Speaker Brings Story Two Injured As Scooter Of Missionary Work In Hits Hog on Highway Africa To Lochi Group Bible Classes of Baptist Church Hear Talk by Dr. Canning of Wewahitchka By HARRY McKNIGHT From far off Africa comes a mess- age of Christian devotion that would put many American Christians to shame. It is a message of childlike faith and love of God that has been instilled in the hearts of a heathen people by missionaries who have been sent to heal their bodies and help to save their souls by these same American Christians. "But why," someone asks, "must people waste all that time and money on illiterate and simple- minded people who were meant to be subservient and looked down upon?" The answer is clear and di- rect: Aside from the fact that these heathen people possess a form of culture and logic that is. amazing to even the most learned, our Chris- tian missionaries employ one of Christ's best known admonitions, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my breth- ren, ye have done it unto me." (Matt. 25:40). Dr. Harold Canning of Wewahit- chka presented such a picture to a fellowship gathering of 65 Baptists at the Port St. Joe Baptist Church Tuesday evening., After members of the Royal Hearts women's class and the men's Gideon Bible class and their families enjoyed a buffet 'dinner on the church grounds, they gathered in the basement to view films and hear the lecture presented by Dr. Canning, Baptist medical missionary, who recently returned from Nigeria, a British province lo- cated on the underside of the bulge of French West Africa, or some- -What similar to the location of Wa- kulla county in the Florida penin- sula. In a most intimate and appealing way, Dr. Canning drew aside the veil of mystery and unfolded to his audience a story of a people who are rapidly coming to know and love the God of the white man with a love that endures the hardships of a primitive life and the pain of (Continued on page 12) Unidentified Assailant -Beats While City Man, Marauder Beats Ralph Conner Over 'Head With Flashlight, Ren- I during Him Unconscious Mrs. Ralph Conner of White City was awakened Sunday night by the barking of their dog. She awakened her husband, who went out into the yard to see what the commotion was about. As Ralph went through the' gar- den gate at the rear of the lot, he was attacked from behind, his un- known assailant throwing an armI around his neck, literally lifting him off the ground. His flashlight was sized from his hand and used by the attacker to beat him about the head, rendering him uncon- scious for a short time. Sheriff Byrd Parker was called in to investigate the matter, and he found footprints spaced about five feet apart where the intruder had hurriedly left the premises. Mr. Conner informed The Star that he had no idea why this un- provoked attack was made upon him. The Conners make their home- with Mrs. Conner's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Avery. While riding on a scooter Tues- day night on the Wewahitchka highway, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Con- ner collided with a hog, seriously injuring both of. them. Mr. Conner was dismissed from the hospital Wednesday, but Mrs. Conner is in a more serious condition and may be suffering from a concussion of the brain, it is reported. Sheriff B. E. Parker, investigat- ing the accident, reports that he could not find the owner of the animal. State law now provides that own- ers of livestock roaming at large are liable for damages.

VISIT OUR Thursday Friday Saturday Monday April 12, 13, 14, 16 Offering from parterre planting of the nineties, modern dooryard gar. dens emphasize beauty of the flowers, and not a pattern. Homes, like those who live in them, have personalities. Those built in traditional architectural styles are dignified, and formal in appearance. Landscape architects 'used to tell us-that planting in the front yards of these homes should .be in harmony with this dignity. If planting could be compared to cloth- ing, then the house should face the public in formal attire; /- .. This sort of thinking put an end to flower beds in front yards. They were altogether too gay for their. :sedate background. Would you -dress for the street, as for a garden party, or tennis game? .Then grow :your flowers in the back yard, where :you could wear sports, clothes, and -romp around. For front yards the fashion devel- *oped of planting evergreens around the high foundations which then )prevailed, and this practice spread through the country, where former- ly evergreens had usually been seen only in cemeteries. A benefit of this fashion was that it made us familiar with the variety and beauty of evergreens, which are love i in form and color, and green -the year around, deserving of use in gardens wherever they are lo- cated. But times change, and ideas with -them. Traditional architectural styles have given way to functional design; millions of new homes have now been built without a thought of tradition. The attached garage, pic- ture windows, breeze-way, and low spreading ranch house construc- 'tion, produce a home unlike 'any traditional style since Babylon. The principle on which modern architecture is based is that com- fort and convenience in living are more important than a dignified, formal appearance to the passer- by. The house, you might say, takes off its frock coat and faces -the world in a sports shirt, sometimes wearing shorts. What sort of front yard planting would be in harmony with that sort of atmosphere? Surely, not the same formal, dig- nified treatment, that became com- monplace in the last. generation., Not a foundation planting for a house which has no visible founda- tion; not dignified sedateness, where the home expresses informality and comfort. Yet because fashions are often slow to change, many of these homes'have been planted in an out- moded, unsuitable manner, or what is worse, have not been planted at all. The solution of this problem which is rapidly being accepted, is the door-yard garden. This restores to, the front yard the flower beds and borders, which were there in the Victorian era. Then, flowers were often used to work out elaborate designs in beds of geometric shapes. Modern door- yard gardens are as simple as pos- sible in design, in order to center attention upon the beauty of the flowers. These are grouped in masses of one color, so arranged that each mfas harmonizes with and sets off the others, and all pro- vide a pleasing decoration for the house. The garden illustrated is a .;;-- ple arrangement of border plan .- ings for a small house where "'" walk leads from the private driv.-_ way to the front door. Both house and lot will be made to seem iari- er by this arrangement.

The typed copies of the bill, sent through the mail in plain envelopes -with an Atlanta, Ga., postmark, had no signature and were accompanied by no letter. They appeared to, be 'modeled on one of three press con- trol bills Gov. Herman Talmadge attempted unsuccessfully to get through the Georgia legislature. The measure would declare 'the newspaper, magazine and periodical -publishing business to be "clothed with a public interest and subject -to regulation by the state." The bill, in brief, reads: "If any newspaper, periodical or magazine published or circulated in this state shall print or publish any article, -news item, column or editorial, charging any citizen of this state with official or private misconduct, or publish any such news item, ar- ticle, editorial, column or other matter critical of any such citizen, such newspaper, magazine or peri- odical shall publish on the same page and in the same position and in the same type, and under head- lines of the same size, without cost any denial, refutation, answer or -explanation of any such charge pre- or other misconduct." The bill would provide a fine of $1000 plus a penalty of $100 for each day the rebuttal is not pub- lished. SENATOR CHARLEY JOHNS NAMED SENATE PRESIDENT Senator Charley E.

Our Country Right or Wrong LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reprinted from the Washington County News It appears that the editor of the Glen Ellyn, Ill., News knew what he was talking about. He said in a recent editorial that "letters to the editor are becoming extinct." A We had noticed that, too. The situation is much the same everywhere. About "two dozen home-town newspapers come across our editorial desk each week. None of them carry any genu- ine letters to the editor to speak of. "It could mean," suggests the Illinois editor, "that causes and effects are running so smoothly that no commentary has been needed to point out deficiencies and rough spots in local affairs." We doubt this. In Washington county, with its many groups of opposing viewpoints on various public matters, certainly things don't always run silk-smooth. In many cases, a citizen develops a very strong opinion about this or that (such as Fuller's fence law, the $1.00 pole fishing license, or consolidation of small county schools), but it just doesn't occur to him to write a letter about it. He tells his friends that he thinks Fuller has the wrong idea, or that he won't pay any dollar to pole fish, or that he thinks closing up the smaller schools is a wise, sensible plan. And he'll even argue with anybody who disagrees with him. But he usually lets it go at that. As the Glen Ellyn editor says, when a reader writes the editor, "many times the letter gives a behind-the-scene coverage that a news story has not included because of style restrictions. A more personal tone is injected into the report of an event by a letter to the editor." "Letters to the editor let the editor and the readers of the paper see which way the wind is blowing in affairs of interest and importance," this Illinois editor concludes. "Few people can bury their heads, ostrich-like, and turn their backs on current events, nor should they hesitate to publicize their convictions. It may take a few minutes, but the results are rewarding." For some time this situation has concerned us. Perhaps some of our readers don't know this. But we have the highest respect for a good, old-fash- ioned, strongly-worded letter filled with horse sense written to the editor. With each passing day President Harry Tru- man continues to demonstrate his lamentable lack of ability to serve as the chief executive of this nation.

It helped her so much that now Mrs. Hisel gives HADACOL to both of her children. Here is what Mrs. Hisel says: "My daughter has taken two bottles of HADACOL and she has been eating more than before and also sleeps better. I think HADA- COL is the best thing for children who do not have an appetite. My daughter is four years old. Before taking HADACOL my daughter complained of her stomach hurting her, and I got her a bottle of HADACOL and she says her stom- ach doesn't bother her any more. I think HADACOL is wonderful. I am also giving HADACOL to my three-year-old daughter." HADACOL Is So Effective An important thing about HAD- ACOL is that you get Vitamins B,, B2, Niacin and Iron in liquid form, which means that they are quickly absorbed and dispatched to the blood stream, ready to go right to work. HADACOL helps build up the hemoglobin content of the blood (when Iron is needed) to carry these precious Vitamins and Minerals to every part of your body.

Phones-888 and 389 T RFRIDAIL S GTY Vets Warned To Check Insurance Will Lose All Rights To Further GI Insurance If They Let Term Policies Expire Veterans of Port St. Joe and Gulf county whose first period of ser- vice in the armed forces began af- ter September 2, 1945, will lose all rights to any further GI insurance if they let their present term poli- cies expire. The veterans administration, in making t h i s announcement said these veterans must do one of two. things before their term policies ex- pire if they wish to retain national service life insurance thereafter un- der the present law. They are: (1) renew for another five-year term, or (2) convert to one or more of the six available permanent plans of NSLI. This requirement is contained in the NSLI Act of 1940, as amended, which stipulates that after dis- charge, only those who had active service between October 8, 1940, and September 2, 1945, may be granted new insurance. This means that if a veteran's first period of service began after September 2, 1945, and he permits his term policy to expire without renewing or converting, he cannot apply for new insurance unless he re-enters active service. Term NSLI policies issued before January 1, 1946, expire eight years from the date of issue. Term NSLI policies issued on or after January 1, 1946, 'expire five years from the date of issue. These expiration periods are sig- nificant for veterans whose first period of service began after Sep- tember 2, 1945, and who took out term NSLI while in service. If they took out their term policies before January 1, 1946, they have eight years from the date of issue to re- new or convert before the expira- tion of their policies. If they took out their term NSLI policies on or after January 1, 1946, they have only five years from the date of is- sue to renew or convert before ex- piration. There is still a third group af- fected by another date. This group includes those who took out NSLI term policies on or before January 1, 1948. These policies, under the present law, may not be renewed at their expiration, but they may be converted at any time prior to their MOTOR TUNE-UP Clean Plugs Clean and Adjust Points Set Timing Clean and Adjust Carburetor Clean and Adjust Fuel Pump Clean and Refill Air Cleaner Adjust Fan Belt Check Battery and Voltage Regulator ALL $ THIS d (PLUS Reline All Brakes & Balance Front Wheels expiration.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Y APRIL 13 1951 Phone 37 PGEIGH TH STR POR ST JOE GUL CONY FLRD FRDY APRI 13, 1951 Before Buying Plants From Outside Florida Be Sure About Them State Plant Board Inspector Warns That "Bargain Offers" May Not Be Bargains If you cannot obtain the kind of plants you want from a Florida nursery, be sure the out-of-state nursery from which you order them' is reliable and sells only inspected and certified plants. J. C. Goodwin, state plant board nursery inspector, offers that sug- gestion to all rural and city folks, and his reasons for making it merit the attention and consideration of anyone who is thinking about buy- ing nursery plants. First, he points out, some Florida people have been disappointed on "bargain" offers of plants, and, second, buying uninspected and uncertified plants from out-of-state concerns may result in bringing in a pest that is not here now. It is all right to buy plants from concerns in other states, provided the purchaser knows what he's get- ting and the plants are inspected and certified. There have been cases, however, in waich buyers ordered plants from other states and received, legally speaking, exactly the number and kinds they ordered, yet they were very much disappointed with what they got. Fodr this reason, the plant board inspector explains, the-buyer should know about the concern selling the plants and what to expect for his money. If he doesn't know these things, he is taking a chance on being very much disappointed. The purchaser also should be sure the plants he orders from out of the state will have a chance to grow in Florida, as numerous plants that grow fine in other states do not do well here. If he has any doubts about a particular species, it is advisable for him to see his county agent about it. The reason-avoiding the dan- ger of bringing pests into the state -is highly important to the pur- chaser and to the whole state. Several plant diseases that are present in some other states are not in Florida, and the plant board endeavors to bar these diseases by inspection and certification, but it needs the co-operation of others. An inspected and certified plant is free from such pests, but an un- inspected and uncertified plant may not be free of them. Thus, the buyer who investigates before he buys plants from out-of- state nurseries is protecting his own money and helping to protect Florida crops from pests that are not in the state now, Mr. Goodwin says. Animal Disease Prevention All efforts to stop the spread of contagious animal diseases should center on these three procedures: (1) Immediately isolate sick ani- mals from well ones. (2) Have the trouble diagnosed without delay. (3) After isolation quarters are va- cated, thoroughly disinfect and air them before occupancy by healthy stock.

JOE, FLORIDA DIrA, nILTRT Bills Would Compel Relatives To Aid In Support of Kinfolks First of Many Expected To Be Sub- mitted To Lawmakers To Cut State's Increasing Burden Two measures, the first of many anticipated, have been submitted to the legislature to aid in lightening the state's vast welfare burden. One would serve to limit aid to illegitimate children, and the other provides for civil proceedings which throw the entire burden of support of the indigent upon financially- able relatives. The former law sets out the re- sponsibility of the parents to chil- dren, regardless of whether the par- ent is a resident of the state, as long as the other state has "sub- stantially similar or reciprocal laws." The bill is detailed in out- lining the power of the courts and the methods of inquiry and evi- dence. The latter, a proposed lien law, simply provides that the real es- tate of any welfare recipient who dies is liable to lien by the state or county, or both. But the lien can- not exceed the amount which was received as welfare. The lien would not be enforceable on homestead property during the lifetime of a surviving spouse. FATHER OF BUCK BURGE IS CALLED BY DEATH Mr. and Mrs. Buck Burge were called to Blountstown last week by the serious illness of the former's father, S. B.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor Bill-If my husband is called upon to fight in another global conflict, I shall hold Presi- dent Truman personally account- able for his safety! He has removed the one man whom I think is most capable of instilling fear and respect into the Chinese. Efforts to appease the Communists will only encourage their greedy aggression. I should like to raise a loud cry in protest to the actions of our pres- ident in the removal of General Douglas MacArthur, a brilliant and indefatigable general who has ren- dered an immeasurable service to our country. We need more than ever to in- voke the blessings of our Maker under the questioned Truman. perilous guidance and sagacity of President Vehemently penned, ROYCE DICKENS. Tallahassee, Fla. Dear Bill-Thank you for your letter of March 31, in which you ex- pressed your views concerning cer- tain proposed legislation. I appreci- ate your taking the time to write me expressing these views, as only through this method do I know how the people of Gulf county feel about certain issues. The bill for increasing the county commissioners' salaries I under- stand has been withdrawn, and if the school board insists on their salary increases I will certainly at- tach a referendum to it which will allow the people of Gulf county to vote, and I am sure that it would be .defeated overwhelmingly. The small claims court bill I plan to introduce, and I am sure that it will pass. I would appreciate it if you would write me from time to time advis- ing me of your thoughts on any legislation you might be interested GEORGE G. TAPPER. Palatka, Florida.

This is identical with one presented the senate by Senator Amos Lewis of Marianna. The bill provides a salary of $10,- 000 yearly for each judge. The state will continue to pay its present amount of $7500, with the remain- der being paid by the counties in proportion to population.

SPEAKER BRINGS STORY (Continued from page :1) pestilence, whom- they consider it a blessing to be able to sit on a hard floor of clay or concrete, wracked with pain, and worship with fervor and complete faith. Dr. Canning built his splendidly- equipped hospital with Baptist mis- sion funds in the land of the Ur- hobo tribe, among whom he did the most of his work, although he named many other tribes with which he became acquainted, such as the Yourbas, Kwale Iboes, Ben- ins, and the dreaded Hausea or Moslem tribe. "There are more and more Bap- tist hospitals being built in Africa, but the surface has hardly been scratched," concluded Dr. Canning. "Never fear that your missionary money is being wasted, for every penny of it is being spent to the very best advantage. Who can tell but that these same primitive peo- ple may some day be the ones to carry the gospel of Christ for a civ- ilized world that might well have destroyed itself with atomic power? These people thank you with their hearts for helping to bring Chris- tianity to them."
