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 Reddy Kilowatt. your electrical servant. FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION Low Cost Electricity ...

Come in today for BETTER SERVICE and MORE DRIVING SATISFACTION. WE SERVICE ALL MAKES BUMPER TO BUMPER SERVICE ST. JOE MOTOR CO. Charles Peacock, Service Manager PHONE 37 PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 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.

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.

SMITH, Editor 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. - Churches PHONE 51 Episcopal Minister For Port St. Joe For the first time in the history of the.
