Five Road Paving Jobs



Assured For Gulf County


New Road Assured Between Port St. Joe and Apalach
To Save Distance of 11.7 Miles; State Aid Asked

The Gulf County Board of Commissioners, in a special meet-
ing Monday, passed on five moves for better roads in Gulf County
The action came in the second gathering of the newly, installed
Commission body, with all five projects expected to be in the
operating stages within a year.


Fire Department Has

3 Calls On Week End
/
The Port St. Joe Fire Depart-
ment had a busy week end. last
week answering a total of three
calls on Saturday and Sunday with
two of these being on Sunday.
'Saturday afternoon the depart-
ment was called to the colored
quarters to extinguish a blaze that
resulted from an overheated chim-
ney with the damage not too ser-
ious.
Sunday morning about 11:00 a.m.
'the department was called to High-
land View to extinguisih another
:blaze resulting from an overheat-
:ed chimney with the damage being
confined to the chimney area.
Sunday night the department
was called again to Highland View
to. a]iwer:.a- bla2.-,fthin was already-
covering half of the house involved.-
-quick and positive action by the
department localized the blaze to
its original confines and had to
be allowed to burn itself out in
one section of the house due to
the lack of water in the Highland
View area. The only water avail-
able was the fire truck tank full,
a 'forest fire truck tank full and
a shall stream from two garden
hoses.
When queried as to the probable
cause of so many fires in such a
short time, Durel Brigman, local
fire chief replied, "The only cause
I can think of is because I bought
a new pair of shoes Saturday that
I didn't want messed up".

Seal Sale Ends With
$1511.03 Collected

The 1952 Christmas Seal Sale
campaign ended up with a total
collection of $1511.03 in compari-
son to $1136.00 collected for last


STop among. the list of road im-
provements was the proposed re-
surfacing of state highway 71 to
run from the county line to Port
St. Joe. The county is asking the
state to do the paving job.
Among shorter stretches of pav-
ing will be the surfacing of the
road connecting Jehu Cemetery in
Wewahitchka with the paved high-
way. Another project is the paving
of First Street in Highland Vie.v.
Also it was decided to pave four
cross streets in Beacon Hill con-
necting the county road running
parrelel with the highway to the
highway.
The biggest job of road build
ing was brought up and approved
for the county to take steps to
pave a short cut from Port St. Joe
to Apalachicola cutting the dis.
tance between the cities practically.
in half.
The ir'..po:ed highway wwill'un
'frtay- hle 'Port St Se cit '"iTh
'in a direct line- across the.swaimp
to the 'oyster city. and will follow
the same approximate line of tra-
vel that tracks of the -palachicola
Northern Railroad travel.
This proposed road will cut 11.7
hkiles off the distance between the
cities and will be built practically
in a straight line in keeping with
the modern trend toward straight
wide highways.,
The main purpose of this. road is
to tie in with the highway now un-
der construction between St. Marks
and Perry and with the improved
shorter route from Panama City to
Pensacola, offering a faster, bet-
ter and shorter route for northern
tourists to the southern part of the
state, particularly Tampa. This
will mean a greater tourist trade
through this part of the state.

whose yard J: B. Wood had shot
himself, was no relation to Mr.
Wood. The Mrs. Jewel Dykes, his
daughter, of Port St. Joe lives at
Tyndall Field. The Star had listed
his daughter here as Mrs. Simon
Dukes. Don't know yet who made
the error, but somewhere along
the way it got made.

IT'S A CRYING SHAME
No doubt, you have seen column upon col-
umn written about the deplorable state of the
teacher's salaries in this and other parts of the
state and nation. Well, here you are going to
see part of another column written about it.
You, like we have done many times, prob-
ably glanced over the editorialist's efforts and
shook your head, sighed and probably said, "Yes
it is a shame that they aren't paid anymore than
what they are". We honestly didn't know that
they were paid so little in comparison with the
magnitude of their task and responsibility in
connection with the shaping of our children's fu-
ture, until we set the list of County School Board
Warrants for this week's issue of THE STAR.
It is a sad state of affairs, when a person
gives up at least four long years-of their life to
train for this service not counting the cost of
spending those years in training 'and most of
them are "rewarded" to the tune of about $30.00
a Week. How many of us would work for that
after undergoing all that training and expense?
We bet that there are colored men with less
than three years education working in the wood
yards at,the paper nilll that make asi'~uch or
more as some of the teachers do with a higher
standard of pay, as far as teacher's pay goes.
We now realize, that when we were.going
to school under some of these same teachers
and working afternoons and week ends here
at THE STAR, we were making more than the
teachers that were preparing us for this job.
Just a little snot-nose kid making more than
his trainer.
We now have a solution to the problem the
County Commissioners are having in distribut-
ing its gift of race track funds from the state.
Instead of trying to re-divide the funds between
the cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka, why
don't they give the teachers a raise and apply
these funds to the proper fund to permit this
raise in pay? Legally, the money is supposed to
remain in the use of the COUNTY anyway, and
not the cities. We think that both cities could do
without this money better, than the school teach-
ers. Maybe they could deviate some parts of
other funds for this use also.
Just read that list of warrants, found on
page 14 of this issue. You know the teachers and
how much they know. Now just take a gander
at the pittance they get in return for it.
It's a crying shame!


A STITCH IN TIME
We know this is strictly against the rules of
governmental procedure, but we noticed the
other day that Reid Avenue paving is showing
signs of wear and tear. It's busting out at the
seams and everywhere else too. In short, it's
cracking up.
Don't you agree with us that NOW is the
time for City Council to start looking into gett-
ing it fixed before it gets so bad that it ruins the
underside of a few automobiles and maybe cau-
ses someone to fall and hurt themselves?
We know, there's no holes, yet, but just
glance down the next time you cross Reid Ave-
nue and look at the- cracks all over its surface.
Let's not sit back and let it get in the shape
it was back in 1942 when it was practically worth
a broken neck to walk across.


TRUMAN BLASTS KREMLIN
Many times this newspaper has gone to
bat against Mr. Truman. Maybe he deserved it
and maybe not, nevertheless it went against him.
In this one instance it is going for him because
this particular instance warrants it, as you will
see from the following editorial taken from the
Brantford, Ont.,'.Canada, Expositor:
"For three years after the death of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, his
successor, seemed uncertain of his duties. His de-
cisions were not clear-cut and his policies, either
in the domestic or the foreign field, were indefin-
ite. He seemed to be groping his way, learning
as he went, in the most important single job in
the world.
The overwhelming vote of confidence in
his administration, recorded by the people of
the United States in November, 1948, changed
Truman overnight. No longer was he the bumb-
ling, apparently harassed and bewildered ad-
ministrator. His newly-acquired display of self-
confidence became almost overwhelming and
has, at times,'proved embarrassing even to his
colleagues. The way in which he campaigned for
Governor Adlai Stevenson was an example of
this.
Within recent weeks, Mr. Truman has lashed
out at President-elect Eisenhower, calling his
trip to Korea "political demagoguery." He has
also criticized General Douglas MacArthur for
suggesting that he knew of a way in which the
Korean War could be settled and offering his
plan to the forthcoming administration. On this
score, Mr. Truman was justified, to a certain ex-
tent, when he said that it was General MacAr-
thur's duty as a soldier to bring his plan at once
before the present administration.
President Truman has also spoken out
strongly within recent weeks against the policies
of the Kremlin. In an address to the National
War College in Washi ton, he accused Russia
of using the United States as a target for "the
most shameless, cynical and terrible campaign
of vilification ever conducted against an entire
people anywhere." ''
He said that the Soviet leaders had noW ap-
parently realized that they could gain nothing.
from war but catastrophe and have turned to a
policy of trying to drive a wedge between the
United States and its allies. He urged the people
of the United States to meet the present phase
of the Communist challenge, as they have met
others in the past. "We must make a real effort
to overcome the things that tend to divide us
from"our allies. If. this is.done, if we are able to
preserve unity and/confidence among the free
nations, we need not be panicky today about the
state of the world. We are not on the losing side.
The world is not about to collapse around us."
Perhaps his remarks about the attempts of
the Communists to divide the free world will
serve to improve relations among the nations of
the west. The Communists are proficient at di-
viding countries and groups of countries. Since
the free west is well aware of this Red policy,
it should not succumb to it. Squabbles between
Great Britian and the United States, for example,
should be kept to a minimum. Closer liaison
among the nations represented in the Korean
War if a realistic war policy is to be followed
there. Then, too, the nations of Western Europe
should remain united in their efforts to prepare
defenses against the threat of aggression from
the east.
While President Truman's foreign policy
may be open to criticism, he is to be commended
on his appeal for unity. The hope is that his
words will not fall on deaf ears."


"If you want to see pure Socialism mixed
with give-away programs, take a look at social-
ized medicine and socialized electrical power.
These things do not make for free men."
HERBERT IOOVER

"Here in the United States .. our bullets
are ballots and the only heads that roll are
those which figuratively topple as the people
demand a change peacefully-and get it. It's a
good system. Here's hoping we can continue to
keep it. Revolutions like these are good ones.
They keep a country strong, healthy and sound."

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

This has really been one of those
weeks. You know the kind, when
nothing g"es right. intay moids
ture played around with our a S -
matic job press and gave us a lit-
tie ,grie Tuesday, moisture played
around- with our easing 'i~ and
gave us more of same and.Wcdnes-
.day chilly weather played around
with iour in' and pave us more
grief. All around, it h&as. ben a
right, interesting week. We gained
a lot of experience and, nearly blew
our 'last fuse.
Several' people have asked us if
we intend to keep the three months
subscription rate at $127.50. We
think we will keep it there because
we might find someone who wants
it for just three months bad enough
to pay the price. We wouldn't mind
selling about a dozen of them.

On top of this past hectic week
we see by the funny papers where
Little Orphan Annie made up the
pages and ads in the "Futility" pa-
per while old Tom was on a New
Year's bender and she has only
been working in the joint for two
weeks before. And here we have
wasted over ten years in the busi-
nes and just barely manage to gei
the rag made up and make it look
like something, even now. Must be
that we're just dumb.
Speaking of the funnies, did you
get a load of the new shirt Lil' Ab-


ner is sporting around. The cres-
cent cutting business must be
booming. And Dick Tracy has dowu
it again.

The other day Mr. Neldeg came
by The STAR office to pay his
Wbseription and gave us a period
of very int'iresting conversation.
In fact it wasi so lttereiting we
nearly gave him his three skins
back, but he got out the door be-
fore we c uAld. Don't eome batk
after it noi, 3Mr Niljig, because
we'e- afeady spent it.
It seems Mr. Neideg's father was
*n the scene t et~ents when the
Republicr- parTty was first or-
ganized and he is, needless to say,
anti-Republican. Says he was born
a Democrat, raised a Democrat and
voted Democrat every time he ever
voted except one time and he has
been sorry of it ever since. He says
we should know which time that
was. Next time he comes out to re-
pair something around your house
you ought to get him started. Some
very interesting listening.

This modern age! We were by
Mr. Eells Firestone Store after an
ad the other day and Byron Eells
was in there mixing paint. In a
paint mixing apparatus, no less.
Meb'be they've had those gadgets
a long time, but that is the first
one we have seen. The day is com-
ing when all the lazy people can
be safe in applying for a job again.

We meant to mention it last
week but we forgot it. E. J. Rich
of Rich's Super Market had a beef
sale advertised two weeks ago and

Florida Must Improve Highways To

Meet Modern Day Traffic Standards


By RUSSELL KAY
In a nationwide radio and tele-
vision program, Harvey S. Fire-
stone, Jr., warned the nation that
unless concerted action is taken
now in an all-out effort to modern-
ize the nation's highway system,
the traffic problem will be so acute
we will suffer tremendous losses
through a complete breakdown of
our transportation-system. Already
the system is approaching' bank-
ruptcy.


Hildegard Neff is the lovely mermaid who swims towards
Gregory Peck in a scene from "The Snows of Kilimanjaro",
Twentieth Century-Fox's acclaimed drama coming soon to
the Port Theatre. Susan Hayward and Ava Gardner co-star
in the Hemingway story.


Comparatively little was done,
he points out, to expand our high-
ways to meet the steady growth
of traffic, and the situation is
growing worse instead of better.
There are 52,000,000 motor -vehi-
cles registered tbday and by 1960
ten million more/will be ,added to
that figure.

s.ie must have if her future aii a
tourist and industrial area is to be
considered. Motor travel in Flor-
ida will increase and both industry
and agriculture, if it is to grow
and expand, must have facilities
tor fast, safe motor transportation.
Our greatest need today is for a
iong range program designed to
give this state a permanent arter-
al' system, engineered to stand, up
with the least possible mainten-
ance. This cannot be accomplished
v, thin the term of this or any sin-
gle administration. According to es-
timates of experienced engineers
and road building authorities, it
will take-from ten to fifteen years
even if we start today with a
planned program.
Its accomplishment will be
speeded if -politics is kept o'ut of
the program, and capable compe-
tent engineers are retained on the
job regardless of who is road chair-
man or governor. Some states that
have been most successful with
their road building programs have
found that continuity of program
can best be achieved by appointing
road board members on staggered
terms so that no single governor
controls the board, and holdover
members are prepared to carry out
the long range program. Under
such an arrangement, at the out-
set, one member would be appoin.-
ed for two years, another for three,
another for four, another for five
another for six. As these initial
terms expire, all subsequent ap-
pointments are for six years.
Under such a plan there is les
concentration of power in the in-
dividuals, greater freedom from
political domination of a governor
and greater continuity of the over-
all long range program. It is a mis-
take to change road department
personnel with every change in po-
litical fortune. Able engineers and
technicians should be free from any
political influence and concerned
only- with giving the taxpayer the
s ft- roads possible at reasonable
cost. *.-
This article is not written as a
reflection on any administration or
any board. Florida has been most
fortunate in the calibre of men who
have served in the past, and the in-
coming board appears to be an ex-
cellent one.
The problem today is a serious
one and demands the most careful
study and consideration. The 1953
legislature can take action to pro-
vide for Florida's road building fu-
ture by setting up safeguards that
will insure continuity of program
and purpose, not only for the pres-
ent administration but for those to
follow.

Planting Time Festival

Will Follow the Sun North
o


Garden Organizations will initiate Planting Time activities on
the date shown for each.zone.


Spring spreads slowly over the
North American continent. In
Florida planting time is three
months earlier than in Minnesota.
This makes it impossible for gar-
odeners throughout the country to
celebrate a national garden week,
which would fit the season in all
states.
To obtain action in unison
among all who are interested in
practicing and promoting home
,gardening, the American Coun-
cil of Horticulture has devised a
.moving spring festival, known as
Planting Time, which follows the
sun as it'travels north from Jan-
uary until March.
Based on records of the U.S.
department of agriculture the
country is divided into four zones.
In each the average date of the,
last killing frost is approximately
the same. One month before this
date is selected as Planting Time
in that zone. Seeds of hardy va-
rieties may be sown; hardy plants
x* 'maybe transplanted; tender va-
rieties maybe started-under pro-
tection, and merchants of garden
goods should make these avail-
able to their customers.,

zones, each state has been cbn-

Comptroller Gsy Holds Up Payment,


Of Warren Road Board Attorney Fees


SComptroller C. M. Gay hesitated
T.e:sday at immediate payment of
$32,000 in special attorney fees
laid on his desk by the' outgoing
Warren Road Board. .
They -included a 'fee of $15,000
to Tampa attorney Pat Whitaker
for defending, a convict camp cap-
tain who .was accused of civil
rights violation and fees of $17,000
to three other 'lawyers for repre-
senting Gov. Warren and Road
Board members .in the Kilgore
kickback conspiracy case.
Gay said he is in doubt about
his legal authority to issue checks
for the payments, and "I don't
believe we'll get any. definite an-
swer tonight (Tuesday).
, "I'm just going, to take them
under advisement. If everything's
in line we'll pay them. If there's
any reason why we shouldn't we'll
hold them up."


A new Road Board took office
at noon Wednesday, and it might
be left to it to decide whether to
press for payment of the bills.
The Warren Road Board sub-
mitted bills of $9,000 from former
Gov. Doyle E. Carlton, Tampa, and
$3.000 from Charles A: Savage,
Ocal,' for defending the board
members against S, L. Kilgore's
civil'suit f6r $300,000 on a conten-
tion that he lost his job for resist-
ing a conspiracy to extract kick-
backs on road material purchases.
The Road Department also sub-
mitted a bill for $5,000 from Wel-
don G. Starry, Tallahassee, close
friend and advisor of the gover-
nor, who represented Warren in
the case. The litigation -lasted
only a few days more than a
month.
Gay said he was questioning
whether any portion of the bills


were for services still to be ren-
dered and whether he had author-
ity to make advance payments.
Some of the bills in the Kilgore
case were dated a week before
the litigation ended.
Whitaker represented prison n
camp Capt. L. P. Jones in a hear-
ing before U.S. District Judge Wil-
liam..J. Barker, who held the civil
rights charges against ..him .were
an invasion of state rights. The
case will be appealed;
The State Cabinet recently au-
thorized the Road Board to. em-
ploy William C. Pierce .to represent
four other convict camp .officials
against similar charges, and later
broadened the authority to cover
hiring Pierce to represent Jones
in the appellate courts. Ho al-
ready has been paid $4,125.
Savage, who submitted the $3,000
fee bill for special services in the
Kilgore case, is on the Road De-
partment payroll as an attorney at
$300 month.

Milk Products

Florida Population

Increased 259 Tons

If the stork's wings are bent like
those of a tired seagull it may be
because Florida's residents are
producing babies at the record
rate of more than 500,000 pounds
per year.
The Florida State Board of
Health ran across this interesting
bit of information while statisti-
cians in the Bureau of Vital Sta-
tistics were really looking for
something else.
They were seeking to determine
the average weight of all babies
born during 1951, and how many
were unde-weight, average or over-
weight, figures of importance to
the medical profession and public
health workers, says State Health
Officer Wilson T. Sowder.
Here is what they found:
Tr- average weight' of all ba-
bies was nearly 7 pounds, 6 ounc-
es. There was no significant racial
differences; white babies average
7 pounds 5.8, non-white babies 7
pounds,- 5.2 ounces.
Of more than 70,000 babies born
in 1951, eight per cent, or 5,869,
were considered underweight, tip-
ping the scales at less than 5


pounds, S ounces.
A total of 57.505 or 82 per cent,
were considered in the normal
weight range of from 5 pounds, S
ounces to 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Ten
percent, or 6,737 were considered
overweight as they registered 8
pounds, 14 ounces or more. In the
overweight group were 210 who
could quality for the 'heavyweight'
class, weighing in at 11 pounds, one
ounce or more. By contrast, in the
'lightweight' class, were 90h ba-
bies scaling less than 3 pounds,
four ounces.
Which was the heaviest and the
lightest? The bureau declines to
say.
"In order to arrive at that in-
formation," says Bureau Director
Everett Williams, ."we would have
to check through more than 70,000
birth certificates. We do not be-
lieve the relative significance of
the information would justify the
cost."
There were three sets of trip-
lets, all colored, born during the
year, while 697'sets of twins saw
the light of day, or about one 'et
of twins for every 100 births.
The total weight for all babies
born during 1951 was approximate-
ly 517,800 pounds, which figures
out to about 259 tons of brand-
new Florida citizens.

Sikes Says 83rd Congress Faces Task

Of Reducing Governmental Expenses

Says Armed Forces Cost Per Man Highest Ever;
Must Accept Cut In Budget

The top job awaiting Congress is Bob Sikes said in Washington to-
that of regaining control of the day.' "Neither will be easy," Sikes
budget and giving the nation a continued. "Congressmen simply
balanced budget," Congressman are not equipped to cope with big


modern budgets. Even the mem-
bers who serve on the appropria-
tions committees are at best only
part time budget experts because
they must devote much time to the
hundreds of constituent interests
which demand attention. In addi-
tion. congressional staffs are to-
tally inadequate for the job of as-
sembling adequate information on
budgets. The Congress is jumpy
from press and radio criticism of
the costs of the legislative branch


of government and putters along
with a one cylinder machine. Big-
ger staffs with proper training
could help save billions.
"Steps must be taken toward this
end. The nation is running in the
red, year after year. The national
debt is increasing while the cost
of government grows. The total in-
come of all tMe people west of the
Mississippi would be insufficient
to pay the annual costs of govern-
ment. Now we spend more in a

year than we spent in the first
century and a quarter of our na-
tional existence. Taxes are at an
all time high. They cannot be in-


creased and steps must soon be ta-
ken toward at least some reduc-
tions.
"A pyramiding national debt de-
mands action before it is too late.
But when we talk of the need for
action we fte this startling fact.
About 85%o of the annual budget
is for. the costs of war. Defense
budgets have for years been sacred
rows. No one has wanted to accept
t-he responsibility of putting his
judgment on defense needs ahead
of the opinion of that of military
experts. I'm afraid some of them
took advantage p th_ sitgatiol.
In any event, they asked for anii
secured appropriations for costly
installations, some of which could
have been postponed had the mili-
tary been content to use existing
bases which were considered 'ade-
quate for the emergency demands
of World War II. The result has
been military budgets higher even
than in World War II when four
times as many men were in uni-
form. The. military must take its
share of the cuts, too. Enterprising-
staff officers can make reductions
without injuring national .defense
and that is. particularly true in new:
construction. In any event Congress
must regain defense cost control.
"Another major problem facing:
the 83rd Congress is restoration of
a proper balance in income between
farm families and non farm famil-
ies. Prices to the farmer have been
dropping steadily in recent months.
yet prices to the housewife have
gone down but little and in many
instances are higher. Meat in fact
'is lower to the producer but higher
to the consumer. The fellow in be-
tween: is taking a bigger slice. It.
may help to drop controls and I
think Congress is prepared to do
that. It appears, however, that more
realistic guarantees must be writ-
ten into law to keep the farmers'
share of the national income at a
fair level, without penalizing the
consumer.
"It is time to stop foreign aid
other than military assistance.
Counting all funds, we have given
to foreign countries since 1940
eighty-seven billions, little of
which will ever find its way back.
I hope the new Congress will put
stronger emphasis on decentraliza-
.tion of government, stimulation of
world trade, local development of.
natural resources, and a reasser-
tion of constitutional authority in
international treaties.


"There is strong likelihood that
the Southern Democrat-Republican.
coalition will cease to function as
effectively as under the previous
administration. The republicans be-
ing the majority party may feel
less need for the votes of their
southern colleagues,, and antici-
pated absence of administration
pressure for free spending and so-
cialistic legislation will remove the
chief reasons for the coalition.
"Absence of an announced pro-
gram by the republican party may
foreshadow considerable inactivity
in Congress. However, the desire
of members of the FloIida delega-
tion for sound, middle of the road
legislation points to an honest ef-
fort on the part of the Florida mem-
bers to be cooperative with Gen-
eral Eisenhower's administration
and to make the session as pro-
ductive as possible.
"The Constitution gives to mem-
bers of Congress no voice in such
matters as Korean War policies,
but I as one congressman will wel-
come more positive efforts on the
part of the administration to bring
that fruitless struggle to a close,"
Sikes concluded.

trees on the other fellow's lands.'"
'More than one hundred conser-
vation foresters currently employ-
ed by the industry to provide for-
estry services to landowners wilE

els are arranged, one of which is-
to outline.a new method of sampl-
ing pulpwood cuttings to check
compliance with voluntarily ac-
cepted cutting standards and thsi
other two will cover the fields of
publicizing the Association's con-
servation work and how manage-
ment services are provided by the
various members. The discussion
on the latter two panels will be lead
by eight conservation foresters,.
.which provides for representation
of two from each of the Asseoia-
tion's four working areas. A dinner-
meeting of delegates representing,
each member mill will conclude the
activities for January 20.
'The annual meeting on January.

four panel discussions with eleven
panel members participating. These
panels following the reports of the

progress and effectiveness of the
entire conservation program es-
gaged in by the pulp and paper in-
dustry. President Earl Porter and[

the moderators for these panels-
Nine of the speakers leading

ber mills of the Southern Pulp-
wood Conservation Association,

pulpwood dealer. The remaining
speaker is Stanford Smith, Secre-
tary-Manager of the Georgia Press
Association and instructor in jour-
nalism at the Atlanta Division of

papers. Mr. Smith's varied exper-
ience in this field, including re-
porting for both daily and weeklY
papers, will be of particular assis-
tance to the industry personnel

possible for-him to return to Africa. Now, as she stands vigil near him, he torments her with

a study of "Silas Marner", a novel
by George Elliot. In addition to

are: the unuualI landscaping, the
artistic construction of the Red
House, Rainbow Inn, and Silas
Marner's thatched roof house.
SInaddition to this, Marion Par-
ker took as a project the construc-

ner's home. The building is. a ston
and log construction with a stone
fireplace and furniture typical of

sissippi Southern play Florida
