Ag.st Tuberculo.s diseases be reported
to the health authorities. The
greatest aid to health authorities
in preventing the spread of a con-
lagious disease is its early recog-
nition.
There is -one contagious disease
which, unfortunately, is seldom
recognized in its early stage. It is
cuberculosis-. This disease at times
reaches an advanced, stage before
unmistakable symptoms appear.
Meanwhile, however, the disease
may be caught bor others. Mean-
while, too, the individual may be
losing his health, for the chances
of recovery' from,'tuberculosis are
greatest when the disease is found
early.
Tuberculosis can be found early
through means of chest X-rays. It
every adult had periodic chest X-
rays every new case of the disease
would be: found early, before the-
individual had lost his, own health
and before he had spread the dis-
ease to others.
Because of the danger which tu-
berculosis presents to the indi-'
vidual and to the community, an
organization was formed here ten
years ago to spread information
about the' disease and how it can
be controlled.

The program opened with the

we were pleasatuly surprised, as
the band had it in three different

stand to direct the band in the
march, "Fighting Irish."
Timothy. Elder, second cornet,
played the stirring hymn, "Beautt-

companieid by the band. Another
hand feature was a trombone duet,
"Red River Valley," by Jimmie

other states.
The opportunity for more agri-
cultural expansion to meet the
state's market lies in two fields,
the growth and development in the
. livestock industry itself and in the
growing of feeds. The state fails
by two-thirds the hay and three-
fourths the grain requirements to
feed its livestock.
.' The production of meat animals
in the state has shown a marked
increase in recent years yet ap-
proximately one hundred twenty,
six pounds of beef, pork and lamb
must be brought into the state
annually to feed the resident anc
tourist population.
Last year eighteen million dozen
eggs were produced in Florida
and almost as many brought in
from other states. The consumer
demand for poultry meat in Florida
was filled by less than half by the
1,000,000 pounds, dressed weight.
of poultry produced in the state.
At present milk is brought into
Florida but previous to the war
the state was producing all th.-
fluid milk it consumed. Produc-
tion last year stood at 341,415,000
pound's of milk and 36,800 pounds
of butterfat, both in addition to
home consumption on the farms.
All the chee-se, most of the butter
and sweet cream is imported.
The manufactured products of
the livestock industry are legion
andt range from fertilizer to poul-
try feathers. Since industry fol-
lows either markets or raw nma
trials, there is an untold oppor-
tunity in Florida for the establish-
ment of manufacturing plants
stemming from the livestock in-
dustry.

Our Country 7- Right or Wrong

LOOK BEFORE YOU SHOOT
The cracking of rifles and the boom ot
-shotguns will be heard in Gulf county Wed-
nesday when the fall hunting season gets un-
der way and hunters are urged to take a good
look at the game before they pull the trigger.
Remember, in your haste to acquire a syl-
van pot roast or a liberal supply of hamburger,
that deer don't wear red, that they walk on
four legs and do not resemble a man in any
way, shape or manner. The most critical deer,
we believe, would agree with us in accepting
the accuracy of this statement of manifold di-
vergence. A deer, for instance, is much more
graceful than a man even a man who has
.been taking rhumba lessons for three months.
-And remember, too, you nimrods, that a
deer has never started a forest fire with a
match or a cigaret. And a deer, of course, has
neyer served up a man, with currant jelly and
sprigs of parsley, even at a stag banquet. In
fact, the ways in which deer differ from men
are so many and so acute that we see no rea-
son at all why there should be a single hunt-
ing season accident in Gulf county.

A THOUSAND YEARS TO GO
Are you concerned about the nation's oil
resources? Well, you might as well put off
your worrying for, according to oil experts,
there's no danger of a shortage of crude oil
at least until the year 3026!
There are many reasons why our oil re-
serves are expected to last for an indefinite
period. For example, large additional reserves
of crude are constantly being found through-
out -the United States. In fact, with all the
test holes being put down right here in Gulf
county, the latest being the one about six
miles south of .town now being drilled by the

Pure Oil Company, we wouldn't be at all sur-
prised if this section.was found to be an oil-
producing area. The development of produc-
ing areas in Latin America and the Middle
.ast should result in a vast amount of the
black gold. And discoveries of ways to obtain
oil by synthetic means are of increasing im-
portance. For instance, one company recently
developed a method of getting crude oil from
shale, which was turned over to the U. S. Bu-
reau of Mines, patent free, for use when and
if necessary.
This goes back to the saying that more oil
comes out of the laboratory than out of the
ground. The enormous progress in the tech-
niques of extracting and reclaiming oils from
the crude product has in itself added billions
of barrels to our potential supply. So don't
worry about it-at least for a thousand years!

"HOUSES FOR VETS" FAILS
The new commander of the American Le-
gion, Col. Paul H. Griffith, advises veterans
not to buy or build now, saying that they can-
not afford, "in this period of inflation," to
take on the, responsibility of $10,000 for a
p4000 house.
The American Legion official says that the
aw\v. establishing veterans preferences and pri-
orities turned out to provide only "licenses to
hunt materials." During the war, he points
out, pribritiies were extended back to the
manufacturer but, in connection with vet-
erans' homes, the priorities do not go back to
the manufacturer, who can sell to whom he
pleases.
The "true facts" of the "deplorable situa-
tion" will be given to the public shortly, as-
serts the colonel, who says that "we are all
to blame-the government, the states, the
communities, civic bodies, business. industry
and labor."
We are" quite sure that many veterans will
be interested in any steps that will improve
what seems to be a failure to.,provide houses
for veterans at reasonable cost. Just how this
is to,be accomplished, in a free market with-
out governmental controls, escapes us, but we
are in favor of anything that will make
homes available to homeless veterans, at rea-
sonable cost.-Gadsden County Times.

Turkey's recent statement that she is ready
to fight on five minutes notice has caused
Olin Miller to comment: "In an atomic war
that would be just three minutes after the
war was over."

The latest rumor going the rounds in Wash-
ington, we understand, is that Secretary Krug
is going to ask the owners to seize the mines..
