Pete gently laid him out in his brand new ambulance (which he says will be all his in just 24 more months) and rushed him and the others to the hospital. The doctors had not, yet arrived and Pete asked the orderly to take the darkv iatp.. the emergency room and remove his clothes to inspector a bad hemorrhage. This was-done and the cause for "excessive" bleed- ing was found. The darky had a bottle of syrup in his hip pock- et. When the crash occurred it had broken and cut the darky just enough to mix enough blood with the syrup to.give it color. Joe Sharit is sad.

KEELS A nation may boast of its untold wealth in lands and gold; it may sing of its conquests and victories; it may pride itself in its great govern- ment, marvelous inventions, diplomatic relations, its unconquerable army and navy, but with all its material store of wealth and influence, its greatest possessions are the boys and girls who live within its boundaries. How very important that these boys and girl shall be properly prepared for the respon- sibilities of good citizenship. But how often many of them fail to reach this position, and come to be liabilities instead of assets. Our nation should be much disturbed by the lawless condition that is sweeping our entire country. It seems as if law and order have given way to crime, A distressing thing about it is that multitudes of boys and girls of adolescent age, and even of junior age, by some means, have been initiated into the order which is responsible for this crime wave. But who is responsible for this failure? Cer- tainly not the boys and girls. There are many forces and influences that contribute to the making of a delinquent boy or girl. I mention a few of these. The home. It is the responsibility of the home to supply the needs of -the children, and to properly prepare them for life. But there are far too many homes in which both parents are away, a work all day. This not only robs the children of the close parent-child relation- ship that is so greatly needed, but it also en- courages the children to spend their leisure time away from home, and they soon get in with the wrong crowd and form the wrong habits. Parents hold their children's lives in trust for the future, and therefore are responsible, to a large extent, for how they develop and come to success or failure. There are many homes where the parents are not Christians and give i;o thought or time to the Lord or the church. In such homes the children are not taught the true principles of right living, neither are they led to appreciate or profit from the church. Very often juvenile judges testify that the over- whelming majority of the boys and girls who come before them never attend any church services. Divorce contributes a strong influence to- ward juvenile delinquency. In these broken homes children are denied the love and pro- tection of parents, and often times are placed on the mercy of the public. The commercial moving picture show must also come in for its big share in creating a de- linquent condition. There so often scenes are flashed before the children's eyes that start many feet in the wrong direction. There little emphasis is placed on the true home. The sac- redness of marriage is destroyed, and divorce, drinking, gambling, immorality, and escaping the penalty of the law are all popularized. Day after day as boys and girls absorb such, they come to accept such conduct as being courageous and commendable, and begin to do likewise. Comic books, so often accepted as mere amusement, are planting many evil thoughts and creating many bad desires in the minds of the children. So often the trend tlhere is to do wrong and get by with it. Such impressions are sure to lead to wrong conduct. There are other things and influences that make their contributions toward leading the children in the wrong direction. Therefore, for the sake of these boys and girls, let us be con- cerned about any unwholesome influence and do anything within our power to remedy it. The greatest contribution we can make to humanity is to build into these boys and girls Christian principles and the art of clean living, that they may grow up to be a blessing to humanity and to themselves. Samuel Smiles said: "To be worth anything character must be capable of standing firm up- on its feet in the world of daily.work, tempta- tion and trial; and able to bear the wear and tear of actual life. Cloistered virtues do not count for much." the contest were the Maids of Hon- or which were: Etta'Martin, 6645; Peggy Chafin, 5449; Kate Tillman, 4534; and Willie Fay Mason, 1377.

JOE, GULF: COUliTY, FLORIDA FLORIDA MUST GO FORWARD We can not allow political gravy-train riders to continue plundering and sapping our economy if we are to stay abreast of needs and keep moving forward. We can not be detoured by the fear spreading of desperate politicians who, see',.g their machine swamped by more than 400,000 Odham-Collins votes in the first primary, are fabricating rumors, deceitful inferences and even bald lies to save their gravy-train. LET'S GET THINGS DONE We must consider our pressing needs for more schools, good highways, and beer State institutions to serve Florida's fast-growing population. Will these things be built by using millions of dollars to pay-off and enrich political pals? Or will they be more sure of early completion with the taxpayer's money invested honestly and wisely to the maximum benefit of the whole State? YOU HAVE THE ANSWER The answers to those questions are obvious, but do you know that you and other thinking, independent citizens like you hold the answers in their votes? But no matter what you think; if you don't vote, your thoughts don't count. Make your thinking count at the polls and urge your friends to go and vote to carry Florida Forward with Collins.

There are some who say that the subject is greatly exaggerated. They are of the opinion that there :s no more delinquency among the children and youth of our land than there has been in suc- ceeding generations. However, the records of the courts of our land wiP refute this opinion. We admit that our larger cities in which there are large slum areas have more than their right- ful share of crime among the children and youth. These areas seem to be natural breeding places of crime. All of our towns and communities, however, have this problem to a certain degree. We feel that our town of Port St. Joe is far above the average town in many ways. We have good schools and churches. We have been told on good authority that our town has the highest per capital income of any town or city in the state of Florida. And yet, we are not exempt from juvenile delinquency. Therefore, I want ,o mention some of the things that we can do as individuals and as a community to combat this condition. I bring to you first of all the importance of the home in the training of the child. A child that comes from a Christian-home stands a much better chance of making an upright, God-fear- ing citizen than the child that comes from a bro- ken or divided home. This is the opinion of the great majority of those who can be classed as experts on children and youth. It is natural for children to copy their parents. Delinquent par- ents are a forerunner of delinquent sons and daughters. The home is the place where the future pattern is set for the child. Parents should be firm but just in the discipline in the home. If a child is not controlled in the home he will not only be a source of grief to his parents in the future, but also to those who are in places of authority in the school and in the church. Let us strive to understand our children and see things from their point of view. Let us win their love and confidence. The average child thinks that mother and dad are the greatest people in the world. What are you doing to fulfill your responsibility to your children? Another factor that seems to be working wonders in the cure and prevention of juvenile delinquency is proper recreational facilities. In various cities of our land lawlessness among the children and youth hasbeen successfully com- batted by providing supervised recreation. In this way many of them are able to work off their excess energy and direct it into the proper chan- nels. I am afraid that in our town we are fall- ing down on the job, at least to a certain extent, in our failure to provide proper recreational facilities for our children and youth. It would enlighten all of us if we would go out some af- ternoon to our town's one tennis court and see the boys and girls waiting eagerly for their turn to play. Some of them stay for hours and never get to play. Finally, they trudge toward home with a disgusted and disappointed look on their faces. This happens over and over again. We need a minimum of four tennis courts in good condition. We need badminton, shuffleboard and various other clean games to help the young people work off their excess energy. Plans are being discussed at thepresent time in regard to building better recreational facilities for the children and youth of our town and surrounding communities. Let us all get behind these plans and work together to bring them to completion. Our churches of today can also play a great part in helping to shape the future lives of the younger generation. ost of our churches have Sunday school classes a'nd other organizations for all age groups. A child that has come in contact with religious teachings in the home and has been taught to love and reverence the Lord and His Church has a great advantage over the child that has come from a non-Christian home. I hope that none of our children have ever asked the question of one little girl. Her mother had never took her to church before. One Sunday when she took her little daughter to church, the daughter had a puzzled look on her face as the minister entered and took his seat. After the service she asked, "Mother, does the minister come down from heaven on each Sunday, and go back again each Sunday night?" We, as parents, should not send our children to the services of the church but we should go with them. Most of our church-goers of today are those who were taught to go to church as chil- dren. One of the prominent judges of our nation said that he had made a study of the life of many of those who had been' convicted in his court. He learned that a very small per- centage of them had ever gone to Sunday school and church regularly. Let us as parents, not only provide the ma- terial things of life for our children, but let us also provide for their spiritual, mental, and phy- sical welfare. Let us keep faith with then arid they will surely keep faith with us.L If we give them the proper love, care, and attention we will be proud of them in the years to come.

'l m iil( l' i l illl l f tt lltnilllllll HEALTH THOUGHTS Many people wonder why a Chir- opractor isso interested in the spine when often the complaint may be located in the stomach, kidneys, eyes, legs, etc. the spine be- cause it houses the main chan- nel of life force called tie spinal cord. The spinal cord may be likened to the great trunk of the tree from which many branches and sub-branches come forth. The spinal cord and nervous sys- Stern comprises the main com- munication system of your body carrying messages to and from the brain to every microscopic cell. SThen there is an open line, so to speak that is, when the mes- sages get through, all is well and health is abundant providing that moderation is the keynote of liv- ing. When there is a block to that life energy -output it means that one or more of the bones of the spine is displaced slightly from its normal position. Now you can see why the Chiro- practor is so vitally interested in your back and spine. He is scien- tifically trained to locate and re- move that block to life energy . bringing you health and happiness.
