ect of Parent-Teachers
Association ....

The opening gun of a concerted
drive to better. health conditions in
Gulf county was fired last night at
the monthly meeting of the Port
St. Joe Parent-Teachers Associa-
held in the,school auditorium.
The topic, "The Need for Im-
provement of Health Conditions In
Gulf County," was thoroughly dis-
cussed by Dr. Terry Byrd, county
health physician; F. E. Trammell,
county health officer; B. B. Scis-
son, county school supervisor, and
Mrs. Ruby Gilbert, county nurse.
Following talks by these four, an
open discussion was held and plans
worked out for the program, which
has been voted the number one
project for the year by the P.-T. A.
One of the main parts of the pro-
gram will be meetings held in Oak
Grove, Indian Pass, Highland View,
White City and Overstreet. at which
health authorities will speak to par-
ents, the Walt Disney film on hook-
worm will be shown, and discus-
sions held relative to the treatment
afforded the parents and children
of the county. These meetings are
scheduled to be held November 4
to 10.

not equipped with the necessary
lighting equipment required by law

structed to check all trucks in the
county to see that each carries the
necessary clearance lights and red
flares for use at night when the ve-
hicle is stopped on the highway.

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.

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. Savings Bonds.

Local Gridders Take Favored
iting Team By Score of
32 To 0

With odds being offered that they
wouldn't make two touchdowns
against their invading opponents,
the St. Joe Sharks Thursday night
of last week turned back the Pan-
ama City junior varsity team 32-0,,
scoring in all but one quarter.
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.
The Sharks do not have a game
scheduled for today, but next Fri-
day they meet Carrabelle here un-
der the lights at Centennial Field.

Sudden Death of Calves
On many dairy farms, there are
occasional sudden losses of calves
6 to 12 weeks old which show no
apparent signs of illness before
death. Autopsies on a large num-
ber of such cases have disclosed
severe inflammation of the intesti-
nal tract and degeneration of the
heart muscle as the probable causes
of death.

ception of those after a death, must
be paid for at time of insertion. A

30 words or less; 1%c per word for

school trekked to Tallahassee Tues-
day to make a tour of educational
