Fire Loss At Gunn Shop Set'At %l 2,000O The fire department was called ,out at 2 o'clock Sunday morning to combat a blaze in the woodworking shop of E. F. Gunir on Woodward Avenue near Sixth Stre-et. The fire, of undetermined origin, had gained considerably headway before being discovered and the greater part of the shop and garage we're demol- ished before it could be brought un- der control. Mr. nGuin stated that his Io.ss was approximately $12,000 and that he carried but $3000 in insurance. He had just a few days previously pur- chased the building of Bob Kingry at Highland View and had stored some new machinery in the shop preparatory to moving it to tae new location. In addition the loss included his regular woodworking equipment and lumber stock, honey extracting equipment and quite a bit of honey. Five barrels of honey and some lumber were saved from the flames. BIGGART TO BE HEAD OF BROOKSVILLE SCHOOL Prof. W. A.

Voters Will Pass On Fire Control Unit for County Owners of 81 Per Cent of Acreage Sign Petition Calling for , Referendum Early in February representatives of the Florida Forest Service met with the Gulf county board of com- mnissioners to present the facts con- cerning the establishment of a'., county-wide fire control unit. This meeting proved very successful and the county commissioners passed a resolution to the effect that they would accept a petition of the peo- ple calling for a referendum in the general election to be h'e-ld next No- vemiber if properly signed and pre- sented to them. The board also went on record as favoring, such a pro- gram for Gulf courity. The petition, which is a require- ment of the state lawv regarding es. ,. tablishment of a county-wide fire control unit, has been completed. Owners of approximately 81% of the total acreage of the county have signed, and represented their lands on this petition. At present 203,389 acres of land are under fire protection in GulY county, a.nd if the. citizens vote fa- vora bly toward establishing this county,wide fire control unit, all lands in the county would go under protection with the Florida Forest Service. -Under the county-wide pro- gram, landowners, both large, and small, would benefit iiall' fromn fire control. The forest service already has most of the necessary improve- ments to protect the county from wild fires. There are at present In. thl county three towers, 82 miles ot, telephone line', one oiflfice, one truck shed'and eight houses, in addition to the mobile equipment. The only changes necessary would, be to, ex- pand the area of fire prote.ctiou to include all lands within the county and to add to the present organiza- tion additional personnel and equip- inent to give adequate fire protec- tion to the county.

Rear power-take-off runs power- driven implements from standard spline shaft drive. '0 The Universal "Jeep' is for hauling and towing on 'or off the road in all kinds of weather. It carries up to 1200 pounds, pulls a braked load of 2Y2 tons at highway speeds. 0 The "Jeep" can be used with the latest development in modern farming-a new hydraulic lift that raises, lowers or adjusts depth of implement while the oper- ator remains comfortably seated. And of course it handles conventional pull-type implements, too. * It provides mobile power anywhere on the farm; for operating many types of power-driven equipment such as separators, feed grinders, buzz saws, hammer mills, ensilage eqters and numerous others. This message gives but a glimpse of the all-around, year-'round usefulness of the Universal "Jeep". We invite 'you to see this versatile vehicle in action and let us prove that it does more different jobs than any other single farm vehicle. Call for a demonstration now-on your farm, with your equipment. M. G. LEWIS & SONS GARAGE Monument Avenue Phone 6 Port St. Joe.

Were sincerely grateful to our Customers and Friends Demand for International Trucks has been greater than supply, Our customers and friends know that. And our customers and friends have been patient and cooperative. But a few people seem to think that what is called aseller's market is a bed of roses for the seller. Believe us that just isn't so. Our business is in this community; and when things pile up so we can't take care of our customers and friends as fast as they'd like to be taken care of, we're not in a spot that we enjoy at all. But there are two things we're proud of: One is the service maintenance we've been able to furnish to keep International and other trucks on the job and to hold operating costs down. The other is the fine cooperation we've had from customers and friends. Our customers and friends have been mighty understanding; and we want to say, publicly, right now, that we deeply appreciate the fine spirit they've shown. We urge truck operators now to do two things: 1. To continue to use our truck maintenance service for trucks now in operation. That way they'll get best results until new trucks are delivered. 2. To place with us promptly the specifications for the new trucks they need. That way they'll help us make the earliest deliveries possible. M. G. LEWIS & SONS GARAGE MONUMENT AVENUE PORT ST.

Our Country "- Right or Wrong JUST SUPPOSIN' Ever since the city of Port St. Joe enacted the ordinance providing a fee for garbage col- -lection there have been a considerable number of residents who have refused to pay the nomi- nal sum of 50 cents per month for the service, yet they continue to take advantage of it at the expense of those who do pay, and they probably would raise cain with the city com- 'missioners should they be refused the collec- tion service. Probably back of the attitude assumed by' these delinquents is the idea that the city can and will continue to perform its various func- tions even if taxes are not paid. To a certain extent this is true, but it could not continue indefinitely. Eventually the city would be forced to discontinue all public services for lack of funds to carry on. Now, just supposin' That two-thirds of the taxpayers n*- Port St. Joe went on strike and decided not to pay any taxes at all. The question that would then confront our city officials would be to de- cide which of the public services to discontinue first. Probably the-first service to be dis.contintiled would be the cleaning of the streets. That 'un- doubtedly could be dispensed with, but in a short time our little city would become mighty -unattractive. After that the subject of this edi- torial, garbage removal, would probably come next, for this is a service each householder -could perform for himself. It would be a rather unpleasant task to many-and extremely un- pleasant to those who had failed to pay their taxes for such service. Street lighting could be cut down to a few hours a night, and eventually discontinued al- together, but this would prove very annoying to everybody and result in many accidents and an increase in various forms of thievery. The next logical economy would be the dis- missal of all day police, and eventually the aight force would have to be dispensed with unless they wanted to work for nothing. Suen action, no doubt, would be followed by an epi- demic of breaking and entering, sneak thievery .and every other form of depredation usually Performed under cover of darkness. 'Probably the last service to be discontinued would be that rendered by the fire and water ,departments. In addition to the inconvenience of having to depend on cisterns and tanks, the few remaining citizens who would be left in Port St. Joe by this time would awake one ,morning soon after the fire and water de- partmnents were closed down, to find that their fire insurance had been cancelled or that the rate had been doubled or trebled. Rather a gloomy picture, isn't it? But then we were just supposin' . The point we are endeavoring to put over to those who feel they shouldn't be required to pay a garbage collection fee is what would happen if we all refused to pay our taxes. The city has no magic means of rendering these services. They all require money, and the city lias income only from the waterworks, a small dab from the state race track fund and the tax- payers, who are, in a very real sense, the city. - The city of Port St. Joe is merely a term for the association formed by the people them- selves for the purpose of securing and enjoy- ing- the benefits to be had by pooling their re- :- urces and energies. If one fails to carry his Iurden for any reason, the load of each other one is made a bit heavier. If half of the people will not assume their share of the load, the burden of the other half is doubled. PEPPER REBUKED Senator Claude Pepper suffered the most stinging defeat in his political history in the recent primary in his home state of Florida, and many Floridians predict the Florida pri- 1marv election of delegates to the Deialocratic national convention marks the beginning of the end of Senator pepper's political career. Senatr 'Pepper, who has boasted of heading the l"oio ida delegation to the national conven- tions of 1940 and 1944, may avoid being even an alternate delegate this year and will have virtually no voice in the deliberations of the 1948 ["lorida delegation, as only four of Flor- ida's 20 votes in the delegation are in the hands of delegates sponsored in the primary exclu- sively by Senator Pepper. Florida had the longest ballot in the state's history and the delay in the final count, plus the confused situation, probably is responsible for most news reporters missing the signifi- cance of the results. Florida andd Alabama are tie only two south- ern states that elect their delegates to the na- tional convention and their presidential elec- tors by a vote of the people in the regular tpri- mary. ilMost states designate them by party convention. In Albama, where the issue was iclearcut, the vote was overwhelmingly against Truman and the "Civil Rights Program." In Florida the ballot was long and the issues were deliberately confused. Florida has 20 votes in the national convention and eight presidential electors in the electoral college, but the final results show that Florida voters are definitely anti-Truman and anti-Pepper. The Florida Democratic Club, a strictly anti- Pepper organization,, qualified and sponsored a full slate of'candidates for delegates pledged -to co-operate with other southern states and against Truman, against Pepper, and against the so-called "Civil Rights Program." It also endorsed seven of tile eight candidates for presidential electoy. Pepper spent much time in Florida lining up a slate of pro-Pepper candidates for delegates. At the last minute a third slate of candidates was put in the race. This slate was publicized and advertised as middle-of-the-roaders on the southern revolt but anti-Truman and anti-civil rights. The final results give the strictly anti-Pep- per group 111/% convention votes and the comn- bined opposition 81/., votes. Of these 81/ /votes candidates sponsored exclusively by 'Senator Pepper hold only four votes. Of the seven candidates for presidential elector endorsed by the Florida Democratic Club five were elected, one defeated, and one went into the second primary. This analysis of the Florida primary cer- tainly indicates that ultra-liberal Senator Pep- per, who a short time ago, as the result of his nation-wide speeches as apologist for Joe Stalin, gave him the nickname of "Red Pep- per," is well on the way to political oblivion in his home- state of Florida. He's a persuasive gentleman, but just at this juncture it looks as though his powers of cajolery will be taxed beyond his capacity.-Palatka News. Ancients used to believe that if a man laid his head against the head of a young girl it would cure a headache. After all, there is noth- ing like the old remedies. Could it be that the war inow going on in the Holy Land is leading up to the fateful Battle of Armageddon predicted in the Bible ? Statistics show that 17 per cent of Ameri- cans are flat-footed. W'e hope no one digs up the sad figures on how many are flat-headed. What Charlie McCarthy has done for Bergen the South's slash pine will do for its people.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA STARDUST and MOONSHINE Early in the spring, before the trees began to leaf out, we notice a couple of mocking birds fluttering about among the bare branches of two elder t *.es (at least we think they're elders) which we set out some eight years ago. They came back occasionally for the next two or three weeks and each visit re- sulted, in lengthy discussions be- tween the two. Finally the trees became fully leafed out, and about a month ago we were, awakened early in the morning by the songs of the two birds.We mentally cursed them for waking us, turned over and continued ,our snooze. And now this occurs every morning, earlier and earlier as the days get longer. for those two pesky feathered fiends have set up housekeeping in our trees. We, cuss 'emi in the early morning hours, threaten- ing everything from mayhem to cut- ting down the trees, but after we've had our morning coffee our mood changes and 'we hearken to the singing. of these birds who have no song of their own but have to be cnontent with picking up the notes .f their feathered friends. We we,- telling'little Anthony Prid- gain (quite a regular visitor to our" -domicile) about the birds and how they woke us up every morning, and he volunteered to get his air gun and knock 'em galleywest. We. in- formed him that if he so much as knocked a tail feath :r off 'em we'ci tan his tall so that he wouldn't be able to sit, down for a week. . Now we're wAiting to see what comes out of the nest of these two warblers. ',. '; m And speaking of that Pridgeo t family down the street. Ed dis- covered recently that a bear had i;een helping himself to honey from hMs hives out in the woods and had knocked over several stands, so he decoeedl to get Mr. Bear. He went *out one night and crouched in his honey house with a shotgun in his hand and the door open a wee crack. To make the situation clearer to our readers, the ground around the honey house is well-padked'. A's Ed waited patiently he was startled by a loud "Whooif!" almost in his face. (Seems the hear was interested in what was in the honey house and Ed. hadn't heard him on the hard ground.) Ed' says he almost fell over, and by the time he got the ,door open the bear had high-tailed into the bushes. He says he took a couple of shots in the direction of the noise,, but without result. (We'd be willing' to' bet those shots went -throtigh the .61oolf-didn't get an op- Jportunity to examine the scene.) -. .- Wo'nder who was thie wors: scared when they came ey., to eye, Br'er Bar or Ed?

In each o.r these al-.as the experimental plant- ings were made 'with treated seed and an equal quantity of untreated seed, under the same growing con- ditions 'for one year. One, of the .main purposes of the test will be to learn how well tie pelletized seed -will grow when just strewn on the ground. R. U. Titus, management chief of the ;forest ser- vice,, said he hoped the tests prove that direct seeding through use of pelletized seed ,proves practical be- cause it would save the state and its citizens thousands of dollars on costly nursery and planting opera- tions every year. In the North and West other or- ganizations have tried out pelleted seed, but not for reforestation. The first use of pelleted seed is believed to have been in the sugar beet in- dustry, where planters found it fairly successful. Whether or not it proves practical in reforestation re- mains to !be seen a year from now.
