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- THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA 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".

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. County Commissioner George' Cooper and J. B. Harris hailed me the -other day in front of the Wewa postoffice about noon "Thee'z. a place to eat!" whonped J. B. as he and Cooper crossed the street "Sure." I said, "drive out to Stardust Lodge when you're thru with your business at the bank" . But they said they didn't have the time Don't know what they missed Fried bream and shell- crackers. hushpuppies, fresh corn on the .cob, candied sweet potatoes. potato salad and wild blackberry jelly. Since I've been named honorary mayor of Buckhorn, succeeding the late Bud Brockett, there has been quite.;an inifliv of new settlers . in fact, it is getting to be a regular metropolitan area right here around Stardust Lodge with two new 'dwel- lings erected since completion of Stardust 'and two more .nifty con- crete block residences well on to- ward completion Probably at THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1953 the next official election we'll have a new maybr of Buckhorn.

We started out with one quart of water per boy, and were told to use its conserva- tively as there was no water avail- able on the hike. We got so thirsty on the hike that we were offering the boys that had used their water .wisely, fifty cents a drink. These boys would not sell, at any price.

JOE, GULP COUW7t, rLcRIDA THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1953 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 parents ,with fi- ',.!i.-! f yearr olds. Should you i :r.i :ui, mis's the opening of this term, tell him )that he will grow a little bigger, be able to get along better, and will learn a little faster when the next term hgeins. In the meantime, see that the child spends a profit- able, happy year at home. In the majority of cases, the child who' is aix and over is better equipped to do well in school than the just six iand under. Marion L. Van Horn Is Released From Hospiatl FT.

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.

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. ---- ----- Corn Cure?

( -- Gulf One of 6 Counties With No Traffic Deaths TALLAHASSEE- Only six of Florida's 67 counties went by hte first half of this year without a traffic accident death, a 33 per cent decrease compared with nine which recorded no deaths in the first six months of last year.

Kirkman commended the offi- cials and motorists of the counties 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- ,mize a bleak fatality picture," said Kirkman, "that makes it even more gratifying when counties in Flor- ida get by without a traffic death in the face *of the ever increasing volume of traffic and the uncalled for rise in traffic deaths."
