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.

Costin Says Teacher Raise Assured;

Lists Other Activities of The House


'The Governor's bill for increas-
ing school teachers salaries by $200
across the board has passed the
Senate and public education com-
mittee of the house and has been
voted out of the appropriations
committee of the House Wednes-
day, according to Cecil G. 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. Many County offi-
cials are opposing the bill but the

lars plus $12 million, $800 thousand
for the school teacher raise.
The anticipated revenue for the
state for the biennium is $430 mil-

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-

'Coulter said that presence of pine

droplets of gum on the trunk, and

"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 ..
And so it ee legis-
lative session opened lawyers have
been stuffing scores of bills in the

Looking for more value from your motor car
dollars? Then, look no more. Ford brings you a
wealth of fine-car -.tures that even some of the
higher-priced cars can't match.
For example, the chart above shows that in feature
after feature Ford gives you everything you have
come to expect in a medium-priced car and
more. Yet, a Ford Fairlane Town Sedan costs* you
less than the lowest-priced comparably equipped
4-door sedan of four popular medium-priced makes.
And, with Ford recognized as the style leader .
"at home" wherever you may go... why pay more?
Feature for feature price for price you
can't buy better than Ford.

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-

Mexico Beach, which now seems to be a
red-headed step-child in the way of services per-
formed, for Bay County, would be a rich
prize for Gulf County. 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.

Chevrolet TuArGF' oire V"


This is the engine that's writing a
whole new chapter in the book of
,automobile performance records. 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!
Pick the one you'd rather have fun
with, then come in and get behind the'
wheel. You'll see why the Motoramic
Chevrolet is showing its heels to every-
one else on the road!

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

Grazing Alfalfas Hold

Promise for Old Ranges


Today, we are Interested In
returning alfalfa to its first use
-grazing. 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

various varieties to persist un-
der grazing, (4) difference be-
tween hay varieties and graz-
ing varieties, and (5) effect of
the various varieties upon th3
companion grasses and upon
encroachment of the unwanted
species.
These trial plantings are on
low yielding land land nP- '-y

so the yield is low in any 0:.
Average rainfall for the 75 it-
ings is 12 inches.

(This is the sixth of a series of articles on civil defense, based on the booklet "This Is

O Civil Defense does many things before an attack.
The most important is preparedness. It gives you
information on how to safeguard your home, how to
fight fires, and what steps to take against atomic,
biological, and chemical warfare. It arranges for shelters
and operates the warning system which fiotifies you when
to use them. It gets medical supplies and special equipment
ready, trains technical services needed to restore a stricken
area, and organizes mutual aid and mobile support.
There are two steps which every-*
one can take to get into civil de- Mutual aid pacts to help each

Friends Hed

Rebuild Ve*

Farm in a DCty
FRANZEN, Wis.-The people n'
Franzen reverted to the old farr
tradition of neighbors helping one
another to help a disabled veteran
turned farmer, Frank Flees.
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.

5 ASIC REASONS FOR



PONTIAC'S RECORD-BREAKING SALES


PONTIAC COSTS LESS THAN ANY CAS
EQUALLING ITS 200 HORSEPOWER

If you delight in flashing performance, here's all
the reason you need to join the record-breaking
thousands who are swinging to Pontiac. The 200
horsepower delivered by the economical Strato-
Streak V-8 with the four-barrel carburetor,
optional at extra cost, is the highest power ever
delivered by a car at Pontiac's price-higher
than that of cars costing considerably more. For.
thrift and thrills it's Pontiac all the wayl -_


PONTIAC COSTS LESS THAN ANY CAR
EQUALLING ITS LONG WHEELBASE
Model for model, Pontiac has a longer wheelbase
than any car at its price-122" or 124"', depending
on whether you select an 860, 870, or Star Chief
model. 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. And it links this road-holding
comfort with ease of control like that of costly
sports cars. You travel in superlative comfort in a
Pontiac for the lowest price ever placed on such
S ig-car stability.

4 PONTIAC'S DISTINCTIVE BEAUTY IS
UNMATCHED AT ANY PRICE
Pontiac's style and beauty are a perfect match
for its colorful performance. Future-fashioned
lines, Vogue Two-Toning and Twin-Streaked
hood provide dash and glamour unsurpassed by
any other car at any price.

5 You can buy a big, powerful Pontiac for
less than many models of the lowest-priced
cars and much less than stripped economy
models of higher-priced makes

Ironing Pointers
.To prevent ironing from drying
out when you don't complete U
much as you have sprinkled, I have
several suggestions for you. Pur-
chase a plastic pillow 'cover that
will allow room for a large family's
ironing. 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. Whenuyou have
a few pieces left over or .pieces
that are hard to iron, place them in
refrigerator. They will not dry 7 ut
and due to the coldness they .1ll be
muob easier to iron.
