Sponsored by the state depart- ment of education and the general extension division of the institu- tions of higher learning, the county workshops assist teachers and ad- ministrators in solving problems of *improving education at the local level. Nearly half of Florida's couin- ties are reached each summer thru these and similar workshops. Consultants from the universities aid in the development of guidance programs, the improvement of teaching and learning in the class- room, plan better use of local re- sources, plan with the teachers in interpreting schools to the parents, and many other phases of the school program. Each workshop is pre-serviced by three visits from the\ director chosen by the university.

WARREN TO MARRY CALIFORNIA SOCIALITE Governor Fuller Warren must be a glutton for punishment! After his hectic struggle with the legislature just over, he will take a wife on June 26.

The bride-to-be is Miss Barbara Manning, 24-year-old Los Angeles socialite, .who will be the youngest first lady in Florida history. Gov- ernor Warren is 43 years of age. Lucky Fishermen M. H.

These two boys were chosen from the local school by Prof. Mar- vin Rooks and the teachers. The local Moose Lodge is co-operating with the American Legion post by sponsoring one of the boys. This annual event is an effort on the part of the American Legion to bring to the boys of Florida a knowledge of the fundamental prin- ciples of our American government through actual practices in the du- ties of city, county and state of- fices, for as future voters and of- fice-holders, the youth of the state should have an understanding of the problems of public officials, their duties and their- functions. Three hundred boys, from every section of. Florida, will. form thee 1949 Boys State. Upon arrival in Tallahassee they will be grouped into cities and counties, which will form a "49th state," and for seven days the citizens of this new state wil th a q. lvP. i n i th< formq Thomas E.

Legislature Passes Appropriation Bill But Nixes Income Special Session Necessary to Enact Revenue Raising Measures The regular session of the Flor- ida legislature adjourned on time, leaving an appropriation bill more than $20,000,000 greater than stated income for the next two years. The legislators left with the realization that they will be called back into extraordinary session late this sun- mer or fall to enact enough revenue measures to meet the appropria- tions they voted. In the closing hours, the veto of Governor Warren on the rent de- control bill was sustained. Warren, in a strongly worded message, said that the "present method of decon- trol by cities and public hearings was adequate. A strong drive to enact a sales tax bill in the closing days of the session failed and other revenue measures in substantial amounts were sidetracked, either in the sen- ate or in the house. Approved were expenditures of $100,000,000 in the next two years for common schools and almost $150,000,000 for all other expenses of the state. In sight was not more than $180,000,000 to meet this con- tingency. Ten per cent of the ap- propriation bill can be set" aside ag a reserve if there is no money available, but that still, leaves the state facing a certain, shortage in the near future. Little of the governor's legisla- tive program was enacted into law, (Continued on page 9) W. C. Forehand Loses Another House By Fire Fire struck again Tuesday at the property of W. C. Forehand in Highland View when a four-room dwelling with its contents, was completely destroyed. The dwell- ing was occupied by Bud Walker and his family. According to members of the St. Joe fire department, who were called to the scene, it was believed tire fire originated from a cigaret dropped in some motion picture film. Due to the co-operation of resi- dents of Highland View, who made up a bucket brigade to furnish wa- ter to put in the tank of the fire truck, the adjoining dwelling and a church were saved from destruc- tion.

Our Country ` Right or Wrong HARASSED DOCTORS The Christian Science Monitor recently pub- lished a dispatch from London dealing with de- velopments under Britain's experiment with the- state health service. It says: "The doctors, gen- erally speaking, are overworked and harassed. Many doctors in more populous areas have 4000 patients each. A harassed form-filling doctor snapped: 'The best medical invention of the last century has been the ball-point pen.'- A New York Times dispatch from London, of about the same date, dwelt with demands for going still farther with socializing the practice of medicine in England. One group, it said, has called upon the minister of health "to introduce the principle of full-time salaried service for all doctors working in the national health program, instead of the present system of fees." It also - endorsed recommendations for the abolition of the drug industry. Here are two excellent examples of how these socialistic schemes work. First, there is always a decline in the standards of medical care-a doc- tor with 4000 patients can hardly do full justice to each one. Second, the socialists always want to go whole hog and make everyone involved a civil servant, completely subject to political or- ders and policies. Those who are urging compulsory government health insurance in this country say these dan- gers will be avoided here. No one who has any knowledge of history can believe that to be true. Bureaucracies, by their very nature, reach out for more and more power. And individual ambi- tion and incentive are lost in the process. EXTRA BURDEN ON TAXPAYERS Due to the fact that our legislators wasted the greater part of their time squabbling over : such trivial matters as to what the state tree- should be, the royal palm or the pine, what to do about eradication of termites and such incon- sequential subjects, not to mention personal squabbles' and name-calling, the taxpayers of Florida will be further burdened with an ex- pense of seven or eight hundred thousand dol- lars for an extra legislative session in order that mearin may be found to meet operating expenses of the state for the next two years.

Annual Flowers Best for Low Foundation Planting For a one-story house set two steps above the ground level, a planting of f'swers along the foun- datiodline is "an ideal solution !of" the front yard planting problem. Where shrubs or evergreens would soon grow so tall as td screen the windows, and make the house appear lower than it is, flowers will remain at a desirable height, and present a band of attractive color at the base of the house. The simply designed small homes now being built need an attractive frame, such as the flowers would provide. Its effect will be height- ened if the colors of the flowers harmonize with the colors of the house and its trim. The planting suggested in the il- lustration uses white and blue flow- ers. This combination will harmon- ize' with any other colors. It will be especially attractive with a buff or light yellow house, but will also be excellent with red brick, and gray. White petunias are in some ways the most desirable of their race, and may be depended upon to produce their flowers abundantly .throughout the summer.- .,. Sweet alyssum is equally fret' blooming, as. well as fragrant. It it shows signs of age in midsum- mer, it can be sheared like a hedge, and will soon be blooming again at a youthful rate. Myosotis is the true forget-me-not, growing -just enough taller than the alyssum to register" as a band of blue. A fashion for dooryard gardens to take the place of trees and shrubbery in front yards, is spread- ing through the country. It is based on the feeling that too much shade" has been the rule in the past. Mod- ern architecture demands that sun- shine be admitted freely, not only to the outside, but also to the in- side of the house through the in- creased use of glass. Flowers in the front yard revel in the sun- shine, and cast no shade to the detriment of the house and lawn. Advertising doesn't cost-it pays!

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Cancer Ranks, First Among Ills Feared By Man Regular Visits To Doctor De- tect Virulent Growth In Early Stages Cancer ranks second among the leading causes of death in" this country. But it probably ranks first among ills feared by mankind. This fear, based largely on misin- formation, is responsible for many cancer deaths which could have been prevented. Afraid to face the truth, believing cancer incurable, some people foolishly stay away from doctors when a prompt medi- cal checkup might have resulted in a cure and the saving of their lives. Cancer often can be cured if di- agnosed and treated in time. It is believed that of the estimated 170,- 000 who die of it annually, at least one-third, or 55,00.0, could be saved if their disease was detected in the early stages. A cancer is a wild or disorderly growth of living cells in some part of the body which destroys normal cells surrounding it, and if un- checked eventually impairs vital functions of the body. In addition to the destruction in the area where the cancer starts, cancerous cells may break off from the original growth and be carried by the blood stream to other parts of the body, where they start ndw cancers. "But it must be remembered that a cancer begins to grow only in one spot, and when discovered in this early local stage, usually it can be removed or destroyed and the per- son cured. It is when the cancer reaches a more advanced stage that it is dangerous and difficult to cure. Those who go regularly to their doctors for physical examinations have less to fear from cancer than those who neglect checkups. By regular visits to the doctor there is a better chance of detecting a pos- ible cancer in an early stage, when the doctor can take measures to check it before it endangers life. When cancer first attacks, there RJay be no pain. Often it is only when the cancer grows IaFg? that It causes physical suffering. So we must watch symptoms that might mean early cancer. These include: A sore on any part of the body, especially the tongue, mouth or lips, which doesn't seem to heal. A lump, or hard spot anywhere on the body, but particularly in the breast. A sudden change in the color or size of a wart, mole or birthmark. Bleeding' or other abnormal dis- charge from any natural body open- ing. Persistent hoarseness or diffi- culty in swallowing, for any unex- plained reason. Loss of appetite and persistent attacks of indigestion. None of these symptoms may be due to cancer, yet each points to the fact that a medical checkup is in order. If it isn't cancer, the per- son is reassured and relieved of worry. But if cancer is discovered, there is the satisfaction of knowing it has been detected in an early stage when there is the best chance of cure with the proper medical treatment.

LEGISLATURE (Continued from page 1) and most other controversial issues died in committees or on the cal- endar. His major victory was re- vision of the state citrus laws and enactment of the "taste test" re- quirement for all citrus products. None of his tax program 'was adopted, and a bill creating a cen- tral purchasing department -fell by the wayside in a senate-house cow- ferenc' committee. The legislature did pass a bill t&d keep livestock off the highways, but it was modified to meet all ob- jections of cattlemen and its effec- tive date put off until July 1, 1950. Among Warren's recommenda- tions which the legislature either rejected or failed to consider were an anti-Klan bill, state-wide refor- estation and fire control, state civil service, aid to the cities, and crea- tion qf a state tax commission. It followed his recommendations --in passing a series of water con- trol bills and setting up a big South Florida flood and drought control district, authorized participating in regional education, prohibiting po- litical coercion of state employes and requiring anti-communist oaths from all public employes. Regulation of -privately owned electric and gas companies fihialil was postponed by this legislature after, the senate had approved the Baynard bill for enlarging the Flor- ida Railroad and Public Utilities "Comrpission and putting the gas and electric companies under them. A minority in the house prevented this *bill from coming to a final vote by various parliamentary tac- tics. Chief opponents were the mu- nicipal ownership cities and repre- sentatives of REA co-operatives. This legislature took several hitches in its belt by enacting what's known as the Little Hatch -larger n'es anld. protects. newspa-. pers in their legal advertising claims. A series of election laws spon- sored by Rep. Charles Andrews of Orange county originally reduced all public notice to a minimus, but he and other house members rein- stated the. public notice feature to the number of times of pubica6iof previously required. The new general registration act allows a registration officer to purge the rolls by advertising the names of those who are suspected of having left tlie county.
