We'd Like To Get- A Letter Like This Since we came to Port St. Joe in 1937 the city tax rate has climbed from 5.5 mills to 19.7, and probably will keep going up, and so it's nice to know that there are some cities where the tax rate is dropping- and in this -particular instance is nil.

Right or Wrong CONFOUNDING PROFITS OF SCARCITY Soon after the white man first set foot on the North American continent, expert calcu- lators got busy estimating how long this or that natural resource would last. The gloom- iest predictions have been made concerning timber, in which Port St. Joe is particularly interested, since our forests keep both the paper mill and Kenney's saw mill operating. More than a hundred years ago a French bot- anist, after a swing around a portion of tIle country, reported that "There is an alarming destruction of trees for building. The com- plaints of the scarcity of timber are every year becoming more serious in America " Warnings have been issued with clocklike reg- ularity ever since. In regard to our present timber resources, a spokesman for the timber industry makes the observation that, "When we consider overall growth in every size of product from Christmas trees up, plus losses from fire, dis- ease and insects, we find that currently the national drain is being replaced by growth. This has been accomplished in spite of the fact that we still do not protect 30 per cent of our forest land from the hazard of fire. " It is an historical fact that. most of the es- timates of the natural resources of the United States have been woefully inaccurate. They have indicated an inability to grasp the vast- ness of the nation and its recuperative powers. THE DISEASE OF GOVERNMENT The worst problem confronting the world today is what might be called "the disease of government." The whole history of civilization since the dawn of time has been the story of man's struggle against oppression. Every school child is required to study the great milestones in that struggle the signing of the Magna Carta, the writing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and the rest. All the revolutions ever fought have marked the attempts of peo- ples to free themselves from the chains of em- perors, dictators alind corrupt and cruel gov- ernments. Now allmost all of iurope and much ol the rest of the world have turned back the clock. lhey have, willingly or otherwise, succumbed once more to super-government. They have apparently placed the goal of a dubious physi- cal security ahead of that of freedom. They have accepted the disciplinary weapons of dic- tatorship-the whipping post, the concentra- tion camp, tlie whipping 1 block, slave labor. Even ,1ngland, though she still clings to the basic civil liberties, has gone a long way down the road that can end only in spiritual dark- ness and the submersion of the individual spirit. In the United States we have gone farther along the same road than most of us realize. WVe have created an enormous, ever-growing bureaucracy which saps our energies and our wealth. Worst of all, we have largely lost the definite distinctions established by the Con- stitution between the three branches of gov- ernment executive, judicial, and legislative The result of this is more and more "adminis- trative government," which is simply sup- planting a government of law by a govern- ment of rnmen. Nations, like individuals, can learn by ex- ample. Europe is showing us what happens when we turn to government to give us "se- curity"---and, of necessity, make government the dominant factor in our lives. This is the way that tyrants come to power, and the pro- cess has not changed in two thousand years of recorded history. If we permit it, it can hap- pen here as well.

That's a lot of money to be wasted because of a mosquito, and the four million c:.ise- every year cause suffering altn pain that (.can't be measured in niettpy. \alaria is not a new disease; tlhe ancient Greeks and Romans sut- fee(-d rom it. It gets its name fromil an Italian word meaning bad air. 1 .iau e people once thought it was caused by the damp night air from swaamns and marshes. Actually the c.use is the Anopheles mosquito, which bites at nightfall. The disease is caused by a micro- scopic organism introduced into thel blood by the female Anopheles mo- squito. Malaria germs develop in the stomach of the mosquito and make their way into its salivary glands. When the mosquito ,bites a person. the germs are transferred to the human blood stream, wilere they grow and develop spores which break down the corpusc.Iles. Chills and fever follow, and the victims has malaria. Other symptoms of this so.uth- land scourge are an urge to stretch and yawn. The victim feels tired, lasy, uncomfortable"; he may ache all over, feel nauseated and de- velop a headache. Later he be- comes cold, followed by a chill and then the high fever, sweating and weakness. Any one of these symptoms does not necessarily mean malaria, for some of them are also symptoms of other diseases. A physician should be called immediately; a blood test will establish or disprove the presence of malaria, and if it is another disease, the proper correc- tive measures can be taken. Game Commission Urges Co-operation On Quail 0. E. Frye, chief wildlife biolo- gist. or the game and fresh water 'ish commission, urges "better hun- ter co-operation'" in the quail-band- ing prograni of the commission. "This year." he said, "more than 45.000 Mlexican and native quail were banded by the commission anid released throughout the state and. to date. virtually no bands have )een returned." Last year less than 200 bands from a total of 40,000 banded quail were returned to the commlnissioin. indicating disinterest or lack of co- operation from quail hunters. "The prompt return to the com- mission in Tallahasisee of bands from all bird's killed is essential to our quail conservation studies," Frye emphasized. Advertising doesn't cost, it PAYS!

And the attitude of Americans toward food can make or break our efforts to achieve peace and security . our foreign poli- < cy has entered S the American home and taken a seat at the family table." That's the fighting general talking. Here are the facts he's deeply concerned about. Western Europe's grain crop is pitifully short of the scarcely ample goal the farmers hoped to reach. Weather beat them. Our own 1947 wheat crop hit a record high. IF you and I take a few neces- sary steps, Uncle Sam can make up Europe's shortage and avert famine with its ugly conse- quences certain to involve us. How about it? Can we get our families to save on bread-one slice of bread each per day? Can we make an honest effort to substitute other food for meat on Tuesday to eat no eggs on Thursday? Just for a few months? We can and must to prevent a world crisis. Let's all save wheat save meat save the peace. State Licenses On Aircraft In Effect On January First Some 2500 Florida aircraft, of which about nine are in Port St. Joe, will become subject to licens- ing as motor vehicles on January 1. The 1947 legislature placed air- plane.s in the same category as au- tomobiles-an action which 'means aircraft owners no longer will have to pay personal property taxes on their ships. The state constitution exempts motor, vehicles from any levy except a license fee. Attorney General Tom Watson is yelling that planes aren't motor vehicles, and wants to continue taxing them, but no court test on the matter has yet been made. A small plane weighing less than 2000 pounds will 'be licensed for $5 annually i,f used for private- pur- poses. Commercial planes, such as those used by airlines or flying schools, will cost $1 per hundred pounds, with a maximum license fee of 4$100 a year. Plane owner-s will be issued li- cense cards to 'be carried in the ships, and the federal registration numbers on the wings will serve as state numbers. Revenue from licenses will be di- vided equally between th.e state im- provenment commi-ssion's aeronau- tics fund and the counties in which the planes are based. It pays to advertise try it!
