Open For Business

:Since opening of The White Spot
last week, Port St. Joe's new drive-
in cafe established by Geotrge M.
Anchors and Sam Duren, it has
apparently become one of the most
popular spots in town if the group
of cars continually parked around
it is any criterion.
These two returned war veter-
ans are well versed in catering to
the public and specialze in- tasty
sandwiches of every description,
Ice cream, soft drinks and short
orders.
The cafe is fully' equipped with
a modern kitchen presided over by
Jimmy Richardson (claimed to be
the best colored cook in the city),
has an up-to-date soda fountain anat
the dining room is furnished
with chromium-finished tables and
chairs.
If you want a tasty sandwich or
a complete meal, drop in at The
White Spot and try your luck.
The curb service feature of- the
establishment seems particularly
to appeal to motorists who like to
eat without the necessity of get-
ting out of the car.

NOBODY needs to tell you that
the cost of living has been
climbing toward high C.
But it's kinda pleasant to be
reminded that the cost of elec-
tricity has kept right on coming
down the scale. In fact, Florida
Power Corporation's domestic elec-
tric rates were VOLUNTARILY re-
duced twice, during the post
eighteen months.


So now, if yours is the average
household, you're getting twice at-
much electricity for your money
as you did only 15 years ago. Thl.
really is music to the ears of tht
homemaker facing other rising
living costs.
Keeping the quality of service
up, and the cost of service down
will always be the aim of

TOO LATE TO

CLASSIFY
By RUSSELL KAY

I wrote this column on Mondlay
morning, July 1, 1946. It was a
lovely morning. The sun came up
as usual. .the; birds were singing,
bees buzzed from flower to flower
and folks 1I met all seemed, happy
and contented.
All this in spite of the fact that
for more than eight hours we had
been struggling along without the
OPA. After listening to all the dire
predictions over the radioo and
reading the papers I was truly
amazed, for I had been led to be-
lieve that if the OPA had cease
to function for even, one minute
the world would come to an end
or anyhow st''p in its tracks.
One speaker. on the radio the
night 'before kept harping on
"What happened after the last
war."' According to him, everybody
went around gouging each other'b
eyes out an.d kicking' everybody
they met in the shins.:' Prices, he
said "skyrocketed" ani hell was
to pay in a big way.
Then it occurred to me that 1
was here at the time and went
through that particular; time that
he was raving about. I tried to re-
member the situation: At the time
I was was working for $25 a -week
and hadi just gotten married. I paid
$16 a month rent for a good five-
room house. Always had plenty to
eat; wore fairly decent clo-thes, in-
cluding shoes, and didn't worry
about much of anything."
Of course I was on my owl
Uncle Sam hadn't formed tne
habit of_ looking after" folks in
those days like he does now. I had
to wipe my own nose and comb
my own hair. The $25 a week was
MY money. I could do what I
pleased with it. I didn't have to
pay any withholding tax, social
security tax or union dies and as-
sessments.
,Prices went, up on a few things
but I didn't have to buy them. 1-
didn't go without anything, I really
wanted. I shudder now when 1
think of the awful predicament I
was in. I was absolutely helpless,
nobody protected me .from my
landlord or my grocer or milkman.
The only black market operat-
ing in those days to my knowledge
was on liquor. It was during pro-
hibition. All you had to do to get a
drink, or a case for that matter,
was just know somebody th a t
knew somelbod-y and pay the price.
Prohibition worked just about as
well as the OPA as far as protect-
ing anybody was concerned.
Of course a few racketeers and
greedy individuals tried to stick
the public for this and that. Some
folks paid the inflated price if they
wanted t h e merchandise 'bad
enough, but most folks didn't, not
because Chester Bowles, or some
other bureaucrat told them not to,
but just because old' fashioned
common sense, told them not to.
T h i n g s adjusted themselves
pretty rapidly as I recall. Realize.
ing that if they spent all their
earnings foolishly and wont broke
they couldn't go down to Mr.
Sam's office and draw rocking
chair money for not working, most
folks stuck to their jobs, were rea-
sonalbly- careful about expendi-
tures, and the old American sys-
tem of free enterprise anudC co-mpe-
tition took care of the situation.
When a .merchant hiked hils
prices or offered inferior goods,
his competitor got the Ibusiness
and the dumb grasping merchant
went broke.
Yes, it was pretty tough after
the last war. I use t'o buy milk
from a neighbor who kept a cow
and had more than he needed,
and the dirty so-ind-so charged
me eight cents a quart. I had a few
hens who laid nice fresh eggs for
my breakfast and only asked for
a little water anad table scraps In [
return. I paid twen'ty-.five centl


for a haircut and got my' suit
pressed and cleaned, for forty cents
and thought the guy was holding'
me up. Fish and game weren't
"protected" in those days and 1
used to go down to the river after
work and could snag out a couple
of fat bass and to hell with the
butcher and his dollar steaks.
Of course 1 didn't know a.ot,*
OPA of realize how badi of'i I was
or I would .probably have written
my congressman and screamed
my 'head off, but on the other hand
they say that "what a guy don't
know won't hurt him," and now
thinking back, I'm glad' I was so
blamed ignorant, for I was happy.

Our Country Right or Wrong

POLIO VICTIMS CAN BE CURED
People have a lot of strange notions about
diseases, one of the most prevalent of which
is that infantile paralysis kills or seriously
cripples whomever it strikes. Proof to the
contrary comes in the statement of Dr. Hart
E. Van Riper, acting medical director of the
"National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
that as high as 75 per cent of' those stricken
with the disease can be expected to recover
without serious aftereffects.
In an article appearing in the June issue
of Hospitals Magazine, official publication of
the American Hospital Association, Dr. Van
Riper goes on to say that the paralysis so
commonly regarded as an integral part of
polio has been shown to be a comparative.,
rare sequel of a widespread innocuous ail-
ment; It is notable, however, that he predi-
cates a maximum recovery rate on accurate
diagnosis, adequate medical nursing care with
early therapy and immediate hospitalization.
With the polio .epidemic season-usually
r aiing from-late June through September.-,
alretdy evincing itself throughout the la d, it
would seem wise for the nation to inventory"
its medical resources, so that crippling effects
of the disease may be held to a minimum. It
is comforting to know that the American peo-
ple's contributions to the March of Dimes last
January assures the best medical treatment
available at general- hospitals wherever polio
strikes.
It is also reassuring to know that the local
chapter of the National Foundation, headed
by E. Clay Lewis, Jr., stands ready to back
up and enhance if necessary the community's
medical facilities for care and treatment of
polio victims. Such aid can be broad enough,
particularly in relation to physical therapy, to
prove of inestimable value in the treatment,
not only of polio, but many other related
maladies.

A "top government economist" in Washing-
ton says that the cost-of-living trend is alarm-
ing, but has refused to let his name be used
in making the statement. If he refuses to
stand in full public view behind his statement
we can see no reason for his having issued it
We don't see where an 11-cent increase in
the price of butter is going to hurt anyone ..5
long as the grocery stores don't have any for
sale anyway.-Sanford Herald.


Harking back over our checkered national
past, ,who now remembers those uneconomical
but delicious food surpluses of other days,
which ruined us as we ate them up? San
Francisco Chronicle.


Pity the poor New York swindler who got
his family's pound of butter mixed up with
the gold brick he was trying to peddle an'd
found a buyer before he discovered his own
nistake.-Des Moines Tribune..


Bureaucracy has us stymied on eliminating
unnecessary federal employes. Think what
turning loose those millions would do to -the
housing shortage.-Dallas News.


BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEED
Now that OPA controls are lifted it is up
to the public to prevent inflation by sane buy-
ing. If we all purchase only what we need
there will be no great jump in prices. But if
we all decide to go on a buying spree and
snap up every article in sight, the result will
be disastrous.
It at present we buy only what is absolutely
necessary, the law of supply and demand will
take care of prices. Sure, we're all tempted
to buy things we don't really need as they be-
come available. We've all got plenty of ready
cash, and that's the whole trouble. If we all
buy now we create an artificial scarcity and
plrices go up. If we wait for items we want
until the manufacturers can get them on the
market in quantity, prices will remain at a
normal level.
Even if OPA is reactivated within the next
few weeks. it will have to go out of business
some time, and then we'd have the whole
thing to go through again. So let's show we
are a responsible people by controlling our
purchases instead of going out like a sailor on
a spree and buying up everything in sight.

CHEER UP, YOU MAY GET A CAR
Cheer up, you would-be purchasers of auto-
mobiles! American automobile production tle
last week of -May totaled 33,387 units both
passenger vehicles and trucks.
At that rate it would require only a half
century to produce as many cars and trucks
as have been turned out from 1900 to May 31,
1946. That 46-year production total was 87,-
203,730 cars and trucks, according to an an-
nouncement at the Automotive Golden Jubilee
in Detroit.
Of course, the American automotive indus-
try didn't really "get going" during the first
two decades of the century. Only 4,192 cars
and trucks were produced in 1900, and it
wasn't .until 1915 that total production even
approached a million cars.a year. The problem
'early in the century was perfecting methods
of mass production through assembly lines.
The problem now is keeping workers on the
job. The low production the last week of May r
was largely attributed to material shortages
resulting from strikes in supplier plants.-The
'Reno (Nev.) Evening Gazette.

FAIR THOUGHT a
Corporation Counsel Hodes is talking about T
another Chicago World's-Fair for 1950. This,
as the citizen will discern, will just about solve t
everything. s
Chester Bowels says we are about out of
bread, but Mr. Hodes, a representative of the P
city hall local of the party of humanity, will f
see that we don't run out of circuses. The i
OPA and the rest of the New Deal are drs- W
couraging private construction of housing, but v
there was a considerable contingent of con-
tractors on hand to hear Mr. Hodes and ex- B
press their willingness to build Irish,and Swiss h
villages. If you can't buy a suit or a white v
shirt, just reflect that the'dollie in the Streets
of Paris gets by with bubbles. T
There are a lot of things, for the politicians '
to solve before they get around to carnivals. I
Maybe, by 1950, things will be normal, but 1I
only an optimist would be in the mind to think
a
so right now. And what are we supposed to t
be celebrating, anyway? Is somebody going s.
to tell us that happy days are here yet again? u

Juicy Fruit Roll
"Makes" the Meal
WHEN the family tires of ber.
ries plain and berries fancy,
try a new trick.. It's raspberry roll
which folds juicy raspberries in a
crisp pastry. It's delicious, you'll
agree.
An aid to shorter hours indoors is
th' new self-rising flour which
makes hot biscuits, cakes and des-
serts in two shakes. The baking
powder and salt are -ready-mixed
into it, thus a double saving of (1)
price of these two ingredients, and
*2) the time of sifting them with
the flour.
Try the new. speed flour in the
following summer dessert:
Raspberry Roll.

Mayor Soule Is Guest
Speaker At Kiwanis
IMayor Horace Soule was guest
speaker at Wednesday's Kiwanis
luncheon, and' his subject, "Your
City Government," was well re-
ceived. The city's tax structure
was thoroughly explained' to the
audience and left no doubt in the
club members' minds that a de-
termined, effort toward enforce-
ment of tax collections is highly
necessary if the city's financial
concd1'tion is to be other than "in
the red."
Mr. Soule stated that a general
revision of tax assessments is 'be-
ing studied in order to have a fair
and equitable tax system. "The
same is true of city licenses," said
the mayor. He pointed out that
this will also increase city reve.
nue, which is sorely needed at the
present time.
"'City employes' checks are be-
ing held up right now because
there is not sufficient revenue at
this time to pay them off," said
9oule. "The commission is.working
,out- a more efficient method of col-
lection and enforcement that is ex-
pected to improve this situation
appreciably," he concluded.
Next Wednesday night the local
Kiwanis Clliui will observe its
fifth anniversary with a Ladies'
Night celebration to be held at the
Martin Beach Club.
