New High Urged For Dimes Drive County Polio Campaign Di- rector Urges Everyone To Double Contributions The 1950 March of Dimes must hit a new high "if the nation is to undo the ravages of the blackest toll of infantile paralysis in its his- tory," Henry Campbell, Gulf county March of Dimes director, said yes- terday in urging everyone to double their contribution to the drive this month. The year 1949, said Campbell, was the most severe in the 12-year history of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. With more than 40,000 persons stricken, epi- demic aid funds of the National Foundation were virtually depleted, he pointed out, and it was neces- sary to conduct an emergency.drive for the first time in the organiza- tion's history. "The financial problems involved in caring for polio victims are in- creasingly difficult, not only be- cause of widespread epidemics, but also because of soaring medical and equipment costs," he said. "Only an enormously successful March of Dimes appeal, which is scheduled for January 16 to 31, will enable the National Foundation to provide, continuing care for the thousands already stricken while at the same time preparing for any eventuality 1950 may bring. The year 1949 has taught us that we must be alerted for extremes." Duck and Goose Hunting Season Closes Tomorrow The deer hunting'season in Flor- ida ended yesterday, and Saturday. A. D.

Closed Wednesday Afternoons w0 :e" FRDY*AUR ,15 H TR OTS.JE UFCUT.FOIAPG HE Terror Thrillers Began' "Way Back Not New Development, But Had Beginning In Early 1800's Stories of panthers and Indians, terrified sleep-walkers, and ghostly voices commanding "Keel her!" are not only the province of today's radio thrillers, according to Dr. Harry Warfel, English professor at the University of Florida, Gaines- ville. Instead, they are all in the American tradition, and have their roots in the melodramatic terror novels of a little-known writer, Charles Brockden Brown. Dr. Warfel has found that many of the plots, situations and the ter- ror techni:iuns of squeaking doors and screams go back to 1800, when a Quaker novelist in Philadelphia was scaring the daylights out of his readers with such books as "Ar- thur Mervyn," "Wieland" and "Or- mond." "Brown was the American inter- preter of the Gothic novel," said Warfel. "He influenced Poe and Hawthorne, and his influence is still with us. Brown used natural phenomena, like sleep-walking, ven- triloquism, identical twins, a n d spontaneous combustion to get a supernatural effect. The possibility of human spontaneous combustion was then widely discussed. It was thought that a certain percent of brandy in the stomach would cause the breath to ignite, and the body to explode and burn up from within!" "Fiction was frowned upon in those days," continued the profes- sor. "Brown did much to make it respectable. His story, 'Edgar Hunt- ley,' which includes a murder, In- dians, caves and a sleep-walking boy, was a forerunner of Scott and Cooper, and of today's radio serials that small boys love." According. to Warfel, Brown is a minor classic, but story-telling has come a -long way since 1800. "Brown was much too concerned with preaching. He introduced too many characters, used too little dialogue, and had too many people ,killed with pen-knives. The average radio drama of today is a better story. But remember that by 1820 probably only 150 American books had been written in all, and fiction was considered the deviFs handi- work." Signs To Be Erected On Burned-Out Woodland Will Read "Look What Fire Did" To Attract Attention of Passing Motorists Florida motorists, passing recent- ly burned-out woodlands, will soon see big red-lettered signs reading "Look What Fire Did." The signs 'are to be erected by "fire-fighting crews of the Florida Forest Service and by members of various county farm bureaus over the state, according to John Ford,, executive vice-president of the Flor- ida Farm Bureau. "We thought this idea might be beneficial in preventing forest fires by calling the costly destruction to the attention of passing motorists," he said.

Our Country '`9 Right or Wrong FLORIDA SETS AN EXAMPLE The state of Florida is now demonstrating that it intends to plan its future without running to the federal government for help. Florida wants industries and payrolls which are suited to its resources. Years of just talking about adding industry to the state's economic foundation of agriculture, fishing and the tourist trade has ended, and action begun. Governor Fuller Warren recently named a Florida Indus- trial Development Council, made up of nine top- flight, practical business men and the heads of seven state agencies.

Now you take folks like us-we have traveled all over the United States and, so to speak, know all the "crossroads." You just don't know how wonderful it is to gome into a town, being strangers, and have the pleasure of everyone being as nice as folks in Port St. Joe. When you go into a store here to shop, the clerks are so courteous and they make you feel so welcome that shopping is really a pleasure. Now, St. Joe citizens, just pause for a few minutes and think of the things that make your little city so outstanding to a stranger's eyes: First, is the cleanliness of the city, the fine churches, schools, and your beautiful new municipal building. Then nature has added her touch of beauty by the bay waters along the waterfront and beach. Miles before entering Port St. Joe, coming from Panama City, you can see the paper mill that stands so staunch and steady-kind of re- minds you of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor; when the mill is blowing out steam she seems to be saying "this is my town, my people work here, and I'm protect- ing them." Yes, St. Joe folks, just look about you and be proud of your home town. And don't think that this summer, when we're traveling in the midwest, eastern and northern states that we won't praise to the skies and tell folks everywhere we travel of the swell place and the wonderful people who live in Port St. Joe, Florida.

When the anti-trust lawyers in Washington filed their suit to put the A&P out of business, they immned~tely handed out for all the newspapers of the United States a story giving in detail their "allegations" against this company. When we published advertisements giving our side of the case, they protested, even though they had made, and have continued to make, in newspapers, in speeches and over the radio these charges that would seri ously7damage our business, if they were believed by the public. Every week millions of American housewives patronize A&P stores. Many of them would no .want to deal with the kind of people that the anti-trust lawyers represent us to be. We think we have a right to protect this 90-year old business which has made it possible for millions of American families to get more and better food for their money, which is providing high-wage employment for 110,000 Americans and which is helping millions of farmers to improve the methods of distributing their produce. No answer by us would be necessary if the anti-trust lawyers were always right. But they, like all other -human beings, can be wrong. In this case we know they are wrong. They have been wrong before. In case after case they made charges against A&P which were proved in court to be utterly witKout found' dation. We will prove that statement right up to the hilt. The anti-trust lawyers tell the public that they won a previous anti-trust suit against us at Danville, Illinois. They did. What they do not tell you is that they brought case after case against the A&P in federal courts all over the United States. Before they won this case they suffered three defeats. The anti-trust lawyers have told everybody about the time that the courts said they were right. We think you are entitled to know about the three times the courts said they were wrong. Now we are going to tell you about the first one. In future advertisements we will tell you about all of them. The Washington Bread Case 'In April, 1941, the anti-trust lawyers brought a criminal suit in Wash- So here was a case in which the anti-trust lawyers made seriously damaging ington, D.

This was not the only time the anti-trust lawyers made charges against ea the A&P which the courts said were not true. In future ads we are going Can anyone imagine, any charge calculated to be more damaging to a to tell you about these other suits. We are not going to duck, either. We retail grocery business?

These charges were false. The anti-trust lawyers say that they are not attacking "bigness" or efficiency. They have to say that because the courts have decided that 3n that case it developed that the A&P and the two competitors who were "bigness"' and efficiency and selling at low prices is not a crime. charged with conspiring with us to maintain high bread prices' actually sold bread cheaper than most of the other stores in Washington. But the fact is crystal clear that they only brought their bread suit against The anti-trust lawyers presented and argued their case. When they were the big companies and against companies that sold good bread at the through, Federal District Judge Allen T. Goldsborough ruled that A&P lowest prices; just as in this current suit they are attacking a big company and the other defendants did not even have to put in a defense. He that sells good food cheap. ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty." dge Goldsborogh said to the anti-trst lawyers: We are going to show the American people that the suit to destroy A&P Judge Goldsborough said to the anti-trust lawyers:is really a suit against efficiency and against real competition. "If you were to show this record to any experienced trial lawyer in the world, he would tell you that there The real question involved in this suit is whether businessmen are going was not any evidence at all. to be encouraged to do a better and more efficient job; or whether we are going to let the anti-trust lawyers in Washington blow the whistle on "Honestly, I have never in my over forty years' experi- anybody who gets big by giving the people more for their money. ence seen tried a case that was as absolutely devoid of evidence as this.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JANUARY G&; 950 FIDAY JAUR ,90TESAPR T OE UFCUTFOIAPG EE Study Underway of Heart Disease Among Children Disease Ranks As Number One Killer, Says State Health Board A study to find out the number of cases and type of heart disease there are among Florida school children has been started by the "state board of health, according to Dr. Frances Read, director of the heart disease control program. Announcement of this new effort to combat heart disease comes on the heels of a report made by the state health agency that heart dis- ease continues to be Florida's num- ber one killer. Dr. Read points out that last year the lives of 6,903 persons were claimed by heart disease-125 in- fants under one year of age died of congenital malformation of the heart, while apoplexy caused the death of 2,442 persons. She said that in order to study the situation among school chil- ,dren, a representative group in Es- cambia county, ranging in age from 10 to 19, will be given complete physical examinations. Special em- phasis will be placed on the heart to determine the incidence,-various types of heart disease, and the nor- mal heart tracing in healthy chil- dren. The study is under the direction of a well-known cardiologist, Capt. Ashton Graybiel, U. S. Navy Medi- cal Corps. Two state health depart- ment heart technicians are assist- ing with the work. "We feel that this program will be very beneficial in helping lower the death rate from heart disease," Dr. Read declared. "It is also im- portant because there is no diag- nostic center for congenital mal- formation of the heart south of Bal- timore."

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN THE O Times Seem To Be Changing Rapidly, Says Bill Traweek Turn of Half Century Finds 'Young Bill' Worrying About Changes The editor of The Star ran across Bill Traweek on New Year's Day and asked him how he was doing. (As far as we know, Bill is some- where between 99 and 111 years old, but to look at him and talk with him, you'd say he was in the neighborhood of 25, especially when some young girl passes by with a pair of calves or a sweater that ap- parently belongs to Lana Turner). "You know," said Bill, "it seems to me that they're building stair- cases steeper than they used to. The rises are higher, or there are more of them, or something.. Per- haps this is because it's so much farther today from the first floor to the second floor, but I've noticed it is getting harder to make two steps at a time any more. Nowadays it is all I can do to make one at a time." "Perhaps you're getting old," we suggested to Bill. "How are your eyes? Can you still read The Star without your glasses?" "Well," said Bill, "that's some-. thing I've wanted to talk to you about. Seems the print you're using in The Star lately is mighty small. Seems all newspapers are getting farther and farther away when I hold 'em, and I have to squint to make 'em out. The other day I had to back half way out of the tele- phone booth down at Major Hobbs place in order to read the number on the pay telephone. It's obviously ridiculous to suggest having some- body read aloud to me-that's not too satisfactory, because people to- day speak in such a low voice that I can't hear them very well." "Is that all that is bothering you," we asked. "Well, no," said Bill. "Everything is farther away than it used to be. It's twice the distance from my house to the mill at Kenney's than it used to be-and they've added a fair-sized hill that I never noticed before. (We could have told him that it was merely the rise over the railroad tracks, but he wouldn't have believed us.) "A lot of other thing are differ- ent, too," said Bill. "George Cooper in the barber shop no longer holds up a mirror behind me when he's finished, so I can see the back of my head, and my wife has been tak- ing care of tickets lately when we go to the Port Theater. "Creech Brothers nor Costin's don't put the same materials into clothes any more, either. I've no- ticed that all my suits have a ten- dency to shrink, especially in cer- tain places, such as around the waist or the seat of the pants, and the laces they put in shoes nowa- days are much harder to reach." Thinking to get Bill off his own personal problems, we asked him what he thought about the weather. "Even the weather is changing," said Bill. "It's getting colder in the winter, and the summers are hotter than they used to be. I'd go away- if it wasn't so far and I had some place to go to. This here rain in Florida is wetter today than the rain we used to get up there in Blountstown 10 years ago, and I've got to put on my rubbers when I go out. Drafts are more severe, too. It must be the way they build the windows today." "Well, how are people today,",we asked this aging 'octogenarian. "People are changing, too," said Bill. "For one thing, they're much younger than they used to be when I was their age. And, too, they seem to be more polite than in my rime though-several young sprouts have called me 'Sir' recently, and one of them on Christmas Day asked me if he could help me across Reid Two Men Lose Lives Fishing At Burgess John C. Tipton of Springfield was drowned Thursday of last week while fishing in Burgess Creek, and his body was recovered shortly af- ter the accident. A second fisherman, E. R. Tra- wick of Chipley, also lost his life Saturday while fishing in Burgess. Trawick's wife was with him when the boat overturned, and members of a nearby fishing party helped Mrs. Trawick to shore, but were unable to rescue her husband.

"Well," he said, after cogitating for'a minute or two, "people my own age seem to be much older than I am.

"I got to thinking about poor old Jimmie McCall while I was shaving this morning. I stopped for a mo- ment and looked at my own reflec- tion in the mirror-they don't seem to use the same kind of glass in mirrors any more."
