Our Country Right or Wrong


CANDIDATES FEW AND FAR BETWEEN
With but two weeks remaining before the
deadline on March 18 for the qualification of
candidates for county offices, it begins to look
as though there will not be much to interest Gulf
county voters locally. Thes offices include mem-
bership on the county school board and member-
ship on the board of county commissioners.
Of course, we'll have the contest between
George Tapper and Charlie Wilson for represen-
tative in the. legilatur, a.nd lso the state-wide
race between George Smathers and Claude Pep-
per for the U. S. senate, but voters as a rule tale
more interest in elections when they have the
opportunity to cast their ballots for a larger num-
ber of local candidates.
We have hard rumors there will be more can-
didates in the field before the deadline, but as
yet they ,re few and far between.


WHAT ABOUT THE PROBLEMS?
One of the most thoughtful commentaries on
the president's legislative proposals was recently
made by Walter Lippman. He wrote: "Truman's
technique is never to deal with problems, but
only with the excellent results that would be
achieved if the problems had been solved .
leaving the critic no target to shoot at, no antago-
nist to get hold of, only the thin air to thrash
around in."


WHAT 'WOMEN'S RIGHTS'?
The campaign for "equal rights" for women
has resulted in the United States senate approv-
ing a constitutional amendment to forbid dis-
crimination against women, as women, in the
48 states.
This is unquestionably a worthy piece of legis-
lation, as indicated by the support it has received
from women's organizations generally. We find,
however, that the whole purpose of the "equal
rights" amendment is confusing to a lot of peo-
ple in Florida-especially husbands.
These puzzled fellows raised a few questions,
complete with answers, as follows:
In a divorce, who collects alimony? Answer
-The woman.
Which spouse can claim property tax exemp-
tion in the event of the other's death? Answer
-The woman.
Who has the privilege of refusing jury serv-
ice? Answer-The woman.
On a crowded bus, who gets the seat? An-
swer-The woman.
If a man needs a suit and his wife wants a
dress, who has priority on the piggy, bank? An-
swer-The woman.
When a wife wants to go dancing or show-
seeing and hubby prefers to stay home and relax
after a hard day at the office, who is in the right?
Answer--The woman.
Who is clearly the underprivileged sex? An-
swer-Man.
Any opinions contained in the foregoing are
those of unidentified third persons and are in no
way to be construed as expressing the views of
the editors of this newspaper, all happily mar-
ried men.-Tampa Tribune.

Gulf county, long neglected in the way of new
roads from the state highway department, is get-
ting quite a slice this year. Could it be due to
the forthcoming election?

The president says it's all right to keep getting
farther in debt if you have something to shdw
for it. Like millions of bushels of potatoes, tons
and tons of dried eggs and a mountain of butter,
perhaps?

Port St. Joe's tomorrow bids fair to achieve a
brilliance not visioned by the pioneers of her
yesterday.

Congresmun Bob Sykes and fel-

selfish intrusts and deesires of the

okay fer a voter to listen-in too,

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

IT'S TIME TO .
Think about the daylily (hemnero-
callis). This lovely flower always
wins the approval of its owner. Its
.hardiness, long bloo.ning period,
brilliant coloring and freedom from
pests makes it a must for us in
Port St. Joe. It thrives on any type
soil and with very little care. How-
ever, for the greatest number of
small blooms over an extended pe-
riod, liberal feeding and watering
and frequent light cultivation is
suggested.
Daylilies are grown most effec-
tively in clumps of three or more
plants in the bays of shrubbery
borders. It colors are. grouped sep-
arateiy, perhaps the best etfctt
will be attained. Order a few plants.
now from a reliable nursery and
you will have made an investment
that will more than repay you.

Poor Horsie
Small Daughter: "I found a horse-
shoe this morning."
I Mother: "Do you know what that
means?"
Daughter: "Yes. It means that
some poor horsie is running around
in his stocking feet."

finishing' as top man, as the frost
settles on the punkin-come au-
tumn. 'Course, Bob Sykes he ain't
got no opposishun, so he don't need
to wurry about gittin' re-elected,
but then he still kin start lowerin'
that there boom on Govt. spending .
Yours with the low down,
JO SERRA.

nobody seems to know. We have
been informed, too, that a number
of crosses have been burned in this
vicinity lately in Highland View,
Oak Grove and Beacon Hill.
Some time Saturday night-un-
der cover of darkness, naturally-
copies of "The Southern Gospel,"
dated July, 1949, with a Chattahoo-
chee dateline, and copies of "The
Klansman," (no date) were dis-
tributed throughout Port St. Joe in
hit-or-miss fashion, apparently no
distinction being made, since the
papers were stuck in door handles
of vacant store buildings as well
as those that were occupied.

Deer Released On

New Game Refuge

The recently-formed 80,000-acre
game reservation and refuge area
located in Gulf, Bay and Calhoun
counties received its first major
stock of game Saturday afternoon
when 49 deer brought in from Wis-
consin were released in two sep-
arate sections, according to Harlan
Pridgeon, Gulf county wildlife offi-
cer. Release of the deer was wit-
nessed by some 150 interested per-
sons.
The first load of 27 deer was re-
leased near Clarksville, and the
second load of 22 was released near
Wetappo, nine miles west. of We-
wahitchka.
Officials of the state fresh water
fish and game commission said re-
lease of the deer is part of a
planned program to restock the
huge reservation which in future
years will be a paradise for sports-
men from north and west Florida,
southwest Georgia and south Ala-
bapa.,
