Norton, who is su- pervising the collection job, "and they are all very happy the way the people of the St. Joe school area have co-operated in this project, and they feel that contributions will steadily mount until the goal is reachedd" The Key Club, a Kiwanis-spon- *sored organization composed of high school boys, has the following objectives: To develop initiative and leadership; to provide experi- ence in living and working to- gether; to serve the school and the community; to co-o-perate with the school principal; to prepare for useful citizenship, and to accept And promote the constitutional ob- jectives of Kiwanis International.

Spade the soil (when we were a kid we used to have to use a Cater- pillar tractor to plow up a garden plot for our grandmother) and re- move all grass, weeds and root's. Go down to the St. Joe Hardware Store and get some 4-7-5 fertilizer and spread about 5 pounds to each 100 square feet (that's 10 by 10 feet if you don't know) of garden soil. If broadcast or mixed into the soil of the plant or seed row, apply it at least 10 days before planting. If applied at planting time, dig two furrows 4 inches apart and about ('Continued on ,page 6) Doc Norton Is Elected As Kiwanis District Governor The Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club was ably represented at the 1947 convention of the Florida Kiwanis district held in Wesit Palm Beach October 12 to 14 'by those two local wolves, Jiohn Blount and Gale Trax ler. the new president.

Sharks Rout Bay High B's 33 To 6 St. Joe High Gridders Show Good Defense and Power Under Coach Craig The St. Joe Sharks, under the di- rection of Coach Marvin Craig, showed a slashinig backfield, and a stonewall line Thursday night of last week when they took on the Bay High 'B team from Panama City in an unscheduled game that was played at Centennial Field uw- der the lights before an estimated crowd of 1200. The St. Joe lads kept the Panama Tornado Baby Bees bottled up all through the evening, taking them down to a 33-6 defeat. St. Joe took the .ball on the kick- off and then took it on two line bucks to within scoring distance, Farr'is. and Owens carrying the ball. But a fumble aet the Sharks back on the Bay B 2-tyard line and after that the ball remained in the Bay B territory until the end of the quar- ter as additional fumbles lost the Sharks an opportunity- to score. The first score came in the see- ond play of the second quarter as "Moos*e" Ricektson, fullback and captain of the Sharks, took the ball over for the first touchdown. Try for point was made, and St. Joe led 7 to 0. The St. Joe 'boys went on in the second half to run rings around the Baby Tornadoes and chalk up 20 counters. In the third quarter Bus- -ter Owens pulled down a Bay B pass on his own 30-ya.rd line and took it down the field 70 yards for a touchdown, and Ricketson took (Continued on page 6) Former Pastor To Conduct Revival At Kenney's Mill Fall revival services will be held at the Kenney's Mill Baptist Church beginning with the morning wor- ship service next Sunday and con- tinuing with servicess daily at 7:45 p. m. through Octo'ber 31.

SOur Country Right or Wrong CAR INSURANCE ACT IS BIG STEP We have heard a number of car owners in Port St. Joe reviling the law which went into effect October 1 requiring operators of motor vehicles to be financially responsible for an accident. And quite a few of them, we know, would be hard-pushed to scrape up one or two thousand dollars should they become involved in an accident, letalone the ten or twenty thou- sand that might be asked for serious injury or death. The law does not compel a motorist to take out insurance, and he might drive for the re- mainder of ,his life and not need such insur- ance, but if he does carry it, has an accident in which someone is seriously injured or kill-d, he can let the insurance company do the worry- ing. If he doesn't carry insurance and gets in- volved in an accident, he might be sued for anll amount that, if he had a home, he would be forced to sell it to raise the money. And in ad- dition he would lose his driver's license until such time as he took out insurance or could prove himself financially responsible. Florida is, we believe, the 41st state to pass such a law. Heretofore, in Florida, anybody who had the price of a broken-down jaloppy could have it licensed and operate on the high- ways without thought of the dangers it might offer to other motorists. Under this new law a majority of these cars will be retired to the junk heap where they belong because of the fact that no insurance company \will insure a car that is not mechanically safe. Many drivers are not what they should be. Some have piled up records of accidents due to fast and careless driving, others have rec- ords of driving while intoxicated. The editor of'The Star, back in 1922, had the experience of being involved in an accident in which the blame rested entirely with the operator of the other vehicle, although the only damage was to our Model T Ford. A Polish vegetable grower with five kids, no money and a record of habitually driving while drunk, forced us off the street with his old decrepit truck, up on to the sidewalk and through a picket fence. The fence demolished a headlight and front fender and the truck caved in the side of the car. We suffered only a few bruises, but we had to pay for the repair of our car simply be- cause the Pole didn't have a nickle and a law- yer said we couldn't attach his truck because it was a means of livelihood. In the future, such people as t able to acquire insurance and, wi to drive taken from them, wil endanger the lives of others th or drunken driving. We believe it is a good law a IIIIIIII UIIIIIIIIIIII II IIIIIIIII II II llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIF AIRPORT NEWS Interest in the Civil Air Patrol unit to be organized -here Is very much in evidence these-xdays, with everyone at the field dashing about asking for application blanks ana fingerprint cards.
