JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1955 _ p- a ' ETAOIN SIHRDLU by WErLEY R. RAMSEY We managed to arouse a little interest, on our banning Bibles from school article two weeks ago. We are glad that people are taking an interest in the mat- /ter/ We might add that Congress- man Bob Sikes is the man to register your indigination with. We will say further on the subject that it is no- more right, Speaking 'strictly from a stand- point of being right, to ban the Bible from class rooms than it is to ban "Swiss Family Robinson" or the dictionary. All three books are for learning each in its own way. And we are of the opinion that the schools desire to supply a well-rounded educa- tion. Well-rounded means all sides of the education picture. How can you leave out the reli- gious picture and cover all as- pects of education? Think of the millions of board feet of lumber that burned here in Gulf County this week. Think of the loss to Jimmy McNeill and his family, in losing this timber. Think of these things and then see Ai you can't be just a mite more careful in your handling of fire in the woods, especially dur- ing this dry weather. Everywhere we went last week we had the same question asked that was asked of every- body in town, "Have you used the new dial system yet? How did you like it? We like it fine. And everytime we would herd our old car into the curb an anx- ious of group of spectators would stop and look and hoot .and holler c, ytinv. we had to go digging for a nickel or a pen- ny to feed the parking meter. That's all right boys, at least we can find a place to park now. It used to be that everybody drove around and around the block hunting for a parking space, and now they drive round and round hunting a parking me- " ter with some time left on it. Baseball starts here Sunday and we will be one of the first ones in the park. Of course we won't mind if about 400 fans beat; us in. And we know the baseball team would like it. We just believe that most everyone of them would do their best to hit a home run if the stands'were full. Let's be there and watch it. The team in the boo corner is Wewahitchka. ----*--- Pre-School Clinics Set To Begin On May 6 All children who aren't entered in school now but who will be en- tered next semester are asked to come in to the Pre-School Clinic for examination.

Costin, Gulf Representative. This would practically assure the bill's pas- sage. The budget committee has set aside 12 million 800 thousands dollars to meet the raise with if it passes. Tuesday the controversial bill for abolition of the fee system as a means of remuneration for Coun- ty officials came before the com- mittee of municipal and county governments of which Costin is the chairman. The bill was postponed until a state-wide public hearing could ba held. The meeting has been set for next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. with all County officials in- vited to attend.

The House has the same approximate 404 million dol- lars plus $12 million, $800 thousand for the school teacher raise. The anticipated revenue for the state for the biennium is $430 mil- lion.

District Forester Urges Landowners Cut Fire-Damaged Trees After Fire TALLAHASSEE -Cut and sell fire-damaged trees before it's too late, Florida's state forester urged owners of timber recently swept by wildfires. "Waiting too long to get out dying trees," C. H. Coulter warned, "will leave you less to sell, bring you less for what you do sell, or rule out altogether a sal- vage operation." Coulter added that many land- owners have already sold their fire-injured trees and a good bit of cutting is already in progress. 'Early removal of fire-damaged trees not only produces better re- turns from the scarred timber," Coulter declared, "but helps pre- vent spread of bark beetle infesta- droughts like the one we're under- going now." I Pine engraver beetle Infestation in iSouth Georgia has already reach- ed epidemic proportions. The U. S. Forest Service calls it on6 of ne most serious outbreaks ever re- corded in the South. 'Severe losses from the pine engraver beetle have also been incurred in North Florida. 'Coulter said that presence of pine engraver Ibeetles is evidenced ,by droplets of gum on the trunk, and tunnels or galleries between the bark and the wood.

JUNGLE RAIDERS' JOHN LUND CHAPTER 7 of SERIAL ' "MAGOO SLEPT HERE" "Kiddie Kincert Cartoon" TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY BY RUSSELL KAY One of my favorite columnists is Jack Oswald, who writes "News- room Notes" for the Hollywood Sun-Tattler. A recent column of his that I thoroughly enjoyed was entitled "Word(s) Mean(s) What Law- yer(s) Desire(s)." Having listened to lawyers in congress, state legislatures, court rooms and round about for a good many years, I concur heartily with Jack and am taking the liberty of borrowing some of his excellent material. "Law", says Jack, "is arbitrary. And in a great many cases the ar- bitrariness verges on the ridicu- lous." Jack reached this conclusion af- ter reading the proposed new char- ter for the City of Hollywood. Under the title "Definitions" Jack learned that "New Municipal- ity" mean sthe municipality estab- lished by the Act. He also learned that "City Clerk" meant the "Clerk o fthe City." His blood pressure didn't begin to rise until he got all backlashed and snarled up with such lawyer language as "And shall also mean 'or' and the word 'or' shall include 'and' whenever the contents shall so require." After chewing that over a few minutes he began wondering what would happen if a guy tried to car- ry that principal into everyday life and conversation. Suppose, he reasons, I walk into a restaurant and ask the girl for a doughnut and coffee. The gal brings me a doughnut. She is Justified. According to the lawyer language "or" means "and"--she interprets your order to mean "Bring me a doughnut and/or coffee." Wading further into the mire of confusing language, Jack encoun- ters this "definition." "Masculine gender" shall extend to and include the feminine gender and vice versa. Jack thinks this is 'Christine Jorgenson language of -the first water. Take a simple little statement like "'He gave it to her,"Isays Jack, and try to interpret it under this clause. I could mean "She gave it to him" or "He gave it to her" or "It gave her to him" and so on and so on. And now for complete utter chaos says Jack, add this gem found among the "definitions.' '"Singular includes the plural and vice versa". Just you try playing around with that one for awhile alid see how long it takes you tb go stark star- ing mad. "Person", he found, included in- dividuals, children, firms, associa- tions, joint adventures, partner- ships, estates, trusts, business trusts, syndicates, fiduciarle, cor- poration and all other combinations. On this basis one might say that "General Motors was crossing the street and was hit in the and/or by Willie the Weeper who was on his way to a joint advent ..

GULF COUNTY CAN BE BIGGER No doubt you read in the Panama City paper the other week about the Bay County Representative stated that Gulf County Repre- sentative "seemed to be actually serious about trying to take the Mexico Beach area for a part of Gulf County". We say that he just as well be serious, because we think it could be done. We know it could be done if about 15 or 20 of cur good citizens would give the Representative a little help, both morally as well as physically in trying to put the bill over. We feel sure that the Senator could handle his end of the project but the Representative would have too many people to see in the House before the bill could be put across in that section of the State Gov- PTA purchase, fertilizer for the School Science Class football field which was carried.

While we cannot speak for the people of the Mexico Beach area we feel that they would like to be annexed to Gulf' County. A look at the map will convince you that the area in question is entirely cut off from Pan- ama City by Tyndall Field, while they are only some 10 or 12 miles from Port St. Joe and only a few more miles from the County seat via the Overstreet road. The Mexico Beach area gets practically all of its public services it now receives from Gulf County. Mail comes from the Port St. Joe post office. The Highway Patrolman from Port St. Joe patrols the area. The Port St. Joe Fire De- partment offers fire protection and many other services too numerous too mention. On the good side for the Mexico Beach residents, their taxes would be cheaper from Gulf County and we believe, their police services would be bet- ter than they now aie. The time is now right to acquire this pro- perty for Gulf County and with its acquisition more taxable property would come on the Gulf County tax rolls. And practically all of the homes in the area are not homestead exempt. The acquisition of the Mexico Beach area would give Gulf County some more of the finest beaches in this section of Florida. A big selling point in selling the County to tourists, which bring big money to any county they happen to congregate in.

This is the engine that has stock car timers doing a "double take" at their stop- watches wherever experts gather to compare the abilities of the 1955 cars. For example, in the recent NASCAR * stock car competition at Daytona Beach, Florida, Chevrolet literally ran away from every other car in its class -and a raft of others besides. In the one-mile straightaway run for low- priced cars, the first two places-and six of the first ten-went to Chev- rolets. And in acceleration runs from a standing start against all comers, the Metoramic Chevrolet beat all other low-priced cars-and every high-priced car except one! What's behind this blazing perform- ance? A- compact honey of a V8 that only the world's leading producer of valve-in-head engines can build. Chev- rolet's new "Turbo-Fire V8". It puts a new kind of fun in your driving life. You're in charge of 162 high-spirited horsepower- or if you're looking for even more excitement, the new "Super Turbo-Fire V8" (optional at extra cost) puts 180 h.p. under your toe!

CAMPBELL'S DRUG STORE "Your Walgreen Agency Drug Store" By Charles B. Smith Any city which grows and pros- pers overnight as was the case of old St. Joseph is destined to at- tract men of rare talent in quest of quick fame and fortune. Such a man was Peter Gautier, Jr., son of a Methodist minister, Rev. Peter Gautier, Sr., who settled on St. -Andrew's Bay about the year 1827. In the early part of 1830 we find Peter Gautier, Jr., practicing law in the rich agricultural village of Marianna, Florida. In the year 1836 he turns up in Apalachicola, Flor- ida as proprietor of the "City Ho- tel". It was perhaps while in Apa- lachicola that Peter Gautier, Jr., learned of the many opportunities which awaited ambitious and ener- getic men in the one year old city of St. Joseph, which was located 28 miles northwest of Apalachicola. In the latter part of 1836 Peter Gautier, Jr., succeed R. Dinsmore Westcott, one of the founders of St. Joseph, as editor of "The St. Joseph Times", which was estab- lished March 10, 1836, the original name being that of "The St. Joseph Telegraph". As an editor, Peter Gautier, Jr., ranked among the fin- est in the then Territory of Flor- ida. He had agents for the circula- tion of the "Times" in Bainbridge and Columibus, Georgia and in Tal- lahassee, Marianna, and Pensacola, Florida. The "Times" was publish- ed weekly at St. Joseph with a cost to subscribers set at $5.00 per an- num. He was constantly on the ,alert to attract financial interests from other cities In behalf of St. Joseph. Peter Gautier's talents were not confined to the field of journalism. He also ranked prominently as a politician of the territory. In 1837 he was elected as a delegate to the Legislative Council from Franklin County. In 1836 the previous delegate to the Council from Franklin County, E. J. Wood, a prosperous merchant of St. Joseph, had persuaded the council to change the county seat of Franklin County from Apalachi- cola to St. Joseph. This bit of di- plomacy aWood's part was revers- ed by the National government, which indirectly had the last word in the governing of the territories. Perhaps Joseph M. White, delegate to Congress from the Territory of Florida was instrumental in the reversal of the decision as he held an interest in the Apalachicola Land Company. Peter Gautier as member of the Legislative Council induced the members to divide Franklin Coun- ty and create a new county to be known as Calhoun, named in honor of John C. Calhoun, defender of States Rights. This was a shrewd bit of statesmanship on Gautier's part to make St. Joseph a county seat town. Peer Gautier also played a major' role in the Legislative's Council selecting St. Joseph as a meeting place for the Constitution- al Convention which convened in that city December 3, 1836 and was adjourned January 11, 1839. Peter Gautier was awarded the prize of publishing the official pro- ceedings of the convention. These documents were published at the "Times" office in St. Joseph. Peter Gautier owned stock in the Union Bank of Tallahassee, perldaps the most powerful bank in the Terri- tory of Florida at that early date. He was also United States Mar- shall of the Apalachicola District. Peter Gautier was an ardent sports- man and an enthusiastic fan of Highland View G. A.'s Meet At Church Monday' The Junior Girl's Auxiliary of the Highland View Baptist Church met at the church Monday afternoon with 14 members and four visitors present. Sandra Adams, president, presid- ed over the meeting. The mee'ina opened with Winnie Ruth Clark giving a prayer followed with the' waithword and G. A. hymn. SandrL Adams gave the devotional taken from Matt. 25: 32-40. Those taking part on the program were Cybil Tucker, Margaret Pat- terson, Linda Faye Keels and Lin- da Kennedy. Mrs. Ralph Macomber and Mrs. Ruth Burch are the coun- selors for the group. horse racing, holding the position of Secretary of the race track club of 'St. Joseph. He attended the races at St. Joseph and surrounding circuit of Apalachicola, Marianna, and Quincy all of which had race tracks at that early date.

For the past hundred I years, alfalfa has been synony- mous with hay-in fact, alfalfa as a hay crop has had much to do with the rapid settling of the West. But something has happened to these ranges. There is scarce- ly a western State that supports as many units of livestock per acre as it did 50 years ago, this in spite of irrigation, ferti- Lization, new varieties, etc. Some of the reasons are: (1) replace- ment of original cover by other plants of little, or no forage value, (2) replacement of per- ennials by annuals, 03) erosion and (4) reduction of organic matter. Commercial nitrogen, fall ap- plied, often means the differ- ence between success and fail- ure in grass seeding on range land. It can increase the yield of our native grasses amazingly. A fair stand of grazing alfalfas could supply this needed nitro- gen. Professor E. R. Jackman, Oregon State College, suggests that grazing alfalfas may be the key to the problem of main- taining grass stands, keeping out unwanted species, stopping erosion and restoring humus. The Oregon State College is now conducting trials to determine the adaptation of alfalfa in solv- ing the problem. Nomad and Rhizoma are the only strictly grazing types of alfalfa being used of which seed is available. Sevelra and Ladak are included because they have a small percentage of grazing types. Ladak has up to 15 per cent in some lots of seed. Ran- ger is in the trials simply be- cause it is now the standard variety. From the 75 seedings In this test, it is hoped to learn (1) limitations of each variety when grazed, (2) type of grazing most successful, (3). ability of. the Oregen State Cc[', " This' fi&eW-,of Nomad arf' SU crested whedtgrass in Oregonl has been graze lSfily ess. since seeding, but was allowed : to recover before this photo "as taken.

IP a single day friends of the veteran brought modern soil con- seivation to his farm. More than 200 willing helpers turned out to modernize his farm buildings and land. Flees was born to immigrant par ents on a farm in the town of Fran- zen in 1923. He was graduated from grade school, then joined the ma. rines In 1943. He was commended for meritorious service and wounded on Guam. After he was discharged Flees returned to Wisconsin to work in a mill. After nine months of this, he began to yearn for the land. So he bought 80 acres of land and married his grade school sweetheart. He attended the GI farm train ing school where he sharpened his knowledge of practical agriculture and began to learn about the value of retaining the water on the slopes and how to keep his pastures green One Eye Injured Then In September, 1950. while he was filling a silo on the farm, a chain snapped. One end hit him in the right eye and destroyed its sight. It was then that 125 youths in Flees' farm training school de- cided to help. So did his neighbors. First of all he needed the build- ings to operate his farm-a house barn, milkhouse, silo. He needed more land for cultivation, and lime and fertilizer for his soil. The farm home administration couldn't give him a big enough loan to accom- plish all that. Then Dr. B. J. Przedpelski, as- sociate extension agent of Mara- thon and Wood counties, stepped in to give a hand. He enlisted the aid of the churches, federal farm agen- cies, women's clubs, civic clubs and corporations. A Lifetime's Work The labor force of Flees' friends and neighbors numbered over 200. There were about 25 technical ex- perts to direct the operation and, while helping Flees, showed other farmers good practices in Wisconsin agriculture. This is what the volunteers have accomplished: Built a house, barn, milkhouse and silo. Built roads. Bulldozed 25 acres of woods. Planted trees on about five acres of land unsuitable for farming Cleared stones from about 10 acres. Prepared about 25 acres for alfalfa. Renovated about 10 acres of worn pasture. Dug a pond for watering livestock. All of it was accomplished with donated machines, labor and mater- ials. To build a farm like this one would have taken Flees most of a lifetime.

That's size where it really counts-and it's important because a long wheelbase is the reason for Pontiac's smooth, road-leveling ride and the roomy comfort of Pontiac's large, luxu- rious Body by Fisher--advantages that put Pontiac on a level with far costlier cars for sheer riding pleasure. ***'\ , PONTIAC COSTS LESS THAN ANY CAR EQUALLING ITS LUXURY-CAR STABILITY The big, husky Pontiac with rugged X-member frame gives you the safe, solid feel at cruising speeds that motorists have formerly paid high prices to enjoy.

You will find that you will use less moisture fdr your clothes U they are wrapped in plastic and that they will not dry out as much while waiting to be ironed.
