Wayne Thomas to Pensacola

Editor Harry Brown of the St.
Augustine Record, attending the
annual meeting Of the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
/ ton in session in Asheville, \. c.,
under date of July 10th sent the
! following telegram to his paper.
"Mrs. Mayes announced here
today that Wayne Thomas, for
years editor of the Plant City
Courier, has been appointed to a
responsible position on the staff
of her publication, the Pensacola
journal. This will come as dis
tinct surprise to the newspaper
fraternity of Florida, as it was
believed Mr.. Thomas was a fixture
in the thriving South Florida city
he had so long called home. Mrs.
Maves said there was no objection
to the St. Augustine Rec rd max
ing announcement of Mr.. Thomas
acceptance of The Journals at
tractivc offer.
This is sad news for South
Florida. which suffers a serious
loss in the removal of Wayne
Thomas to West Florida. Such
men as he, whether editors, pub
lie officials or simple citizens, are
of incalculable value to the sec
tons in which they reside. We
have a feeling of real grief at los
ing Wayne Thomas from this sec
ton, but this is soothed by the
knowledge that South Florida
will henceforth have in West
Florida a loyal friend who will
continue to do all that he can to
promote its interests.
If we should print all thai we
know about the personal high
character and editorial brilliance
of Wayne Thomas, it might sound
like an obituary, which always
abounds in eulogy of the subject;
wherefore, we refrain. But we
will congratulate Mrs. Mayes on
having secured the help of a
prince among gentlemen and edit
0rs and one whom-well, we don t
know how to say it, but Mrs.
Maves is a charming widow and
Wayne Thomas is courtly wild
over; and, if their business rela-
tons should progress into other,
closer and more pleasant rela-
tions-well, yes, the. whole state
press would unanimously offer en-
thusiastic congratulations.

The esteemed Moore Haven
Times is assured that The Herald,
in saying that it was reported that
q food had fallen at Moore Hav-
ven, did not have the slightest IN
tcntion of knocking" that pro-
grcsSive little city. The Herald
was mentioning the unprecedent-
ed deluge at Jacksonville and in
cidentally mentioned the report
that Moore Haven had had a
somewhat similar down-pour.
Glad to know the report was in
correct. The Herald has publish
ed many boosting items about
Moore Haven and will continue to
do so, for that town deserves all
the good things that are said
about it.

Times-Union of Friday has a
very good editorial commencing
the appropriateness of the name
of Florida. The editorial was
based on the idea that the Spanish
discoveries gave the state that
name because, when they first
saw il, it was radiant with flow
ers. That has long been the pop
ular belief, but we read in some
book or other that the state was
discovered ON a Spanish fete day
called Pascua Florida, meaning
the Feast of Flowers, which sug-
gested the name. We doubt if
the Spaniards sailing along the
Atlantic coast saw any flowers at
all.

FEATURES

The CaloriC is the original

and which imitators dare not
copy.
The patented CaIoriC di-
vision plate, with the straight
flush front construction, gives
greater air circulation, in
creases the heating capacity,
