JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1949 NUMBER 39 Budget Commission Provides Funds for Constitution Park Makes $10,000 Available for Work At Request of Governor Fuller Warren During the 1947 session of the legislature' Representative George Tapper had a bill passed providing for funds for the upkeep of Con- .stitution Park in this city, but no provision was made in the. general appropriation bill for the money. Last Saturday George received the following letter from Governor Fuller Warren: "I am very glad to advise you that the budget commission yester- day, on my motion, made available $10,000 for rehabilitation of Con- stitution Park. "I know this will be very good news to you, since you got the 1947 legislature to enact the law appro- priating this -money for Constitu- tion Park, and since you worked so hard ever since to get the money released for this purpose.

Rep. John E. Bollinger of West Palm Beach, spokesman for the en- tire group, praised the governor particularly for cutting 75 employes of the motor vehicle department from the state payroll. "This is a step in the right direc- tion," the group stated, "but the flat 25 per cent. c.ut of all depart- ments might tend to penalize more efficient and essential government services along with those depart- ments generally regarded to be loaded with dead wood." "By this action," the statement continued, "a bid apparently is be=- ing made to get public support for a special tax-raising session of the legislature. "An estimate of public opinion in our several counties indicates that at present there is absolutely no enthuisiasnmfor a special tax-raising session of the legislature..: "We believe that present taxes, plus the surplus-in the-state treas- ury on July 1, plus arldir n.dl taxes voted by the 1949 legislature, plus savings that cans be made by elimi- nating non-essential services and employes, enough money will be available for the budget commis- sion to operate the state govern- ment efficiently without new taxes or special session." id Take Your Choice Financial Plight of State Is Serious, Says Cabinet Criticizing "confused, comments" on the state's financial condition, the cabinet has issued "a simple factual statement" on Florida's fis- cal situation. The two-page outline, of the cabi- net's stand on state finances was prepared by Secretary of State Bob Gray and copies sent to every mem- ber of the legislature and every newspaper in Florida. The cabinet statement said the 1949 legislature appropriated $30,- 000,000 a year more than the state's current income. Because of this the cabinet said, it was necessary for it to cut expenditures 25 per cent below appropriations for the next three months. The statement recalled that the legislature two years ago levied no new taxes, but also made appro- priations calling for more than was coming in. Then, however, there was a war- time backlog of "between $40,000,- 000 and $50,000,000 accumulated in the state treasury, and by using this the school appropriations have been met in full the last two years. This 'back log' is now gone. "The financial Djljgh9,.of .the stAte is so serious, it is 'no time for con- fused thinking," the cabinet de- clared. Governor Warren's comment on the situation was: "Most of the confusion about state finances arises not from government bodies but from confused comment from confused sources."

GUL CONYFOID AE H Vacation Time Is Poison Ivy Time Not To Mention Aching Muscles, Blistered Feet and Ants With the first days of summer here, hikes and picnics are very much in order. It's fine to get out in the fresh air and indulge in some healthful exercise, but a hike or a picnic isn't always an unmixed blessing. There are sometimes blis- tered feet, aching muscles, ants in the picnic baskets, and poison ivy. Poison ivy is a pretty but vicious plant or vine, and it always seems to nestle around the pleasantest hiking paths or most comfortable picnic grounds. But the plant pro- duces a poisonous, oily resin that irritates the areas of stkin with which it comes in contact. Shortly after exposure, the portion of the skin which it has touched begins to itch and burn and a blister-like rash breaks out. The skin irritation that results from poison ivy is al- ways extremely uncomfortable. If a person gets a case of poison ivy, he should, see his doctor im- mediately. The doctor will give him medical treatment to bring relief from the itch inflammation. If the case is mild, the infected area should be washed with soap to remove the oil resins that cause the irritation. Creams and oint- ments can do harm because many of them contain ingredients that can further irritate and spread the rash. A mild case of poison ivy usually lasts about ten days. More severe cases may last as longas three weeks. Wise parents caution their chil- dren' against poison ivy. especially around this time of year, and teach them to identify it by description and pictures. Poison ivy is fairly easy to recognize with its green leaves which have a smooth, glossy surface and grew. in ,groups of three.

But people are coming to the realization that freedom to de- stroy our priceless heritage of natural resources is no longer among those enjoyed by people of Florida and the United States. It is realized more and more that the wealth and comforts of farmers, merchants, professional people and other groups, the welfare of schools, churches and other organizations-in short, the well-being of the entire community-depend on the proper use of our natural resources-soils, waters, forests, minerals, wildlife and scenic at- tractions. For generations we have burned off our grassy meadows-cattlemen to get fresh grass for their I cattle, hunters to chase out wild game for them, -to shoot, and smokers through carelessness and :a lack of responsibility. With the fire goes that ,organic matter that produces soil humus-the life of the soil; a necessary ingredient for good crop or timber production. With the fire go bird eggs, young pines and other treevaiid soil bacteria. For generations many farmers have misused and depleted their soils by repeated plantings -of the same crop for harvest on the same land 'year after year; by failure to plant and plow un- ,dier legume cover crops, by permitting their soils -to wash and blow away, and by failure to re- jplace calcium, phosphate and other needed min- .ierals. % "-1 Timber has been cut wantonly and unwisely, more rapidly than Mother Nature has been able SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER to replace the supply.

At least the pub- lisher of The Advertiser says so, and the big bills he pays for paper would keep a modest sort of man in food and drink. But even if we must have paper, why can't the scientists or the chemists find some better way of manufacturing it? "All this was brought to mind not long ago when I passed into the 'smell zone' of the Pan- ama City paper mill, and traveled on through that zone for 30 or 40 miles, when I hit a new 'smell zone,' the Port St. Joe paper mill zone. "The principal topic of conversation in both Panama City and Port St. Joe js the extent of the 'smell zone' of the two mills. The Panama City people will brag that their mill smells further and stronger than the Port St. Joe mill, and that when the wind is from the west, the Panama City paper mill is even smelled in Port St. Joe, the home of the rival paper mill. "I don't know which mill has the worst odor. Both are terrible. When you get in range of either you imagine you are running into a zoo full of polecats that have been badly disturbed. I don't know whether the money that is brought in by the paper mills is worth the smell or not, but I sure hope we don't land one here. A paper mill in Montgomery would have for competition only the sewage drainage creek south of the city. That creek is pretty bad, but it does not float. arbund:like paper mill smoke or.odor does. Let's keep the creek and forego the paper mill."-At- ticus Mudlins in The Montgomery Advertiser.

CONTROL OF LIQUOR AND BEER LICENSES TAKEN FROM COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Elimination of the control of county commissioners over liquor and beer licenses was achieved by a bill which the last legislature passed in its closing hours without debate. All liquor and beer control now lodges in the .hands of the state beverage director; The department prior to the ses- sion" declined to approve a sug- gested amendment that would have given the public notice when appli- cations for such licenses are made. Under the new law, the public will know about liquor and beer li- censes only from the office. of the state beverage director.

New Dam Contracts Affect Chattahoochee Contracts Awarded Four Firms On Next Phase of Construction Chattahoochee, home of the Flor- ida State Hospital, on the banks of the Apalachicola in west Gadsden county, is already beginning to feel the effects of the letting of a recent contract on construction of the huge Jim Woodruff Dam project as laborers who will work on the proj- ect arrive daily. Four east coast and New England concerns have been awarded bids countingg to nearly $9,000,000 for placing 124,000 cubic yards of con- crete in the lock, construction of lock gates and installation of op- erating machinery and an addi- tional 124,000 cubic yards of con- crete in the fixed-crest spillway. The Jim Woodruff is the first of a series of dams which have been authorized by congress in the Chat- tahoochee valley project. The dams are to permit navigation of the Chattahoochee River to Columbus, Ga,, and the Flint to Bainbridge, Ga., and to provide the means of generating electric energy by wa- ter power. The W. C. Shepherd Company, awarded the original contract to construct the earthworks in con- nection with the dam at Chattahoo- chee, is still working to complete its part of the program. When completed the Woodruff Dam w ill create a tremendous lake formed' by the impounded wa- ters of the ,two rivers. The dam is being constructed just below the confluence of the two streams. This lake is to be supervised as a recreational area and fish preserve. -Quincy Times.
