events entered. New records -for the
boys were set in the 100-yard dash,
440-yard run, 880-yard relay, broad

To Hospital Patients

Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri-
can Legion, is sponsoring a blood
donor's organization, virtually a
-'walking blood bank," for the pur-
pose of supplying blood free of

gion post have already signed up,
and anyone else desiring to partici-
pate in this worthy cause is asked

Garden Club Exhibit

Draws Many Entries

Hailed As Most Oustanding Display
Ever Witnessed In This Section

The first annual spring flower
show of the Port St. Joe Garden
Club, held Saturday and Sunday,
drew a large number of entries and
was hailed as one of the most out-
standing displays of spring flowers
ever witnessed in this section.. The
registration book showed that over
500 visited the exhibit.
Theme of the show was "Flowers
Informal," with the focal point be-
ing a garden scene with a lily pond
surrounded with rocks, .moss and
placements of blooming plants. I
A Cape Cod fence with a pergola
was arranged across the back of
the room and one side, which was
flanked by niches filled with vari-
ous arrangements, all of which were
backed by palmettoes and moss.
The opposite side of the room
was used to display a formal table,
tea table, breakfast table and a
porch table arrangements, with the
specimen table at the end.
A beautiful display of Easter
lilies in the center of the room, by
Mrs. A. S. Chason. consisted of 12
stalks with more than 100 blooms.
An interesting point of the show
was that, with the exception of the
exhibit by a local florist and the
wild flower arrangements, all flow-
ers in the show were grown in Port
St. Joe by the exhibitors.
Those taking blue ribbons were
Blair Shuford, Bobbie; Waid, Mrs.
J. R. Smith, .Mrs. G. W. Cooper.
Mrs. I. C. Nedley, Mrs. S:.B. Strong,
Mrs. Massey Ward,' Mrs. Henry

Capital Insiders Say

Legislature Working

Towards Sates Tax

Gov. Warren Continues To
Assert He Will Veto
Such a Measure
'
A growing tide of_.support for
definite financing of the common
schools and state universities was
evident at Tallahassee as both
houses of the legislature turned
thumbs down on Governor Fuller
Warren's fifteen-point, tax program.
Both senate and house finance and
taxation committees indicated they
will not approve all the governor's
program, designed to raise $50,000,-
000 more per year to meet a threat-
ened deficit.
A doubling of the intangibles tax
is the only one meeting legislative
approval. Taxes on hotel rooms,
phosphate, fuel oil and similar
levies are being given the formality
of hearings, but both major com-
mittees have shown they will not
approve them.
The mounting uneasiness from
the rest of the state is being met
at the capital by a sustained drive
to get enough votes to pass a gen-
eral sales tax, or at least that's the
way it looks from the inside. Gov-
ernor Warren, in a sternly worded
statement, told both houses that
he will veto a general sales tax, and
will consider a two percent tax on
gross receipts frni m reeoil -ales as
the same thing a.--a sales tax .1. ,
Meanwhile, the senatelhas passed
a livestock fencing bill to put the
cattle off the/ highways by July 1,
1950. This carries out most of the
:Warren plan, although he preferred
the effective date to be October 1,
1949. A house committee has finally
approved the same bill the senate
has passed, and it will come up for
-special order this week.
A bulky citrus bill rewriting the
citrus laws is being given consider-
ation in both houses. It brings can-

Elliott Is Named As
Speaker of '51 House

At the house caucus held Wed-
.nesday night in Tallahassee, B. El-
liott of Palm Beach was named as
speaker of the 1951 house of repre-
sentatives. Others seeking the po-
sition were Representatives George
Tapper of this city and C. Farris
Bryant of Marion county.
Rep. Thomas D. Beasley of Wal-
ton county, presiding officer for the
1947 session, had had his name in
the pot.but withdrew, saying he had
entered the race at the urging of
fellow legislators but that he had
decided that the honor of being
speaker should be passed on to
someone who has not yet held the
post.

Rotes Take Kiwanis

11-9 To Even Series

Benefit Ball Game Wednesday Is
Uproarious Affair

Smarting under a 11-10 defeat
handed them last year by the Ki-
wanis Club, the local Rotary Club
took the Kiwanians down the line
11-9 Wednesday afternoon at the
old ball park in their annual bene-
fit baseball get-together.
Outstanding players for the Ki-
wanis Indians were Hig "Satchel
Paige" Stone, dolled up in black-
face, who held the mound for the
better part of two innings before
being replaced by Lee Graham;
Capt. Robert Tapper, who received
Stone's freballs the first canto;
Mayor Joe Sharit, who held down
first base in magnificent style, and
Preacher Loyd Tubb, who covered
the hot corner at third like a vet-
eran, ably backed up in left -field
by Doc Strong.
Starring for the Rotarians were
B. B. Conklin on the mound, Cecil
Costin at short, Nobie Stone at a
number of positions and Jimmy
Greer in right field.
The Rotarians took an eight-run
lead in the second when they fi-
nally figured out Hig Stone's va-
riety of curves, chalked up one in
the third and two more in the sixth.
The Kiwanians made their first
counter in the fourth, two more in
the< fifth, and really had the Rotes
scared in the first of the seventh
when they shoved across six runs
and had the bases loaded with but
two outs. The tension-was relieved
when 'Cox. was caught t tome .af-
ter a long fly to left field by Frank
Hannon.

St. Joe Girl Winner of

District Spelling Bee

Leaves Today for Jacksonville To
Compete In Sectional Finals

Shirley Stripling, 13, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Stripling of
this city, emerged victorious last
Friday in the district elimination
spelling contest held in Panama
City, and today will leave for Jack-
sonville to compete in the North
Florida finals.
Two years ago Shirley was the
Gulf county winner in the annual
contest, but was defeated in the dis-
trict contest by Eunice Harris of
Apalachiloa. Last year she was run-,
ner-up for Gulf county, losing out
to Doris Rich of this city.
This year .was Shirley's last op-
portunity, since she is in the eighth
grade, and she made the most of
it, outspelling the best grammar
school spellers of four counties-
Russ Parrish, 12, of Washington
county; Charles Gay, 12, of Bay,
and Myrna Henderson of Franklin.
Shirley has been completely out-
fitted with a new wardrobe by civic
and church organizations of the
city, the Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion and teachers of the city school,
and received a permanent wave
from Gene's Beauty Shop. She will
enjoy two days of fun and enter-
tainment at Jacksonville Beach and
tomorrow evening will be a guest
at a banquet in honor of all con-
testants and their chaperones.
Everyone in Gulf county is pull-
ing for Shirley and awaiting eagerly
the outcome of the contest tomor-
row.

is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts;
the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word
is lost; the printed word remains.

WE ALREADY HAVE IT
Chambers of commerce of Northwest Florida
counties are endeavoring to take a poll of resi-
dents of the area to find if they favor or oppose
putting the whole state on eastern standard time.
All counties west of the Apalachicola River
are-on central standard time with the exception
of the south half of Gulf county, -which has been
on EST for many years. Personally, the editor
finds it very convenient to operate on EST, but
it is a bit confusing when we go to Panama City
or Wewahitchka, both.of which use CST, to dis-
cover we have arrived at our destination before
we left Port St. Joe.
There are a lot of good reasons why the entire
state should have one time and not be divided as
it is. Any of our readers who have views on this
subject are invited to drop a line to the editor.

", "- FILIBUSTERS
Filibustering once applied to the activities of
pirates who intervened in the affairs of Latin-
American colonies with the purpose of freeing
them from Sapnish domination, frequently with
the motive of annexing the territory to the United
States. The independence and annexation of
Texas were achieved, in part, by f ililist'i rs.

A filibusterer is now a United
-who out-talks the opposition in
-pass measures obnoxious to the l

States senator
its attempt to
loquacious mi-

nority. He is either patriot of pirate, according
to which faction he belongs and whose ox is
being gored.
If shooting is to be done by senatorial pirates,
oratory is the most democratic and least offen-
sive of dangerous weapons. It exhausts the user
and never quite asphyxiates the victims. It in-
terrupts the dignity and dull monotony of the
senate with an occasional ham act, permits sen-
ators to let off pentup steam and supplies com-
mentators and agitators with ammunition to do
their own gunning. It provides an obstacle course
for senators to expand their lungs, test their feet,
and keep conditioned for primary races and po-
litical olympics. No one is fully qualified to be
a senator who has bunions, athlete's foot, asthma
or halitosis.
If you don't like filibusters, think what it will
be like when women shall have taken over the
senate.-Exchange.

A NEW TAX WRINKLE
Robert A. Taft turned new light on the pro-
posal for compulsory federal health insurance.
He said it is a tax and not insurance, and that
"the very term 'compulsory insurance' is a con-
tradiction, for insurance is a free act by which a
man pays certain definite sums in order to re-
ceive protection or benefits worth, according to
actuarial computations, approximately what he
pays. If he is compelled to pay something to the
government, that is a tax, and he has to accept in
return exactly what the government gives him,
or fails to give him.
"Furthermore, the proposed payroll deduction
is a tax because the benefit promised has no re-
lation, or a very remote relation, to the amount
of the payments made. Thus, a man with a sal-
ary of $1000 and a family of five will pay per-
haps $40 a year for services to his entire family,
and a man with $3000 a year, but unmarried,
pays perhaps $120 for services to himself only.
This is a principle of taxation and not of insur-
ance."
A compulsory government health tax Jeaves
the individual no choice. He is compelled by law
to accept government medicine because he can-
not afford to also stibscribe to existing systems
for voluntary prepayment for medical care.

Shivers Tells Why He
Opposed Fence Measure

In a statement made at Chipley
last Saturday, State Senator Olin
Shivers said that he cast a negative
vote against the senate bill to fence
livestock because he felt the "farm-
ers and cattlemen in my district
needed more time to comply with
the law."
"I am well aware that the ma-
jority of the people in Gulf, Bay,
Calhoun and Washington counties
favor a stock fence law," he went
on, "but I thought that our'farmers
and cattlemen should have addi-
tional time to get their livestock
under fence or dispose of it."
Shivers said he would also fight
the proposed fuel oil tax, the pro-
posed tax on timber products and
timberland, and stated that he had
introduced a bill that would rule
out an assessment increase on land
planted to timber until the trees
mature.
