clearance is ample!
That's why Hudson has a hug-the-road
way of going, even in cross-winds, and
on every conceivable kind of highway.
When you see how this car takes even
the sharpest curves, it will spoil you for
any other type of automobile! You sense
this delightful conformity to the road
the minute you begin your ride; and this
stability, plus the protection of riding
encircled by a sturdy box-section steel
frame, gives you a grand feeling of safe
well-being.
Sitting in this car is as downright satis-
fying as stretching out in your- favorite
easy chair. You ride on seats that are

4 Hudson amazes motor-car world by
using vital "step-down" zone-not
available in any other car-to bring
wou riding qualities and safety beyond
anything known before!
Word's going 'round-and fast, too-
that Hudson gives you a"sweet' smooth,
af'c ride that is a new high in motor-car
performance!
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. Recessing
the floor creates the "step-down" zone
and a center of gravity that is the lowest

wheels and. evcn with its low s:!ho.iintte,
this breathtakingly beautiful motor car
gives you more head room than any
other mass-produced car built today!
Hudson's use of the vital "step-down"
zone in its exclusive, all steel Monobilt
body-and-frame* is a development that
required years of engineering work, the
perfection of new production techniques,
and millions of dollars in highly spe-
cialized new plant investment. Perhaps
this explains why Hudson alone offers
this new design principle today.
The nearest Hudson dealer has a booklet
-yours for the asking-which explains
how "stepping down" brings you advan-
tages beyond anything known before!

Compass Stolen From Plane
Dr. J. 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.

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?"

Vast Acreage

(Continued from-page 1)
3000 hunters bagged 1100 bucks in
47 days of controlled hunting. The
reservation is also first class tur-
key territory.
Southersi Paper Company Tract-
A commission land acquisition agent
is currently negotiating for this
100,000-acre area located in Bay.
Gulf and Calhoun counties. The
land, now owned by the Southern
Kraft Paper Company, would afford
good deer and fair quail hunting.
Blackiwater State Forest Some
sections of this 181,000-acre forest
are already open to hunting. 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 .
Miorgan figures if the commis-
sion's plans go through, the 26,000
licensed hunters in the 17 North-
west Florida counties' will each
have about 43 acres, of state-con-
trolled land ill which to set their
sights. This, he says, would make
the panhandle district "'by *ar" the
best hunifting territory in the state.
In many sections of South and
Central Florida, the game director
declared, the average hunter doe-
well to claim 10 acres of open hunt-
ing ground, "controlled or other-
wise."
