Our Country Right or Wrong JUDGE LEWIS' COURT Reprinted from Holmes County Advertiser Holmes county citizens this week have had their first oppotrunity of seeing their new circuit court judge, E. Clay Lewis, in action, and from what they saw and heard, they were genuinely pleased, for Judge Lewis performed like a vet- eran jurist of many years', experience instead of the few brief months he has occupied the bench of the fourteenth judicial circuit. One of the first announcements he made from the bench was that his court would be opened daily with prayer by one of the local ministers, thus restoring a custom which was in vogue many years ago in practically all the higher courts of the state. This simple act stamped Judge Lewis as a man of high Christian character who be- lieves that the courts should be conducted with profound dignity and sincerity and in keeping with Christian principles. Such procedure will undoubtedly do much to restore the confidence of thle public in our judicial system. In his suave bearing and demeanor, yet sympa- thetic manner, Judge Lewis gave every evidence ,of possessing every qualificatidonfor thigh and responsible office he holds, and Holmes coun- tians are greatly pleased that they had a humble part in elevating him to the circuit court bench. It is our sincere belief that he has a very bright future ahead, and we wish him God speed. This year's observance of Fire Prevention Week ran from October 6 to 15. It will be tragic if the lessons learned during the week are im- mediately forgotten. Careless individual habits are responsible for all but a small minority of fires. Fire prevention must be practiced for 52 weeks of the year-not just for one. TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Amnounces for Commissioner Iarold C.

Reid Avenue Paving Underway Work of laying limerock founda- Uion to receive an oil and slag top SKEPTICISM THE SAFETY VALVE The human weakness. which clothes govern- ment with a degree of integrity and competence it seldom deserves, has strewn the path of his- tory with the wrecks of many nations to say nothing of brutal oppression and exploitation. The recent "five percenter" investigation was a mild but ominous warning. It revealed reprehen- sible practices in the highest levels of govern- ment. Bribery and evasion of law were appar- ently clearly shown-and condoned. Yet there is little the public can do about it. Demanding that the administrators of government investi- gate, convict and hang themselves to the nearest tree is not very practical. That is why the warn- ing implicit in the incident cannot be disre- garded. It shows what can happen when government gets beyond the control of the people. It shows the deadly potentialities of three-man "authori- ties" which exercise complete economic control over vast regions and whose members are ac- countable to no one except the president who appoints them. It shows the danger of putting the government into business as a tax-exempt, unregulated mon- opoly. It shows the deadly irony of the "welfare state" in which the opportunities for uncontrolled abuse and official corruption are endless. This one single incident of the "five percent- ers" lays bare the whole reason for looking with a skeptical eye at the idealistic plans of the theorists whose fundamental tenet in the ap- proach to any problem is that "the government can do it best." THE LIVESTOCK LOOKED GOOD TO US Gulf county's first annual fair ended last -Sat- urday night, and to most of us it was an eye- opener as to the potentialities lying dormant in our county, particularly in the livestock line. While the livestock display was not as large as it should have been, due to the fact that plans for the fair were developed almost at the last minute, it was sufficiently large to" give an in- sight into the type of stock that is being raised. Up to a few years back, most of the cattle being raised in the county were scraggly and scrawny, with the blood of half a dozen strains coursing through their veins, and outside of a few porkers the swine population of the county was of the Tennessee razorback variety, which roamed the woods for their feed. But today, if the exhibits we just viewed, are any criterion, the possibili- ties for raising livestock in Gulf county are un- limited. Keep smiling-and buy U. S.

The game rocked back an'd forth with no scores in the first quarter, but after the Sharks had taken the measure of their opponents they started going to town, putting over counters twice in the second quar- ter, one in the third, and two more in the final quarter. The Sharks made 13 first downs to 3 for Bay, and completed 5 out of 11 passes, while the visitors hit two out of four attempted. Gene Chism, left end, accounted for two touchdowns, while Frank Young. fullback, Philip Chatham, quarterback, and Raymond Law- rence, halfback, chalked up one each.
