After much deliberation among the students of Port St. Joe High 'School, the student body came to the recision that something must be done to erradicate the vanda- lism that has, lately, occurred to'. frequently in our school. Whereupon the student council called a meeting of the entire stu- dent body to discuss this problem before the council. No immediate conclusion was reached but the problem was presented in such a manne- .that the response 'to wil, ing out the destruction of school property, etc., was practically una- nimous. It has been proposed and passed upon that in order to achieve our purpose, the following inyestigat- ing board would be innaugurated. It will consist of the following: County Board member, Principal, Supervisor, Superintendent, Minis- ter, County Judge (Juvenile), Rep- resentatives from- eaah -hone ro'hu., Mayor, 2 or 3 parents, Sheriff. This is not only a job for the school but to eveiy citizen of this community to see that these wrong doings are. copreoted an" 'i-.; l,,- prevent further occurrances. We implicitly urge your support in this project,to help make our .school ana comnnlnity a better ione in which to live.

Gov. Recommends $300 Raise The Florida State Legislature last week voted on a $350.00 per year raise for each teacher unit.in the State of Florida. Governor McCarty proposed a $300.00 raise for the teachers and the Florida Educational Association was asking for $560 in keeping with the Minimum Foundation pro- gram set up in the state in 1947. According to Cecil G. Costin, Jr., Representative from Gulf County the House of Representatives re- ceived the bill last week and by force of resolutions the amount of the raise was jacked up as high as $560 per year but lack of support killed the bills and gave.the nod of assent for the $350 raise. ICostin stated that he voted for the $560 raise which was defeated. According to Costin the request for the raise started at the $300 ,the Governor recommended and climbed steadily by resolutions un- til it reached the $560 mark. Cos- tin stated that each time a new and higher resolution was intro- duced he voted for it. According to the state record -... t ui-'. uts-Flornua iii- int [u.in ie top of the nation- in' pay 'and the state itself is 43rd in income. It will be noted that this $350 per year is for each teacher unit in the state. At present Gulf Coun- ty has 85 teacher units and are within their units allowed. If Gulf County had to employ more than 85 teachers then each teacher would not receive the full raisea:as set down by the Legislators.

Sunday saw a game here between Apalachicola and Port St. Joe. The game was clean, hard-fought and free from argument or strife. It was good clean fun and relaxation for most everyone concerned. Naturally, the baseball games are planned as a source of re- creation, relaxation and a thing of enjoyment. To enjoy something, one must like that activity and be in pleasant surroundings and conditions conducive to enjoyment. The game Sunday practically met all these requirements. We say practically, because it was lacking in complete fulfillment of the needs of recreation. The weather was fine. The at- titude of the players and the audience was magnificent, and the game was an extra good one. The only thorn in the side of the ideal af- ternoon was one that happens at every gather- ing of this type, no matter what the day, occa- sion, or the time. We are referring to the few who came to the ball game drunk or became drunk during the course of the game. If a person wants to get drunk, that is his business but ,he should keep it strictly his business and not make it other people's busi- ness by appearing at public gatherings and annoying those around him; and whether he realizes it or not, a drunk is practically always annoying. We have nothing against those who want to take a drink or two before they come to the game or even after they get to the game if they feel they must take a drink. That is strictly their business. But, they can temper their thirst until they leave the gathering and afford peace of mind to their neighbors in the teacherss. There were not many there drunk, but those that were know who they are and we hope they take this friendly suggestion and try to stay sober at the other games if they insist on, coming to the games. Everyone will be hap- pier. PAGING HORATIO ALGER When Charles E. Wilson gave up his $600,- 000 a year job as president of General Motors to become Secretary of Defense, that great cor- poration selected one of its former stock boys, Harlow H. Curtice, to be its new president. How does a boy start at the bottom and land at the top these days? Here is Mr. Curtice's formula: "Do it the hard way! Think ahead of your job. Then nothing in the world can keep the job ahead from reaching out for you. Do it better than it need be done. Next time doing it well will be child's play. Let no one or any- thing stand between you and the difficult task. Let nothing deny you this rich chance to gain strength by adversity, confidence by mastery, success by deserving it. Do it better each time. Do it better than anyone else can do it. I know this sounds old-fashioned. It is, but it has built the world!"

RAMSEY About a year or two ago the Ki- wanis Club here started construc- tion of a tennis court. At present the court is a little over half tin ished. At any rate, our attention was called to an article appearing on the sport page of the Florida Times Union extolling the virtues of a good game. of tennis and im- mediately brought this project of the Kiwanians to mind. We would like to reprint the article below as it was written: "Tennis is a game that knows no age limits. Any youngster can learn to play this stimulating and excit- ing sport that need not' end when he finishes high school or college, such as is the case of the many large team sports like football, baseball and basketball. Tennis is also a sport that does not require expensive playing -equipment or large and costly play- ing grounds. Neither does a tennis match take all day to play. No large groups are necessary. You need only one other person besides yourself, but as many as four can play on a court at one time. Tennis is particularly valuable as a game which children can play after school, on week ends and During summer vacation wlhn they would otherwise be looking around for something to do. A tennis court is one of the most effective compe- titors of the street corner and pool room. It is the only sport organized and played universally and it forms a friendly bond between all who play it. It is not necessary'to bean .expert player to enjoy the game. It affords a wonderful' opportunity to combine healthful exercise ana4 recreation with creation of friend- ships.

CROSS COUNTRY CATER with Mac White I was on a peddle run the other day that took me from Jacksonville to my terminal at Immokalee. I had to make some truck detours over roads that I'm ashamed to admit exist in Florida. "It's a darned shame," I told my wife, Mary, when I got home, "that the money Flor- ida's motorists and the truck- ing industry pay out in taxes isn't invested in more and bet- ter highways." "Take it easy," Mary said, "you're a truck driver-not a politician." 3"That I know," I said. "But did you ever stop to think that taxes levied on motor vehicles in Florida during 1952 totaled nearly $26,000,000. The truck- ing industry alone paid nearly $7,000,000 just for registration fees and license tags. Yet of that nearly $26,000,000, only about $405,000 was earmarked for public roads." "Watch your blood pressure, Mac," Mary said. "Twenty-four of our 48 states have anti-tax-diversion consti- tutional amendments," I said. "Eight other states are pre- paring to pass such amend- ,ments. But not Florida. It just Doesn't make sense." "Shall I get you a soap box?" Mary asked. "Nope," I said, "but just re- member those figures-nearly $26,000,000 collected in 1952 from Florida's car and truck owners and only $405,000 ear- marked for public roads. It's a mighty sorry situation." $1.00 DOWN ITEMSI 9 x 12 LINOLEUM RUGS $7.95 $9.95 $12.95 5-Piece DINETTE SUITES $49.50 Ja'" IFlk L ira Ltd?

PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA _. .. QMAV A I A-/n in--irte ( eAUM y EGS Bean plants shown are mulched and lettuce has been cultivated. Both methods keep weeds down, but mulch preserves moisture better; Miulch vs. Hoe Frequent Topic of Garden Debates Old-time gardeners taught that the deeper the soil was stirred in cultivation, the better it was for the plants. Many moderns take exactly the opposite view and say that any stirring of the .soil is harmful to near-by growing plants. It is difficult to persuade an experienced gardener that -his plants are not benefitted by stir- ring the soil surface, however; and even extremists concede that it kills weeds. It also breaks the crust on the soil surface, and al- lows both air and water to enter. But there is no need to stir the soil deeper than an inch for these purposes. The muscular effort required to cultivate to this depth is ino greater than sweeping the floor; and even less if the hoe blade is kept sharp and used as a cutting instrument to shave the soil sur- face. r) As soon as your seeds have sprouted, s9 you know where they are, begin regular shallow culti- vation, especially after every rain: and no weed will grow in your garden. Easy strokes of the hoe will turn up the white sprouts of weed seed before they have reached the surface. Only in the rows between the seedlings will you have to pull up weeds; and this is-usually done when the roaws are thinned out. SAs your plants grow, their roots .i:i ,extend close to the surface, a:- c-re should be taken not to !. 1'. :_ to disturb them; lest more harm than good result. After plants have passed the seedling stage, and thinning out is completed, cultivation can oe avoided by covering the soil with a mulch. Many materials have been used for this cover, includ- ing boards, stones, asphalted pa- per, newspaper, lawn clippings, straw, leaves, ground-up corn- cobs and sawdust. - One of the best of these mate- rials is lawn clippings, if they are dried first in the sun. To pre- vent them heating, they should be spread out thinly, or tossed frequently with a pitch fork to air and dry them. A thin layer of dry clippings should be worked into the soil, after it has been thoroughly watered. Dry clip- pings can be piled on this first layer to a depth of several inches. Tomato plants especially will benefit from a mulch. Grass keeps the surface of the soil in -excellent condition to ad- mit both water and air, both of which are necessary to plant roots. A grass mulch, preferably of an annual grass which will die in the winter, and which does not spread or seed objectionably, can be used to advantage in a rose garden, or between tall growing vegetables. P Lazy gardeners may get com- fort from these newly discovered facts about plant growth. Re- search workers have taken most of the muscle but of gardening, but they have increased the need for knowledge and skill. Week End Guests The problem of turbulent motion Mrs. W. D.
