Senator George G. Tapper. Almost to a man,
the cry was "grant the school teachers a sub-
stantial raise in pay" and "grant more money to
our school systems".
The lawmakers asked what the populace
wanted and that is what they heard.
Both the Senator and Representative were

increases, even if it meant that some other state
-service, might lack for sufficient funds or if the
people of the state even had to do without some
of the benefits now afforded them.
We believe that this is the public opinion
all over the state. If it is, and all the Repre-
sentatives and Senators heard what Tapper and
Costin heard from their constituents, then it
would seem that the teachers will get their sub-
stantial -raise in pay, or the state government
will see an entirely new set of faces, come next
election day.
That was the 'depth of feeling' and we
were glad to see it. At last the parents of the
state are awaking to the fact that their children
are receiving a haphazard education due to their
own.lack of interest, in the matter. If parents
all over the state vented their wishes as those
in Port St. Joe in the past, few weeks, comes a
few years hence, Florida will be among 'the
leaders in good educational standards, and,not
about-six from 'the ,bottom.
The will of the citizei-nsca' w-ork, wonders'
in government, if the citizens will just stand to-
,gether and let their wishes be known and bring
the power of their ballot out in the open in
place of voting a secret choice and never open-
ing his mouth about a thing.. The people have
sat by the wayside too long and let things just
"rock along" as best it can.
There were other matters brought up at
the meeting but none received the attention
and interest and. discussion that this education
matter did.
Yes sir, Costin and Tapper wanted tp know
what the people wanted and now they know.

A S THE SL


Port St. Joe Is

Taking On The

Spring Look

By MRS. BERT MUNN
Port St. Joe is more beautiful
this spring than ever before and
-everyone is interested in making
.it so by planting and landscaping
their yards. Hundreds of azaleas
and camellias have been planted in
yards and-along the streets and if
one rides over town, they can find
them in almost every yard in full
array.
This past week, the city coim-
mission approved the purchase and
planting of. 150 azalea plants for


grounds of the High School and the
planting of azaleas and shrubs at
the Municipal Building.
The State landscaped and plant-
ed our Constitution Park, perhaps
one of the most beautiful natural
parks in Florida. Few, in Port St.
Joe, realize that all/the shrubs and
trees planted there are native.
There, one can find a variety of
berry and flowering plants, palms
and palmettos with towering- pines,
dogwood, redbud and holly.
Out at the St.-Joe Paper Com-
pany, azaleas and daylillies have
been planted at the entrance of the
parking lot.
Truly, it's Spring!

Forestry Service

Offering Prizes

In Essay Contest

The cash value of Florida forests
will be impressed upon high school
and college students during the
next several weeks with cash priz-
es of $200 in a forest conservation
essay contest.
Sponsored by the Stat6 Cham-
ber of Commerce Forestry Division,
headed by W. T. Edwards of Jack-
,sonville, the purpose of the con-
test is to stimulate interest among
Florida's, future citizens in the
economic importance of forest in-
dustries.
"Florida forests are the most val-
uable and least appreciated of our
natural resources," Edwards de-
clared in announcing the contest.
."The forest industry of this state,


with products valued t $300 mil- DftL C';LA l* e


lion a year is the largest employer
of labor, with the largest payroll
in Florida," he said, "yet forest
lauds worth millions of dollars are
needlessly and criminally destroyed
each year by wildfires."
The contest is open to all public
and parochial high school, college
and university students in the
state.
First prize for the college win-
ner is $40, second prize $20, third,
$10 and six at five dollars. High
school awards are.from $25 for first
place, $15 for runner-up, $10 for
third and ten prizes of five dol-
lars.
Essay rules limit the length to
3,000 words on a subject dealing
with forest conservation. School au-
thorities will submit top selections
on or before April 25, to Professor

Coonskin Cap


The position of Congressman
Bob Sikes as dean of the Florida
Congressional delegation was made
more official recently when he was
presented with a genuine coonskin
cap, tail and all, which is symbo-
lic of his post as "He Coon" of the
delegation.
The presentation was a feature
of the reception for Governor Dan
McCarty which was given by the
Florida State Society in Washing-
ton at the Senate Caucus Room
during the inaugural season and
was made by Billy Wilcox, of Mia-
mi, president of the Society.
Now the oldest member from
standpoint of service.as Congress-
man from. Florida, Sikes ascended
to the title when Representative
J. Hardin Peierson, of Lakeland,
retired at the end of the 81st Con-
gress in 1950. He also inherited
the title of "He Coon" which he
himself had formerly bestowed
upon Representative Peterson.

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ferrell at-
tended an all day singing at Quin-
cy last Sunday.

Mrs. S. L. Barke will leave today
for an extended visit with Mr. and

satisfying salad for meatless days.
Ever thought of combining fish with fruit? This idea is par-
ticularly timely now during Lent when meatless dinners are in order
and you'll find that the fresh, exciting flavor of golden pineapple will
lend new and appetizing interest to your menus. Pineapple is univer-
sally popular and so versatile it is a perfect flavor-mate with any fish;'
fresh or frozen halibut, sole, bass or any of the canned varieties such
as tuna, salmon, shrimp or crab. You can use pineapple rings or chunks
as an accompaniment for broiled or fried fish, or as a stuffing for
baked fish, and a colorful topping of pineapple tidbits will lend inviting
flavor to fish casseroles. In main-dish salads, which are especially
important during this Lenten season, the addition of pineapple will
make them doubly appealing to the eye and more satisfying to eat.
PINEAPPLE SHRIMP SALAD, -
2 cups fresh or canned shrimp or crab 12 cup French dressing
or canned tuna -. I cup sliced celery
