that the local chapter stands ready

out the best available medical care
due to lack of funds. The average

When the first steam locomotive
in Florida made her trial run over
the tracks of the St. Joseph-Lake
Wimico Railroad Co. on September
5, 1836, and traveled the eight miles
from Lake Wimico to St. Joseph in
the incredible time of 25 minutes, a
new era in transportation was be-
gun in the territory of Florida (the
state did not join the Union until
1845).

run seated in the 12 cars, were
amazed to be traveling at the fast

This fear arose due to action of
a commercial house, Panton, Leslie
& Company, which started action
in the Florida territory when Eng-
land had possession between 1763
and 1784. Later, when Spain con-
trolled it, this company had gained
permission to purchase a huge tract
of land in middle Florida from the
Indians in order to compensate for
losses suffered by the company.

Poppies On Sale

In City Tomorrow

Ladies of American Legion Auxili-
ary Will Sell Paper Flowers for
Benefit of Disabled Veterans

Tomorrow is Poppy Day in Port
St. Joe and, as usual, the ladies of
the American Legion Auxiliary will
conduct their annual poppy sale.
The little red paper flowers the
ladies will sell on the streets to-
morrow were made by disabled vet-
erans in various hospitals. They
will receive in return a part of the
receipts from the sale of the pop-
pies. Contrary to general belief, all
veterans in hospitals do not receive
pensions, and in many cases the
money they receive from the sale of
poppies is about all they get, out-
side the bare necessities of life.
So, as you pass along the streets
tomorrow, we feel sure you will be
asked to buy a poppy. There is no
set price for the small paper flower
-you merely give what you wish.
We hope you feel liberal to the
cause of the disabled veterans and
will contribute generously. Regard-
less of whether your offering be
large or small, buy your. poppy to-
morrow and wear it proudly.
The poppy sale committee of the
Legion Auxiliary is made up of
Mrs. Mamie Wall, chairman, Mrs.
Anne Hart, Mrs. Nadine Hardy,
Mrs. Madaliene Whitaker, Mrs. An-
nie Cook, Mrs. Vera Collier, Mrs. B.
H. Dickens, Mrs. Eva Lovett, Mrs.
Ruby Pridgeon and Mrs. Estelle
Mosely.

Our Country --." Right or Wrong

OUR HERO DEAD
There are debts that can be honored, but never
paid in full. Of such is the nation's debt to its
departed heroes, which we attempt in a small
way each year to acknowledge. We may honor
their memory, but caln never discharge our obli-
gation to them for their heroism and their pa-
triotism.
What we have and are we owe in large meas-
ure to the brave souls who gave their lives that
we might live a free and unfettered people. Their
service was no greater, however, than the inspira-
tion they furnished. Each has contributed equally
to our advancement as a nation.
Their lips are stilled, and yet they are not si-
lent. The dead have left a message for the living,
and the message is that we keep intact the glor-
ious heritage they fought to preserve.
We know not what the dead may see or hear
or think, but of this we may be certain-that if
they are observers of the living, they will take
more account of the high resolve within our souls
than of the flowers we may strew upon their
graves.
It is a beautiful spirit that moves the living to
,decorate the graves of the dead. It is recogni-
tion that the speech of flowers is more eloquent
of the heart than any flowery phrases that the
lips may utter, but our tribute must not be in
flowers alone. It must be in deeds and service
unselfish enough to be a tribute to those we
-honor. Flowers are the language given us to re-
veal our hearts, and the smallest spray placed on
the humblest grave will bear its message-but a
mere message is not enough.
As we, the most dynamic people of all time,
:give pause next Tuesday in the feverish haste of
,our swiftly moving lives to pay homage to the
departed, we should rededicate ourselves to the
perpetuation of that for which they sacrificed.
Wherever a grave is marked it will be decor-
ated, and for those who sleep somewhere be-
-neath the waves, the waters will be strewn with
flowers.
No matter where they fell-on land, at sea, or
in the air-the nation's heroes should and will be
shown some sign next Tuesday that they are not
forgotten. But we, too, must not forget our 6'wn
duty to ourselves, to our children and to our
nation.

-Until the American people realize how costly
it is for the government to do things, and begin
to refuse the largess, subsidies, etc., offered by
the government, we cannot expect much reduc-
tion in government expenses. Arcadia (La.)
Bienville Democrat.

RETAILERS ARE THE VICTIMS
A spokesman for the National Retail Dry
Goods Association, one of the biggest retail as-
sociations in the country, recently said that "re-
tailers are being made the victims of an intoler-
able situation resulting from delays in final gov-
ernment action to eliminate excise taxes. Stores
ar.. suffering .,iju sales, l]>snc on eici.,--taxed
merchandise, and the losses are mounting daily."
Port St. Joe merchants have found in many in-
stances.that prospective purchasers of taxed mer-
chandise are postponing their buying in the hope
that the taxes will be repealed, and the same
thing is happening all over the nation. And in
the meantime, the retailers are not the only ones
who are adversely affected. Production is down
in the factories which produce the goods-and
employment suffers accordingly.
These excise taxes were 100 per cent war meas-
ures. It was widely said-and believed-that they
would be promptly repealed when the war
ended. Yet they are going on and on, years after
the last shot was fired. They apply to many vir-
tual necessities-transportation tickets, baby oil,
cosmetics, inexpensive as well as costly jewelry
and watches, and so on. Each time we buy one
of the taxed items or services, we must pay up to
20 per cent more than the normal purchase price
because of this levy.
Congress at last, but slowly, is getting around
to doing something about it. Some congressmen
feel that the taxes should be reduced by about
half. However, elementary justice demands their
total repeal-to the benefit of everyone.
Your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman
says he will veto any measure passed by con-
gress to repeal these taxes unless a companion
measure is passed to make up the tax loss from
some other source. He apparently has to have the
money to keep the thousands of extra workers
(votes) on the federal payroll and to pay for his
"non-political" tours about the nation.

Information obtained from the
postoffice department at Washing-
ton, D. C., on the first postoffice in
old St. Joseph indicates that service
was started in 1835.
Records show that the postoffice
of St. Joseph. Franklin county (this
section was then a part of Franklin
county), was established December
28, 1835, with James Black as post-
master, and received its earliest
mail service twice a week by stage
from Marianna, Jackson county. J.
M. Harris was the contractor for
delivery of the mail.
The earliest available figures on
the St. Joseph postoffice show that
net receipts for the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1841, amounted to the
large sum of $623.56.
Although the date of change is
not shown in records of the de-
partment, the office was listed as
being in Calhoun county on May 9,
1842, when Janette Gibson was ap-
pointed postmaster.
Others serving as postmaster in-
clude. James P. Penn, date of ap-
pointment September 23. 1843, and
Nebemiah Hayden, appointed Janu-
ary 31, 1845.
The office was discontinued on
March 28, 1854, a few years after
the yellow fever epidemic, which
virtually wiped out the entire pop-
ulation, and the hurricane which de-
stroyed most of the buildings of
the once populous city that almost
became the capital of Florida.

0- cola river from Georgia and Ala- '
s bama, have it transferred from the
r- river steamers to boats and car-
s- ried on to St. Joseph where it would
g be loaded on ocean-going vessels
e and shipped to New England ports
e and to England for manufacture.
t- An unusual incident in this pro-
i- motion, scheme is that the canal
was not'built at this time, but plans
drawn for a railroad to be built by
the canal company. With laborers
and materials being rushed from
adjoining states, and with storage
houses and a wharf on the lake and
on the bay at the new town of St.
Joseph being built, the formal open-
ing of the road took place during
late summer of 1836, since the fol-
lowing article appeared in Georgia
and Florida papers during the first
week of September:
LOCOMOTIVES IN FLORIDA
On Monday, the 5th inst, a Loco-
motive drawing a train of 12 cars
containing upwards of 300 passen-
gers, passed over the railroad con-
necting the flourishing town of St.
Joseph with the Apalachicola River.
The trip, a distance of eight miles,
was performed in the short space
of 25 minutes. The engineer is con-
fident, from the superiority of the
road and engine, that the route can
be accomplished in eight minutes.
It was soon realized by the pro-
moters of this railroad project that
certain disadvantages made it ad-
visable to construct a second road.
In order to further combat the ri-
val seaport and river town of Ap-
alachicola in the struggle for the
cotton and merchandise trade of
the river regions above, and to be
free from the expensive work of
keeping Lake Wimico dredged suf-
ficiently to allow boats to come all
;he way to the railroad wharf, plans
for the second road were begun in
1837.
Proposals were to build the new
road from St. Joseph to a place on
the Apalachicola River known as
Tennessee Bluff. This was later to
be known as lola, which was incor-
porated as a town on February 27,
1840, according to Dr. Dorothy
Dodd, historian of the Florida State
Liorrjy in Tallahiassctf.
Tli- new rail terl4inds was.just
.above the present town of Wewa-
hitchka, a distance of 28 miles from
St. Joseph, while being almost 70
miles from Apalachicola. This would
cut the distance considerably from
the cotton shipping centers in Ala-
bama and Georgia arid hence speed
lip the trade.
With the new road .still not com-
pleted during 1837 38, the older
shipping town of Apalachicola re-
tained her supremacy by shipping
approximately 50,000;bales of cot-
ton against 30,000 by St. Joseph.
Opening on the approximate date
of October 15, 1839, this new rail--
road to Iola had called for heavy
financial expenditures of over $300,-
000. With the panic which hit the
entire United States in 1837, and
with the money speiit on erecting
wharves and warehouses, construct-
ing approximately 36 miles of rail-
roads in the two projects, purchas-
ing at least three locomotives, and
with other expenditures, promoters
of the new town were soon to see
their visions fade.
When it was learned that the
western Georgia cotton belt was
soon to be connected with the At-
lantic by rail, this seemed to be
the one clinching argument that the
railroad project would fail. With
freight rates having to be lowered
to compete with the Apalachicola
interests and with other factors, the
investments were losing instead of
paying off.
One of the final strokes of the
hand of fate was the almost com-
plete decimation of the town's
population by an epidemic of yellow
fever in 1841, which sealed the
doom of the railroads- which were
started just five short years before
in the grandest of expectations but
ended just as fast.

To Come Home for Holidays
Mrs. Ethel Westbrook and Mrs.
W. M. Howell expect to leave Sun-
Sday for Marion, Ala., to bring Miss
SNorma Jean Lewis, student at Jud-
son College, home for the holidays.
