County Commissioners are then
required to order an election to be
held countywide with all 'persons
who are qualified under the gen-
eral election laws allowed to vote.
The names of any town, 'village or
city located in the County may be
placed on the ballot for selection
as County Seat by filing them with
the Clerk of Circuit Court, and the
two Towns, Cities or Villages re-
ceiving the largest number of
votes shall be voted on in a run-
off election, with the one receiving
the largest vote in the run-off elec-
tion designated as the County Seat
for the next ten years. Costin poin-
ted out that this method would do
away with the need for Legisla-
tive action in the matter and keep
the action strictly local.
Senator Tapper was not avail-
able for comment at press time,
but at the Town Hall meeting held
recently,' he stated that if the peo-
ple wanted the Courthouse moved
to Port St. Joe he would do every-
thing in the form of legislation.
that was in his power to see that
the Courthouse was moved.
Costin stated that he would hold
another Town H-all meeting at the
Courthouse in Wewahitchka on
March 31st at 7:00 o'clock p.m.
(CST) with everyone invited to dis-
cuss local' or general legislation.

held in Port St. Joe on March 4

ways during the-month.of May.
This agreement was reached af-
ter Cecil M. Webb, of Tampa, and
Walter Warren, of Leesburg, heard
the recorded discussions on' Tues-
day's hearings at Tallahassee and
Blountstown, which were held by
SA. F. Rich, of Tallahassee, and Mil-
ler V. Joiner, of Jacksonville. Webb
and Warren were unable to attend
the previous meetings, because of
business reasons.
After hearing the record, the
Commissioners voted* on the com-
promise agreement because of two
reasons: 1. because of the split
opinions of the people themselves
who were just about evenly divid-
ed. on this issue and 2, because of
the financial hardships :affecting
the camp operators who have al-
ready .-spent considerable money

The four bodies of water WlVeh
will be closed dur ing the month of
May are the Dead Lakes and Lake
Wimico in Gulf and Calhoun Coun-
ties and Merritts-.Mill, Pond. and
Ocheesee Pond in Jackson County.
The Commission also decided to
send two biologists to Dead Lakes
to begin an investigation in an ef-
fort to measure the catch of sport
fishermen and to make population
surveys on the famed Northwest
Florida fishing spot. 'Funds to 'pay
for such an investigation will be
taken from the- profits derived
from the Commission's controlled

The Commission expressed dis-

several years and information ob-

Radar Speed Control
Is Dernontrated Here

Patrolman Randall Robinson, a
Safety Education Officer of the
Florida State Highway Patrol dem-
onstrated the new radar viewing
device to check the speed of auto-
mobiles to local law enforcement
officers here Tuesday afternoon.
The scope puts out a radar beam
and as a car crosses the beam the
scope records the speed at which
the car is travelling. The machine
is so sensitive that-it will even
record the velocity of the wind
blowing against it.
Patrolman Randall stated that
soon the entire State Patrol will
be equipped with the scopes in
teams of two. A patrol car sets
with the scope and records the
speed of passing cars and radios
ahead to a waiting patrolman a
description and tag number of the
speeder for apprehension and the
patrolman then passes out safety
literature to the offender and a
booklet of penalties for not obey-
ing the Florida highway laws.

A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY TURNS
After a thorough investigation in the mat-
ter and after having examined the evidence
both pro and con and from the back to the front,
we are whole heartedly of the opinion that the
season of Spring is definitely here.
The appearance of this delightful season
of the year is usually the harbinger of many
strange and delightful actions and feelings in
people of both sexes and all ages.
Usually, without a single exception, at this
time of year, an older man's attention and inter-
ests are almost invariably turned and looks for-
ward to many pleasant afternoons in the warm
sunshine just sitting and soaking up all that free
vitamin "D" and watching the wonders of na-
ture unfold before their eyes.


The middle aged men usually get out the
fishing tackle about this time of year and get
it oiled and ready for use. We know that most
of the men around here keep their fishing tackle
ready and in, practically constant use the year
'round, but those few that don't, begin getting
ready to drown a few worms.
The younger men renew their vigor in pur-
suing the fairer sex and'look forward eagerly to
long walks in the cool, fragrant twilight hours
of these spring e enings.
The young men-t6-be and women-to-be
start wearing a path to the old swimming hole.
Now comes the rub, there's no swimming hole
around here to wear a path too, except the
bay and the gulf and one doesn't do much
swimming there, just floating and coughing salt
water.
Around about this. time of the year it is
brought out forcefully that Port St. Joe is in
dire nseed0of a swimming pool to provide a lit-
tle something for the boys and girls to do dur-
ing the spring and summer months.
We have looked into the matter, and have
found that a swimming pool around here would
cost a nice piece of change; about $75,00pi0 in
fact for a real first class pool, and who wants
a second class?
That's a lot of money to sink in one project.,
But, the amount of money is not as great as
the need.
There are several ways that a swimming
pool could be financed here and we are going
to try a few of them. If you have any sugges-
tions and want a pool here for your children
how about giving us a: little boost and a few
suggestions. We're serious. What with the in-


creasing influx of tourists and tourist traffic,
not to mention the need to our own boys and
girls, a swimming pool would be a definite as-
set for our town, instead of a liability.
Give the matter a little serious thought and
let us know how you feel.


ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


We found out last week that
there are a few people who read
this rag. Long about 10:00 Wednes-
day morning, we were loping gent-
ly along with our old Cotrell "98"
(98 loose pieces) when all at once
she sounded like an old Essex
throwing a rod, then coughed once
and stood still. Well, we looked at
the coating on the rollers,. check-
ed the revolutions (pulse in hu.
mans) and looked at the forms for
loose quoins aind nary a suspicious
looking varmint did we find. Then
came Ihe only thing to do. Get out
and get under. So get under we
did and found a drive gear in fif-
'te64 pieces. S:o we sighed a sigh
of. despair and mentally chalked up
a six hour op hour t ''wo rs to get-
the press, apart, two hours to get
our .friend and master fixer; An-
drew Martin to put the wheel back
together and braze it together.
'Then another two hours to put it
all back together again. We finally
got the part off in just a little 'over
two and'a.half hours and carried
it around to Andrew upon which
he made the discovery that the
three inch thick steel drive shaft
was cracked bad and bent and had
been so for some few years be-
fore it finally, gave way. By this
time it was dark and there was
nothing to do but wait til Thurs-
day morning at which time we
prevailed upon Mr. 'Hobaugh at the
paper mill to allow us to enter our
ailing part in the paper company
machine shop. He in turn took the
matter up, with Hisrry Saunders
and they ,graciously agreed to let
us' take the part to the machine'
shop to be fixed. Well they had to
take the full day on it and cut
off the ailing section of the drive
shaft and welded on a new'one and
turned it down to size and made
a part as good as new. It was a
struggle, but we got 'the paper out.
We feel we received our mon-
ey's worth in telephone service
Thursday and Friday morning by
people calling up to say "Wheah's
my papuh, bud".

We went down to the city hall
Tuesday afternoon to watch the
display there of the electronic
device to tell how fast a car is

RED CROSS


travelling on the road. You know1
it's right amusing. 'There sat these
two patrol cars demonstrating the
gadget and up the boulevard these
cars would come burning the road
up, but just let the drivers catch
sight of those patrol cars and back
they'd. haul on the reins and se-
dately creep by at a modest 20
miles per.

We suppose you read of the lit-
tle escapade around at Costin's De-
partment Store las' Sunday night.
Well, it seems that our local po-
lice have practically solved the;
crime and they are certain that
the perpetrator of the crime wa*
a teen-age boy. So we see that ugly,
demon "juvenile delinquency" lift-
ing his head in our town. Once
started, like anything else, it is
hard to cope: with and stop. In ref- .
erence to this we are pointing toi:
the above editorial as a possible
partial solution of the problem.
We cUd not have this in mind when
We wrote the editorial as it was
written the first of last week and
this only happ med Sunday. We
made mention of the fact that the
$75,000.00 'needed to construct a
pool was a lot of money but felt
reasonably sure that it would be
worth the amount in attractions to
tourists and convenience to the lo-
cal populace. Now, happenings
force us to come to the conclusion
that the price is cheap: and that a
swimming pool and other means
of diversion for young folks are
needed urgently. Hre we go again
with that age !old argument, "I
didn't have all that when I was a
kid". Also Mr. and Mrs. Citizen,
there were more natural attributes
in the country to give you sources
of diversion. Now, all we have in
our towns are places to lie, stores
to purchase what we- want and a
hike of many miles before one can
even enjoy walking through the
woods. What can a child do in an
"asphalt jungle" such as our cities
today have become? Study this
matter carefully and just remem-
ber, this boy in question came from
a "good" family, and as far as we
know, had the right upbringing,
but he just put his energy in the
wrong direction. Don't ever forget,
it might be your child next. It
would be to your benefit to get
behind a swimming pool and any
other project that comes to light
for the benefit of our children and
for their recreation.

It's so easy to wash electrically. Just toss your clothes
into the automatic washer where they're washed, rinsed
and spun without lifting a finger. Then, take the clothes
from the washer and put them into the dryer. Set the auto-
matic timer so the clothes come out ready for ironing.
While more clothes are being washed and dried, you can
be ironing the first batch, quickly and easily, with your
ironer.

BUY ALL THREE! The whole family will have more
time for fun every daywas ... with a home laundry that's
automatic and electric, of course.

SMac White


The fellow who sat next to
me at the coffee stop near
Orlando was from Apalachi-
cola and he was beefing about
trucks.
"There were three big
trucks ahead of me on Route
41," he grumbled to .the
counter man,. "traveling so
close together I couldn't pass.
They hog our highways; bust
up our roads, and who pays
the bill-? We do-the little
motorists."
He went on that way for
about five minutes. I finished
my coffee and then I turned
..to him.
"Look, Mister," said,
"you're pulling my cork but
we, truck drivers can't afford
to lose our tempers. But'let
me steer you straight 6n a
few points."
He swallowed some coffee
and looked at me, sort of
surprised.
"In the first place," I said,
"those three trucks, traveling
close together, were 'tailgat-
ing'. It's strictly against regu-


lations and drivers who con-
tinually practice tailgating are
soon washed out.
"In the second place-we're
more than paying our way.
The average passenger car
pays annual road taxes of
$44.56 while the larger truck
pays an average of $3,551.10
--as much in one year as a
passenger car would pay in 79
years.
.... .'As% for busting up high-
ways-each state has truck
size and weight laws. The
American Association of State
Highway Officials set up these
standards in 1946 and by golly,
we truckers have to abide by
these laws.
"And for your information,
pal," I added, "right here in
Florida we have nearly
200,000 trucks and more than
100,000 truck drivers who are
...doing a terrific.job, if.you'll
pardon my modesty. Think it
over-everything you eat,
wear or use is carried at least
part of the way by motor
truck. Happy driving, Mis-
ter."

FISHING' and HUNTING'
Straight From A "Harper"
Named George

Fishing has been exceptionally
good at Lake Wimico for ten days.
Terry Hinote, Fred McLean and
C. L. Davis took three paper com-
pany officials Thursday and caught
eighteen bass in the morning,
which dressed eighteen pounds..
Herman Marshall and party
brought a bass in to be weighed,
which. tipped the scales at 6 lbs.
Carrol Warner and Mr. Mitchell
stopped in Tuesday with sixteen
bass on a string. They had camped
on Lake Wimico Monday, night.
Dick Spillers, Terry Hinote,
Johnnie Adams, T. C. Smith, Dan
Hatfield, Dr. A. L. Ward together
with many others have enjoyed the
catch of "the limit" of bass during
the past week.
Bream are biting in the Lake.
The water is getting warm and the
fish are beginning to bed. The lim-
it has been brought out by several
people this week.
Tom Maloney and son, Earl have
enjoyed fishing, bringing in the
limit several days this week.
The water is still muddy but re-
ports are coming in that some fish
are being caught at Dead Lakes.
Henry Stone told us Sunday that
the river is callingg fast at Willis
Landing.
Amos Tindel, of Dothan fished
in Lake Wimico Saturday and was
well pleased with his trip,. ....
Len Cohen, Joe Kaseltzer, Meyer
Bloomberg, Joe Kaseltzer and
friends of Dothan, Ala., fished here
over the week end.
If you love mother nature's paint-
ings in the spring time, you should
take a boat trip to Lake Wimico
now. The trees are in full green
array, dotted here and there with
a flower, along the banks of the
canal as well as the lake.
Early in the morning or late in
the afternoon the shrubs and trees
along the banks of the Canal re-
flect their true natural appearance
in the water.
Mother nature paints pictures
which improves your outlook on
life.

NEW TYPE OF CHICKEN
FEED IS DISCOVERED HERE
Joe Daniels of Highland View
stepped out in his back yard last
Sunday morning to kill his last
remaining rooster for the Sunday
dinner. When the, chicken was
cleaned it was found that the giz-
zard had a nail protruding through
its side. Upon opening the gizzard
it was found to contain a number ;
four nail.
The chicken had apparently swal-
