Two-Month Closed

Season On Fishing

In Third District

Ruling Announced By State Game
Commission After Request
By Sportsmen

Fresh waters of the entire third
conservation district in Northwest
Florida will be closed during the
months of. April and May, accord-
ing to an announcement by the
state game and fresh water com-
mission.
The ruling was made last week
after George Core of Wewahitchka
and Guy Little of Wakulla told the
commissioners that many sports-
men were in favor of closing the
waters in the Apalachicola River
valley counties-Gulf, Bay, Liberty,
Calhoun, Franklin and Wakulla-
during the spawning period of the
game fish.
John F. Dequine, chief fish biolo-
gist of the game commission, said
there was nothing to substantiate
a closed fishing season in Florida.
as it had no practical use. He said
tests have shown that waters open
the year 'round offer better fishing.
He added, though, that there was
a .psychological valpe in a closed
season in that anglers would think
there were bigger and more fish in
these areas after the season was
opened again.
Acting on this psychological
value, and complying with the
wishes of the sportsmen in the 3rd
district, the .commission agreed to
stop all fishing in the northwestern
counties (of the state during 'itose'
two months.
For the past several years the
only closed areas were Lake Wim-
ico and the Dead Lakes.

Cub Scouts Stage Hot Rod
Races and Skating Show

Despite the cold weather a con-
siderable number of spectators were
on hand Wednesday afternoon for
the second annual Cub Scout hot
rod races and skating event spon-
sored by the Kiwanis Club and
staged on Palm Boulevard back of
the elementary school.
Winners in the rot rod races, in
which there were 20 entries, were
H. Spaulding, driver, Billy Mazarol,
pusher; Cecil Lyons, driver, Glenn
Alligood, pusher; Tom M. Watts,
driver, Billy Simmons, pusher.
Winners in the skating contest
were Jackie Mitchel, first, and Hig-
don Swatts, second.

SHARKS TAKE BLOUNTSTOWN
FOR SECOND WIN OF SEASON
The St. Joe Sharks chalked up
their second win of the season Mon-
day night at Blountstown when they
defeated the Calhounians 7-6 in a
game that was postponed from Fri-
day night due to rain.
Both teams made their counters
in the first quarter, but Blountstown
failed in the try for extra point.
The Sharks scored on a long pass
play, with the extra point coming
on a pass. Neither team could score
during the remainder of the game.
The Sharks are scheduled to meet
Graceville here tonight, and will go
to Bonifay next Friday night.

PTA Hallowe'en

Carnival Proves To

Be Big Success

Affair Postponed and Then, Movec:
Into Centennial Auditorium Due
To Inclement Weather

By MRS. RALPH SWATTS
"The show must go on" was the
consensus of opinion when Tues-
day, the day qf the Parent-Teachers
Association carnival dawned cool
and cloudy, and a little later the
rain came down in torrents.
'Shifting the scene to the Centen-
nial Auditorium required consider-
able manipulating, but an army of
workers "manipulated" and the
carnival opened' on scheduled time.
Booths were set up in the entrance
and cakes, pies, hot dogs, coffee
and cold drinks were sold to the
huge crowd attending.
At 7 p. m. "Fairyland Fantasy,"
designed for the wide open spaces
of the ball park, was presented in
the auditorium. The home of the
Seven Dwarfs formed the back-
ground for the pageant, which com-
bined the story of "Snow White"'
with various fairy tales, Mother
Goose rhymes, comics and works of
literature too numerous to men-
tion.

THE VICTIMS NEED "CARE"
If the family next door were burned out of
their home by fire, neighbors would rush to help
-to offer whatever was needed.
It is hard to realize the effects of a fire when
the flames are 10,000 miles away. In South Korea
millions of helpless civilians-many of them chil-
dren-have suffered the conflagrations of war.
Homes have been destroyed, all possessions lost,
normal means of livelihood wiped out. At least
5,000,000 persons are homeless refugees. The
various governments have pledged supplies to
United Nations relief pools, but supplemental,
individual aid is still necessary to meet the des-
perate need for clothing, blankets and food.
The Port St. Joe Junior and Senior Women's
Clubs, in conjunction with the General Federa-
tion of Women's Clubs, are sponsoring a Thanks-
giving-season campaign to send CARE food and
textile packages from Americans to Korean war

BUILD FREEDOM WITH YOUTH
The "Build Freedom With Youth" program
sponsored by the General Federation of Wo-
men's Clubs and in which the Port St. Joe Wo-
man's Club is joining, emphasizes sharing the
responsibilities of American citizenship while en-
joying its privileges. Only one thing is supremely
important now, and that is to build together a
new kind of world. It is this "togetherness" that
is so important in this project, the fact that our
young people are working together to promote
some project of welfare for their communities in
co-operation with members of the women's clubs
and other civic organizations.
It has been the community improvement as-
sociations that has helped Port St. Joe and all
small communities to promote and maintain li-
braries, playgrounds with supervised recreational
facilities and many other projects that pertain to
the advancement of abundant living. But now
what is sought is an over-all picture of the com-
munity to determine its needs and to develop
projects that will meet those needs.

G. K. Dormany says: "There are too darn many
people in Washington who do too darn little
for anybody else except themselves."

First Ferryboat On
Apalachicola River
On Display At Park
Canoe, 23 Feet Long, Estimated To
Be 250 Years Old, Is Dis-
covered Near Bristol
It may be the first ferryboat ever
used on the Apalachicola, this 250-
year-old dugout. Now it rests in dig-
nified quiet at Torreya State Park,
located 13 miles northeast of Bris-
tol, but two and a half centuries
ago, its launching must have com-
pared in importance to that of
some great ocean liner of today.
Students who go to the Torreya
park today have reconstructed the
scene in the long ago when this
great dugout was launched by a
group of Indians encamped at the
mouth of a small clear stream
emptying into the board turbid Ap-
alachicola.
Undoubtedly, they say, great ex-
Scitement accompanied the launch-
ing, for it was a noble vehicle, hol-
lowed out of a giant cypress log
by fire and keen-edged stone tools,
a log that had taken the combined
strength and skill of a tribe to hew
down and snake out of the nearby
swamps.
The Indians have long gone, but
the evidence is unmistakable that
this canoe became the means by
which Indians for many genera-
tions were carried back and forth
across t he Apalachicola River,
there where it sweeps toward the
Gulf of Mexico between high banks.
Then the white man came. and the
canoe disappeared from its route,
and for more than a hundred years
it lay hidden.
In June of 1936 a foreman of the
CCC camp at Torreya State Park
was crossing the ferry from Bristol
to Blountstown and detected what
appeared to be a hollowed-out log
on a sandy bank. A closer exami-
nation disclosed that it was a ca-
noe, a dugout canoe in good state
of preservation. It was carefully
excavated out of the sand and mud
and taken to the park. where it
can be seen today as an object of
historic interest and the subject of
much conjecture.
The canoe is 23 feet in length, 2
feet wide and 12 inches deep from
top to bottom. One end is flattened
into a platform, evidently for the
steersman to stand on. Scientists
calculate it was used as a ferry ca-
noe more than 250 years ago.

New Elections Laws
Bringing On Talk
Minor Candidates By-Passing Rules
With Assertion No One
Will Enforce It
The political ferment at Talla-
hassee bubbled only slightly this
week, chiefly on what the new po-
litical contribution law means or
can do.
Brailey Odham of Sanford, offi-
cially announced candidate for gov-
ernor, blasted potential opponents
who, he said, have set up headquar-
ters and are beating the bushes but
won't comply with the law. Minor
candidates for governor brushed off
the campaign law, saying no one
would enforce it.
Secretary of State Bob Gray and
Attorney General Dick Ervin have
tried manfully to bring public un-
derstanding of the law's quirks,
but both seem to agree that en-
forcement of the law is in someone
else's hands.
Newspapers and radio stations
meantime were advised that the
new law does not prevent indi-
viduals from sponsoring and pay-
ing for advertising on behalf of
candidates, so long as the sponsor
is known and he acts in good faith
independently of the candidate.
What is believed to have been the
first production of chloroform for
use as an anaesthetic in America
was the work of a Nova Scotia
druggist in 1833.
