This is a legislative year, and al-
ready the principal topic in Talla-
hassee is "What will the 1951 legis-
lature do?"
No one really knows, of course.
hut political observers contacted by
a representative of The Star all
agree that we can count on some
form of increased taxes, in all prob-
ability a -straight-across-the-board
sales tax.
Governor Fuller Warren has re-
fused to ask for any additional
funds for his budget for office op-
erations and has urged other state
departments. boards and bureaus
to "go and do likewise," and not
ask for additional funds in the face
of the present world situation and
certainty of exceptionally heavy
federal taxes.
The bureaucrats, however, are
turning a deaf ear to his appeal,
and most boards and state agencies
are asking for more money than
ever, contending that they cannot
function effectively, unless it is
forthcoming.
Some conservative legislators ex-
press the belief that with the prac-
tice of economy our state agencies
can continue to operate and still do
a good job, and they are inclined to
discount their howls for more and
more funds.
The statewide hue and cry about
gambling is sure to reflect itself in
legislative halls, and it is quite pos-
sible that tighter gambling laws
will result. This has become a sore
subject, and fur is apt to fly before
the discussion is over. We believe
we can safely predict that an at-
tempt will be made to legalize
gambling in some form, but opposi-
tion to this seems to be general and
observers don't expect to see such
legislation pass.
The state milk commission will
probably be investigated and an at-
tempt niade to abolish it. Several
legislators have expressed their op-
position to the agency, and with
rising milk prices, largely blamed
on. the commission, this will be a
hot issue.
There probably also will be en-
deavors made to eliminate the state
barber commission, since barbers
are setting up an organization to
police their own house.

Dickens Takes Over AS
Head of Kiwanis Club

By HARRY McKNIGHT
The Wednesday noon meeting of
the Kiwanis Club, held at Hotel St.
Joe, was highlighted by the instal-
lation of the new president, Ben H.
Dickens Jr.. who appointed his com-
mittees for the' ensuing year and
heard reports on activities. He an-
nounced that the installation of all
officers will be held January 23 at
the "Ladies' Night" event.
Glenn Boyles and Cecil Costin Jr.,
told conflicting stories regarding
the Sugar Bowl grid game, giving
rise to doubts as to who knew just
what was really taking place.
Doc Bob King announced that the
basketball schedules for the Nor-
tonettes and men's teams will be
announced January 11. Doc is fling-
ing out the' challenge to any outfit
that thinks they'd like -to take on
either of these teams.


Basil E. Kenney Jr., of this city
was unanimously re-elected chair-
man of the board of county commis-
sioners at the first meeting of the
year held Tuesday by that august
body. Tobe Gay was named as vice-
chairman by unanimous .vote.
Applications of Silas Stone, F. M.
Campbell and Cecil G. Costin Jr.,
for prosecuting attorney in county
judge's court were considered by
the board and by a three-to-one vote
it was agreed to retain Costin and
Campbell as prosecuting attorney
and attorney for the board, Strange,
Gay and Kenney voting aye, and
Daniel voting nay.
The board also purchased two
trucks for county use, a half-ton
V-8 Ford from the St. Joe Motor
Company at a cost of $1,435, and a
six-ton used International truck
from Tom Byrd at a cost of $2,800,
Among other business transacted
by the board was the reappointment
of T. D. Whitfield as county road
superintendent, the selection of
names to be placed in the jury box
for the 1951 term of circuit court,
the naming of The Star as official
county paper for 1951, and the pay-
ing of bills against the county.


March of Dimes Drive

Will Open January '15

"Lend Me A Hand" Is Slogan for
Campaign That Continues
Until January 31

"Lend Me A Hand." That is the
slogan of the 1951 March of Dimes
which will open in Port St. Joe and
throughout the nation on January
15. The four words are expressed
eloquently by the poster-portrait of
a bright-faced American boy whose
arms have been crippled by polio.
He is Larry McKenzie, 12 years
old, one of some 54,000 men, women
and children to whom a helping
hand was extended by the March df
Dimes last year.
In three successive years, polio
has struck more than 100,000 peo-
ple in the United States. In that
time it has cost the National Foun-
datiof for Infantile Paralysis $58,-
000,000 to help them, as well as
earlier victims still needing care.
Since 1938 the patient-care outlay
alone has been $94,000,000 in March
of Dimes funds.
But these are only, inanimate fig-
ures-the real story of the March
of Dimes is people. That story is
unfolded in hospitals, rehabilitation
centers and clinics throughout the
country where real people-not just
"cases"- are fighting their way
back to useful lives. It is told in
homes, factories and offices by men
and women who have made come-
backs over great odds and at great
cost.
The knowledge that the individ-
ual battle can be and often is won
should stimulate everyone to back
the fight against polio. Tragically
enough,, the ranks of polio sufferers
will be increased this year. We
cannot control that-yet. But we
can all lend a hand through the
1951 March of Dimes, January 15-31.

Car Crushed By Counterbal-
ance At Canal Bridge
When Brakes Fail

Charles Roland Mahon, 43, died
Tuesday at the Port St. Joe Munici-
pal Hospital from injuries suffered
Sunday when his car crashed into
the huge concrete counterweight on
the lift span across the intracoastal
waterway at White City. Cause of
death was a fractured skull.
Riding in the car with Mr. Mahon
at the time were his wife, Minnie
Lee Mahon, one of his daughters,
Miss Judith/Mahon, and Marian
Parker. all of whom suffered minor
bruises and shock.
According to Parker, the brakes
of the car failed and, rather than
ram a car that had stopped to wait
for the bridge to be reopened, Ma-
hon swung around it and crashed
into the counterbalance. The front
of the car went under the concrete
block but the top was crushed down
over the front seat, pinning Mr. Ma-
hon down and crushing his head.
Parker, who was in the back seat
with Miss Judith, stated that Mrs..
Mahon, riding4n the front seal with
her husband, when she saw the car
was going to crash, endeavored to
climb over the back of the seat to
get: into the baA.k of th 'h,,ar,.-.an-
-was partially over when the ma-
chine hit the concrete block. This
action saved her from the same
fate suffered by her husband.
Funeral services were held yes-
terday morning at 9:30 from St.
Joseph's Catholic Church, with Rev.
Robert O'Sullivan officiating. Inter-
ment was in Magnolia Cemetery at
Apalachicola. The Comforter Fu-
neral home was in charge of ar-
rangements.
Active pallbearers were Denver
Miller,. Floyd Roberts, Barney Mc-
Cormick, Gus Creech, R. D. Prows
and J. L. Fuller. Honorary pallbear-
ers were members of. the Loyal Or-
der of Moose, H. W. Griffin and
Jim Bobbitt.
Mr. Mahon, born November 7,
1907, at Apalachicola, had been a
resident of Port St. Joe for some 15

Dorothy Gets Her Trip
To Hospital Paid For

The appeal made last week by
The Star for contributions to pay
bus fare for Dorothy Pate and her
mother to Pensacola where she is
to undergo an operation, up to yes-
terday had resulted in contributions
amounting to $44.13 from the kind
and generous people of Port St. Joe.
We believe this is more than suf-
ficient for the purpose.
Making contributions were Mrs.
Bert Hall $1, Mrs. C. M. Warner $2,
Mr. Anonymous $1, The Grice Fam-
ily $5, Mrs. Wes Farris $1, Florida
Bank $6.50, Pete Comforter $1, Dr.
L. H. Bartee $2, A Box Mill Worker
$13.48, A Friend $5, Baptist Sunday
School $1.15, The Star $5.
We feel sure that Dorothy will
want to thank the donors and will
use the columns of The Star to do so.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Do plan to set out some trees
this year. Nothing will add more to
the appearance and usefulness of
your yard than a few well-chosen
trees. Now is a good time to go
over your yard and decide what

THE GOOD LIFE
For the first time since the American Revolu-
tion, with ::the exception of' the Wai Between the
States, the 'people of our country are faced with
a stark test of faith. The conflict with world com-
:munism now is not to save the world for de-
mocracy, but to' repel an enemy who is deter-
mined'tO 'destroy in our land the Christian ideal
of human dignity and individual liberty and the
political system which upholds that ideal. Our
faith and our .strength is this ideal.
Irn retrospect, after nearly two centuries of
freedom and the boundless progress that only
freedom could have achieved, it would be a won-
der if we were not confused when suddenly con-
fronted with the prospect of a fight for actual
survival. But the time when we can afford con-
fusion has nearly run out. These words of Lenin,
uttered 30 years ago, ring with new significance:
"'As long as capitalism and socialism remain we
cannot live in peace. In the end, one or the other
will, triumph-a funeral requiem will be sung
either over the Soviet' Republic or over world
capitalism. We have to use any ruse, dodges,
tricks, cunning, unlawful methods, concealment


STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

(Held over from last week)
During the Yule season' we have
encountered a lot of folks and have
'heard a lot of things some of
'whicil we can print and a lot we
*can't. B. C. Prince, operator of
Wimico Lodge at White City was
some down in the mouth when we
saw him, and when we asked him
what the trouble was, he informed
us that at the request of his wife
he's building an extra-deluxe dog-
house to take care of some of his
extra-rambunctious friends. We
dropped in at Red Walker's billiard


and veiling of the truth."
This is the ruthless concept, backed by vast
military force, which is confronting America and
the world. To meet it we will need more than
arms and men. We will have to lay our sights
on primary objectives and keep them there. We
must forget the adolescent notion that material
security is an unqualified "right." The "rights"
embodied in the American religion are few and
elemental. They include equality of opportunity,
freedom of speech and religion, and the protec-
tion of private property. They are the tools with
which the individual may achieve "life, liberty,
and pursuit of happiness."
In a word, it is time we again understood what
this-country really stands for. This country was
founded to make men free. In the wealth of ma-
terial comfort we have enjoyed so long, we have
tended to forget that great truth. Now we must
return to the simple fundamental-1"this country
was founded to make men free."
We have come to a climactic phase in the his-
toryi of the good life. It is our duty to hold to-
gether for future generations the framework of
freedom which- made that good life possible.

'"THIESTATE IS MY SHEPHERD"
'The state is' my shepherd, I shall not work; it
rnaketh m-e to-lie down on good jobs;..it leadeth
m& in the paths of idleness for politics' sake. 'Yea,
thoutigh I walk through the valley of slothfulness
and economic disaster, I 'will fear no evil, for it
will be with me; its dole and paternalism, they
comfort me. It prepareth a Utopia for me by ap-
propriating the earnings of the frugal; it filleth
my head with full expectations; my mounting in-
efficiency runneth over. Surely, goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; I
shall live on the bounty of the state forever.-

THE LOW DOWN
---- from ----

WILUSI SWAMP

Editor The Starr:
Well, Sulk, we done' made it agin--
,have gone and ltum-d'riv to -the
big city of Tallyhase, and am still
alive and bak home. Don't no how
we ever made it. Nobuddy, it seems,
'liked it where they wuz at or are-
and of the mor petulant ones we
met up with, few of same, I 'de-
dooce, cud read.- Where them there
signs sed 25 myles, they hit it off
at 45.
Now-I ain't hankerin' to move
to enny City-but I do bigger I kin
dip in a oar and mebbe do sum-
thin' towards removing' the threat
of a nervous krakup that seems to
hang over every city persun. Cities
is full of nice peepul. But even 2
in 100 there, if they're of the honk-
the-stop-lite type or the cut-up-dido
type who is half pikkled with a hide
half full of ginn, them 2 kin make
it look bad fer the other 98-make
the City a place to. stay away frum.
I'm surrprized' tat we made it.
But we'll be rested up in a month
or 2, I reckon, and full of hope that
the most of the 2 in each 100 have
either lurned to read or have al-
reddy suicide themselves-or the
po-lice will have 'em safe in the
cooler-then we'll venture out agin.
Yours with the low down,
JO SERRA.
