here last Friday night by defeat-
ing the St. Joe Sharks 33 to 6 un-
der the lights at Centennial Field.
The Sharks made their lone
touchdown in the final quarter on
a 40-yard end run by Bob Gibson.
The local grid team will go to
Blountstown tonight and next.Fri-
day will meet Graceville here.

The voters of Gulf county will go
to the polls next Tuesday for the
purpose of okehing or rejecting a
proposed 7-mill levy for the next
two years for operation of county
schools and to name three trustees
for two-year terms. Two years ago
voters of the county passed favor-
ably on a levy of 3 mills for opera-
tion of the schools. The increased
millage is deemed necessary due to
anticipated increase in school at-
tendance during the next two years.
It is customary to elect three
trustees at these elections, but as
there are but three names appear-
ing on the ballot this year, there
will be no competition. Those quali-
fying were Floyd Hunt of this city
and R. D. Lister of Wewahitchka,
present trustees, and Joe Dowd,
also of this city. Jake Belin, one of
the present trustees, is not seeking
re-election.
The county is divided into five
trustee districts, but only three

Officers Destroy

State Installation Capable of
Turning Out 150 Gallons
of Moonshine Weekly

Deputy Sheriff J. G. Hersey and
State Highway Patrolman G. E. Jor-
dan are making quite a name for
themselves in tracking down and
destroying moonshine stills in this
neck o' the woods. In fact, we un-
derstand that a number of distillers
of illicit liquor are threatening to
transfer their activities from Gulf
county across t he Apalachicola
River to Franklin and Liberty coun-
ties due to the activities of these
two gentlemen.
Officers Hersey and Jordan dis-
covered a 500-gallon still Saturday
morning in the swamp about a mile
northeast of White City which they
estimated was capable of turning
out 150 gallons of mooshine a week
for imbibers of that potent stuff.
They destroyed the still-and about

mash at the still.

KKK Hendrix Flaunting

State's New Election Law

Attorney General Charges Guberna-
torial Candidate Making
Farce of Code


'Fairyland Fantasy'


P.T.A. Presentation


At Annual Carnival


Bill Hedri of TallahasseK
Based On 'Snow Whit' 400


Klux Klan leader and a candidate
for governor, is making a "farce"
of Florida's new election code, ac-
cording to Dick Ervin, state attor-
ney general.
As an announced candidate for
governor, Hendrix is required un-
der a new election law passed by
the last legislature to file weekly
reports of the money he has spent
on his candidacy and the contribu-
tions he has received.
Hendrix .has refused to name a
bank through which his campaign
funds will flow, as required by the
law, on the ground it would violate
his religious tenets to do business
through a bank.
His second "report," filed with
Secretary of State Bob Gray, listed
his expenditures for the period Oc-
tober 22-27 at $6.50. He said $5 was
spent for an advertisement in a
Jacksonville weekly for a campaign
treasurer "who is not afraid of be-
ing smeared by the Jews, who has
at least 10 years experience at com-
plicated election laws." He listed $1
as spent to pay for having a radio,
commentator "re-gassed" and "sent
50c to Chattahoochee for one brain"
for a Tallahassee political writer.
He reported contributions of $4.60
from persons he listed as Tutsie
Doe, Umpty D e,' Jess Steinberg,
Joe Fish'bein, Stinky Lipschitz and
Baby Doe.
Hendrix concluded his report with
"Slow week, ain't it." He also sub-
mitted a report showing total cam-
paign expenses of $1,685.86 and to-
tal contributions of $1,785.89. The
contributors were listed as John
Henry Doe, Joe Doe, Samuel Doe,
Sara Doe and unknown friends.

Costumed Children To
Participate .. ':

By MRS. RALPH SWATTS
Now is the time for all good men
-and women-and boys and girls
-to give their attention to the
plans of the Parent-Teacher Asso-
ciation of Port St. Joe for the an-
nual school carnival to be presented
tomorrow.
To those who about this time last
year watched P.-T. A. in the pro-
cess of ushering into the city a mul-
titude of witches, goblins, dragons,
black cats and numerous other in-
spirations of horror, this year's pre-
sentation of Fairyland should be a
welcome change. For months plans
have been in the making, and as
announced by the carnival chair-
man, Mrs. Jack Swain, in the Octo-
ber meeting, are really something
about which to write home.
The carnival will open on the
Centennial grounds at 4 p. m. to-
morrow. Fun booths will include a
hall of horrors, in charge of Mrs.
J. H. Geddie and. Mrs. B. C. Gail-
lard; two fish ponds in charge of
Mrs. B. E. Rawls and Mrs. T. E.
Parker; pony ride, Mrs. Paul Bass;
doll booth,, Mrs.' Duffy Lewis.; sur-
prise booth, Mrs. Tiny Jones; dart
boards, Mrs. Franklin Jones; milk
bottle alley, Mrs. Massey Ward;
pet show, Mrs. John Blount; shoot-
ing gallery, Mrs. Youa.1 Wages;
arts and crafts, Mrs. J. L. Fuller.
A costume parade for kindergar-
ten children and others wishing to
enter will begin at the Centennial
Auditorium at 4:30 p. m. and circle
the park. Some lucky little girl and-
boy will win prizes.
Food being the road to a man's
heart-or to a womans-or to a
boys' or girls'-P.-T. A. has made
ample provision that this road may
be well traveled. The cake sales
will be in charge of Mrs. Welton
Roche, Mrs. E. P. Lapeyrouse and
Mrs. Walter Richardson; pies, Mrs.
Sue Sapuding and Mrs. Carol War-
ner; Mrs. Paul Fensom and Mrs.
Carl Zimmerman, hot dogs; Mrs.
Thurland Poitevint, coffee;. Mrs.
Jim Bobbitt, drinks; Mrs..Audrey
Conner, ice cream; Mrs. Aubrey
Tomlinson and Mrs. Gerald McGill,
candy; Mrs. Flossie Wilson, pea-
nuts.

Tyndall Chaplain To
Conduct Study Week

Beginning Monday night at 7:30
and continuing each night through
Friday the First Baptist Church
will have a week of Sunday school
study of methods and enlargement.
"The church is fortunate in se-
curing the services of Chaplain Paul
L. Morgan of Tyndall Field to lead
in this work," said Rev. L. J. Keels,
pastor. "Chaplain Morgan is a very
forceful speaker. He has made a
special study of Sunday school
work, and is well qualified to, lead
in these studies."

Buys Old Methodist Church
Miles Hurlbut this week bought
the old Methodist Church at the
corner of Ldng Avehue and Seventh
Street and is having it torn down.
Couldn't get in touch with Miles,
but we understand he is going to
use the lumber for the construction
of a couple of small apartments.

FAIR NOTES

With the Second Annual Gulf
County Fair over, we still have a
few "Fair Notes" left.
Mary Harris, 14 and weighing in
at 140 pounds, dropped by at the
Legion Auxiliary hot dog stand and
remarked to her mother, Mrs. Kath-
ryn Harris: "It's getting emptier
and emptier," referring to her
change pocket, to which we re-
marked: "We thought you were re-
ferring to your tummy."
Mrs. Ed Ramsey ordered a bowl
of soup at the stand about that
time, and the only spoon available
was one about the size of a soup
ladle bet it would hold half a
cup .... "You can't get that in your
mouth," said we .... "Wanna bet?"
said Mrs. R .. And the bowl of
the spoon and half the handle went
into her mouth .... She should be
a feature attraction at the coming
P.-T. A. carnival as a sword-swal-
lower.
Doc King asked us if we had a
cigar for sale. Told him "No," but
that we'd give him our last one.
"A life-saver," quoth Doc.
"When I get to be president-of
the Kiwanis Club, that is-I'll re-
pay you threefold." All of you
readers are witnesses... Doc owes
us three Tampa Nuggetts when he
becomes "President."
We financed a ride for Miss Faye
Parker on "The Plane," a ride that
made us shudder just to watch it
percolate, and when she got off we
asked here how she liked it....
"Oh, it's supersquendacious," she
replied breathlessly.
Monty Gentry asked us if we had
any passes left, as he was waiting
for his girl friend, Wanda Kenning-
ton to show up and his finances
weren't any too good. We told him
we'd see that they had a ride on
the ferris wheel He followed us
around the grounds for about an
hour, and as we were seated under
the "Airplane.Swing" talking to the
operator and watching the cars
whiz by overhead, we heard a joy-
ous shout: "Editor Bill! Editor Bill!
She's here!" He could hardly
wait, but we didn't want to duck
under those swinging thingumabobs
and take a chance on getting
knocked into the middle of next
week, so he had to prance around
impatiently until the machine came
to a stop, then we were herded to
the ferris wheel.
Saw Gus Creech with two of his
daughters, Kay and Cecelia, on the
ferris wheel Every time it
swung over, the lights would re-
flect blindingly off Gus' bald pate.
. He should emulate Jack Benny
and get himself an assortment of
toupees.
Visitors From Massachusetts
Mrs. Hershe L. Anderson and two
sons, Wayne and Rickey, of Catu-,
met, Mass., are here visiting with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson
Davis. They expect to return to
their home in Massachusetts about
November 7 to join their husband
and father, Sgt. Hershe Anderson,
who is stationed at Camp Edwards,
.Mass. Mrs. Anderson, will be re-
membered as the former Miss Na-
dine Davis. /

Our Country Right or Wrong


JUST WHAT IS A 'FAIR'?
The editor of The Star is secretary of the Gulf
County Fair Association, the charter of which is
owned by Willis V. Rowan Post 116, American
Legion, he is also adjutant of the post and con-
siders himself a fair Legionnaire. We are explain-
ing all this because what we are about to say is
going to rile some folks-paricularly members of
the local Legion post-but somebody should say
something about' it, and We've sort of become
accustomed to sticking our neck out.
What we are referring to is the bringing in of
large carnivals as a part of the annual fair which
take from our community five or six thousand
dollars, perhaps more, during the week they play
here. This hurts our local merchants, our local
theater and other businesses, but it particularly
hurts the working man who goes out on the mid-
way and spends more than he should before he
realizes it.
We've belonged to Legion posts which spon-
sored fairs and a number of them brought in a
small outfit having about three rides and no
"gyp" joints or honky-tonk shows. They them-
selves operated a shooting gallery, wheels, knock-
down-the-milk-bottles, dolls, etc., and the greater
part of the money realized from the carnival
went to the Legion post, which in turn spent it
in their home town. We think it's a, good idea.
But we are opposed to some carnival company
dodging fair and just city, county and state li-


censes and amusement taxes (although the city
dads did this year insist that our city tax be col-
lected on all admissions) simply by billing them-
selves as a fair and getting some non-profit or-
ganization to loan its name in exchange for free
licenses and a percentage on the operation of the
show.
Why should our local theater, with its payroll,
costly operating expenses, a considerable amount
invested in our city and civic co-operation mani-
fested, through benefit shows, contributions to
local charities and team work with our civic or-
ganizations be penalized by competition in the
amusement field by carnivals which are granted
free licenses?
Let's just stop a moment and ask ourselves
"Just what is a fair?" Is it a carnival company plus
a small display of home-canned fruits and vege-
tables, fancywork, etc., or should it be a complete
display of all the resources of our county, some-
thing that we can view with pride and say: "All
of that and more makes up Gulf county."
True, the carnival that played here last week
was clean and did not carry the usual bunch of
gyp games manned by fast-talking artists who
would take a gullible customer for everything
but his shoelaces, but despite that it did take out
of our city thousands of dollars that should have
gone into the tills of our business people-the
people who pay taxes and assist in making Port
St. Joe the up-and-coming city it is.
We've had our say-you can take it from here.

"I'm going to give you the maximum punish-
ment," the judge announced to a crestfallen de-
fendant. "I'm not going to putyou in our nice
jail. I'm going to let you go free and worry about
taxes, shortages, unemployment, politics, war and
the high cost of living-just like the rest of us."
-Glencoe (Minn.) Enterprise.

"Pat, what's this I hear about ye joining' up with
the Communists? Be ye daft?" To which Pat re-
plied: "It's the truth, Mike. I signed up last week.
The doctor told me I had but ten days to live,
and 'tis better one o' them Communists die than
a good Irishman."-Myrtle Biech (S. C.) News.

IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE


Denver Miller made a conquest
on the midway of the fair last Fri-
day-a gal in a scanty green satin
gown. .. To you folks, and in
order to keep Denver out of the
doghouse, it was a cute little monk
(boy or girl-don't ask us) in the
Monkeyland show. .. She'd tear
around the tent, but always come
back to him. A relation, per-
haps, Denver?

We printed some handbills for
Glenn Boyles off his ad last week,
and there was an error on it, being
"Gingham Gowns $1.00." It was
Glenn's own copy, but we were in
a hurry and didn't call him to read
proof. He called us up and re-
gretfully said he couldn't use 'em.
S. We had intended not charging
him for them, but as we passed by
his store Friday, we noticed that
he had marked a 2 over the 1 and
was using the dodgers. We informed
him that we were going to charge
him half .price for the job.... You
should have heard his pitiful story.
Seems there was a wan, hungry-
looking young woman came into the
store begging for a pair of shoes
for her tattered little ragamuffin
son. She begged with tears in her
eyes for a pair of shoes ... And
big-hearted Glenn gave her the
shoes in return for marking 500
twos over the $1.00 on the dodgers.
. Peculiar thing, though. All of
the writing was the same as Glenn
does.

Mrs. Estelle Mosely was working
at the Legion Auxiliary hot dog
stand at the fair one morning last
week. Said she had to let her house
work go, but to keep her husband
placated (seems he doesn't believe
in women letting the housework
go) she yanked the sheets off the
bed '.and_'-told' him' she, was airing
them.

Earl Sellers, author of "Brainless
Babble" in the Chipley News, at
times is like us-too lazy, or just
can'. think of anything to write on.
S. So he reprinted an editorial of
ours we ran a couple of weeks
ago on taxes, "Stop, Look and Lis-
ten!", saying, in part: "We were
inclined to be slightly on the lazy
side this week-again-so have
called in help. The help comes in
the way of an editorial clipped
from our friend Bill Smith's paper
down at Port St. Joe-The Star.
We could have written a week and
not said more than has been said
in this truth-revealing editorial-
and, of course, everyone' knows it
is the truth that usually hurts (and
taxes are certainly getting to the
point where they really hurt).
"The article expresses right to
the letter our feeling. We, too, are
one of 'Uncle Harry's' bookkeepers
and it is cramping our style some-
thing awful--especially when we
don't get to go fishing any more than
we do for having to stay around
and put in overtime as a govern-
ment bookeeper without conipensa-
tion (here he quoted our edit).
"Smitty said there that Harry
Truman wasn't HIS friend. Truth
is, Bill, Harry isn't anybody's friend,
wouldn't you say? That is, unless
he's Harry Truman's friend. We did
what we could last election to do
something about it, but guess there
just wasn't enough of us good old
Dixiecrats to make any difference.
"Time's a-comin' agin next year
-maybe weuns Dixiecrats can try
again. However, in all probability
not enough will be done-for we
will all be too weak from the old
tax-bleed by that time to exert
enough effort to even be noticed."

Easier on The Back
Chairs, tables and other pieces
that are not too heavy may be
painted more easily if set upside
down on a piece of newspaper and
the legs coated first. The table or
chair is then set upright on the
paper and the work is completed.


DAN McCARTY, who Thursday
of last week tossed his fedora
in the ring for governor. Said he:
"My campaign is going to be
predicated upon the urgency of
clean, business-like state adminis-
tration, free from insidious power
politics and control."

WEWAHITCHKA MAN
IS TAKEN BY DEATH
James L. Griffin, 69, of Wewahit-
chka, died last Friday in a Jackson-
ville hospital. He conducted a gro-
cery store in the county seat city.
Funeral services were held Sun-
day afternoon at the Wewahitchka
Methodist Church, with Rev. S. F.
Lowery officiating. Interment was
in Jehu Cemetery, with the Com-
forter Funeral Home of this city in
charge of arrangements.
Survivors are one daughter, Mrs.
Verona Inez Hurt of Jacksonville;
one son, Johns C. Griffin, Columbus,
Ga.; four sisters, Mrs. Ethel Willis
and Mrs. Lois Raker of Sopchoppy,
Mrs. Borthula Lewis of Cairo, Ga.,
and Mrs. Edna Rich, Wewahitchka,
and four brothers, Leslie, John,
Napoleon and Ruel Griffin, all of
Wewahitchka.

Waves as high as 50 and 60 feet
have been observed in the South
Atlantic Ocean off the Cape of
Good Hope.


On June 15, 1950, an Emergency Board
appointed by the President under the
terms of the Railway Labor Act-an Act
largely fathered by the unions themselves
-made its recommendations on certain
wage and working conditions ("rules" in
railroad language) which had been in dis-
pute between employes and the railroads.
More Than 90% of Employes Accept
Since then, terms equal to or better than
the Board recommendations have been
accepted by about 1,200,000 railroad em-
ployes-more than 90% of the total of all
workers. They are represented by 20 of
the 23 standard railroad unions.
Less Than 10% Refuse
But three unions-with about 130,000
men, or less than 10% of the total-have
refused to accept, even after months of
negotiations. These three unions are the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway
Conductors. These are three of the so-
called "operating" unions. Already the
highest paid men in the industry, their
leaders demand still further advantages
over other workers.
In all, there are about 270,000 operating
employes. But not all of them, by any
means, are represented by BLE, BLF&E,
or ORC. As aSmatter of fact, less than
half-132,000 to be exact-are in these
three unions. More than half-about
140,000-are in other unions, principally
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
What makes the whole situation so hard
to understand is that these 140,000 op-
erating employes are working under wages
and rules which the leaders of the other
130,000 say they cannot agree to.
What Do the'Railroads Offer?
They offer these three unions the same
settlement which was contained in a Mem-
orandum of Agreement signed at the White
House on December 21, 1950, by four
brotherhoods and the railroads. Later
these brotherhoods sought to repudiate
this agreement. But on May 25, 1951, the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed
a. complete agreement carrying out the

The chamber of commerce, city

nearby community. This fourth
annual celebration is scheduled for
Tuesday, November. 13.
Once again, governmental lead-

90% For! 10% Against

Railroad workers are represented by 23 standard
unions. By mutual agreement, 20 of these unions-com-
prising about 1,200,000 men, or more than 90%-are
working under wages and rules agreed to by them and
the railroads. But leaders of three unions-with only
about 130,000 men, or less than 10%-still refuse, after
more than a year of negotiations, to accept similar
wage and' rules agreements. These are even more
favorable than the terms recommended by the Emer-
gency Board appointed by the President.

principles of the Memorandum Agreement
of December 21. They have been working
under this agreement since May 25.
What About Wages?
Under the terms of the agreement, yard
engineers, firemen and conductors would
now be receiving a wage increase of $.34
an hour ($2.72 a day) and road engineers,
firemen and conductors would now be re-
ceiving an increase of 19% cents an hour
($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive
pay have already accrued and if the agree-
ment is carried out, will be paid promptly.
What About "Cost of Living" Increases?
The VWhite House Agreement includes an
"escalator" clause under which wages will
be geared to changes in the Government's
cost-of-living index. Two such increases
-April and July, 1951 -havealready been
paid to the 90% of railroad employes cov-
ered by signed agreements.
What About the 40-Hour Week?
The White House Agreement calts for the
establishment of the 40-hour week in prin-
ciple, for employes in yard service. The
employes can have it any time after Jan-
uary 1, 1952, provided the manpower sit-
uation is such that the railroads can get
enough men to perform the work with
reasonable regularity at straight time
rates. If the parties do not agree on the
question of availability of manpower, the
White House Agreement provides arbitra-
tionby a refereeappointedbythePresident.
What Else Do the Union,
Leaders Demand?
The continued quibbling of the leaders of
the three unions has to do principally with


rules changes, which have already been
agreed to by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. Of these, the principal one
seems to be that having to do with so-
called "interdivisional service"-runs
which take in two or more seniority dis-
tricts.
The union leaders would bar progress
and efficiency in the industry, and better
service to the public, by maintaining a
situation where they can arbitrarily stop
a railroad from establishing such inter-
divisional runs. The carriers propose that
if a railroad wishes to set up an inter-
divisional run, the railroad and the unions
should try to agree on such run and the
conditions which should surround its es-
tablishment and if the railroad and the
unions can't agree, the matter will be sub-
mitted to arbitration.
But the three union leaders still refuse.
Rules Can Be Arbitrated
The railroads have not only offered these
three unions the same rules agreed to by
the BRT and covered by the White House
Agreement, but have even agreed to.sub-
mit such rules to arbitration.
The Industry Pattern Is Fixed
With the pattern so firmly established in
the railroad industry, it seems fair to sug-
gest that the leaders of BLE, BLF&E,
and ORC stop their quibbling and take
action to make the railroad labor picture
100% complete. Certainly today's eco-
nomic and international situation calls for
a united front. And certainly no good rea-
son has been advanced why these three
unions should be preferred over all other
railroad employes.


We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk to you
at first hand about matters which are important everybody.


Yes, it certainly seems to be finally about time that the leaders of the three unions stop their
delaying tactics-their quibbling. But the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors
continue to refuse. They continue a course of dillying and dallying. It is definitely time to

Politicians Seeking

To Run Their Show

Behind Iron Curtain

Taxpayers Should Drop In-
difference and Raise Up
On Their Hind Legs

By RUSSELL KAY
My father was a patient man. He
would admonish us kids for leaving
our roller skates on the front walk,
or marbles on the parlor rug where
someone was bound to stumble
over them, but he seldom lost his
temper.
It was only when we would lie or
try to hide our wrongdoing that he
would blow his top. On such oc-
casions, he would take stern meas-
ures. An attempt to hide or falsify
a report card was an offense he
would not tolerate.
The average citizen and taxpayer
is a lot like my father. Patient and
long-suffering they will stand for
a lot before becoming disturbed
enough to put their foot down. Just
as indulgent parents are inclined to
laugh off childish laxities on the
grounds that "boys will be boys",
the average citizen watches the
pranks of politicians and, while he
may not always approve, shrugs his
shoulders and says "politics is poli-
tics."
Because of the apathy and indif-
ference of most people today, a lot
of public officials, through sharp
practice or downright dishonesty,
have brought discredit upon them-
selves and their administration.
Honest mistakes and stupidity have
given way to deliberate crooked-
ness and cupidity.
When an inquisitive press or
grand jury uncovers the facts, they
bitterly resent such intrusion and
seek. ways and means of curbing
this interference. Following in the
steps of the dictator, they try to
hide their misconduct behind secret
sessions and closed doors.
'More and more, public officials
in all branches of government are
seeking to run their show behind
an iron curtain by excluding the
press from their meetings and giv-
ing out only such information they
choose to give.
They entirely lose sight of the
fact that they are public servants,
elected by the people or serving un-
der those who are. They contend
that their actions are their own
business and, without any hesita-
tion, withhold public information.
The recent action of President
Truman in authorizing any govern-
ment bureau or board to withhold
any information that in the judg-
ment of the.bureau chief might en-

1 A Better

Mousetrap

By John Bdlling
T WAS ABOUT to doze off into an
after dinner coma, when the ad
first caught my
I futee ieye. There was no
S nu fancy display
: Fiction about it. In fact,
ad u it was in the want
lad columns and I only noticed it
because it had been set in heavy
type. It went somehow like this:
HERE IT IS AT LAST! I
BEAT A PATH TO OUR
DOOR, FOLKS! 'KILLIT'
IS GUARANTEED TO KILL
RATS AN MICE. DOUBLE
YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU
FAIL TO KILL RODENTS
AFTER FOLLOWING THE
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS!
There followed a name and, ad-
dress, and a request to send one dol-
lar for a genuine 'Killit. The thing
was guaranteed. What could I lose?
I took the paper to the kitchen
and showed the ad to Mary. She in-
'sisted that we didn't have any mice
or rats, but I said maybe not, but
it would be nice to have a guaran-
teed mousetrap anyhow. I wadded
up a dollar bill and .stuck it in an
envelope and addressed it to the
Killit people and made a special
trip to the post office to mail it.


A. ,, '
.----~y


I showed the ad to Mary, but
she insisted that we didn't have
any mice or rats.
Later I got to thinking about
it. I hoped that Killit would not
be a cat-we already had one
Scat, and there just isn't room for
another one in our two. by four
apartment. But then, they
couldn't send you a cat by mail,
could they?
I thought of a buddy of mine, Bill
Stout. He was a chronic smoker-
you know -the type. The world is
ihis ashtray. He had already started-
several expensive fires by laying
down cigarettes and forgetting
where he'd put them. He had-seen
an ad in the paper for an ashtray
guaranteed to snuff forgotten ciga-
rettes. Just the thing for him. He'd
ordered the thing, and when.it came
in the mail he had found out why it
had been guaranteed-it had to be
filled with water. How we'd all
,laughed at Bill for being caught by
slick advertising,
BUT how could a mousetrap be
guaranteed .to kill if it didn't
do just that? No, I wa' safe enough
from the. hilarity of ,our crOWd. I.f I
bought a lemon and the story hap-,.
peried to leak. ,olst .- should' never

from Bill. I reumeltibef h6ow mad

But a mousetrap guaranteed to ki4W
-there was no- way of getting
around it.
I tried, to ftigre out what the
thing would be like ]asicall; a
mousetrap, doesn't appear capable
of much change. I mean to say, the
thing 4& all know' as a mousetrap
is sound, and seems about the only
way to go about catching mice short
of running after them.
That same Sunday night I had
dreams about mousetraps. I'm
one of those guys who can al-
ways remember his dreams
with crystal clarity. The mouse-
traps I had entertained In my
subconscious during the night,
while they had seemed pretty
"good at the time, were complete
washouts in the harsh light of
day. Most of them were Rube
Goldberg affairs, and none of
them would have worked.

Baby Crop In State

On Upward Trend

September Is Record Month for
Number of New Residents
Arriving Via Stork

The baby crop, like everything
else, is on the upward trend in
Florida.
Figures just released by the state
board of health bureau of vital sta-
tistics showed more birth certifi-
cates filed during September than
in any other month in the state's
history.
September is traditionally a heavy
month for births, vital statistics
records indicate. During the Sep-
tember just past, the number of
birth certificates recorded with the
agency totaled 7,075, as compared
with 6,061 the previous month of
August. Of this number, 10 made
their debut at the Port St. Joe Mu-
nicipal Hospital.
The "low" month for birth regis-
trations so far this year was April,
with 4,922 births recorded. May was
next with 5,007 registrations noted.
Other birth registrations by months
included: January, 6,400; February,
5,340; March, 5,794; June, 5,047;
July, 5,428.
Births for September in recent
years include: 1950, 6,267; 1949,
5,565; 1948, 5,640; 1947, 5,373; 1946,
5,680, and 1945, 4,938.
