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. Florida, too, h'as taken
this progressive, step and has re-
.ceived a small appropriation of
federal funds this year to organize

Bird Thought Extinct Is
Found Near Port St. Joe

Bird lovers of this section were
all a dither this week when it was
learned that several Bobble birds,
ancestors of the, bobolink, long
thought to be extinct by ornitholo-
gists, had been brought in from
the Willis Swamp section by Dan
Brooks and G. 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.

Plantings of Clover and
Grass Showing Promist

The. Wewahitchka experiment
station mobile unit has some good
plantings of white Dutch cloverl-
and dallas grass "that show real
promise. Weather conditions per-
mitting, these should. look very
good with the opening of spring.

George Curlee of Blountstown
this week accepted a position on

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.
Two polls have been taken, one
by a press association and the
other by a Miami daily, but only
about one-third of the 'legislature
bothered to answer.
Other trends discovered in the
poll originating in Miami showed
those who expressed themselves
as for a new state, constitution,
against the Florida League. of Mu-
nicipalities program for cities to
g2,t cigarette tax money and
against re-ducing beer and cigar-
ette taxes. A substantial majority

Cigaret Tax Stamps Now To
Be Affixed By Wholesalers

The city commission at its ses-
sion Tuesday night passed, an or-
dinance revising cigaret tax col-
lections, by the city which requires
that the city's tax stamps be af-
fixed to the packages by the whole-
sale dealers instead of by the re-
tailers. A 10 per cent discount is
allowed the wholes'al,,rs as com-
pensation for the labor required 'in
affixing the stamps..'
It is. believed that- more revenue
will accrue to the city through this
system than in the past, even with
deduction of the 10 per cenat.

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.

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.

Capital Gets Set For
Meet of Lawmakers
Signs of an approaching legisla-
tive session are shown in Tallahs-
see in the freshly painted capitol
corridors and the local emphasis
on beautifying homes and gardens;
Other signs are appeals for
rooms and apartments for legis-
lators and attaches. Plans to stag-
ger lunch periods of state em-
ployes during the session so city
restaurants will be able to handle
hundred's of extra customers. Cloth-
ing storeslurging customers to pur-
chase new outfits in order to have
their best feet forward during the
legislature.
Frantic efforts to complete, the
south wing of the capitol before
April 8, when the senate will be
ready to open proceedings in its
new chamber. Oil burners are oe-
ing used to dry paint so application
of second coats can be speeded.
Spring cleaning in the lofty
house chamber, even extending to
sweeping the fibre block ceiling,
resulting in showering floors and
desks with sawdust-like particles,
making the house look as' if it had
been struck by a sandstorm.
Much remains to be done, how-
ever, before -the session begins
next month. New names must be
posted on the lhoise's two big vot-
ing boards and county nanimes on
representatives' desks must be re-
shuffled to accord with the 1945 re-
alpportionment of house member-
ship. Putnam, Madison and Suwan-
nee counties will have only one
representative apiece this session,
the three seats they lost going to
Sarasota, Brevard and Lee.
