Dickens Dies Suddenly of Heart Attack Funeral Services Will' Be Held At 2:30 Today; Interment In Panama City Ben Hill Dickens, 61, a resident of Gulf county for the past 18 years and of Port St. Joe for 7 years, passed away at his home Monday night following a heart attack. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist Church with Rev. 0. D. Langston officiating. Interment will be in the Panama City ceme- -ery. Captain Dickens, as ,he was fa- miliarly called., was -born in Cal- houn county in 1883 and in 1906 married, Miss Annie Elizabeth Mc- D'aniel. The young couple moved to Bay county in 1907 and were among the earliest settlers on the peninsula where Tyndall Field is now located. In 1915 they moved to Panama City where Mr. Dickens was prominent in civic affairs un- til 1926, when the family moved to Wewahitchka. When development of Port St. Joe began. in 1937, the family came here to make their home. Mr. Dickens was employed by the prison bureau of the state de- partment of agriculture, for 25 years prior, to I ,- d.iar aig,'wa a close friend and valued, employee or Nathan Mayo, commissioner of agriculture. He was called in to. handle convict strikes, or any sort of disturbance, all over the state gnd was considered to have more influence and: control over con- victs and understood them better than anyone else. He was a mem- ber of district welfare board No. 2 for the past six years and was elected board chairman this year. He was a member and steward of the Port St. Joe Methodist Church and a member of the local Kiwanis Club. At all times he took an active part in civic affairs of the city, county and. state,.

Mosely, Jr., of this, city; a 'brother, George L. Dickens of Mobile, Ala., and a large number of nieces and neph- ews in Bay and; Gulf counties. , MILK DELIVERY TO START HERE JAN. 2 After doing without a milk de- livery service for a considerable time, the only milk available being that shipped in from Wisconsin, residents of Port St. Joe will soon be able to secure "home grown" milk and cream again.

"Many registrants, age 30 and over, are now in Class I-A and I TH E must be ordered. for induction," 1 T said Collins, "because they or their employer have failed to furnish the local board with current infor- mation regarding their work.

But our heritage has not forsaken uis. In the good old American tradition, we hayp come through another year. It is true that it has not been normal. It is likewise true that we have not enjoyed the, happiness and luxuries to which .we are accustomed.

On January 1, 1945, I shall be facet with the very unpleasant task of writing to the Florida War Fund headquarters to tell them that the Gulf county War Fund, is $445 short because some 500 Gulr county citizens were asked to con- tribute $2 and some 10 merchants were asked, to contribute $10 or $5 (the others gave), and, they turned away, some with vague promises, some with not even so much as a "no." That is what I should like to say, but I won't say it, because I respect the feelings of the peo- ple in my county, though I wonder if they all res-pect mine. Is it because you forgot? Is it because you do not think it worta- while? Thank heaven our military leaders do not think so. The other night a young soldier-a very gen- tlemanly and well-bred soldier- asked me if ftere was a USO In Port St. Joe where he could ge5 a bed for the night. I took him to my home, just as many other loyal American's ara doing -every day. He must have thought it worth- while, too. To you people who so gener- ously gave, we are sincerely grate- ful. To you who perhaps forgot, 1 am making this one last appea'. WILL YOU GIVE BEFORE JANU- ARY FIRST? Respectfully, HARRY McKNIGHT, Chairman Gulf County War Fund (National War Fund).
