Actions By Your

City Commission


The City Council met at its reg-
ular meeting date, Tuesday, Jan-
uary 20, with all present except
commissioner Tharpe.
The commission voted to request
bids for the painting of the outside
of the Municipal Hospital building.

Bids were opened on bids for a
new pump to be installed in the old
fire truck with only one bid quali-
fying to the conditions. This bid
was from the Peter Pirsch Com-
pany with a bid of $1,925.00 for a
first grade pump to be installed on
the truck in Port St. Joe. The Oren
Roanoke Co., of Roanoke, Va., en-
ter-ed a bid of $1,545.00 for the same
pump but the truck must be deliv-
ered to their factory for installa-
tion. The W. S. Darlie Co., of Chi-
cago, offered to sell the city a dif-
ferent kind of pump to be installed
by the city for $980.00'for the pump.
The last two bids did not qualify
due to the conditions specified. All
bids were held for study due to dis-
crepancy in prices.

I. C. Nedley approached the com-
missioner with the motion that the
city inspect the catch basins being
constructed on Monument Ave., as
to effectiveness.

A letter was presented from resi-
dents of the Municipal Trailer Park
requesting ,that the city provide
more hot gater o.. the park. At
present an ,1igalon'- heater fur-
nishes the whole ark. The com-
missioners voted to purchase an
additional 100-galon tank and in-
stall it as quickly as possible.

Ben Tyson Dist. Co., was granted
an unloading zone on Third St.

The commission was presented
with the resignation of City Clerk
Ben Dickens, Jr., and the commis-
sioners regretfully accepted. After
a discussion, W. V. Henderson of
Ja,cksonville, Fla., was hired for
the job at a starting of $350.00 per,
month. It was pointed out by the
Mayor that he had contacted a
number of local people about the
job and that he could find none
that were qualified that would take
the job.

-Clerk Dickens requested an audit
of the City Books prior to his leav-
ing and the commission voted to
employ the D. A. Smith Co., of
Jacksonville to make the audit.

The mayor urged the commis-
sioners to study the City Charter
carefully to ascertain if any chan-
ges. in the Charter be necessary
due to the coming session of the
state legislature.
iAfter this, the meeting was ad-
journed.

'ed and copy promised by Tues-

by Tuesday noon. All advertis-
ing mats MUST be in by Mon-

find that we can relax these de-

to this schedule.

SCALLIONS TO YOU, SIRS!
And we mean big bunches of them too.
Yes,'we mean you, Mister County Commission-
er who voted in favor of passing the resolution
last week to. legalize the sale of intoxicating bev-
erages on Sunday in Gulf County. And you
lave only been office two weeks now. Heaven
'help the future of the county if your legislative
acts to come are to be like the one just passed.
We are not alone in these sentiments, by a
long shot. In fact, we have yet failed to talk to
anyone who IS in favor of such a move. Isn't
it customary to seek out the will of the people
you represent before passing such resolutions?
If you think not, we think it advisable that you
here and now resign from your office.
We did read in the minutes of the County
Commissioners that the resolution was requested
by a county resident, but we were under the
impression that the majority of the citizens had
the voice of power in such decisions, not just
one or two persons.
We wish to throw a bouquet of orchids to
Commissioner Cooper for his refusal to vote in
favor of this project and would like to know

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

We attended our first meeting
of the City Commissioners this
past Tuesday night and we would
like to report here and now that
they are bending over backwards
to save the city money. We notic-
ed that every matter that came up
that involved the expenditure of
city funds that someone came up
with the admonition that the mat-
ter be taken under careful consid-
eration to see if the city was re-
ceiving the full -value of the tax-
payer's money. A very fine atti-
tude we think, and one that we
could use in other forms of gov-
ernment here and there; mostly
there.

We made our semi-weekly trip
to White 'City Tuesday evening
to pick up the "White City News"
(our other trip is Thursday eve-
aing to deliver some papers to the
same community) and we picked
anp an extra column from the mind
of Geogre Harper and the pen of
Mrs. Harper concerning the fish-
ing and hunting in that area. Dur-
ing the course of conversation the
point was brought out that the
bobcats and raccoons are catching
and eating the young turkeys and
shortening the supply of same.
We, having just recently come
from Georgia, made the remark
that they ought to kill the 'coons
and eat them then. Mrs. Harper
gave an incredulous look and re-
pled, "Eat the 'coons! I. should
say not". We then proceeded to
enlighten her on the delicacy bf
the dish of barbecued 'coon meat.
Mebbe it don't sound good to you
but brother, you just haven't eat-
en anything fitten to eat until you
ehomp on a mess of barbecued
'cpon. We were dubious too, on
4ur first trial of the dish, but one
asouthful won us over.
JUst as a matter of information,


the 'coon is one ,of the cleanest
'unmalgd ii the woods and we might
add, about the most tasty

We made our first regular month-
ly payment on this place a few
weeks ago and it felt good. We
have been wishing for many years
to get the chance to make that
first payment on a place like this
and now we are looking even more
eagerly to the day we make the
LAST payment.
Ain't people funny that way?

Arthur Godfrey said the other
day that some scientist had in-
vented a process to make shaving
unnecessary for men. Who'll spon-
sor the ball games and fights on
the radio if they do away with the
razor blades? Oh well, it's prob-
ably only a snood to keep your
beard in anyway.

Anybody in town develop pic-
tures? We told you about our ex-
perience with Delany's Studio in
Panama City, about their week de-
livery. Last Thursday night we
got some shots of the Rebecca in-
stallation to go in the paper and
sent them first thing Friday morn-
ing by special delivery to Bryan's
in Panama City for their advertis-
ed 24-hbur delivery. Well, as of
12:00 midnight Tuesday, when this
was set we have seen no pictures
from ,the aforesaid studio. Needless
to say we are a bit riled about the
matter. Phooey on both of them.

We have a nomination for the
meanest person in the world this
week. Last week our children were
playing in the vacant lot to the
side of the STAR building with a
locomotive with a riding seat and
steering apparatus, that old Santa
had brought them for Christmas.
When they got through playing
with it, it was left at the side of
the building and some one came
by and picked it up. Needless to
say, they would appreciate having
it back.

Ideas in the minds of the maga. inhabit inland Florida's lakes,
sine's- millions of- leaders and streams and rivers to make the


cause thousands to follow the trail
of author Street and see for them-
selves this enchanting inland area.
While it lacks the glitter and
glamour of the Gold Coast or the
aloof, self-satisfied atmosphere of
the northwest, it makes up abun-
dantly with charm and scenic beau-
ty, and offers the visitor the joy
of comfortable relaxed living, with'
no excessive whoopee and no cov-
er charge.
Illustrated with an excellent se-
lection of pictures, it tells the fas-
cinating story of this sprawling em-
pire that is the home of the state's
great citrus and cattle industries,
of busy, bustling cities, lakes and
rolling hills.
Starting at White 'Springs and
the Stephen Foster Memorial, the
author takes his readers on a wind--
ing tour that includes just about'
every town and community in the
area. While he deals with such at-
tractions as Silver 'Springs, Cypress
Gardens, Bok Tower, the Great
Masterpiece and Tom Gaskin's
Cypress iMuseum, he has not per-
mitted their description to domi-
nate his story and the reader
meets many interesting personali-
ties who are a part of Florida's
Heart and have had much to do
with itsf development.
He tells of the countless motels
and trailer parks, pictures young
anzd old eri oying the pleasures that
attend life in central Florida for
both native and visitor; swimming,
boating, fishing, shuffleboard, mo-
toring over rolling highways with
wide vistas of sparkling fresh wa-
ter lakes and well kept groves
meeting the eye. Calls attention to
the extensive cattle ranches where
herds of choice cattle may be seen
grazing on luch grasses. Tells of
the introduction of the Brahman
cattle and crossing with native
stock that revolutionized the in-
dustry and put Florida on 'the map
as a cattle state.
Stopping for a look at the Uni-
versity of Florida in Gainesville,
Street informs readers that it is
the largest university in the south
on one campus with the exception
of Texas. Reminds us that it was
here "Red" Barber got his start,
the Cracker boy who has thrilled

hair stand up on the nape of any
follower of Isaac Walton. Backing
up his verbal description are pic-
tures that no true sportsman could
possibly resist.
He tells how thousands of folks
with modest incomes find a real
haven in the Heart of Florida.
Folks who have found that they
can beat the ever-growing tax rap
by turning to trailer life. Here they
find just about all that anyone
could ask for. Open roads alive
with scenic beauty, thousands of
lakes where swimming, boating


and excellent fishing are always
available, an abundance of fresh
fruit and vegetables plus balmy
weather and health-giving sun-
shine.
While such charming, peaceful
communities as Ieesburg, Mount
Dora, Orlando, Winter Garden,
Kissimmee, Lake Wales, Sebring,
Avon Park, Winter Haven and
many others may be short on night
life and lacking in such attractions
as horse racing, prize fights and

sight-seeing buses, they are never-
theless appealing to thousands of
folks who don't go in for that sort
of thing and are content with sim-
pler pleasures,
Florida is indebted to author
Street and to 'Holiday for .this
timely article dealing with a dif-
ferent Florida, a more inviting and
charming Florida than is known to
those who limit their knowledge of
the state to Miami and its environs.
