first lady in Florida history. Gov-
ernor Warren is 43 years of age.

-the annual --Floida Boys State to

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

As Truck Overturns

Mrs. C. E. Register of Cottondale
Pinned Beneath'Vehicle

Mrs. Evelyn Register, 21, wife of
Clarence E. Register of Cottondale,
died instantly about 5 o'clock Sun-
day afternoon on the OoverLLreet-
road near Wewahitchka when the
panel- truck she was driving got

She and her husband were re-
turning to Cottondale after secur-
ing a cottage at Beacon Hill where
they intended to spend his vaca-
tion. Mr. Register, who suffered

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,

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.

DEAR SHOPPERS-We've been wondering how we could say
a page full in a few lines that's.not easy. Maybe we
should employ a ghost writer for this column maybe we
should spend this money going fishing. Anyhow, neverthe-
less and notwithstanding, we shall direct your attention to some-
thing we're all interested in namely: Saving Money and
Keeping Happy! We'll help you do both here. There's never a
dull moment where values are good enough and customers are
plentiful. A tiny profit is all we seek. Come to Boyles see
for yourself!
Junefully yours,
R. GLENN BOYLES.

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.
There should be some means of compelling
the legislature to agree on. and pass appropria-
tion and revenue measures about the middle of
the sixty-day session, and then members could
devote the remaining thirty days to petty poli-
tics, horse-trading, local hills and other matters
of no great importance.

of them started from the elm to
the roof of our building, a. distance
of about 35 feet. It took him a long
time to make up his mind, but fi-
nally"he took off. When he had
more than passed the halfway-
point he suddenly turned and flew
back to the nest. We heard a lot
of scolding from his maw and we
never did know whether or not he
finally made the flight.
We're hoping to be on hand again
this year when the fledglings at-
tempt their first takeoffs.

Carrots Aplenty
The' i948 carrot crop in Califor-
nia, Arizona and Texas was the
largest ovn record-50 per cent above
average. By the pound, I bujlches

supply large amounts of vitamin A.
So do splnaeh, kale, broccoli,
squash, and sweet potatoes. Nutri-

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE


The Star's annual visitors, Mr.
and Mrs. Mockingbird, have again
taken up their residence in one of
the elm treesin our back yard, and
now, from the noise emanating
from amongst the leaves," they-. ap-
parently have ,their family well oa
;.-the way.
/ This is the third year these fea-
'thered friends have set up house-
keeping in our tree and, probably
due to the-fact that we had no win-
ter weather -to speak of, they ar-
rived on the scene earlier than
usual. While other trees had -al-
ready -leafed out, our elms/ took
their time and put on their spring
finery at the proper time. Our ten-
ants fussed and fumed in the bare
branches for about two weeks and


at times would fly away for an
hour or two, possibly out looking
over other available apartments--
but they always returned. Finally
the leaves broke, f4th and they im-
mediately started their building
project.

opinion thai there may "be a pair

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.

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.

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.
