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.

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 Continued on page 8) Revival At Kenney's Mill Closes Tonight The series of revival services which began at Kenney's Mill Bap- tist Cihurch on October 19 will come to a colse with the 7:45 service this evening.

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!

Advertising doesn't cost-it pays! 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."

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.
