.many causes: A'common' cause for
retarded child is a plurality of min-
or troubles in' his pre-school life
'that have.lowered his state of bod-
ily vitality. 'His general debility
pmay be due to post-natal and' en-
vironmental conditions. Hearing
and vision are often found to be
.the cause of retarded progress in
the child's development. Emotional
and temperamental difficulties of-
ten retard the growth of the child.
The power and span of attention in-
creases or retards the educational
growth of the child. Activities of
greater meaning and purpose will
,add to his growth. A child learns
Sgrom and by experience. He has


ty, and rest. He also. needs to have
a feeling of belonging and of af-
fection. He requires opportunities
for increasing self-direction and
learning to manage affairs more
adequately.
Every school has a group of
children that needs individual in-
struction. With a small group
much progress, can be made by co-
ordinating the. hand and the eye
with learning processes. With
fewer children in the group more
attention can be given to emotion-
al problems.
The State Office of Special In-
struction has mapped out a pro-
gram to aid the teacher in this
specialized service. This program

Judith Mahon Talks On
Americanism To Rotary

The Rotary Club of Port St. Joe
received an unusual treat at their
regular meeting last Thursday noon
when Miss Judith Mahon, a dele-
gate from Port St. Joe to recent
Girl's State activities held in Tal-
lahassee gave an address on what
the Girls' State activities meant to
her. Miss Mahon recently won an
award at the American Legion Dis-
trict Auxiliary Convention held in
Marianna for her address on this
same subject.
Miss Mahon pointed out that the
youth of today had a full concep-
tion of the'meaning of the Consti-
tutioti and the importance of good
government and through the ef-
forts of civic organizations to more
thoroughly familiarize them with
these phases of living in our coun-
try, they felt that they could car-
ry on and help strengthen the
ideas that make our country the
great nation it is today.

Who's Gonna Turn On The Lights?
Ever since about the year 1937 the Port
St. Joe high school has fielded a football team.
At times the team has been a little weak but
for the most part they have fielded a fair to good
team. Last year saw one of the finest teams
ever produced here take the field and Coach
Craig has hopes for an even stronger team this
year. But the team still has no place to play.
They DO have a first class field sodded with
free labor and built at no cost to the taxpayers
except for the limited use of a county grader
and trucks to haul and spread dirt on the field
which is now being constructed on the east side
of the high school. The field has been con-
structed by a group of citizens calling them-
selves the "Shark Boosters".
This free labor has done a magnificent job
as a look at their efforts will fully testify. The


field is completely covered with a thick turf and
is still being cultivated to become even thicker
and more hardy. But there are no lights on the
field.
Now let's stop and look at this situation a
little. St. Joe has fielded a team ever since 1937
or thereabouts. That makes at least 26 years
of football competition. Twenty-six years and
not a permanent well lighted (but now sodded)
field to call the local football stadium. There
are a host of towns near Port St. Joe that are
much smaller than ours but have first-class foot-
ball stadiums with lights, bleachers and well-
sodded grounds.
You can well imagine their derisive think-
ing when they think of the sandy field that the
local eleven plays on. You can imagine their
taunts at our team when they journey to other
towns and play on immaculate diamonds with
all the conviences not found at home.
Without even thinking of the comfort of,
our' players and the increased enjoyment that
would be derived from a well-appointed sta-1
dium, Port St. Joe has a reputation to keep up'
and we will not keep it up with the football
crowd until some arrangements are made to
place lights and bleachers at the new field that
has been constructed only after much hard work
'n the part of several private citizens.
Why not make a small suggestion to your
school board and see if we can't secure these
things for our local diamond. Possibly it won't
be completed this year but there is another year
next year, and we are definitely not leaving, out b
the fact that the project COULD be finished for 1
use at least during the last half of the season. i

f "fat, sassy fish".

We felt good this past week end
because several people congratu-
ated us on. our last week's editor-
al. We thank you folks for the
ind words.

Now this is what we call the
ight temperature, (Monday and
'uesday). If we knew where the


temperature stayed just as it b.
been here fbr these two days ;-. '
would waste no time going there.
We are just not a hot weather ani-
mal (human?) so we necessarily
like the cooler weather, being the
only weather left to like after you
remove the hot weather. Makes us
even feel like working. Can't ima-
gine anything like that.

Have you registered to vote for
the coming city election.


ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

We have never seen the likes of
folks going on vacation.
Guess we'll,have to get in the
style and take a vacation too. We
have allowed ourselves two weeks
vacation for this summer and have
taken up a week of it by taking a
day at a time each Sunday. That
leaves a week to go and we just
don't know if we are going to get
that second week used up before
winter or not.
Several people have told us. o
taking two or three days off and.
making a swing down the west
coast of Florida and coming back
up the East coast and stopping to
see important sight seeing attrac-
tions along the way,,such as Bok
Tower, Marineland, Silver Springs,
Stephen Foster Memorial, St. Au-
gustine and other points of attrac.
tion. The more we think of this,
the more we think we'll save our
pennies and take the same trip
one week end before too long. We
have lived in Florida off and on
since 1940 and have never been
any farther south than Crawford-
ville and no farther east than Tal-
lahassee. Why, would you believe
it, we have never even been to Oy-
erstreet? We're just going to take a
trip over, to that city and take a
gander at it.

We see in the "Staiduster" col-
umn where ex-editor. Bill is taking
,a little jaunt over the country. You
get these old editors out of har-
ness and they just go plumb crazy
traveling around and seeing things.
It's understandable though, as an
editor can't call his time his own
from Monday morning until the pa-
per is out.

We see where Wallace Findlay
up in Blountstown has defied tra-
dition and is. also taking a vacation.

Then there is Joe Malpas down
in Crawfordville who goes on a
week end vacation every time the
fish: are biting, and if they aren't
,biting he tries to make them bite.

from bringing in job printing when

TOO LATE

TO CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY


A few weeks ago I wrote in this
column of the Miaini family who
was trying to work out an exchange
agreement so that they could send
their three children to the country
for a vacation and in return enter-
tain the children of some rural
family at their home in Miami.
I am in receipt of an interesting
letter from this family and it is
gratifying to learn that they were
successful in working out such an
exchange and giving details as to
how it panned out.
Amnong the several exchange of-
fers they received in response to
the publicity given in the news-
papers they found one from a farm
family located in Keuka, Putnam
County. the most inviting.
July 26, the Singletons of Miami
packed their children in the family
car and drove them to the Kline
Farm where they were made wel-
come and had the time of their
lives. They found feeding the chick-
ens, hunting for eggs, watering the
horses and slopping the hogs a
thrilling experience.
Together with the four Kline
children they went on hayrides, vis-
ited the old swimming hole, enjoy-
ed picnics and weiner roasts, gain-
ed first hand knowledge of such
feathered .and furry creatures as
quail, doves, squirrels, hoot owls
and other forms of wild life sel-
dom encountered in the neighbor-
hood of hot city pavements.


I


A week later the Singletons re-
turned to pick up their children
as well as the four Kline young-
sters and drove them to Miami,
stopping on the way at Silver
Springs and Bok Tower, which none
of the children had seen. It was
an experience they will long re-
member.
Because of the publicity the "ex-
change plan" had received, Miami
folks were interested and volun-
teered to help the Singletons en-
tertain th eir country friends.
County Commissioners provided
them with a free cabana at Cran-
don Park and free rides on all the
amusement devices topped off with
a picnic lunch and Coca-Colas.
The Miiami I)aily News invited
them to tour their newspaper
plant, and bug-eyed youngsters :ot
a terrific bang out of watching ;he I
busy news room and seeing the fi-
nal edition run off on the giant
presses. The ele-ator' ride Lo :ihe
16th floor of the News Tower and
the'view of the Magic City was as
thrilling to the country children as
was feeding the chickens and slop-
ping the hogs to their ,i .y cousins.
Captain H. A. Donovan of the P
& O SS Florida welcomed the op-
portunity to show the youngsters
over his ship. He tok them from
engine room to bridge and explain-
ed in language they could under-
stand the operations of the vessel.
The manager of the O ympia The-
atre had the children as his guess
for a feature pictaac and .5-act
stage show. It was the first time
any of the children ever saw a
stage show and they are still talk-
ing about it.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE
By Col. W. S. Smith, Retired.
Mayor of Buckhorn

We left the "hog and hominy"
country Saturday morning after
spending three days with the Doc
Coody's-Some of Myrtice's thou-
sand and one relatives And as
usual, we ate high on the hog-and
me on a diet. Started out from
Stardust Lodge weighing in at 189
and, while I haven't weighed, bet
I've picked up at least four pounds
in those three days.
We spent Saturday in Cedartown,
Ga., with George and Frankie Col-
bert, former residents of .St. Joe,
where George worked for the Apa-
lachicola Northern Railroad: ..
And they, too, insisted on filling us
up to the neck'with good food.
Had intended to stop in Rome to
see exAPostmaster Henry and Min-
nie Ola Drake, but they had gone
skyhootin' off to Atlanta on unim-
portant ,business so we missed
em, much to our regret.
The Col erts have one of the
coziest and most delightful homes
it has been my pleasure to see in
years. It is located on a slight slope
that is literally covered with huge
boulders and stone outcropping
and peppered with ancient trees .
. I can't begin to tell what
George has done in the way of beau-
tifying his property with this field
stone-It just has to be seen.
We're heading for Ohattanooga
on 'Sunday and will take in Rock
City and Ruby Falls Froin
there we go to Nashville and oth-
er points and will cross the Mississ-
ippi at Paducah, Ky., giving Myr-
tice her first glimpse of the "Fath-
er of Waters".
Be in St. Louis next Friday,

It was hard for me to picture her

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


Henry Dandridge and Mr. and
Mrs. McGill are among the fisher-
men who caught fish this week.
Fishing as a whole has been good
at all places but due to rain and
bad roads to the fishing grounds.
Fishermen 'have been some what
discouraged.. However, we hope
that they will soon be able to reach
their favorite fishing hole soon.
,T Ick l(-:-re and son. Vaughn
Moore and Fain Roberts, Jr., of
Cohlumbus, Ga.. were here three
days this week fishing. They had
an unusual outfit. They launched a
20-ft. cabin boat made of fiberglass
from a trailer and propelled the
boat with a 25 hp. Johnsbn motor.
It accommodates four people.
Joe Bracewell and family got 60
frogs and 35 big bream on the Flor-
ida River last week.
------ --_-
Tree frogs are heard most often
during damp weather and just be-
fore storms.
