Our Country -7T Right or Wrong TOWARD A 'GANGSTER GOVERNMENT' Maxwell Anderson, the distinguished play- wright who authored "What Price Glory" and other Broadway hits, has written a little essay called "The Guaranteed Life." At the end of it he says this: "The power of government in the United Staates has grown like a fungus in wet weather. Our government has turned into a giant give-away program, offering far more for votes than was ever paid by the most dishonest ward-heeler in the days of Mark Hanna. We move steadily toward the prefabricated state. Yet we see clearly that in England, socialism turns rapidly into communism, and that in Russia and Jugoslavia, communism gives neither freedom" nor security. The guaranteed life turns out to be not only not free-it's not safe. Do we want a gangster government? That's what we're going toward." This is thke sorry fashion in which freedom is lost. And, ironically enough, while we are in the process of losing it we are robbing ourselves blind to pay the ever-growing costs of the pa- ternal state. At a time when gI'.-.tiiji-lu t 1 :-. nues are enormous, and when tin.-i'- : lel.tii', ly TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Record Number of Candidates When Gulf county voters go to the polls on 'May 7 they will be -handed a ballot about the size of a horse blanket if the number- of can- ,didates qualifying for office means anything. In addition to the 48 of- fice-seekers in Gulf county, 90-odd names of those seeking nomination .as delegate-at-large to the Demo- *cratic national convention, a field of 11 in the governor's race, 7 in the U S. senate race, and 24 seek- ing other state offices. In addition, there are 10 candidates for the post of member of the national Demo- cratic committee, and 149 candi- dates for the 18-member convention delegation. Wade Williams Found Shot Wade Williams, 45, a war vet- eran who made his living by fish- ing near Wewahitchka, was found lying dead on the highway near the county seat Tuesday night with four bullets in his body. Sheriff Byrd Parker said he was stumped by the killing, as Williams was not known to have any enemies. Parent-Teachers Name Officers The Parent-Teachers Association last Thursday night elected the fol- lowing officers for the year: Mrs. E. H. Horton, prseident; Mrs. John Lane, first vice-president; Rev. D. little unemployment, we have adopted deficit spending. It is clear that even a moderate drop in business activity, even a small-sized depres- 9 sion, would be a cataclysm under these condi- g tions. The recent elections in England, Australia and New Zealand showed a strong trend away from the "prefabricated state" on the part of people who have experienced it at first hand. The big question for us is whether or not we can profit by such examples. QUANTITY NO SUBSTITUTE FOR QUALITY The current controversy over the administra- tion's health insurance bill is not whether we shall have health insurance or shall not have it. It is, instead, whether it shall be on a voluntary basis or on a compulsory basis and whether medicine shall remain free and progressive, or whether it shall be straitjacketed in political con- trols. The American people want health insurance- and they are getting it. The statistics are exceed- ingly impressive. As of last August, more than 61,000,000 Americans were protected.against hos- pital costs, 84,000,000 against surgical bills, and 13,000,000 against medical expenses. It is esti- mated that by now close to 70,000,000 of us are protected against economic hazards of illness, and that within the next two or three years 90,- 000,000 will be so protected. It would be ridiculous to argue that the coun- try has no medical problem. It has, and it is a serious problem. But the point is that, in the normal course of events, and by purely volun- tary means, we are gradually solving it. And to put the government into the picture, as the dom- inant influence in medical practise, would create an infinitely worse problem than the one we are trying to solve. In a Reader's Digest article, based on an in- vestigation of Britain's compulsory health insur- ance scheme, Harold E.

George L. Cooper, who re- cently rejoined the army and is now stationed at Fort Knox, Ky., attending wheeled vehicle and tank mechanics school, states that he finds the service a great deal dif- ferent than during the war, in that men now in service want to be in, and there's not so much griping, drinking, fussing and raising sand. "It's this way today," said Cor- poral Cooper, "if a man doesn't want to be in the army, the army just doesn't want him." He also said there is a big dif- ference in the chow. "In the three weeks I've been in this time, we've had only one bad meal. There's al-_ ways plenty of milk, butter and fresh vegetables."

Turner of Miami gave a timely and forceful talk that should be brought to the attention of every qualified voter in the state. Turner pointed out that public pp,, inion is not always right and that ,by training the youth popular vet- i,...,ing ,can be .guided. He cited the -'3pcase of Germany and Italy where misdirected- youth backed Hitler and Mussolini. The yoxth of these- countries were taught to think wrong, and the world paid for it in blood, sweat and tears. "Many men have' died' for the r,-.ight to .vote," Turner said, "yet' there are those among us today who won't even take the trouble to register and vote^ "Frequently you hear the ques- tion: 'What good will one vote do?' "Well, one vote has had a lot to do with a lot of things in this coun- try. Thomas Jefferson was elected president of the United States by one vote in the electoral college; so was John Quincy Adams arid Rutherford B. Hayes. Hayes' elec- tion was contested, and again he won by one vote. The man who cast that vote was a congressman from Indiana who won his seat in con-. gress by a single vote, and that one vote was cast by a citizen who was desperately ill but insisted upon be- ing taken to the polls so he could NOTICE FOR DIVORCE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA.

"More recently the draft act in World War II passed the house by just one vote. And in 1944, for ex- ample, just one more vote in each of the Ohio precincts Would have defeated Taft. One more additional vote in each Ohio precinct would also have carried the state for Dewey and defeated Truman.

It is not necessary to remove the mulch. Fertilizer should be scattered over the mulch, starting a few inches from the trunk and applying it as far out as the branches extend on small plants. For large plants the appli- cation should cover a two-foot ra- dius. Water fertilizer slowly into the soil after applying. Prune thin or scraggly azaleas now. In the case of grafts, elimi- nate any suckers that are sprouting on the understock. Do any neces- sary shaping without delay of aza- leas an d other evergreens that have finished blooming.

Army Air Force with Britain was given Port St. Joe Rotarians at their lun- cheon meeting Thursday of last week. Flight Lieutenant Hutchinson, an exchange airman who is attending tactical school at Tyndall Field, re- viewed the history of the British air force from its beginning until the present. According to the speaker, the first venture into the air was made in 1878 when military personnel as- cended in balloons in an experiment to determine the possible help to scouting for artillery units. From the division in 1914 of the naval and air strength into separ- ate units until both were unified in 1918, air power was steadily de- veloped in Britain, even though on a small scale in total numbers. When the recent war broke out, the total air strength rose from 50,000 men in 1939 to a peak strength of 1,250.000 men in 1944. Present peacetime strength is at approximately 350,000 men, accord- ing to Hutchinson.
