En- gineers are now completing a survey here and an official announcement::on how soon we may expect this new water will be carried in next week's issue of The Star. If the Mayor and the'one' commissioner get beat, we can think of no better way for them to leave their offices than with the accomplish- ments that have been nIade in the past year or so. -We feel that eve, tieir oppo ents will con- gratulate them on a job well done, whether they win the electionI.ornot. A VOTE FOR 'I'PROGRESS" There are two questions coming up in the forthcoming election that we feel are as impor- tant as the selection of 'the candidates in qes- tion. The most important of the two questions S to be voted on by the peoplee: in our opinion,lis Sthe setting aside of certain funds by the Com- mission to obtain land and create a cemetery for Sthe city and to. provide for the maintenance of the cemetery through the years to come. r The City Commission is asking that you.al- Slow them to set aside' 12,000 as a start toward thts project. t This money will be set aside for Sthe purpose of securirlu property, creating and maintaining a cemetery. The moving of the funds frbm tbe General ,Fuind will in no way af- fect the services i n,. -ii,.g offered by'the city. e We hope you will agree that the City of 5 '. ].Je has.beeni existence too long with- out the use of its own cemetery. The other question that you the citizens will .be voting on is the setting aside of certain funds So create and maintain a city park. The proper- ty on either side of the canalrunning from' Fifth' Street to 16th S ....: his been deeded to the City for some time to use in this manner. Wee feel that this would be a great step for- ward in the beautification of our city and that the project, when completed wquld, offer many ..hours of enjoyment for both young; ~ dold pnd offer a beautiful attraction fo"r our city.

We hope to make this a weekly column and with football season only two weeks off, we should have plenty of sports news for you. First, we'd like to say "congratts" to Dewey Phillips. who was Rec- reition Director this lumtnier. We. a- ,veli as many other citizens c. P-ortS;t. Joe, feel that he did moire ti.-:n just a good job--he did an exx- cellent job with the youngsters. We hope that the city will make this an every-summer project, be- caoise these kids really enjoy it :and it does wonders for combat- ing the juvenile delinquency prob- lem. Our hat's off to you, Mr. Phil- lips. St. Joe, as well as the other ci- ties comprising the Gulf Coast league, seems to have lost all in- terest in baseball. We can't believe RIGHT OUT'OF THE PAGES O)r AMERICA'S LEADING FASHION MAGAZINES tft it's just St. Joe because the otir towns have shown no interest at (11. They seem to'have the at- tituk that if they cai.t winlall the. timelthey just won't play. Nobody likes o lose, but everybody ,can't win.

Coci ;., Craig h'a 12 ,iettermen.i :,. : losing. Onlyv' 4 via the graduation al..,ineligibiii- ty routes. Nevertheless he Sharks face the toughest schedua in many years. Five of the games\are with Northwest 'Florida Confere\ ce. fo'es -Marianna, Walton, Grceville Bonifay, and Quincy-in that'order, and every 'team is a powerhouse: Last year St. Joe had a good chance of winning the Conference Championship, but, unfortunately, they'didn't have enough conference games scheduled. But Craig has eliminated'the reoccurrance 'of this by lining up these five teams. The Sharks donned their pad-s' and helmets Monday and are get- ting down to serious work, with their first game with Carrabelle only two weeks of-. The team is looking good with Quarterback Joe' Ad-ams's chunkin'-arm in good con- dition and Ends Benny Roberts and Ronnie Chism's pass-catching abili- ty in top form. But we believe 'that. Craig's secret pride is Tackle Rob- ert Walters.--Walters literally out- hustles every man on the team and is a superb down-field 'blocker. Keep your eyes on this Waiters kid because we really believe he's goiig places this year. Coach Craig has two able volun- teer assistants 'this year in Harry Douglas and Donald Linton. Harry Douglas formerly played football for the University of the South in Sewanee and, of course, we a;i know'that Donald Linton is an ex- Shark Star, later playing for FIor- .da State University where he is attending college. It seems a shams that Craig has to depend on volun eers for assistance, while thc school should hire an assistant coach to help him. Nevertheless. these two men are doing a fine job and we know that Craig and the eam more than appreciate their ef- orts. * Due to: the fact that we have been away from the sports cycle for two years, we do not know the virtues of all the players-all we know is what we'have seen at the Brfig in your entire family's shoes for all needed repairs Free Inpect on For 4 CONDIIO 4I cesscs Ok'ed &y thb Minx Modes Board of Review Sizes 9 to 15 Priced From $13.95' to $23.95 THE LEADER SHOE SHOP Ij L.

Some folks watch sgns along the highway in an attempt to com- plete the alphabet; starting with the letter "A" they then look for "B, C, D" and so on and the first person to complete the alphabet is the winner. Others watch license tag num- bers and try to make poker hands or try to see how many different state licenses they can record. Some folks make a note of the number of vehicles they pass over a given distance or period of ime. Now comes A. E. Barit, president of the Hudson Motor Car Company, with the suggestion that motorists can indulge in another game that would be more constructive and might help to impress on passen- gers the importance of safety and lead to better motoring and safer travel for everyone. His company has devised a cle-, ver "Safe Driving Check List" co- pies of which will soon be avail- able at all Hudson' dealers. This chart, with blank 'spaces for pen- cil notations, lists all of the more common driving offenses that en- danger highway travel and lead to accidents. Over the years there has been a lot of argument over the ques- tion of who are the safest drivers., men or women, and what about teen agers. By using the Hudson chart and playing it like a game, you will get a definite answer to ,- rs" rtese questions and also be impres- chnnren were aimicii 5Leat of Sing Ol your 0 bcousiouo i ndi llr-.

YFLORIDA t4Url~tOAV,.'SEPTthlfBaPt 3,* 1951' I mffml drivers. Among these driving offenses are: exceeding the speed limit, passing on the right, passing on a hill or curve, passing on a shoulder, following too close, failing to stop for school bus, weaving in and out of traffic, riding the center line, crossing center line where prohib- ited, making turns from wrong lane, parking in prohibited area's, trying to beat the red light, enter- ing or leaving car from wrong side, failing to signal properly and ignor- ing traffic signs and warnings. Barit suggests that instead of counting letters or checking licea- ses to occupy our itme while mo- toring, that we make a game out of noting driving offenses. He par- ticularly advocates this as a game for children as it will-not oxly prove a source of entertainment but will impress on their young minds the importance of observing traffic laws and acquaint them with the principles of safe driving. Recently ,Hudson sponsored a non-stop run from New York to San Francisco, sending a couple of personable young women on the cross-country journey, instructed to be' careful and observe every traffic regulation and use the check list in noting driving offenses of other motorists enroute. Proving that speed isn't too im- portant, they made the trip in three days, eight hours and 15 min- utes, never driving over 60 miles an hour in daylight or more than 50 miles an hour at night, and at the same time carefully observing every traffic regulations. Arriving at Los Angeles, the lo- cal Safety Council arranged for a competitive drive from the airport to the City Hall. The women driv- ers obeyed all speed regulations and traffic rules while their op- ponent broke as many as he could, running lights, cutting in ahead of other- cars and attempting to make time. The reckless driver won, but the difference in time was only one and one-half minutes. Leal'n and observe traffic reigu- . lations; teach your children to do- so and you will avoid heartaches.
