JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1954 NUMBER 8 ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY It would look like the mem- bers of the County Commis- sioners committed political ."ui- cide as far as Port St. Joe voters are concerned by rescinding their resolution opposing the Niles Road spur. Maybe they should be told that the people down here were bitterly against that. In looking over the minutes of that meeting we are wonder- ing if it was even a legal meet- ing. According to the'way the minutes read, there were no written notices of the meeting sent out. Maybe the County doesn't require written notices. we won't get into that until we find out for sure. It was a hard matter for us to be against the spur, since we personally like George Tapper. What we couldn't figure out was why he didn't make plain to the people why he wanted the spur. We understand that it was to open up the property for sale as lots. (This is strictly hearsay, so please don't quote it as facts). If this is so and he had made it public, we believe the citizens of the town would 'have gone along with him. We know this citizen would have. But the Garrison residents were just naturally "gun-shy" and we could understand their situation especially when the other side of the matter said nothing ex- *ceiptthat "the spur is going to go through". Such attitude just doesn't go with people. You can't blame the people for the fact'either. Anything done in a veil.,of secrecy smacks of a dirty deal' Again you can't blame the people for taking this attitude. Now that we are going to get the-spur anyhow, we sincerely hope that worst of the Garri- son Avenue residents fears are not realized. We went dove hunting for the first time in our life. Saturday afternoon. Now we aren't brag- ging, but we got two out of three. It wasn't good shooting or accident. Nobody told us that doves are hard to hit and one is lucky to get the limit out of a box of shells. We don't know that fact so we just got this good record on our first time out. No doubt you have noticed that the police chief is on a diet. His name is now "slim" Griffin instead of Buck. We asked Buck about how much weight he had lost. Buck replied, "Oh, I've lost about 61 pounds and 13 and a half ounces". "About" he says. I'll bet that'rascal has a chart in the bathroom and he can tell you day- by day how many pounds he has lost since he star- ted his diet. High School P.-T. A.

To Construct Highway Cut-off SThe residents of Garrison Avenue lost their fight against a proposed spur connecting Niles Road with the new Apalachicola-Port St. Joe short-cut highway last week when contracts were let for the construc- tion of the .road from the Gulf County line to a point to the South of Oak Grove where the short-cut will connect with Highway 98. included in the contracts for the road was the specifications for the construction of the disputed spur. Garrison residents fought the spur because they feared that at a later date it would be turned into a highway and that traffic would be routed down Garrison Avenue. The Garrison residents drew this opin- ion from the fact that the Apala- chicola-Port St. Joe was slated to enter Port St. Joe by way of Gar- rison Avenue before the residents objected vigorously to the route and had its location changed to a point South of Oak Grove. After the acceptance of -the new route, the City of Port St. Joe took steps to get Garrison Avenue ex- tended to the Niles Road and pav- ed for an access to the new Holly Hill Cemetery. Then the "spur" sprung up. The Garrison residents, thought that it would be an easy matter later on to route the highway down the then-javed Garrison Avenue and on over the new spur to the new highway. The Garrison residents appealed as a last resort to State Senator George G. Tapper to sGO7p :he r1a"' Tapper stated that he was unable to do so. The contract for the remainder of the Port St. Joe-Apalachicola short-cut highway and the connect- ing spur was let to the George G. Tapper Company. ~-Ic Florida Forest Service Gels New Uniforms "Keep Florida Green" has been taken quite seriously by the Florida Forest Service as its members blossomed out in new green and khaki uniforms this month. County Ranger H. A. Hardy said that the new uniforms were chosen after a state-wide vote by Florida Forest Service employees on whe- ther or not to wear them at all. The majority favored the distinc- tive garb and October was designat- eId thp month of metamorphosis.

This one ofifce is the office of Governor of the StaLe of Florida. The ballot bears the names of Leroy Collins, Democratic nominee for the office and J. Tom Watson, Republican nominee. Since the death of Wat- son, there are no opposing Repub- lican candidates on the Gulf bal- lot until a candidate for governor can be appointed by the Repub- licans. The seven Constitutional Amend- ments contain several important ones that will affect this section.

Coach Craig employed his bench as the Sharks coasted to an easy 46-20 victory. John Henry Pope started off the scoring with an 8-yard sprint around left end. Frank Dennis kicked the extra point. Bay High came back to score on a 31-yard pass play. Wal- ler Wilder and Wayne Taylor teamed up on some beautiful run- ning and on the first play of the second quarter Wilder scored on an eight yard dash. Frank Dennis again applied his magic toe for the extra point. Later in the quarter, Joe Adams passed to Wilder who again went 16 yards to a touchdown. The Sharks capitalized on a blocked punt by Charles Smith and worked the ball to the three-yard line where John Henry 'Pope went over for the touchdown. Adams passed to Ronnie Chism for the extra point. Bay High scored their second time against the Shark reserves on a 15-yard pass play. Point attempt by Bay was good and the Sharks were in front at the half by a 27-14 score. Walter Wilder took a lickoff la- teral from Joe Adams on the half- time kickoff and returned it 40 yards, to Bay High's 20. The Sharks moved the ball down to the two yard line where Joe Adams went across 'on a quarterback sneak. Gene Anderson joined in the scor- ing spree to go 11 yards off tackle for a touchdown as the third quar- ter ended. Wayne Taylor edded his talents to the fracas to bull across to pay dirt from the six yard line in the iast quarter. Adams passed again to Chism for the point. 'Bay High made their final score to end the game with the Sharks out in front 46-20. The whole Shark backfield turn- ed in some fine running with Wal- ter Wilder leading the pack with 130 yards gained. Defensive stand- outs were Charles Smith, Bert Munri and Gene Raffield.

Or, if you had such power, wouldn't it be marvelous to rid ypprself of all per- sonal worries? But by our very nature, we are imper- fect. While going it alone, we are incap- able of perfect deeds and decisions. Fortunately, there is a Greater Being than ourselves who stands ready and anxious to help us. To' Him we must 1,pk for guidance and faith. And it is through His Church, here on earth, that we can best come to understand His will. Attend Church this Sunday and every Sunday. Here, in spite of all our weak- nesses, we will become stronger men and women. Here, we will learn to face the future with a surer understanding of right and wrong. THE CHURCH FOR ALL .

Taking the history of nylon as a case in point, it shows that over Ignoring Signs Proves Largest Accident Cause TALLAHASSEE The. Florida Highway Patrol this week pointed out two frequently violated traffic laws that cause a large per cent of all wrecks and kill many people. ,Patrol records show that 2,295 wrecks last year were caused by improper passing at intersections, on hills and curves and other types of improper passing violations which accounted for 18 accidents which killed one or more persons. The laws which the driver vio- lates when he passes on a curve, approaching a hill, at intersections and so on are: The law against passing impro- perly at ny of the previously men- tioned places under any circum- stances, and passing under such conditions when the locations are marked with yellow double lines on the highway.

"However, on curves-in level, hilly or mountainous country, he double line is a sort of a lifeline, and a lifesaver for those who get the habit of obeying it."

O --C Santa Rosa Man Fined For Causing Wild Fires "Farm operators in this area will be pleased to learn that their So- cial Security reports have been greatly simplified," Harry Scott, manager of the Dothan District Office announced this week. "Ef- fective with January 1, 1955, the qualifying quarter and the 60-day rule are dropped as a requirement for farm workers." These changes became law with the approval of the amendments to the Social Security Act in Aug- ust. 1954. The old provision was cumber- some and required the operator to keep track of the number of days a worker was employed in each quarter. Now any farm worker who is paid $100.00 or more in cash wages per year by one employer is covered by social security after December 31, 1954, without res- pect to the number of days worked. This change will result in consider- ably more farm workers getting the advantage of coverage. Additional information may be secured from the Dothan District Office at 109 W.
