Let's Put the Gulf County Red Cross Chapter j "Over the Top" j THE The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF GULF COUNTY VOLUME X PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1947 e NUMBER 25 Six Died of Cancer Poll Shows Opposition In Gulf Last Year State Board of Health To Develop Case-Finding and Control Pro- gram To Reduce Toll The fact that six lives were lost in Gulf county last year because of cancer-lives of persons' who, had they consulted their physicians early enough and received ade- quate treatms.nt might have been alive today--was revealed yester- day by Dr. Terry Bird, Gulf county health officer. He pointed out that these, deaths represented 18 per cent of the deaths from leading causes in the county-a percent- age entirely too high for a prevent- able disease. During the same, period, there was. a total of 2,562 deaths from cancer in the entire state, repie- senting a terrific toll of lives from a disease that can be controlled when found in time. TIhe. tremendous number of lives being taken by cancer each year has prompted every state in the nation to organize cancer case- finding and control programs to substantially reduce deaths from this disease.

W. Broadnax, who discovered the rare species while on a fishing trip. The ,birds,, which subsist only onil . the protozoa found, in the waters of but a few sections of the world, apparently have been breeding in the Willis area for a considerable numilber of years, for the skeletons of almost a hundred were found by Brooks and Broad-nax hanging on trees near the colony. The Bobble seems to know when it is, about to die and prepares, lbr death by an- choring itself firmly to a branch, head down. Eight of these rare and beautiful birds were brought back to Port St. Joe by the two fishermen and are on display in the window of the. Brooks Sporting Goods Store on-Monument Avenue, where they sit grouped around a bowl of water, imbibing freely and chattering hap- pily to one another. A five gallon can of water from Willis was brought back by Dan for the bene- fit of his feathered guests. Everyone is urged to drop by the sporting goods store and view the rare birds.

To White Primary Bill Partial polls of the membership of the Plorida legislature reveals about 'a two-to-one majority op. p-osing the plan of Sen. John BE. Mathews for a white Democratic primary.

Our Country a Right or Wrong GIVE TO THE RED CROSS There is every reason why 'the people of Gulf county should make it their business to 'see that the goal set for the campaign of the American Red Cross is promptly met. It is a relatively small amount for us to contribute to the great work of the organization which -'is, after all, our representative in the fight against disease, disaster and the ills that be- set service men and their families. The goal set for Gulf county amounts to about 35 cents for each person in the county, a relatively small contribution for us to pay' as (1) something like insurance to provide re- lief in the event of disaster and epidemics and (2) as a cheerful participation in the guaran- teeing the same service for others. We hope that the people here will not get the idea that the work of the Red Cross ended with the war. It is true that many demands have been diminished and that the organiza- tion will not need to spend as much as it did in the last fiscal year, when its expenditures for services to the armed forces totaled $107,- 000,000. The need for assistance to ex-service men is great and, in addition, there is much to be done for the hundreds of thousands still ini the arnled forces. For young men in the occupation forces, for ,wounded veterans at.home and to the families Sof. veterans facing difficult adjustment in the days of peace, the American Red Cross has much to do. This work cannot be accomplished without the financial aid of the people of the United States who are the sdle source of revenue for the organization. .,-- -The peace-time program of the Red Cross alone merits the confidence and loyal support of us all. It continues to carry succor and hope to Mihe victims of disaster, flood, tornado, hur- ricane and wreck. It seeks intelligently to build the nation's health and to conserve its human resources. It must be prepared, at all times, to meet unlimited demands for the al- leviation of suffering and the mitigation of despair, Surely, the work of the Red Cross ig too well known to require additional elucidation. The only purpose of this editorial is to call the campaign to the attention of the,people of Gulf county in the confidence that this will be sufficient to cause our people to meet their share of the budget requirements for the present campaign. WHERE WE CAME IN When 'the first atomic bomb exploded in .New' Mexico, the desert sand turned to fused green glads. This fact has given certain archiato'ofist- a'- turn. They have been digging in the ancient Euphrates Valley and have uncovered a layer of agrarian culture 8000 years old, and a layer of herdsman culture much-older,.and a still older caveman culture.. Recently they reached another layer of fused green glass. Think it over, brother. -This Week. Only 55 of Florida's legislators are native- born, according to statistics compiled by Sec- retary of State Bob Gray, who commented it should be an "intelligent" session, as 87' have' had college training. AGAINST A SALES TAX J. E. Webb of St. Petersburg is outstanding among the retail merchants of the United States. He knows about all there is about the retail business, how to help it, how to hurt it. He's talking vigorously against a suggested state sales tax. Because of his high place in the retail world, his words are entitled to thoughtful consideration. Webb told the Mi'ami Herald: - Florida is becoming a retailer's paradise, if it is not cursed with a sales tax. All over Flor- ida, millions of dollars are being put into new store buildings, with every type of fixtures and lighting devices that science can provide. New architectural beauty helps create a buy- ing mood with our visitors. We are making all the other states third- raters in comparison with promoting new business. nl a 10,000-mile tour, just completed, I could find no state with anything compar- able to offer the buying public in' attractive stores, good merchandise and pleasant shop- ping conditions. All this building, all these improvements, will pay off 'huge dividends if the legislature doesn't strangle the whole program with a sales tax. Visitors to Florida must be kept in a good buying mood and n'ot harassed with nuisance taxes and objectionable features that arrest sales. A visitor kept in a happy buying mood will spend more for luxuries in a month down here than he will spend back home in the other eleven months of the year-if we keep him in that nmood. A general sales tax of 3 per cent would cost the average man's family $75 a year. A state sales tax would reduce sales of some com- modities as much as 50 per cent. The mer- chants and public should be on their guard to head off a sales tax at this coming legislative session. ; Florida should do nothing that would, in any way, operate against the state's commer- cial progress. It should do nothing to injure any legitimate line of business. It should do nothing to' discourage the buying public. It should do nothing to antagoniize visitors to ,the state.. The general sentiment is that a state sales tax would do all of these harmful things.' If the legislature can be convinced of this, it will kill the sales tax proposal.-Tampa Tribune. THE CHANGING TIMES During' *he war, and for some time after it ended, stores here in Port' t. foed !ad tQ take whatever goods were offered them, even when prices were high and quality was low. Con- sumers had to be content with smaller and poorer stocks to choose from. This was a sit- uation that couldn't be helped-it was the cer- tain consequence of war's insatiable demands on our producing machine. Now, however, times seem to be rapidly changing-and for. the better. Our local busi- ness men are casting jaundiced eyes on sub- standard merchandise. They are questioning prices which seem out of line. They know that their customers will again demand the best possible product for the least possible price- and they are out to meet that demand. This certainly doesn't mean that prices are going to crack wide open-the pressures are still inflationary in many cases. But it does in- dicate that there is going to be less and less shoddy merchandise here in Port St. Joe-and more and more goods which offer maximum -and dependable value in their price brackets. And. by-the sanie token, store stocks are once more being built up to approximations of pre- war abundance and selection. And believe it or not. uvr Port St. Joe mer- chants are as pleased as anyone else to see the economy of scarcity gradually disappear. Wonder what the 1947 legislature will do in the way of raising taxes? We canl-hardly expect that august body to lower them. Optimist and pessimist are often wrong, but the optimist has the.most fun.

MARCH 21. 1947 THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FIVE Committee Urges Tax Commission For State A state tax commission to super- 'vise and, aid in the assessment of .property values in Florida's 67 counties has 'been recommended by the citizens' tax committee. Despite some improvements since 1940, the committee reported, prop- erty valuations "do not yet ap- proach the full value required by 'law and there is a wide range in the levels at which taxes are assessed, in the several counties." It was further recommended that the commission. be granted' consti- tutional authority to act as an equalization agency to adjust valu- ations in-the various counties and as, an appeal agency in the. equali- zation of individual assessments. The committee said "extensive constitutional amendment" would be required( to give the agency such broad .powers. Even with the substantial finan- cial aid now given the counties by the state, the .property tax re- mains its chief sources of revenue, the committee said, and its proper administration. is, vital to the , "healthy fiscal" condition of all lo- cal governments'. Three reasons cited by the com- mittee for the variAd and inequal assessments, were: Lack' of state supervision, lack of sufficient fa- cilities, and personnel 'by the tax assessors of smaller counties, and the. advantage a county can obtain in state subsidies and state-as- sessedi taxes by keeping its valua- tions low. Since 1941 when the so-called i00 per cent assessed valuation law was enacted', the .committee saiht property valuations have increased 21 per cent. However, it added, dur- ing the same period Florida's, pop- ulation increased more than, 30 per ce-nt and "property values ha.d increased enormously." The committee said another re- sult of under-valuation is that a la gcr proportion of property is covered by homestead' exemptions and' thereby removed from the tax rolls. Florida exempts homesteads up to an assessed' valuation of $5000, but the committee said' "many in- .stances can be found where no taxes are paid on valuable resi- dences, apartment houses and ex- tensive farms! with actual values of $20,000 or more.." The citizens .group also recom- mendied the tax commission be a'. thorized to. make a comprehensive study of all tax exemptions in Florida and submit a report to the 1949 legislature. A preliminary report indicates considearble abuse of the present charitable, f.taternal and religious exemptions, and th e'. committee said these, a-long with homestead exemptions, "constitute a definite danger to the entire property tax structure " It pays to advertise try it! YOUR ARMY DO ITS PART FOR PEACE WITH the President's proposal for the discontinuance of Selective Service on March 31, America will rely on voluntary enlistments for the maintenance of the Regular Army at authorized strength. In view of world conditions today, this is a step of the gravest importance to every American citizen. Never before in history has any nation raised and maintained a million-man army by the volunteer system alone. Our ideals, our belief in individual freedom, our safety and our duty to promote world peace all are bound up in this decision. Th your Army, and voluntary enlistment is your choice. It must not fail. 'With your help it will not fail. The Army must continue to 'provide adequate occupa- tion forces overseas, to supply these forces, and to help in keeping America strong and secure. P, Your help and understanding can do much to en- courage a steady flow of 3-year voluntary enlistments, necessary to sound training and the efficient performance of the Army's task. When you discuss this subject with your sons, brothers, husbands or friends who may be considering an Army career, bear. in mind the advantages offered by a 3-year enlistment. Among them are the choice of branch of service and of overseas theater where openings exist, and the opportunity for thorough training in valuable skills. A job in the new Regular Army compares favorably with the average in industry, and has more opportunities for promotion than most. You can help by giving your respect and support to the man who enlists voluntarily to do his part in carry- ing out your country's world-wide obligations to build a peace that will endure. ROBERT P.
