Game Commission Director
Is Fired At Johns Order

TALLAHASSEE N-The Florida
Game and Fresh Water Fish Com
mission today fired Director
Charles w. Pace and Commission
Chairman Miller v. Joiner Of Jack
sonyille made it plain the action
was dictated by Acting Cow Johns.
The commission hired State Rep.
E. B. Shorty Jones of Madison, a
key worker in Johns unsuccessful
gubernatorial campaign, to replace
Pace in the $7,700 year job.
The commission met in special
session to fire Pace after closed
meeting with Johns and his ex-
ecutive assistant, Leonard Pepper,
In the governors Office.
Commission regulations require
q weeks notice for commission
meetings, but an opinion from the
attorney general was obtained to
sanction the special session if all
commissioners waived the notice.
Joiner opened the meeting by
saying it had been called "pri-
marily to dispense with services"
of the director and he would enter
tain a motion to that effect.
II asked Mr.. Pace II he was
willing to resign. He said no. If he
will not resign move we discharge
him." Commissioner M. G. Rowlett
Of wildwood said.
Pace told the commissioners "I'd
just like to say that I'm sorry to
see that politics has taken over
the commission in this way. / hope
someday 1t will be restored to its
constitutional status"
Fuller Warren set the pattern of
making the commission q political
football" Joiner said.
"Gov. McCarty brought in Pace
with bunch of new commission
ers. He who lives by the sword
must die by the sword so I'm not
sorry about that. But maybe the
next man will let us operate as a
constitutional agency. The public
set up the commission as an indie
pendent agency, but we're not al
lowed to be. Politics is injected
into everything we do"
L. G.. Morris of Monticello, ap-
pointed Tuesday by Johns to re-
place E. w. Hinson, whom he had
suspended from the commission,
commented that the commission
had its very foundation in politics,
since the Constitution provides that
the governor appoint the five COM
missioners.
Employment of Jones was moved
by Mrs. Dana Boose Of St. Peters
burg, named by Johns yesterday
to replace suspended A. Sterling
Hall Of Bradenton.
Answering reporters question
the commissioners said Jones had
been mentioned but not recon-
mended by Johns. Mrs. Boose said
he was her choice, and she had
mentioned his name to Pepper.
Jones has been employed by the
State Road Department since the
Democratic primaries campaign.
Johns some time ago asked the
commission to place its insurance
with his friend. A. ]. Cobb Of Mari
anna. Instead, the commission
gave the policies to Midyette.M Moor
of Tallahassee. Johns then ordered
his signature withheld from state
checks to pay the premiums.

Plea for Peace for
Israel Voiced Before
Augusta Womon's
Group

AUGUSTA, Ga. - A plea for
peace for Israel and surrounding
countries was voiced by Mrs. /.
D. Shapiro, guest speaker of the
North Augusta Woman's Club at
their November business meeting
held in the recreation hall of the
Grace Methodist Church.
Mrs. Shapiro was introduced by
Mrs. T. Milton Hill. The talented
and gifted .Hadassah representa-
tive told of her tour, along with
81 other Hadassah women, thru
the most historic, yet youngest OF
nations, Israel. The group wit
messed violence at times and were
constantly aware of the imminent
danger which seemed to cloud
over this nation as it struggles to
make a peaceful home for dis
placed Jews from all over the
world.
So far Hadassah has rehabili-
tated $4,000 children and are now
bringing into Israel from outside
countries, 400 children a month to
educate. Although she witnessed
great food shortages the people
claim that food is not their prob
lem, but peace, and they beg that
arms not be sent to warning ma
tons but food, medicine, clothing,
farm implements, etc.

Does Your
Name Rank?

The commonest name in
the United States is Smith.
The next two, tying for End
place, are Brown and John
SON.. Williams and Miller
rank next and Jones takes
9Th place. Surprising, isn't
it? Davis is in 7th place,
another surprise, too. Then
comes Anderson, Wilson !,
Taylor to complete the LIST
ten.
The next 10 are somewhat
difficult to guess. Thomas
Moore, White, and Mar
tim lead off. Then come
Thompson, Jackson, 'Har-
ris', and Lewis. Allen is
18th and-you'd never guess
what was 20th-'Nelson' .
Of the LIST 20, 6 of them end
with the syllable SON.
One theory for the pre-
dominance of Smith over
all other names is thusly
explained. The name origi-
nally meant an all-round me-
chanic or engineer. In the
primitive days this citizen
proved more useful to COM
munity life than any other.
Consequently, even in war
times, he was kept at home,
to hew out the implements
of war. He was too valuable
to be sent to the front. A

that 239, 1858 farm homes have been
influenced toward better home
making practices as result OF the
home demonstration program.
Nearly $4,000 of these homes were
reached last year for the first time
by the 428 colored home agents and
supervisors and some $4,000 volun
teer leaders of homemakers in the
II Southern states.
Some of their specific accomp-
lishments include assisting $4,000
families in improving their diets,
100000 in producing more food
for home use, $4,000 with food
preservation problems, $4,000 in
improving their housekeeping, 3d.
900 with clothing construction
problems, and $4,000 in improving
family relationships.
Complementing the staff of home
demonstration agents are 40 col
ored farm agents and supervisors
who help farmers with technical
problems relating to the production
of crops and the raising of live
stock and poultry. The work Of the
farm and home agents is one means
by which the Immigrant colleges
extend their educational program
beyond their campuses to rural
people in their homes and their
farms. Altogether, these agents

to improve the situation at Sports
man Park, relative to Negro play
ers. In view of these facts we
feel very keenly the un-Democratic
attitude taken by the powers that
be, an attitude outmoded, far
fetched and out of line with pres
ent day trends, also since we the
Negroes of Greenville, have given
our time, money, presence and
moral support without our being
parshionious, which seems unap-
preciated and an un-democratic
stand by what we thought a very
liberal city. This is not a matter
of Indignation, but discriminating
against Miss issippi's potential
Jackie Robinsons and Roy Campo
nellas on an economic plan.
We feel that the Greenville
Bucks policy making was anything
but generous, and in fact, is a slap
6n the face to some of their most
potentially loyal supporters.
Be it resolved that We the Ne
groes will refrain from attending
any and all games played in
Sportsman Park.
Be it resolved that we will not
enter Sportsman Park, and will do
all in our power to keep others
away until there is a change in at
titude.
