"To the homebuilder, southern pine is the shelter that provides protection from the most severe weather," says the book. "To the sportsman it is the forest in which he hunts. To the poet it is 'the spires of nature's cathedral that reach toward heaven.' To the car- penter it is the raw material that he can shape with ease. "Southern pine means jobs for hundreds of thousands of men and women. It is the backbone of the South's second largest industry. It is the cash crop that is adding to the economic growth of the South." Further along, it says: "The gol- den age of the American forest in- dustry has just ,begun. Look ahead to the industrial future of the South when all its forest lands are pro- ducing full crops of wood and em- ployment and carrying their poten- tial of plant investment." Yep, quite an interesting piece of literature. Taking R. O. T. C. Training Ashley Costin left Sunday for Camp Brookley, near Mobile, Ala., where he will enter R. O. T.

B. W. Eells, selected as chairman of the meeting, submitted copies of the proposed budget, together with operating costs in previous years, pointing out that the $241,719 pro- posed budget as set up amounted to $59,034 over the 1951-52 budget of $182,685, which required a mill- age of 16.5 on the county's $5,477,- 405 tax roll. He pointed out that, if the tax roll remains the same, this would necessitate a boost of ap- proximately 10.5 mills to raise the necessary funds, or 27 mills.

Smathers has asked South Carolina to let the grave of Osceola, Seminole Indian war chief, be transferred from Ft. Moultrie, S. C., to Florida, saying he was informed the the Ft. Moul- trie cemetery- is being demolished and that a descendant of Osceola is "most anxious" to move the re- mains to Florida. ISmathers made public a letter in which Larry Mike Osceola of Mi- ami, a-great-great-grandson of the Seminole chief, formally claimed his ancestor's remains. Osceola, who recalled that the Americans took his ancestor "un- der a flag of truce," said he was ap- pealing direct to Smathers because "it is a grave injustice and real ne- glect to leave the grave in the con- dition it is in." The Seminole war chief was cap- tured by U. S. army forces at St. Augustine, imprisoned at Fort Mar- ion, and later taken to Fort Moul- trie, near Charleston, S. C., where he died.; Recent Visitors Mr. and Mrs. Raymond DeMoss and daughter Brenda of Hopkins- ville, Ky., were recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Harper of White City.'

S. plane that was .shot down by the Russians in the Baltic Sea two years ago? A late bulletin announces that the Swedes have found five Latvian fishermen whbo witnessed the attack. This news comes on the heels of the Swedish rejection of the Soviet charge that the Swedish air force' Catalina, shot. down by the Russians last week, had violated Soviet territory, and had- opened fire first on the Red MIG's. In a stiff new note, Sweden stood by her in- itial protest to the kremlin, demanding punish- ument of the guilty fliers and indemnities. The unarmed Catalina was on a rescue mission, searching for survivors of another Swedish plane .that disappeared over the mid-Baltic. Noted for the diplomatic dexterity that en- abled her to remain neutral through both World 'Wars, Sweden's present attitude and the rising :anger of her citizens over this "outrage," has European capitals buzzing and, in the opinion of the editor of The Star, may be the prelude to World War III. And now Washington, too, is in the act. Will we, in the face of this new evidence on the fate of our own fliers, display as much spirit as Sweden? Perhaps Mr. Acheson, now in Europe, had better stop off in Stockholm. Trade with your home-town merchants.. THE LAW NOBODY WROTE The Curry County Times of Clovis, N. M., re- cently ran an editorial pointing to some of the tremendous and expensive administrative prob- lems the price control regulations have imposed on business. At the end it said: "Somehow the threat of inflation and skyrocketing prices sort of fades in comparison with the mess artificially maintained levels have precipitated. "Anyhow, we haven't heard anything about the law of supply and demand being repealed. Until it is, we think it's pretty unlikely anyone in Washington can dream up something better." Nobody wrote the lawv of supply and demand, no legislature enacted it, no eager-beaver gov- ernnment people enforce it. It's just a law of na- ture, and it has governed economies of the world since time began. Every effort to tamper with it or replace it with man-made economic law has created only confusion-and, in some cases, na- tional disasters. That law makes it certain that manufacturers will produce the things people want-in the 'quantity and quality wanted. It also makes it certain that our retail stores, from the smallest one-man shop to the biggest national chain, will stock those articles-and sell them at a price which is held to the lowest practical figure by free competition. No one has come up with anything even re- motely as successful as the law of supply and demand in centuries. It's not probable that even our present-day deep thinkers in government will be able to. And on top of that, it doesn't cost the taxpayers a red cent. How many of you know that the Jacksonville office of the price stabilization board has a payroll alone of $790,- 000 yearly? What a small boy saves for a rainy day is apt to be mischief. If you want a real candid opinion, question a girl about eight years old. The biggest problem these days is not how to make money, but how to keep it. Trouble about drunk drivers is that usually it's the fellow they hit wwho pushes up the daisies.

Game Commission Staff Cut To Grant Salary Inncreases Cost-of-Living Pay Raise Given To Keep More Efficient Employes Leaving for Better Positions Approximately 10% of the staff of the state game and fresh water fish commission will be laid off in order to grant a cost-of-living sal- ary increase to the lower-salaried personnel. according to Director B., L. McLauchlin. McLauchlin said that the reduc- tion would mean cutting off an es- timated 25 persons, including wild- life officers, secretaries and fish and game -biologists. .He said the" pay raise was to keep the more ef- ficient employes from leaving for better paying positions. Members of the commission re- cently voted a 10% pay increase for agency personnel now earning less than $300 a month. The increase will mean that the average salary will be raised from $237 to approxi- mately $260 a month. Personnel being laid off will be those with the least amount of ser- vice and will take into considera- tion local situations, where several counties have three or more war- dens. McLauchlin said that the re- duction would still give all coun- ties an average of two men in the law enforcement 'branch, depending on their size and needs. McLauchlin added that law en- forcement would not be curtailed in efficiency because of the large number of honorary wildlife offi- cers that will be named in each county within the next few months. These will be sportsmen who will have all the authority of a wildlife officer, including a commission and arresting powers, and it ig expected that the enforcement division will be strengthened considerably by this practice. SECOND RAILROAD (Continued from page 1) fortunately, complete statistics for this season are not available. Apalachicola's exports decreased so that only three-fourths as many bales of cotton were shipped as the year before. It is believed. that St. Joseph's trade decreased propor- tionately, for there is no suggestion anywhere that the city scored a great commercial victory. Decide To Build Canal 'During this winter the work on the St. Joseph & Iola Railroad was pushed steadily on. It was com- pleted some time during 1839. Al- though the exact date of the open- ing cannot be ascertained, it was probably as late as October, for the advertisement announcing its open- ing appeared in The Times of Octo- ber 28,'1839. Even before completion of the rail- road, the restless Saints-were turn- ing to a new 'project-or rather to an old one of 1835-the construc- tion of a canal from Lake Wimico to the 'bay. The vigilant Gazette of February 2 announced the project in these terms-: "Our friends of St. Joseph have already become con- vinced" that the few railroad to lola will.not answer their purpose. It is about to, share the fate of the old road to the. Depot-being. thrown by in disgust. They now talk of be- ginning anew, and digging a canal from their 'bay ,to the Apalachicola River." This,canal presumably was never begun, (Continued next week) Visitors From Chattahoochee .Mrs. Bill Ford and'niece, Martha Ford, spent Sunday in Chattahoo- chee.
