Storm Warning Tower
Is To Be Erected Here

Word has lieen received here that
Watson Smith has been awarded
the contract for erection of a storm
warning tower for the United
States Department of Commerce.
The 75-foot, four-leg steel tower,
which is to be situated in the small
park at the A. N. depot, will be
fully equipped, with proper lights
for night display and flags for day-
light display. The old pipe mast
on the. dock near the warehouse
was blown down by high winds
about a year ago.
Horace Soule will act as display
man and will see that proper sig-
nlals are placed when necessary. He
also reminds thle public that there
is a barometer in the window of
the St. Joe Hardw'are store owned
by the weather bureau -which Is
checked periodically for accuracy.


'Red Tide' Reported
Moving Northward

The "red tide" which has killed
millions of fish off the Florida
coast in the Tampa area, is thought
to be moving northward; and' if re-
ports are correct, may 'strike in
this vicinity.
A commercial airline pilot flying
on a routine flight from Tampa to
Ne.w Orleans, stated, according to
press dispatches, that he saw a

Navy Will Conduct i Bacteria C o u n t In

Tests In St. Joe Bay Milk Here Too High


Protests From Navigational Stand-
point Must Be Filed Not
Later Than Aug. 22

The commandant of the Eighth
Naval District, New Orleans, has
requested -authority to set off ex-
plosive charge's in a section of St.
.osephs Bay described as follows:
Water area to westward of longi-
tude 85 23' 00" up to mean low tide
line; bounded on north by latitude
290 50' 30"; bounded. on the south
by latitude 29 48' 10".
Examination of a chart of the bay
places this location near the tip of
the point at a. point, if observed
from the mainland, about half way
,between the- T. R. L. Cater home
and Palmhn Point. :
Nature ,of the tests are not di-
vulged by the navy,, -but it is stated
that no permanent obstructions
will .be made in the area during the
time of the tests, as all will be con-
ducted by mobile equipment.
The area will be used intermit-
tently, and at least two weeks' no-
tification will- be given navigation
before each test period', which will
not last more than two weeks. It
is estimated that about 90 days of
any calendar year will be con-
sumed by the tests.
The navy will act as co-ordinator
and in a liaison capacity for in-
forming local interests and sched-
uling the tests. During the actual
conducting of the tests the area
will be restricted to all boats and
will 'be patrolled 'by navy vessels.
Any protests against the, opera-
tions from the standpoint of navi-
gation must be received at the or-
fice of the district engineer, Room
8, Building 8, 2301 Grant Street,
Mobile. Ala., not later than Au-
gust 22.

S a y s Health Board

Authorities Working On Matter,
But Urge Heat Treatment for
Milk Not Pasteurized

Mayor H. W. Soule, was informed
by tile state board of health that
the board's inspector had, found
that the bacteria count in some of
the raw milk being .brought into
Port St. Joe was dangerously high,
and the mayor brought the matter
before the city commission for ac-
tion.
The comnmlission called in W. E.
Trammel. local heatlh officer, and
instructed him to work with the
milk producers in an effort to elim-
inate the danger, he being assured
of the full co-operation of the city
commission.
It is pointed out by the state
health board that milk is a poten-
tially dangerous fobd if it is not
handled in the .proper manner. It
i.s an ideal food for mnan, and it is
also an ideal food for many of man's
microscopic enemies.
These disease-prodiucing germs
may get into the milk either from
a diseased animal or from human
'beings. who have contact with the
milk.
,Diseases of animal origin which
may be siprewad through milk are tu-
berculosis, undulant fever, foot and
Imouth disease and intestinal ail-
ments. The germs with which hu-
maans most commonly Infect mi;
are typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
septic sore. throat and diphtheria.
"If pa-ss'teurized. liiirris not avail-.
able," the board points out, "the
raw milk you use should e given
a heat treatment which will destroy
any disease germs which may be
present."
The heat treatment as suggested
by the health board is easily done.
by putting the milk in the upper
part of a double boiler, filling the
lower part with water, and placing
over a fire. After the water begins
to boil, the pan should be left over
the fire for three minutes and then
removed and cooled, immediately
by placing the upper part, which
contains the milk, in a large pan of
cold water. The water should, be
changed, or the pan placed in run-
ning water, until the milk is almost
as cold as the water.
Once pasteurized in this manner,
the milk should be kept cool, cov-
ered, and, in the same container un-
til it is used.

Eglin Field's Huge Test
Hangar Is Now At Work
The Anmy Air Forces has begun
using a giant $8,000,000 climatic
hangar to test planes and equip-
ment in extremes of heat, cold,
rain, sand, snow and wind at Eglin
SField, headquarters, of the air forces
proving ground, command.
The AAF now is able to make
the initial test of new aircraft un-
der controlled, weather conditions
instead of taking them to Ibases in
arctic or tropic regions, such as
Ladd( Field, Alaska. An oi.'l'icer said
this is expected to save many
months in the early phases of type
testing, but that experiments with
groups of planes and personnel
still must be made in the field.'
Described as the world's larget
cold, weather testing laboratory
with unlimited and timely possi-
bilities in this era of polar projec-
tion routes, the main unit .will ac-
commodate the consolidated B-36
the global bomber with a 230-foot
wingspan.
This climatic hangar is 200 by
250 feet, with a ceiling peak of 60
feet, and encloses 2,900,0'00 cuble
feet. The floor is )stressed to carry
a. 300,000-pound airplane; consid-
erably more than the B-36.
Temperatures inside the hangar
and associated units for special-
izied jobs can be varied from 70
degrees ,below zero to 165-degrees
above, and humidity can be con-
trolled from 10 to 95 per cent at
temperatures above 50 degrees.
Wind storms up to 100 miles per
hour, with sleet, rain, snow, dust
or sandi can be created as needed.
Artificial sunlight can duplicate
the effects of mid-day on the
dessert.
The hangar is so equipped that
all parts an-d equipment of the larg-
est military plane now desIgned
can be fully tested. The engines
can be run, guns firel, bombs
dropped, takeoffs, and landings can
be simulated, brakes, can De
checked, and electrical. hydraulic
and heating and ventilating sys-
tems can be tested.
The hangar can 'be used also Tu
study motorized group equipment
along with the men needed to op-
erate and maintain them.

PAY TO TEACHERS IN HIGH POSITION
Florida, as a result of legislatioli passed at
the recent session of the legislature, has moved
up to a high position in the pay of its public
school teachers. A survey made by the New
York Times brings out this favorable fact.
The average pay of the Florida teacher was
raised $770, which is $330 above the national
average increase. With an average pay of
$2600 for the next school year, as against $1830
for the past year, Florida leads the states of
the South, except Maryland, in that particular.
Although other southern states raised their
averages, none is as high as Florida's. Geor-
gia's is $1572, Virginia's $2000, North Caro-
lina's $1900, Alabama's $1800, Louisiana's
$2222, Kentucky's $1546, Arkansas $1500, and
Mississippi $875. Tennessee and South Caro-
lina are not listed in the survey report.
Incidentally, Florida's increase puts its av-
crage $200 above the national minimum salary
goal for teachers fixed by the National Par-
ent-Teacher Association, which is $2400.
Commenting on the figures brought-out by'
its survey, the New York Times says: "The
crisis is not over. Too many incompetent and
pnqualified teachers are still in the classroom.
And too many teachers are still receiving to-
tally inadequate salaries for the work they)
are asked to perform in a democratic society.
"Because the public has become informed
and is aroused to the needs of the schools,
conditions are expected to improve through-
out the country. There is a growing recogni-
tion that the public schools of the nation are
the bulwark of American democracy. The
Times survey indicates that the public is
stoutly behind the free public schools of the
land,"
The highly beneficial results in Florida,
placing its school teachers on a pay level more
nearly commensurate with the work they have
to do and the preparation they have to do for
that work, are due primarily to the fact that,
as the Times says, "the public has become in-
formed and is aroused to the needs of the
schools."
In Florida this followed factual disclosures
of school conditions and advocacy of a better
school program campaign which led the legis-
lature to act. -Tampa Tribune..


NEW TREND IN SHIPPING
It is becoming the custom to bewail the fate
of the American merchant marine today, just
as it was during the war to crow over its size
and splendid future. There was justification
for hailing the magnitude of the merchant
marine's war service; and there is equal cause
for concern over the merchant marine's pres-
ent status.
The war not only gave us a vast fleet of
emergency-type vessels sprinkled with some
modern ships. but it also crystalized a trend
just coming to the surface in 1939. That trend
was an enforced shift in emphasis from do-
mestic to overseas operations on the part of
Am erican steamship companies.
This shift is of great significance to Ameri-
can shipping and to the entire nation as well
It means that domestic carriers, aside from
tankers and industrial carriers, have reduced
operations to a fraction of pre-war levels,,go-
ing out of business completely in many !t--
stances because of unduly depressed rail rate
structures, increased operating costs, and
other land competition. For the nation, It
means thie in time of another .emergency, we
will' no longer have a large reservoir of do-
mestic shipping, of proven value in two world
wars. That portion of our merchant: marine
that engages in overseas trade will be bucking
fierce, foreign competition, much of it state-
controlled.
This startling change in the traditional char-
acter of American shipping warrants the
adoption of a national policy that recognizes
the effective manner in which domestic ship-
ping serves our economy and security, and
also considers the support necessary for an
active world trade fleet.

WEAPONS FOR THE FUTURE
Albert Einstein may be regarded as emnis-
cient on the subject of the atom bomb, since
his initial research made it possible. But he
does not regard himself as all-knowing.
The other evening he was asked by friends
what new weapons might be employed in
World War Ill. Hehook his head, and after
several minutes of meditation said: "I don't
know what weapons might be used in World
War III, but there isn't any doubt what wea-
pons will be used in World War 1V,"
"And what are those?" a guest asked.
"Stone spears," said Einstein.
-Boston Globe.

Someone says that choruses are the back-
bone of .a show, aiind-we confess to seeing
sme that we thought were ihe whole durned
'.na toaniy.

A prominent writer says that woman is
among the lower animals. We pause to ask:
"Is there anyone else they could marry?"

A restaurant in Honolulu makes a specialty
of a native dish called "Spanalolasquelti." Off-
hand, we'd say it was pi.

if you don't want your daughter kissed,
teach her personal dignity, watch her, and
feed her onions.

Growing of Ramie May

Supplant Cotton In South

The Federal Reserve Pank of At
lanta d-clares that many farmers
all over the South have been con-
templating the growing of ramie
as an alternative to growing cot-
ton.
Ramie is a fibre-bearing plant
of the hen-p famiily which is sev-
eral time stronger than cotton,
just as light, resists rot, does not
'shrink and can be woven into fab-
rics as coarse as heavy canvas or
as light as flimsiest silk.
Farms in Florida, Alabama, Lou-
isiana, Mississippi and more. re-
cently Texas and California have
proved that ramie can be grown
commercially in the United States.
Mills in the south and in the north
are evidencing interest in the fi-
ber's potentialities.
Heretofore the ramie manufac-
turing industry has 'been limited
to England, Franca, and Switzerlasd.
One Florida farmer alone exported
250,000 pound last year to Swit-
zerland. Itally has asked for about
45 tons a'month.
Ramie production, has boomed In
Florida, especially around Orlando
and the Everglades.
The Florida concerns who-have-
interested themselves in ramlto
may use the plant- to bring new in-

Truman Urges Vets Hold
Terminal Leave Bonds
On and' after September 1, termi-
nal leave bonds are cashaible at any
bank by the veteran owner. No loan
Shark or speculator will be per-
mitted to cash these veteran bonds
-not even friends tor relatives.
It is not necessary that a veteran
cash his bond until the maturity
date, during which time there will
accrue to the holder 21/2 per cent
interest annually.
President Truman urges all vet-
erans to hold onto their bonds if
it is possible, and warns that any
veteran who needlessly converts
his bond into cash is rendering "a
great disservice, to his fellow needy
comrades.
The bill signed by Truman allow-
ing cashing of the bonds also in-
cluded a clause extending the pe-
riod of time in which application
may .be made for terminal leave .pay
until August 31, 1948.
