A banquet honoring Mrs. Emma Saunders, worthy grand matron of Florida, Order of Eastern Star, was held Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock ' in the Episcopal parish house. Following the invocation by W. A. Roberts, associate patron of the local 0. E. S. chapter, Worthy Pa- tron George Core, toastmaster for the occasion, introduced the grand officers. Mrs. Saunders responded with a brief talk, after which Wor- they Matron Onnie Greer delivered a brief welcome which was re- sponded to. by Hazel Gylnquist, past grand Ada. Bessie Roberts, associate matron, gave the invita- tion' to the Masonic hall for the of- ficial visit of the grand matron. Soft music was rendered during the evening by Maxine Swain of the Chipley chapter and Lee Shores of Cottondale. The honor guest table was most attractive with an arrangement of yellow 'glads and miniature may- poles. Other tables were centered with bpWls of nasturtiums. The traditional pines were placed at vantage points in the room. On retiring to the Masonic hall, a beautifully decorated room of spring flowers and Florida green- ery met the, eyes of all; lovely ar- rangements of glads and lilies were in abundance. Trellises were placed in the east and entwined with yel- low roses and greenery. After introduction of the worthy grand matron and other grand offi- cerp, an impressive initiation cere- mony was held, at which time Mrs. J. T. Ricketson received the de- grees of the order. The worthy grand matron gave an interesting address and stressed the need of our nation getting back to God And the 0. E. S. as an order had to do its part in helping to bring this about. At the close of the chapter, re- rid a-Honored S. Chapter freshments of cake squares and iced drinks were served to about 70 members and guests present. Out-of-town guests and grand of- ficers were Mrs. Emma Saunders, W. G. M., and Mrs. Peggy B.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA A Ar -TWO ... .M 191 TE SA PR S ," _ What Happened Last Week In Tallahassee By J. KENNETH BALLINGER The legislature of Florida has paved the way for a $150,000,000 school building program, if the voters approve in 1952. Both sen- ate and house have completed ac- tion on the proposed constitutional amendment to earmark a part of the automobile license tag money to pay for school bonds. This is the No. 2 item on the school program for this session, the first being an increase in the state support of common schools from $99,000,000 during the current two years to $120,000,000 for the next two. The agreement to a change in the constitution to authorize school bonds backed by a pledge of money from auto tags is considered by school people as the biggest single advance in education since the min- imum foundation program law of 1947. Would Stop Pay for School 'Frills' Both houses of the legislature have agreed to stop state payment for certain educational "frills," but they are miles apart on how to do it. Separate, bills have passed each house, one to stop payment for kin- dergartens, junior colleges and auto driver education courses. The other eliminates new kindergartens, new junior colleges and all driver edu- cation .In addition, the house voted to eliminate all summer programs. One other education bill is being polished up as complete. It requires students getting scholarships to be- come tetlchers to 'train for those" grades in which there is the great- est lack of trained teachers. Patriotism Confused Patriotism continues confused in the Florida legislature. The house appropriations committee cut a re- quested civil defense appropriation from $460,000 to $50,000, indicating eiltef the" do hot believe the 'S'. faces danger, or they have their minds on other things. A bill to require common school students to be taught Americanism is bottled up in a hostile senate committee, after passing the house. A similar bill to require American- ism. to be taught in state-supported colleges and universities died in a house committee.' Chief opposition was from school blocs, resentful of *"meddling" in their choice of studies. Two New Congressional Districts Two new congressional districts, 7th and 8th, will come into being as a result of legislative work. The bill, which has found favor in both houses, leaves the 15-county 3rd dis- trict intact, carves out the 8th dis- trict from, north-central counties, reaching from Madison to Nassau. The new 7th district will. center around Pollk county, with several others. Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando are counted on to over- balance the Republican sentiment in Pinellas county, in the revised 1st district. Duval and Clay make' up one district, Dade and Monroe another. Florida gains two more congress- men from its increased population. Considering Revenue Bills Both houses will 'be neck-deep in figures this week, as they start ironing out differences in the big .two-year spending 'bills for state agencies paid from the general fund. The frugal house committee sent out a bill calling for $244,000,000 in the next two years, which is $8,- 000,000 less than recommended by the state budget board. Largest item is for common schools. They hoped for $120,000,000; were given $112,000,000 in the house bill. The senate version is following, and with four weeks yet to go, this toughest problem of each session may be worked out to the satisfac- tion of the taxpayers before the dying hours of the session. Utilities Would Pay for Regulation A bill to tax all public utilities for the cost of their own regulation has been introduced into the sen- ate by its finance and taxation com- mittee, following legislative ap- proval of the Dowda bill to put pri- vately owned electric and gas com- panies under state railroad and pub- lic utilities commission regulation. The D6wda bill, now in the hands of the governor, had no provision for paying the increased cost of the new regulation. Bus and truck companies have paid fors regulation since 1931 thru mileage taxes. Other utilities pay a gross receipts tax for the support of state government, but not di- rectly for their own regulation. Sales Tax Bill Embalmed What has happened to the re- vised sales tax which breezed so ,blithely through the senate, prom- ising to provide $17,500,000 more per year for state government? Answer: The revised sales tax iS being embalmed in the house fi- nance and taxation committee, with a leisurely series of hearings scheduled for this week, and pos- sibly a swift death stroke from the committee at the end.- The house leaders have vowed 322 Monument Avenue that no new taxes shall pass. The same group controlled the iron- fisted appropriation bill just re- leased, and which can pay for state government, they believe, without new taxes. It will take a major house revolt, not'at this time in the making, for the house to change its mind and follow the senate into more liberal treatment of state in- stitutions. Measure Would Restrict Sale of Many Exeryday Items To Pharmacies Only The so-called uniform pharmacy bill, Senate Bill No. 512 and House Bill No. 619, now before the Florida legislature, defines "drug" as any- thing intended to affect the struc- ture or any function of the body of man or animal, including cosmetics, toilet articles, toothpaste, aspirin, talcum powder, etc. It would pro- I hibit the sale of any of these ar- ticles, including patent medicines, by any store which is not licensed as a pharmacy. This means that no store except a pharmacy as registered under this bill could sell any cosmetics, any toothpaste, any rubbing alcohol, any vitamin tablets, any laxatives. Opponents of the measure point out that this bill would, if it be- comes law, require general stores in small communities either to stop his garden, one weighing al even selling many of the articles they pound and the other a pound and a now offer, or quality as a pharmacy, half.

Our Country Right or Wrong IT COULD HURT THE POLITICIANS There have been a number of bills introduced in the present session of the legislature endeavor- ing to regulate newspapers in various ways, and the latest is one by-Representative Dowda to compel newspapers to charge the same for po- litical advertising as for any other commercial advertising, the cry being that "the exorbitant rates charged by some newspapers for political advertisements have made it impossible for many competent and deserving persons to make an ef- fective campaign for public ooice without first accepting large campaign contributions." While the measure has no relationship to elec-, tions (normally it would have gone to the com- mnittee on public printing), it has been reported favorably by the election committee, which isL headed by Representative George Tapper.

BOY SCOUT NEWS TIM ELDER, Troop Scribe Boy Scout Troop 47 held a green- bar patrol meeting Thursday night Of last week at the Scout Hut. Our scoutmaster, J. T. Simpson, was in charge. Mr. Roberts, one of our commissioners, was also present. Boys present were Earl McCormick, one of the senior patdol leaders, Raymond Lawrence, Leroy Gainous, Donald Ramsey and Timothy El- der, patrol leaders. Purpose of the meeting was to prepare the lead- ers for the next month's work. The troop has been split into four patrols headed by the older boys. Each patrol consists of eight boys who have separate meetings during the scout meeting. Each month will present a new theme in the troop. During May we will do our best to catch up and get a good record of what we have and need. During June the theme will. be "Camping," which is of prime importance in the game of scouting. It was decided that patrol lead- ers will meet with Scoutmaster 'Simpson the last Thursday of each month for discussion, and that the troop have a board-of-review the lasts Monday of each month. It is also planned to have at least one camping trip each month. We invite all persons interested in scouting to come to any of the regular Monday night meetings. Initiated Into Alpha Phi Omega Tommy Simpson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Simpson of this city, who Is attending Florida State Univer- sity, Tallahassee, was among 25 former Boy Scouts who were initi- ated into Alpha Phi Omega, na- tional service fraternity recently in- -stalled at FSU.
