tary: "We may be getting old and

Manager Ed Lapeyrouse of the

with hard muscles, not a bunch of

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.
A second practice tilt will' be
staged here next Sundtay when the
Saints, meet a team from Donald-
sonville, Ga.

Cancer Fund Drive

Mrs. B. E. Kenney Points Out That
Needless Lives Are Lost Due
To ProcraStination

Two hundred fi-fty thousand men,
women and children alive today in
Florida will die of cancer if the
present death rates continues, Mrs.
Basil E. Kenney told members of
the house to house committee in a
talk sponsored by the Gulf county
unit of -the American Cancer So-
ciety.
"But, if we do something about it
at 'least 83.000 of them can J)e
saved from the. horrible .suffering
of a cancer death,"she declared.
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.
"Medical science .today has the
means to save ,from one-third to
one-half of those wlio develop eaa-
car. But patients mtlht go to their
doctors early while the disease Is
still in its curable' stages. Unfor-
tunately, pain seldom comes until
the last stages of cancer, and pa-
tienits neglect visiting their doc-
tois when the suspicious signs
that may mean early cancer,
appear. They don't i now how to
'recognize those vague symptoms
which may mean cancer. They do

real estate taxes down.
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.

Our Country Right or Wrong

A NAVAL RESERVE UNIT FOR ST- JOE?
"To be prepared for war is one of the most
effectual ways of preserving peace."
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.
His pay for the session will be $360. Can't
.blame the.boys much for asking a pay boost.

A professor has said that women don't
know how to talk. (This item comes under the
"How's That Again?" department).-Winter
Haven Herald.

We notice where a big baking concern is
producing toasted bread. What we'd like to
see is toasted bread that has already been
scraped.

Shucks! Everything seemed to be running
along pretty smoothly, and now the legisla-
ture is in session.-Gadsden County Times,

Best simile of the week: She was so thin
that her gown looked as thought it hung from
a nail.

Many a winter tourist carried an alligator
home from Florida stretched over a suitcase.

bers respond when called upon.
Many new books; have arrived.
Membership cards are now being
sold, by members' of the Junior

users of the lilbra;y have these

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.

(Continued From Page One)
in the cere-al feed exhibits. 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. Lee Smith,,,.pointed out that
the cattle-men's demonstration had
proved that grazing crops would
thrive in Gulf county's varied soils
on a profitable basis.
Making the tour from Port St.
Joe were J. Lamar Miller, Henry
Maige, Welton Roolhe, A. D. Law-
son and the writer.
