'Outstanding player of the game Swas Fred McCall, Shark fullback, whose pass-snatching late in the fray nearly scored for. the Saints. Just before the end of the game he snagged a Quincy pass and raced to Quincy's 33-yard line for a 53-yard gain, longest of the game.

Waste and Extravagance .of Truman Administration Is Turning Tide By RUSSELL KAY It seems that not all Florida Dem- ocrats are so imbued with .down- the-line party loyalty that they are willing to march meekly to the polls and vote the Democratic ticket whether or no. Southern Democrats are far from happy. They realize now that they have been taken for a grand and glorious' ride, and they are deeply hurt and angered. Evidence, of this is becoming more and more ap- parent. I have received a circular issued by the Columbia Cpunty Democrats for Eisenhower. It 1is refreshing and bespeaks hope for America. It ad- vocates that voters put patriotism above party, principles above poli- tics, and urges Democrats to vote for Eisenhower, but calls for party support as far as state and local candidates are concerned. A similar resolution comes from Season To Open On 'Flying Bullets' Oct. 1 Dove Hunters To Have Two Open Seasons With Hunting Daily From Noon Until Sunset The shooting of "flying bullets" seems to be on the verge of becom- ing one of the great hunting pas- times in Florida, according to the state game commission, for data from last year's hunting season re- vealed that more than 33,000 sports- men walked through the fields in search of the elusive and speedy migratory game bird, and their suc- cess was marked by a bag of 524,- 400 dotes during the season. Prospects for the coming season call for an even greater number of hunters and an even greater shoot- ing period as many thousands of nimnrods try their luck. This year Florida will have two- state-wide mourning dove seasons, one during the fall and the other in the winter. One will run from Octo- ber 1 (next Wednesday) through October 15, while the second starts December 15 and ends December 29.

Our Country Right or Wrong OUR HISTORIAN AT WORK Your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman has thrownthe short and ugly word, like a hunk of raw fat, into the heretofore glowing political embers, aild we now behold a blazing fire. In a snarling "non-political" speech welcoming a group of dazed, newly-naturalized citizens into our "Promised Land", he explained "the big lie" as "a weapon of political warfare, developed by the Communists, perfected by Hitler." "It is a big lie, for example," he said, "to say that we tolerate Communists in our government." At his press conference next day, he was asked about Eisenhower's statement that he had re- fused the presidential order to take command of the railroad strikers in 1946. No such conversa- tion ever took place, replied High Hat Harry. At this point, an aide whispered in the Truman ear. The president then added that perhaps it is pos- sible somebody else may have had such a con- versation, he certainly didn't. But then, in his folksy message to the Ameri- can Federation of Labor convention, he warned: "Some of the special interests are already grind- ing their axes for a fresh attack on labor in the event of a Republican victory," and that right now these "plans are afoot in Wall Street." Some time ago you may recall the president's explaining how hard he worked at his job, and likening himself to a character he said was buried at Tombstone, Ariz., and whose epitaph read: "Here lies Jack Williams, he done his damnndest." And if you think that's a lie, big or little, that grave-marker is out there for you to see .... The people of Tombstone erected it after your friend (he ain't ours) Harry had spoken. TIME FOR A MORATORIUM A routine announcement from the department of agriculture may prove more devastating than the atom bomb.

Deen, 60, of Quit- man, Ga., sister of Mrs. T'4 9 1t' ,' of this city, died Sunday, Septem- ber 7, at the Brooks county hospital, near Quitman, following a four-day illness. She was the former Miss Fannie Avan Wynn and was born in Glenville, Ga., April 22, 1893. Funeral services were held Tues- day morning at the Quitman Meth- odist Church with the pastor, Rev. L. D. Shippey, officiating, assisted by Rev. W. 0. Hander. Interment was in the Oak Hill Cemetery. ,Mrs. Deen and her late husband had always put the church and its work first in their lives, and as a tribute to the love and esteem in which the couple were held, the members of the Woman's Society of Christian Service voted to place a memorial window in the chapel honoring Mr. and Mrs. Deen. ,Mrs. Deen, a woman of quiet mien with a gentle, kind heart, had served in various official capacities in the W. S. C. S. and in many of- fices of the Order of Eastern Star, having served as worthy matron for several years. She had been a resident of Quitman since 1923. In Memory of Mrs. A. C. Deen /t's with submission to God's will, For He doth all things well, That we pay tribute to Mrs. Peen Who with us so long did dwell. She was gentle, kind and loving,, Gladly serving when she-could.- Though her health was slowly failing, She did far more than she should. Now she's gone, to make her home In our Father's house above Where He has so many mansions And where all are filled with love. So let not our hearts be troubled, Neither let us be afraid, For some day we'll be together If God's will we have oheyed. She will still live on in Quitman, In our hearts she will remain, Never growing any-older, Always looking junt ine same. -Written by Mrs. Allie D. Griffin. It pays to advert e--try it! one piano.

FLORIDA DEMOCRATS (Continued from page 1) cratic party no longer represents the true Democrats of the South. . It has harbored Communists in high places and labeled all at- tempts to dislodge them "red her- ring." It considers that the party's nom- inee was handpicked. by Harry S. Truman and that the basis for the selection was knowledge that if elected this candidate would con- tinue the Truman policies and di- rect the nation further down 'the road to disaster and corruption, The Clay county resolution points out that the platform of the na- tional Democratic party is a so- cialistic program and deserts the fundamental democratic principles upon which the party was founded;, and which principles were adhered to prior to the advent of the "New Deal" and "Fair Deal" cliques who have stolen the party name and the national party machinery. Denounce Waste and Extravagance It denounces waste and extrava- gance and the growth of a gigantic central government bureaucracy inE Washington. It points out that both Democratic nominees have again and again indicated their inten- tion to continue to follow the Fair Deal line with its trend to social- ism, centralized bureaucracy, and civil rights program, including the FEPC. It points out that "the national convention, under domination of the above groups, nominated'Adlai E. Stevenson for president, a man who has been a close associate of the unscrupulous Fair Deal bureaucracy and such radicals as Alger Hiss, a convicted perjurer and a traitor to the United States. It nominated John J. Sparkman for vice-presi- dent, a Southerner who has de- serted true Democratic party prin- ciples and is a recognized Fair- Dealer, who has 'sold his birthright for a mess of pottage'." It calls attention to the fact that the election laws of Florida provide that Democrats. shall vote-,bnlyfor a majority of the nominees of the party in order to qualify as Demo- OTTO- .crats, and opposes placing blind loyalty to the party label above God and country. Urge Voters To Support Ike It points out that the platform and nominees of the Republican na- tional convention, while not wholly acceptable to the committee, "do more nearly conform to the official platform of our committee than .do the national Democratic nominees." It urges Florida Democrats to support state and local nominees, but vote for Eisenhower'for presi- dent, and adds: "Recognizing the fact that an unholy alliance of non- Democrats have seized control of our Democratic party nationally, we respectfully urge the Democrats of Clay county, following the general election of 1952, to either co-operate with any sincere national effort to form a new party, or reorganize the Democratic party of Florida as a completely independent party, in opposition to any nationally con- trolled party which does not ad- here to sound democratic prin- ciples, in order to save American constitutional government and stop the present trend to socialism and eventual totalitarian dictatorship." This revolt of Democrats seems to be general throughout the state and growing. --*---"--------- PRESBYTERIAN. SERVICES Murdock Campbell of Pensacola will be guest speaker at the 11 a. m.

For the Fall Table To spark up a simple meal, call on Nature's unusual decorations. Look for interesting stones, stumps, weeds and grasses. Mushrooms, ar- ranged in a copper bowl with\a few autumn leaves, makes a very effec- tive arrangement. If a few bright- colored blossoms are available, you can have a very colorful and strik- ing table setting.

JOE, GULF COUNTRY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1952 jr TPT OEUIE Fishing Dope for Creech A couple of weeks ago, Charles Creech up there in Andalusia, Ala., wrote us asking for some dope on fishing around here, saying that he couldn't trust his brother Gus, so we're" doing what we can for him. The king mackerel are striking fairly well in the Gulf, and we've heard of quite a few choice redfish being .caught off the city dock as well as in the bay. Speckled trout are coming in in small num- bers, and it is expected that with the first cold. spell they will .be here in droves. A couple of the oldtimers inform us (we claim nothing. in the. way of being an authority on our salt water fishing) that the next two or three, weeks will be the best of the fail fishing, season, barring a hurri- cane or sudden freezing weather. At, the moment, Charles, the wea- ther is supersquendacious, and our long-range weather prognosticator insists that the present spell will remain with us for some time. As to fresh water fishing, we un- derstand that the bass are hitting good up on the Dead Lakes, and we have seen several, nice strings of bream and shellcrackers brought in from Lake Wimico and its tribu- taries, as well as from the Brothers and points on the Apalachicola River. Personally, it has been quite some time since we have wet a hook. We are told that the fall run of those big mackrel should be along shortly and that Spanish mackerel are being caught in fairly large numbers the past week. Ha'\en't heard of any ling being taken lately, but a small tarpon or two has been' brought in. Something to look forward to is the fact that 150,000 fingerling bream have been dumped into the Dead Lakes, and the Apalachicola and Chipola Rivers by the state fish hatchery at Wewahitchka, and now if we can get some water in the Dead Lakes perhaps we can catch a few fish next year. CAjRD OF THANKS 'May we. express to our neighbors, friends and the ho spital staff our most sincere' thanks for all the kindnesses extended us during the recent illness and death of our bro- ther-in-law and uncle, Joe Stebel. Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered. Mrs. Luella Stebel and baby. APPRECIATION To our many friends, we express our sincere gratitude for the cards, flowers and tempting dishes.
