Fund Drive For


Children's Home

Off to Good Start

Local Committee, Making House-
to-House Canvass, Reports
$274 Received

The local drive for fund's for the
new Crippled, Children's Home ot
,West Florida is off to a good start
with $274 already collected by the!
committee, and it is hoped the en-
tire quota of $800 will be collected I
in a short time. i
The committee tn charge of the;
drive consists of Mrs. A: L. Wara,
chairman'; Mrs. Robert Tappot,
Mrs. D. B. Lay, Mrs. B. E. Kenney,
Mrs. C. G. Costin, Mrs. Howard
Taunton, Mrs. Jesse Stone, Mra.
W. H. Howell, Mrs. Harry Mc-
Knight and Mrs. Ralph Swatts, and
these workers are contacting bust-
ness house and civic organizations
as well as making a house-to-house
canvass of the city.
Everyone is urged to give and to
give generously to this cause, as
an adequate crippled children's
home is one of the greatest needs
of West Florida.
At the recent crippled children's
,clinic held here by the American
Legion, 42 children were in at-
tendance, 13 of whom were sent
to the crippled children's home at
Pensacola for treatment. The fact
that there are at least 42 crippled
children in this section should
make us, realize the great need for
a well-equipped and modern hos-
pital in this section of- the state
for their care.
The present home is inadequate.
It is small, having but four bed-
rooms, and, is poorly equipped.
The new hospital is to be as fine
as money can 'buy, staffed with the
best available doctors and nurses
and supplied, with the best In fur-
niture and equipment.
So everyone is urged to be as
generous as possible with their
contributions to this worthy cause.

Floyd Lister Named As
County Red Cross Head

At the annual meeting of the
Gulf County OChapter, American
Red Cross, Floyd C. Lister of We-
wahitchka was unanimously se-
lected as the new chairman, suc-
ceeding E. L. Hobaugh of the St.
Joe Paper Company.
Mr. Lister is well known in Port
St. Joe and is a former county
commissioner. The selection was a
popular one and predictions were

Officers Named

At Jaycee Meet

Monday Night

Drive Underway To Increase Mem-
bership of New Civic
Organization

The Port St. Joe Junior Cham-
ber of Commerce Monday evening
confirmed the appointment by the
board of directors of Al Schneider
as president and Roy Gibson, Jr.,
as secretary. These officers were
lamed to fill the vacancies' created'
by the resignations of Opp Moore
.nd Foy Scheffer, who were serv-
ng as president andi secretary, re-
spectively, until the group had or-
ganized and permanent officers
were named.
,Schneeider's first official act at-
er taking the chair was to ap-
point a committee to confer With
Ciy Commissioner Joe Sharit on
he progress the city has made to-
ward erecting a modern water-
treating plant. The Jaycees. are
eager to assist the city in putting
over the project.
The new president named a ses-
)nd group to assist the city dur-
ng the clean-up campaign pro-
claimed for this week by Mayor
Horace Soule. The Boy Scouts
have volunteered to help the cham-
ber during this drive.
The local group has petitioned
the Floridla Junior ChamIber of
Commerce amid the U. S. Junior
Chamber of Commerce for char-
ters of affiliation. By-law, and a
copy of the aoiltituiion furee sub. ,
uitte'd to the state and aalon ..
chambers some time ago. It 'i- ex-
pected, however, that no action on
the request for charters will be
taken until the national conven-
tion now being held in Milwaukee
adjourns, next week.
A drive is underway to increase
the roster of the local organiza-
tion. Since the new officers have
taken office the chamber has. in-
creased its' membership by twelve.

City To Pay Accounts
of Municipal Hospital

At a recent meeting of the city
commission all outstanding, ac-
counts of the Port St. Joe muncl-
pal hospital were assumed by the
city.
In a letter to those having past
due accounts against the hospital,
Mayor H. W. Soule hadl this to say,
i'n part:
"In the past the city has endea-
vored to keep the municipal hos,
pital entirely separate from city
affairs. It was the desire of all
that it would operate within its is-
come.
"Due to war conditions, prices,
labor shortages, nursing service,
etc., it had quite an obstacle to
overcome, as you know., Lalbor
costs and nursing salaries have
been the one factor in running Its
operating costs above its income.
"February 1 of 1946 the opera-
tion of the hospital was given to
Mrs. Ralph Thompson, a very cap-
able person. Any and all accounts
from that date have been and will
be paid monthly. All outstanding

Our Country Right or Wrong

BE ALIVE ON THE FIFTH
Fireworks instead of big guns will be heard
this Fourth of July. For the first time in five
years, America will be at peace on the day
dedicated to her independence an indepen-
ence just eraffirmed and strengthened in the
costliest and bloodiest test in her history.
It should be a great day.
It can be a great day-if it is a day of sane
and oyful thanksgiving that the courage and
resolution of the United States have once
again kept -her free from tyranny.
But it 'will be a -tragic day if-as has hap-
pened so often in the past-hundreds die of
accidents due to carelessness.
Many WILL die--but let us endeavor to
see that none die here in Port St. Joe.
National Safety Council records show that
last July 8,700 persons were killed in acci-
dents, a large number of them as a result of
the Independence Day celebration. Perhaps it
is even more significant today to remember
1941 and our last peacetime July. That month
brought 9,700 accidental deaths.
Peace brought an end to killing only on the,
battlefield. Since V-J Day the accident toll'
has skyrocketed to near-record highs-up 44
per cent in traffic alone.
Why? ,
The reasons are natural. Plenty of gas and
more leisure. Release from restraint and re--
strictions. No wartime patriotic urge. A long-
deferred desire to blow off steam- with a little
fun and relaxation.
Add to that worn-out cars and tires, de-


teriorated highways, a carefree spirit that too
often becomes a careless spirit, and you have
a dark prospect for. this Fourth of July and
the entire vacation season.
The tragic and ironic part of it is that so
many Americans, after sacrificing and risking
so much to preserve life and freedom, will lose
it irrevocably and needlessly in a moment of
carelessness. 0
It's a plain, simple fact that 8,000 to 10,000
of us will be killed in July accidents this year,
unless we do something about it. If enough
people recognize the fact that accidents can
and do happen to anyone, not just to an un-
known John Jones, then the July toll could
be cut down considerably.
Let's celebrate the Fourth this year in the
true spirit. Let's make it a joyous holiday
here in Port St. Joe, dedicated to the freedom
of our country, bearing in mind that a num-
ber of our young men gave their lives in the
war just ended that we might retain that
freedom. And let's make that freedom a re-
ality by avoiding accidents that threaten to
rob many Americans of their precious and
hard-won heritage
So have fun on the Fourth --but be alive
on the Fifth!

STRIKE VARIATION
England's houeswives are "organized,"' and
they continue to plan a strike for, not higher
wages, but just wages. This looks as if they
were putting a rather small cart before a
highly necessary horse.
How are they going to grade their pay-
scale? Few newly-married housewives really
earn the wages that are earned, if not re-
ceived, by the housewife who has been cook-
ing and cleaning for' ten years. Does the rich
man's spouse deserve as much pay as the poor
mnan's?
aPerhaps the answers are buried in the
breast of the leader of this British House-
wives Union. She is a daughter of the late
Elinor Glyn, novelist. None of Mrs. Glyn's
1-'her:.i ne, ever developed dishpan hands.-The
Bangor (Me.) Daily News.

Don'ts for the balance of 1946: Don't burnl
the woods. Don't burn up the highways.
Don't burn the toast. Don't burn up your
money.

playing safe keeps them from playing a harp.

County Health Officer Gives
i Symptoms of Polionyelitis

Dr. Terry Bird, county health ot-
ficer, states that the number of
cases of infantile paralysis con-
tinues to slowly increase in Flor-
ida. Therefore it is well to know
what the symptoms of poliomyeli-
tis are.
It is an acute infection begin-
ning usually with moderate fever,
headache, nausea, vomiting, sleep-
lessness or drowsiness irritabil-
iy, pain over the body, s.iffness ot
neck and spine, and paralysis.
Any or all of these symptoms
may ibe absent and only. the par-
alysis be present--only a very
small percentage of all casess show
any paralysis. However, when par-
alysis does. occur, it miy be sud-
den and' .cause death within a few
hours of onset without any other
clearcut symptoms.

CONTROL OF FEC

mission reopened the case, at the
insistence of Senator Pepper, ano
permitted the Atlantic Coast Line
to file its plan.
At hearings in Washington anc
in Florida this question was dis-
cussed: Should' the reorganized
company be operated independently
under control of the St. Joe Paper
Company or be unified with aun
operated' by the Atlantic Coast
Line?
Examiner Jewell in his report
said the commission should finct
that:
1. A merger of the East Coast
with the Coast Line "would result
in no appreciable improvement in
-transportation service to the pub-
lic as compared with such service
under independent operations."
2. "The eventual savings from
such a merger would not be sucil
as to warrant consideration ot
them as a controlling factor and
would be realized only ;by having
an immediately adverse effect upon
the city of St. Augustine and sur-
rounding territory."
*13. "The predominate sentiment
of residents, shippers and com-
niunities on the east coast of Flor-
ida in the territory served by the
Florida East Coast is in favor of
independent operation of the rail-
road."
4. "A merger of the East Coast
with the Atlantic Coast Line Is
not necessary to assure the future
financial stability of the East Coast
or continued adequate, economical
and efficient service, and the na-
ture of the holdings, management
and affiliations of the St. Joe Pa-
per Company is not such as to pre-
clude it as a proper party to con-
trol the railroad's property."

MULES PULLED FIRST
TRAIN IN FLORIDA

The first railroad in Florida
came into being during the year
1836 when 22 miles of railroad be-
tween Tallahassee and Port Leon
began operations with mules sup-
plying the motive 'power.
Feeling that the initial trip over
the Tallahassee Pail Road, as the
line was called, deserved the
pomp and' ceremony befitting such
a momentous event,' local ofliciW.
dom and, divers citizens turned out
en masse all along the route.
The maiden run was success-
fully launched from Tallahassee
and, all went well until the mules
balked five miles outside of Port
Leon. The stubborn critters just
sat down in the middle of the track
nor could the frantic "engineer"
budge them. 'The "run"' was fi-
nally completed by using a pair
of 'orrowd drait horses.
We never heard what happened
to the mules.

Seven states and possessions of
the United States provide life Im-
prisonment as the extreme pen-
alty for murder.


ARMY WILL DISCHARGE SOME
MEN WITH 21 MONTHS SERVICE
The war department has author-
ized, commanders in the U. S. to
discharge as surplus non-volunteer
enlisted men with over 21 months'
service, and' has ordered the re-
turn from overseas theaters of
non-volunteer enlisted fathers and
men with 21 months' service or
more, in the order of length of
service.

In Elizabethan England, slander-
ing persons were often pilloried
and had their ears nailed back.

one." And, apparently the
Record was right, for there were
numerous arguments. and raw de-
cisions by the one Blountstown
umpire, who either didn't know a
thing about baseball or was out to
win 'by an-y means. How-
ever, the Saints took the long end
of a 10 to 3 score.
The Buccaneers started off with
a hang, getting two runs in the
first inning, much to the satisfac-
tion of the Blountstown rooters,
while the Saints made but one as
Alton Dendy and Leonard Bellih
came in on a liner through short
by Frank Hannon. The visitors ad-
mnitted Dendly was safe, but won
an argument frqon Manager Rich
Porter that Belin's run did not
2ount.
Neither team scored in the sec-
ond frame, but the Saints took
the lead in the third with three
runs when Tommy Mitchell' made
two bags on a.short hit 'and. an
overthrow at first, Belin was
walked, Hannon hit thru short to
bring in Mitchell, and Belin and
Hannon came home, on a two-base
hit to centerfield by John. Lane.
Letty Thomas, who hurled the
full nine innings for the Saints In
spite of a badly swollen arm and
against his doctor's orders, tight-
ened up and held the Buccaneers
scoreless until the ninth, when
they shoved over one run, while
the Saints marked up one run in
the fourth, one in the fifth, one in
the sixth and three in the seventh
for their 10-run total.
