JUVENILE DELINQUENCY or
PARENT DELINQUENCY

Here of late the local police have been bo-
thered with a rash of juvenile delinquency (or
parent delinquency). Several times during the
past six months the police have picked up teen-
age boys for small 'crimes, but nevertheless,
crimes. The boys have been sent to the juvenile
court in Wl ewahitchka and through the interven-
tion of parents or other persons, ninty-nine per
cent of the boys have come out of the court
scot-free, or at most under a parole that is not
enforced.
We wonder if this is the best thing for the
boys involved or should they be sent to the In-


ETAOIN SHRDLU

by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

Gannon Buzzett is a boon to diet-
ing mankind. After reading of our
plight with the unsweetened cer-
eal last week he thoughtfully brot
us .a bottle of something or other
that/we can sprinkle on-our cereal
and make it taste sweet. Not only
that he told us of a solution he
peddles across his'drug store coun-
te&'t'hat we can make puddings out
of and never a lose a wink of sleep
worrying about the pounds creep-
ing up on us for satisfying our
sweet tooth. Yes sir, Gannon came
charging 'up in his, shiny black '40
Tord (in lieu of a stamping. snort-
ing charger) and saved the day for
ris. From us and all dieting man-
kind, we give Gannon pur undying
gratitude.

Several people have asked us in
the past few days if there isn't
something. that can be done about
the condition of the city water.
First off let us say that the wa-
ter i's not unpure. The summer rate
of water consumption is great-
er than the output from the good
wells that the city has down and
on occasion it is necessary to pump
Sfromi an auxiliary well which puts
out sulphur water,
That black in the water is noth-
ing more than sulphur. The fact
that it is pure still does not detract
from the fact that the water is un-
tasteful and has a disheartening
effect on clothes and people when
a .washing of same is attempted.
Now comes the solution. The city
under the present administration
-has been taking steps for the past
year to supply a plentiful supply of
elear pure water for the city. The
project is now practically com-
pleted as far as making plans, is
concerned and the actual construc-
tion of a purifying plant will start
tn the very near future.
The city is now completing plans
to buy water from the St. Joe Pa-
-per Company to be supplied out of
their canal bringing water from the
Chipola River. This water is about
94 per cent pure already. The city
is going to erect a treatment plant
to filter the water through and are
making plans and conducting sur-
veys throughout the city to assure
am adequate water supply for Port
St. Joe in years to come and are
.planning to allow for any expan-

dustrial School for a short while? Most of the
boys sent to the court are two and three time of-
fenders. The boys are becoming hardened cri-
minals. Now don't laugh. We have observed
this. There are a few boys in town who keep
getting into trouble and committing pettit
crimes. The police have caught them time af-
ter time and sent them up to the juvenile court,
only to be turned loose. As a consequence, the
boys are now getting the idea that they can do
anything they please and the police or nobody
else can do a thing about it but just talk to them.
This is an unhealthy attitude. We believe the
teen-agers should be talked to severely and repri-
manded and made to toe the line' at home after
the first offense. If the act is repeated, how-
ever, the boys should be shown that society will
not put up with such actions. It's a hard thing
to suggest that a young boy be sent' up for, a
crime, yet how else are you going to nip a cri-
minal career in the bud. A closer supervision
by parents would also aid in seeing that these
a-nd other boys go in the right direction.


ARE YOU REGISTERED?

September 5 is the date for the coming city
election. There are now 859 registered voters in
the city. A mayor and two councilmen will be
elected by the citizens of Port St.- Joe. If the
candidate you like is not elected and you do not
register to vote, don't blame anyone but your-
self. lReister and vote at the coming election
so that we may have a city government that
represents the choice of the majority.


sion that might come our way. So,
Mr. and Mrs. Citizen, just be pa-
tient and bear in mind that per.
manent corrective measures are
not accomplished in a day and be-
fore you know it, we will have a
first rate supply of good, clear,
pure water and we can. kiss the
sulphur goodbye.

We are an ardent fan of 'Ham-
bone's Meditations" in the funny
paper and we saw one Wednesday
morning that we would like to pass
on, "It seems like too many peo-
,ple in the world follow the golden
rule and just forget all but the
first three words".
More truth than poetry isn't it?

80 cents a gallon. Our wife said:
"Why should I pay 80 cents a gal-
lon for 'em when I can pick 'em
myself?" So, early one morning
before I had even waked from the
arms of Morpheus, she donned her
jeans, grabbed a bucked and drove
off to the berrying site.
Along about 10 a.m. she hadn't
returned, and I began to" wonder-
,how far afield she had wandered
in search of the berries A
short time later tthe car drove in
and she came in with about two
gallons of berries.
"Took you that long to pick those
few berries?" I asked.
"Well. no," she 'hesitantly re-
plied. "I got stuck in- the sand. Mr.
and Mrs. Hanlon happened to drive
by on their way to Wewa and they
sent out a wrecker to pull out the
car. I didn't have,any money, so I
told the man I would stop by and
Spay him this afternoon."
We stopped by to pay the man.
and the bill was $5.00 Let's
see h-nnm two gallons of
berries at $2.56 per gallon .
That's rather expensive jelly she
put up Really a bit too rich for
my blood.

the -other day in front of the Wewa

I been reading about this- raising
the roof-the U.S.A. debt roof. We
will soon be over a barrel-can't
stop spending-gotta .have a taller
roof to house our debt-Go.vt. Debt
you understand. And as of today no
nation in,the world can hold a can-
die to us for debt. Debt is our. hob-
by-nobody is going to surpass us
if'we can help it-not on your tin-
type.
Now if I was a Joe Miller.of a
PhD joke ,professor I would say the,
person to begin raising' the roof
would be us suckers who have stood
around on one foot or t th.other and
watched the roof cave in on our
balance down at the one and sure
place where our dinero is still safe
but dindlinlig-the Bank. That
woulr: bhe pretty good, says Henry
-but where is the joke, my balance
has already flew the coop. Alright,
I says. I will start all over again.
If your balance has disappeared up
Salt Crick-and you still don't
savvy-that the roof has. caved in,
I am .wasting my time. Well thank
you, says Henry, that's different-
but who's roof was it. What a guy,
that Henry. ,
Spending has become chronic--
that is why people call Washington,

Somebody is gonna raise the roof

Don't Start Child To
School 'Til He's Six,
Grade Teachers Ask
School opens soon. and many
,parents are concerned about the
readiness of thei rsix-year-olds for
the long looked-for occasion. Oth-
ers with fice-and-a-half year olds
will be checking the possibility of
these ,entering the first grade.
When the birthday is near hte
dividing line (and a child must be
isix by January 1. 1954, by state
law), it may see n.to the parent a
disadvantage for their child to have
ito wait another year before en-
Itering school, but quite the con-
trary is actually true.
Studies along that line conduct-
ed in the Port St. Joe Elementary
School indicate that getting a child
in school before the specified age
has no advantage and may be a
definite hindrance.
These studies show that a child
'who does not have. the necessary
physical and mental growth before
he enters a specific school grade
will certainly suffer. He will be
unable to do things which others
'do with ease. Th teacher will note
his immaturity and can send home
only disappointing reports. This:oc-
currance usually prompts the par-
'ents to force learning on the un-
tready youngster a procedure.
whichh can only end in further frus-
tration for the child.
This is:a good time to recall that
all teaching is not done in school.
Much''can and should be done at
'iome. If 'parents teach their chil-
idren clean ,habits, good manners,
anrd require them' t'p listen' and fol-
low. directions, theq mature child
will find 'school a happy and pro-
litable experience.
The Port' St. Joe Elementary
School offers ,these suggestions to

Weekly Newspaper Editors Writing

Editorials Over Average Reader Level


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -Weekly
newspaper editors are writing, gen-
erally, editorials that are too diffi-
cult for their readers to under-
stand.
A study of 20 Florida weekly
'newspapers at Florida State Uni-
versity school of journalism re-
vealed that 17 of the newspapers
carried editorials that, on the av-
erage, could be understood by less
than half of the adult population
in the county where the paper was
,published.
,The study'was made by Miss Ruth
Peeling, graduate student in jour-
nalism, in partial fulfillment of re-
quirements for her master's de-'
,gree.
The 20 papers were analyzed ov-
er a. period of one month, March
1953. A total of 212 editorials were
rated according to "readability".
This was done statisfictlly by us-
ing a mathematical formula. Com-
parison of the "grade level" at
which the editorials were written,
with the median education level
in the county where the paper was
published, made it possible to de-
termine whether the editors were
writing editorials, that people
could understand.
The study was undertaken in an
attemDt to find outt why editorials
are not more popular with read-
ers. It was based on the readabili-,
ty formula developed by Dr. Rudolf
Flesch, outstanding authority in
the readability field.
As a result of the study, Miss
Peeling'says that editors can make


their editorials more "readable"
and thereby more popular by aim-
ing them at the type of audience
who will read them. The editor
should be familiar with the median
education level in his county and
not write "above the heads" of 'his
readers.
He should use short sentences
and the simple rather than the
complex word. The writer'"hould
further help the reader by telling
,him what is irnportan't to re&nem-
ber, prepare him for what he is
going to read, and summarize for
him what he had read. Non-essen-
tials should be cut out of editorials,
facts should be arranged for em-
'phasis and punctuation should help
speed up reading as well as clarigy
meaning of words and sentences.
NWriting about people and using
concrete illustration always makes
'for more interesting reading than
writing in abstract terms, accord-
ing to readability rules. This should
be applied, in writing editorials,
states Miss Peeling.
After graduation Aug. 8, Miss
Peelin will return to the editorial
sitaTi of The News-Times, More-
head City, 'N. C.

Cranberry Jelly
One of the natural characteristics
of cranberry jelly and other tart
fiuit jelly is to "weep" after the
mold is cut. To prevent this, place
cranberry jelly in. smaller molds
so that all of it will. be used up at
one meal. Then none will be left
to stand and "weep."

Bible Comment:

Religious or Racial

Prejudice Was Not

Frocticed by Jesus
7(I-TE of the most amazing and
revolting incidents of our
time is the spectacle of certain
people preaching and practicing
racial and religious prejudice in
tbic name of Christ. And much
of this prejudice has been di-
rected against Jews, of which
religion was Jesus himself, and
from whom we received not only
the riches of the Old Testament,
but the records of the New,' and
the church itself. :
When Paul spoke of the Gos-
pel of Christ, he emphasized its
universality. His mission 'and
ministry, he insisted, were to
Gentiles as well as to those of
his own religion.
Was Paul a true interpreter of
his Master? Or did Jesus in any'
way limit His mission, or the
benefits and privileges of the
grace of God?
There are one or two in-
cidents that, viewed lightly or
thoughtlessly, might indicate
that..But the whole story of
Jesus, the revelation of His
spirit and the general-records of
the four Gospels, are so much
-against any such interpretation,.
that these incidents must be seen
in the light of the full evidence.
One of the most puzzling inci-
dents is that of Jesus and the
Syrophenician woman. This
troubled Grecian woman had
brought her demented daughter
to Jesuc, beseeching Him to heal
her.
v'.'r:ently to test her faith He
-...pft in her way stumbling blocks
that seemed harsh and even
cruel. Voicing the common re-
ligious and racial prejudice, He
raid, in effect, "Do you ask this
of Me, a Jew? It is not meet to
take the children's bread and
give it unto dogs."
But He was' voicing, not His
own thought, but the sort' of
i.ng' that racial and religious
prejudice thinks and says, for He
was about to bless the woman
and her daughter. And He drew
from the woman the reply that.
pilcsed -Hir. 'Dogs must be fed.
.::-.an need transcends preju-
dices.

"Horse Cocktails" Gone
Ailing horses often used to get a
kick out of life, before modern
science came algng with fancy pill
and wonder-working drugs. Some
veterinarians of the horse-and-
buggy day s considered "rum,
whiskey, brandy, gin, port, sherry,
claret, champagne, stout, ale, and
lager beer as particularly useful in
aiding the recovery of sick horses."
,,.Today, penicillin, sulfa drugs, and
vitamin-mineral tonics have largely
replaced the cocktail hour for
equine patients.

Kirkman commended the offi-

in which there wer eno deaths:
"It takes the effort of all of us
in these times of mounting traffic
mishaps on our'Ahighways to mini-

Kirkman, "that makes it even more
gratifying when counties in Flor-
