Hamman Suggests Use Of 3 Pipe
1W« Cross Florida While Canal Is Dug
nABe ultimately a barge canal across northern Florida is n step forwar
l ■ highly desirable, three pipe lines of second hand material ca
land placed in immediate operation to handle crude oil, gasoline, an
Led heating oils from St. Marks, on the west coast of Florida, to
wile, on the east coast, an airline distance of about 160 miles.
Ifcese lines, Mr. Hamman says, and the necessary terminal at
toonville can be constructed out of used materials which arc now
avaibihie. They will, therefore, serve to put into operation a plan which
waBI give prompt relief to the rationed area along the east coast and to
distressed condition of refineries along the Gulf Coast.
If sufficient barges and tow boats arc not now available, Mr. Ham-
_ points out, they can be supplied by building barges instead of
tankers until this critical condition is eliminated. The causal f 1 om
ksmrville to the New Jersey refinery area is now of sufficient depth
I width to be used for barges.

H.K. Staples Of Edna Herald Has
Some Interesting Observations
m iR StnDles editor and proprietor of the Edna Weekly Herald,
tam^sonre' interesting observations in an editorial entitled “Behind the
S4B^D,,a*
The editor of the Herald is “behind the 8-ball” this week. It is
tatting new, however, for we have occupied that position many times
newspaper career. This is our position this week: A couple of
■rfifirT boys got marriage license# in Edna. They called by the Hei a (
2^t,.request that no mention be made of this fact. TTiey gave us
zw reason whatever for omitting this item of news—an item that wi
taint regularly in these columns. It is difficult for this writer to refuse
r^rvu-^man any reasonable request. But the “
ta a public document; any one anywhere can examine t. The ch»nce-
taw any number of people at the court house, especially in the cleiks
office, know about these licenses being issued. There will probably be
a number around when the preacher or judge performs the ceremony
and these will likely tell others. The point is this: Any number of
people will already know about these people getting married, and U
the newspaper does not carry the item it is classed as a poor newspapei.
A question we would like to ask is why in the name of heaven does a
fellow or a girl want to keep their marriage a secret. Are they
ashamed of it? It should be a matter that they are proud of. The
editor is not in sympathy with this secret marriage business and unless
it is an unusual case we refuse to be a party to it. We have had many
requests in our time to omit the marriage license news, but it is on
rare occasions that we have complied.
Last fall we had an earnest request to refrain from mentioning a
case in district court in which a divorce was involved. Naturally, to
right thinking and refined people this is an occasion fdr embarrassment.
But we have never associated divorce cases, the normal case, with dis-
grace or anything of the kind. In many instances a divorce is the honor-
able wav out-embarrassing but altogether honorable. Hence we see
no reason for hiding this important step in life. We never parade such
news items, but record it as modestly as we can.
At the last term of district court we hod a request to refrain from
publishing a case that is known under the law as a felony. An appeal
of this kind is usually accompanied by the argument that it would not
injure the paper to omit the item and on the other hand it could, if
published, injure and humiliate the party and parties concerned. That s
an appeal hard to resist.
It is a source of real regret that we cannot grant these requests.
We like to be accommodating and we certainly do not wish to injure any
man, woman or child. But suppose we grant these requests Just how
far would it go. We would have to be fair and impartial. One request
granted would mean all should be granted-if we tote fair to every
cne. On that basis a newspaper would almost cease to be a newspaper.
So you can readily see how often the newspaper business presents
an opportunity for the editor to get behind the 8-ball.

Mr. and Mrs. “Top" Huebner of
Houston clipped this poem from the
Saturday Evening Post for our
renders:
FIGHTING WORDS
My grandmother gave me u cup-
cake
When I sang, Look away! Look
away!
But when I tried Marching Through
Georgia,
She sent me to bed for the day.
Oh, what would she do in the pres-
ent crisis,
With all her standards involved in
lysis?
For the Yanks are coming,
The papers say,
Up from Savannah
And Mobile way.
Little they reck
Of the cannon’s mouth,
The dauntless Yanks
Of the Solid South.
A plane takes off with a flashing
pinion,
Propelled by a Yank from the Old
Dominion;
They’ve given a medal for bravery
To a Yank from Dyersburg, Ten
nessee.
O, grandmother, grandmother, what
would you do
If you heard they’ve made you a
Yankee too?
My grandmother wouldn’t surren-
der,
Excent of her muffins and buns;.
When the Yanks found the foraging
slender,
She fed them, but buried their
guns.
No matter what Longstreet and
Robert E. Lee did,
My gran was secesh, and she stayed
seceded.
But the Yanks arc coming
Out of the South
With beaten biscuit
In every mouth;
Their stomachs are stayed,
Beyond all guessing,
On chitlings and chicken
And corn-bread dressing-.
From Carolina, from Alabam’
Come the rarin’, tearin’, don’t-give-
a-damn
Johnny Rebs with their brand-new
name;
O grandmother, grandmother, think
of the shame?
(Or no; better not, my adorable
hellion;
This is no time for a new Rebel-
lion.) —Dorothy Kissling.

Keep Your Roaster Working For You
i r . .1 Ja nni nil in
On o rooster-oven, you can do
almost any kind of cooking that
you can on o range. Not on as
grand a scale, perhaps—but equally
well.
When using an electric roaster,
take care that it is not plugged Into
a circuit on which ony other appli-
ance with a heating element is
connected. It may overload the
circuit.
For the same reason, do not plug
cord for body of roaster and broiler
on sama circuit. Don't use an ex-
tension cord, either.
Never connect rooster-oven to a
drop cord from the ceiling. The
wire may not be suitable for such
heavy duty. Use a wall plug.
The inset pan is left in for most
cooking. Place smaller utensils in
Inset pan, never in the shell of
rooster itself.

# CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
Mrs. Ben Thornton, Route 1, Bay
City, wrote this poem for our read-
ers;
Hitler talks about his drive,
Just what he’s gonna do
With his mililon men or more,
When the snow starts melting
through.
If Russia’s doing all she says,
We hope that she’s not suttering,
She’s doing all that’s in her power
To wipe out Hitler’s muttering.
She’s fighting back, hitting hard,
She’s scalping as she goes,
She’s got old Hitler stripping beds
And taking people’s clothes.
Some day his light will flicker out,
I’m sure it’s getting dim—
Just what old Russia has for him
It won’t be neat and trim.
He’ll wish that he had kept his
boats
To play upon his waters,
His airplanes and his doggoned
Bombs that he dropped and scat-
tered.
His hate and greed will never rule
Or never mar our colors,
For America stands hand-in-hand
To fight and die together.
Behind old Russia who’s struggling
On for freedom and existence,
Some day Hitler’s tide will turn
And Adolph will be missing.
Old Uncle hasn’t started yet,
He’s getting all in trim,
He’s building great big ships and
guns
Before he marches in.
We know 'that he will be on guard,
And will not be found napping,
When Victory rings he’ll be on top,
For nothing will be missing.
Guns ond planes, soldiers brave,
Ships to scan the seas,
Big fat bombs to drop on
Some of our enemies.
