JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1950 NUMBER 34 Hospital Economy Move Discussed By Commission Proposal Made To Cut New Superintendent's Salary From $400 To $300 The matter of cutting costs at the municipal hospital in the interest of 'economy, recently inaugurated by the city commission, was brought to their attention forcibly Tuesday night when several employes of the institution appeared before them wanting to know why they had been discharged without cause and were being replaced by persons from out- -side the city. Silas Stone brought the matter before the board, with Paul Turn- age acting as spokesman for the group. Stone had Clerk Ben Dickens read- a resolution passed in April 1948 which said that "all people em- Ap*. 04- -H NIPA% 00 0 4 0 9 *S1 S0 AI CitySt. Joe ToGet PROCLAMATION Second New Well PROCLAMATION Whereas, Saturday, May 27th, At Bargain Price has been designated as National ,t arguing Prie Poppy Day in commemoration of With Tools On Ground, Ar- tesian Well Co. Will Do Job At Half Cost Representatives of the Gray Ar- tesian Well Company, which had the job of sinking the city's new wa- ter well on Long Avenue, appeared before the city commission Tues- day night to announce that their job had been completed and that the city of Port St. Joe now had a fine well with a plentiful supply of water containing considerably less iron than the present supply. The well, put down to a depth of 415 feet and cased off to a depth of 170 feet, pumped about 320 gallons per minute on a test without lower- ing the head. Acceptance of the well by the city will be made after played at the hospital shall be resi- final reports on tests of the water dents of the city as far as possible." are received from the state board Mrs. Mary Babb, recently brought in to act as superintendent of the hospital, is doing the discharging and hiring without consulting the commission, it was brought out. Mayor Jake Belin stated that Mrs. Babb was "placed in authority by the commission and is responsible only to the commission, and is sub- ject to discharge upon :two weeks' notice. So far as I know she has done a commendable job and I hope to see her remain in charge." Commissioner Sol' Shirey chimed in with "I was the one suggesting that cuts be made in operation of the hospital, but I don't believe we should lay off those we know and have them replaced by outsiders." Figures presented by Clerk Dick- ens showed that the hospital went into the red last year to the tune of $23,023.63, of which $11,000 was in bad debts contracted from 1943 to 1948, and that the loss in the first four months of 1949 amounted to $6,032.94. During presentation of these figures, it was brought out that Mrs. Babb as superintendent was receiving $400 per month as against $300 a month paid to the previous superintendent. Upon commenting on the figures, (Continued on page 10) National Hospital Day Is Observed Locally A silver tea and open house was held at the Port St. Joe Municipal Hospital,last Friday in observance of National Hospital Day. Mrs. Lee Graham Jr., served as chairman for the affair and members of the Hos- pital Auxiliary acted as hostesses. The beautiful flowers used through- out the hospital were arranged by Mrs. Herbert Brown and Mrs. Mas- sey Ward. Proceeds from the tea will be used to purchase equipment needed for the comfort of patients. Callers were greeted by Mrs. J. C. Belin, Mrs. Harry Saunders, Mrs. B. E. Kenney and Mrs. Graham. Acting as guides through the hos- pital were Mrs. B. E. Kenney Jr., Mrs. J. Lamar Miller and Mrs. C. G. Costin. Punch and cookies were served on the sun porch by Mrs. A. of health. Mr. Gray and his son suggested that rather than try to put one of the old wells back into condition that they be given the job of sink- ing a second new well, offering to do the job for considerably less than the cost of the first well, as they had their equipment on the ground. Cost of the first well was $6,282, and Mr. Gray was of the opinion he could sink a second well for about $2,800 if he were allowed to case off at 140 feet, which would elimi- nate about 100 feet of deeper drill- ing. The matter was discussed at con- siderable length, with Commis- sioner I. C. Nedley stating that the city would be missing the chance of a lifetime by not taking the second well at the price offered. The mo- tion to accept Mr. Gray's offer car- ried by a vote of four to one, Com- missioner B. B. Conklin casting the lone "nay."

Study Meet Rev. Lee Graham, rector of St. James' Episcopal Church, was the instructor for a class in mental health sponsored by the study group of the Parent-Teacher Association last week. The text used was "The Mature Mind," by H. A. Overstreet. The maturity concept was dis- cussed at length, with class partici- pation, and the consensus of con- sidered opinions was that most of our present-day influences are to- ward immaturity, but that the ma- turing of the mind should be of great concern to every individual, and of prime importance to parents. The responsibility of parents to- ward their children in this respect was emphasized, as well as their responsibility for educating their children along academic lines. "If the author-had substituted the word 'Christianity' for the word 'maturity' and the word 'sin' for the word 'immaturity'," said Rev. Graham during the course of the study, "it would seem that his dis- course would be along the lines of Christian precepts as taught in our Christian churches." -- SAINTS DROP WEDNESDAY GAME TO APALACHICOLA The St. Joe Saints trekked to Ap- alachicola Wednesday night where they lost the ball game by a score of 5 to 4. This was 'the first official game between the two teams, since the Oystermen protested the game played here April 30 in which they were defeated 18-6, and the game will be replayed at a later date, ac- cording to a ruling of league offi- cials. Sunday's game at Blounts- town was rained out. Next Sunday, Tallahassee plays here, and the following Wednesday the Saints go to Panama City. -----^------- Having Fine Time, Writes Doc The editor has received a card from 0. M.

Lewis (nee Miss Josephine Grimsley) of Miami announce the arrival of a son on Monday, May 15. At the regular meeting of the board of county commissioners of Gulf county the members went on record unanimously as being op- posed to moving the state tubercu- losis sanitorium now located at Marianna to a proposed site in Tal- lahassee. The resolution was passed at the request of Clyde Mayhall, attorney for the board of county commis- sioners of Jackson county, and J. K. Powell, member of the board, who appeared before the Gulf board and told of the possibility of the state moving the sanitorium to Tal- lahassee or some other location. The resolution, as passed by the board, follows: Whereas, it has been brought to our attention that Tallahassee may be considered as the site for the es- tablishment of the new Northwest Florida Tuberculosis Sanitorium; and, Whereas, such sanitorium, on a temporary basis, has been very sat- isfactorily operated at Marianna since about September 1, 1946; and, Whereas, it appears that Mari- anna is far more ideally situated than is Tallahassee for the site of the new sanitorium in that it is much nearer, more accessible and can be reached far easier and at less expense by the residents of this area, and by local patients who are now being given tubercular treatment, as well as by those who may hereafter find it necessary to report for such treatment; and, Whereas, certain sewerage, utili- ties and other installations already owned by the state tuberculosis board at Marianna are available there for immediate use in connec- tion with the new sanitorium to be constructed, and by their use it is estimated that at least $500,000 will be saved to the taxpayers of Flor- ida and the nation if such sanitor- ium is located at Marianna rather than Tallahassee; and, Whereas, there appears to be no sound reason either in the interest of the residents of West Florida, the taxpayers of the state and na- tion or the patients to be treated, for changing the location of the Northwest Florida tuberculosis san- itorium from Marianna to Talla- (Continued on page 5) Episcopalian Men Meet At Camp Weed In case you don't see them around this week-end, it is because the men of St. James' Church have gone to Camp Weed on St. James' Island for the annual Episcopal lay- men's conference.

This veteran master and pilot retired from river work in 1928 after a col- orful period of service. Being master of the "Callahan" when she went down, he recalls the crew of the boat as being composed of about 35 men. In addition to the captain there was the mate, two pilots, two engineers, one clerk, a purser, a fireman, watchman, stew- ard and assistants, and about 20 roustabouts who loaded and un- loaded the boat at the various land- ings. With rich and full experiences, this veteran pilot gave as probably his most thrilling moments the time he boat would leave Apalachicola for the return trip up the river. At this time the deck of the steamer would many times be crowded with the happy and noisy men who had gone down the river on rafts of timber and were now returning to their homes to make ready for an- other trip. Directly above the deck would be the regular passengers who were riding in more style, as the cabin fare was higher and in- cluded meals and other services. Many of the steamers, and especi- ally the "Callahan," would have in- cluded in the passenger list groups of people from Columbus and other places who had formed parties and had made the excursion down the river.

Our Country Right or Wrong WE LIVE ON CREDIT We had intended to editorialize a bit on our municipal hospital this week, and the mess it is in due to the fact that there is a considerable amount on the books which patients have failed to pay. However, since the matter was to come up at the city commission Tuesday night and this is being written Monday, we will discourse on the matter some other time. And that bring to our mind the matter of credit-which is what a lot of people get at the hospital when they haven't the wherewithal to pay what they owe at that institution. Credit keps the wheels of commerce and industry turn- ing. We know, because many times we order pa- per from the paper supply house and sell it in printed form before we pay for it, thus paying for the paper and making our bit of profit before the paper supply house gets theirs. When you come to think of it, relatively few business, transactions involve the immediate use of cash, unless it's a cash and carry grocery, a dime store or some such institution-and even in these places, if you've got an honest face, you can get credit. When you make a call over the lines of the St. Joseph Telephone Company and its affiliates, when you buy a new car or a used one from Charlie Garraway, Otto Anderson, C. A.

Mr. Carter stated plans call for an 18-hole course, a clubhouse, private residences, pier for yacht anchorage on the bay side of the peninsula and a fishing pier on the Gulf side, together with a boulevard to connect with Highway 10 at Dead Man's Curve.

Home Repair Outlays In County To Reaci Huge Total In 1950 Gulf county home owners will spend an estimated $219,000 on re- pair and modernization of non-farm dwellings during 1950, according to estimates by the Tile Council of America. Approximately two of every five homes in this section will be re- decorated, either inside or out, dur- ing the year, the report showed. Roofs will be repaired or replaced on one of every six, and six of every 100 are due for carpentry work. Seven of every 100 homes will have plumbing repaired, bathroom tiled or showers installed, the re- port said. Miscellaneous interior re- pairs will be made in six of every 100 dvjellings. Home repairs will be easier on the 1950 family budget because of a decline of more than 5 per cent in wholesale costs of building ma- terials, in comparison with prices at the beginning' of 1949, the re- port said. l -- K -- The world's largest hotel is the Stevens in Chicago.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Hospital Care Given 635 Crippled Children *Co-operation of Mrs. duPont and State Commission Made Treatment Possible In the period of the 14 months ending December 31, 1949, over 23,- '000 hospital patient days were pro- vided for approximately 635 crippled children in Florida for whom no previous hospitalization had been possible. This was brought about by the co-operation between Mrs. Alfred I. duPont and the Nemours Foundation for Crippled Children on the one hand and the crippled children's commission and the Flor- ida children's commission on the other. These 635 Florida children were hospitalized in 13 Florida hospitals. An additional number of Florida crippled children are being treated at the Alfred I. duPont Institute in Wilmington, Del. The funds appropriated by the state legislature, the federal gov- ernment and other sources for the treatment of Florida crippled chil- dren have never been sufficient to take care of the total load, and Mrs. duPont decided to make funds for this purpose available, provided working arrangements could be made with the Florida Crippled *Children's Commission and other state agencies whereby a sound plan could be carried on. It was understood and agreed that money which was thus furnished should not be construed as taking the place of or supplanting money which the crippled children are. re- ceiving from state or federal gov- ernments or other sources. Mrs. du- Pont's main purpose was to try to take care of the hundreds of crip- pled children in Florida for whom no financial provision had been made.

Also, the research facili ties of the institute are made fully available to the commissions, the doctors and all other Florida agen- cies who have to do with the hos- pitalization and treatment of crip- pled children. ------K------- KEEP YOUR SPEED DOWN, SAYS HIGHWAY PATROL A new state safety council op- erating on a $20,000 release from the state treasury has been author- ized by the cabinet after listening to a report from the national safety council that 107 more persons were killed on Florida highways through March of this year than in the same period a year before. - Further, the highway patrol was instructed to stop motorists driving I more than 60 miles an hour in the daytime or 50 at night, and give them warnings. If the patrol catches you doing 75 miles an hour in the daytime or 65 at night, the charge will be reck- less driving. The state has no speed limit.
