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- tiser.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1948 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."

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.
