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. County Pays In Taxes.of $29,851 According to figures released by Comptroller C, M.

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 Date for TharLksgiving Thank'sgiving this year will fall on November 2Z, the fourth Thurs- day in the month of the turkey fes- tival. It was so de-ignated by Gov- ernor Warren, follewiln an act of congress making the fourth Thurs- day in Nove:mber the holiday. A 1949 -Florit law requires the governor to set the holiday if c_.-- graes fails to do so. CLUB CONTINUES PROViDING EYE CARE FOR CHi.LDREN Are you taking ca-', of yocr eyes s" th/,t yu c.-- c-Lnue seeing everything? asks Mrs. Letitia Pres- to:, county health nurse. "Our school children e :e learning that their eyes are priceless and how they can best care f:' then," she said. "No one has yet discovered a way to grow a new eye to replace one that has been lost through ne- glect or an accident." She points out that the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club has been instru- mental in furthering this work by providing for the correction of vari- ous types of eye defects in children that would otherwise go uncared for.

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.

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!

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. -K 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.
