Three-day County-

Wide X-Ray Survey

Opens Next Friday


Search Will Be Made for Unlknown
Cases of Herat Disease, Can-
cer and Tuberculosis

A county-wide search 'for un-
known cases of cancer, heart dis-
ease and, tuberculosis will begin
next Friday, August 20, and con-
tinue through Monday when the
moibile X-ray unit supplied by the
state board of health swings into
action in Gulf county under the
joint, sponsorship of the county
health department and the Gulf
County Tuberculosis Association. A
complete schedule will be found on
page three of this issue of'TheStar.
Dr. Terry Bird, county health of-
ficer, says: '"In spite of the small
number of cases of suspected tu-
berculosis discovered in the survey
,last year, Gulf county had one resi-
dent to die of tuberculosis last year
-a death rate of 11 for every 100,-
000 people. It .is estimated that
there are 105 active cases of tu-
berculosis in the county today."
X-ray., which, locates these dis-
eases in the early, symptomless
stages, not only gives the persons
who are aifflicated a much betterr
chance of recovery, but in the case
of tulberculos'is it provides informa-
tion whereby those around him may
.protect themselves.
By means of the X-ray it is pos-
sible .for a physician to see the in-
* side of a chest aild determine if the
heart is enlarged, or if tfere is a
tumor present, or it there is any
tuberculosis infection. -
Mrs. Watson Smith, president of
the local tuberculosis association,
urges everyone to take advantage
of the free X-ray services next
week. She added: "It is only- by
finding the hidden cases in time to
effect a cure, and by preventing the
unwitting spread of tuberculosis,
that we will ever be able to eradi-
cate the disease."

EDITOR GETS 'RIBBING'
ON EDITORIAL BOBBLE

We can now state without hesi-
tancy that the present governor of
Florida is Millard Caldiwell.
In last week's Star we stated edi-
torially that Fuller Warren would
occupy the seat now kept warm
'by Governor Holland. And
,since last Friday we've lost count
of the number of chortling readers
who have asked us: "What's hap-
,pened to Millard Caldwell? We
thought he was governor," Or
words to that eaect.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word

POLITICAL BATTLES TO BE BITTER
The political battles v.will be bitter this year,
with no quarter given. A Republican party
which has been on the outside for 16 years is
as unified as it has ever been in its history. Mr.
Truman, despite the obvious aura of pessimism
that pervades the Democratic party, seems
honestly convinced that he can win, and is
obviously determined to seize upon every op-
portunity that might put the opposition in an
uinftvoraMhle light.
Henry Wallace's Progressive party looks as
though it might corral quite a number of votes.
While the Reublica'n and Democratic platforms
went out on a long limb in an attempt to offer
.as much as possible to everyone, the Progres-
sives put them in the shade. Their platform as-
sures world peace, promises socialization of
basic industry even as it endorses "progres-
sive" capitalism, pledges the immediate elimi-
nation of any and all injustices to minority
groups, and so forth. It was the longest and
-wordiest of the three platforms and far the
-most inclusive, but exceeding vague as to how
its objectives are to be reached.
It is possible that the Progressive party,
-which is unquestionably backed to the hilt by
. American communists and their fellow travel-
ers and will pull in nitwits and malcontents,
Swill receive between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000
votes this fall.
Mr. Wallace, who will make a highly vocal


campaign and will get a great deal of news- E
paper space both here and abroad, may do con- J
siderable harm to American prestige by his
policy of appeasing Russia. He has a simple
answer to the Berlin crisis-he would simply a;
do what Joe Stalin wants and withdraw from $(
the city. lie says nothing about what this I'o
might do to the morale of the small nations d
which have aligned themselves with the west.
w
Equally important is the fact that the'party's 12
platform (lid not say a single word in opposi- G
tion to Soviet aggression. Even a very mildly vp
worded plank, which would have put a little of
the blarne for current world trouble on Russia,
was defeated. If the Progressives are to be be- p
lived, we are wild imperialists, while the Rus- 6E
sians, it seems, are reasonable men whose only t
wish is a just peace. g
T'ihis attitude, naturally, is being given a ter- c
rific play in the Russian press. The Kremlin's a
objective is to make Europe believe that nei- F
other the Republicans nor the Democrats rep- p
resent true American feeling when it comes to
foreign affairs, and that Mr. Wallaqe's stand
has overwhelming public, backing. It remains
to be seen how much capital the Russian lead- ts
ers can make of that, and how much damage, e:
if any, the Progressive party will do to Ameri- yE
can standing. But it is a topic of very real im-
portance todiy, even in the little backwoods
towns like Port St. Joe.
On the major party side. nothing new has
been added. Mr. Truman's speech to the special
session of congress followed his past state-
inents. It has long been obvious that price con- i
trol and his civil riights program will be his
biggest domestic issues, and the speech laid:
heaviest emphasis on those. The Republicans,
as was to be expected, threw the blame for
inflation back into the White House lap. The
whole matter will be hammered around in an 'j
infinity of detail when the candidates and their *
seconds take to the country with their ap- 4
peals for votes.

Speaker Urges

Members To Live

Ideals of Rotary

If Followed "Peace Would At Last
Come To This Earth," Says
District Governor

1Emphasizing the individual re-
sponsibilities on Rotarians: to live
the "ideals" of Rotary International,
Francis R. Bridges Jr., of Tallahas-
see, Rotary district governor, Thurs-
day night of last 'week told local
service club members that in his
opinion if the "ideals" were fol-
lowed "peace would at last come to
this earth and life would ibe abun-
dant to all."
Bridges was making his official
visit to the Port St. Joe club and
during the extended, session in the
Hotel St. Joe he and members of
'the club discussed at length the
many phases ofy the Rotary pro-
gram. President Jake Belft of the
iocal club was in charge of the
meeting.
During the discussion of "voca-
tional service" ,by Rotarians, Bridges
quoted the Rotary code of ethics
and tied into that the Rotary "Four
Way Test," that is: "Is it the truth?
Is. it fair to all 'concerned? Will it
build goodwill and better friend-
ships? Will it be 'beneficial to all
concerned?"
Urging "youth service," Bridges


referred briefly to the work of the SERVICE OFFICER WILL BE IN


Florida parole commission, of which
he is chairman, and insisted Ro-
tarians. should take the lead in' of-
fering "understanding guidance" to
youngsters: He expressed the view
that this country "can rightfully
boast of the world's most stalwart
youth, 'boys and girls, who, if given
a chance 'in the right way, will
make good citizens'." He suggested
close co-operation by Rotarians
with the work of the Florida chil-
dren's commission and the Gulf
county children's, committee, say-
ing the organizations were "poten-
tially fine groups if they work un-
tiringly and have the whole-hearted
prayerful backing of Rotarians and
other good citizens."
In closing, Bridges' insisted that
members' of the local club "be work-
ing Rotarians, Rotarians who by
virtue of being members of Rotary
are better men and better citizens
in Port St. Joe, in Gulf county, in
Florida and in the United States of
A-merica."
