Cancer Fund Drive

Opens Next Month

Educational and Service Program Is
Carried On By Society To
Save Many Lives

During the past year 3,6Q9 lives
were claimed, by cancer in Florida,
which included 10 deaths occurring
in Gulf county, according to J. L.
Sharit of this city, chairman of the
educational and fund raising cru-'
,sade which will be carried on here
during the month of April by the
American Cancer Society.
In making his appeal to the peo-
ple of Gulf county to give gener-
ously, Mr. Sharit explained that
many of these lives were lost need-
lessly, and that the American Can-
.cer Society is attempting to save
them through its threefold program
-research, education and service.
One-fourth of every dollar con-
tributed will pay for research proj-
ects which are being carried on in
an effort to learn the cause of and
cure for cancer. It is through this
part of the program that there is
hope of finally conquering the dis-
ease.
Experts in the field say that at
least a third of those who die, or
1000 persons a year in Florida. could
live if they knew cancer's danger
signals and visited their physician
at the first warning. The cancer so-
ciety is carrying on an educational
program in an effort to bring these
life-saying facts to the people of the
state.
A service program is also carried
on to aid cancer patients. The so-
-ciety g,'.' .- irinr-.. i' aid to 11 elnic--
in the state where treatment is
given to medically indigent cancer
patients, and volunteer workers per-
form many other services for them.
"In supporting this worthy cause,"
said the county chairman, "you will
help to save lives. It may be the life
of a friend or neighbor. It may be
the life of a member of your family
-or it may be your own."

Gulf County Schools

Receive Surplus Food

Total Value of 'Commodities Dis-
tributed To Four Lunchrooms
Amounts To $4,164.92

Approximately 1400 children in
four schools of Gulf county were
benefitted through the distribution
of surplus food commodities last
year, according to Tom Owens, su-
perintendent of public instruction.
A wide variety of foods were sent
to the board of public instruction
from the state welfare board's com-
modity distribution division. The
welfare board is responsible for the
distribution of. commodities pur-
chased and made available to the
state through the agriculture de-
partment's price support program.
That is a. function 5-. the- agency
prescribed in the state welfare act,
along with its program of provid-
ing public assistance to the needy
aged, blind, and dependent children.
The foods are sent to the state
without any direct cost and are dis-
tributed to schools with lunchrooms
and to state and charitable institu-
tions.
In Gulf county, foods served to
school children had a total value of
$4,164.92, which included 85 cases
of canned tomatoes, 120 bushels of
fresh apples, 1500' pounds of dried
beans, 1536 pounds of creamery but-
ter, 65 cases of canned corn, 12
cases of peanut butter, 836 pounds
of frozen turkeys, and smaller
amounts of miscellaneous items.
"These commodities, have meant
a great deal to our school children
in making it possible for them to
have more nutritious lunches in the
school cafeterias without any addi-
tional cost to the school system or
to the children," said Superinten-
dent Owens.

Guest Organist At Easter Service
Miss Ann Dellapent of Water-
town, N. Y., a niece of Mrs. E. L.
Hobaugh, was guest organist for
the Easter program at the Metho-
dist Church last Sunday.


Sharit, program chairman, who de-
scribed the speaker as a member of
one of the pioneer families of the
city and one of its most solid citi-
zens and outstanding as a servant
of our town and county.
Taking as his subject 'An Outline
of the Problems: Confronting the
Next State Legislature," Represen-
tative Tapper, comparing local gov-
erning bodies with state bodies,
cited the wide differences of opin-
ion and needs of state'representa-
tives in contrast to those of the
community. The needs and wishes
of all sections of the state must be
toned down and apportioned ac-

urgency of the needs, he pointed

Youths Reaching 18
Reminded To Register

B. W. Eells, Gulf county member
of. the Gulf-Franklin selective ser-
vice board, reminds young men be-
tween the ages of 18 and 26 that
they are required to register with
him.
This applies to all men between
those ages, regardless of whether
they are ex-servicemen. But, Mr.
Eells points out, anyone entitled to
an exemption won't be drafted.
"We're getting in two or three
18-year-old registrants each week,"
said Eells, "but a few may not know
that the law requires every male to
register when he reaches the age
of 18 years."
But few men have been called up
in Gulf county by the board lately,
as the number of volunteers has
kept ahead of the quota.

Small Employers Urged

To Protest Payroll Tax

Industrial Commission. Would Slap
Three Per Cent Levy On Those
Employing One or More

If small employers in Port St. Joe
don't want a new, 3F/% payroll tax
added to their cost of doing busi-
ness, they'd better contact Repre-
sentative George Tapper and Sena-
tor Olin Shivers right now. That's
the advice handed out by a repre-
sentative of the Port St. Joe Re-
tail Merchants Association.
The new payroll tax has been of-
ficially recommended to the 1951
legislature by the state advisory
council of the state industrial com-
mission, and all state senators and
representatives already have re-
ceived recommendations from the
commission.
The recommendation proposes to
broaden the state's unemployment
compensation program to include
all employers of one or more per-
sons in covered business and indus-
try and give the industrial commis-
sion more money to play around
with. At present the program em-
braces only- employers of eight or
more workers.
The industrial commission is also
seeking an increase in maximum un-
employment benefits of $22 for .20
weeks. It is pointed out by the mer-
chants association that liberaliza-
tion of the unemployment program
will encourage idleness at a time
when full. employment is essential
to the nation's all-ouft defense ef-
fort.
Small firms, already. swamped;
, .. ; ;. m of ipoyitd. pr-e ia-e,
are not equipped to handle this new
burden. The average small business
man in Port St. Joe already is de-
voting 14 to 16 hours a day to his
job, and is in no mood for such fur-
ther annoyances, especially because
his employment situation is fairly
well stabilized on a year-round
basis.


Series of Woods Fires Keep
Volunteer Firemen Hopping

The St. Joe volunteer fire de-
partment has been on the run con-
siderably this week taking care of
woods fires.
The laddies were called out Mon-
day afternoon to place under con-
trol a flare-up near the A.' P. Wake-
field home of a smoldering swamp
fire between 16th Street and Wood-
ward Avenue where the city has
been clearing off undergrowth.
At 1:30- p. m. Tuesday they were
called out to fight another woods
fire that was threatening the boat-
house occupied by A. L. Ward's
cruiser on the canal near Highland
View.
Two hours later, at 3:30, a call
came in of another woods fire at
10th Street and Woodward Avenue,
which was goon' brought under con-
trol.
The department was called out
again at 12:05 p. m. Wednesday to
subdue a woods fire near the new
Methodist Church -which, had it got
well underway could have-done con-
siderable damage.

Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Costin left
Monday for a few days to be spent

La. They were accompanied by
their son Ashley, their small grand-

SMALL CLAIMS COURT
IS MIGHTY FINE IDEA
All residents of Gulf county are
urged to back up the Port St. Joe
Retail Merchants Association in its
move to present a local bill in the
coming session of the legislature to
establish a small claims court for
Gulf county, to be presided over by
the county judge.
With such a court, small accounts
can be reduced to judgment at a
small cost, without the hiring of at-
torneys. It will be cheaper not only
for the creditors, but also for the
debtors.


little or nothing for the sponsoring organization.
As one of them pointed out, the merchants are
touched for all of these-and more-for many of
the so-called "benefit" shows include programs in
which the businessman also must advertise.
"There is no surcease during the year," said
one. "And it isn't just us merchants-the public
is also being appealed to continually to support
this or that. While most of the benefits are solen-
did in themselves, there are so doggone many of
them that we just can't afford to give any large
amount to all of them, and consequently the ones
that could do the most good aren't getting thue
support they need."
They both agreed that something should be
done about the matter, but didn't know exactly
what. The editor suggested that perhaps the Re-
tail Merchants Association might set u,) a com-
mittee to pass upon such matters, and if found
to be worthy, give its approval. If not, turn
thumbs down.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Mrs. E. P. Scholz, district direc-
tor, gave some very helpful hints
on landscaping in her talk to the
Garden Club on March 15. Planning
is the first and most important
thing, she emphasized, and making
a sketch on paper will save a lot of
moving of shrubs later on. Imagine
you are painting a picture, using
house, shrubs, etc. The boundary
line is the franie or background for
other plantings. Use mostly ever-
greens in the shrubbery border and
give depth by variety of shrubs. Do
not plant in a straight line. By plan-
Sning you can have blooms the year
around in Florida.
Use a simple foundation planting.
Don't smother the house with
shrubs. Let the foundation of the
house show to ;the ground in places.
Choose low-growing shrubs for un-
der windows and taller ones at the
corner, with special emphasis at
the door.
Leave a large lawn space in front
and don't clutter up the lawn with
flower beds or specimen plants. An
uncluttered lawn is prettier and
more restful.

It pays to advertise-try it!

State Welfare Will Be

Hot Legislative Issue

Number of Other Pertinent Matters
Will Occupy Time of
Lawmakers

By J. KENNETH BALLINGER
Hot fires still are burning on the
state welfare question as the 1951
Florida legislature prepares to meet
in Tallahassee next Monday. Led
by such outspoken members as
James A. Haley of Sarasota, many
are expecting to make a bid for
opening the welfare rolls to inspec-
tion, to curb the care of illegiti-
mates, to make fathers of such chil-
dren more responsible, to put liens
on property'of oldsters and to make
children support their parents when
able. 4
Another hot fire has been built
by organized registered nurses of
the state. They want a state board,
thus attacking the practical nurse
and closing the gates in Florida to
seasonal practice by nurses from
other states.
Members of the legislature so far
are reluctant to discuss Represen-
tative Charles 0. Andrews' whole-
sale reorganization of state govern-
ment, cutting 127 boards and bu-
reaus to 27. At bay on the proposal
is the entire state setup, led by the
cabinet, which sees in the Andrews
plan a serious threat to much pat-
ronage.
Under the plea of wiping out
black market baby possibilities, a
bill will be introduced requiring all
babies offered for adoption to come
through licensed child-placing agen-
cies.
Dade county proposes a central
bureau of investigation, to tie all
police and sheriffs together in hunts
for major criminals.
Representative Alex MacWilliam
of Vero Beach plans to establish
state-wide speed limits for automo-
biles.
Senators Shands, Pearce, Crary
and McArthur have met to decide
how to tighten up the sales tax law,
bring in more money and yield less
pain. Senator Shands was put to
bed by his physician shortly after
to recover from exhaustion brought
on by his work on pending legisla-
tion.

(Continued from page 1)
fishing many of the state boards,
but argued that such efforts by the
legislature always meet with storms
of protest from supporting groups
back home.
"The throttling .of private enter-
prise by national, state and local
governments is a most disturbing
thing," he said. "Everyone wants
the lawmakers to build a fence
around his own profession and make
it practically impossible for anyone
else to get in."
In commenting on the present
welfare setup, Tapper said that'
"one of the Worst abuses of our na-
tional welfare program is its se-
crecy. If oi r state doesn't want to
handle the federal welfare program
along with'the monies which the
government 'provides, then its peo-
ple should ,tell Washington to keep
its rule book and its money also."
In conclusion, he asked and in-
Vited all citizens to give him their
wishes and views concerning the
legislative session which convenes
next Tuesday.

Fish Drink
Repent experiments by two zoolo-
gists at the University of Chicago
showed that fish drink. The scien-
tists put tiny particles of a radio-
active chemical in the tanks of
fresh-water fish. After a few hours,
the chemical was found in the intes-
tines of the fish. To get there, they
must have swallowed it while
drinking.
