Buccaneers Down Saints 4-1 Sunday Visitors Matke Up for 13-7 Defeat Suffered On Home Field Previous Sunday Evidently not suffering from an inferiority complex as the. r esult of a 13-7 pasting received at the hands of the. Saints the previous Sund'ay on their home grounds, the Blountstown Buccaneers took the Port St. Joe 'ball team down the line Sunday at the local- ball park by a score, of 4''to 1 in a pre-season practice tilt lit drew "somn 400- spectators. The Visitors- made all their runs in the third inning' when 'Terry Hinote, starting on the mound for the Saints, walked three men to load the bases and his teammates made a series ot errors t6 let four meni cross home plate. 'The Saints made their lone tally in the sixth when Bennie Burke walked and stole -second' and Frank Hannon and Jim McCall were walked, to load the: bases. Tommy Mitchell had a. chalice to make a hero of himself, but struck out, Lamar Sales ditto. Burke came in when Dave Hinote was hit by the pitcher, and' the possible rally came to an end when "Fish" Herring flied- ,.. to centerfield'. On the'mpund for the Saints dur- ing the game were Hinote, Jimmy Adams and Lefty Thomason, with Bent Cox and' Lamar Sales receiv- ing. May .went the full route for Blountstown. The Buccaneers evidently re- memlbered Leonard Belin's, prowess at the bat from last year, for the two times he. came to. the plate he was deliberately walked.

In an appeal to the women of Gulf county to support the so- ciety's April drive for funds to fight cancer through education, service and research, the speaker pointed out that from 800 to 1200 ne-edless deaths are occurring in Florida each year.

Sales Tax Bill Again Pops Up Provides for 3 Per Cent Levy On Many Commodities, Rentals, Amusement Tickets The old bugaboo sales tax has reared its head again in the 1947 session of the state, legislature with the introduction by Se-na- tor W. A. Shands of Gainesville, a leader of the powerful majority cloc in the senate, of a bill calling ior a 3 per cent sales tax to be applied against nearly all com- modities, rentals and amusement tickets. He estimates' it worid, produce from $60;000,000 to $100,000,000 a year, and proposes earmarking the receipts for public schools, college construction, welfare and for par- tial distribution to cities and coun- ties on a system designed to force NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPLY FOR LOCAL LEGISLATION Notice is hereby given that the undersigned will apply to the cur- rent 1947 session of the Florida Legislature for the passage of an Act, entitled as follows, to-wit: AN ACT creating, establishing and organizing a fire control dis- trict in Gulf County, Florida,' to be. known and designated as St. Jos- eph Fire Control District; defining its territorial boundaries.; provid- ing for its government, administra. tion, jurisdic-tion, power and priv- ileges; providing for three com- miseioners and their met-hod of sr- lection, who shall be the governing authority of said dIistrict; author- izing said commissioners, under certain conditions, to purchase, op- erate and, maintain fire control ma- chinery and equipment; providing or the operation and use of said machinery and equipment; provid- ing for the co-operation of such district with other fire control units within or adjacent to. said district; providing for the inter- change and use of such fire con- trol machinery and, equipment with other fire control units within or adjacent to said district; provid- ing for the appointment of a fire chief and assistants,, which may ib-. interchanged and assisted by the personnel of other fire control units within or adjacent to said district; providing for and au- thorizing the levy of an ad valorem tax upon all real estate and per- sonal property in said district not to exc(e.d one-half mill for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining and operating fire control equip- ment and machinery; providing that such district shall not pu-- chase any equipment unlee- funds are on hand to pay for same; pro- viding that the fire chief of such dist''ict shall have police power to enforce all fire control laws or the State of Florida within such dis- trict. and repealing all laws in con- flict herewith. The territory to be included within such fire control district shall be generally all of that ter- ritory within Gulf County, Florida, lying south and west of the Intra- Coastal Canal. and that territory adjacent to White City north and ea't of said canal, and excluding all territory withinthin the corporate Limits of the City of Port St. Joe.

The bill would also cut a penny off the tax of three cents on each bottle of beer, reduce the present cigaret tax to three cents a paci- age from four, .and trim the whis- key tax from $1.92 to $1.20 a gallon. Real estate, sales would be taxed at 2 per cent, but all other taxable sales, and- rentals would bear the 3 per cent levy. The sales tax act would be ad- ministered by the state beverage director, who would collect the levies from retailers, landlords and amusement owners, but the bill provides, specifically that the tax must be passed on to the consumer or tenant. No tax would be paid on milk, meat, edible groceries, power, fer- tilizers and seed, school books, school lunches, newspapers., farm products when sold by the pro- ducer or bought for processing, nor on alcoholic, beverages, manu- factured tobacco products and mo- tor vehicle fuels, which are taxeo separately. On small purchases, to avoid actionss of counts, there would be no tax for a single sale of less than 9 cents, a one-cent tax on sales from 9 through 40 cents., two cent- on sales in amounts from 41 cents through 70 cents,, three cents on sales of 71 cents or more. The sime bracket would apply to odd cents in sales amounting to more than .a dollar. A group of pur- chases at the same time from the '-ame store would be classified as a single sale. Considerable opposition, is de- veloping against the measure, and while it may pass the senate, it is predicted the representatives will fail to approve it.

This simple truth, phrased by George Wash- ington, shines forth more brightly\ today to guide the United States than it did when he uttered it 157 years ago. History emphasizes and reinforces his wisdom. -If Amlerican civilization is to endure, we must be ready to defend it. If peace is to be. assured, the United States must remain strong. A huge standing army and navy, how- ever, are .foreign to-our traditions. How, then, can we remain strong? - :One of the surest, most economical ways to accomplish this is through a vigorous, na- tional guard and naval reserve, the local, v61l- unteer, civilian organizations that mean real worthwhile spare time jobs for the young m.n of the nation. -.. .. This is the Amefican way, for always in American history it has been the civilians who have borne the brunt of defending our ideals. This is the democratic way, [or what can be'more democratic than citizens volun- tetring 'a.pait of their spare timhe-.that tthey-t may be trained to defend their homes, their state, their nation? These two services are vital to all of us as forces to be trained, equipped and ever ready for instant mobilization to supplement the regular army and navy in time of threat. They commend themselves for many other reasons. -Here at home, the individual may train -while pursuing his regular occupation and' living a normal civilian life. He draws a full day's regular pay for two hours of spare time training a week and for each of 15 days of fiekl training. He may learn new skills, or im- prove old ones, and acquire valuable experi- ence in organization and leadership. Port St. Joe can't have a national guard unit, their being such organizations at Pan- ama City, Apalachicola and Marianna in this section of Florida, but iwe could have a naval reserve unit if a sufficient number of young men would take an interest in it. Such a unit would be a community asset. It would be a- spark to real community service. It would be citizenship at work. The community and lo- cal merchants would benefit, too, from fed- eral funds. We have been assured of a communications unit in Port St. Joe as a starter, and as the number of men joining up increases, we could expect the installation of various types of equipment and perhaps eventually an armory, or whatever it is the naval reserve uses. T hm Coledewey is the local recruiting of- ficer and has all the dope for anyone who is interested in joining-. 'I AM AN AMERICAN DAY' Annually, by resolution of congress in 1940, National Citizens Week is observed in May and "I Am An American Day" will be its cli- max this year on May 18. Federal, state and local governments and private organizations will foster programs in many cities through- out the country. The program is designed especially to honor the 2,000,000 young men and women who reach' their majority during the previous 12-month period and to impress on foreign-born citizens the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. This is something which is not only needed by those two groups, but also by our adult citizens. President Truman asks for exercises "designed to help our citizens better under- stand their privileges and responsibilities as participants in our representative democracy." Judging from the number of voters who turn out in Port St. Joe at times when mat- ters of importance to the city as a whole are to be passed upon, our people need to be im- pressed with their responsibility in their own city government. .We understand a south Florida legislator paid $750 cash for 60-day rental of a house in Tallahassee while the legislature is in session.

CANCER FUND DRIVE (Continued from Page 1) not realize how serious those warnings can be until it is too lat"," Mrs. Kenney declared. -She poin-ted out that Florida al- ready 'has' launched a comprehen- sive program to plaice information a'b.uiit cancer in as many homes as possible. From funds raiseCt last year the Florida division of the American Cancer Society also established facilities which pro- vide such -things as protection, di- agnosis, treatment, nursing, serv- ice, bandages and dressings, in 12 counties. At the same time, the Florida division of the American Cancer Society was able to con- tribute nearly $40,000 to the na- tion's research effort. Plan's this year call for raising $150,000 to maintain the program already under way. More will be needed if the activity is, to be ex- panded, Mrs. Kenney said. Gulf county has a minimum goal of $1-200 at its share of the. state total. The speaker said the drive for funds to fight cancer is like going to the rescue of someone in dan- ger and declared that she had no doubt that Gulf county would go far beyond its minimum- goal in the campaign. Basil E. Kenney is serving as county campaign chairman. Less than 100,000 miles of the 3.000,000 miles of U. S. highways are paved with concrete.

It was demons-trated t h a t oats., when grown under correct soil prepara- tion, hadt great possibilities for solving the winter feed problem. The tour ended with an inspec- tion of two 'clover crops grown in the. flatlands around the W. T. Ed- wards ranch at a point approxi- mately ten miles, from Port St. Joe on the Wewahitchka highway. The Dutch clover grown under wet :.oil conditions reached 13 inches after three months' growth. J.
