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-

Meat Prices Here Show

Little Or No Increase


With removal of meat controls
ordered, by President Truman this
week, prices in Port St. Joe mar-
kets showed little or no increase.
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.

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

ommended, a federal appropriation

In reply to a request from Presz-
dent George Tapper, J. L. Sharit,

plans he thought the Jaycees should
best follow in its pursuit. Sharit,

Deep Water for Harbor

is familiar with the port and it's
facilities, and it was through his
efforts that the harbor today has
a 28-foot channel, a depth that waa
adequate prior to the war when
only shallow draft vessels called at
the port for cargoes. 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

Ex-Governor Martin Urges
Young Democrats to Return
Party To Old "Principles"

Advocating the old fashioned
Democratic principles established
and followed by Washington, Jef-
ferson, Jackson and Cleveland, for-
mer Governor John W. Martin of
Jacksonville addressed the opening
.session Saturday of the annual
state convention of the Young Dem-
ocratic Clubs of Florida which met
in Orlando.
The former chief executive urged
the Young Democrats to turn a
deaf ear to the policies of "Karl
Marx, Stalin, Lenin and all the rest
of that tribe," and return the Dem-
ocratic party to "the fundamental
principles upon which it was
founded."
Defining himself as "pro-Amerl-
can," he also urged a return to the
"old-fashioned democracy which be-
lieves that the people must main-
tain the government and not that
the government must support the
people."

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.

IrS A TOUGH FIGHT!

J IGHTING the battle of old man shortage is one
tough encounter, as every homemaker will
testify. Your electrical servant is having a
rough time keeping ahead of these shortages in get-
ting electric service to all those who request it.

It seems that there just isn't enough wire, trans-
formers, poles and the thousand and one other neces-
sary items to build electrical service extensions as
fast as they are requested.

So when you plan to build or remodel, please give
us as much advance notice as possible, so that every
effort can be made to have the convenience of electri-
cal service. where you want it when you want it.

You can be sure that your electrical servant will
beat this old man shortage, but it's going to take a
few tough rounds of heavy fighting.
