Engineers Ask Bids

On Lock and Spillway

of Woodruff Dam

'Lock Chamber To Be 450 By 82
Feet, and Spillway To Be
1584 Feet Long

Plans and specifications for con-
struction of the lock and fixed-crest
spillway forming part of the Jim
Wodruff Dam to be built on the
Apalachicola River near Chattahoo-
chee, were released last week to
prospective bidders by the Mobile
district office, Corps of. Engineers.
The dam, when completed, will
be composed of a fixed-crest spill-
way, navigation lock, gated spill-
way, hydroelectric power plant and
riprap-covered earth embankment,
in that order, from east to west
across the river. -
The contract for the lock and
fixed-crest spillway will be the sec-
ond construction contract on this
project. The first contrast, now
,completed, was for constructing ap-
proximately three-fourths of the
earth embankment.
The new contract will be for plac-
-ing about 129,000 cubic yards of
*concrete in the lock, together with
lock gates and operating machin-
ery, and about 124,000 cubic yards
-of -concrete in the fixed-crest spill-
way. The lock chamber will be 82
feet wide by 450 feet long, and the
,spillway will be 1584 feet long.
Jim Woodruff Dam, located about
1000 feet downstream from the con-
fluence of the Chattahoochee 'and
Flint Rivers, is the first of three.
:dams which have been authorized
by congress for providing slack-wa-
ter navigation' on the Chattahoo-
chee River from its mouth to Col-
umbus, Ga., and on the Flint River
from its mouth to Bainbridge, Ga.
'Navigation depth from the intra-
coastal waterway to' Jim Woodruff
Dam is six feet 'at present 'and will
be increased ultimately to nine feet.
In addition to improved navigation
facilities to be provided, hydroelec-
tric power generating units will be
installed at two of the dams, and
the reservoirs are expected to pro-
vide' extensive public recreational
facilities. The generating capacity
to be. installed at Jim Woodruff
Dam will total 30,000 kilowatts and
'will furnish about 206,000,000 kilo-
-watt hours of energy in an average
year.

County Commission

Signs Away AlI Funds

For Road-Bridge Work

Appeals To State Road-' Depart-
ment for Return of Half obf
20% 'Gas Tax Money

Back in September of last year
the board of'commissioners of Gulf
county signed over to the state road
department the county's 20% of
the gasoUne tax fund for a period
of two years to repay a loan from
the road department of $27,000 for
construction of roads in various
parts of the. county..
Now the members, have awak-
ened to the fact that all they have
in the road anid bridge fund kitty
is $4,174.17,- which must last them
until the end of the fiscal year,
which is September 30. Thip comes
to about'. $350 a month. Which will
just about pay salaries and leave
nothing for construction.
So. in desperation, and with a
prayer iii their hearts, the. commis-
sioners have appealed to the state
road department to allow them to
repay their loan over a period of
four years, instead of two, which
would give them about $500 a
month from the 20% over a period
of four years. '
The petition probabl-y will 'be
acted on favorably, since we do not
believe state road officials would.
be so hard-hearted-as to turn down
this pitiful plea.,

Eight-County Forestry Fence Law Is Main

Program Set In Motion Topic At Session of


Timber Production and Conserva-
tion To Be Linked With Schools

designed to .wrap up all avenues to
greater timber production and
geared to an educational program

est and park officials, and conser-
vation enthusiasts met Tuesday in

ing at which the vast and long-,
range program was outlined, and
endorsed. .
The meeting was sponsored by
the forestry committee of the Pan-
ama City Chamber of Commerce
and John Rainey, manager of the
C. of C., presided. He murged.other
county co-operation in the program,
pointing out that "when one county
prospers, all counties here prosper
and anyway, this program is too
big for one county."
Ie declared that 7000 families in
the eight-county area-Bay, Wash-
ington, Calhoun, Gulf, Holnies, Wal-
ton, Franklin and Jackson--depend
upon forest products for theii' live-
lihood and the direct income of the
section fromn forestry in 1947 was
$14,000,000. 'The figure, he.,said, in-
cluded the value of stumpage cut
for all uses and direct payrolls from
,all phases of the industry.

say':contests in senioi high schools
of the eight counties to determine
county -winners and finalists for a
district contest. Each winner-will
receive a' $25 bond and the district

Handling materials was the source of 4 fatalities and serious injury te
5,231 workers covered by the Workmen's Compensation Act during the year
1948. This large number of serious accidents and an additional 15,978
medical only cases cost Florida industry $1,022,716. The principal sources
of the major losses were due to improper lifting and handling practices which
developed a high percentage of hernias and back injuries. Dropping objects,
cuts and abrasions were also high cost factors. Employers interested in
receiving without cost, safety guides for the prevention of handling material
accidents may direct requests to Workmen's Compensation Division, Flolrida

Warren Is Set On
Eliminating Bolita
And Bookmaking
Orders Crackdown On Bookies In
Miami Area and Arrest of
Tampa Ticket Peddlers
Governor Warren said'Monday he
had directed Sheriff Hugh Cul-
breath of Tampa to "arrest every
bolita operator and peddler in Hills-
borough county." in an effort to
break up the Cuban numbers game
that han flourished in Tampa for
many years.
Despite a reluctance to intervene
in local law enforcement, he said;
"because bolita apparently has s
brought ;about a near breakdown in
law enforcement and danger of ac-
tual civil disorder in Tampa, I have
decided to move against it."
Warren said "flagrant sale of bo-
lita for many years past" seems to
be at the root of Hillsborough coun-
ty's law enforcement troubles. "Ap-
parently no determined and sus-
tained effort has ever been made to
stamp it out. Political races have


been run with bolita as the issue.
The outcome of such races has not
eliminated, nor apparently even les-
sened, bolita in Tampa."
Meanwhile, over in the Miami
area, deputy sheriffs, prodded by
Warren's edict demanding that the
bookie trade be wiped out, are keep-
ing a constant check on the cigar
stands and cabanas that once har-
bored a large network of horse-
books.
The Miami Beach bookie syndi-
cate, an influential organization
which has been' working under a
thin guise of legitimacy, has tem-
porarily halted operations of its
200-odd "branches."
A few arrests have been made of
bookies who ignored the governor's
decree, but most of the bookies in
Miami Beach have taken heed of
the terse message that was spread
throughout the vacationland over
Sthe week-end. It said: "Service will
not be supplied."
The crackdown is the most lethal
in Florida's history, and it looks as
though there will be no letup in
the sudden "heat."
Good manner is good form, even
on the highways.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WE WANT NO PART OF IT
Figures show that it would take plenty of cash
to put into effect President Truman's social se-
curity plan to provide for government care and
aid to individuals every step of the way from
the cradle to the grave. And plenty of moola on
hand would mean that a flock of politicians
would be squabbling over how, where and when
to spend it, and, most important, by whom.
Compulsory health insurance would pay the
cost of birth, and during childhood medical and
dental service would be provided. Grants to
states by the federal government would pay part
of the cost of schooling, and if a child were or-
phaned, the government would assume the fi-
nancial responsibility.
After the child grew up and went to work, the
government would guarantee him disability as-
sistance, extending up to a lifetime pension, if
lhe were injured on the job, and unemployment
payments if he were out of a job. He and his
family would obtain medical care under the
compulsory insurance system, and good subsi-
dies would be given low-income groups. When
he reached the retirement age of 65 lxe would be
entitled to a life pension. At death, his funeral
expenses would be met, at least in part, by a gov-
ernment check. Finally, his widow would be
]pensioned.
A lot of people might like that kind of a sys-
tem. That's exactly the way we raise cattle-


provide 'em with a range, shelter, medical at-
tention, feed 'em when range pickings are lean
-but who wants to be a cow? There's no incen-
tive to get out and do when you know you'll be
taken care of whether or not you have a job.
Personally, the editor of The Star wants no part
of it. We were against the program when it was
instigated in 1936, we've been against it since
that time, and. we'll be against it as long as we've
breath left in our battered carcass. We've always
worked for what we got, and derived a lot of
satisfaction from that fact. We've seen good and
bad times, but never have we had to call on
anybody for help-our pride wouldn't let us-and
we'll be dadblamed if we're going to have a
bunch of mealy-mouth politicians who are look-
ing only at the vote-getting possibilities, ram
pure unadulterated socialism down our throat.

DO YOU SMOKE IN BED?
Smoking in bed is one of the more prolific
causes of fire-particularly fire which results in
serious personal in jury and loss of life. Those
who have the habit would do well to read a list
of "Instructions To Guests Preparing To Smoke
In Bed" which has been posted in the rooms of
a New York hotel. It says:
1. Call the office and notify the manage-
ment where you wish your remains sent.
2. Notify guests in adjoining rooms of your
intention of endangering their lives, so that
they may take necessary precautions to pro-
tect themselves.
3. Go to the corridor and locate the nearest
fire escape, so that-if you are fortunate enough
to escape your room, you may reach safety.
4. Now sit down and think howv foolish it is
for you to take this risk-you may enjoy your
smoke while thinking it over.
BUSINESS MAY BE GOOD, BUT WE Do NOT
HAVE GUESTS To BURN, So PLEASE-
HELP Us To PROTECT You.
Those words cover a lethally serious problem.
And what is true of hotels is .equally true of the
home. Reniember these rules next time you feel
like smoking in bed.

The first place a screw becomes loose in the
average head is the one that controls the tongue.

At Last! Some Dope
On 'Pyramid' Clubs
And' From the Dope It Seems That
Those Who Join Are Dopes
For several weeks past we, as
well as most everyone else, has
been hearing references to "Pyra-
mid Clubs" over the radio, and won-
dering just what it was all about.
Well, the editor of The Star has
received a little information on the
matter, and is passing it along to
readers for what it's worth.
A friend of ours in California has
sent us a paper with a sort of hazy
description of how the thing works,
and from our viewpoint it seems to
be the old chain letter gag calling
for a dime worked without getting
messed up with Uncle Sam's mails.
Here's the explanation we received:
"When you join the club you pay
a $1 fee, the only money paid in.
There are 12 positions in the pyra-
mid and you take the No. 12 spot,
moving up each night until your
name is on the top and you receive
the money-$2,048 in cash 12 days
after joining.
"The second night you go with
two .guests to another party. The
third night you stay at home and
the guests you originally invited go
to a party, each with-two other in-
vited guests. The fourth night you
are the host. From then on, you
may or may not attend the parties,
but just sit back and wait for your
name to appear at the top of the
list."
The article went on to state that
these pyramid friendship clubs
are under fire in the Los Angeles
courts and the state attorney gen-
eral had been asked for an opinion
as to their legality.
From where we sit, it looks to
us that whoever joins up in one of
these clubs is a dope, and is just
shoving a few simoleons into some
slick slicker's pocket.

Difficult to Cultivate
Although rhododendrons and aza-
leas are favorite plants of many
flower-lovers, they at'e among the
most difficult to grow and respond
only if given soil and climatic con-
ditions favorable to their develop-
ment. They are comparatively easy
to grow in the southern states
where the climate is less rigorous,
but in the northern states they are
grown with difficulty, and some of
the tender Asiatic species cannot be
grown outdoors the year around. In
the North the evergreen species
often suffer from windburn in the
winter and drought in the summer.

In attendance at the meeting, in
addition to those mentioned, were

Wash Water
It has been suggested that 160-de-
gree water will wash clothes
cleaner than 140-degree water. Tests
at the Virginia Polytechnic institute
have yielded this statement: "A
temperature of 160 degrees for wash
water gives best cleaning results,
but 140 degrees is nearly as good
and is recommended because it is
more economical to maintain in the
water heating equipment. Temper-
atures above 170 degrees are not
recommended except where boiling
is done to sterilize white clothes."

Visitors From Ohio
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Culbertson of
McClure, Ohio, spent last week-end

MAJORITY OF LEGISLATORS-
WILL SUPPORT WARREN IN
FLOOD CONTROL MEASURE
MIAMI, Feb. 24 (FS'S)-A maj(o-
ity of Florida legislators will sup-
port the expected request by Gov-
ernor Warren that they appropri-
ate about $3,000,000 annually for
flood control, according to a recent
survey.
More than 80% of the legislators
indicated they will vote to appropri-
ate state matching funds for -thd
$208,000,000 South Florida control
plan prepared by army engineer,
Flood control has been described
by Warren as Florida's number ond
problem.
Two-thirds stated they will vote
to appropriate up to $3,000,000 a
year in state funds. Some qualified
their answer, saying they will vote
up to that sum, if absolutely neces-
sary, but doubt it will take that
much. Every legislator indicated fa-
vorable action on the state's con-
tribution to the flood control pro-
gram for 18 South Florida counties.
SSeveral indicated that North Flor-
ida has flood control problems, such
as the Suwannee River basin, which
was badly flooded early in 1947,
and that the program should be
made state-wide.
A majority of the legislators from
West Florida, the area most dis-
tant from the 18 counties, favored
state support for the project.
