perience. This schedule depends
upon the educational bill passed

Following is the proposed' new

Baccalaureate Is Unusual In That
Member of Graduating Class
Delivered Sermon

School activities drew to a close
this week with the baccalaureate
services held Sunday evening and
the. graduation exercises Tuesday
evening, with 21 seniors receiving
their coveted sheepskins from the
hand of Tom Orwens, county su-
perintendent of schools.
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

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."
Trustees. of the duPont estate and
the St. Joe Paper Company have
made large investments in FEC
bonds (holding a majority oif the
firsthand refunding mortgageibonds)
in an effort to 'aid in developing
various east coast communities
and assure continued operation of
the Florida East Coast road.

Expect 200 Boy

Scouts for 3-Day

Camporee Here

First Time In History of Bay-Gulf
District That Event Has Been
Held Within a City

Final plans for a huge Boy Scout
camporee, the first of its kind in
the history pf the Bay-Gulf district,
were completed this week and this
afternoon approximately 200 Boy
Scouts from 2.2 troops 'will gather
in this city for thre-e days of ac-
Livities and, operations. 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.

Patient In Hospital
The friend's, of Al Smith will re-
gret 'to learn that he is a patient
in the local hospital, having re-
ce.ntly undergone an operation.

Mrs. Morris In Hospital
The many friends of Mrs. T. 'V.
AMorris will learn with regret that
she is a patient at the. municipal
hospital.

Cox was ruled out by the umpire
for interference with the catcher
in spite, of the fact that the Spar-
tan catcher stepped in front of the
plate to take the ball, knowing it
was to be a squeeze. 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

Jim McCall took hitting honors
with a triple, a single and a homer
in four times at bat. Lamar Sale

dSid we do yesterday and what shall

must answer that question-yes or

Our Country 'Z.7- Right or Wrong

A THIRD PARTY IN THE OFFING?
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

' 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.

" "i


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

Ed Bartee, Ifrom far-off Japan,
sends us a brief note, saying: "I'm
sending you a clipping I found
which may be of some interest to
the young folks at home."
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.

And someone sends us this novel
birth announcement:
BIRTH OF THE MONTH CLUB
Announcing the latest selection
of ,the "Birth of the Month Club"
(a stork 'publication)! The title is
"Janeit Marie," by Mr. and Mrs.
Herman' Callahan. The size is small.
and hidebound in delicate hand-
washed pink. It is guaranteed' to
stand a lifetime of 'wear and tear.
Weight of the volume is 8 pounds
8 ounces. Date of publication: Jan-
uary 4, 1947. The copy is not for
sale, but is on permanent exhibi-
tion atRingold, Ga.

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.

Our wife received a delayed -wed-
ding present last week-a iGeneral
Electric mixmasiter-and since then
she has 'been operating it .practic-
ally continuously. We've
had half our food whipped' in that
dingus since it arrived. In tacit, it
begins to look as though our teeth
never 'will get. any more exercise.

The house passed' the booK-

by all bookeepers in Gulf county.
This bill sets the bookkeepers up
as a profession and will give them
protection against certified public
