and Senior Monarchs

By MRS. R. A. SWATTS
The goblins arrived in Port St.
Joe early this year in order to at-
tend the Hallowe'en Carnival held
by the Parent-Teacher Association
last Saturday on the vacant lot ad-
joining Young's Food Store. This al-
fair, always a gala occasion in St.
Joe, was even more "gala" than
usual this year, and paid,off. hand-
somely. both in fun and receipt's.
Everyone had a wonderful time,
and the P.-T. A. cleared, over $700
to finance their program for the
year.
Everybody loves a parade! Espe-
cially a Hallowe'en parade! And
this 'one, directed by Rev. T. D.
Byrne, was top-hat! Formed at the
bank building, it was composed of
the school band the Boy and Cub
Scouts, several attractively decor-
ated floats entered ,by the Rotary,
Kiwanis and. Sportsman's Clubs,
the Key Cl'ulb, and the coronation
float, and last, ,but not the least
important, the children in costume
*-prolbaibly the largest number ever
to participate and wearing the
greatest variety of costumes. Cats,
witches, ghosts, clowns, gypsies, pi-
rates and Indians swarmed over
the, carnival grounds; peoples of
other nations, S-panish, Mexican,
Dutch, French; storybook charac-
ters, among them. Cinderella and
Little Bo Peep; miniature ladies in
evening dresses and, elaborate coif-
fures; even Uncle Sam was there,
and a cigaret girl and a (bell hop!
For the first time the carnival
boasted two coronations-junior
and senior-the junior at 5 p. m.
and the senior at S p. m.
Marching two by two, "While the.
Band. Played On." the children in
costume took their places on and
around the stage, and they were
followed by the lovely miniature
queen, Mary Davis, and her gallant
king, Ecky Gaillard, who placed the
crown upon her head.
Hours of fun followed. Gaily dec-
orated 'booths provided eats, drinks,
games and other forms of amuse-,
ment. The pony ride, as usual, at-
tracted the "littlest" folk as well
as some of the older ones.
Highlight of the carnival pro-
gram was the senior coronation in

Watson Rules School
Voting Not Changed

Attorney General Tom Watson
states, that Florida's lew school
law did not change the qualifica-
tion requirements for a trustee can-
date or voter in the biennial school
district elections.
lHe pointed out that the qualifica-
tions for an elector for the school:
district election to Be held next
Tuesday are tile same as hereto-
fore. Florida lawv requires that
registered voters must pay a tax
on either real or personal property
to ,be eligible to vote in. the school
district election.
However. the attorney general
cited a 1945 opinion in which lihe
held "there is grave donu'bt" whether
the law is constitutional "insofar
a.s it appears to require that an
elector lie a taxpayer in order to
vote on questions other than levy-
ing and collection of a school tax."
Until the law is held invalid by
t.he courts, however, Watson saia,
it is the duty of the school ana
election .officials to limit the voting
to those electors who pay a tax on
eal or personal property within the
district.

Opportunities to View Such
A Spectacle Few and
Far Between '

The people of Port St. Joe and vi-
cinity have been extended an invi-
tation to attend thle encampment
area of "Operation Seminole" to be
held about two miles beyond Bea-
con Hill next Sunday and' Monday.
It is hoped that many will take
advantage of this opportunity, as
the army, navy and. air force have
gone to great trouble to bring ivs
equipment that will 'be of Intereat
to John Q. Public. There will be
adequate parking areas available,
and state highway patrolmen and
military police will be on hand to
guide and' assist the visitors.
Sunday afternoon a stationary
display will -be unveiled that will
include several navy aircraft (Sky-
raider and Corsair), a V-2 rocket,
tanks, armored artillery, mortars,
small arms display and -many other
pieces of armed force equipment,
In addition, an interesting display
will be made of the "aggressor"
force's, equipment and personnel,
the enemy in Operation Seminole.
Sunday will 'also see small ad-
vance parties come ashore on the
beaches, plus the invasion by a
simulated American, infantry di-
vision ,whose mission is to secure
a beacehheadi large enough to allow
the corlbat command "A" of the
2nd Armored Division to come
ashore Monday.
Commencing at 9 a. m. Monday,
ien and equipment of the 2nd Ar-
mored' Division -will hit the beaches
with air cover provided by P SO0
Shooting Star jet fighters. Ships of
the navy's amphibious forces Atlan-
tic fleet will stand otf shore and,
simulate a heavy fire support of
the invasion.
Operation, Seminole has the ims-
sion of driving the enemy aggressor
fro-m the southeastern part of the
United States, which has been hypo-
thetically seized by -him.
The amphibious landing of the
2nd Armored Division from Camp
Hood, Texas. will be acconmpariied
by narration over loud-speakers by
competent army, navy and air forc-,
men in order to better describe
anmd picture the operation for the
puihlic. A special site has been set
aside on the beach for those people
who care to see the show.

Our Country Right or Wrong

VOTE TUESDAY IF YOU'RE ELIGIBLE
All freeholders of Gulf county, that is, those
who pay taxes upon real or personal property,
will be called upon Tuesday to go to the polls
and select three trustees to carry on school af-
fairs of Gulf county for the next two years,
and also to pass upon village necessary to
carry on school activities for a like period.
It is estimated that there, are approximately
1300 freeholders in this county, but we'd be
willing to bet a wooden nickel that when the
votes are counted there won't be more than
half this number of ballots.
The average citizen too often takes little
interest in the affairs of government, and this
is not a wholesome situation, for active pub-
lic interest is the best guide to public officials
and is the best curb if they are not carrying
out their duties and obligations properly. The
freeholders pay the taxes for the support of
our county school system, therefore they
should take a deep -interest in the matter of
selecting the proper men to administer thie
affairs of our schools. Every taxpayer has a
personal stake in this matter and should see
to it that it is protected.
If every freeholder went to the polls next
Tuesday to express his preference our county
as a whole would be immeasurably better off.

If every newspaper in the United States re-
fused to print a line of what the Russian rep-
resentatives say at the United Nations meet-
ings and the press associations refused to
carry such news over their wires, we believe
-the ratings of Vishinsky and his ilk would -
soon peter out. Their charges of warmonger-
ing and such is for a purpose-to keep the
people of our nation stirred up and to keep
Communism in the public eye. And the same
treatment might be'applied to Claude Pepper.


No Cars for Pennies
Says U. S. Treasury
Don't send' any copper pennies to
the treasury department at Wash-
ington, D. C., in the expectation of
getting a new Ford car. There is
nothing to the rumor that the treas-
usy is doing anything like that.
Officials are mystified by these
stories going the rounds and are
baffled as to how the report got
started.
,Seems the story is that holders
of 1943 copper pennies would be
given a new car after the war. But
all pennies minted in 1943 were
made of steel with a zinc-covering
wash, to conserve copper. How-
ever, after the car story began,
194.3 coppere" pennies began flood-
ing the treasury.
In each instance, investigation
disclosed that the pennies sent in
were fraudulent. Someone had gone
to the trouble to remove the zinc
wasi and replace it with a copper
plating.
The treasury wants it known em-
phatically that it is .not giving
away cars for any kind of pennies,
copper, zinc, wooden, 1943, or any
other date. Period!

The omly difference between a 17-year lo-

PEPPER'S PRANKS
Senator Claude Pepper, who is probably do-
ing as good a job of misrepresenting his con-
stituents as anyone ever done on Capital Hill,
is nothing if not consistent. Having dedicated
himself as the self-appointed Russian apologist
in this country, he is determined to carry o01,
regardless of abundant evidence of a Soviet
effort to foment world revolution to advance G
Communism throughout.the world. In fact his j
speeches hither and yon ring with the mon-
otonous repetition of a cracked phonograph
record.
Speaking before the CIO convention the
other day, Pepper, dealing in generalities,
scored "cartelist-minded lawyers," Wall Street
and warmongers as being responsible for the
ever-widening rift between this country and
Russia. His entire speech was a rehash of a
speech made before the Third -All-Slav Day
rally of the Midwest Division at Pilsen Park,
July 7, 1946, and at his request inserted in the
Congressional Record of Friday, August 2, in
which he was a little more explicit to the point
of naming John Foster Dulles as the big bad
wolf in Russian relations.
Pepper may have been naive ,enough at the
outset to believe that Russia had no expan-
sionist aims, but to express such views 22
vetoes and a new Comintern later is just plain
silly. Neither Wall Street nor cartelist lawyers
have been tossing vetoes around with reck-
less abandon, despite anything Pepper may
have to say about the matter.
Pepper inists that he is opposed to Corl-
munism in the United States, but holds that
any European nation which wants Communism
is entitled to have it. No one disputes the sen-
ator here, but all the evidence indicates that
there is no free expression of the people for
Communism but rather that it is being forced
upon small nations through intimidation and
actual force, despite Pepper's statement in thie
Congressional Record that "I have it from the
lips of most responsible statesmen that Com-
munism in every country in Europe today
where it exists is a patriotic indigenous move-
ment of that country."
Claude should refrain from such utterances

First Aid
Severe injuries should be treated
promptly by a doctor, but scratches
and small cuts, which happen so
often to children, may be treated
safely at home with simple pre-
cautions. According to Dr. Benja-
min Spock in his "Common Sense
Book of Baby and Child Care," the
best treatment for scratches and
small cuts is to "wash them with
soap and pure water on a piece of
sterile absorbent cotton." If not,
keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide
for the washing and rinsing. Ac-
cording to this authority, an anti-
septic is less important than care-
ful washing.

Marking "the beginning of a new era in naval weapons," the United
States Navy fired ;a captured German V-2 rocket from the flight deck
of the 45,000-ton aircraft carrier USS Midway.- This was the first time
in history such a bombardment rocket has been launched from ships
or a m.eoving platform. Primary purpose of the experiment, held at sea
several hundred miles at sea off the east coast of the U. S., was to
ascertain if large bombardment rockets could be fired off modern air-
craft carriers without modifications affecting flight operations. The
rocket traveled six miles and exploded.
