two choice tomatoes that he had
grown in his home garden out at

raise the vegetables. Mr. Wil-
liams said that four tomatoes he

one around here top that?

Immunization for

Diphtheria Urged


With Six Cases In City, Authori-
ties Urge Parents. To Have
Children Inoculated

With six cases of diphtheria in
Port St. Joe, local health authori-
ties urge parents to have their
children immunized against this
highly communicable and danger-
ous disease.
It is pointed out that infants and
pre-school-age children are most
!susceptible to this and other com-
municable. diseases, and that the
highest rate of deaths in Florida,
I due to the diseases for which
there are protective measures, oc-
curs in these age groups.
f It-is urged, that immunization
be obtained from private, family
physicians, but those who feel fi-
nancially unable to go to a pri-
vate doctor may secure treatment
at the local health office.
Dr. E. F. Hoffman, director of
the Florida Bureau *of Epidemi-
ology, states that the number of
diphtheria cases and, deaths re-
ported each year in Florida indi-
cates that the job of protecting
our children from the disease is
far from complete. Babies should
be immunized against diphtheria
between 9 and 18 months of age,
preferably before the end of the
first year.
Dr. Hoffman recommends that
children should, be immunized
against whooping cough, smallpox
and typhoid, stating that every
person should take stock of his
health status, and parents should
bring their entire family's im-
munization (protective) status up
to date.

DEADLINE ON RENEWAL U. S.
INSURANCE POLICIES AUG. 31
Men coming out of the service
-who have had life insurance poli-
cies issued by the government and
have dropped them or plan to drop
them are. warned, by Patty Lovett,
adjutant of Willis V. iRowan Post,
American Legion, to reinstate the
policies before August 31.
"If you want to reinstate them,"
said Mr. Lovett, "and' many times
the government policies are more
economical than other kinds of in-
surance, you can do. so without'
taking a physical examination be-
fore August 31 of this year. After
that time you will have to take a
physical examination, and if you
don't pass it will be' impossible to
get the policy iPack."

In closing down the AWS post
here the War Department issued.
the following notice to volunteers:
You have hadi a unique oppor-
tunity to see and to take part in
the gradual transition from the de-
fensive position into which your
country was forced at the start of
the war to the offensive that is
today forcing our enemies back
towards Berlin and Tokyo. Many
of you have served loyally and
well in the AWS ever since. De-
cember 8, 1941. All of you have
contributed your share to, making
this transition from retreat to ad-
vance possible.
The most crucial battles of our
nation's, history are now in pros-
pect overseas. They demand the.
full, resources of our country, both
in manpower and materiel. For
that reason the War Department
has directed the reduction of air
defense measures and the release
to the offensive of trained, soldiers
who could not otherwise be brought
to bear upon the enemy.
The AWS centers, at which so
many of you have served are to be
closed. This does not mean
that the War Department is of the
opinion that all danger of enemy

Concedes Gubernatorial Nomina-
tion to Caldwell In Sharply-
Worded Statement

R. A. "Lex" Green, defeated can-
didate in the run-off race for the
governorship of Florida, last week,
' following tabulation of final re"
,turns, issued a sharply-worded
Statement conceding Millard Caldr
well's nomination' which brought
Ito the' surface, the true caliber of
this man who has, been on the pub-
lic payroll' for the, past 20 years*
and, which probably doomed; any.
political aspirations he might have
for the future.
Said Mr. Green:
"I am deeply and profoundly
grateful for: the loyalty of my
friends so well manifested yes-
terday. They worked, incessantly
and without pay in a common
cause. I do not feel that' it Is
a personal defeat, but is, a tem-
porary setback for the masses.
"I prefer 'by far to go. down
temporarily and, in honor, with
the poor man than to occupy a
purchased office: The. poor stand
serene in their defeat. The. cause
of the people lives, on.
"I have conveyed my con-
gratulations to Mr., John P.
Ingle, secretary of the Associ-
ated, Industries of Florida; Mr.
Edward Ball, manager of the
duPont interests in Florida;
over p ,o -. essard T/. 11"in ,
Sand the honorable Millard. Fill-
more Caldwell."
Mr. Gre-en's statement does not
sit well with the majority of Flor-
idiians, even those, who worked so
hard for him, if newspaper com-
'ment from all over the state, is
any criterion, especially the' part
where he refers to "purchased of-
fice."

With victory almost in sight, the
Kiwanis Club softball team went
down to defeat Wednesday night
by a score of 20 to 18 at the hands
of the Rotary team, giving the lat-
ten organization three straight
wins.
Neither team had a runner cross
the plate in tlie first inning. The
Rotarians chalked up three count-
ers in the second, six in the third,
five in the fourth and six in, the
fifth, to give them a total of 20
runs to, their opponents' two,
which came' ,in. during the, fourt-h

Feeling that the game was on

Our Country Right or Wrong

CAN'T TAKE IT!
The bitter attitude taken by Lex Green
following his defeat in the gubernatorial run-
off shows that he can't take defeat in stride,
and it also indicates that Floridians selected
the right man for the office of governor for
the next four years.
Green's statement, published on page one
of this issue, shows that Florida narrowly es-
caped four years of littleness, pettiness, bally-


hoo, cheapness and personalities, which would
have emanated from the state capitol had he
been sent there as governor.
Lex Green, always rated as a clever poli-
tician-and we say "politician," not '"states-
man," for he could never be the latter-has
signed his death warrant as far ashis politi-
cal life in Florida is concerned. For twenty
long years he has been feeding at the political
trough, but now he is through. No longer
will he be able to dip his hand into the pork
barrel and hand out juicy political patronage.
It's too bad, Lex, but it looks as though
you may be forced to work for a living unless
during your twenty years' ride on the gravy
train you socked away enough dinero to keep
you on plush for the rest of your life.

WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN
With vacation days here, motorists of Port
St. Joe are asked to be on the alert at all
times for youngsters who will be romping
everywhere, not thinking of accidents.
Have your brakes checked, keep your speed
down, watch your tires. Don't spoil any
child's vacation by injuring him; don't ruin
your life by having on your conscience the
knowledge that you have injured a child when
it could have been prevented by following
everyday simple safety rules.


ing these small inconveniences, friends of Congressman Lex Green
two of the party hitchhiked back that he got defeated for .the of-
to St. Joe to pick up another tire fice of highest honor in the state.

Well, Larry, just between you
and me, I've been planning to be
a millionaire since my early boy-
hood days, but .as yet I ain't, and
I'm not grousing about it. .. But
as for Lex Green"s ability to take
defeat showing his calibre, well,
it did.. His bitter denunciation
of *Caldwell shows exactly the cali-
bre of Lex Green-it is so small
that even the finest micrometer in
the land wouldn't even be able to
register it. I've seen a lot of
poor losers in myl time, but Lex
Green, to date, is the worst.

T HE giraffe and the turtle tell their own story.
They help to remind you that ELECTRICITY, almost
alone among household necessities, IS STILL SOLD
AT LOW PRE-WAR PRICES.
You realize HOW low these prices are when you
know that the average American family now gets
about TWICE as much electricity for its money as
it did 15 years ago.
If your bill isn't smaller, it is because you have
more electric servants and use more electricity now
than then.
It's a real achievement to keep electric service
CHEAP in spite of rising costs and taxes---and to
keep it PLENTIFUL in the face of war's tremendous
demands for power.
The credit goes largely to the hard-working men
and women of your electric company. Their skill
and experience-plus the planning and foresight
of sound BUSINESS management-have made this
record possible.
