Throughout the countless years the earth has circled the sun there always has been bound closely to human experience the vital need of alertness to danger whether the threat be occasioned by animal ferocity, human greed or the insensate aggression of a ter- rible disease. Infantile paralysis just last summer struck America the hardest blow the nation has sus- tained in the history of the disease in 28 years. However, through the public's fore- REAL HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH BEGAN IN 1835 (Continued from page 1) court, a decision was made, as stated above, by the latter tri- bunal in favor of the successors of Panton, Leslie. & Co. In the fourteen years of Ameri- can sovereignty over Florida be- fore the case was finally' adjudi- cated, immigrants had settled in the disputed area, apparently with- out paying any attention to claim of the. company. The chief settle- ment was Apalachicola, of whose history prior to 1835 very little is known. Its location at the mouth of the Apalachicola river seemed to insure a great future for the in- fant town, since, the stream ap- peared destined to become the main commercial outlet for the rich cotton district of western Georgia and eastern Alabama. The enthusiastic settlers probably vis- lon'ed a city that would rival New Orleans. In May, 1833, a newspaper, "The Advertiser", sure sign of a boom In those days, was started by R. Dinsmore Westoott. Commerce in- creased so rapidly that 40,000 'bales of cotton were shipped from the, harbor in 1835, and numerous steamers plied, up and down the river. The bustling, thriving and opti- mistic Apalachicolans were not in- clined to pay.tribute to the people to. whom' the United States su- preme court had allotted the. land. They looked about for a way to escape supporting the Apalachicola Land Co,, an organization started by the successors of Panton, Les- 1ie & 'Co., and yet not lose the profitable trade of the region. Somebody suggested the found- ing-of a rival town on' St. Joseph's Eay, some 28 miles to the north- west. Since Apalachicola was at the extreme western limit of the. Forbes Purchase, the .new settle- ment would not :be within the jur- Isdiction' of the hated company. It was, however, located in suen close proximity to the river that the enthusiastic malcontents be- lieved they could divert the river's commerce and thus- ruin the ola t6wn. The project was one that might have made reasonable men in more normal times hesitate. It was not only a question of erecting a new town, with wharves and other tra'.hng' fdcilitles, 'but means of thought in contributing dimes and dollars to l the fight against infantile paralysis, a great uoilomu olui nd sum ppu itm;pid; join tuo-id immediately. North Carolina, New York, Kentucky, Vir- ginia, Pennsylvania -to these and, other stricken states, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis sent doctors, nurses, phys- ical therapy technicians, as well as respira- tors, supplies and financial aid. Because of the alertness of that organiza-1 tion and its chapters, the best of medical care was renedred every victim, regardless of age, race, creed or color. Your dimes and dollars helped make that possible. It is a good thought to bear in mind during this 1945 March of Dimes. And, incidentally, the drive will be continued in Gulf county until Janu- ary 10, due to the fact that it got off to a late start on account of necessary supplies being unavoidably delayed in delivery. Heard a fellow on the street the other day say that .he had tried about everything for 6. bad cold except rat poison and shoe polish. In spite what any one of us may think .about it, life is just another show that must go on and on. Horace Soule says a manicurist and a hardware dealer are something alike. .They both handle nails. easy and cheap transportation han to be devised between the river and the bay. A bayou, called Lake Wimico, extended from the' river to within a distance of eight miles from the proposed city. This lake, it was be- lieved, would furnish an easy passage for steamers after some -dredging had been done. The in- tervening land could 'be crossed either by canal or by railroad. In addition to these obstacles, there also seemed some doubt whether the bay, was deep enough for ocean vessels. However, the, promoters were undaunted, and began the most remarkable undertaking that Florida had seen up to that times, or was destined to see for many years to come.

Tuesday a stove- pipe in the old brick uildig fell and the fire alarm was sounded. Students in the top story rooms set a record for evacuating by get- ting out before the alarm sounded. Everyone from 12 up will know whether or not they have tubercu- losis, as Mr. Biggart required them to drop their scholastic duties on Monday, pile into the buses and go to the free X-ray clinic. We think Mr. Biggart should be awarded a leather medal for this precaution- ar7 measure. The student council is sponsor- Ing the polio drive in school.
