Sharit was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Rotary club yesterday noon at the Port Inn, taking for his main topic the post-war plans that are in the offing for Port St. Joe. He stated that representatives of the Federal Works Agency and Lae, state department of education were here recently' to inspect the local school plant and felt that they could recommend the addition of six or eight new class rooms and a new auditorium. They also inspected the new school site near :he Centennial Building and were greatly impressed with it. Mr. Sharit also said, that repre- sentatives of the FWA and the state department of health are ex- pected to visit the city soon to in- spect the; water system and dis- cuss a project for the construction of a water treating and softening plant. They will also discuss an addition to the municipal hospital, which at present is overcrowded. Continuing with his discussion of post-war plans,. Sharit said he would like to see an extension of the water and, sewer systems, especially in the colored quarters. where sanitary facilities are, bad. He said also that he would like to see more of the city's streets paved' and a new city hall and jail erected. Mayor Sharit said he, would likl to see the shipping facilities of our port developed, and, especially the Chattahoochee Apalachicola water system, which could be de- veloped into a great feeder for this city. Closing his talk, the mayor said that one of the assured post-war projects for this city was the con- struction of a modern hotel. Horace Soule, chairman of the Fifth War' Loan Drive,' outlined plans for the forthcoming 'cam- paign, telling Rotarians' of the many exhibits that the Army has signified will be hero to aid in the drive. He was assured that the club would do its utmost in put- ting the city over in the drive. SUNNY STATE SERVICE NOW DOING RECAPPING The Sunny State Service Station, operated by W. C.

ROCHE Kenney Mercantile Company Groceries Meats Dry Goods Fresh Fish Shrimp Oysters GREATER LOSS TO TOJO The favorite battlefield tale at Cape Gloucester, New Britain, in the South Pacific, deals with a Marine who spotted a Jap sniper climbing a tree. It was a tall tree and a long, difficult climb, and the, Marine 'lay patiently behind a log and just watched. Then, as the Jap started to swing himself into position, the Marine fi-r'ed a single shot, and tn, Jap came tumbling down. Wounded later in the day, the Marine was brought to a field hos- pitgal for treatment. Laconically, he told the story to inquiring corpsmen. "Why didn't you shoot him while he was an easy mark at the bot- tom of the tree?" demanded one. The Marine grinned.

Our Country Right or Wrong CALDWELL FOR GOVERNOR Last week in our lead editorial, The Star went on record as supporting unreservedly, in the present state gubernatorial contest, the candidacy of Millard F. Caldwell. To emphasize that we are not alone in this sentiment, we take the liberty of reprinting- a few excerpts from editorials which have appeared recently in other Florida newspa- pers, voicing convictions similar to our own: * S.. The wise man will select a candidate for governor in whom he can place his entire trust, no matter what unusual situation may develop, a man who has been tried and found true, a bulwark of strength and character from whom he can confidently expect fair and sound decisions for the best interest of the state as a whole. We believe that man is Millard Caldwell.-Pensacola Journal. * Personally, Caldwell is personable, em- phatic.in declaring his views, an impressive public speaker, one whose demeanor inspired respect and confidence.-Tamp Tribune. Politically, Millard 'Caldwell has never been either a fence builder or a fence straddler. That's the kind of a man Florida could use quite well for its next governor, in the opint ion of many observers.-Clearwater News. *' * Never one of what are termed the rubber stamp legislators, Caldwell opposed nullmerous starry-eyed pieces of harum-scarum legisla- tion which were thrown into the congressional hopper by New Dealers of multi-colored hue. -Jacksonville Post. Before going to congress in 1932, Mr. Cald- well had held a series of public jobs of the type that requires a man to keep his feet planted on the solid earth. .. He was liked in Washington and he is liked in Tallahassee., -Lakeland Ledger. The fellow who is hungry can't waitf or the next harvest, says Millird Caldwell, and he proposes to do something about the long de- lays to which applicants for assistance are subjected. He's one man who can be de- pended upon to really do something about it. -Washington County News. * Millard Caldwell is the poorest promiser .. but his record in his eigHt years of congress, representing the Third Florida District, shows he never failed to ring the bell when an im- portant job was to be done. Any man chosen a second time to represent congress in inter- national conferences can't be discounted. He did just that at The Hague and Oslo, Norway. Florida must have just such a strong char- acter, jus such a high type of man for its next governor.-Columbia (azetfe. Irhese and many more such unsolicited tes- timonials of Millard :aldwell's character and ability, deserve the impartial consideration of ev ry voter in Guilf county. L~t's go to the polls next Tuesday and ,Wl^- -- - ADVERTISING WITH A MORAL The Florida Power Corporation lately has been running eye-catching advertisements in The Star, and 'one published about three weeks ago, showing 1000 faces of imaginary. people, has been sticking in our mind. In the midst of the 1000 is one oversized face repre- senting the one person in 1000 who knows that electricity is the smalles item and the biggest bargain in the family budget. While this greatly exaggerates lack of public knowl- edge on the subject, it reveals more power- fully than words that far too many people are uninformed on facts which mean the breath of life to this nation. Every face in that advertisement has a flcsh and blood counterpart with the power to vote. According to their understanding, they will, in the long run, preserve or destroy not just the local power company, but all. pri- vate activity and enterprise. At this moment, in the .midst of a terrible war to save liberty and opportunity, a power- ful minority group in the federal government is working to -socialize basic industries in the name of "general welfare." It is banking on lack of knowledge among the 1000 faces to win the day. Such tax-exempt government projects would take over the markets of ex- isting highly-taxed industries which have been built with the savings of hundreds of thou- sands of private citizens. The people can still stop this trend toward state socialism. But they can take intelligent action only if they understand that perpetu- atiol of private industry in this country is necessary to maintain the political freedom of the people. Every time we read Collier's Magazine of late we tell ourselves we're going to write a letter to the publishers. They've gone "dif- ferent" and put the page numbers at the bot- tom of the pages. If you've got a double chin like us and like to lie in bed and read, you can understand our grievance-it's almost im- possible to see the page numbers in that po- sition without holding the dadblamed maga- zine up over your head. If. there weren't so many good articles and stories in it, we'd stop reading it. Why doesn't some fellow run for president on the promise of putting blackberry pie., strawberry shortcake and corn-on-the-cob in every home in the nation. It's usually just corn they promise.-Baker County Press. Wd-untderstand that Edgar Bergen is now in "Who's Who." Charlie talked him into it. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds r or l ie n 1.

The dog, however, was then a diety of the Egytians, much' as the white cow is sacred in Burma today, which our fighting men in India are dis- covering. And because of the rev. erence in which the dog was held and worshiped, it was deemed the greatest manifestation of honor they could bestow upon the star- that of giving it the name of the Dog. Hence, with the naming of the star, Dog Days had their be- ginning. As for the Dog Star having the, effect of making dogs mad, that is a 'bunch of tommyrot there are no more mad dogs during Dog Days than any. other time of the year. A lot of so-called mad dogs are sacrificed during Dog Days because hot weather brings many ailments of dogs, to a climax. Ex- cess thirst oftimes makes a dog look "suspicious." Tainted foods, easier picked up in summer, and the dog's greatest nuisance, worms, both cause fits that are, frighten- ing to owners. 7 As I came out of the Port thea- ter the other evening two alco- holicized soldiers were standing In front of gchneider's store. Said one: "LookT- tEat sign." "Whazzit say?" inquired the other. "Shays ladies ready to wear clothes." "Well, ish mighty near time, ain't it?" said the second soldier. THE STAR, PORT ST.

LET US GO TO THE RECORD LEX GREEN and MILLARD CALDWELL were both members of the 75th Congress and voted on Sen- ate Bill 1685. This was a bill to provide the elimina- tion of unsafe and insariitary housing conditions, FOR THE ERADICATION OF SLUMS, FOR THE EREC- TION OF DECENT, SAFE AND SANITARY DWELL- INGS FOR' FAMILIES OF LOW INCOME, and for the reduction of unemployment, the stimulating of business activity and the creation of the United States Housing Authority. Lex Gdeen voted FOR the bill. Millar Caldwell voted AGAINST it. Congressional Record, VoL 81, Part 8, Page 9294. In 1926 and 1928 South Florida suffered devastat- ing storms in the Lake Okeechobee area; 3000 human beings lost their lives. Corpses were burned in piles because the ordinary burial facilities were overwhelmed. A Republican President-elect visited the area to plan methods of preventing a repetition. A Republican Con- gress voted over ten million dollars to construct a mag nificent system of levees and dykes and drainage works to prevent for all time a repetition of this great disas- ter.j In order that this project might be carried out it was necessary for the State of Florida to co-operate by creating the Okeechobee Flood Control District. WHY WOULD ANYONE VOTE AGAINST THIS HUMAN- ITARIAN MEASURE? Millard Caldwell was one or four members recorded AGAINST the passage of the bill, House Bill No. 497. House Journal 1929, pgs. 345-0. In 1931 Millard Caldwell voted AGAINST Senate Bill No. 361 which secured to the 67 counties of Florida large revenues for worthwhile public purposes. Had his opposition to the law prevailed, the counties would -eb deprived of this revenue which now amounts to around $48,000 per county annually, and Old-Age Pen- sions could not have had ttieir recent increase.) House Journal 1931, pages 518-19. In 1931 the Florida Legislature enacted the Teach- ers' Pension Bill providing a pension for school teachers who have given 35 years of their life to Florida Public Schools and who are incapacitated and without means of adequate support. Millard Caldwell voted AGAINST this humanitarianr measure for the benefit of Florida's underpaid teachers. House Journal 1931, page 657. A group of Florida War Mothers in West Palm Beach on May 10th called on voters of the State to dedicate this election to our boys and girls in the armed forces and elect LEX GREEN Governor because of his !experience, his faith in a greater Florida, his Christian life, constructive record and valuable contacts in Wash- ington, 'all of which, they say, will contribute greatly Pto winning the war and the peace and returning our sons and daughters to a safe and sound political econ- omy. Let's join these War Mothers in voting.for LEX GREENI on May 23rd. ELECT AS YOUR NEXT GOVERNOR A MAN WHOSE RECORD SPEAKS FOR HIS INTEREST IN HUMANITY-LEX GREEN IS SUCH A MAN.

Mrs. Kenney described many of the old pieces and announces ,that Mrs. Brown had decided to make her hobby her profession.

'HEALTH IN THE SCHOOL' IS LAST STUDY GROUP TOPIC The Parent-Teachers Association study group held the last in a series of discussions on the ado- lescent child Thursday afternoon of last week. Topic was "Health In the School," and an informal discussion was carried, out headed by' Mrs. Sally Costin, Mrs. Robert Taper and Mr. Nobie Stone. The importance of health in the home as well as. in the school was stressed. The point was made to protect not only the physical health, but also the mental and emotional health of children. Alonu with this was, the urge, to improve physical environment, e.g., build- ings, water, playgrounds. Referring to specific diseases, Mr. Stone gave these figures, 3b per cent of thel rural population of Florida has hookwormn and to cope with this situation, more attentions should be given in administering treatment to those infected. He stated further that the state' o Florida leads all other states in the Union in the number of ma- laria cases; West Florida leads the state in these cases. It was concluded' as a result of the discussion that if something is to be done to rid' our schools of these and other diseases, every- one must work for a better health program in the home and in the school.
