Uniform Deer

Hunting Season

Set For State


Fish and Game Commission Also
Sets Open Season for Squirrels,
Quail, Turkeys, Marsh Hens

For the first time in history the
state game an'd fresh water fish
commission has adopte-d a state-
wide deer hunting season with uni-
form hunting days in each of the
state's -ive conservation districts.
The five-man board selected No-
vember 24 to January 5 as. the sea-
soun for hunting buck deer "with one
or more horns not less than fiv&
inches long." The first :five days
of the.season will be open to hunt-
ing, but Monday and Tuesday of
each week will be closed thereafter
throughout the state.
In the S.econd, District, deer hunt-
ing- will be planned for an indefinite
period in Gilchrist, Alachua, Bra'd-
ford, Clay and Union counties, that
part of Baker and Columbia coun-
ties south of U. S. 90 from Jackson-
ville to Lake City, and that part of
Columbia and. Suwainnee counties
south and. east of State Highway
247 'from Lake City to the Suwan-
nee River.
The, statewide turkey season, con-
tinning from Novemiber 24 until
February 1, will be restricted to
gobblers in Districts 1, 2 and 4.
Hen;s and gobblers can be killed in
Districts 3 and 5. However, turkey

ber 24 to February 20 with hunting

Machinery Is

Being Set Up for

National Draft


Estimated Draftees Have 1 Chance
In 38 of Being Called In
First Year of Operation

With President Truman's signing
of the new peacetime draft law, all
young men in Gulf county between
tihe ages of 19 and 25, with a few
exceptions, are now eligible for a
21-month hitch in army, navy, air
I'orce or marines.
It is estimated that about 225,000
men will be drafted during the. first
1I. months of the law's operation,
which begins about Septemuber 22,
and some genius interested in fig-
ures, has discovered that with the
number eligible for the draft that
airy one man's chance of being se-
lected. is 1 in 38. Most of the first
year draftees are expected to go
into the army, since the navy, air
force aI"d marines expect to get ail
the men.-'they need through volun-
tary enlistments.
President Truman is expected' to
defer carried nmen, fathers and me r
with essential jobs in industry, ag-
riculture or government in the first
call-ups, since the new, law gives
him this authority.
Virtually all males aged S1 thru
265 must register, with the exception
of members of the. armed services
and diplomats and. their families.
Principal exemptions are of most
veterans, ministers, members of or-
ganized, drilling reserves, conscien-
tious objectors and most public of-
ficials.
Veterans who served 18 months
bctlween September 1- 1940, and
June 24, 1948, are exempt. All tnose
who, served 30 days or more during
the "shooting war" (Decemnber 7,
1941, to September 2, 1945) also are

Play Safe On 4tk
Says Patrolman.

With the long week-end af-
forded by the July 4 holiday,
Olin Davis, local state highway
patrolman, says it is a good
time for the public to be think-
ing alcng safety lines.
There were more fatalities
in Florida during the same
holiday last year than iri any
other state in the Union, Da-
vis pointed out.
The majority of the violent
deaths over the July 4, 1947, .
week-end were caused from
highway accidents, but some
were attributed to drawing ancr
other mishaps.
With a safety conscious pub-
lic this year, the officer be-
lieves that many lives could"
be saved and a better record
than last year chalked up.

State Provides

Fund for Work

On St. Joe Park


Budget Commission, Allocates $5000
At Request of Park Service and
Urging By Rep. Tapper

During the last session of the
legislature abill introduced ,by Rep-
resentative George Tapper provid-
ing for $5000 annually for the up-
-keep of Monument Park in this city
was passe-d, but in the final go-round
when fund-raising measures were
under discussion, no provision was
made to guarantee this sum. Conse-
quently it was, taken for granted
that the matter was a dead duck.
However, George. didn't giye u-i
so easily, and several weeks ago 1he
persuaded me-mbers, of the ktate
park commission to come here and
look over the park, really one. of the
most historic spots in Florida, for
hore was co'nceivedl the state's first
organic law.
The visit to the site and George-'
persuasive tongue brought results,
for Wednesday, the last day ol- tna
fiscal year, word was received that
the budget commission, which is
headed by Governor Caldwell, had
released: $5000 for work on the park.
The money will be used to repair
the monument/ -which has been
chipped up considerable by tourists
and by vandals, shooting at it with
rifles, to erect a new fence, and to
make general improvements.
"I hope this is the first step in
really making this historic site a
place of beauty.' said -Representa-
tive Tapper. "and 1 feel certain that
in future the matter of upkeep of
our park will -be an assured thing."

tion of Sundays, when there will be

FUTURE OF PROTESTANTISM"
Rev. S. J. Allen, pastor of the lo-
cal Pre;byterian Church, next Sun-

the decline of Prokestantism and its
near collapse as a vital factor in the
world and the result of that collapse.
Is there, a way to pre,-mrve the'her-
itage of Protestantism and its
blessed .fruit? k
"This is a sermon on 'Freedom',"
said Rev. Allen, "and everyone is
extended an invitation to attend."

Our Country T '5" Right or Wrong

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY
We'd almost forgotten that the Fourth of
July was just around the corner until we set
Glenn Boyles advertisement, ini which he edi-
torialized to some extent on the Glorious
Fourth instead of filling up his space with the
usual assortment of itcm.n and prices.
To us the Fourth of July is absolutely lniqltue
among the millions of birthdays occurring each'
year here and there on the earth's surface, not
forgetting our own on February 4.
Unlike the proverbial actress, the U. S. is
proud to give its right age. The 172 years of
existence it can boast' have all been passed as
a democracy, under one type of government
and one constitution. Only the government of
England can boast a longer existence. France,
Germany, Russia, Japan and the rest have
changed their political structures so often that.
they seem like youngsters compared to us.
But the United States has enjoyed the lib-
erty and justice that come only under democ-
racy for almost a century and three-quarters
now. Every additional birthday becomes a
cause for gl;eater rejoicing, for it helps to
prove that freedom is the only enduring ideal
in a changing world.. ... .
It is hard to realize that America has had so
*many birthdays. Democracy does not show Its
age. Today, when reactionary systems of all
kinds are running wild over half the globe, this
country of ours seems by contrast younger
than ever, for it has the vitality and the


strength that goes with youth.
A-i tlhe F'ourth of July--the most important
-lirthdav in the world-should be our reminder
that democracy is the only way of life that en-
sure? happy birthdays for all of us who live and
enjoy u'r freedom under it.
And while we're on this matter of Indepen-
dence Day, \we might point out that a lot of
people probably won't even give a thought to
the occasion they are celebrating next Sunday.
To those it will be just another holiday. So, as
we approach this holiday, it might "be well for
all of us to remind ourselves that Independence
Day is indeed a day to be commemorated; that
independence is well worth fighting and dying
for, but that self-annihilation and injury thru
carelessness is not the prescribed method for
celebrating the Fourth.
Dying for American independence was the
tragic role pla) ed by our forefathers. They died
that their descendants might have freedom
from oppressive government, but they had no
desire that their descendants should continue
the role simply as a part of the celebration.
This Fourth of July will be safer and saner
if everybody will slow down a bit and give
pause for 'a little thinking about what indepen-
de.nce Day really means.

The 80th congress, which has passed into
the limbo of history, unless it is called into
special session before tile end of the year, was
called upon to deal with four major issues-
the labor problem, individual taxation, aid to
.urope, and our military defenses.. It dealt
positively with them all, through the Taft-
hlartley act, income tax reduction, ERP, and
the $13,000,000,000 preparedness program and
national draft. Most of the other issues were
deferred, and will again go into the hopper
when the Slst congress convenes. Congress
also refused to act on a long list of presiden-
tial appointments for the reason that the Re-
publicans expect to control the government
next year, and they want their own people n
the top jobs. ......

The only thing that makes a fellow work
these hot summer days when he doesn't want
to is the knowledge that he has to.

to buy if you don't let them know what you've
