Oystermen Drop

Two Ball Games

To St. Joe Saints

Sunday Tilt Goes 1- Innings For
4-1 Score; Hinote Gets Shut-
out Here Wednesday

The S'aints went on to increase
their lead over Apalachicola in the
Gulf Coast League when they de-
feated, the Oystermen 5-0 in -the
local ball park Wednesday after-
noon behind the hurling of Terry
Hinote. Terry got into a couple of
bad holes, but keeping, a cool head
and. with the assistance of his
team mates, came out of them
safely to be credited with a shut-
out. He retired eight men by the
strikeout route and gave two walks
while Hendels, on the .mound for
Apalachicola, gave four walks ana
-was credited with two strikeouts.
Leonard Belin was the star per-
former of the tilt, chalking up two
home runs for a total of ten so
far this season. His first came in
the third, driving Tommy Mitchell
in ahead of him, andi the second
came in the seventh with two men
out and no one on base.
The Saints, scored one run in the
second inning, two fin the third,
one in the fourth and one in the
fifth for their total of five.
The Oystermen had a golden op-
portunity to score in the third inn-
ing when the bases were loaded
with-no outs. Hinote struck out
the fourth batter,, Bert Cox caught
a runner at home on an attempted
sacrifice, and the third -out wa6.
marked up on a play from Lane'
to Belin. The Apalachicolans again
threatened to score in the seventh
after a runner had advanced to
third, but the attempt was nipped
in the bud by the Saints who were
bound to give Hinote his shutout.

SUNDAY'S GAME
In a pitcher's battle that went to
10 innings the Saints defeated the
second place Apalachicola Oyster-
inen on their home field Sunday
by a score of 4 to 1 behind the
hurling of Lefty Thomason, who
chalked up his ninth straight win
and kept his record at the 1.000

AVERS STORY OF BASEBALL
RUCKUS WAS 'HUMILIATING'
One of the two women men-
tioned in the story of the freefor-
all staged< at the baseball game in
Wewahitchka on July 24 has in-
formed us that she was "greatly
humiliated" by the story, that there
was no "argument" since she did
not utter a word.
The word "argument" used in
the story was merely a figure of
speech, referring to a general me-
lee, sounding much 'better than
other words that could have been
used under the circumstances.
There was no intention of "hu-
miliating" anyone, for a newspaper
does not intentionally do sucn
things. In fact, no names were
mentioned in the story for that
reason, and we are indeed sorry ir
either of the two women feel they
have been humiliated, for such was
not the intent.

Vacationing In South Florida

Six Amendments

To Constitution

To Go On Ballot

Only Two Are of Statewide Appli-
cation or of General
Importance

Proposals to eliminate nearly all
so called "continuing appropria-
tions" and to establish the office
of- state budget director, along
with four other proposed ameni-
nients to the constitution of Flor-
ida will be voted on by the people
of the state at the general election
November 5.
Of the six amendments sought
to 'be added to the constitution,
based on resolutions passed by the
1945 session of the legislature, but
two are of statewide application or
of general importance. The others
apply specifically to Hillsborough,
Orange, Bay andi Escambia coun-
ties, respectively.
The appropriation amendment,
claimed by its sponsors to be a
means of giving 'the legislature a
biennial check on state govern-
mental expenditures, requires that
all legislative acts appropriating
money be in a separate law or
laws, and that no law on any otae,
subject include an appropriation.
;All appropriations, with the spe-
I cific exemptions, would be limited
to periods of two years. Exempted
from the two-year limitation on ap-
propriations are those for county
schools, counties, cities, or politi-
cal subdivisions of the state, ap-
propriations for permanent im-
provements and buildings for state
institutions as provided for by laws
enacted at the 1945 legislature or
prior legislatures, and for pen-
sions, retirement fundss and trust
funds.
Intended to ,be eliminated by the
amendment are appropriations or
money included in laws passed
through the, years and carrying
over roan year to year without any
check by 'the legisalture. So gn-
eral has the practice of making
continuing appropriations become
that in recent years, according to
sponsors of the amendment, only
about $17,000,000 of approximately
$100,000,000 spent annually by the

mark for the season. The Saint
southpaw gave up 12 hits, walked
one man and was credited with 11
strikeouts.
St. Joe scored first with one run
in the second inning when Leonard
Belin was safe at first on a low
throw to first by the shortstop.
Bert Cox lifted a Texas Leaguer
ever second for one bag; Alton
Dendy sacrificed to advance Belin
and Cox, and W. J. Herring drove
Belin home with a hit. through sec-
ond. The Oystermen also scored
one in this frame, andi the game
went on from their 1 -1 until the
tenth.
In reality there should have been
io extra innings, as in the sixth
Fohn Lane crossed the plate on a
:ine drive to third by Belin whicn
was stopped, by the third baseman
.or a sure out, but he overthrew
first andi Lane crossed the plate
,vith Belin going to second. The
two Apalachicola umpires rule
that Lane was entitled to but one
lag, and over the bitter protests
)f Manager Rich Porter, Johnny
vas sent back to third. Even, the
kpalachicola players admitted that
Lane was entitled to two bases
.lut the umps were adamant and
apparently out to win in any man-
ter, shape or form, so Manage.
Porter notified the officials thaN
the game would be played under
protest.
However, no action was neces-
sary, as in the tenth inning tau,
Saints began to hit Rutherford,
i pitcher imported from Madisn,
by Apalachicola for the balance of
the season, and three runs were
shoved' over luring the frame.
Thomason ledi off with a single
-hrough third; Frank Hannon, in
an attempted sacrifice, popped a
'oul to the catcher; Lane took two
)ags on a hit through second, and
the bases were loaded as Tommy
.Vitchell took a walk when nicked
by a pitched, ball. The large con-
:ingent of St. Joe rooters went
wild as Belin stepped to the plate,
ind their faith in the home-run
litter was justified, for he slamnm'ea
nit a two-base hit 'to left field to
Irive in Thomason and Lane. Cox
hit a line drive to short to bring in
Mitchell, and the side was retired
when Dendy whiffed. The Oyster
City boys failed to score, and the
na.me was over.
Main features of the tilt were
two nifty catches in left field by
'Fish" Herring and a belly-flopper
staged by Rich Porter as he vainly
mndemavored to beat out an infield
lit. "My legs just wouldn't keep
ip with me," said Rich.

*...... For The Homemaker

The cost of living isn't exactly going down and
maybe you won't thank Reddy Kilowatt for remind-

cost of living item HAS GONE DOWN in price
since 1939.

Yes, you guessed it. Your old friend Reddy Kilo-
watt's wages are 22.8% less than they were seven
years ago and while other costs are going up,
you're paying less for more and better electrical

So when everything else looks black just re-
member that you still have one friend. Your elec-
trical servant, Reddy Kilowatt, is as always, at bat

Canipaign Is Underway To

Curb Juvenile Delinquency

Plans for a concerted campaign
in every Florida county and com-
munity to curb and prevent juve-
nile delinquency were given at a
meeting Wednesday in Tallahassee
of Governor Ca'ldwell's statewide
Florida children's committee.
It is expected that a uniform or-
ganizational setup will be made in
each county designed to supple-
ment and strengthen all agencies.
public and private, now dealing
with youth problems.
"What we are after," said Gov-
ernor Caldwell, "is a simple, prac-
tical and effective effort in which
every individual and. organization
can and will be expected to hell)."
S--X AMENDMENTS
SIX AMENDMENTS


(Continued from page 1).
state government is subject to
legislative review every two year-i.
All of the continuing appropria-
tions, except those particularly
specified, would be discontinued
and nullified as of July 1, 1947.
Described as something of a
companion to the approprlavrons
proposal, the amedi ment next in
importance submitted by the legis-
lature will, if ratified by the peo-
ple in November, establish a state
budget director, who would be ap-
pointed by the legislature, ana
would, perform duties specified by
the legislature from time to time.
In general, duties of the director
of the budget would be to super-
vise expenditure of funds appropri-
ated *by the legislature, to assure
the money being spent in accord-
ance with legislative direction.
Three of the other four amend-
ments are designed to effect con-
solidation of county and city gov-
ernmental functions, particularly
with regard to taxation, in Hills-
borough, Orange and Ray counties.
Hillsiborough county already op-
erates under an amendment con-
solidating tax assessing and col-
lecting for the county as to all
mnunibipalities. Plant City would
be eliminated from its provisions
by the proposed amendment.
The Orange county amendment
authorizes special legislative acts
to consolidate any and all offices
and functions of government of
county and municipalities, but re-
quires that any such acts be sub-
mitted, to referendum elections in
the county.
The Bay county proposal would
consolidate assessing and collect-
ing taxes in the county and mu-
nicipalities.
The Escambia county amend-
ment, if adopted, would make the
offices of judge of the court of
record and county solicitor elec-


The state board'of health today
reminded Florida housewives of
their responsibility in keeping their
garbage covered until it is gathered
for disposal. This precaution is for
their protection as well as the
community.
Open garbage draws flies which
may carry typhoid, fever, and pos-
sibly polio. Rats from which ty-
phus fever infected fleas find their
way to human, bodies also breed in
garbage. Such diseases play no fa-
vorites.
Flies and rats can be extermi-
nated if first their breeding places
are wiped out. In towns, open gar-
bage cans and. dirty surroundings
play a major role.
Householders are urged to pro-
vide themselves with water-tight
metal garbage containers, which
should be placed on bricks or
wooden platforms in order to pre-
vent dampness and direct contact
between the can and the ground.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
The best way to combat tuberculosis, a
prominent doctor points out, is to be con-
stantly engaged in a fight to discover its
symptoms. Since all recent strides in reducing
the death-rate have been made because of
early detection it is evident that more thor-
ough examinations would produce even better
results, and the Florida State Board of Health
is to be commended for its plan to X-ray all
children of our state with a battery of portable
X-ray machines.
Tuberculosis is something very remote to
us until it becomes very intimately associated
with some member of the family, and then it
becomes an active, aggressive enemy. Because
doctors can cure it in most cases only before
it becomes complicated, mass skin tests or
children at school and X-ray. treatment of
doubtful cases i_ of the greatest aid.
A majority of ~pulmonary tuberculosis oc-
curs in the late teens or early twenties, antd
examination of children seems the most sen-
sible course to take until science learns more
about. curative,_inethods. Further, early ,dis-

Early detection then, does two things it
saves lives and prevents many from falling
victim to the germ.

Congress has passed a bill which will pay
half the price of damages caused by the tidal
wave which hit Hawaii in April, some sixteen
million dollars. We can't see why the tax-
payers should be soaked for what properly
can be termed "an act of God." Supposing the
same thing should happen here in Port St.
Joe-would we expect the government to re-
pair the damage?

Now that General MacArthur has clamped
down on the traffic in narcotics it might be
well to recall that the best the Japs ever gave
to dwellers in their co-prosperity sphere was
the promise.of a future of happy daze.

EDUCATION CHALLENGED BY TRUMAN
President Truman's statement, upon signing
a joint resolution placing the United States
in the United Nations' educational, scientific
and cultural organization, that "if peace is to
endure, education must establish the moral
unity of mankind," is a direct challenge to the
people of Florida and the entire nation.
He declared further that "the government
of the United States will work with and
through the UNESCO to the end that the
minds of all people may be freed from ignor-
ance, prejudice, suspicion and fear, and that
men may be educated for justice, liberty and
peace." While the president's appeal is na-
tional in scope, its application points specific-
ally to every classroom in Florida from kin-
dergarten through the university.
Times require of government, diplomacy,
business, and all the professions, more and
better personnel and equipment, and more
funds for permanent improvements and up-
keep. The demands of this modern age do
not exempt the schools. All public educational
institutions in Florida must receive more'
funds from the state, and private institutions
must be given more generous contributions
by donors, else their great responsibilities
cannot be adequately met and the challenge of

KEEP THAT INSURANCE, JOE
This month the Veterans Administration is
launching a campaign urging all GI's to re-
tain their government life insurance, or if
they have let it lapse, to have it reinstated.
Probably a lot of you GI's in Gulf county
don't realize it, but that insurance is a real
bargain and one that will be appreciated in
later years. And if you don't think so, just
ask some of the veterans of World War 1
right here in Port St. Joe who failed to keep
up their government insurance. They're all
kicking themselves for being damphools. And,
.Qp the other hand, have a talk with the few
who did keep up their insurance. They can
tell you what it really mans to them today.
Your editor has talked with quite a num-
ber of the local World War II veterans in re-
gard to this matter and was surprised at the
number who have let their insurance lapse.
Why, we can't understand. All we can tell
'em is that "You'll be sorry, Joe, in later years
if you don't keep up that policy."

The doctors say drink plenty of water, the
brewers say drink plenty of beer, and the cof-
fee people say drink plenty of coffee. A per-
son would have to be hollow clear to the heels
to accommodate 'em all.
