Welfare Grants


Biggest Burden of


Florida Taxpayer


Amount Spent Last Year Ex-
ceeded Entire Budget of
Twenty Years Ago

Florida's state governmental ex-
penditures have soared 628% in
the past two decades, and the $49,-
881,185 spent on welfare during the
past fiscal year exceeded by over
$8,500,000 the entire annual budget
for Florida 20 years ago.
The $41,347,185 spent by the state
during the year ending in July of
1930 is comparatively puny beside
the $259,735,968 disbursed during
the fiscal year of 1950.
The greater part of the 1950 funds
went for welfare payments, state
hospitals and sanitation, -highway
construction, schools and institu-
tions of higher learning, and aid to
cities and counties. In fact, without
these items, costing $206,476,810,
the state would have operated on a
budget totaling a mere $53,000,000.
During the 20 years that expendi-
tures rose 628%, Florida's popula-
tion. approximately doubled, grow-
ing from 1,468,211 in 1930 to 2,734,-
116 in 1950. A more nebulous fac-
tor, however, is the value of today's
dollar as compared with that of
1930.
According to State Comptroller
C.- M. Gay's fI..iur. Fl.,i ; spent
$2596735,968; d.rin-' tie I'K, fiscal
year. Most of this (66.9%) was
used for such operating expenses
as hospitals, correctional institu-
tions, road building and higher
learning. Largest whack, however,
went to the welfare program, which
spent $49,881,185.
Counties received 29% of the $259,-
735,968 in the form of direct aid.
Largest benefactor was the county
public schools, which received $47,-

Old-Fashioned Box
Supper To Be Staged
By Rebekah Lodge

Staged in the second half of the
twentieth century, an old-fashioned
idea turns sophisticated when Mel-
ody Rebekah Lodge No. 22 of this
city sponsors a box social Saturday
night, March 3, at 8 o'clock in the
Centennial Auditorium.
Ladies are asked to bring a box
lunch for: two, gaily wrapped .and
ribboned as enticingly as possible.
The lunches will go to the highest
bidder, contents sight unseen, and
since the feminine provider of the
lunch, whose name must. be inside
the box, goes along ,with her tempt-
ing box, the guests get mixed up a
bit for a "romantic" supper.
Dancing will follow the supper.
Proceeds of the affair will go to-
wards upkeep of the Odd Fellows
and Rebekah home for the aged in
Gainesville, Fla.
Admission, very small, will be de-
termined by the size sock worn by
those attending:
Everypne is urged to come out
for an evening of old-fashioned fun
and entertainment the evening of
Saturday, March 3.

Service Officer Here March 1
Veterans who need assistance in
obtaining benefits under the GI bill
may receive guidance from Preston

While two more cases are yet to

one of the three scheduled for the
first of this week were heard.

rected verdict of not guilty due to
the- fact that the state failed to
prove the allegations in the indict-
ment. Judge E. C. Welch granted
the motion and directed the jury to
find the defendant not guilty. Such
a finding was returned, signed by
J. L. "Red" Fuller, jury foreman.
In the case of the State of Flor-
ida vs. E. M. Gay of Panama City

Inaugurate Pension


Plan for Employes


of Paper Company


Workers With Ten Or More
Years of Service May
Retire At 65

Harry H. Saunders, production
manager of the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany, announced yesterday that a.
pension plan has been inaugurated
by-agreement with the local Broth-
erhoods of Paper Makers, Electrical
Workers and Machinists for all of
the employes they represent and all
other hourly paid employes.
This plan was made retroactive
to January 1, 1951, and enables ari
employee who has reached the age
of 65 and who has had ten or; more
years service, to retire and receive
the benefits of the pension plan.
The benefits provided by this pen-
sion plan are in addition to any
benefits that the employee may be
provided by the federal old age
benefit act, commonly referred to
as social security.
The plan is unique in that the.
company pays the entire cost. The.
employee does not have to make any
contributions. In addition to paying-
the entire cost of the pension plan,
the company also pays 50 per cent
of the cost for the retirement and
other benefits that each employee'
will receive under the social secur-
ity act.
The pension is based on the num-
ber of years of service and-the ac-.
tual earnings of the employee dur-
ing such years.
The plan further provides that
any employee may, with the consent
of the company, retire after he has:
attained the age of 55 and has had
25 or more years of service.
The plan also provides that any
employee may, upon becoming of
pension age, elect to have a reduced
benefit and have it guaranteed for

Kiwanis Thanks Governor
For Aid In Having Dust On
Monument Avenue Laid

-When work was stopped on the
widening of Monument Avenue a.
short time back, due to the cold'
weather, residents along the street:
were informed they would have to-
bear the dust clouds until spring.
A loud howl immediately went up,
and the Kiwanis Club took it upon
themselves as a public duty to see:
if something could be done about it-
After contacting the state road
department without result, the club-
went to Governor Warren with their
plea that something be done about
the matter-and it was. The con-
tractor worked up a temporary oil
surface for the 'avenue, and nowv
everybody is happy.
Thanking the governor for his as-
sistance, Ben Dickens, president of
the club, wrote him as follows:
"The Kiwani-: Club by unanimous
vote of its membership wishes to'
take this opportunity to express its
thanks and appreciation for the
prompt response by your office and
the Ftate road department in re-
suming work on Stale Road 30. The-
condi Lion-: which the Kiwanis Club
were desirous in eliminating have
been greatly alleviated by the work
performed.
"It is indeed gratifying to be
shown that our public officials are
alert and sympathetic to the wishes
and needs of the people of our
community."

At the last meeting of the Gladi-
olus Circle, Mrs. J. C. Belin gave
some helpful hints about caladium-
growing. They should be planted
two inches deep and about twelve
inches apart when all danger of
frost is over. Work ill some well-
rotted manure before planting. Work
the soil around them frequently and
fertilize and water them often. The
colors are prettier in the shade than
in full sun. When the foliage dies
- in the fall, dig them up if you want
to increase your stock, otherwise
they may be left in the ground.
Store the bulbs where air will cir-
culate; for example, hang 'them in'
mesh orange bags. When the bulbs
begin to sprout, cut the bulbs up
with one eye on each piece and set
out.
These bulbs are so colorful and
so easy to grow that everyone
should grow them. They will give
color in the yard through the hot
months when most of the annuals
are gone.

TABLOID PAPERS MOST POPULAR
Tabloidg.newspapers similar to The Star are
popular with advertising men, if the opinion of
.a group of adveijising men expressed at a recent
greeting counts for anything.
At a get-together of leading figures in adver-
tising on the west coast, from Alaska to Mexico
and a few from the middle west and east, opin-
ions were solicited, and these experts favored the
tabloid. They stated the tabloid size paper was
becoming predominant throughout the' nation
and that advertisers liked it because it h.ad been
found that a quarter-page advertisement showed
up better than a like size space in a standard
sheet because it had less to compete with. -
Easier-to-handle qualities of the tabloid were
also stressed, It was pointed out that readers do
not get lost, and in a larger page there is more
tendency to miss some important news hidden in
-a crowd of items.

Now Is Time To Plant
Your Vegetable Garden

Crop Specialist Says A Considerable
Variety Can Be Planted
All Over State

February and March are the
period for planting many kinds of
vegetables in the home garden, ac-
cording to Forrest E. Myers, assist-
ant vegetable crops specialist with
the University of Florida agricul-
tural extension service.
Broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions,
and potatoes may be planted in
gardens in all sections of the state
now. The tenderer vegetables, such
as sweet corn, beans, tomatoes, and
cantaloupes, may be planted now
in the southern and central sections
of Florida and in northern Florida
after March 1. Frosts, may come
after such .vegetables are planted,
but it has generally been considered
fairly safe .to plant them according
to that schedule.
Among varieties recommended
by the extension service, worker
for, ood.yields and other desirable.
factors..are contender snap beans,1
concentrated lima beans, bonanza
cabbage, Florida market eggplant,
Smitlh's perfect cantaloupes, :aeneca
sweet corn, palmetto cucumbers,
grano onions, iceburg lettuce, and
manahill, manasota, rutgers, gro-
the s globe, and stokesdale toma-
Myers also offered these sug-
gestions to gardeners:
Apply from one half to one pound
of 4-7-5 fertilizer per 10 feet of
garden row in bands two inches
below the surface and two to three
inches to the side of the plant
furrow.
It previous experience has shown
heavy root-knot infestation, fumi-
gate the soil with one of the prep-
arations on the market for this pur-
pose. Fumigate at least three weeks
before planting.
Apply spergon to seed before
planting to reduce seed-borne dis-
eases. Placing the seed in a con-
tainer in which there is a small
* amount of spergon and shaking
them is an easy way to do this job.
Space plantings so the plants
will not be crowded in the row.
Thinning may be necessary after


Interest for 20 Years
To Be Paid On Bonds

Bond Originally Purchased for $75
Will Evantually Increase In
Value To $133.33

1Members of the house in con-
gress have taken one of the great-
est steps in history in stimulating
regular savings by the average Am-
erican. The action of the house in
approving legislation to put into ef-
fect the treasury plan for handling
maturing Series E Savings Bonds,
-beginning May 1, 1951, is important
news to all of us in this time of
emergency.
Under this plan, the holder will
have the choice of:
1-Accepting cash, if he so de-
sires. Bonds are cashable at any
time; or
2--Continuing to hold his present
bond, with an automatic interest-
bearing extension. Owners who ex-
ercise this extension privilege will
receivep2% simple interest for all
interest during the final 2% years
of the extension will. bring the total
interest to 2.9% ,oqmpo.unded; or
3--Exehange his -i mattred- bond
for a cuurernt'incorie Series G. Say-
fnga uiOnk. .:. : I
This legislation should make sav-
ings bonds more attractive than
ever before as a vehicle for the fu-
ture prosperity of individuals, com-
munities and the'nation as a whole.
A savings bond purchaser will re-
ceive 78% more than his original
investment by holding his bond to
maturity and then taking full ad-
vantage of his extension privilege
for another 10 years. Dollar-wise,
this means that a savings bond
buyer has the opportunity to re-
ceive $133.33 for the bond he origin-
ally purchased for $75.

Breakfast Said

Most Important

Meal of the Day

Nutritionists Aver It Should
Constitute At Least One-
Third of Day's Intake
Cartoons and the ,comic strips
frequently picture -the American
commuter clutching a steaming cup
of coffee in his hand as he runs for
his bus or train in the morning.
The implication is that most of us
give ourselves little or no time for
breakfast, which is considered by
many doctors and nutritionists as
the most important meal of the day.
While cartoonists may exaggerate
a bit, it is true that many of us,
especially city-dwellers with jobs,
habitually neglect eating a proper
breakfast. Breakfast is uninterest-
ing, unimportant, and time-consum-
ing to some people, and many ,seem
to feel that they have the remainder
of, the day to make up nutritional
needs. -: ..
However, nutritionists warn us'
that breakfast i-ean important meal
and should constitute from one-
fourth to a third of the day's intake
of food. Nutrition experts point out
that, ordinarily,. the stretch from
dinner in the evening to breakfast
the following morning is the long'
est period in which the body goes
without food, and nourishment is
needed early in the morning.
As a matter of fact, the person
who skips breakfast and waits

morning of his working day in

The results of many experiments
among .students, housewives, and
working people show that those
-who neglect breakfast are gener-
ally less efficient and less alert
during the morning than people
,engaged in similar pursuits who
start the day with a nourishing
meal.
Like all meals, a "good break-
fast" doesn't necessarily mean a
great deal of food, but rather a well-
balanced menu of "energy foods"
and .those which build, tissue and
supply vitamins and minerals. A
satisfactory breakfast, one that can
give a person a good start for the
day's tasks, can consist of fruit or
fruit juice, an egg, milk, bread,

Mrs. G. A. Osterloh, one of our
'"sample copy" readers, submits the
'following definition of a boy, which
.she clipped from the Macon News:
"BOY: After a male baby has
grown out of long clothes and tri-
-angles and has acquired freckles,
pants and so much dirt that rela-
tives do not dare kiss it between
meals, it becomes a boy.
"A boy is Nature's answer to that
Jalse belief that there is no such
thing as perpetual motion. A boy
*can-swim like a fish, run like a
deer, climb like a squirrel. balk like
a mule, bellow like a bull. eat like
a pig, or act like a jackass, accord-
ing to climatic conditions. He is a
piece of skin stretched over an
appetite. A noise covered with
smudges. He is called a tornado be-
.casue he comes at the most unex-
pected times, hits the most unex-
pected places, and leaves every-
thing a wreck behind him.
"He is a growing animal of su-
perlative promise, to be fed, wa-
tered and kept warm. a joy forever.
a periodic nuisance, the problem of
our times, the hope of a nation.
Every boy born is evidence, that
'God is not yet discouraged of men.
"Boys faithfully imitate their dads
in spite of all efforts to teach them
:good manners. A boy, if not washed
too often and if kept in a cool, quiet
place after each accident, will sur-
vive broken bones, hornets, swim-
ming holes, fights and nine helpings
of pie."
Watching Glenn Boyles trying to
fit a pair of shoes to Byron Eells
Four-I the other day, without suc-
cess, we asked him if he had much
trouble with the kids nowadays. To
which he replied: "It's a wonder
all the merchants aren't in Chatta-
hoochee, The kids today want just
a certain kind of article, and if
they can't get it, they won't have
a substitute. Why, when you and I
were kids we thought we were in
luck to have a pair of shoes, re-
gardless of what kind they were-
or a pair of brand new bib over-
alls and a 10-cent straw hat."

We thought we'd just about' ex-
hausted the possibilities of the new
dollar haircut, but George Cooper
comes up with another angle. Sez
he: "You can tell your readers that
they no lbnger have to drive 50 or
100 miles to get a dollar haircut-
they can get it right here at home

admission by buying tournament
tickets before the first day. Price
of these pre-game ducats will be
$1.50 for adults and 75c for school
children, permitting the holder to
see all eight games.
"After the tournament begins,"
says Doc, "the patrons will be re-
quired to pay the full price of 50c
and 25c per night. There will be
two games each night, and fans will
*4ave an opportunity of seeing all of
the contests at a real saving."
The tournament is being spon-
sored by the Kiwanis Club to raise
funds for its boys' and girls' work.
The Nortonettes and men's Inde-
pendent teams are winding up an-
other very good season and those
who have seen the local lads in ac-
tion against the top competition in


this section know that West Flor-
ida cage fans are in for a real bas-
ketball treat. "There are positively
no $1000 'fixes,' either," says Doc
King.

PENSION PLAN

the joint lifetime of himself and his
wife.
"No employee should feel that the
St. Joe Paper Company is trying to
take over the whole job of his fu-
ture security," said Saunders. "Am-
erica has become great through the
efforts of individuals to help them-
selves. The company feels that each
employee should have a responsibil-
ity to provide some security for
himself."
It is expected that the paper com-
pany will announce within the next
few months a pension plan for its
salaried employes.

Mr. and Mrs. Sid Harrell of

498,000.
The cities were given a 2.6% slice
of the tax pie, most of this $6,844,-
563 contribution being made pos-
sible by the cigaret tax law.
Most of the $259,735,968 spent by
the state in 1950 came from close at
home- roughly 70% was derived
directly from state taxation, while
the rest came from the federal gov-
ernment, retirement, collections and
other miscellaneous sources.
Placing Florida's 1950 revenue
statistics in a nutshell, the state re-
ceived $263,521,903, of which $185,-
669,846, or 70.5%, resulted directly
from state taxation.
Among the state's largest sources
of revenue were the gasoline tax
with $50,836,322, the limited sales
tax with $23,596,081, the beverage
tax with $23,838,159; the cigaret tax
with $15,180,236, and the racing tax
with $13,191,749.
State Comptroller Gay and State
Budget Director Homer Graham are
in agreement on one point the
cost of Florida government would
be painless to the taxpayer were it
not for the tremendous outlay rep-
resented by welfare payments, state
hospitals and sanitation, schools
and institutions of higher learning,
highway construction and aid to
cities and counties.

STruman Skit Subject

At Press Breakfast

Members of Florida Fourth Estate
Also Rib Governor Warren and
the Kefauver Investigation

Once a year newspaper men and
women gather at Winter Haven,
during the Florida Orange Exposi-
tion for the annual "press break-
fast. The skits and gags that make
up the non-professional entertain-
ment are written by the newspaper
men themselves and the casts are
made up of such amateur actors as
are available in the ranks of the
Fourth Estate.
While the show is "off the rec-
ord" there are always a number of
songs featured in the skits, and the
theme song at the 1951 breakfast
held last Friday was "The Thing."
Two verses dealing with President
Truman amused the crowd, and if
you know the tune of "The Thing"
you might try,these words:
Now Harry is a letter man,
He likes to write his own,
And every time he gets a chance
He'll sneak off alone
And write some bozo he-don't like.
He says just what he thinks.
He'll call a critic a BAM-BAM-BAM
And tell the guy he stinks.
The cost of living's going up,
The dollar value down,
A steak that used to cost a buck
Is now twice that a pound.
But Harry laughs and says "Ha, ha,
You ain't seen nuthin' yet-
I'll put a tax on your BAM-BAM-
BAM.
And brother, then you'll sweat!".
Switching the spotlight to the Ke-
fauver investigation, another verse
went like this:
A sheriff's job is mighty nice
When things are. going well,
But senators investigate
And give the sheriff hell.
They ask him this and ask him that
And give him dirty looks,
But he won't tell 'em a BAM-BAM-
BAM
Or open up his books.
Tribute was paid to Governor Ful-
ler Warren in another verse:
Now Fuller used to speak right up
Before he'd stop to think,
And say some things that weren't
so hot
When they reached printer's ink.
But lately he has watched his step
And thinks before he speaks-
He hasn't uttered a BAM-BAM-BAM
For weeks and weeks and weeks.
There were some other good ones
but, unfortunately, space doesn't
permit their use. The show is all in
fun and politicians who attend don't
inind the ribbing and come back
every year for more."

CIRCUIT COURT

(Continued from page 1)
defendant furnished the court with
an affidavit from a Panama City
doctor that he is in the hospital.
Atcions at law brought by Frank
& Dot's Agency and the Gulf Hard-
ware & Supply Company against
Ben Williams were also held over
to the fall term when the defendant
sent an affidavit from Dr. A. L.
Ward stating that he was going to
the hospital Wednesday for an ap-
pendectomy.
Scheduled to be heard yesterday
was an action at law between G. C.
Wade and Wenman Wade of We-
wahitchka, and today the case of
the State of Florida vs. Lenondrous
Newkirk, colored, of Port St.. Joe,
charged with throwing a missile
into a dwelling house.

Venison to some is the most
highly-prized wild game.


Gulf People Buy Defense Bonds

people of Gulf county bought a to-
tal of $5,156 in Series E. Defense
Bonds and $1,580 of the Series G.

training at Crawford W. Long Hos-
pital, Atlanta, Ga., is home for a

Alpine Lakes
Switzerland is reported using
some of its scenic Alpine lakes as
"deep-freezes," lowering food and
other perishable supplies in sealed
drums 40 feet or more below sur-
face level. There is plenty of room
40 feet and more down in Lake
Geneva. The crescent-shaped lake
fills a steep canyon of rock 45 miles
long and eight miles at its widest,
with water depths of as much as
1,095 feet.
