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.

Malaria Costs South Over
Half Billion Dollars Yearly

Malaria costs the South over half
a billion dollars a year. 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.

To the People
of this Community
Our Secretary of Sta.te Warns:
"During this critical period
food is a vital factor in our
foreign policy. 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!
