Health Board Trailer Bearing 'Tillie, the Tin Technician' To Be In City Tuesday Get set, folks, for "Tillie, the Tin Technician" is coming for the bene- fit of residents in this area who may be anxious to know if they have diabetes. With Tillie to do the honors, they can find out with rea- sonable certainty next Tuesday, Oc- tober 31, 'rom 9 to 11 a. m. and 1 to 3:30 p. m., for on that day, in Port St. Joe, the diabetes detection team from the Florida State Board of Health, in co-operation with the Gulf County Health Department, ana. sponsored by the St. Joe Ro- tary Club, will run "quickie" tests for diabetes. The mobile unit housing the necessary equipment, operated by the state health agency's division of nutrition and diabetes, which is to be parked at the rear of the city hall, is equipped to give the neces- sary blood sugar test in a matter of a few seconds.' The results will usually be available in five min- utes, according to Dr. Malcolm J. Ford, division director. Members of the diabetes detec- tion team include Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds Davis and Miss V. Sisco, laboratory technicians. The secret of successful opera- tion at high speed is the use of the Hewson clinitron, nicknamed "Til- lie, the Tin Technician," a mechani- cal device which helps to determine the amount of sugar in the blood. With the help of the machine, tech- nicians can tell if the,high sugar content which usually indicates the presence,'of diabetes is, evident in the person being examined. Reason for sending a diabetes detection team into the field is to locate the- diabetic while he is still in the early stages of the condition.

If you do, pat him affection- ately on the head, for he is a virtuoso, a curio, a premature patriarch Worthy almost of framing" and sending to the Smithsonian Institution. Yet it was only a-generation ago .when top spinning was a topnotch sport for millions of boys. There were even, among lads, collectors' and fanciers of tops. We recall that certain woods (walnut and oak) were better for Lops than others (maple or pine). We once knew a boy who had a top made' of Algerian briar. It was,.! by all odds, the strongest, best-balanced, spin-. ningest top we ever have seen. We offered many times to buy that top. A jackknife, three Alger books and a pair of roller skates comprised our top offer. Despite the fact that this constituted our total capital; the offer was rejected. Is it possible that the art of spinning a top is going the way of "Hoist a Green Sail," "Peggy" and Pi.i,." the latter a- nine-hole game of marbles? Only yesterday there were boys who could throw a top overhand, underhand or up- side down. Top spinning was one of the most skillful of all games. .. .. s -. But, most of all, it was fin.

THE DUTY OF GOVERNMENT Apparently it is no longer fashionable for pub- lic men to speak out in favor of such old-fash- ioned virtues as thrift, and local and individual self-reliance and independence. The current mode is to urge that the federal government do practically everything for everybody-and, in the process, take more and more of our earnings in taxes. So it is refreshing when a man holding a high political position speaks his mind about the road we have been traveling as a nation. Governor Lee of Utah did that in a recent speech, saying: "The poorest businessman on earth is the government. You know it has a mort- gage on everything we own in this country that equals about what would be equivalent to a 100 per cent mortgage and you know it is spending more money than it takes in every day of the year. Now you know that isn't good business. "I like a good boxing match or almost any kind of sport. And I can enjoy that game or that sport up to the point where the referee starts choosing sides, and then I no longer have. any interest in the game. I like the game of life where we com- pete with each other, in business for jobs; and I can enjoy it. until the goveiinment-the referee- begins to choose sides. And 1 certainly don't want to be a competitor with my government because I will soon be out of business. It is the duty of your government to see that people are treated fairly, and that is the kifid of government I want and that is the kind of government I am going .to fight for." .it !,-..- is nothing complicated about that, and nothing dramatic. It simply expresses, in simple words, the philosophy that created and built this nation. ; With'the government carrying a $250,000,000,- 300 (billion) debt, your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman says the public, with a mere $20,- )00,000,000 (billion) in personal indebtedness, -nim cut down on its si"-'-lin." ..

THE STAR, P S JOE, GULF CI FRIDAY OCTOBER 27 1950 Do You Want To Cut Your Federal Taxes? RoadToThe Poorhouse America's most popular toy this year is called the "crasher truck." SIt is a mechanical gadget which falls apart when it hits anything. Faced with expenses that may hit $52 billion dollars during 1950. our government could fall apart like the crasher truck unless you, as a citizen, apply the brake. Three years ago, Congress cre- ated a bi-partisan, twelve-man Commission to study the waste and duplication of effort in the agencies and bureaus in the Execu- tive Branch of the Federal Govern- ment. This Commission, approved by President Truman and headed by. former President Hoover, has turned in a report which would cut our tax bill three to four billion dollars annually-if the recommen- dations are enacted into law. This mean that it would save you one dollars out of every ten you pay in taxes. Whether you realize it or not, every family in the United States pays yearly, on the average, in direct and hidden taxes, more than $1,000.00 each to support the Federal Government alone. Congress has already authorized $15,000,000,000 for construction of- major projects, and another $30,000,000,000 authorization is planned. The Commission has recommend- ed, (1) Creation of an impartial Board of Analysis for engineering and architectural projects, (2) Long-range planning of projects to meet the ebb and flow of economic cycles, and (3) Coordination of all public works. Such prudence might well save the nation from collapse. If you think this march down the road to the poorhouse should be halted, wire your Congressman.

STARDUST and MOONSHINE Music Director Charles Conter stated last Thursday night at the dedication of the new high school building that "this is the first time in eight years that our school has had a glee club"-which was duly reported in The Star. After the paper was off the press we happened to think that we at- tended a shindig at the school about three years ago at which time Miss Erline McClellan directed a num- ber of glee club numbers. The mat- ter stuck in our mind due to the fact that we remarked to our wife the shapeliness of the directresses' limbs and that were were going to mention it in ,the *paper, to which she said: "Bill, don't you dare do such a thing"-which we are now .1oing, prou iy L'h.,rnnJfbLrnA_ stated that this was the first time a grid team had flown to a game, and that it took eight hydroplanes to carry them. While Lapey was here we showed him some of our old papers-one dated 1800 con- taining the death of George Wash- ington; a copy of the Saturday Eve- ning Post dated 1825, and some la- ter papers up about 1835 and 1840. As he went out to his car, our wife was coming in, and she asked us what was the matter with Lapey- rouse, that he had passed her mut- tering: and I thought I had an old paper." And speaking of the high school dedication, that speech made by Tom Bailey was one of the neatest political talks we've heard in a long time. However, he did devote the last minute or so of his talk to ded- icating the school plant to the youth of our community.
