of orders had been made up, the Am- erican people would be accustomed to a higher standard of living and would continue buying in hitherto unprecedented amounts in order to sustain it. That pleasant, viewpoint has taken quite a walloping lately. Even the government econ- omists-with certain exceptions whose opti- mismn, to judge by their public statements, re- mains undim' m-: .--are talking cautiously of a "corrective" down-turn in production. And some experts are so certain that a recession is on the way that they have stopped consider, ing whether .it will or will not occur, and are guessing as to when it will come and how se- vere it will be. The reasons for this attitude are easy enough to find. First, there has been a con- siderable decline in savings, because people have spent the money, wisely or otherwise, for non-durable goods, for luxuries, and for just,plain living. Second, the saving held by the average family were never large enough, even had they been held. intact, to buy very muc-h. Third, a large segment. of the public, whether it is right or wrong, thinks that prices are too high and is buying as little as possible. Fourth, there is a distinct possibility of more big-time labor disputes. Fifth, in many lines the production of goods at the factory is much greater than the sale of goods at retail-which means that inventories are piling up, and that distributors will pare their purchases. Sixth, increases of income on the part of niost white- collar groups have been less than the increases in the cost of living-which simply means that their real purchasing power is less than it used to be, even though they get more dollars ealh payday. Both government and business are afraid of sharp drops in production, which would in- evitably be followed by widespread unem- ployment, distress selling, and severe and un- economic breaks in the price structure. This is the pattern that has always resulted in the severe depressions of the past. Very few economists say that this will necessarily hap- pen in the foreseeable future. But almost all of the forecasters are much less bullish than they once were. The general consensus is that some kind of an industrial slump will occur either this fall or -Ainter, or next spring. Those are the most commonly mentioned dates, but the forecasters are hedged with "ifs" and butss." The secret of the atomic bomb is the Ameri- can Maginot Line. It gives us security in imagination. To that extent it is a great dan- ger.-Albert Einstein. A sign in the office of a New York attorney riads: "Love letters should be written in in- visible ink and mailed in the incinerator."

For Radish Quality Sow Every Week I r Radishes share with green onions trom sets the welcome which is al- ways given the first harvest from the vegetable garden. But never how more than a week's supply ol early radishes at a time. G The early type, such as Scarlet Globe, matures in three weeks, and in another week turns pithy; so if you have not used them all, there will be a sad waste of good radishes and garden space. To avoid waste, sow not more than seven feet of row each week until hot weather approaches; or double the sowing, but use a second early, such as Icicle, and start us- ing it when half-grown. For Lot weather, sow one of the long, slow growing varieties; and in midsum- mer put in the winter varieties, which are largest of all, but of good quality and can be used until Christmas. But remember to sow radishes thinly, and give each plant plenty of room to mature. The seed come up in a few days, and many gar- deners sow their first crop by mix- ing a few radish seed with the seed of slow germinators, such as car- rots, parsnips, parsley and beets, all of which can be sown as soon as the soil has been prepared. Be sure to use not more than a, tenth as many radish seeds. They will come up long before their slowly germinating companions, and "mark the row." This will held you cultivate without danger of dis-1 turbing the slow sprouting seeds' Manufacture Parasites A quarter million parasites, de- structive to the oriental fruit moth, can be produced daily at about one- twentieth of the former cost through methods developed by scientists in University of California.
