Law Says Owners Liable for'


Damages Sustained By
Any Person,

One of the biggest hazards to mo-
torists will be eliminated after June
30 when Florida's new law prohibit-
ing roaming of livestock goes into
effect.
Under the new regulation, own-
ers of livestock must keep their
cattle, hogs, sheep and goats off
the public roads after June 30, or
-subject their loitering animals to
seizure by law enforcement offi-
cials. Skunks, 'possums and turtles
are not included.
The law, which takes effect at
12:01 a. m. on July 1, was passed
by the 1949 legislature and makes
livestock owners "liable in dam-
ages for all injury and property
damage sustained by any person"
by reason of the presence of stock
on the public roads, "including the
full width of the right-of-way." The
law defines public roads as being
those "which are, and may be
maintained by the state road de-
partment."
Fence construction in Gulf and
adjoining counties has been going
on with marked rapidity lately, and
cattlemen who are interested in
improving their stock now feel that
real headway can be made.
We' areold that T recover im-
pounded livestock will prove to be
a costly business.

County Must Hold

A Second Primary

Law Has To Be Followed Al-
though All Contests Be
Settled On May 2

According to Attorney General
Dick Ervin, a second primary elec-
tion must be held in all counties on
May 23, even if all party nomina-
tions for public offices are settled
in the first primary May 2.
Reason for this is a change made
in the election laws at the last ses-
sion of the legislature providing for
election of candidates to such party
offices as member of the state, dis-
trict and county Democratic and
Republican executive committees
at the second primary.
The opinion was given to Clerk
W. P. Dodd of Franklin county by
Ervin, who said "it is to be re-
gretted that it is necessary to hold
a second primary this year solely
for the election of party officers.
. Nevertheless, the requirements
of the law are not to be disregarded
and there seems to be no legal per-
mission under the circumstances."
Dodd had written that Franklin
county could save $600 or $700 by
putting party office candidates on
the first primary ballot.
Since there will be no carry-over
races in Gulf county for the second
primary, this means t h at Gulf
county, too, will have to stage a
special election on May 23 for the
purpose of selecting Democratic
committeemen and committeewo-
men, none otf whom have any oppo-"
sition.

cated Wednesday, April 26, in prep-

a good ball game.

day, and they may be secured from

beautiful Easter service. school studentbody were inducted
A congregation that filled all the as charter members of the Delta


pews and available chair space in
the assembly hall and overflowed
into an adjacent class room and
into the entrance hall, where they
listened over a loud-speaker hook-
up, heard Rev. Loyd Tubb give a
beautiful sermon on "The Risen
Lord."
Hopefully anticipating a good at-
tendance, the steward body was
still uable to find seats for all, and
a number were forced to listen in
their cars parked close to the build-
ing. The fact that the nursery for
infants, which is under capable
hands during Sunday school and
church, is now completed, no doubt
had a part in the large attendance.
The choir, wearing white choral
smocks, presented a beautiful nuim-
ber, and Miss Patricia Laney gave
one of her touching and inspira-
tional solos, while Miss Howell at
the keyboard of the beautiful new
organ gave celestial symphonic ac-
companiment.
Such an overflowing attendance
was indeed a tribute to the Chris-
tian faith, not only of members of
the church, but those of other
faiths and out-of-town visitors who
attended.

devotional was given by Mrs. G. A.

Place In the Church." She brought
out the fact that talents differ and
that there is a place for every per-
son, no matter what his talent, in
the work of the church.
Mrs. R. W. Smith gave a talk on
"The Challenge of the Child," men-
tioning the grave responsibility of
parents and others for influencing
children and youth toward true
Christianity and the importance of
providing a Christian foundation on
which to build their lives according
to the requirements of their cir-

importance of example, and said
that when parents fail, it is usually
not in eloquence but in example.

Tyndall Flier Dies

As Plane Crashes

Accident Occurred Thursday
of Last Week Near
Wewahitchka
Lieut. Frank J. Karlowitch, 26,
was killed and the F-51, single-en-
gine, single-place Mustang fighter
plane he was piloting, was com-
pletely demolished in a crash west
of Wewahitchka Thursday after-
noon of last week.
Lieutenant Karlowitch, a resi-
dent of Nazareth, Pa., was on a
routine training flight when the ac-
cident occurred. He was due to
land at Tyndall Field about the
time of the crash, having been in
the air approximately three hours.
The crash, seen by a number of
motorists on the Panama City-We-
wahitchka road, was reported to
Tyndall by pilots of other aircraft
as well as by attendants of the fire
tower, near which it happened.
State highway patrolmen were at
the scene shortly after the plane
plowed into the ground and guarded
it until the arrival of a convoy from
the air base.
Cause of the crash is being in-
vestigated by a board of Tyndall,
officers.
* Karlowitch was adjutant and per-
sonnel officer of Tyndall's 3826th
Maintenance Squadron and had
been in the air force since 1941. He
was assigned to Tyndall last year,
reporting March 26.

PAID POLITICAL ADV. BY PEPPER FOR SENATOR HDQ., TALLAHASSEE

DOUBLE-TALK
Doesn't Pay Doctor Bills!
Claude Pepper's opponents have been doing a
lot of sounding off about what they call "socialized
medicine" in this campaign.
It's n6 good, they say,-- it's "socialized"-- to want to pro-
tect your life-savings by paying insurance when you're
well, to cover expenses when you're sick.
Is Government insurance that insures your bank
account "socialized banking"? Then what's
"socialized" about a plan that insures your health
-and does it at a fraction of the cost of any private
plan now in existence?
What's "socialized" about a plan that lets patients
choose their own doctors and doctors their own patients?
Well, the people of Florida know this kind
of double-talk doesn't make sense, or pay any
bills either. And they know Claude Pepper
is for National Health Insurance for the same
reason he is for all progressive legislation
because it does the most good for the
greatest number of people.

Our Country Right or Wrong

DEVELOP OUR DEEP-WATER PORTS
Florida, the most waterbound state in the
Union, has decided to rustle up new money from
a source that has been here all the time-its ports.
An all-out effort to develop the thirteen deep-
water ports is underway by a recently-organized
group-the Florida State Ports Association.
Figures show that ocean-going freighters with
costly cargoes are bringing a tremendous busi-
ness pickup to these thirteen ports which offer
every advantage to shipping on a full-time year-
round basis. Apd this gain is attributed mainly
to one thing, the mounting realization by manu-
facturers that from Florida it's a comparatively
short water run to Latin America and the West
Indies.
Port St. Joe, one of the thirteen deep-water
ports of the state, and in our opinion one of the
best and most accessible, particularly to manu-
facturers in the north central part of the nation,
has shown some increase in tonnage during the
past year or so, but it is the belief of business
men of the city that this tonnage could be in-
creased considerable if some effort were pu, into
the matter.

Do the taxpayers of Florida have to shoulder
the cost of another extra session of the legisla-
ture, at an estimated expenditure of $700,000,
not to mention a probable increase in the pres-
ent state sales tax, just because a group of hard-
headed, mulish politicians couldn't get together
on a workable revenue-raising plan?


CLAUDE IS IN TOUGH SPOT
With the senatorial race slipping into high as
both Pepper and Smathers continue to campaign
with heavy speaking schedules, it looks like the
fighting ex-marine from Miami is more than
holding his own against the Tallahassee veteran.
This is the first real campaign Pepper has ever
been called on to make. In 1938 he was re-elected
in the first primary over his four opponents, T.
C. Merchant, Dave Sholtz, Finley Moore and J.
Mark Wilcox, and in 1944, although he went to
the November general election, he easily de-
feated Miles Draper.
But today, the senator is in a tough spot and
he knows it. His hope rests in his ability to win
the old folk with promises of more and bigger
pensions, labor with pledges of higher maximum
pay, and the colored folks on civil rights. Pepper
supporters worked frantically to register every
possible voter in these groups, and apparently
made a good job of it if the extra heavy regis-
tration of negroes throughout the state is any
index. They are also counting strongly on the in-
difference and apathy of thousands of citizens
who might vote for Smathers if they went to the
polls, but who in the past have failed to do so.
Pushing his socialistic welfare state program
which calls for more and more government
spending to give more and more social benefits
and increased appropriations, Pepper makes no
mention of economy or hint of where the money
is coming from, hoping to snare the votes of all
who want something for nothing.
Claude is a wily old fox who knows all the
tricks, and from the looks of things, he's pulling
all the tricks he knows and is introducing a few
new ones.

A five billion dollar deficit is merely paper
work to Mr. Truman, the unsuccessful Missouri
haberdasher who could not somehow meet the
payroll or keep the doors open in a small store,
but who, through the peculiar operations of fate,
now professes to know how to run a country for
which :he recommends a- budget of more than
forty-two billions, ad anii operating loss of more
than five billions!-Enid (Okla.) News.

Too many people are thinking of security in-
stead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid
of life than death.

The standpatters are not so araoying as the
backpatters right now.

Do You Want To Cut

Your Federal Taxes?


Slash Government Cost

It your personal or business ex-
penses go up and your income and
efficiency come down this year at
the same rate as that of the Fed-
eral Government, you will be in the
hands of the sheriff at an early
date.
Workers, farmers, and business-
men from Maine to California know
this. The answer is in the Report
of the Commission on the Organi-
zation of the Executive Branch of
the Federal Government. This
twelve-man, bi-partisan Commission
was unanimously created by Con-
gress with the approval of the
President. At the suggestion of Mr.
Truman, former President Hoover
was made its Chairman and Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson, Vice
Chairman. The late president
Franklin D. Roosevelt long had ad-
vocated such a reorganization of
the government.
There is a two-fold purpose
behind the effort to reorganize the
Executive Branch of the Govern-
ment: One-the elimination of in-
efficiency caused by overlapping
and duplication; two-this should
lead to a reduction of your taxes.
If our Government can save from
three to four billion dollars a year
by more efficient methods of con-
ducting our business, failure to act
is stupid short-sightedness.
Action, however, depends upon
the President and Congress. The
President has already submitted a
number of reorganization recom-
mendations. The Congress has
adopted several of these, most im-
portant having to do with the
housekeeping of the armm'd forces,
which save the taxpayer more than
$500,000,000 a year. But these are
only first steps. There will be more
ahead if Congress is made to realize
Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer want more
tax-saving economies. Congressmen
and Senators will vote for just so
many of the Commission's recom-
mendation as you, their consti-
tuents, demand.
What can you, as an individual,
'do about it? The answer is to write
your Congressman and :Senators.
Tell them you want the Recommen-
dations of the Commission on the
Organization of the Executive
Branch of the Federal Government
made the law of the land.

the Port St. Joe city hall last Fri-

from six to eight, the two addi-

chee were present at the meeting
and made oral application to join
the league, but were turned down
on the grounds that 10 teams would
make the setup too cumbersome.
Both of these cities had been in-
vited previousIl to join, but had
refused.
Teams now in the league, which
opens Sunday, April 30, are Port

on to select congressmen, senators
and representatives in your state
legislature, s t at e railroad a n d
public utilities commissioners and
many minor officials.
A large percentage of the folks
who registered to vote May 2 did
so with but one thought in mind,
the- Pepper-Smathers race. A clear
example of this came to my atten-
tion when a friend came to me with
a dummy ballot and asked "why it
had all those other names on it,
and what did they mean?"
I explained that the "other"
names were those of candidates
running for other offices-for con-
gress, the state legislature, railroad
and public utilities commission, etc.
"But they are just names," my
friend said. "I don't know a single
one of these people or the jobs they
are seeking, so how can I vote in-
telligently?"
"You can't," I admitted, "unless
you are willing to acquaint your-
self with your government and its
functions and then consider care-
fully the qualifications of the vari-
ous candidates' who are offering for
each post." .
It happened that this friend had
been doing a lot of squawking about
the sales tax. I explained that it
was the legislature that passed the
law creating, the sales tax, and
hinted that the next legislature
would probably broaden it and per-
haps add other forms of taxes as
well. "If you are smart," I said, "you
will make it a point to learn all you
can about the men who want you to
send them to Tallahassee to repre-
sent you in the next legislature."
Then he'asked what the railroad
and public utilities commission was
and wanted to knqw how it affected
him. He did not have the slightest
idea how the commission functioned.
I explained that its actions af-
fected him plenty. I pointed out that
this particular commission had su-
pervision over the operation of rail-
roads, bus lines, telephones, taxis
operating inter-city, toll bridges,
and could authorize the discontinu-
ance of service, set rates and
specify the type of service that
must. be provided.
He was amazed. He dimly under-
stood that somebody, somewhere
had something to do with such mat-
ters but was not aware of the fact
that he, as a private citizen, had
anything to say about it. "You
mean," he asked, "that one of these
guys listed here, if elected, can say
how much I pay for telephone serv-
ice or a bus ticket?"
"Not only that," I said, "he can
order- your telephone discontinued
if you use it contrary to his ruling,
or he can determine the route of
the bus you ride and might elimi-
nate the particular town you desire
to reach. In short, he represents
you on the commission and his
sworn duty is to protect your inter-
est along with the interest of the
state and all the people."
"Holy jumping grasshoppers," he
exclaimed, "and I wasn't even plan-
ning to bother my head about vot-
ing for any of them; all I expected
to do was vote in the senate race
and let it go at that."
And this fellow wasn't dumb. He
was a pretty sound sort of citizen.


probably wouldn't have registered
to vote this year if he hadn't be-
come interested in the Smathers-
Pepper fight and decided to have
something to say about that.
But he is plenty interested now,
and plans to attend eiery rally and
personally meet as many of the
candidates as he can. I think that
when election day rolls around he
will know what the score is and be
in a position to express himself in-
telligently.
How about YOU and your VOTE?
