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.
"It also gives me a lot of satis-
faction to make good on my assur-
ances to the good people of Port St.
Joe and Gulf county."

Legislative Group Feels No
Special Session Necessary

A group of Florida legislators
from all parts of the state met in-
formally in Tampa and compli-
mentedl Governor Warren and the
state cabinet on effecting a 25 per
cent reduction in state expendi-
tures, but questioned the advisa-
bility of cutting allotments to all
departments by the same percent-
age.
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."

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."

Still clinging to the cellar posi-
tion in the Gulf Coast League, the

To Pass On $63,165 Debt
For Street Paving

Under a bill passed at the recent
session of the legislature, the free-

cost to the city, and have the value
of the paving assessed against the
property owners on the streets that

FRIDAY, JNE 24, 19g THE STA, PORT S. JOE, i.. 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.

Our Country ;-7 Right or Wrong


DON'T DESTROY NATURAL HERITAGES
Independence Day, with its celebrations of "the
land of the free," is not far away. 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

But the old order is changing. More and more "Yes, sir," replied the old man,
people are realizing that ownership of land is a "there was a guy at the Port Thea-


stewardship that carries with it the responsibility
for protecting and maintaining and improving it.
Our heritage has been a bounteous one. Our
children and grandchildren also must have a

PAPER MILLS WHY?
"I guess we must have paper. 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.

A fast automobile will get you where you want
to go in a hurry-and sometimes it provides a
quick trip to eternity.

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.

Mrs. Gypsie A. McNeill and Mr.
Pick Hollinger came before the
board in connection with the pro-
posed public road from U. S. High-
way No. 98 to Indian Pass. Chair-
man Gay informed Mrs. McNeill
and Mr. Hollinger that the county
road department will grade a road
across the flats from the end of the
present black-top road to the first
sand dune, but will not go any fur-
ther at this time. Chairman Gay in-
structed T. D. Whitfield, county
road superintendent, to move his
equipment to that part of the coun-
ty and grade said portion of road.
Mr. Frank R. Kittrell, state road
department right of way agent,
came before, the board in connec-
tion With the county road project at
Beacon Hill. Mr. Kittrell notified
the board that Dr. D. I. Rainey is
asking $100 for a 20-foot right-of-
way easement on his property and
that he is the only property owner
on this road project that has asked
any consideration for a right-of-way
easement across their property.
Whereupon the board informed Mr.
Kittrell that if Dr. Rainey did not
give, free of charge, a right-of-way
deed to cross his property that the
county would cancel the construc-
tion of this road.
Whereupon J. S. Daniel moved
that the county accept the quit
claim deeds given to the board of
county commissioners by L. E.
Creamer and wife, Pearlie Mae
Creamer, Eddie Rouse and wife,
Ruth Rouse, and Lillie Cox Cobb
and husband, A. D. Cobb, and Alice
Stephens and husband, J. A. Ste-
phens, for a strip of land 15 feet in
width for a9 public road right-of-
way. This motion seconded by Pe-
ter G. Strange. Upon roll call the
motion was unanimously carried.
Chairman Gay asked the clerk to
read the balance of each item in
the 1948-1949 budget and to inform
the board of how much of the pres-
ent budget had already been spent.
After which the board informed the
clerk not to issue any further war-
rants on the mothers' pension fund
from the present budget, due to the
iact'-that this fund has been ex-
haustend.

Home Society Fund Appeal Fay Morris Receives Award
ST Miss Fay Morris, who is attend-
Reaches $360,863 To Date ing Emory University, Atlanta, Ga.,
was one of two students receiving
r> &' $25 "courtesy" awards made avail-
S ) able annually by an anonymous
donor at the school of nursing. Fay,
who attended Brenau College and
%1 Florida State University before en-
tering Emory, is now serving as
chaplain of the nurses' student gov-
,- -. ernment organization.


HE WANTS A HOME

The many friends and contribu-
tors to the Children's Home Society
of Florida will be pleased to learn
that the current "Direct Letter of
Appeal" campaign to raise $450,000
to erect four badly needed new,
modern receiving home buildings in
South Jacksonville is progressing
very favorably.
Announcement is made by State
Superintendent Marcus C. "Daddy"
Fagg that a total of $360.863.42 had,
been received from bequests, me-
morial gifts, securities, cash- and
pledges up to June 15. This leaves
a balance of $89,136.42 still to be
contributed.
All who can are asked to send
their gifts to R. V. Covington, the
treasurer, at 1649 Osceola Street,
Jacksonville. The "widow's mite"
will be just as welcome as larger
gifts from those who Can i% e more.

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS

(Continued from rpage 1)
prompt treatment are important
and may prevent crippling.
Consult Your County Health De-
partment or your chapter of the
National Foundation for advice and
help. Your chapter, of which Joe
Mira is chairman, is prepared to
pay that part of the cost of care
and treatment you cannot meet-
including transportation, after-care
and such aids as wheel chairs,
braces and other orthopedic equip-
ment. This service is made possible
by the March of Dimes.
Remember-Facts Fight Fears.
Half or more of those having in-
fantile paralysis show no after-ef-
fects; another fourth recover with
very slight crippling. A happy statL
of mind tends toward health and re-
covery. Don't let your anxiety or
fear reach your children. Your con-
fidence makes things easier for you
and for others.

1 !-' Use of Kerosene
Misuse of kerosene, or coal oil,
particularly in rural areas, causes
hundreds of deaths each year. One
common and dangerous practice is
the use of kerosene to speed up a
slow fire. Kerosene vaporizes when
;poured into a warm stove, and this
'vapor, may explode, igniting cloth-
ing and furniture in the room. Kero-
sene should never be uped: to start
fires. :

Starch in Egypt
Starch from sources other than
corn were used for nonfood pur-
poses as long ago as 3500 B. C. in
Egypt, where papyrus was held to-
gether with a starchy adhesive and
women used starch for face powder.
