Gulf Coast Loop

Pennant Series To

Open August 29


Wewahitchka Drops Out of
League Due To Loss of
Players and Slim Purse

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Gulf Coast League
held here it was decided to end
play. next Wednesday. August 25,
instead of September 8, in order
that playoffs may get underway for
the championship cup (which, by
the way. has disappeared some-
where along the line; it was sup-
posed to have been displayed in
each city in the loop: hasn't been
in St. Joe, as far as we know).
It is proposed, in this Shaugh-
nessy playoff, to match the first
place team against the third place
finisher, while the runners-up will
meet the fourth place team. First
round series would be the best two
out of three games, with the two
winners meeting in a three-out-of-
five series for the championship.
The series will open at the park of
the highest ranking league team
(which will be Apalachicola).
Apalachicola will meet either St.
Joe or Panama City in the opener
(we haven't belin able to find out
from the league secretary how the
teams stand), and DeFuniak will
take on the team that doesn't
meet the Oystermen.
'the Wewahitchka 'Gators- have
withdrawn from the league for the
balance of the season, stating this
was due to the fact that they had
lost a number of their players and
were unable to hire players to re-
-place the local boys. The 'Gators'
forfeited games shoved DeFuniak
up only two and a half games be-
hind the top-place Oysterinen. It
did not particularly change the
standings of St. Joe and Panama
City, who are tied for third spot.
Blountstown and Tyndall will fight
it out for fifth place, while the
'Gators sank to the bottom of the
pile with their eight forfeited tilts.
First round play in the series
will be woer by September 5, with
the championship play- beginning
on Labor Day.


Local Schools Will Open

August 30 for Fall Term

Principal Brooks Ask Parents To
Bring Birth Certificates for
First Year Pupils

Prof. Marvin Brooks, new princi-
; pal of the Port St. Joe schools, an-
nounces that the. fall term will
-open on Monday, August 30.
The school will be open for regis-
tration of first graders Wednesday.
August 25, beginning at 9 a. inm.
Parents are asked to bring birth
certificates for pupils or equivalent
.evidence of date of birth.
Registration for students from
the second grade up will be held
Thursday and Friday, August 26
and 27.
"Those parents of first graders
who have not had their children
given physical .examination should
consult a physician and have it at-
tended to before school begins,"
said Prof. Rooks.
A list of faculty members will
be published next week.

Moose and Kiwanis To

Meet in Baseball Game

Fledgling Organization Challenges
Older Civic Body for Mythical
Baseball Crown

Since defeating the decrepit Ro
tary Club baseball team 11 to 10
a few weeks back. members of the
Kiwanis Club 'have been acting
rather higlf and mighty. In fact,
their conduct has been so snobbish
that it has raised the ire of the
recently organized Moose lodge.
and members of that body have is-
sued a challenge to the Kiwanians-
for-a benefit ball game to be played
next Wednesday afternoon at 4
o'clock in the local ball park. The
Moose Marvels are confident of
taking the Kiwanis Kardinals to
the cleaners. ,
Manager, Doc Morton of the
Marvels says he will have a strong
aggregation on the field and "we
expect to take the enemy without
much effort."
On the other hand, Manager
Frank Hannon of the Kardinals
says: "My outfit will run rings
around denm bums."
Umpires will be Chief of Police
Buck Griffin, Chuck Gibson and
Sol Shirey.
It is rumored that another civic
organization of the city will chal-
lenge the winner of this tilt.
A pre-game feature will be a
foot race between a prominent
member of each team. Their names
are being withheld to prevent the
gambling fraternity from "fixing"
the race and cleaning 11p.
Gate receipts will go to the
Christmas basket funds of the two
organizations,- and proceeds from
the soft drink concession will go
to the city recreation committee.

Rev. Tom To Panama City
Rev. Tom Byrne and family left
Wednesday for Panama City where
Rev. Tom will be in charge of the

gret that the people of St. Joe see

active in all civic affairs.

Election Laws of

Florida Would Be

Changed By Bill

Proposal Submitted To Legis-
lators Patterned After
New York Law

A bill to change Florida's elec-
tion laws-allowing voters to ex-
press their specific choices for
president-has been proposed by
Charles 0. Andrews Jr.. Democratic
nominee for representative from
Orange county. A copy of the bill,
which is patterned after the New
York state law, has been sent to
.all members of the 1947 legislature
for their study and approval.
Andrews has asked the legisla-
tors to notify Senate President S.
b. Clark of Monticello or House
Speaker Thomas D. Beasley of De-
Funiak Springs before SepteitBer
10 of their opinions of the pro-
posal.
Governor Caldwell has announced
lie will consider calling a special
session of the legislature to change
the election laws provided a ma-
jority of the legislators agreed on
one specific bill and would not
consider any other measure.
The proposed bill provides for
the listing of all presidential elec-
tors on a separate ballot under the
names of their respective candi-
dates. It would include electors for
the anti-Truman Dixiecrats who
have nominated Governor Strom.
Thurmond for president, and Henry
Wallace's Progressive party. It
also would provide a blank column
on the ballot for electors of any
other candidate.
Under present state laws, only
electors for the Republican and
Democratic parties will appear on
the general election ballot in No-
vember. The proposal, if enacted
into law, would name the electors,
designating each to the ticket of
his choice.
Caldwell, who has received a
copy of Andrews' bill, stated that
the question of calling a special
session was up to the legislators,
as well as the manner in which the
request was presented to him..
The governor did not say whe-
ther a special session would be le-
gally called to deal with but one
subject, but said he would require
such assurance from the legisla-
tors.
Four of Florida's Democratic
candidates for presidential elector
have announced they will not vote
for Presidnent Truman because of
his civil rights program. One has
stated he will support the plesi-
dent and three have expressed no
opinion.
I In his letter to the legislators,
Andrews said "such a situation
places the people of Florida in a
position of not having an opportun-
ity tinder our present election laws
to express their preference except
for or against the Republican nom-
inee.
"The' only remedy for the situa-
tion that could give the people this
,right would be a special session of
the legislature, which would enact
a suitable clarification laviw' said
Andrews.

Polio Facts Sent To All

State Health Officers

Pertinent facts concerning polio
and procedures to be followed dur-
ing outbreaks of the disease have
been sent to all health officers in
Florida by Dr. R. F. Sofidag of the
Florida State Board of Health. The
information was prepared by a
group of leading authorities on
polio.
Dr. Sondag said that the health
officers had been given this infor-
mation because the polio season
is underway in some areas of the
country.
Polio is known to be caused by
a filterable virus although its
mode of transmission is not defi-
nitely known.
Initial symptoms of the disease,
Dr. Sondag said, are fever, acute
headache, sore throat, nausea,
vomiting and constipation. Clinical
evidence of nervous system ijvolv-

Our Country Right or Wrong


ALL SOUTHERNERS INSULTED
All Southerners, Republicans and Democrats
.alike, were properly indignant when they
heard their neighbors booed, hissed and in-
sulted at the Democratic convention in Phila-
delphia. In all the circumstances noboby could
blame Southern Democracy for the course it
took in holding a convention of its own in
Biirmingham. That was the one way in which
they could make emphatic their disapproval of
the treatment they received from the New
Deal wing of the party.
The ascendancy of this New Deal wing is no
-new thing, however, and the wonder is that
.Southern Democrats endured so much for -so
long. If any fault is to be found with their ac-
tion, it's the belatedness thereof. True, there
were mutterings in 1944, but no aggregation
could be put together that had courage to act.
'Southerners were mollified when Truman, a
.man of supposedly Southern leanings, was
*nominated on .the ticket with Roosevelt in
1944. It is apparent now, of course, that Tru-

man was not the man Southern Democrats
thought he was.
Democrats down this way, or a major seg-
ment of them, are apparently determined that
they will be betrayed no longer-and it's about
time. It is inconceivable that those who
have formed the Jeffersonian Democratic
party at Birmingham could be enticed back
into the so-called national Democratic fold by
election time. Things have gone too far for
that.
But all must realize that there is no hope of
electing the Thurmond-Wright ticket that was
nomiinated by the "Dixiecrats." It may well
happen that by or before the election a ma-
jority of the voters, in some Southern states
at least, will see the futility of voting either
for 'I'hurmmond and Wright or Truman and
Barklev and cast their lots with Dewey and
1Warren.-Dekalb (Ala.) Times.

POSSIBILITY OF REPUBLICAN VICTORY
The GOP is brash enough to believe that
there is a possibility of a Republican victory in
North Carolina and possibly Florida. This is
based somewhat on changes in the type of pop-
ulation iii these states in recent years and by
the further knowledge that in the election of
1928, the last GOP victory year, Flor:da and
North Carolina delivered to the Republicans,
as did Virginia, M-aryland, Tennessee and such
border states as Kentucky, Texas and Okla-
homa.
It is conceded by some of the Democratic
leaders that the third party ticket in these
Southern states mlay have enough strength to
swing the vote away from the Democratic
party in states south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
This is regardless of what may come out of
the Henry Wallace movement, as he and his
philosophies are anathema to Southerners.-

Bacterial Fertilizer
Two kinds of bacterial fertilizer
have been used on a million acres
of Russian farm lands. One sort,
named "nitragin," is for legumes
and the other, "nitrobacterin," for
vegetable, industrial and grain
crops. They are sown with the seed
and add many pounds of nitrogen
per acre. The original method of
spreading the bacteria over the
fields has been abandoned.

" ~~ raol-1JI~EZC rr-';~-;r


Appearing as guest speaker be-
fore the Panama City Kiwanis club
last week, E. Clay Lewis Jr.. of this
city, taking for his. subject "The
Jury System and Suggestions for
Improving It," said, that the con-
tinued legislative yielding to pres-
sure for exemption from jury serv-
ice would eventually result in a
breakdown of administration of jus-
tice in Florida. and urged adoption
of the federal commissioner system
of filling jury boxes.
"Too many groups and classifica-
tions of citizens have already been
exempted from jury service, and
each new session of the legislature
brings new pressure and new ex-
emptions," lie declared. "If it con-
tiltnues, we'll eventually have no one
for jury duty but loafers and vag-
rants only seeking the $3 daily fee
that the state allows."
Lewis. the Democratic nominee
for judge of the 14th judicial circuit,
laiheled a summnnons for jury duty as
"a mark of good character" and ser-
vice as "g, high honor and responsi-
bility of citizenship."
He said he preferred the federal
jury commissioner system for fill-
ing jury boxes because it requires a
thorough investigation of all pros-
pective veniremen. while county
commissioners have been inclined
to take the first two or three hun-
dr-d names from the registration
i'olls for 'the purpose.

Value of Legumes
Well-fed, deep-rooted legumes
have a twofold value. They supply
a low cost and abundant source of
proteins, minerals and vitamins for
livestock. They will rebuild the or-
ganic matter supply and break up
packed soils. Legumes that have
had plenty of phosphorus and pot-
ash will push mineralized organic
matter down below plow depth, re-
storing to good tilth the top 18 to
25 inches of soil. The tap roots will
penetrate closely packed soil, aer-
ate it and enable crops following in
the rotation to send their roots deep-
er for plant food and water.

The Treasure State
Montana is known as the "Treas-
ure State." It is richly endowed with
raw materials essential to industrial
production. Coal reserves have been
estimated at more than 400 billion
tons.

tubercle bacillus.
He and millions of others through
the ages never'knew what hit them.
Today we know. But ignorance
and indifference still account for
most of the 50,000 people who are
killed by tuberculosis each year.
The germ that steel couldn't stop
certainly can't be thwarted by a
business suit or a mink coat.
Modern science and medicine,
however, can give you effective chest
protection. A chest X-ray is a sure
way to detect TB!
If you are harboring TB germs,
an X-ray can "see" their destructive
effects long before you feel sick. If
proper treatment is started in the
early stages, the cure is compar-
atively easy.
The later TB is found, the longer,
harder, and costlier will be the cure.
Remember, too, that TB is con-
- "- -- tagious. A person who has TB can
spread it to other members of his
/ family.
You can find out whether or not
you have TB by having your chest
X-rayed.
