Annual Rotary-Kiwanis

Ball Game Wednesday

Big Names In Lineups of Braves
and Cubs Promise Spec-
tacular Tilt

By HARRY McKNIGHT
Next Wednesday afternoon at 4
o'clock in Centennial Ball Park, the
Rotary Braves and the Kiwanis
Cubs will square off. for their an-
nual feud on the diamond arena.
Last spring the Cubs "wuz robbed"
and they are out to even things if
the good (?) right flipper of that
fugitive from the Bums, Magidson,
holds out. His teammates will give
him one more chance to redeem
himself. A newcomer to the Cub
squad, Gannon Buzzett, may prove
to be a dark horse-they are al-
ready anticipating plenty of char-
liehorses.
Tentative lineups are as follows:
Cubs-Killer Creech, ss; Limpy
Lawrence, 2b; Blisters Blount, 3b;
Scratches Smith, If; Crawlin' Cul-
pepper, rf; Amnesia Anderson, cf&
Hump Hannon, lb; Muffin Magid-
son, p; Blooper. Bellows, c.
Braves-Grunt Greer, ss; Joltin'
Joe Mira, 2b; Bumps Buttram, 3b;
Rusty Gate Ramsey, If; Arthritis
Anderson, rf; BB "Eyes" Conklin,
cf; Jaded Jones, lb; Bruises Barke,
p; Hoppy Harris, c.
The public is urged to be on hand
to see what probably will be the
most outstanding game of the 1951
baseball season-or any other sea-
son, for that matter.

Shark'Diamond Team

Is Playing Good Ball

Fans Urged To Turn Out Tuesday
To See First Night Game
for Local School

The St. Joe Shark diamond ag-
gregation won from Carrabelle 4-0
and lost a thriller to the Florida In-
dustrial School team 11-10 during
the past week's baseball activity.
Hildreth Dunlap, brilliant right-
hander, missed baseball's no hit
hall of fame by the margin of a
twisting hopper 'to the mound. Ma-
these, Carrabelle pitcher, beat the
throw to' first to spoil the Highland
View youngster's bid for a no-hitter.
Duinlap fanned eight and did not
walk a man in baffling the Mullet
hitters. Dunlap, Chatham and Phil-
yaw led the Sharks at the plate.
Freeman and Hudson played good
ball in the field,, .;,,..
Florida Industrial School handed
the Sharks their first defeat on thb.
local diamond.this year. Phil Chat-
ham started on the hill for the lo-
cals, but received loose support in
the field. His, wildness, plus the
timely hitting of Ennis, F. I. S.
pitcher, staked the visitors, to a
seven-run lead going into the last
inning. The Sharks staged a thrill-
ing rally for six runs,'but saw their
chances vanish as Bob Gibson
failed in three attempts to squeeze
the tieing run across the plate.
Chatham and Philyaw hit the ball

Saints the first four innings, allow-
ing two runs. Eddie Meharg took
over the mound from there on and
held the visitors scoreless.
Navy chalked up one in the first
and another in the third, which was
the extent of their scoring,'although
they threatened several times.
The Saints made three counters
in the third when, with two -out,
Bennie Burke was, walked, Elmore
Godfrey singled to send Burke to
third, Marion Craig pounded out a
two-bagger to send Burke home,
and Leonard Belin took two bases

Hand Serves As Spare

Part ln Korean Battle

Sgt. Herring Keeps Up Communi-
cations After Radio Aerial
Is Broken

The following article appeared in
the April 4 issue of "The Front
Line," daily mimeographed paper
of the 3d Infantry Division which
is in Korea:'
"Sgt. James C. Herring, Hq. Bat-
tery Liaison Section, 39th Field Ar-
tillery Battalion, is a man who
knows the importance of keeping of
communications, especially when
enemy mortars are coming in on
the infantrymen.
"Recently, while the-infantrymen
were attacking a hill, the aerial of
his radio snapped in two. After the
aerial broke, the enemy started
dropping mortars on the infantry
and pinned them down. Herring_,
was given the enemy mortar posi-
tions by the infantry and told to
call for artillery to be placed on-the
mortars.
"Herring stood up, held the two
pieces of the aerial together and
called out the positions to the ar-
tillery while the Chinks were still
dropping mortars. The hand-to-hand
aerial hookup worked and the ar-
tillery shells came screaming in on
the Chinese mortars. When the bar-
rage lifted, the infantrymen had
easy going, thanks to Sgt. Herring,
his ingenuity and the men and how-
itzers of the 39th." -

, Among a number of bills intro-
duced in the legislature last Friday
to curb gambling and illegal prac-
tices was one by Representative
George Tapper of this city which
would completely'abolish legal rao,
ing. It calls for repeal of Chapter
550 of the Florida statutes which
provides for the state racing com-
mission and legalizes racing.
Racing now brings the state $14,-
000,000 annually. Part of the racing
tax money goes into the fund for
old age assistance, while another
part- is distributed evenly between
the 67 counties of the state and is
a major source of revenue in the
smaller counties. To date this year
Gulf county has received $70,000
from racing; last year's handout
amounted to $82,400.
Tapper said the house already
had gone on record as opposed to
crime and illegal gambling. But he
said if the lower chamber "really
wants to clean up this situation;
this bill will do it."
Rep. Tapper tried to speed up
consideration on the measure by
having it placed directly ha the cal-
endar without reference to com-
mittee. Instead it was referred to
the judiciary C committee and by
voice vote referred also to the com-
mittee on finance and taxation,
which action virtually assures that
'it will not' be returned to the cal-
endar.

What Happened Last Week In Tallahassee
By J. KENNETH BALLINGER


The legislative crime drive is
moving slowly along, high-lighted
last week by the first public hear-
ings of the Haley committee of the
house to hear testimony on possible
corruption of public officials.
The house has passed a bill mak-
ing it illegal to print or distribute
advance information about racing,
including selections and other data
in daily newspapers. It also has
passed a bill requiring hotel and
'beverage licenses to be canceled
where gamblers are caught in ho-
tels or 'bars.
The third crime bill to pass
the house sets up an enforcement
agency for the railroad commission
and attorney general's office to en-
force the bookie law. None of the
11-bill series introduced earlier by
Rep. Perry Murray and others to
hem up and punish gamblers has
yet been passed.
The house and the senate each
has rejected the idea of a "little
Kefauver" committee to probe the
crime wave between sessions. "Too
many headlines," concluded one


member.
Up To People On 18-Year-Old Vote
The house has agreed to let the
people vote on whether 18-year-olds
shall vote. On the cry of men like
Rep. Francis Williams of Citrus-
"Old enough to die for this country,
old enough to vote!"-the house
overrode objections of the conserv-
ative element. The same measure
has been favorably reported by a
senate committee. McAlpin of Ham-
ilton, Hathaway of Charlotte and
Johnson of Hillsborough introduced
the measures.
Senate Okehs Expanded Sales Tax
An expanded 3% sales tax, to
raise an additional $17,500,000 a
year from the consumers of Flor-
ida, has passed the senate and soon
will be considered in the house if
the finance and taxation committee
lets it out.
The bill resulted from a summer's
work by a committee under Sena-
tor W. A. Shands of Gainesville,
and removes previous exemptions
from such articles as candy, cloth-
ing, farm equipment and long-term

rentals. An amendment by Senator
James Moore of Sebring added
newsprint to the list of things now
to be taxed. In the house it is ex-
pected to have a rough passage-if
it goes through at all.
This is the first major money bill
of this session. The house already
had passed a bill to continue the
1949-50 appropriations act, due to
expire in July, if no new bill is
agreed on this session. However, a
senate committee killed this house
bill. If the house now buries the
sales tax amendment, the two
houses will be heading for the
stalemate many predict.
Would Make Welfare Rolls Public
Welfare critics have been advised
by -Senator James A. Franklin of
Fort Myers that any lawful body or
legislative group can inspect wel-
fare rolls, and see who is drawing
the $50,000,000 a year spent, for
needy old folks, the blind, and de-
pendent children.
The senate is considering a mea-
sure to require the list of the needy
blind to be opened to the Florida
Council for the Blind so they can
know who to help, and to the state
highway patrol to lift driving li-
censes of those drawing blind re-
lief.
Already approved is the memorial

Our Country Right or Wrong

EARS STOPPED UP WITH PORK
Memories are short, and facts and figures are
easily forgotten. The chances are that most Am-
ericans have only a hazy idea of just how much
the cost of their government has risen in the
past 10 years. So the following figures should
come as a high-voltage shock:
In 1940 it cost a little more than $75,000,000 to
run the department of commerce. In 1950 the
bill was $863,000,000.
In 1940 the department of the interior lived on
a budget of $1,385,000. Last year's bill was close
to $568,500,000.
In 1940 the state department worried along on
less than $21,000,000. In 1950 it managed to get
rid of more than $361,000,000.
In 1940 the taxpayers supported the depart-
ment of labor to the tune of some $18,500,000.
Last year the assessment was $257,000,000.


In 1940, it must be remembered, the late Pres-
ident Roosevelt had been in office two terms,
and the government had been greatly expanded.
Yet now the cost of running the major depart-
ments under your friend (he ain't ours) Harry
Truman make the 1940 budgets look like pea-
nuts!
What can we do about it? Well, if the
people of Port St. Joe and other communities all
over the nation have any sense of their own self-
interest, they will demand an end to this extrava-
gance of the federal government that is threaten-
ing to bankrupt the country. And if there is suf-
ficient volume to the demand it will finally be
heard by our congressmen, senators and bureau-
crats who in the past have had their ears stopped

Why Does An Editor
Call Himself 'We'?

(The following article was pub-
lished in the Williamstown Advo-
cate more than 100 years ago.)
A Country Editor-Is one who
reads newspapers, selects miscel-
lany, writes articles on all subjects,
sets type, reads proof, folds papers
and sometimes carries them, prints
jobs, runs on errands, cuts wood,
works in the garden, talks to all his
patrons who call, patiently receives
blame for a thousand things that
never were and never can be done,
gets little money, has scarce time
and materials to satisfy his hun-
ger, or to enjoy the quiet of na-
ture's sweet restorer, sleep, 'and es-
teems himself peculiarly happy if
he is not assaulted and battered by
some unprincipled demagogue who
loves puppet shows and hires the
rabble with a treat of cider brandy
to vote him into some petty office.
A man who does all this, and
much more not here recorded, you
will know must be a rather busy
animal; and as he performs the
work of so many different persons,
he may justly be supposed their'
representative, and to have an in-
disputable right, when speaking of
himself, to use the plural number,
and to say "we" on all occasions
and in all places.

"Poor Relations"
The nearest relatives of the beau-
tiful birds of paradise are the plain
crows. Actually, the simplest of
paradise birds, the manucodes, do
resemble small glossy crows. The
fancier species, however, such as
the King, the Sicklebill, and the
Magnificent, with their multicol-
ored and fantastically shaped plum-
age, seem a world away from their
dull appearing cousins.

Seaweed Held Valuable
To Economy of Florida
Is Superior Fertilizer and Can Sup-
ply Important Nutrients
for Livestock
That pesky seaweed washing up
on Florida's shores to annoy swim-
mers could give a healthy shot in
the arm to the state's economy.
Seaweed is loaded with minerals,
making it highly valuable as ferti-
lizer, stockfeed and a source of com-
mercial chemicals. So reports Dr.
Robert H. Williams of the Univer-
sity of Miami marine laboratory in
-a booklet published by the state
conservation board.
Florida's vast stretches of shal-
low coastal waters contain 408
known kinds of sea plants, most of
which are very simple plants called
algae. About 12 types are commer-
cially useful.
Up to five tons of floating sea-
weed have been measured in a mile
squar area at the edges of the
Gulf stream, but much less is found
nearer Florida. It can be found
washed up on beaches after storms,
netted in deeper waters by trawls,
or caught in stop nets placed in
tidal currents.
Production of seaweed fertilizer
offers a good field for new small
businesses where it is found in suf-
ficient quantity.
Since seaweed is an excellent
source of major fertilizer elements
nitrogen, potassium and phos-
phorus-it is a superior product for
Florida, where much of the soil is
seriously deficient, says the univer-
sity scientist.
Individuals who have gathered
their own seaweed and tried it on
soils for vegetable, flower and fruit
growing report excellent results. It
can 'be spread in foot-thick layers
and sprayed with fresh water to re-
move surface salt, then applied di-
rectly to lawns, gardens, shrubbery
and trees.
It's better to cover seaweed with
a layer of sand or soil to accelerate
rotting and to trap the unpleasant
odors of rotting.. Dr. Williams re-
ports it to be superior to many
chemical fertilizers because its or-
ganic matter aids in keeping mois-
ture and minerals in the upper level
of the soil where plant roots can
absorb them. Nor does seaweed
have the undesirable weed seeds
and fungus spores found in manure.
Seaweed can supply important
addition to the diet of dairy and
range cattle, chickens and other
animals. It probably would be'mixed
with other feed materials, such as
sugar cane or beet by-products, be-
fore being fed to animals.
Seaweed, which is used for hu-
man food in the orient, may be
compared to green vegetables for
nutrition, as it is a good source of
minerals, vitamins and bulk needed
for intestinal action.
Chief commercial products made
from Florida seaweed are agar and
algin.
Florida's salt water resources,
worth an estimated $200,000,000 an-
nually, may get an additionalsboost,
thanks to the lowly seaweed.
Vessels equipped with radar can
detect obstacles as close as 80
yards.

Cigaret Tax Fund Is

Fixed In House Bill

A bill to earmark specifically
cigaret tax money which' now goes
to the state tuberculosis board was
introduced Tuesday by Representa-
tive George Tapper. It provides
these specific appropriations of
.the funds, to begin November 1,
1951:
(1) $1,000,000 to be used for com--
pleting and equipping the tubercu-
losis hospitals at Tallahassee and
Tampa and the tuberculosis con-
valescent hospital at Marianna.
(2) $1,500,000 for building and
equipping a tuberculosis wing in
the state hospital at Chattahoo-
chee.
(3) $1,500,000 to the board of
commissioners of state institutions
to construct and equip additional
facilities at the Florida Farm Col-
ony for epileptic and feeble-minded
childl~n.
Beginning November 1. 1952, the
following appropriations would be
effected as the money became avail-
able:
(1) $1,500,000, Marianna hospital.
(2) $500,000, for Florida Farm


Colony.
(3) $2,000,000 to commissioners
of institutions to build and-remodel
facilities at Chattahoochee.
All moneys not needed to meet
specific appropriations would go
into the state general fund.
The cigaret funds now going to
the tuberculosis board are those
collected outside city limits.

NAVY LOSES

(Continued from page 1)
Burke and Godfrey popped out to
the catcher, Craig was walked and
Belin handed a deliberate walk in
order for the pitcher to get at Tom
Mitchell. But that was a big mis-
take, for Tommy came through with
a double to drive in Meharg, Craig
and Belin.
Neither team scored in the re-
maining innings, in fact, only one
man got as far as second and that
was Tommy Mitchell, who took an
extra base on an overthrow at first.
