Our Country Right or Wrong

COMMENCEMENT
Next Monday twenty-one high school students
will be graduated from the local institution of
secondary education in which they have passed
the last four years, and will go forth into the
world of higher education or business, their high
school days over and done with forever.
To many of them the last four years have been
a profitable period in which they made the most
of their opportunities for mental discipline and
intellectual advancement; to some the quadren-
nium was, it is to be feared, a period of neglected
opportunity in part. All of them, if they do not
realize it now, will come to know that the last
four years was, or was not (depending upon their
attitude toward their studies) an extremely im-
portant period in their development.
When one is graduated from high school, one
has definitely left the schooldays of childhood,
and has progressed to the point where everything
one does counts vitally in one's life work. Higher
education, it will be found, costs real money, and
if one has been poorly prepared to receive the
knowledge placed before him in college, it is re-
vealed tellingly. On- the other hand, those ,k ho
applied themselves in high school to the best .of
their ability will have little to fear ;when college
life is' entered, and their path will be corre-
spondingly easy.

DuPonts Take Over Meade Stock
After several months' considera-

sidiary of the estate of the late Al-
fred I. duPont, an agreement was
reached this week whereby Gulf
Coast Properties acquires a 100 per


The parents of those students who sit on the
stage in the high school auditorium during the
graduation exercises Monday night will feel
mingled sentiments of pleasure, pride and sor-
row, Pleasure because their sons and daughters
have gone through high school and have avoided
the thousand illnesses and accidents of childhood
and have been found fitted to receive their di-
plomas; pride because it is no little thing to guide
a child in the way he should for eighteen years
so that he may reach this important milestone in
his path of progress through life; sorrow that
their little child has approached manhood or
womanhood and must be reckoned as a distinct
human entity with thoughts, feelings and am-
bitions individual to him or her only, and a tinc-
ture of regret that Father Time relentlessly un-
folds the years and their young one must leave
the parental nest for a career and experiences of
his own, apart from the watchful and protective
parental influence.
This is merely life, however, and the present
regret at the departure of the young people from
intimate family life probably will be tempered
by the hope and prayer that the graduate from
high school will so conduct himself or herself
that the future record will become a source of
pride and satisfaction to the parents who view
the commencement ceremonies Monday evening
with sometimes misty eyes.
Whatever their record is to be in the future,
the entire community congratulates their parents
and their educators upon their having reached
the point where they are honored in bidding
goodby to high school, and wishes them nothing
but success in whatever they undertake in the
future.

When Harry Truman took office five years ago
he humbly said he would succeed with the help
of God and the prayers of the people. Now he
says he has succeeded through his own efforts.

State Shellfish

Laboratory Set Up

In Apalachicola

Research Shows Possibilities
of Increasing Oyster
Yield In This Area

The permanent shellfish inspec-
tion and bacteriological laboratory
recently established in Apalachi-
cola is one of the first exclusively
state-owned shellfish units of its
kind in the United States and the
only one in Florida, according to
Dick Hardison, director of the new
installation of the state board of
health.
Hardison states that three men
are employed by the state board in
connection with the laboratory. One
heads the department, with head-
quarters in Jacksonville; one di-
rects activities in the state at large,
and the third directs activities in
Franklin and Gulf counties, where
90 per cent of the state's oysters
are gathered.
Pointing out possible consequen-
ces of carelessness or ignorance in
handling the quarter million dollar
shellfish industry in this section,
Hardison said it was, the desire of
his department to lend every effort
to educate oyster dealers and those
'handling them.
The laboratory will work with lo-
cal producers in installing proper
physical plant facilities so that this
famous seafood might be certified
at its source. He said many plants
in the area have already instigated
programs to correct faulty condi-
tions.
Stressing the need for co-opera-
tion between catcher, processor,
conservation authority and sanita-
tion director, Hardison emphasized
the fact that through consistent ef-
fort, the purity of Florida shellfish
in general, and the Apalachicola
oyster in particular, would be be-
yond question.
The unique laboratory in Apa-
lachicola was brought about thru
the inauguration of the first oyster
cultivation district, composed of
Gulf, Franklin and Wakulla coun-
ties. The new unit, through its ex-
per.imental and research work in
planting and cultivating oysters,
has already shown that the vast
possibility of oyster yield in shal-
low bays of the area have only been

Sports Fishing Is

Lottery, Says P.

0. Department

Newspapers Not Allowed to
Publish Results of
Contests

By RUSSELL KAY
It has been the practice for many
ears to encourage sports fishing in
Florida by offering prizes in fishing
contests ftr the largest fish caught
of various species.
Thousands of eager sportsmen
have entered these contests, and
many point with pride to the "big
one that didn't get away" and tell
of this or that prize they won for
their skill and achievement in con-
quering these denizens cf the deep.
For years sports columns have
carried pictures of these piscatorial
champions and described in detail
the battle that resulted in such a
mighty victory.
. Have you envied these guys and
secretly hoped -that some day you
might attain the skill to win such
an honor and be so acclaimed?
Have you cussed the "big one"
that got away, which might have
been the all-time prize winner?
Don't condemn yourself. Don't
feel sorry. Nothing you might have
done would have made any differ-
ence. It was all purely a matter of
luck. You were engaged in a lot-
tery, and skill had nothing what-
ever to do with it. You can laugh at
the guy who wins the prize for
catching the biggest fish. He de-
serves no credit for his feat. It
was just plain horse luck.
Try telling that to a guy who has
wrestled with a wily bass or a leap-
ing tarpon and see how far you get.
But, according to a ruling of the
postoffice department, catching any
kind of a fish is just luck. Anyone
entering a fishing contest is engag-
ing in -a lottery, for there is no skill
attached to landing a fish. The fish-
erman simply gets a strike, pulls in
his prize and has no control over
the size of his catch. .
Therefore, the postUl.ice depart-
ment rules that it is u-nlawfui and


against postal regulations for a
newspaper or other publication to
publicize such contests, give names
of winners or in any way encourage
such wickedness. Any paper that
does so risks the loss of its mailing
privilege.


You would think the postoffice classify sports fishing as a lottery.

Beds Provided Crippled
Children By Mrs. duPont
Dr. Arthur H. Weiland, director
of services of the Florida Crippled
Children's Commission, informed
Mrs. Alfred I. duPont of the great
need for furnishing and using a
part of the Tallahassee Memorial
Hospital for the treatment and con-
valescent care of crippled children


in that area. Dr. Weiland stated,
however, there were no funds avail-
able for the required beds, equip-
ment, etc.
Mrs. duPont last Friday forwarded
a check of the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany to the crippled children's com-
mission to cover the cost of the re-
quired beds and equipment. This
donation is in addition to the hos-
pitalization expense for crippled


children of Florida, which is now
being paid by Mrs. duPont and the
Nemours Foundation.

Broomcorn
Production of broomcorn. which

Don Linton Will Try Out
For F.S.U. Football Team
A pair of husky transfer students
have announced their intentions of
enrolling at Florida State Univer-
sity, Tallahassee, next fall and of
trying out for the football squad.
One is Don Linton of this city, a
185-pound backfield ace who earned
his freshman numeral at University


of Georgia last year. Linton was
also a member of the picked Army
Ground Forces team which played
in the Rice Bowl in Japan two years
ago. He was a four-letter man at
the Port St. Joe high school.
The other transfer is Pat O'Con-
nell of Chicago, who was awarded
a freshman numeral at Indiana
University last fall.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB


IT'S TIME TO .
Plant gardenias. When they
finish blooming, cut back one-third
to balance the root system; this
will prevent excessive leaf drop
next spring. Gardenias are especi-
ally susceptible to damage (sooty
black mold on upper surface of the
leaves or scale on under side) by
the white fly. If you plan to have
gardenias, then plan to spray the
bushes regularly with Volck, Emo-
Nik or Wonder Spray.
Set out dahlia tubers now and
you will have flowers during the
fall rather than during the hot sum-
mer months. Dahlias perish rapidly
in heat.

Methodist Men Hear
Talk By Judge Lewis

Declares World Would Be Greatly
Improved If People Would De-
pend pn Spiritual Guidance

At a meeting of the Methodist
Men's Fellowship held Thursday
night of last week in the Florida
Power Corporation office, some 50
members and guests heard a force-
ful talk on "The-.Power of Prayer"
by Judge E. Clay Lewis of Panama
City, a former St. Joe resident.
Lewis, who was introduced by
John Blount, program chairman, re-
viewed his personal experience and
showed that the power of prayer in
the lives of men today does play an
important part. He also expressed
the opinion that if people 'today
would depend more upon the Chris-
tian religion and upon spiritual
guidance, the overall world condi-
tion would be greatly improved.

Sportsmen's Association
Seeks Greater Aid From
State Game Commission

At the meeting of the Dead Lakes
Sportsmen's Association held Tues-
day night in Wewahitchka, C. L.
Morgan, president of the organiza-
tion, took a verbal poke at the state
game and fresh water fish commis-
sion "for all promises and no ac-
tion" in its pledge of. assistance to
'the association.
He demanded greater expenditure
of commission funds in the estab-
lishment of more conservation proj-
ects "in this district, which con-
tributes more to the support of the
commission in license fees than any


other district in Florida."
During the business session, Mor-
gan was re-elected- as president;
Earl Pridgeon was named as vice-
president; Harlan Pridgeon, secre-
tary, and Dr. D. H. Anderson and
Dave Gaskin, directors. All are from
Wewahitchka. Among county offi-
cers named in the four-county set-
up, B. B. Conklin was named as
vice-president, and A. L. Ward and
George Tapper as members of the
board of directors from Gulf county.

SAINTS THROW SCARE

(Continued from page 1)
the count 3-0.
In the fourth three more counters
were chalked up by St. Joe by Her-
ring, Price and Mitchell, Price mak-
ing a specatcular steal from third,
much to the discomfiture of Sum-
mers. The 'Gators made their first
run in this inning as Gaskin and
Summers got singles, advanced on
a wild pitch by Dudley, and Creel
and McDaniel wel;e handed walks
to walk in Gaskin.
The Saints made one in the sixth
and one in the seventh, while the
'Gators made their final two in the
bottom of the sixth and failed to
score thereafter, although .they
threatened in the eighth when Lin-
ton and Millergren got on base.
Dudley was credited with ten
strikeouts, while Summers marked
up four.
The Saints go to Apalachicola on
Sunday and next Wednesday will
meet the Tallahassee Capitals here.
