KIWANIS NEWS

The committee for the under-
privileged -child, under the direc-
tion of Past President J. R. Nor-
ton, reports outstanding achieve-
ments during the, past few months.
Through its efforts, examinations
ani treatments wre made for four
hookworm cases, one tonsilectomy,
medical care for an aged man, eye
treatment for a child, and medical
treatment for an aged negro. Be-
sides these, a patient is now under-
going, treatment for defective vis-
ion, anemia, hookworm and in-
fected tonsils. With this impress
sive 'beginning, the committee bids
fair to make a remarkable record
for itself for the current year.
The membership extends, deep-
est gymplthy to Kiwanian John
Maddox, Jr., and his family in the
loss of his father, Capt. John Mad-
dox, beloved citizen, Who passed
away last Friday morning.
Thursday night of last week,
Lieutenant Governor "Crig" Crig-
ler paid the club a surprise, visit.
He was making his usual rounds
in the Northwestern Division and
popped in to sit with the club. He
made' his usual checkup on the
culb's affairs and gave us a clean
bill of health, highly commended
us, on our activities and club spirit
and was. somewhat amazed at the
98 per cent attendance record we
rang up for the month 'of April.
,Speaker at last week's meeting
was Fred T. Barnett of Lakeland,
director of narcotics education for
the Florida Co-operative Commit-
tee. Mr. Barnett gave a very in-
-structive lecture on alcoholic drink
and its ill effects on the human
body. He offered conclusive proof
that it is not the "drunken" driver
who is responsible for so many ac-
cidents on the highways but the
"drinking" driver, and pointed out
that alcohol lowers the mental
powers and thete ability to act
quickly! at the sign of danger, thus
lessening the driver's ability to
avoid, accidents. He also stated
that alcohol has practically no food
value, contrary to a popular notion.
Lieut. Gov. Crigler will represent
the club at the International con-
vention in June. For the duration
Kiwanis International conventions
will 'be limited to International and
district officers and' trustees.

Rotary Wins Soft

Ball Game 25 to 20

Kiwanians Fall Before Slugging of
Opponents In Hot and
Hectic Battle

(This story was held over from
last week.-Ed.)
In what is: hoped will ,be the
first of a series of softball games,
the Rotary Club Wednesday eve--
ning downed the Kiwanians 25 to
20 in a fast and furious tilt on the'
Centennial diamond under the arc
lights.
Lack of space will not permit
giving a play-by-play account of
the entire seven innings, so we
will confine ourselves to the first,
which is representative of the re-
mainder.
The Rotarians won the toss and
took first bats. Horace Soule led
off with a one-bagger; Floyd Hunt
bunted andl outran the throw to
first, since Doec Norton, pitching'
was too slow in getting to the pill;
Ted Morris walked and S. L. Barke
sacrificed to bring in Soule for
the first run. Clay Lewis hit thru
the entire field for what could
have been a two-bagger, but his
averd-upoise would only allow him
to make first base; Hunt "and Mor-
ris' crossed home, plate. Ben Rivers
hit a Texas leaguer for one bag;
W. A. Biggart walked and H. R.
Maige, hit Pitcher Norton who
picked, up the ball and caught
Rivers at third as Lewis came in.
Bas Kenney Jr., made a hit, and
Maige was, out at second for fhe
third, out.
Terry Hinote led off for the Ki-
wanians and was, promptly fanned
by Pitcher Barke much to the joy
of the rest of the Rotary team,
who had visions of .three up and
three down (Terry alibied that he
had just got up out of bed). Harry
McKnight and Tom Owens were
walked; 3J: C., Farnell hit a Texas
eager and McKnight and Owens
advanced. ; Ed Ramsey hit a single
and McKnight came in for the
irst score amid Kiwanis cheers.;
N. F. Allemore clunked out one
nd Owens crossed the plate for
he second) counter; Peck Boyer
poled out a two-base hit, scoring
Parnell, Ramsey and, Allemore to
ut the Kiwanians in the lead.
Jake "Babe Ruth" White knocked
homer to bring In Boyer and
make the score 7-4. Franklin
Tones took Barke for a two-bagger
s did Doc Norton. :Hinote then
ame to bat for the second time in
ie inning and pofped out to Mor-
is who tossed the ball to Rivers
o catch Doc Norton off the bag
or the third out to end the inning.
-And this. went on for seven
nings!
Pitching for the Kiwanis, off
nd' on, were Doc Norton, Welton
oche, George Wimlberly and Jim-
lie Williams. Barke, tossing for
he Rotary, blew up in the long-
rawn-out third and Floyd Hunt-
ok over the mound.
Other Highlights Doc A. L.
'ard spent a. ,pt of time rolling
bout on the ground'; Jake White
uffed quite a number right in
s hands; Gus Oreeich took one
n the chin that dazed him for a
moment and had him looking for
e ball where it wasn't.; E. Clay
ewis made some nice hits, but F
s belly wouldn't 'et hitn take
ore than one bag'or 'em; Hor-
e Soule got rubber legs; Norton
st two pounds oft his waistband.
S'UOMiARY .Runs: Too many.
its: We lost couht. Errors: By
e hundred. 'Rlesults: A wonder-
1 evening 'was enjoyed 'by all.

larly for your support of our Government's war effort
Numerous war establishments in your state and vast ex.

to your achievements, but beyond and above this, you have
worked, diligently and unselfishly with your Administration for
the general high achievements which our nation has made In
war production and in actual combat. You have done" your full
part and your state should be proud of this matchless record.
Your courage, ability and experience is recognized by your
assignment on eight regular standing committees, including a
chairmanship, which is more than held' by any other member,
In addition to these high committee assignments you have made
a record in the length of time served and upon your actual ac-
complishments as Assistant .Party Whip. These capacities Of
responsibility and leadership did not come by accident, but came
as a result of your ability, character and actual merit. Your
devotion to duty, rugged honesty and sincerity at all times has
won for you the confidence and esteem of t" entire House

We have at all times been able to depend upon you In the

here has been during a period of our nation's greatest history
and I dare say that no other Congressman can justly point to
achievements greater than yours. Your excellent and conptrue-

are unquestioned. He understand's Florida's problems and
has the wisdom, judgment and honesty to serve as Gov-
ernor. As Governor he will serve the poor and needy, as
well as the rich. With him, all are equal in Government.
He has accomplished more for Florida in the Congress than
any other Congressman. His ability has been recognized
and highly commended by many of our Nation's leaders.

Our Country Right or Wrong


LET'S ELECT CALDWELL GOVERNOR
The all-important issue of who shall be the
.state's next governor has, as a result of the
first primary, been narrowed down to two
able and aggressive candidates-Millard Cald-
,well and Lex Green. Both men have long
records of distinguished public service. Each,
we believe, is sincere in his avowed determi-
nation to devote himself selflessly to Florida's
interests in the event he is elected.
The question of who shall be invested with
this signal honor and responsibility, then, re-
solves itself into one of choosing the man
,who by .temperament, background, personal-
ity, business ability and inherent dignity is
best fitted for the job.
We believe that Millard Caldwell is that
man, and it is our belief that the majority of
the voters in Gulf county are of the same
opinion.
Experience has trained Caldwell for the
governorship., At the prime of life, in his
47th year, he has lived in the small town, has
served as a county .prosecutor and attorney,
twice ser-\ ed his county in the state legisla-'
ture, represented'his congressional district for
eight years in the national congress and-twice
was sent by his colleagues in the house as
their delegate to the Interparliamentary
Union, at the Hague in 1938 and at Oslo in
1939, and is a member of the executive coun-
cil of the American group.
In congress Caldwell served his 16-county
district fairly and efficiently. Through move-
ments he began have come great wartime de-
velopments -for Florida-notably Eglin Field
Which Caldwell started years ago as a small
gunnery base for ,he Army Air Corps.
He was the first Floridian to serve on the
important house appropriations committee,
and he was chairman of its subcommittee on
expenditures for the District of Columbia.
The high regard in which he was held by his
colleagues was demonstrated by his chair-
manship of the house patronage committee.
Thus, by experience 'from the small town
attorney to the international delegate, Cald-
well is possessed of those higher qualifica-
tions-moral integrity, honor, absolute fair-
ness-in which the people of Florida must
place their confidence for the troublous years
ahead.
Caldwell's platform, too, is sane and all-
embracing. ;His -stand for higher wages ior
school teachers, with pensions, and a general
extension of educational service, increased old
age pensions, acceleration of experimental and
research work -in agriculture .and livestock,
more aggressiveness with respect to the tour-
ist trade, increased reforestation and addi-
tional aid to the citrus industry should recom-
mend him to the majority of voters. His in-
tention to simplify government, defend state
rights against encroachment 'by the federal
government, protect the people's interest hin
the matter of granting privileges for explor-
ing state land for oil and minerals, are other
points in his favor. Also, he has made definite
and constructive promises with respect to
Postwar planning, postwar aviation and th'e
fis-ing industry.
Caldwell enjoys a reputation of being a


"doer" rather than a promiserr." One state
columnist sums him up as follows: "There is
nothing flashy about him-unles you call a
pair of searing eyes and a strong chin flashy.
But there's plenty of strength in Millard Cald-
well's face; a sense of tranquility, quiet power
and great dormant courage."
Those are virtues Florida needs in a gov-
ernor in the difficult days which lie ahead.
Possessing them in generous measure, Mil-
lard Caldwell, in our opinion, deserves in the
forthcoming election runoff, the support of
every citizen of Gulf county who has the in-
terests of his state at heart.

HOW TO BE A CONGRESSMAN
To hear court congressmen talk, one would
be ledato believe that they slave from dawn
to dusk, working only for the welfare of the
"deer peepul." However, be that as it may,
we won't quibble over the matter, but will
reprint a play-by-play account of the proceed-
ings of the house of representatives for Wed-
nesday, April 12, the first business day after
its Easter vacation, and let our readers judge
just how hard their congressmen are working
for them. We quote from the Congressional
Record of that date as follows:
The House met at noon. The Chaplain of-
fered a prayer. The Journal was read and ap-
proved. The Hon. W. G. Stigler, newly-elected
from the Second Oklahoma District, presented
himself and took the oath of office.
Brief eulogies were delivered memoralizinig
two former members who had died.
The Navy appropriations bill was reported,
referred to the calendar and ordered printed.
Two members asked and received unant-
mous consent to insert newspaper editorials
into the Record.
A resolution to grant six months' pay to
the. widow of a former employee of the House
was passed.
Five members asked and received consent
to insert remarks into the Record.
M. Edwin Arthur Hall, of New York, ad--
dressed the House for one minute, urging
furlough transportation for servicemen.
Ten members asked and received consent
to insert into the Record speeches, editorials,
poems, etc. Typical is the request of Mr. Bry-
son of South Carolina, who wanted further to
circulate a poem written by one of his con-
stituents and printed in the Saturday Evening
Post.
Mr. O'Toole, of New York, addressed the
House for one minute urging that policemen
and firemen be exempted from selective ser-
vice.
Three members asked and received consent
to insert speeches and editorials into the
Record.
Mr. Taber, of New York, addressed the
House for one minute denouncing the Office
of 'War Information.
Three members asked and received consent
to insert remarks, editorials and articles into
the Record.
Mr. 'Hebert, of Louisiana, spoke for 30 min-
.-ites denouncing his former friend and co-
worker, the editor of the New Orleans States,
declaring that he "had strayed from the path
of decency and honesty."
Mr. Hoffman, of Michigan, spoke for 15
minutes denouncing the Chicago Sun, praising 8
the Chicago Tribune, denouncing the New
Deal and praising Ric'hard Lyons, Illinois 'Re-
publican nominee for the Senate. t

STARDUST and THESE ARE OUR

MOONSHINE JEWELS!


By THE OTHER FELLOW


You should have seen E. Clay
Lewis, out there working with the
fire hoses last week when Free-
man's boarding house caught on
fire. Don't know whether, he was
doing it just for the fun of it, or
working up a few votes. And
since he got retired from the job
of representative he's sorta shed
his official dignity. Out there at
the softball game, between the Ro-
tary and! Kiwanis& lubs he really
enjoyed, himself, and proved to be
a batsman of no mean ability, even
though he couldn't run fast enough
to more than get to first on a
three-base hit.
Mrs. A. D. Lawson. is worried
that windiw-crashing cars will be
up to her building on the corner.
First it was Schneider's store
that lost a window ana then Miles
5 and 10. Looks like they're work-
ing up the street toward the Law-
son building.
We saw Mrs. W. T. Mosley rush-
ing breathlessly up to her father,
B. H. Dickens, the other day on
the sidewalk byi the postoffice and
asking if there was. any mail for
he.r. What's the matter, Estelle,
hasn't W. T. been writing lately?
Gene Holley was called up and
couldn't make the grade. He's now
a 4-F'er, we understand. Looks
like a big husky looking guy like,
him would have made it, but you
never can tell. Opp Moore
has got his call andi is looking for-
ward expectantly to May 20. "I'm
glad it came," says he. "I've been
looking for it for about a .year.
Now the suspense is over."
A local man and his wife had a
squalblble Monday afternoon. It
seems that his wife owns a parrot
and that hubby didn't like the bird
because it stole his pipe tobacco
all the time. He threatened to
throw the parrot out the -window


With next Sunday marking the
war's third 'Mother's Day, comes
to our mind a legend we first read
in a dogeared history BIook during
our school days. Intervening years
have somewhat dimmed its details
for us, but not its meaning.
Many centuries ago, when the
citizens of Rome were called upon
to lend their wealth and precious
gems to the support of their war-
ring government, the mother of
the Gracchus family a family
that was to 'become great in Ro-
man history-callede her strapping
sons to her side and gave them
into the service of their country
with these words, "These are my
jewels!"
It is a coincidence of war and
history that American 'boys are
fighting now in the same land
where the mother of the Gracchl
spoke for all mothers of soldiers.
For the mothers of America have
also given their, "jewels"-stalwart
young fighting men--gems with
the strength of granite.
But what about Mother herself?
Does she not have her own gem-
like qualities? Is she not, to every
mother's- son of us, as constant as
diamonds, as matchless as perfect
pearls? For many years, from her
sons and daughters, she has been
receiving Mother's Day gifts and
cards that praise her enduring vir-
tues, but certainly this year such
sentiments, speak of love grown
even deeper through another year
of war, and thus another year of
separation from her own.
We think of the niillions of
American Mothers who go de-
terminedly about their self-as-
signed job of making -happy homes
a4d pretending that Johnny's room
and Mary's room are not empty
for the duration. It seebis to us
that every gift sent to Mother on
Mother's Day, with Its, tribute to

P.-T. A. COMPLETES MUCH
WORK DURING YEAR
A resume of work done and
projects completed was given by
committee chairmen of the Port
St. Joe Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion at the' last regular meeting of
the year held Thursday of last
week in the high school auditor-
ium.
The year. started, with a suc-
cessful membership drive under
the chairmanship of Mrs. W. S.
Quarles for a final total of 124
members. The next project under-
two sets of teaching maps if the
taken was the annual Hallowe'en
carnival to raise funds to carry
out the year's work, and a total of
$273.45 was cleared at this affair.
Of this money, $75 was given to
the .grammar school for books.
It was found' that maps were
badly needed in the school for
teaching. The P.-T. A. contacted
the school 'board, to see what could
be done to secure some. The board
stated that they would purchase
P.-T. A. could purchase one. This
was agreed to, and now three fine
sets of maps are in use.
The high school band was given
$25 requested for music, and $20.20
was donated for needed, equipment
in the lunchroom.
A conimfi-fee, composed 'of Mrs.
J. T. Ricketson, Mrs. E. M. Bowen
and. Mrs. Edwin Ramsey was given
$25 to equip a first aid room for
students who might 'become ill in
school. This' room is now in use,
fully equipped with two hospital
cots, sheets, towels, first aid ne-
cessities and other items.
Mrs. Ned Porter, home room
chairman, undertook an entirely
new project this' year. Calling a
meeting .of all home room mothers,
she uiged that a project be under-
taken to improve the 20 school
classrooms. This was done. The
P.-T. A. gave, $75 to this project,
but the greater part of the money
was raised by the individual rooms
through candy, baked goods and
sandwich sales. The actual work
done was of much more import-
ance than the cash contribution.
There has been a long-felt need
for playground equipment in the
local schools. At present there is
$65 in the P.-T. A. treasury for
playground, equipment; $25 of this
was. given by the Rotary Club, $15
by the Kiwanis Club and $25 by
the' P-T. A. There is an additional
individual gift of $100. With this
total of $165, the fall opening of
school will see adequate play-
ground equipment installed.
Special thanks for hard' jobs
well done are due Mrs. Massey
Ward, hospitality; chairman, who,
with hen committee, was resepon-
sible for delicious, refreshments at
the meetings, and 'Mrs. T. V. Mor-
ris, program 'chairman, who ar-
ranged educational and interesting
programs for all meetings.
At the May 4 meeting, officers
for next year were installed as
follows: Mrs. Basil E. Kenney Jr.,
president; Mrs.. Edwin Ramsey,
vice-president; Mrs. J. R. Smith,,
secretary; Mrs'. Massey Ward,
treasurer, and Mrs. Paul Fensom,

cation.
