Garden Club Members

Hear Interesting Talk

On Home Landscaping

Horticultural Expert Gives Pointers
and Recommendations-for
This Locality

By MRS. MILTON CHAFIN
The general meeting of the Port
St. Joe Garden Club held Thursday
of last week in the sunroom of Ho-
tel St. Joe was well attended when
members and visitors heard H. C.
Martin, horticulturist, and -superin-
tenident of grounds at Florida State
'University, Tallahassee, speak on
"Landscaping Your Home."
Martin emphasized that planting
should enhance the architectural
beauty of the home, and that any-
one contemplating yard landscap-
ing should by all means have a def-
inite plan -- drawn'uiip either by
themselves or a landscape architect
-to work toward.
The speaker pointed out that all
yards should be divided into three
sections-the front ,or public area,
which he felt should be left unclut-
tered; the service area, which is
,generally the smallest 'and well-
sections-the front, or public area,
which should be the largest, since
it is designed to be used for out-
door living.
During the course of his talk, Mr.
Martin pointed out that gardening
is a year 'round job, and he also
stated that centipede grass is best
for the soil in Port St. Joe.
,Mrs. J. C. Arbogast, vice-presi-
dent, presided at the meeting and
presented the president's message
for October. which gave plans of
the Garden Club for the remainder
of .he.y ear.
The message stated that the club
will assist the Port St. Joe: Wom-
an's Club in the project of beautify-
ing the grounds of the new high
school.
During the brief business session
following Mr. Martin's talk, the con-
stitution of the club was adopted
and the meeting was then turned
over to Roy Hallman, who showed
beautiful picture slides taken of the
recent flower show. He also ex-
hibited interesting pictures of birds
.and their nests.
Hostesses for the meeting were
Mrs. I. C. Nedley, Mrs. G. F. Law-
rence, Mrs. Donald Birath and Mrs.
J. C. Belin, who served frosted colas
with dainty plates of sandwiches,
4,candy and nuts.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

With increasing knowledge of
plant requirements and scientific
methods of soil testing, modern
gardening is a far cry from the old
hit-or-miss method. Soil is the most
important factor in the horticul-
tural picture. It seems that plants,
like humans, require a balanced
diet. Nitrogen, phosphorus and pot-
ash are three of the main mineral
elements which have been found to
be most universally deficient in the
soil. These ingredients are found in
commercial fertilizers. There are
also small amounts of other min-
erals which are essential to plant
growth. Copper, manganese and
zinc are three of these which are
often missing in Florida soils.
By adding fertilizer haphazardly,
you may be harming your 'garden
rather than improving it. Continual
soil testing throughout the season
is vitally important so that lacking
elements may be added when they
are needed. Nitrogen is for growth;
phosphate gives strength to roots
at planting time; potash increases
flowers and fruits. The numbers on
commercial fertilizer labels show
the proportion of nitrogen, phos-
phate and potash in this order. A
fertilizer with the label 4-7-5 is
usually best for flowers and lawns;
one with 4-8-6 for flowers, and 4-8-8
for fruits and bulbs.
The Garden Club now has a Sud-
bury soil testing kit which can help
you determine what fertilizers to
supply. The acidity of the soil can
also be tested with this kit. You
will find it at the library in the city
hall, and the charge for its use is
25c for one week. The library is
open Tuesdays and Fridays from 4
to 5 p. m. Both the general public
as well as Garden Club members
may use this soil testing kit.
State School Enrollment Increases
Common schools in Florida have
opened with a 40,000 increase over
the previous year. Nearly half a
million children entered the schools
this year, about 10% more than
last year.
Holland was the home of free-
dom of the press in the early 16th
century.,


Governor Warren Sets

Thank'sgiving this year will fall

day in the month of the turkey fes-

ernor Warren, follewiln an act of

Our Country Right or Wrong

WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR NEIGHBORS
Reprinted from The Chattahoochee News
An easy but unprofitable thing to do is to be-
come so engrossed in our own affairs that we fail
to observe what our neighbors are doing. We are
of the opinion that great benefits can be derived
from an occasional survey of what other people
are accomplishing. With this thought in mind,
we have compiled the following list of projects
which are now underway in various towns in
this area:
Bainbridge has joined the increasing number
of cities engaged in blood-typing projects. The
all-out effort to enlist every person in the com-
munity is sparked by the Pilot Club of that city,
and the project is expected to become county-
wide.
In Port St. Joe, the Garden Club is planning a
"Yard Improvement Contest" to run from Octo-
ber 1 to May 1. The contest is open to anyone


and three cash prizes will be awarded winners.
The Garden Club will carry out an educational
program concurrent with the contest. Helpful
literature on gardening and related subjects is
available at the library.
This week has been proclaimed "Clean-Up
Week" in Havana, and all property owners are
urged to co-operate in getting rid of weeds and
tall grasses on right-of-ways and properties. The
clean-up is designed as a sanitary and road
safety measure, in addition to improving the ap-
pearance of the town.
The Quincy Chamber of Commerc is to be
commended for its outstanding success in an an-
nual membership drive. The chamber members
collected $6,515 in a single day, following a kick-
off breakfast.
A group of DeFuniak Springs business men
have expressed their willingness to co-operate on
a housing project in that area by investing from
$1000 to $5000 each in such a project. Their im-
mediate goal is the construction of 50 houses.

HE LIKES OUR ARTICLE
Editor L. E. Sellers of the Washington County
News at Chipley liked our recent article on pub-
liicity releases so well that he reprinted it in full
with the following comment:
"Every editor-there are no exceptions to this
-is weekly subjected to the trumpetings, cater-
waulings, cock-a-doodle-doos, croakings, boast-
ings, tub-thumping, and pleas of a host of out-
siders. We mean to make ourselves clear at once
by saying that when people at home trumpet,
caterwaul, crow, croak, boast, blow their gourds,
or, in short, have anything at all to say, that's
generally news.
"But the assorted writings that come from Tal-
lahassee, Washington, Schenectady, and other
political and industrial centers, may or may not
be news. It all depends on whether they have


anything to say that would interest
people at home.
"One of the best commentaries
on this. weekly influx appears in W.
S. Smith's Port St. Joe Star, a
sharply edited little organ that is
made in Port St. Joe from one end
to the other.
"We reprint Editor Smith's piece,
with the added notation that as we
read it we felt we had been alonb
the same road ourselves many
times."

Ervin Rules On Cross-Burning
Attorney General R. W. Ervin
has ruled that cities may have or-
dinances prohibiting masking in
public, and that it is a trespass to
burn a cross on another's property
without his consent.


Draft Is Likely To
Skip Older Men

Men 26 to 35 probably will not be
drafted in the "foreseeable future"
and men over 35 probably will not
be called at all, said Col. Daniel 0.
Omer, general counsel of the selec-
tive service system.
He stated that men in the 19-
through-25 age group, including vet-
erans of World War II, should bet
called in the draft before any older
or younger men are summoned.
He also urged stricter occupa-
tional deferments for men in the
19-25 group, and said the army may
lower its physical, mental and moral.
standards for them.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

Dear Mr. Smith-Please accept
my congratulations upon achieve-
ment of your Fourteenth Volume,
Number One.
Through the vicissitudes of the
13 years since your beginning, you
have conducted an excellent paper,
both newswise and editorially. You
have done well your part in con-
tributing to the continued well-be-
ing and prosperity of Port St. Joe.
The article in your September 29
issue, titled "Interesting Data Pre-
sented On St. Joe Bay Dredging,"
and the quotations contained there-
in from the U. S. Army Engineers,
should be very inspiring to the
young people and all the well-wish-
ers of St. Joe because it indicates
unquestionably that our harbor will
be second to none in the United
States before long. This factor
alone should attract substantial new
businesses'to our town.

F OR YOU AND THE MAN NEXT DOOR?


RUNNING AMERICA is the joint job of 150,000,000 people. It's the biggest job in the world today
-keeping it running for liberty and for freedom. And the whole world's watching to see
whether Americans can do it!

IN MUCH OF THE WORLD today, the people have resigned from running their own countries.
Others have been quick to step in-first with promises of "security'"-and then with whips
and guns-to run things their way. The evidence is on every frontpage in the world, every day.


FREEDOM COMES UNDER ATTACK. The reality of war has
made'every American think hard about the things he's willing to work
and fight for-and freedom leads the list.

But that freedom has been attacked here recently-just
as it has been attacked in other parts of the world. One
of the most serious threats to individual freedom has
been the threat of Government-dominated Compulsory
Health Insurance, falsely presented as a new guarantee
of health "security" for everybody.

THE PEOPLE WEIGH THE FACTS. In the American manner, the
people studied the case for Socialized Medicine-and the case against it.

They found that Government domination of the people's medical
affairs under Compulsory Health Insurance means lower standards
of medical care, higher payroll taxes, loss of incentive, damage to
research, penalties for the provident, rewards for the improvident.

They found that no country on earth can surpass Amer-
ica's leadership in medical care and progress. They
found that able doctors, teachers, nurses and scientists
-working in laboratories where Science, not Politics, is
master-are blazing dramatic new trails to health for
Americans-and for the world.

THE "GRASS ROOTS" SIGNALS CONGRESS. In every com-
munity in the Nation, people stood up to be counted on this im-
portant issue. Thousands of local women's clubs, civic groups, farm,
business, religious, taxpayer, medical, educational and patriotic organ-


izations spoke out-giving the great United States Congress its
unmistakable Grass Roots signal from home!

And ever watchful, ever sensitive to an alert people,
The Congress saw that signal, and heard the people
speak out, loud and plain. That's democracy in action.
That's the American way!

Today among the 10,000 great organizations on militant public
record against "Compulsory Health Insurance" are:


General Federation of
Women's Clubs
American Farm Bureau
Federation
National Grange
Veterans of Foreign Wars
National Conference of
Catholic Charities
American Protestant
Hospital Association


American Legion
National Association of
Small Business Men
United States Chamber of
Commerce
National Association of
Retail Grocers
National Retail Dry Goods
Association
American Bar Association


* Doctors of this Nation are grateful that the people
refused to be wooed by the fantastic promises of this
un-American excursion into State Socialism. Doctors
of America are dedicated to serve their fellow citizens
at home and their comrades in uniform, wherever serv.
ice to this Nation may take them. And the thing they
stand ready to fight for-to sacrifice for-to die for-is
not the alien way of life of Socialism, but the prideful
security of a free and self-reliant people!


THE VOLUNTARY WAY IS THE AMERICAN WAY!
* Throughout the Nation, free men nd women, working and planning in America-70 million people are protected by Voluntary Health Insur-
together, are finding the American answer to every question of medical ance! Throughout the Nation, families are insuring themselves against

FLORIDA


Our own Florida, long unrivaled
in agriculture, tourism and beauty,
now makes a bid as the "Fashion
Center" of the nation. The ultimate
achievement of this goal is being
striven for by the Miami Fashion
Council.
At their fashion market in Miami
last week, the council brought out
a line of Florida fashions which will
make their position of "Fashion
Empire" a sure thing. The 47 Flor-
ida manufacturers who are repre-
sented in the council brought into
focus styles and price ranges to fit
any occasion or budget.
For those of us who must plan a
wardrobe with a watchful eye on
the budget, the council has made
possible clothes w it h originality,
style and real Florida flavor. Queen
Cotton reigned supreme-she came
as sophisticated satin cotton, pros-
pector cloth, pima broadcloth, terry
cloth, pique, puckered sheer, and
even the more exotic fabrics have
emerged washable and completely
practical for semi-tropical living.
Even if we have full realization
of what the Miami fashion council
is achieving in the play clothes line
it is amazing to see the complete
line of children's wear, suits and
men's wear that are home products.
The formal attire, although Flor-
ida-created, had the "Paris in-
spired" appearance. Parisian de-
signers will be looking to their lau-
rels when these ultra-sophisticated
styles hit the market. Even the
handbags and, yes, the furs, seemed
to be Florida-inspired.
The fashion industry in the Sun-
shine State will continue to mean
more to the people here. Not only
does this growing industry mean
more employment and bigger pay-
rolls, but it brings to our state and
nation a new and exciting center
for fashion that will keep right in
stride and perhaps even surpass
the already-famous style capitols of
the world.

WARREN'S MAP PUTS
FLORIDA ON THE MAP
Governor Fuller Warren has been
picked by 500 New York models as
one of the ten most attractive men
in America today. Newspapers of
the nation featured pictures of the
men selected and called attention
to the fact that Warren nosed out
Governor Warren of California as
the ballots were counted.
Looks like Warren's map has
put Florida on the map.

Returns To Jax After Visit
Miss Wita Dean Lowery, who is
employed with the state board of
health, returned to Jacksonville yes-
terday after a week's visit here
with her parents,. Mr. and Mrs. E.
L. Lowery.


He Was Right
One of the greatest foot special-
ists said that the human foot is a
mechanism more delicately bal-
anced and synchronized than the
finestt watch, but one which must
absorb more punishment than any
piece of machinery could take.

All orders have been totaled, in-
cluding free seedling orders, and it
has been found.that 18,164,000 seed-
lings have been obligated, making
it necessary to refuse additional'
regular seedling orders.
Other species available this year
while they last at the nurseries are
200,000 longleaf pine and 8500 red
cedar.
The shortage this year is due to
a shortage of seed. Seed crops for
the past three years have been poor
but prospects for the 1951-52 seed-
ling crop look much better.
