said it would do away with the
"five little domains" of road ad-
ministration.
Actually, however, these do not
include the major reforms proposed
by Tapper. He thinks any reform
will fail without 'two other very
necessary ingredients.
One of these is adoption of the
"road sufficiency rating system"
which provides for road construc-

of desirability or local pressure.
Engineers-using traffic volume
and road condition as major factors
-would evaluate every road. This
would pit every state road against
1ll other state roads, and the high-
ways in the worst condition would


Merchants Agree

To Close At 7 p.m.

On Saturday Now

Most Businesses Except
Groceries and Drug
Stores Will Close

At a recent meeting of the Port
St. Joe Retail Merchants Asso:ia-
tion it was decided by the mer-
chants to start closing at 7:00 p.m.
on Saturday evening. The closing
proposition met with favor amour
those present and it was decided
to start the practice as of the first
Saturday in August.
Most of the merchants on the
main street have agreed to the
new closing time with a few unde-
cided. It is expected that all of the
stores will follow suite.
The only stores that will def-
initely remain open after the pro-
posed 7:00 p.m. closing will be-
grocery stores and the drug stores.
Drug stores in the city have made
a practice of remaining open nutil
8:00 p.m. each night and until 8:30-
on Saturday.
All shoppers are urged to sche-
dule their shopping accordingly.

WE'RE FOR IT

Last week the City Commission was ap-
proached with the proposition of buying radio
equipment for the police department as a so-
lution for the shortage of manpower on the de-
partment.
We are for it.
For some time past we have advocated
the purchase of radios for the department and
now a responsible civic organization, the Ki-
wanis Club, has formally requested the com-
mission to purchase and install the equipment.
It may seem pretty far fetched to the aver-
age person as to how much good radio equip-
ment would do a one-car police force. Although
it is presumptious on our part to take for grant-
ed that the telephone company would allow
a short-wave radio in their operators booth, --
assuming that they would -- if a call comes in
for the police in the dead of the night, when
only one officer is on duty, and he is out patroll-
ing it would be a hard matter to reachhim by
telephone. We will take for instance what hap-
pened a few nights ago. A girl on Third Street
thought she saw a face in her window and she
screamed for her mother and father. They in-
vestigated and called the police. The police
were patrolling, but as soon as they reported
back to the station they were dispatched to the
scene of the disturbance. If they had been
"equipped with radios, they could have been
called to the scene immediately and might have
apprehended the prowler. There are numerous
other advantages but such an advantage as this
is enough cause.
The city fire department could also be
hqoked up with the police department. The
fire department has radio equipment n:iow and
it has saved many houses and much property
simply by being able to call for help immediate-
ly when it was needed. Radio's aid to the fire
department should be testimony enough as to
what radio on the police equipment could mean
lo safety of the citizens of our town.

"GREW SOME" STORY
McGregor Smith, Chairman of the Board
of the Florida Power and Light Company, re,

story. It's an impressive story indeed. This

the end of 1945. It will have 740,000 next No-
vember. Its capitalization grew from $91,000,-
000 at the end of 1945 to $189,000,000 at the
end of 1953, and is headed toward $435,000,000
in 1961. Where it had 2,061 employes at the
end of 1945, it had 4,358 when 1953 closed, and
will need about 8,000 in 1951. Its rate of return
has been comparatively uniform, and it has been
able to pay fair dividends to the owner-stock-
holders who make its existence possible. Power
rates are low.
Many factors have contributed to this re-
markable record of growth. One of the impor-
tant ones is the state public utility commission's
approach to regulation-an approach which Mr.
Smith called "the most fair and sensible I have
ever known." Basically, the formula is a simple
one. The Commission's general counsel has
described it in these words: "The Florida Com-
mission has never been greatly concerned over
the rate of return. It has been much more in-
terested in the dollar requirements of the utility.
How many dollars does the utility require in
order to meet its operating expenses, deprecia-
tion charges, taxes, maintenance expenses, debt
service, dividend requirements and transfer a
reasonable amount to surplus?"
This policy has made is possible for the


company to attract the new capital'needed. And Our price is less than that or any
that, in turn, has made possible its growth and boat trips that I know of. From the
oft repeated praises of the many
progress, which has worked to the benefit of all visitors, I can only assume that
business and individuals in its territory. When our trips are equivalent if not su-
1 1 1 .


we give enterprise a fair Dreak ana encourage
it to go ,ahead, we get striking results.

IT CAN BE CURED
By a clear-cpt vote of 55 to 36, the Senate,
last Wednesday night, expressed its approval of
President Eisenhower's order that the Atomic
Energy -Commission supply private power to
the TVA. The vote followed eight days and
nights of argument on this most controversial
aspect of the Administration's new Atomic Ener-
gy Bill. But the losers moved back into the
arena, with Oregon's talkathon champion, Wayne
Morse, launching a filibuster with six hours of
what he termed "batting practise".
At this writing, the continuous session had
passed the 38 hour mark and Majority Leader
William F. Knowland had made no progress in
his efforts at checking the aimless oratory. Whe-
ther or not this exhibition will threaten the 54
hour record established by the Ship Purchaes,
Act debate in 1915, only time can tell. But it
is already clear that July 31st adjournment is now
a forlorn hope, and that the statute of the Sen-
ate has not improved much through the years.
There would see mto be little statesmanship in
niere mouthy obstruction of vital legislation, and
less sportsmanship in refusing to recognize the
will of an impressive, majority.
Actually this grotesque and childish travesty
on debate, an excrescence peculiar to American
government, is the product of that outworn no-
tion that Congress should be in session but half
the year. But for the feverish urgency of ad-

I do hope that you will let me

It seems that you should give us
the opportunity to prove that we
do have the mastadon bones and
that our alligators are not stuffed,
for I don't think the public which
read your article should be misled
in believing this about Wakulla

your integrity would not want to
misrepresent anything in your col-

to rectify a misleading statement.

could hold Wakulla Springs' ac-

cut short by rain,, but the guide

Why Worship Irr Public?
Scripture background: Acts 2:
46-47, Colossians 3:12-17, Hebrews
10:23-25. Memory selection: "Let
us consider one another to provoke
unto love and to good works: Not
forsaking the assembling of our-
selves together." Hebrews 10:24-25.
In public worship we have the
promise of the divine presence of
Christ. "For where two or three
are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the -midst of them"
'Matthew 18:20). We .as :Christians
recognize the presence of Christ in
our hearts at all times, buft in'pub-

principles.
Moreover. we see the shadow 'of
the government growing larger as
that of the individual grows smal-
ler. We see Free Enterprise becom-
ing "restricted Enterprise."
But most Americans still like
their form of government. What
these "economic experimenters"
and other insidious foes of our way
of life do'not see is that the great
body of Americans possess self re-
liance and individual initiative,
which has been engendered by otur
stable institutions.
IThis deplorable situation is due
largely to the failure of our present
idaS educators to offer our youth,
in grade schools, high schools and
colleges, a sound and construtive
course in Americanism. We have
Permitted many of our institutions
of higher learning to become honey-
Scombed with teachers of radicalism.
We have lost sight of fundamen-
tals and cultivated a type of dan-
gerous thinking that is undermin-
ing our whole Americanism struc-
ture.
It is gratifying to note that two
Florida institutions of higher learn-


ing have taken cognizance of this
fact and. are attempting to rectify
it through the establishment of
schools that will teach American-
ism as a means of counteracting
the insidious campaign that has
been so successfully waged by our
enemies.
'Southern College through its
"Department of American, Cul-
ture" and Stetson University with
its new course in "American Stu-
dies" are leading the way in Amer-
icanism education. Both are pri-
vate institutions struggling to main-
tain 'their existence and they de-
serve the approbation and cooper-
ation of every right thinking Amer-
ican..
-Southern College is offering a
number of scholarships in a state-
wide contest to high school grad-
uates. A carefully ,prepared ques-
tiorinaire will be submitted and
winners will be determined by the
best answers to the 12 questions
advanced.
These questions are: What is
the supreme law of the land? Why
was it written? What is the Bill
of Rights? What is the purpose of
the American Government? What
is the Pledge of Allegiance? By
whom was it written? When? What
words were added to the Pledge?
When? What role have corpora-
tions played in the development of
our country? What is the writ of
habaes corpus? What role has re-
ligion played in the development
in our country? Why is a funda-
mental belief in God the basis of
our freedom? Here in America,. ev-
ery citizen- has a right to (list-six
rights that every American Citizen
enjoys under the Constitution.)
what is my responsibility in help-
ing. to preserve our American heri-
tage? What should be done to fur-
ther strengthen our liberties?
Whether you are interested Win

Angry owners of a particular com-
mercial refrigerator blamed the
