It was' a fast game, free from the usual errors (but two errors :beiag made by .both teams), and can be compared to the last game of the Marianna series Of last year, when the Saints set Marianna down 2 0. It was Iby far the. best game of this season. -Clifton 'Robbins hurled ,a three- lhit game and had the Spartans eat, ing out'of his hand throughout the tilt.' His control was perfect, ana he set eight Spartans down by the strikeout route. His IPast ball was 'whizzing all afternoon, as Cox's catching hand will attest. Only seven Spartans re-ached first, with ibut one Teaching third. With one out in the first, Dendy .walked and scored from first on -Belin's double to left. In the second inning, David Hi- note 'walked, stole second and scored on Ro'bbins' single to left.

Among other 'features of the game was a catch made 'by Slugger rMcCall in deep center field when 'he pulled down a sure triple run- ning backward at full speed. uSlick Edwards, playing left field, made a nice running catch on a 1'". drive. down the foul line.

It is a fitting day to revalu- ate the Four Freedoms for which we have engaged in three wars to maintain. Let us remember that in essence they ate the same freedoms fought for and won for us in the struggling 1770's-and that they are the sum total of all that makes life worthwhile. To truly honor our forefathers who fought for lib- erty, let us today give honor to those still living who have fought for the glory of the Four Freedoms, that every man, woman and child might live in peace and security. s- -' -C c-rhm Wrr~m- Ball Game Here This Afternoon Milton, Leading Northwest Florida League, Will Meet Saints; Fid- dler's Convention Tonight While no extensive preparations were made for observance of the Fourth of July in Port St. Joe, a baseball game has been arranged by Floyd Hunt wiith the Milton team, which i's leading the North- west Florida League with 18 wins and 3 losses, ajrd *the Saints This Fourteen Local Scouts Are Thos.

Sellers, representing the Thornton Mohr Company of Mont- goumery, Ala.,' and Joseph P. Lom- bardo, representing Stubb's, 'Smith and Lomlbardo oft Birmingham, Ala., in-vestment 'bankers, appeared be- fore the board with respect to re- financing the city dredging and water and sewer 'bonds. The two' banking houses were contacted On June. 1 by Mayor Horace Soule and asked to send, representatives to meet with the city commission on July 1. By refinancing the city's bonded indebtedness a lower rate of inter- est would be secured and, accord- ing to Mayor Soule, bonds could /be retired at any time the city had a cash reserve.. At present the bonds become due and payable on speci- filed dates., together with interest, and may not be taken up before the. due date. This "would create a considerable 'savings on interest payments, according to the mayor. According to figures furnished Mayor Soule by Clerk M. P. Tom- linson, there are still outstanding $165.00. o' f dredgingn, b.onds and $163,000 of water and sewer bonds, both issues drawing interest at tho rate of four per cent. The original issues were $175,000 in dredging bonds, issued in 1937, and $200,000 in water -and sewer bond's, issued July 1, 19-36. The dredging bond's become pay- ,ble $9000 on January 1 of each year for three years and then a payment of $8000, the last bond be- comning due January 1, 1959. These payments, with interest, have been met to date. Yearly payments on the water and *sewer bonds come to $12,000, $6000 on January 1 of each year and $6000 on July 1 of each year.

Americans celebrate today, joyously, enthusiastically, as they have done for almost a century and three- quarters, because they are privileged to live under the flag that guarantees the greatest freedom of any on earth. America has proved to the world and to its own satisfaction that there can be a govern- iment by and with the consent of the people that will endure. No country is wealthier, no country has a government more stable, in no country is there greater safety, and in no country is there more liberty in a large way. In some respects we have been curtailed in some of our liberties; in recent years there has been a growing. tendency to-restrict, but by and large the United States is the most in- dependent, the freest and the, most liberal of all existing governments. While wep eare re- stricted in some things, we have greater free- dom in, many others than are granted in any other country. . Once in a while we make. mistakes in gov- ernment, once in a while we follow for a time after a false god, but generally the American people get back to original principles in the end, and the government goes on as safely, as honestly, as efficiently and as effectively as any government in the world, and both busi- ness and property are safer than in any place in the world. We have. more cheap politics and mistakes in government, perhaps, than in most countries where established principles are sel- dom changed and age-old traditions rule-in all things, but we learn by our mistakes and much as we often ridicule ourselves, we generally profit by them. While we often elevate public men who are unworthy of our confidence, we generally keep the better ones when we finally discover their real worth, and soon rid ourselves of the unworthy, and while there is generally a good deal of froth in our official life, there is more that is sound and solid. Among us we have a number who will see nothing but the froth, and so put in much of their time criticizing the decadence of things generally, but there are few, very few, who would trade their country and its government for any other they can name. When we look about us in the world and see the eternal strife and bloodshed that marks the-political ascend- ancy of first one, then another faction in iihany older established nations; the blood that is spilled, the trampling that is done, we realize mighty quickly that what we have at home is the best that is to be had anywhere. The American people, from a small begin- ning, have done immeasurably well. From a handful of super-patriots determined no longer to submit to the tyranny of a mother country to the present great republic with peace, con- tentment and happiness throughout its broad area (if we may ovelook the various strikes underway' at present), among its 150,000,000 peoples., is a far cry, yet it is in but 171 years that it has all been done. Greater progress to real freedoni has been' made in the United States in these years than has been msle in any other part of the world in several times as many.,,Great Britain alone of all the other countries,, gives to its people anything near as great protection and freedom as are guaranteed to the people of the United States-anid even Britain has not been able to bring to her people the prosperity and the wealth that Americans enjoy. The offspring has outstripped the mother'in progress. We stand, a new nation comparatively, the greatest in the world, respected and admired, also envied by -all the world. While it is a for- -tunate position, it is also a position of respon- sibility, for we have an example to set and a caution to observe.

REQUIRES -0 GOOD TYPOGRAPHY' GOOD PRESSWORK GOOD PAPER You Get All Three in Our Plant THE STAR - - - - Salad a Day Helps Keep Ills Away The' New Broad Leaf Endive Is a Fine Summer Salad. Green, leafy vegetables, which supply your family with Vitamin A and calcium, include the leaf crops which are served uncooked in sal- ads. If you like bowl salads, you can serve one at least once a day without complaint. SMany leaves can be used for bowl salad, including all the greens which are also cooked. But our chief reliance will probably be on leaf lettuce and endive, especially the form known as escarolle or broad leaved endive. During hot weather we must de. pend on escarolle, which takes 90 days to mature. By sowing a row at the same time as the first lettuce sowing, we may have it ready in midsummer, when trouble with let. tuce usually begins, Three sowings of endive, made twenty days apart, wgl provide you wir.i daily salad leaves until freezing weather.. The best quality of both broad and curly leaved endive is ob- tained by giving the plants plenty of room in the row so they mature loose heads. The leaves grow crisp and turn cream colored at the base. Newer varieties lack the bitter tang which older forms used tc have be- fore frost had sweetened them. Il is no longer the practice to bleach the leaves by tying them up, or placing the heads between boards, as this reduces the vitamin content )f the leaves. ' Endive not only stands hot weath- er better than lettuce, but it re- mains in good condition longer in the fall, being improved in quality by frosty weather. County School Children Given Physical Exams Tho-rough physical examinations and necessary vaccination's against communicable diseases were give-n to 426 Gulf county school children during the Florida ,State Board' of ,Health's special school health pro- gram recently concluded -h'e-re and in other Florida counties. For the first time in a school health program in this, state, young -ned'ical doctors, 36 of them with two to a county, working through the organized health departments, conducted the examinations. This 'vast task of checking Flor- ida's school children, for possible defects actually started *in Febru- ary but the bulk of the work didn't begin until March in most areas. Outstanding among the -condi- tions found-that needed imanediat6 attention .were malnutrition, eye conditions, ear infections, eviden- ces of rheumatic fever leading to heart conditions:, bad 'teeth and ton- sils and' bronchitis. They were re- ferred to private physicians or other channels for care. New License Law On Liquid Gas Effective A 1947 legislative 'act requiring licensing of all plumbers who in- stall appliances operated by liqui- fied petroleum gas be-came elffec- tive July 1.

Approximate interest pay- ments yearly are $5000 on the wa- ter and sewer bonds and $4000 on the dredging bonds, adcording to Clerk Tomlinson. Mayor Soule states that under the refinancing plan the interest rate would 'be three per cent, or possibly lower, saving the city ap- proximately $2500 a year on inter- est payments alone. "Something of this sort must be done in order to keep the, city in a sound financial condition," said Mayor Soule, "since labor: costs are rising as well as the cost of ma- terias, and the only way this could be offset would be Iby additional taxes, and the commission is de- cided.ly against increasing the mill- age or levying any more special taxes except as a last resort. "I think every citizen of Port St. Joe' should endeavor to assist the' members of the commission in try- ing to operate the city's affairs as economically as possible.
