Freeholders To Vote On $90,000 City Bond Issue Tuesday's Balloting Will Require 51 Per Cent Participation of Property Owners Freeholders of Port St. Joe will go. to the polls next Tuesday to ac- cept or reject a proposal that the city issue bonds in the amount of $90,000 to be used for the erection of a new municipal building at the corner of Williams Avenue and Fifth Street, which bonds, will be paid for over a ,period of 19 years with revenue derived, from the 10% utility tax n.ow being levied iby the city on electric, gas and telephone services. Only property owners, will be-al- lowed, to participate in the forth- coming election, and at least 51% of those whose names appear upon the registration 'books must cast their ballots in order to make the project legal. Last year there-were 306 freeholders in the city, and it is estimated that the number has increased since that time to about 350. This would necessitate at least 175 or 180 ballots be-ing cast, with a majority of these 'being required to carry the issue. Freeholders are urged to turn out Tuesday and, vote for the bonds, since the 10% is. being levied re- gardless, and the people may as well have something to show for.these taxes they are 'paying. And, they probably will continue to pay this tax. for as far back as we can reco- member we've never heard of a .tax being rescinded once it was slapped on the poor taxpayer. Plans for the new building pro- vide for a fire station, jail and city hall, with an apartment for'a full- time. night fireman. With the pur- cha.se of another fire truck and an additional 1000 feet of hose, and having a fireman at the station 2:4 hours a day, property owners prob- ably would benefitt by a lowered In- surance rate, which is plenty high right now in this manis town. The editor of The. Star believes that the freeholders of our city will be doing themselves a great benefit (and with no additional taxes,) by putting their okeb on this bond is- sue next Tuesday. 'The polling place will be the city hall and the polls will be. open from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. 4<-- County Assessor Again Gets In Marital Swim Our affable county tax assessor, Sammy Patrick. strolled into The Star .;',fice TuesdIay with a beautiful young lady on his arm and gave us quite a jolt by announcing that she was his wife.

There's a comeback there that hasn't been made maybee for polite reasons) that would go something like this: "Were it good enough, YOU would be getting paid!" How well we, know that! Please. don't mention it. Right now we're going to jump into. this JULY CLEAIRiANCE issue with both feet. It started last week in the Shoe Departiment. Some cus- tomers were not prepared for this "Landslide of Shoe. Values" . even we were not prepared for the deluge of shoe buyers! In order that all of us may more fully prepare ourselves for this history making event this Clearance will continue for several more days!

Last week we must have given a customer a little downward look when he asked for size 28 pants. "Don't look so surprised," he said. "I'm a full grown man just packed close." Isn't that a wonderful way to feel about it? We'll look up next time! "I would like a pair of those St. Joe Sandals," said a customer. We knew immediately it was the one and only Sell Patt Arch Support Sandal that everybody's wearing- women, men, boys and girls. We're writing the company to change the name to "St. Joe Sandals," telling them that St. Joe has adopted this shoe and, would they please move their factory here: We can't get 'em fast enough! We heard that The Star sent a notice to Bill Jenkins that his sub- scription had expired. The notice came bark with the laconic scrawl: "So's, Bill." Loyalty sometimes, proves embar- rassing. A case in point is that or the wife whose husband was un- usually latP. who wired, five of his friends: "Jack not home. Is he spending the. night with you?" The unfortunate Jack arrived home shortly afterwards, and was fol- lowed by five. telegrams all saying "Yes." Yours with Bang-up Clearance Values, R. GLENN BOYLES.

Our Country Right or Wrong AN ITEM IN THE NEWS A short time ago an item appeared in 'the news which, while it didn't make banner heads, is an example of the kind of arduous progress that serves us all.- Last year, the item said, the death rate from tuberculosis dropped to a new low throughout the nation. For the first time in our history the number of fatalities from this cause was under 50,000(. That wasn't the result of chance. It was, in- stead, the result of decades of hard and often unrewarding work by doctors and other scien- tists. A long list of factors had a part in the achievement-better preventive medicine, in- finitely improved methods of treatment for the afflicted, a generally higher standard of liv- ing, and so on. Every' major advance in medicine, save for rare instances where some revolutionary drug ;s discovered, is made much in this way. And the United States, with its system of medicine, -unhampered by bureaucratic domination, has been a leader in conquering disease---a fact which has been proven in survey after, survey. By contrast, medicine has generally been back- ward in the nations where it is controlled by the state-the standards of treatment have gone down while the cost, as in the case of all governmental activity, has gone up., We in the United States are leading longer, healthier lives. Diseases which were almost sure killers not so many years ago now offer little danger. A system of voluntary prepaid -nedical care has been built up which brings the cost of treatment and hospitalization with- -in the easy reach of the majority of people. These are achievements of free medicine which must not be forgotten.

WALLACE A SADDER BUT WISER MAN Henry Wallace, third party presidential can- didate, is nearing the end of his course as a factor of consequence in the political life of America. He now realizes that when he ac- cepted unqualified support of the Communists that he tied a millstone around his political neck. This is the obvious conclusion to be drawn from a statement he made the other (lay in an off-the-record talk at Center Sandwich, N. i-., which was heard by a newspaper correspon- dent, who has since checked with and had it confirmed by a Wallace aide. In that statement, Mr. Wallace said: "I'm never going to say anything in the nature of Redbaiting. But I must say this: If the Com- munists would run a ticket of their own this year we might lose 100,000 votes, but we would gain 3,000,000. 1 know if the Commun- ists really wanted to help us they would run their own ticket this year and let us get those extra votes." This is the same Wallace that said in Mil- waukee last December 30, the day after an- nouncing his candidacy, that he "supposed" Communists would vote for him "because I'm sincerely in favor of peace."

Those braggarts are forever boasting about how good their weather is, how the sun always shihes and the tempera- ture is always moderate, and how the nights are awlays cool enough for sleeping. What piffle! We, in New England, can insist this spring that we have had the worst weather in the country. Nobody has had such punk, consist- ently punk, weather as we have "enjoyed" this spring. On top of a record snowfall last win- ter we have added the coldest, wettest and longest spring on record. Final figures are not yet in,, but unless there is a radical change for the better, which no- body would be so foolish as to expect, the spring can soon be acclaimed as New Eng- land's worst, than which there is nothing worser--and let Florida and California laugh that off.-Boston Globe.

Sow- d..r, state health officer, to secure birth certificates for them now. He pointed out that most schools .require children to present their birth certificates before being ad- mitted to school. This usually re- sults in a last-minute rush to secure. such certification from the state board of health's bureau of vital sta- tistics and a subsequent delay in receiving the certificates. Persons d'esiringsuch certificates should. send the.

Drier Refrigerating Fluid Studies with the infra-red spec- trometer to produce a drier refrig- erating fluid will end -in an electrical refrigerator that will run without attention for 10 years, du Pont chemists predict. If only 10 parts per million of water get into the freon used in many refrigerators, trouble may be caused. By use of the infra-red spectrometic meth- od the trouble can be corrected in five minutes. Home of Fir Plywood Douglas fir, from which plywood Is made and which grows only on the western slope of the Cascade* mountains, is one of the two strong- est structural woods known and the world's most valuable commercial tree. It is easily cut or fit with ordi- nary carpentry tools and can be painted or finished the same as other wood. Trees Compete for Life At the age of 20 years, the average fully stocked Douglas fir acre has 1,460 trees on it. At the age of 100 years, the number of trees is 184. Most of the lost 1,276 trees were starved out. The most vigorous trees outgrew and overtopped them, taking all the direct sunlight that Douglas fir requires. There also is competition for water in the soil. ____-(------ Another Fulton Invention Robert' Edison Fulton Jr. is the inventor of an airphibian, a cross between a station wagon and an air- plane.
