Activity Program of 4th Grade Outlined Pointed Out That Children Need Guidance According To Abilities (The following outline of the ac- tivity program for the fourth grade of the St. Joe school has been pre- pared by Miss Inez Turk, Mrs. Ela Sutton and Miss Janet Whitaker in order to give parents an idea of what is actually planned for their children.) In our school organization we are providing for pupil participation and responsibility in planning and directing school activities yet teacher guidance to give the chil- dren the security and direction they need. Children need guidance in terms of their abilities, interests and needs to be able to grow in self-direction. Through a feeling of security and a sense of accomplish- ment a child actually achieves free- dom. Children have possibilities for freedom, for the development of re- sponsibility for what they do in their daily living. If children learn to understand and appreciate our present social and scientific way of life, they St. Joe Sharks' Grid Season To Open Tonight Local Lads Meet Hard-Hitting Georgia Team Under Lights At Centennial Field The St. Joe Sharks open their 1948 grid season here tonight with the Bainbridge, Ga., high school team under the lights on Centen- nial Field.

Dear Mr. Smith-It was a real pleasure to read your lead editorial in the September 10 issue of The Star. You are so right in your conten- tion that the TVA is really social- ism. What many people do not re- alize is that the TVA is subsidized for the benefit of one area and we taxpayers who live all over the country are paying the bill. What's more from our company standpoint, industries 'that would be willing to locate in Florida, for instance, have,' to compete with companies located in TVA territory before they can purchase power which is subsidized from the government. A big hullabaloo about the steam plant is the most cockeyed of all, for you nd I remoniber that the socialist-minded fathers of the TVA sold the bill of goods under the guise of a "flood control" act, and now I ask you what does a steam plant have to do with flood con- trol? This is one of-the great sins of a bureaucracy and it keeps getting bigger and bigger with no logic to it at all. If Rich Porter and 'Swede Ben- son don't take good care of you, you can start raising the devil with me. Thanks again for your splendid editorial, and with all good wishes, I am, Sincerely, PAT FLANAGAN. Florida Power Corp. St. Petersburg, Fla.

Our Country Right or Wrong LEGISLATORS TOOK RIGHT COURSE Just prior to the special session of the legis- lature called to pass some sort of a measure to .straighten" out the November balloting for presi-, dential electors, Representative George Tapper discussed the matter! with the editor of The Star, stating that he was unequivocally against put- ting the names of Wallace electors on the ballot. We told him then that, while we had no sym- pathy or respect for either Wallace or his party and :considered his activities a threat to the wel- fare of the nation in that they are designed to ,cause strife and dissention, we felt that if the mames of Thurmond electors appeared on the ballot without the necessity of securing signa- tures to a petition, then the names of Wallace electors should also be placed on the ballot. We further told George that he would find the ma- "jority of the members of the legislature holding :a like view-which apparently was the case. Our nation is a democracy, and Florida is a part of that democracy. If the States' Rights party is-to be recognized on our ballot, then we :are equally obligated to accord the Wallace gang -the same consideration, regardless of how little, respect we may have for them. Besides it may -give us a pretty good insight as to just how many .communistically-inclined voters we have in our anidst. - We don't know what the outcome of this new balloting system will be, but in conversing with -voters of Port St. Joe we find that a considerable =number say they are opposed to Truman and ;are either going to stay away from the polls and -not vote at all, vote for Thurmond with a feel- :ing that they will be throwing their vote away -for a principle, or they will bolt the party and wote Republican. SERVING COMMUNISM As was to be expected, the investigations of ,communist influences and personalities in the 'government have been confused by affirmations rand :denials, charges and counter-charges. The )whdle story may never be learned. But no one can doubt that these influences have existed- and that they have been tolerated in very high places. The real, card-bearing communists, and the -more timid fellow travelers who follow the party 'line but can't quite bring themselves to signing on the dotted line, can be ferreted out. The FBI :and other agencies have been quietly carrying on an effective work to that end. Yet there is .another phase to the problem which hasn't made -the headlines, but in the long run may be the :most serious. That phase is the widespread pub- The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Starr Havin' no striped britches or be- in' a part of the Govt. and in a siot -where I kin emagine or 'let on as iffen I'm a worldwide skolar-she looks to me as iffen, day by day, our old pal Uncle Sambo is begin' made to look more and more like a sucker. Them slickers across the lie indifference to policies and activities which undermine the whole concept of representative government. If communism, or any other kind of total gov:- ernment, is to gain the driver's seat in this coun- try, two things must happen. First, the basic in- dustries of the nation must be socialized-which is just another way of saying that the instruments of production must,be controlled by those who hold political jobs. Those who say that cannot happen here are blind to the lessons of history. Second, total government requires an ever- increasing dependence of the public on govern- ment for services and benefits that it once earned for itself. The present name for this is social security. Government is called upon to protect us against unemployment, the economic problems of old age, and so on. Little by little government becomes the dominating factor in our lives. It daily grows bigger, more dictatorial. So, in time, the stage is ready for the *Hictator- the Hitler who comes to power by constitutional means, and then destroys all constitutional rights. The kind and well-meaning people who con- tribute in these ways to the breakdown of prin- ciple are serving communism well. Freedom can never be a half-way proposition. We will keep it intact or we will lose it. THAT MEAT BOYCOTT We read in the papers where housewives in various parts of the country have organized to boycott meat, the general idea seeming to be that they will refuse to buy meat until the butcher comes 'way down on his prices. The editor of The Star is no more in favor of high meat prices than the rest of you, but it looks to us that a boycott won't do much good, for the simple reason that meat is, for the most part, converted corn. Therefore, if corn is dear, meat must be expensive. Why is corn high priced? That's simple. The government has. pumped billions of dollars into price support for all major crops, from wheat through corn to potatoes. Meat prices can't drop until grain prices come. down. Even if all the housewives of the nation banded together and stopped buying meat it wouldn't do any good. The butchers would sell at a loss what they had on hand and wouldn't restock. The meat pro- ducers, with high priced government-supported corn, wouldn't raise stock. Meat would then dis- appear from the market-and naturally a black market with prices hiked to all the traffic would bear would then come into being. What we're driving at is that the housewives are looking at the meat price problem through the wrong end of the telescope-they are confus- ing cause with effect. Today's inflated prices on meat is largely caused by the government. Best thing to do would be to take it up with mem- bers of congress and attempt to have the price support removed from crops. Political Note: Some GOP leaders are more concerned with contests for the senate than with the presidential race. The reason is that the Dem- ocrats need to gain only four seats to control the senate, and they have some excellent candidates in the running in states where the vote may be extremely close. "In union there is strength." If all members of the local unions do their buying at the union grocery and market which is soon to be estab- lished, we can see no reason why the venture shouldn't succeed in a big way. pond are too much for the gang we've had in there at bat.

Tokyo was deso- late at the end of the war and most of the people were hiding out in the hills when the troops moved in. And even today a few are still drifting in. In some places where the buildings were bombed out new ones are already standing, but in some others there is nothing but a pile of broken cement and twisted metal. The land will never be the same but the people who are to learn our way of living are beginning to see the light. Most of them have found what a little' freedom can do, and for the most part I would say that the Japanese like the GIs. All of them are crazy about the American girls-they think they are beauti- though, is that only the wife is al- ful. Of course they don't care as much for the soldiers as the civil- ians, because they know that the GIs are the ones that laid so much destruction on them in the war. But things are smoothing out fast. These people have taken up the Western style of dress, but last New Years was their Christmas, and most of them wore kimonas. These are brightly colored and really beautiful. They wear some kind of thing folded .up and' tied around their waist by a wide band, and what it is for 1 haven't been able to find out yet. When one of the family dies, the ceremony is small and simple, with only members of the family pres- lowed to cry, and she is the only one that'does. But the rest of the family really carries on. They kneel, bow and pray. The whole thing only lasts about 30 minutes. A superstition they have is that when someone dies he has to cross a river to get into heaven. It's not heaven to them, but we will call it that. So about 50 sen is buried with them to pay their fare on the boat that transports them across the river.

All rulings and quotations ait, based on publica- tions of the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations. There will be a number of rule changes in effect in high school football this season. Among some of the most important of these from the standpoint of spectators and coaches are: ("A" is team putting ball in play. "B" is team not putting ball in play. "K" is team kicking. "RU" is team receiving.) A backward pass or fumble is called a free ball and neither team is in possession. Handing the ball forward is not a forward pass but it is sometimes illegal. If a player kicks from beyond the scrimmage line. it is a return-kick, even though there has been no change of team possession. A foul during a back- ward pass or fumble results in loss of ball and first' down. Acts which were once called "en- croachment" are termed "snap in- terference." Ball does not remain dead for such acts unless referee blows his whistle. No player of "A" may make a false start. Player who is less than one yard behind his line must have his hands behind the snapper and in a reaching po- sition. Ball may not be handed for- ward to a player who is on the end of the line. During a try-for-point, ball may be snapped from anywhere on or behind "B's" two-yard line. If an attempted field goal touches "R" behind his goal line, ball does not become dead. If a foul occurs be- hind a goal line and during a back- ward pass or fumble, it is a safety or a touchback. Also pass interfer- I ence by "A" in "B's" end zone may be a touchback. Fouls which were termed "un- necessary roughness" are now "per- sonal fouls." Repeatedly commit- ting fouls which halve the distance to the goal line results in forfeiture (instead of award of a touchdown). Vacationing In Arkansas Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
