Garrison Finish A garrison finish is the result of a brilliant climactic effort on the part of the performer and has its origin in the racing style of the late Edward H. (Snapper) Garrison, fa- mous jockey. His favorite trick was to hang back during the early part of the race and come through in the home stretch in a burst of speed. The term was earned by him in 1886 in the Eastern Handicap at Sheepshead Bay when he pushed Dutch Roller from the rear to win by a nose. Cold In Jax Says Mox C. P.

Our Country -,'' kRight or Wrong COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION One of the finest examples of community co-operation we have seen in the ten years we have been in Port St. Joe is that of the Juitior Chamber of Commerce and the high school getting together for the erection of an athletic stadium on the school property near the Centennial Building. The school officials are providing the site of five acres and the Jaycees will fence the area and erect a grandstand. Proceeds from school- sponsored events will go to the high school athletic department and proceeds from events sponsored by the Jaycees will go into the Jay- cee treasury or divided with athletic organiza- tions.. Upkeep of the field will come out of Jaycee proceeds. This setup will give the community an afh- letic park that probably would not be forth- coming for many years, especially if it had to wait on the accumulation of funds in the school building fund. In addition, it may be possible to persuade some of the minor league baseball teams from the north to come here for spring training. -- ...

In his proclamation, the president invited all business, labor, civic, religious and charitable groups and organizations, and all.agencies of the press, radio and the moving picture indus- try, to co-operate fully "with the objective of initiating a fire prevention campaign continu- ing throughout the year." The word continuingi" goes to the heart of the matter. It will serve no purpose if we think of fire prevention for a single week and then promptly forget it. The officially designated q week must simply be a starting point. You might combine this week with MIr. Drake's Letter Writing Week, which is, also next week. and write letters reminding your friends that it is National Fire Prevention Week, thus killing two weeks with one stone.' Every- thing, will help, for the fight against one of the worst destroyers of life and property must go on unal)baeted. According to tlhe national board of fire un- derwriters, United States fire losses nay ex- ceed $700,000,000 this year-the highest in our history. This is twice the destruction caused by the burning of San Francisco, and more than three times the devastation wreaked by the German air force on Britain in any single year. Deaths by fire will probably exceed 10.000 and may also set a new and ghastly record. Those figures alone should make us all sit up and'take notice of the fact that loss by fire has become a grave emergency. And every one of us should remember that fire respects no one-your home, your life, may be taken next. We imagine they call 'em envelope chemise because you can fold 'em into an envelope.

In an attempt to clear up con- fusion in Port St. Joe, Ronald Brugh, commander of the local Vet- erans of Foreign Wars post, listed the following federal regulations as they apply to veterans buying or renting homes or housing accom- modations: 1. All newly constructed homes and apartments must be held for sale or rent to veterans or their families for at least 30 days after completion. 2. Builders or owners are re- quired to place a sign, in a con- ':,picuous place on or near a new housing unit G.ffered for sale. The sign must indicate rent or sales price, the fact that the dwelling is being held for veterans, and the name and address of the person au- thorized, to sell or rent the unit. These regulations, supplied' by the office of the housing expediter, are still in effect and can be ne- forced, even though violations ai widespread, points out Brugh. Commander Brugh listed three exceptions in which veterans pref- erence does not apply. They are: 1. Sale of housing units for in- vestment purposes. However, the buyer must comply with veteran preference regulations in renting the individual accommodations. 2.

CARTER Abstracts of Title Loans on Real Estate Registered Real Estate Broker Oil Shortage Seen Despite Peak Output The 'American Petroleum Insti- tute reports that although the in dustry is refining more oil than it did' in the peak wartime year of .1945, temporary shortages of fuel oils and gasoline may be expected iu certain localities, particularly middle -western. The, middle west is the most crti- cal area, the API' said. becausec transportation problems are inten- sified there and the demand is hiis-b. Farm consumption of gaso line, caused by increased use. of tractors, has doubled in the mid- lands. Other points on which the insti- tute 'summarized follow: Demand for oil products no-w Is greater than in any year during the war, when military nee-ds w e r c "tremendous." The industry is refining more than 5,100,000 barrels of crude oil a day compared wi lt the average of the peak -wartime year 1 1945 of 4,711,000 barress a day, and with the pre-war average of 3,861,000 barrels a day in 1941. Ability of the industry to expand refining and transportation facili- ties quickly is limited by many shortages, including steel and other materials. River Development (Continued from Page 1) can move out to our seaports, and that freight from all parts of the world can move up into our inland territory." As Rep. Pace pointed out, "freight destined for every part of the world call move out to our seaports"-- and Port St. Joe, 'with it's. unsur- passed harbor which ships can en- Ster under their own power, without the necessity of a tug, is the logi- cal seaport to serve this great new river development. With couple. tion of the entire project, we can expect to see vessels of all nations lined up at our docks waiting to take on cargoes thkt will be brought, here through the intracoastal wa- terway 'system on huge barges pushed by heavy Diesel-operatie tugs. The Jim Woodruff Dam will be a concrete structure and earlh em- -bankment rising to a maximum height of 70 feet above the river bed. It will 'be about 6000 feet long at the top and will back water iup to, a point about 18 miles above Bainbridge on the Flint River and about 57 miles to the proposed up- per Columbia Dam site on the Chat- tahoochee River near Columbia, Ala. It will also provide a, lake covering an area of over 50,000 acres which will offer recreational facilities, to thousands of people. The power house structure at the dam will be about 260 feet long and 140 feet wide and will provide for the installation of three 10,000-kilo- watt generating units to provide cheap electric power which :.. badly needed for the industrial de- velopment of this section. The Apalachicola River below lthe dam will be improved for nine- foot navigation 'bly open-channel methods, while the upper Columbia nultiple-purpose dam and the Fort Benniinig navigation dam, along with the diam at Chattahoochee. will provide a canalized channel in the Chattahoochee River to Colum- bus and in the Flint River to Baii- ridge. Yes, with completion of ttil un- der-lakingg, Port St. Joe can 1.o;,: forVward to becoming one .of the leading ports on the Gulf as far s exports .ald imports are concern; d. thus ,bringing to fruition the d-i'..mm of those early settlers of oid SL. SJoseph who, back in 1840 built the first railroad in Florid.a to connect the ancient city with the inland wa- terway.in order that the products of the interior might find an outlet to the sea.
