Saints Fail To Get In Gulf League Playoff Games . Drop Two Straight To Pan- ama City; Hold League- Leading Bucs To Tie The St. Joe Saints were elimi- * nated from the Shaughnessy play- t off of the Gulf Coast League Wed- nesday afternoon at the local ball park when the Panama City Sea- hawks took them 5-1 for the second * straight game in the best two-out- of-three series. The Saints lost the first game Sunday at Panama City 3-2 in a 10-inning tilt. Around the rest of the loop the Blountstown Buccaneers defeated the Apalachicola Oystermen 5 to 4 Sunday and repeated Wednesday with a 15-7 count, thus entering the five-game playoff series for the pen- nant against the Seahawks. In a make-up game with the Buc- caneers played here last Friday, the Saints held the league-leading Blountstowners to an 8-8 tie in a 10-inning fracas lasting two hours and a half which was finally called on account of darkness. The visitors started off great guns, scoring four runs in the first inning and one in the second and holding the Saints scoreless until the fourth, when the local lads made it 5-3 and in the fifth tied up the count at 5-5. The Bucs buckled 'down in the sixth canto and scored tbr.ee more, holding the lead until the last of the ninth, when St. Joe rose up in wrath and made it 8-all to start a new game. Blountstown batters went down one-two-three in the first of the tenth and St. Joe had an excellent chance to take the honors when, with one away, Hannon and Adams were walked. But the opportunity faded when Burke singled, Adams was out at second and Herring hit directly to the pitcher. ----- -X--- Leaves for School Luther Parrott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parrott of Beacon Hill, left last Friday to enter school at Spartanburg junior college in Spartanburg, S. C. _--+-4---_ Attend Family Reunion MWif. and Mrs. J. F. Davis returned Monday from Blakely, Ga., where they attended a family reunion over the week-end. '11 Mill; Ii ll 1111111111lilmllllml1[lil llulll1110l r County Board Shown Error of Its Way I- A delegation of determined wo- men representing Home Demon- stration clubs of the county, ap- peared before the county com- missioners Tuesday to protest against the discontinuance of a clerk in the 'home demonstration agent's office in the interests of "economy." Showing what a small band of fast-talking and determined wo- men can do to mere men, the board, after hearing the delega- tion, made provision to furnish a clerk as demanded. Spokesmen for the delegation were Mrs. Jeseph T. Land of We- wahitchka, Mrs. Alton Hardy of Overstreet and Mrs. E. L. Antley of White City. Our private opinion is that the county home demonstration of- fice will have the assistance of a clerk for many years to come. |lflll~l~ll~l !!!l!! llll!ll!l!!llllll!lll!!!!!llll CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS WOULD HAVE ST. JOSEPH PENINSULA CONVERTED INTO STATE PARK Message Bottle Found On Beach Here After Long Trip In Gulf Stream In the weekly Hydrographic Bul- letin of August 6, issued by the hy- drographic office of the U. S. Navy, a report is made of a bottle found July 1 on St. Joseph Peninsula by Fred Maddox. According to the report, the bottle had been tossed overboard by D. L. Campbell, an officer aboard the British steamship Empire Regent, on July 8, 1946, about 20 miles off Jupiter Inlet on the east coast of Florida. These message bottles are thrown into the sea in order to study the ocean currents, and according to the bulletin, the bottle found here had apparently made a trip of ap- proximately 7800 miles. Following the Gulf Stream, this would carry it north to Newfound- land, across the Atlantic, down the coast of Europe to the Azores, back across the Atlantic, through the Caribbean Sea and up the Gulf of Mexico to the point where it was found by Mr. Maddox. -----_------ Parents of Pre-School Tots Urged To Attend Teacher Workshop Meet Patients of pre-school age chil- dren are urged to attend a session of the Gulf county teacher work- shop in progress at the local high school next Tuesday at 9:30 a. m. At this meeting., Miss Hollis Bethel, an educational consultant from the Row, Peterson Book Com- pany, will be on hand to discuss the school readiness program for the pre-school child. According to Miss Edna Parker, director of the workshop, this talk will be on general problems which are of concern to parents in regard to the proper type kindergarten program for children. Parents from all Gulf county are invited to be present at this meet- 'ing, which will be held in the high school auditorium. School Board Awards Bus Upkeep Contracts At the regular meeting of the Used During War As Target Range, Is Now Declared Surplus By Army A movement has been started by civic groups here to explore the possibility of having St. Joseph Peninsula converted into a state park. It is pointed out that the penin- sula, approximately twelve miles long and varying in width from a quarter mile to one mile, with high sand dunes in the center and an exceptionally fine beach some five miles in length, could be made into a different type park than any now in the state. A considerable portion of the spit is heavily wooded which areas could be made into attractive camp sites for various groups. Both bay and gulf type fishing is avail- able, and this feature would be a tourist attraction for this area. The peninsula was used during the war by Tyndall Field personnel as a bombing and machine gun range, and timber on the site is im- bedded with machine gun bullets, making it absolutely worthless for sawmill purposes. Since the peninsula has now been declared surplus by the war depart- ment through the U. S. Army En- gineers office in Mobile, Represen- tative Geoorge Tapper has urged the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club and Rotary Club to unite in a concerted movement to see if plans cannot be made whereby the Florida Park Service and the federal government would be able to make necessary arrangements to have the penin- sula made into a state park.

Our Country 9r Right or Wrong ECONOMICS IN EIGHT WORDS (Ed Note: The following editorial is based on a story by the late Jack Falstaff which appeared 11 years 'ago in the Cleveland Press. We think the story sizes up the situation concisely.) Once upon a time a great and wise king ruled, a populous and prosperous land. But a plague of poverty came upon the land, and no man knew its cause. There were mighty and inconclusive ;arguments in the halls of government, and many learned graybeards in the schools advocated this remedy or that. The king, seeing that his people were starving and distressed in the midst of plenty, called his wisest counselors from the four quarters of the kingdom. Seated on his golden throne and arrayed in his royal robes,, he commanded them to lend him {their wisdom. Then began an argument that lasted all through the night, until the king's head ,dropped wearily with the weight of the sap- phires and diamonds in his golden crown: As ,dawn was breaking, he arose and said: -'Here is only confusion of tongues. I have 'heard many of you speak of a science called eco- nomics, which may prove the key to my people's troubles. Mark well my words: One month hence let all the economists of my kingdom assemble here, bringing with them a short and simple text ,on this subject of economics, so that I may find light and my people may be saved." A month passed. The economists assembled, .and their number was two thousand and ten. "Where is my short text on economics?" asked -the king. "0, sire," replied the chief economist, "we have it not. To prepare such a text will require at least a year." "That," said the king, "is a long time, and my people languish. But, go now, and get to work without delay." A twelve-month later the economists took their places in the great audience hall, around the crystal walls of which stood the palace guards, armed with spears and crossbows. Then stood forth the graybearded chief economist. "Oh, King," he said, "we have labored with all diligence and have prepared the short text on economics for which you asked. We have it here in 87 volumes of 600 pages each, profusely illu- strated with charts and graphs." The king, exceedingly wroth, raised his scep- ter and let it fall with a crash, so that the great sapphire in its tip bit deeply into the table top before him. And the guards, raising their cross- bows, shot one thousand and five of the econo- mists. "Now," thundered the king, "get you gone, and return not until you have written me a really brief text on economics." And the remaining economists fled down the long hall, and the iron doors of the palace clanged behind them. Year after year they returned to the palace, bringing each time a slightly more condensed version of the text on economics. But never was the king satisfied, and each time the palace guards shot more economists until at last only one remained alive. He was a man of profound wisdom, but aged and feeble, so that never had he been able to make his voice heard above the disputations of his colleagues. This last economist plodded slowly to the pal- ace and sought audience with the king, himself now a graybeard, sad and bent with pondering the troubles of his people. Trembling, the last economist approached the throne, prostrated himself before the king, and spoke: "Sire, in eight words I will reveal to you all the wisdom that I have distilled through all these years from all the writings of all the economists who once practiced their science in your king- dom. Here is my text: "There ain't no such thing as free lunch." Why is there such an affinity between a negro and a chicken? Because one descended from Ham and the other from eggs. Read the ads and reap.

Both states have maintained a general system of birth registra- tion only in comparatively recent years. "No one who is eligible for bene- fits should delay applying for them or feel embarrassed because he has no birth certificate.

Many people find it helpful to carry their birth registration card on their person to use as identifi- cation, for, securing positions, prov- ing age, citizenship, etc. The new birth record card is more convenient than the regular birth certificate. It has less infor- mation on it than the regular cer- tificate, but it will be adequate in the majority of cases in which a copy of the complete birth record is not required. Essential informa- tion such as name, sex, race, birth date and birthplace, is shown. A legislative act made birth cer- tificates confidential records. This was done to protect the individual from unnecessary disclosure of such facts as illegitimacy, unknown parentage, adoption, and other data which might cause embarrassment. Now certified jphotostatic copies of birth certificates will be issued only to the individual of legal age, his or her parent, guardian or other legal representative, health and social agencies, upon approval of the state registrar, or upon court order. Floridians are also reminded that a legislative act increased the cost of birth, death, marriage and di- vorce record copies from '50c to $1. This was necessary due to the in- creased cost of providing applicants with such copies. The old fee of 50c had been in effect since 1917.

Reiterating his stand this week, Representative Tapper made the following statement: "In' my opinion, Governor Warren did a very wise thing in allowing several months to go by between the regular session of the legisla- ture and the special session which begins September 7. "During that time, both the mem- bers of the legislature and the gen- eral public have had a chance to study the. state's needs. We have been able to see clearly, for ex- ample, that general government represents only 3.5 per cent of the appropriations bill. "While all of us favor economy in government, it has become plain that even if all the functions of gen- eral 'government were abolished, the savings would not be sufficient to prevent a large deficit in the treasury during the next two years. "I have' said in the past, and I will say again, that I intend to in- troduce a limited sales tax as soon as the special session convenes. Such a tax would have broad ex- emptions so that the little man who spends most of his income for the necessities of life will be affected very little by it. "At the same time, without work- ing any undue hardship upon any-' one, it will provide money to fi- nance our schools .decently and to give better care for a group that 4has been neglected too long-the -mentally ill who are confined in our state institutions."
