GOOD SCHOOLS UP TO FREEHOLDERS
The schools of Gulf county are in a bad way.
They are overcrowded, lack necessary equip-
ment, and the teachers are hard put to see that
their charges get an opportunity to secure the
knowledge they are entitled to.
All of these deficiencies can be corrected Zjy
the property owners (freeholders) of the
county if they will go to the polls next Tues-\'
day and vote for passage of the $400,000 school
bond issue. Naturally, we assume that they
WILL vote affirmatively on the question, since
it will mean greatly improved educational fa-
cilities for their children at no additional cost
to them. But regardless of whether they vote
for or against the bonds, they should cast their
ballots, for it will require a vote of 51 per cent
,of the county's freeholders to make it a legai
section. If the required 51 per cent do not
*voice their opinion, it will mean the expense
,of another election.
The only requisite necessary for voting in
this election is that the voter own property.
. Any person whose name is on a deed to prop-
-erty in Gulf .county, regardless of whether it
is in his or her name or held jointly by hus-
-band and wife, -may vote.
It is up to the freeholders of Gulf county as
to whether or not the rising generation gets
-the educational facilities it is entitled to.

NO FRIEND TO THE SOUTH
Thomas E. Dewey, governor of New York
and for the second time the Republican party
-presidential hopeful, has shown by his past
actions that in his heart there is no feeling of
friendship for the South. Evidently the Repub-
licans in their Philadelphia convention were
not very much concerned about the votes- of
-the South or more consideration would have
been given some other candidate who would
be more acceptable to the southern people.
Dewey, in his fight against the South's claim


SGulf County Farmers
\ Receive $4,190 Federal
\, Aid During Past Year

County Agent Culbie Laird states
that -during 1947 government pay-
ments to farmers 'oif Gulf county for
soil conservation practices, carried
out on their farms amounted to
$4,190.03. showing a considerable
advance over the t~vo previous
years. In 194'5 16 participants in the
program received $1,577.54, and in
1946 25 participants received $1,-.
580.79.
The 31 farmers participating in
Athe, 1947 program used 109,560 lbs.
of 18 and 20% superphosphate on


for freight equality, showed his colors. He was.
not willing to equalize the rates because he
knew that it would result in the South getting
its share of the manufacturing plants at the
expense of the overcrowded industrial East and
North. lBut regardless of all Mr. Dewey and
others could do, there has been some resem-
blance of fairness gained in the freight rate,',
and the South today is fast becoming indus-
trialized.
On the civil rights question, Mr. Dewey also
has shown his stand. In his state of New York
one part of the proposed federal law is now in
effect. Certainly Mr. Dewey, or his backers,
had much influence with the Republican plat-
form committee which wrote the civil rights
proposal into the national platform, and as far
as the South stands, Mr. Dewey must bear the
burden therein placed on his shoulders.
Another w.ay in which the Republican stan-
dard-bearer has shown his antagonism toward
the South was the releasing of the only south-
erner to head the party as national chairman
when he chose Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania to
the position held by Carroll Reece of Tennes-
see. Maybe this was because the Tennessee
delegation saw fit to give Mr. Reece, its fa-
vorite son, its vote in the first roll call.
Mr. Dewey is not popular in the South.. That
was shown four years ago when Rooseevlt
almost "skunked" him in every southern state,
and it was proven at the convention when Taft,
and Stassen got a majority of the votes in
every southern delegation. True southerners-
adherents to the age-old southern traditions
and beliefs-must look to the Democratic
party again for solace, regardless of whom its
candidate might be.-Holmes County Adver-

We have been and will be against until the

insurance which a bunch of socialistic poli-
ticians and uplifters are trying to shove down
the throat of an unsuspecting American pub-
lic. However, it would be accepted with glee
by that group of hypochondriacs who are con-
tinually of the belief that they are contracting
various ailments and spend half their time at
the doctor's office. They could have their il-
lusionary ailments diagnosed at the expense
of the 'rest of the taxpayers, and the doctors'
offices would be so crowded with them that
those of us who really did have something ail-
ing us would kick the bucket before we could
get in to see the medico.

Suggests Bonus For
World War II Vets

At the recent meeting in Tampa
of Florida legislative committees on
tax matters. Rep. Thomas Beasley,
of DeFuniak Springs, former house
speaker who is ambitious to be a
gubernatorial 'candidate In 1952,
stated that it was likely he Would
sponsor a state bonus for World
War II vets at the 1949 session.
He said he is seriously consider-
ing sponsoring a measure which
would give around $300 cash to each
of the state's estimated 200,000 vet-
erans. This would require $60,000,-
000 to pay off.
A similar, state bonus deal was
killed in the 1947 session. Obs.e.rvers
said that vets themselves were
largely responsible for killing it at
that time, feeling that such a move
.by the state woulla hamper a pos-
sible federal bonus.
Arguing that many states, with
Louisiana the most recent, already
:had voted veterans bonuses, Beas-
ley contended that a great percent
'age of veterans had received no
compensation yet "for their sacri-
fice while you and I were back here
during the war, making money."
The regular mid-summer caucus
( of the house members will be. held
in Tampa July 2'3 and 24.

HOW THE TESTS WERE MADE


The soil 'removal tests were made in accord-
ance with the Test Manual of the American
Washer and Ironer Manufacturers Associa-
tion, with water temperatures 6f 1600 for
the automatic machine and 1250 for non-
automatic type machines as specified by
the Manual.
For the germ removal tests the washing pro-
cedure as above was supplemented by a
pre-determined rinse procedure established
from contact with authorities in the field


of home laundering including the manu-
facturers of the machines used. The Bendix
was used in accordance with the manufac-
turer's published instructions. Staphylococ-
cus aureus bacteria (bacteria commonly
used for test purposes) were used to measure
efficiency of-germ removal.
The four washers used, three non-automatic
and a Bendix automatic Washer, were
purchased in the open market by. the
Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory.
