Gulf Red Cross

Fund Campaign

Now Underway

County Quota Set At $1500,
52% of Which Will Be
Used Locally

Gulf county's 1951 Red Cross fund
campaign got underway yesterday
under the direction of Jos. V. Dowd
of this city, chairman. Quota for
the county this year is $1500, an in-
crease over last year due to in-
creased demands caused by the war
in Korea.
Of funds collected, 52% will be
retained in Gulf county for local re-
quirements, including such aids to
service men and their families as
emergency communications and re-
ports, counseling in personal and
family problems, verification of the
need for emergency leave, financial
assistance in emergencies, and in-
formation regarding government
benefits'and assistance in applying
for them.
The balance, or 42% of the sum
raised in Gulf county, will go to the
national Red Cross for varied re-
quirements, such as disaster relief.
During the past five years the state
of Florida as a whole received the
sum of $2,045,579.25 for disaster re-
lief. For the same five-year period,
the people of Florida contributed
$1,748,242.51 to national headquar-
ters, thus receiving $302,336.74 over
what they contributed.
When such facts as these are
taken into consideration, points out
Chairman Dowd, we can do nothing
other than support the Red Cross
fund drive.


We May Be Stuck

With Harry Again

Amendment Barring Future Presi-
idents From Serving More.Than
Ten Years Becomes Law

The 22nd amendment to the con-
stitution, barring future presidents
from serving more than two elec-
tive terms or more than 10 years:
in the White House, became the
law of the land Monday night when
Utah and Nevada-the 35th and
36th states to approve the amend-
ment-voted for ratification. A ma-
jority of three-fourths of the states
was needed to make the amend-
ment effective.
However, sad to relate, it won't
apply to Truman, who was specifjc-
, ally exempted when congress sub-
mitted the proposed amendment to
the states in 1947.
Outside the legal phraseology,
here's what the amendment pro-
vides:
That a president may serve only
two elected terms. A man who has
served up to two years of, another
president's unexpired term could
still serve an additional eight years.
But a vice-president succeeding
to the presidency and serving more
than two years before the term ex-
pired would be eligible for election
only once.

AVailable Soon


Purpose of Program Is To
Bring About Decrease
In Illiteracy Rate

Plans are now underway to make
free schooling available to all resi-
dents of Gulf county, according to
Mel Magidson, director of adult and
veteran education in the county.
Starting on July 1, classes in ele-
mentlary, secondary and-literacy ed-
ucation will be in operation, pro-
vided that enough students are en-
rolled. All men and women in Gulf
county who are not high school
graduates will be eligible to attend
these classes if they are over 18
years of age.
There will be no charge for tu-
ition or textbooks furnished, and
present plans call for classes to..
meet twice a week for about two
hours each night. Both white and
colored groups will be formed.
Purpose of this program is to
bring about a decrease in the il-
literacy rate in the county, and also
to provide an opportunity for adults
to complete their elementary and
high school education.
Special classes in almost any sub-
ject can be organized if there are
a sufficient number of potential stu-
dents requesting this special train-
ing.
Director Magidson plans to en-
list the aid of all civic organiza-
tions and clubs in both Port St. Joe
and Wewahitchka in helping to
make a-concerted effort to enroll
all eligible adults in the county-wide
program.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB
If you have a ligustrum which is
too large for its location or which
has a straggly, ugly shape, you can
recondition it by cutting it down
practically to the ground. Leave
about one foot of the old stems. It
will come out thicker and much
prettier.
As you prune evergreens, put out
-cuttings. Place them in a mixture
of half sand and half peat moss and
keep damp. They will root by late
spring.
Oleanders make prettier and more
-shapely shrubs for being cut 'back'
severely about. every three years,
and now is a good time .to do,this,
for cold weather has damaged.them
to the 'extent that they will, not:
bloom' this summer. :Any branch
that you cut out on an oleander
should be cut to the ground.

held on the grounds of the Bayview

COUNTY'S YOUTH TO TAKE INVENTORY
Farm boys and girls of Gulf county are observ-
ing National 4-H Club Week March 3 to 11,
along with the rest of Florida's 26,0.00 and the
nation's 2,000,000 club members.
The people of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka
know the value of agriculture; our farmers not
only grow much of the food we pat, but they
also come into town on Saturday and frequently
through the week to buy their clothes, farm
equipment. and other necessities from the local
merchants.
Much of the trade of the two cities of the
county-their lifeblood-depends upon the far-
mer. And for this reason, a little attention paid
to our rural boys and girls, who 'will be full-
fledged farmers and farm homemakers five to
ten years from now, is not inappropriate.
What are the high points of the 4-H Club mem-
bers' observance this year?
First, there's the matter of thrift. Thrift is a
virtue for both the farm and the city youth. But
we are especially dependent upon the thrift of
the farm boy, for unless he learns early the les-
son of thrift in crop rotation and cover crop prac-
tices-in short, the scientific knowledge required
for producing Florida's vegetable, field crops,
meat and citrus-all of us would see the differ-
-ence on our dinner table in a short time.
Second, the farm boy and girl are pledging
themselves to better understanding of world af-
fairs. What's happening in Korea is a long way
from here, but some of our Gulf county farm
boys are fighting in Korea today.
A healthy farm boy or girl who has raised a
prize pig or heifer, or produced a record field
or vegetable crop isn't likely to become a Com-
munist. In fact, such a youngster who has learned
to produce with his own hands and who knows
the fruit of his own work, is just about as far
away from becoming a disciple of totalitarian
government as he can get. But in order to better
fight the insidious spread of Communism our
farm boy and girl must have an understanding of
world affairs.
So The' Star congratulates the farm boys and
girls of Gulf county upon their program for the
week. And we'll be mighty proud of them when
they become in their own right the full-fledged
farmers and rural homemakers of our county.

We've just discovered why the people of Ver-
mont live to such ripe old ages. When they
reach a certain age they are put in a snowbank
every winter and frozen, then thawed out in the
spring, thus adding many months or years to
their time for living.


LET'S MOVE ON REDISTRICTING
Florida has been officially notified that it is
entitled to two additional seats-a total of eight-
in the house of representatives in congress. Seats
in the house are distributed among the states on
the basis of population. Florida grew more
rapidly than all but two of the states in the Union,
between the 1940 and 1950 census, and the ad-
ditional seats were allotted in recognition of this
rapid growth.
It is now up to Florida to decide in what man-
ner the. new representatives shall be chosen.
i. Two courses are open. The seats can be filled
on a state-wide or at-large basis, or they can be
filled by dividing the state into eight instead of
the present six congressional districts.
The easy way out would be the use. of the at-
large method. But that could not correct the in-
equitable situation which now exists. Moreover,
as Florida's six congressmen-have pointed out in
a joint statement to leaders of the Florida legis-
lature, members elected at-large frequently lose
seniority in the house through subsequent re-
districting.
The allotment of two additional seats provides
an opportunity for a fair division of the state into
eight congressional districts having comparatively
equal populations. The responsibility for taking
advantage of it rests with the 1951 legislature.
Its leaders should get to work now on a sound
plan for redistricting the state so it can be pre-
sented when the legislature convenes in April.
If they don't, Floridians should be prepared to
step in and demand prompt action.-The Tampa
Tribune.

A WAY IN AND OUT
The public of Florida has just awakened to
the fact that it has untold riches in its back yard
-in its public parks and recreation grounds, But
the tragedy is that so few people can get to them
today.
The state road department has taken a forward
lookifig view of this problem. Authorized and di-
rected by the 1949 legislature to construct roads
to and from state parks, the road department has
planned to open up as many of these valuable
areas this year as its budget will permit.
Along with access roads, the department and
the park board .together are planning many more
wayside parks, where the people may pause for
picnics, for a rest, or to break their journey. Some
of these facilities will fit into major state parks,
as an added attraction.
This happy combination of roads and parks
guarantees that before many more years have
passed, the people of Florida and their guests
can have a way in and a way out of public rec-
reation areas, a way to and from the few remain-
ing miles of public beach on Florida's shore, a
way to get to places to enjoy Mother Nature in
her most exuberant moods.
For these blessings the public will give thanks.

We're glad to see that a two-thirds majority of
the states have ratified the anti-third term for
president constitutional amendment. Too bad it
couldn't have been passed sooner to prevent your
friend Harry from-seeking another four-year lease
on the White House. However, the fact that the
Amendment has been ratified may have a sort of
psychological effect and act to prevent him from
receiving sufficient electoral votes to be returned
to office.

The man who is too big for his britches is
generally exposed at both ends.

Andrews Would

Eliminate Hundred

State Agencies

Other Legislative Matters Include
Sales Tax and Redistricting for
Congressional Representation

By KENNETH BALLINGER
Charles 0. Andrews, state repre-
sentative of Orange county, is mak-
ing legislative news with his plan
to squeeze 127 state agencies into 27
departments, with the aim of sav-
ing $10,000,000 in annual cost.
Andrews is the man who rewrote
many of the state's election laws
in 1949. He is the sdn of former
Senator Charles 0., Andrews and
one of the recognized leaders of he
1951 legislature. He submitted his
plan to the Florida State Retailers
Association, which provides for civil
service, central state purchasing,
pay the governor $25,000 a year and
give him a sufficient staff, and set
up a five-man commission to work
out the details of reorganization be-
fore 1953.
The St. Petersburg Times reports
a survey of newsmen indicates they
believe the sales tax will be broad-
ened at the coming session, with
taxes the most important issue.

were suggested by Gay, consolida-
tion of collection agencies and in-
vestigation of the state welfare pro-
gram. "Consolidation of collection
agencies would save the stale $3,-
000,000 a year," he said.
Referring to the state's welfare
program, Gay emphasized that he
was strongly in favor-of taking care
of the needy and the dependent,
but that care should be taken that
the program is not abused. "If this
program gets out of hand," he said,
1 "it could sap the income of our
state. It already has grown from
nothing to $50,000,000 within the
past fifteen years." He added that
this program of welfare spending
should skyrocket during times of
prosperity is an alarming situation.

Hot Cross Buns Add

Spicy Flavor to Lenten Meals!


"One-a-penny, two-a-penny-hot cross buns: if your daughters don't like
'em, give 'em to your sons." So goes the old rhyme. But today there's
no doubt about who likes these Lenten favorites.


Especially popular with daugh-
ters, sons, and all the family are
Jane Parker Hot Cross Buns.
They're made with a smooth blend
of spices filled with plump
raisins, tangy citrus tidbits, and
topped with crosses of snowy icing.


For a 'specially delicious treat at
tea time, snack-time or mealtime,
just heat 'em slightly before serv-
ing. This brings out all the full,
oven-fresh flavor of these tradi-
tional buns, fresh daily during
Lent at A&P.
