The baccalaureate service was on the unusual side, in that a me-m- ber of the graduating class, Luther Cardien, was selected by the class to deliver the sermon. He used as his theme the'building of a life, and likened the building of that life to the-building of a house. "First of all, we must choose a firm foundation to 'build our house of life upon," said' Luther, "and Jesus has proved himself a tried and strong foundation by with- standing all kinds at buffeting.'" He then stressed the using of the right kind of building materials in this life, and urged his, classmates to use the. building materials ap- proved by our God and Savior and '"you will suffer no want." Due to the fact that the speaker scheduled for the graduation exer- cises could not appear due to ill- ness, Rev. Tom Byrne was called upon in the emergency, and de- livered) a speech that will be long Continued on page 7) LEGION WILL HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICE TONIGHT AT SCHOOL Vic Anderson, commander of the local American Legion post, an- nounces that memorial services will be held at 8 o'clock tonight in the high school auditorium, and urges all Legionnaires, ex-service- men and the. general public to be present at that time.

Ball Says Rail Merger Ruling Will Be Fought The interstate commerce com- miss'ion last week handed down its decision on disposal of the Florida East Coast Railroad, ruling that the. Atlantic Coast Line would take over its operation rather than the St. Joe Paper Company. Edward' Ball stated Tuesday that "wd do not accept the decision of the commission as final and will take every possible legitimate step to secure its reversal."

Senior and adult leaders will also be present, as. well as district scout officials. This camporee, which will be lo- cated on the vacant block between Fourth and Fifth Streets opposite the Ward Clinic, reverses previous scouting policy in that it is located within a city rather than out in the hinterlands, in order to give parents and friends of scouting and the general public an opportunity to insepct the. activities. Six event stations will be located on the site where the various troops *ill compete in knot-tying, t'irs't aid', nature study, axmanship, judging and woodcraft. The public is urged to attend these competi- tions and the camp will be open to the public at all times. The boys and the-ir leaders will live in small tents during the cam- poree and rigid discipline will be enforced, with the boys checking in and out of camp.

However, all was well as McCall, his dander up over the raw decision, socked a two-bagger over second to drive in Walters and' end the game 7-6. It was good to see Bennie Burke back on the lineup in this tilt, al- though in the. opinion of the fans he should have been at short in- 'stead of right field. He was re- placed by Weeks in the seventh, but in the three times he was at bat he crossed the plate for two of St. Joe's seven counters. SUNDAY'S GAME Ye Ed failed' to attend the game Sunday at Panarma City, which resultedd in a 10-5 win for the Saints over the'Spartans, but from the box score we find that St. Joe cinched the tilt in the first inning with five counters, chalking up an- other in 'the third, two in, the fifth and one each in the seventh and eighth. Panama made one iA the second two in .the fifth and two in the seventh. Jim McCall took hitting honors with a triple, a single and a homer in four times at bat. Lamar Sale and' Tommy Mitchell each got three hits in five times up and each was credited with a doaible.

As usually happens a year or so before a presidential election,' talk is making the rounds concerning the possibility of a third- party entrant into the greatest race on earth. This idea was broached to Mr. Wallace when he was abroad, and he made a statement to the effect that he sought no office but would be glad to serve in any capacity that would advance the cause of peace. Prior to that, Mr. Wallace had suggested that Senator Claude Pepper would be a good standard bearer for a party whose main plank would be better re- lations with Russia. Pepper declined the honor with alacrity. The. history of third-party 'movements in this country is certainly not encouraging to possible aspirants. The electoral system, plus the very practical fact that only the established parties have the local organizations that get ,out the vote, works against them. Even Theo- Adore Roosevelt, inning as an ex-president -with an- enormous personal following, could -not make the grade. The elder LaFollette was .onle of the driving personalities of the time, Lbut the 'best he could do was carry Wisconsin. The last third-party candidacy, that of Repre- -sentative Lempke, collapsed like a pricked bal- loon. And the perennial minor-paity candi- dates Socialist, Prohibition, etc. rarely -carry even a single U. S. county. This is defi- miitely a two-party nation. , The next election, it seems -certain, will be .a fairly exact reflection of the Roosevelt- WVillkie race to the extent that there will be aio important difference over what our foreign policy should be. The isolationists, in either party, are now so heavily outnumbered that they hardly count. The campaign, as a conse- ,quence, will be almost entirely conducted on *domestic issues-unless, of course, some great 'and unexpected event occurs to entirely change Athe outlook. Ift is taken for granted-now thatfTruman will be the Democratic candidate. He will 'dominate the convention and write his own ticket. At the moment, the Republicans in the strongest positions are Taft, Vandenberg and SERIES OF SCOUT TROOP MEETINGS .CANCELLED A series of Boy Scout meetings -with various troops in this area to plan special ,programs., under the direction of R.

' Dewey, with Stassen and Warren as the prin- cipal lesser contenders. The issues on which the campaign will be fought are in the making. One is labor; taxa- tion is another lively issue, and the size of the budget will make another good controversy. A president whose party had lost control of both branches of congress would normally be regarded as a hopeless standard bearer. Usually loss of but one branch at mid-term has been sufficient to assure defeat for the incumbent. Yet the Republicans now have a very healthy respect for Mr. Truman's possi- bilities as a vote-getter, and they have lost the overconfidence that followed the last national election. The public' opinion polls indicate that this may be the closest contest in a great many years-possibly the closest since the Wilson- H1ughes campaign. That in itself is a novelty after a series of campaigns in which the result was never seriously in doubt. THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFLATION Port St. Joe business men have been joining with retailers all over the country in the drive to lower prices in an, effort to stabilize'the national economy. They took the initiative voluntarily and have done everything within their power to check the inflationary spiral. However, consumers shouldn't expect a mir- acle to occur. The influence of retail business on the final selling price of anything is strictly limited. It lies largely in holding retail profits to a reasonable minimum and in reducing op- erating costs. Prices on some commodities here in Port St. Joe have come down, but so far as basi ccosts are concerned, such as raw materials, wages and the rest, our local mer- chants can't do a thing about them. The causes of inflation go deep. Govern- ment debt and government spending ars, among the most important. We can't have a stable economy without a stable and conser- vative government fiscal program. The re- sponsibility for achieving this lies squarely on congress and the president. The demands of labor for higher and higher wages are also aiding in bringing on unbridled inflation, for the higher wages are passed along to the consumer of the manufactured products, so more dollars in the pay envelope are meaningless when each dollar purchases less and less. Finally, it is the inescapable responsibility of all business to hold profits to a moderate level, and to produce with maximum effici- ency and minimum waste. What it all adds up to is that inflation must he fought by all of us. The United States Bureau of Plant Industry has succeeded in developing an Irish potato, with a smooth skin, but what this country really needs is a carrot that tastes like some- thing to eat. A local woman says she can always tell when her husband has had a few drinks-he wants to kiss her. ted at Highland View PHONE 310 Star Want Ads Bring Quick Results At Small Cost.

The clipping follows: A COSTLY KISS OSAKA, April 16.-A 21-year-old .Japanese girl tolay walked into a local police station and handed' a st-artled officer the tip of a human tongue. "I 'bit this off a man twho forced me into an e pptiy school auditor- ium and tried to kiss me," she ex- plained. Police authorities ruled that she acted in self-defense, and predicted that the man won't try that again soon. The piece of tongue was about one inch long, officers said.

We made a remark on the front 'page a couple' of weeks ago about people not paying #their city gar- bage collection tax, and a couple of days later M. H. Elder stopped us on the street and' in a very in- dignanit tone of voice told us off, saying he had always paid' his gar- bage 'tax and was. getting darned, poor colle-ction service out in his neck of the woods, and that a lot of people who didn't pay the collec- tion fee were getting a 'blamed sight; better service, and if they'd pay up, perhaps the city could' af- 'ford to put on another truck. . We couldn't get a 'word in edge- ways for about 10 minutes, but when we finally interrupted che flow of words. we asked him why pick on us, we didn't: saiy he had failed' to pay his collection fee, In fact: we didn't even know whether or not he had any garbage, and if he had any complaint to make of other people not paying why not take it up 'with the c'iy dads. Finally 'we had ,to' walk away and leave him muttering to himself of the injustice of half the people of the city 'paying ithe cost of garbage collection ,while the ctiher half took a free ride. . He has a good' point there, but when thd garbage ordinance waa passed 'by kthe commission, City Attorney E. Clay Lewis told' 'em it had no 'teeth" in it and they would have a heck of a job enforc- ing it.

(Continued from page. 1)Y ent form. Senator Carl Gray of Panama City and Reps. Stokes and Courtney of .Bay county are very much in favor of the bill ass it now stands, and fight on the floor of the house is expected. The house passed' the booK- keepers bill, which was favored by all bookeepers in Gulf county. This bill sets the bookkeepers up as a profession and will give them protection against certified public accountants, infringing on their rght to earn a living. The house pa'ssi&d a compulsory arbitration bill making labor and public utilities arbitrate their griev- ances without striking. This bill was passed by a vote of 52 to 12, wvith your representative voting against the bill. From all appearance's, there does not seem to be any chance of the house passing any additional tax bills.
