Sitting In With the Lawmakers By RUSSELL KAY Swinging into its second week with both house and senate well organized and' ready for action, the legislature tackled its job in earnest. The way was paved for prompt action on Governor Caldlwelv's ma. jor educational bill in the senate when the amendment objectionable to the chief executive was witn- drawn.

LOCAL KIWANIANS TAKE PANAMA IN SECOND TILT In a return engagement played at Panama City Wednesday night, the Port St. Joe Kiwanis softball team defeated the Panama Ki- wanians by a score of 15 to 10. In a game played here the previous week the Panamanians went down .to ,defeat,b ._a score-of 13.-to l12. It was a bhangup game all around but the bats of the St. Joe soft- ballers were just too heavy for their opponents. All members of the local team played airtight ball and Alex Young was rated; as best, making a double play unassisted at third as well as. doing a per- fect fielding job. Harry McKnight was on tihe mound for Port St. Joe and Peck Boyer was behind the plate'. Frank Pericola, editor of the Panama City News-THerald and an ardent softball enthusiast,, was considerably put out over loss of the game, he having declared that his aggregation would "take" St. Joe in this. return tilt. STOVES AT DANL-,Y'S STOVES AT DANLIEY'S OIL WELL GOING DOWN NEAR WEWAHITCHKA 'Much interest is centered around the oil well being drilled just be- side State High-way No. 6 on the land of the estate of the late Mrs. Kate Gaskin. The drilling goes on day and night, and many people driving along the highway stop to view the novelty of- B'eeinig a real oil well in the making. If the men doing the drilling know anything more about the real possibilities of striking 'oil, they they are not telling. All we local people can dio is guess--and hope. The fact that one oil well has been drilled on the Lister land some miles south of the Gaskin ,well. and which was capped in what was reported as more or less of a great hurry, seems to indicate that possibilities of oil in paying quantities in this vicinity is not a too far-fetched hope.-The Gulf County Breeze.

As radio broadcasts were inter. erupted late. Thursday afternoon of isrt wee-k to announce the death of. President Franklin D. Roose- velt at the "Little White House" in Warm Springs, Ga., the people of Port St. Joe received the news in shocked, disbelief, hardily daring to trust that they, had heard aright. Small knots of people collected here and there on the streets to discuss in hushed voices the t:'agedy. Comments heard ran something along these lines: "The death of Roosevelt will to some extent lessen chances for a lasting peace, 'but will have little effect on the outcome of the war." "The best friend the world has had in these trying times is dead.'" "The. psychological effect of his death on the coming San Fran. conference probably will be tre- mendous and more than likely will hamper considerably the chances for a lasting world organization to maintain peace." "Barring none, we have lost the greatest. American who has ever lived." All flags in the city were flown at half-mast from Thursday thru Monday, local schools, held no ses- sions last Friday, and a memorlar service was held in the park Sat- urday afternoon at 3 o'clock, all business houses o.f the city closing their doors at that time. For several days the feeling was that something was missing; that something good and fine was gone -the president was dead.

ROOSEVELT The people of- Port St. Joe were, shocked and grieved when the news came Thursday afternoon of last week that President Frank- lin D. Roosevelt had died. Most of us could hardly believe that our great leader had been called at the full tide of his usefulness and re- nown, in the full dawn of the victory to which he had led us. One of the greatest of our war presidents, he will also be remembered as a master builder for world peace. His last written words, the radio speech he was to have de- livered to Jefferson Day audiences, rang with his. heart's deepest hope: "The mere conquest of our enemies is not enough. We must go on to do. all in our power to conquer the doubt ' and 'the fears, the ignorance and the greed, which made this horror possible. And to all Americans who dedicate themselves with us to the making of an abiding peace, I say: The only limit to our realization of to- morrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith." Behind that gospel stands a life which was dedicated to his country -and to humankirqd. He belongs not only to America, but to the freedom-loving, world; not only to our times, but to all the ages, and to the pages of tus- tory we tnay safely leave the appraisal of this man at his full measure, secure in our kflowi- edge that his greatest work was done. As we mourn our lost leader, let us take our place at the side of his successor in full con- fidence that he will follow resolutely the path so clearly marked for him. This is the time for everyone to unite and rally to the new president of the United States and \to dedicate ourselves to the completion of the task whica lies before us. TRAGEDY IN VETERANS' HOSPITALS An appalling revelation of inhuman politi- cal management is being brought to light by a reporter's investigation of government vet- erans' hospitals. There are nearly a hundred of these hospitals, built at a cost of over a quarter of a billion dollars, to provide the finest care in the world for our returned war veterans. Appropriations have been granted without stint to maintain these institutions- and yet veterans are dying neediessty in them! The Cosmopolitan magazine has published an article on conditions in the veterans' hos- pitals, packed with figures and facts that make the blood run cold. Only one patient in six leaves these hospitals as cured. The treatment received by tuberculosis patients is muder- ously negligent. Of all the veterans treated for tuberculosis, only 3.67 per cent are dis- charged as "quiescent," "apparently arrested" or "arrested." Typical state hospitals such as New York, discharge 48.1 per cent in these classifications-fourteen times as many! The death rate is equally shocking. If a man com- pletes treatment, the changes are nearly two to one that he will be carried out in a coffin. Sixty per cent of all the patients in the vet- erans' TB hospitals "run away." Here are a few of the things that the in- quiring reporter observed, during a half-year spent visiting these government hospitals: "I have found nurses so negligent that they did not even bother to wash their hands af- ter examining one patient with a contagious disease and before turning to another. "I have found many doctors, who could hold no position in any well-run hospital; cynical men who joked to me about their patients' miseries; incompetent men who rejected, off- hand, every modern advance in medicine. "I have seen desperately sick veterans served food so cold that it would be indignantly rejected in the worst Bowery flophouse. Ana I have seen these same veterans charged un- conscionably high-prices by racketeering con- cessionaires, permitted to operate within the hospitals by complacent superintendents. "I have seen men denied surgery they needed, denied modern treatments that could liave cured them-and even sneered at 'by of- ficials for presuming to ask for these things." Are the people going to -stand by and see these men treated like that? We hope not. Every mother's son of us should demand a cleanup in the veterans' hospitals7-at once. The war, they say, is bringing us.closer to- gether. This is especially noticeable on trains and buses.
