Women's League , Asks Voters Study Six Amendments Believes It Is Duty of Everyone to Learn Meanings and Vote On Propositions The Florida Non-Partisan League of Women Voters, with headquar- ters in St. Petersburg, in an effort to get out the vote and, to inform voters in regard to the six amend- ments to the. state constitution which will appear on the Novem- Iber 5 ballot, are mailing circulars to the voters containing a simpli- fied, non-partisan resume of each :iinendment, numbered as they ap- pear on the. ballot, which we re- print below. The first three amendments in- dicate the widespread local, state and national trend toward consoli- dation of offices, and to fixing re- sponsibility' on officials. Four and five are statewide; four concerned with the office of the budget direc- tor, and five with appropriations. Six returns again to a county issue. No. 1-Refers to Orange county.

One or two dealers boosted some cuts five to six cents a pdund, but the majority are selling what meat they have on hand at prices that prevailed before ceilings were re- moved. It is anticipated that by next week there will be a fairly steady flow of meat to the markets, but probably at prices much higher than at present, due to the spiral- ing prices of/livestock, which are hitting new all-time highs. The surprise removal of ceilings on meat produced a flood of bitter recriminations from both sides- of the political fence. Labor leaders denounced the president, the Dem- ocrats blamed the Republicans for the forced move, arid the Republi- cans say that Truman remove controls in an endeavor to prevent a Republican victory at the Novem- ber election. Anyway. with possible abolish- men't of practically all ceilings by the first of the year it will mean removal of thousands of OPA em- ployes from the government pay- roll which should give the taxpayer a slight tax reduction in order to pay the" higher prices for goods and food.

Lamplighter Features 1946 Xmas TB Seal Fortieth Annual Seal Sale By Gulf County TB Association Will Open November 25 A cheerful lamplighter, symboliz- ing the emergence of fresh hope af- ter the darkness of the past years, is featured on the 1946 Christmas Seal, which has been received at headquarters of the Gulf County Tuberculosis Association, according to Harry Saunders, seal sale chair- man. Gulf county will join with the rest of the nation in the 40th an- nual Chritstmas Seal S0'%l to ra ise funds for the control of tuberculo- sis, which will be conducted from November 25 to Christmas. Of the money raised, 95 per cent will be .used. within Florida for local and statewide campaigns against tu- berculosiS. The remaining 5 per cent will be: forwarded, to the Na- tional Tuberculosis Association to support services performed, on '1 na- tional level to further tuberculosis control. Christmas Seals were first solar in this country in 1907 when Miss Emily P. Bissell of Wilmington, Del.. adopting an idea from Den- mark, promoted a seal sale for the benefit of patients in a small tu- berculosis hospital. That first seal sale was so successful that the fol- 'owing year it was conducted on a national scale to raise funds for tuberculosis control. and has been nationwide since then. In honor of the. 40th annual seal sale, each sheet of 100 seals this vear carries four special portrait seals. They are of Miss Bissell: Jacob Riis. Danish-American, wtho had written an article urging a Christmas Seal to fight tuberculo- sis in the United States; E. A. Van Valkenburg. editor and publisher of the Philadelphia North American, and Leigh MitcheTl Hodges, col- umpnist on that paper, who had promoted Miss Bissell's seal.

Need 32-Foot Channel If Attempt Is Made To Have Port Named As River Project Terminus Deep water for St. Joe harbor it any attempt is to be made to have this city designated as the 'Gulf terminal for t h e Apalachicola- Chattahoochee waterway develop- ment was pushed ahead of other industrial projects in the Junior Chamber of Commerce program at its meeting Monday night. The need of a 32-foot channel across the bar and into the inner channel was declared by Jake Be- lin a "must." According to Belu all other endeavors will be stymied unless deep water into the port be- comes an actuality. He asked tie body to decide immediately on what course to follow in order to get started on this project. Belin went on to tell Tils fellow members that according to the in- formation he had, the army engi- neers made a survey of the port and its, facilities about a year and a half ago, and that the district engineer had approved the pro- posed channel work. The, house livers and harbors committee rec- ommended, a federal appropriation for dredging and maintaining deep water in the harbor during the last. congress. However, the senate rivers and harbors committee did not concur with the house resolu. tion. 1ielit ,. sdd 9 e h ..1 .,i '. .dx tii1 just, recently Pi resident Truman had clamped down on harbor im- provement and this will make, our job none the easier, but still our commerce and economy, as far as we along the Gulf coast are con- cerned., are suffering from lack of proper facilities to meet port de- mands. In reply to a request from Presz- dent George Tapper, J. L. Sharit, new associate member, outlines plans he thought the Jaycees should best follow in its pursuit. Sharit, perhaps more than any other indi- vidiual, has worked hard for the betterment of St. Joe's harbor.

Large tans.- ers and freighters entering our port today must come under light load in order to shallow the drafts to cross the bar. Sharit turned his file on harbor improvement over to the Jaycees in* order that the group could la- miliarize itself with the history of the port and get pertinent infor- mation on how to go about its work. President Tapper named a com- mittee to push the project thru, and, a second, committee was ap- pointed to solicit the aid of other interested groups. in order to lend impetus to the drive. 0 Attend TB Regional Meeting Mrs. B.

Our Country Right or Wrong THE SCOURGE OF CHILDREN It is the nature of infantile paralysis, the fact that it concentrates on children, that makes this disease particularly dreaded. The risk of a severe attack of this disease lessens, after a child reaches the age of ten, and the chances of a child contracting it in the severe form utinder that age is only three in a thou- sand, even during an epidemic. There is small comfort in. that fact, however, for there is one chance- in a thousand that a child under ten will.be crippled for life. In 1944 a severe polio epidemic permanently handicapped five thou- sand children in this country. Medical scientists are still mystified over many aspects of the disease. Some believe that the reason it is particularly deadly to children is that a majority of people must have had mild cases and thus gained a practical immun- ity without ever being aware of it. Some are virtually certain that the disease is transmitted by "human contact." It is still unknown whe- ther that contact is always direct or whether it may sometimes be indirect. Flies and other insects have been suspected as possible carry- .ing agents, but no insect has been definitely incriminated. From what scientists know, and from what they suspect, some reasonable safeguards against the disease have been promulgated. Parents are cautioned to prevent their young- sters from becoming excessively fatigued, to keep them away from crowds and, wher- ever possible, to postpone surgical operations scheduled for their children during an epi- demic. The guilt of insect carriers is su strongly suspected that constant insect-con- trol campaigns are considered practical. The question in our minds as we watch the pigskin flying through the crisp fall air is what happened to what the pigskin used to cover? The things that come to the man who waits are usually not worth waiting for. Go Fishing On Lakes Mrs. L. T.
