Our Country Right or Wrong GARDENING OFFERS REWARDS The editor of The Star used to be one of Port St. Joe's roootin', tootimist vegetable gardeners, putting in rows of this, that and those every spring, but here the last few years we've been so overrun with work we haven't been able to raise anything (not that we raised much in the past, but at least we had a lot of fun growing to- matoes that cost $1.37 per each). We have a hankering to garden this year, and we urge all our readers to do likewise, for there is a lot of pleasure to be obtained from flowers and vegetables-and occasionally such activity can develop a monetary profit. However, we're not mu .h concerend here with the economic, gains of gardening. There are other values that come to, the individual who seeks to develop something of beauty and perfection in accord- ance with the laws of nature. There are countless homes in Port St. Joe on lots that need the charm that can come only from well-appointed surroundings. It may take years to develop an attractive lawn or garden, but the task will bring satisfaction, however long de- layed. Besides, what you do with your lot will addt to the beauty of Port St. Joe. When it comes to vegetable gardening, we've got to admit that the process involves work. But at the same time, we know of quite a number of St. Joe businessmen who would be physically benefited by some exercise (including Ye Ed). thousands of small businesses have Comets are named after a Greek had their loan applications rejected word meaning "long-haired".

I think it's a pretty wonderful idea." We tried to explain to him that the complete welfare state must be a slave state. In the early days of this country, when slavery of the negro existed, Georgia passed laws that guaranteed to all slaves "the right to food and raiment, to kind attention when sick, to maintenance in old age." The slaves thus were given "security," but they were slaves nonetheless, subject to the upchal- lengeable orders of their masters. In modern times, we have seen "security" onI a far wider scale. In Russia, for instance, every- one is given a place to live and a certain amount to eat and wear. They are given a minimum of state medical care. They are "guaranteed" em-' ployment and, of course, the state determines where, when and for how long they shall work, and how much they shall be allowed to earn. But the people are slaves, just as the negroes were in the America of a century ago. They do what they are told-or else. The welfare state regards everyone as a ward of the government, from the cradle-.t<h-egrave. There are those in our own government be- sides the two. mentioned above, wihoa,,.a prkig hardto -sow-the seeds -of thf .ef, state here through public medicine, housing, banking, power development, farming, etc. With the federal government getting ready to dump 50,000,000 bushels of potatoes, the U.

E.. Clay Lewis Jr., has announced for re-election as representative; Thos L. Car- ter asks to be returned as county judge; and Byrd E. Parker will seek to be returned to office as sheriff. Nick Comforter has an- nounced for commissioner from the Port St. Joe district, as has George Tapper; also in the county com- mission race is Claude Hanlon in the Wewahitchka district and Roy B.

Seems these irate citizens of the coastal playground area decided upon such action because of what they termed interference with their affairs "by outside parties." Seems that seven citizens of the area, six of them from Crestview, called on Governor Warren a few days previously and asked, him to stop gambling in Okaloosa county. -The delegation told .the governor they had "'scared the slot machines under cover at present," but they ,wanted his assurance that the law would be enforced in Oaloosa.

A. Mark- ham of Gulfport. This site must have every ad- vantage for good fishing and hunt- ing, and be located somewhere in the central part 'of theI state, ac- cessible to members from the far corners of the state. -"It has long been desired that the. federation have a place with wildlife' environment, apad adequate, space for holding the r-egular meet-- ings, as well a. comfortable sleep- -ing accommodations," said Mark- ham. "Caretakers would be in- stalled to protect the investment and service the officers and mem- bers during their visits." . Markham said, however, that it was not practical to consider using the resort home for headquarters, due to the need for prompt mail service, access to telegraph facili- ties, supply houses, etc. "We could find dozens of likely places inside city limits in central Florida," he stated, "but what 'we want is a rural location with all the wildlife atmosphere possible to crowd into it, so the members can feel conservation-minded when they meet to discuss our objectives." President Markham stated that this has long been the dream of the federation and that he feels further delay may cost more in the long run than to, make a .decision this year and select the site while prop- erty values are still reasonable.
