Our Country Right or Wrong MORE JOBS THAN TAKERS In the past a popular saying was that the South's "greatest export" was its people- meaning people "going.North" for jobs. That the time may be near when this will no longer hold true is the hope of business and labor alike, for job openings reported by the Florida Industrial Commission indicate that there is less necessity for looking elsewhere for em- ployment than perhaps a large number of young Floridians may realize. At the end of April the number of unfilled jobs listed with the commission was smaller by several hundred than at the same time last year; but it still meant that there were more than 3000 openings -available for those who would enter them. That many of the young people now being graduated from high schools and colleges will be looking for jobs this summer means that the number of opportunities may soon ne re- duced, but in the long run, with the likelihood of the establishment and importation of new industries in the state, it is possible that no one will have to cross the Florida state- line..to avail himself of employment suited to his capabilities and at fair compensation. No state perhaps offers more to business and industry than Florida-in favorable locations for industrial enterprises, in facilities for ship- ping to and from all parts of the country' and the world, ,and in potential labor supply. While all this is true in its promise for the future, it is well to know that at the present moment there are more chances for empoly- ment in Florida, whatever its kind may be,. than there have been thqse who would take it over. ' THE THINGS THEY CAN FIND TO TAX The city dads of Port St. Joe are continually on the hunt for new sources of. revenue and keep their eye peeled for possibilities. Already the city collects taxes on cigarets, gasoline, telephone, gas and electric bills, and theater admissions, all ,of which brings in a sizeable bit of revenue. But there is one thing they ap- parently have overlooked-wooden legs. That ain't no joke, brother, for the cities ,of Paragould and North Little Rock, both in Ar- kansas, have levied such a tax. It wouldn't catch many in St. Joe. Only Frank Rowan, Hamp Bynum and Billy Hammock (Ye Ed doesn't wear his because it's too slow). But there are 'till several sources yet un- tapped, which might be considered by our city fathers. For instance, Little Rock, Ark., has adopted a $25 a year tax on "the sale of water- Hair Grower? Been in Cooper's barber shop re- ozntly and taken a gander at the bald pate of W. M. Skipper, third assistant tonsorial artist? Seems he and Georga Cooper have cooked up some sort of helacious concoc- tion and have 'been applying it as- siduously to Skipper's dome. And he is -ow proudly sporting a light, misty fuzz on the great open spaces. Looks like we might have had a late winter and Skipper had been sleeping with his head out the win- do)w' and. got a light deposit of ffost. melon, sliced, where served on premises and no other license is paid." Trenton, N. J., has, slapped taxes on bagatelle tables, towel sup- ply businesses, street pianos and organ grind- ers. Jugglers in Hood River, Ore are required to pay a fee of $20 a week to keep their jugg- ling inside the law. WE'RE AGIN FEDERAL AID TO SCHOOLS \e were talking to a local business man the other day and the matter of federal aid for education cro pped up. He was highly in favor of it. and when we told him we were "agln it" he wanted to know why. The Star is deeply interested in the educa- tional needs of Port St. Joe and Florida, and always will be, but we are opposed to federal financing of schools because it is a simple mat- ter of arithmetic. There is one and only one source from which the treasury of any form ot. government receives revenue, whether it be the city, the state or the federal treasury. Why should we try to fool ourselves ? Why send money to Washington to create a dozen extra bureaus, and then allow the individual states to receive a portion (in the majority of cases a small portion) of the tax dollar back? There is no such thing as the federal government fi- nancing anything. When a state or a locality receives a so-called "grant" from Washington it is merely returning a part of the funds col- lected in taxes from the citizens of the states and localities. We don't say that Port St. Joe and Gulf county are not doing their part for education, for in the eleven years that we have been pub- lishing this rag our, city and county schools have advanced tremendously. What we wouldT like to put over to our readers is that if they want to improve their schools they should as- sess themselves locally, where the dollar goes much further, than to send it to Washington where it costs a large part of every dollar to administer the revenue received. We have re- peatedlly told School Superintendennt Tommy 'Owens that we would like to see a larger mill- age set up for our schools and that we person- ally would be tickled to death to pay it rather than wait on a state or federal subsidy. Did you ever stop to think what you pay out in the way of taxes? The figures are startling. According to figures compiled by the United States Bureau of Census, the average tax bur- den per family in 1946 (it's a heluva lot higher today) in the United States was $1,340. The total taxes collected from local, state and fed- eral governments amounted to $56,873,000,000, and of this amount (77.8 per cent of the entire total) $44,223,000,000 went to the treasury in Washington, with only 11.4 per cent to tie states, and the remainder locally. These are just a few of the reasons why the editor of The Star will continue to advocate that the city and the county raise such sums of money as are needed to educate the children of this and future generations. It is a great re- sponsibility and it must be met, but let the ob- ligations be fulfilled by those who are supposed lo take care of their own.

Early Vegetables Should Be Sown for Late Crops Quickest maturing vegetable is the early radish which matures in 20 days; and slowest are winter onions which require 115 days. Between these extremes are other vegetables, which may take, 30, 40,' 60 or 80 days to reach the size and quality which best fits them for table use. In the early spring, these maturity dates are of less significance than later. Early varieties should always be sown for an early harvest, but the late ones also should be sown for fall and win- ter use. As summer advances, however, ma- turity dates become more important, and before sowing any crop the gar- dener should make sure it has time to mature before winter sets in. Seed catalogues usually give the maturity date for each variety listed. From your local weather bureau you can ascertain the average date of the first killing frost in your vicinity. Compare these two, and you can eas. ily avoid crops which have no chance to develop fully before winter comes. Until June 1, however, there are few vegetables which cannot be sown with good chances of a crop. Long season crops are lima beans, broccoli, cabbage, celery, collards, cucumbers, egg plant, kale, leek, onion, parsley, parsnips, peppers, New Zealand spin- ach, rutabaga, salsify, squash, Swiss chard and tomatoes. After June 15, these may be risky. Cauliflower and brussels sprouts are fall crops, and seeds should always be sown late. There are two salad crops which are at their best in the fall-endive and Chinese cabbage. Chinese cab- bage which matures in 90 days is difficult to grow in the summer, be- cause it runs to seed, but in the short days of autumn, it makes beautiful, elongated heads of crisp leaves havingI Brussels Sprouts Give Harvest After Freezing. a suggestion of cabbage flavor which are delicious cooked or raw. Vegetable crops which should not be sown in June include peas, early radishes, lettuce and spinach. All these require cool weather, and you may sow very early kinds in August, so they will mature in the autumn. Sweet corn is a crop for late sowing. Early kinds may be put in as late as July 1, and the finest corn is often produced by late sown seed. Quick maturing crops include snap beans, beets, carrots, endive, lettuce, kohlrabi, turnips, spinach, peas and radishes. The later you sow, the "ear- lier" should be the variety you sow.

St. Joe Motor Company Monument Ave. Port St. Joe, Fla. The Importance of $repyA Dov Here is the story. of a new principle of design that has rocked the industry and given Hudson unique beauty not pos- sible in any other type of car. THE recessed floor in the new Hudson -now widely known as the "step- down" feature-is the talk of the auto- mobile world. And rightly so! This inter- esting development is the key to a new kind of motor-car beauty never before obtainable. People everywhere are attracted by Hudson's low, streamlined silhouette and free-flowing lines.- Only Hudson, because of its exclusive recessed floor that you step down onto, is Able to offer streamlined, low-built beauty without asking you to give up interior head room. let's take a frank look at the motor- car designer's problem. Since streamlin- ing an automobile reduces available head room for rear-seat passengers, to achieve a low silhouette and maintain adequate head room, both floor and seats must be lowered to compensate for the lowered roof. The recessed floor is a necessity. But' it is difficult to lower floors and seats, because in all cars, except Hudson, they are built on top of a frame. Only Hudson has a new, all- steel Monobilt body-and-frame*, part of which is a rugged base structure that permits low- ering floors and seats down within the frame. The sketches below illustrate this design problem and show how Hudson's recessed floor provides a low, stream- lined silhouette, yet preserves head room. OTHER CARS The car above cannot be streainlined because the need for head room above the rear seat (which is built on top of a frame) makes it impossible to lower the roof. OTHER CARS Of course, it is possible to adopt free-flowing lines without recessing the floor, as sketched in the car above, but over-all height must be raised, and this destroys the possibility of a lowa shou- ette, which is the mark of the modern motor car. ;, ... NEW HUDSON Here is the long, low, gracefully streamlined Hudson-only five feet from ground to top. You can see how the streamlined roof comes- down sharply over the rear-seat portion of the car, as compared to the other types of roof tines shown in sketches to the left. But Hudson floors are recessed down within the frame, seats are low- ered, so you get more than ample head room. The "step-down" principle requires years of engineering work, the development of new production techniques and equip- ment, and millions of dollars of highly specialized new plant investment. Per- haps this explains why Hudson alone offers this vital new design principle today. You'll probably .expect the motor car that is the talk of the nation to offer you even more than beauty and comfort. And it does! Your nearby Hudson dealer will show you The Importance of "Stepping Down"-also its results in riding and driving ease, performance and safety.

Dequine urges rishlrimen to send in all tags, giving the length and eight of each catch, the (late and the location where caught. This in- formation, he said, will give the commission valuable data not only on the percentage of fish caught by hook and line, 'but on their growth and migration halbits as 'well.
