Perhaps you've heard pleased and proud Hudson owners talking about this ex- citing new experience, but here's some- thing you may have missed hearing: The key to this amazing new ride lies 'n that area just under the floor of the zverar" ear, which in the New Hudson comess the "step-down" zone-as illus- trated in the sketches at the right. this "step-down" zone is all-important, because experience has shown that the 'ower to the ground a car can be built, the better it will handle, the more sta- oility it will have, the safer it will be, .nd thus the more enjoyable and com- "fortable will be your ride. lHudson, and Hudson alone, has accom- plished a near miracle of low-built streamlining and smooth, safe, comfort- able riding with a new type of base frame which surrounds the passenger compartment, and thus permits the floor to be lowered down within it.

R. Norton states that some- one, ps:olba'bly a youngster, ripped the compass from the instruments panel of his light plane, which he keeps at the airport. Value of the compass was $75. ProQbably most people don't know it, but since all pIlanes are licensed by the ,federal government, they come under fe.d- eral jurisdiction, and it is a federal offense to tamper with a plane or remove instruments from them. The compass probably is of no value to whoever took it, so if they will leave it on the doorstep of The Stari or drop it into the cockpit off Dr. Norton's plane, no questions will be asked nor will thesearch for the guilty party be continued.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country T E2 Right or Wrong FIRE CONTROL IS GOOD PROPOSITION With owners of 81 per cent of the total acre- age of Gulf county putting their John Han- cocks on the petition requesting the board of county commissioners to call a referendum in the November general election for the forma- tion of a county-wide fire control unit, there should be little question as to whether or not the measure will receive the stamp of approval, allowing Gulf county to join with eight other West Florida counties in a progressive step to guard their most valuable asset-timber- lands. Those landowners signing the petition for Gulf county should keep busy between now and November pointing out to those who do not own timberlands the importance *of this issue, for any registered voter may participate in the election and it is necessary, in order that the measure will carry,, that everyone know the importance of the proposition. Statistics show that in protected counties, losses from timber fires are substantially less than in counties where there is no protection .term operating. The cost is negligible to the counties, for most of it is borne by the state and federal governments. The county's share of the expense can be paid from existing funds or. from a special tax not to exceed two mills. Gulf county, and Port St. Joe in particular, is largely dependent upon the payrolls provided -by our timberlands, therefore it is essential that we all vote for this protection system in ,order to insure that these timberlands payrolls keep rolling our way. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO A girl in a bar stuffed nickels in a jukebox for one uninterrupted hour, and during that time played nothing but a tune called "Civiliza- tion," known also to some as "Btaigo, Bongo, Bongo" and by others by the sixfold repetition of the word "No" with which the first line ends. Another customer promptly shot her, and then, for good measure, shot the bartender. This appears eminently reasonable, but more careful consideration of the case will convince the thoughtful that the problem goes deeper than that. The jukebox, after all, remains ; so does the record, so do women with nickels. Furthermore, shootings inside a bar are always to be deplored-they distt;b the customers, sometimes break bottles, and are often char- acterized by poor marksmanship. If there is any recourse, it must be ap- proached in a more fundamental manner. One must proceed back through the woman with the nickels, through the jukeTox, through the record, to the original malefactors-the men \vh(o wrote the song. They are the guilty ones, for violence was inevitable the moment "Civili- zation" was published. Here is where legislation can have a sub- stantial effect. Let us make it the law that hereafter the authors of any popular song must hear it played, without interruption, for six hours before they will be permitted to make it public. Such a restriction would make it unlikely that any such song as "Civilization" would ever be published again. It would, in fact, make it unlikely that any popular song would. be published. Nothing could be fairer than that.-New York Herald-Tribune. LET'S BLOW OUR OWN HORN The Saturday Evening Post (of which we have been a steady reader since the age of 12 years) recently devoted a lead editorial to an interesting example of the inefficiency of socialism. Fares for commercial plane flights across the Atlantic recently went up $25. The American airlines involved had been showing a profit on their overseas business, and they didn't want to raise the rates. However, the British and French airlines, which are govern- ment-owned monopolies, had been taking heavy losses, and they insisted on the'boost. Inasmuch as the American systems' right to fly to foreign nations rests' on agreements which could be abrogated, there was nothing they could do but go along and charge the higher tariff. Commenting on this, the Post suggests that the American plane tickets carry a legend such as "This ticket would have cost $25 less if Socialism were working the way Socialists say it is." It then goes on to make this o)serva- tion: "Never do these apostles of Socialism explain just when and where Socialist econo- mies have delivered the goods. They content themselves with pointing out that -a 'planned society' ought to deliver the goods because it's a planned society. What's the matter with ask- ing for details of how they do it; and what's the matter with blowing our own horn, just softly, When we do it?" at a Panama City hospital. ing part on the program,'besides, tha Entertain Lottle Moon Girls hostesses, were Carolyn Baggett, The Lottie Moon Girls' Auxiliary Wanda Mae Spencer, Gwenrolyn met last Friday with the Misses Spencer, Mrs. J.

How- ever, the commission is now con- ferring with the state forest service in an attempt to develop the area more iully as' a game region. Lo- cated in Santa Rosa. and Okaloosa counties, the piney'woods tract is excellent for quail .
