JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1947 NUMBER 9 C hristmas Seal Campaign Starts In Gulf County Support of Drive By Everyone Is Urged By Seal Chairman H. H.

Thb sale began yesterday and will continue until Christmas. "The funds derived from the 1947 Christmas Seal sale will be put to work early in 1948," said Seal Sale Chairman Harry Saunders, "andl the earlier Gulf county residents acknowledge their seals, the more confidently we can go ahead with our plans for a healthier coanimun- ity in 1948." Five per cent of the money de- rived from sale of the seals goes to the National Taberculosis. Associa- tion, from which a large part is re- turneg to this county in the results of medical research and in advice on the best ways of meeting local tuberculosis problems. The other 95 per cent is spent in Florida. 21 per cent for state-wide services and the remainder on specific tubercu- losis control projects carried' on 'by the Gulf County Tuberculosis As- sociation. "Health education is the founda- tion stone of the program," said Chairman Saunders. "The associa- tion carries on a year-round cam- paign aimed at the needs and in- terests of specific groups. Facts rather than feaps are the weapons used to fight tuberculosis. Case- finding is an important part of the program, and the eventual aim is to have every citizen given a chest X-ray annually to protect the conm- (Continued on page 7) Western Auto Store Will Be Open Tomorrow, We Think Like the late Will Rogers, all a lot of people know is "what they read in the papers," and so we have a bone to pick with Mr. C. W. Long, who. when he found we didn't have space for an opening ad for his new Western Auto store, asked us if we could give him a front page -blubl) on his opening last Saturday. We gladly gave him the story and hundreds of people took our word lor it and went around to look over his dump-only to find, the doors closed and the windows soaped. So we're the goat. We don't mind be- ing called a jackass, but the ap- pellation of "goat" riles us. So today, after Mr. Long swears to it on a stack of Bibles six feet tall, we are proud to announce that the Western Auto Associate Store. C. W. Long, owner, will open to- morrow for business.

Bonifay Takes Sharks 12 To 6 On Wet Field .Playing on a field ankle-deep in water most of the time, the St. Joe Sharks last Friday fell before the Bonifay Blue Devils 12 to 6 at Boni- fay in what was considered to be one of the most important of two games in the Northwest Florida Conference scheduled for that day.

Our Country -- Right or Wrong CAUGHT IN THE VISE In a recent editorial, which was based upon the congressional hearings on high prices, the Atlanta Constitution observed that the re- tailer is not the villain of the piece. Then it said: "The truth of the matter is that the busi- nessman is as much caught in the vise of in- flation as is the customer. "The grocer, the furniture man, the depart- ment store manager, have no control over the prices they pay the processor or manufacturer. It is one of those vicious cycles in, which the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker all get caught up and whirled around. "Production-replacement of shortages with plenty-seems the only answer now the di- lemma has reached present proportions . The retailer simply hasn't got the answer." NURSERY TERRORS The story of Little Red Riding Hood. con- siders the Nursery Schools Association of Britain, is cruel, deceptive and likely to create( fear complexes among children. It was recoim- mended for national taboo. Not long ago a Middlesesx council banned Punch and' Judy shows because they teach children to be wife beaters. Those child psychologists have the bit m their teeth. They have pelted off in a reform runaway. Next Miss Muffet will have to be exorcised: she also typifies fear. The Three Bears should be barred they breed disrespect for private property. To the bonfire with Alice In Wonderland; she breathes frustration by the page. Ali Baba preaches how to profit on stolen goods; the Magic Carpet provokes the young fry to stray from their cradles.

Vhen iMrs. Petrillo dubbed her balmbino Caesar, she probably had no idea that lie would ever grow up to take it so seriously. liut little Caesar grew up to be Public Dis- crdl N-o. 1 and Chief of all Galls.

Other people he *would not allow to manufacture phonograph record l. He--single-hlanded boss of America's ilmulic-outlawed the playing of recordings over the radio. And that meant that until the Little man whose musical scales are written with ;iscenlding- dollar signs relented, \e Am- lricansl could no lnge1 r ease oU.rselves out of slumber in the mornings to the soothing screech of hot trumpets or lull ourselves to sleep at night to the melodious lilt of frantic, wirhiohw-rattlinig snare drums. Now Der Furor of American musicians has tuned up his irate off-key lip again and is patently out to sabotage the conductor-Uncle Sam. that is--for putting the Taft- lartlev law on the program. After December 31 Caesar has decreed that no more recordings shall be made in the land. Slow much longer shall we lbe allowed to whistle at our work? Does Petrillo foresee tile Lime when he can have us hunted dom-n for surreptitiously humming--without the paid aid of one of Ilis union menibers-a tune which we cannot get out of our heads ? We doubt that the musicians whom he rules with an iron baton like their dictator.

RIGHT TO BE LET ALONE Somerset Maugham,, the novelist, recently said this: "If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the ironily of it is that if it is comfort or llmoney that it values more, it will lose that, too." There, in a brilliant sentence, is the tragic significance of thie world-wide movement to- ward "security" at any pSrice. Nation after na- tion has surrendered its liberties for promises of bread and shelter. And. once the liberties were gone and the tyrants were secure in of- fice, the people found that they had less bread and shelter than before.

HUNTING EXPEDITION ENDS UP IN THE DRINK We don't know whether there is a moral to this tale or not, but it isn't what w- consider the proper way to bring home the bacon. Seems that Carl Armstrong and George Cooper would a-hunting go on the. opening day of the season, and so at the break o' dawn they were at White City with all their hunting paraphernalia. Carl put the motor on the boat and put-putted out into the canal to ,warm it up. Cutting various gy- rations he turned real sharp to come ;back to. the landing to picii up George, and turned the boat over. He had on a pair of knee- length boots that threatened to pull him under as he paddled furiously the 75 feet to the bank. And all the while George stood on the bank and laughed at him. ,Said Carl, as he clambered out on the bank and wrung the water oult of his shirt-tail: "George, I be- lieve you would have stood there and 'let me drown." To which George replied: "About all I could have done would have been to shoot you to put you out of your misery; and if you had of drowned, I'd have high-tailed it back to town and reported your de- mise. So, .you see, you really had nothing to worry about.' .--. 'Alk- Week-end Visitors Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
