County Boards Would

Publish Expenditures

Under Legislative Act

Bill Dropped In Legislative Hopper
By Tapper Would Let People
Know Where Money Goes

For some time past neither the
Gulf county school board nor the
board of county commissioners
have been publishing a list of their
expenditures, and consequently the
taxpayers of the county have had
no idea of how much money is be-
ing spent by the two boards nor
- where it goes.
SThis matter would be remedied
-by a bill introduced last Friday in
the legislature by Representative
George Tapper providing that the
board of county commissioners and
the board of public instruction of
,Gulf county publish minutes of all
meetings and a list of all experidi-
tures. The bill also provides that
the matter shall be passed upon by
voters of the county.
The act, in full, follows:
."The board of county commis-
.sioners and the board of public in-
struction of Gulf county shall pub-
lish.,minutes of each meeting with-
in five days after such meeting,
and before the 10th day of each
month shall publish a list of all ex-
penditures for the .previous month,
showing the voucher. number, the
date, to whom paid, and the amount
paid. All such publications shall be
in a newspaper of general circula-
tion published in the county.
"This act shall bE~ore effeui\ve
upon being raitfied and-approved
by a majority of the electors of
Gulf county voting at an election to
be held for that purpose on or be-
fore October 1, 1951, and which
the county commissioners of Gulf
county are hereby required to call
and conduct."

Garden Club To Have
Display of Daylilies

The Port St. Joe Garden Club will
have a display of daylilies in the
show window of the St. Joe Furni-
'ture & Appliance Company today,
both arrangements and specimens.
Daylilies are the answer to the
flower growers' prayers in Port St.
Joe, as they will thrive in any type
of soil, can "take it" when there is
no rain, and have a long blooming
season-from early March until
fall.
The color range of daylilies runs
from pale pink to so deep a.red as
to be almost black, as well as the
familiar yellows. They are inexpen-
sive, multiply rapidly and make a
delightful addition to any garden.
Stop by John Blount's store to-
Sday,and see these daylilies.

TAPPER'S
LEGISLATIVE

TIDBITS
By REP. GEORGE TAPPER
I y---'----. I

Tallahassee, May 23 -The con-
ference committee,has been ap-
pointed by the house and senate to
work out the differences in the gen-
eral appropriation;. bill and we
should have some report the later
part of this week. As the bill now
stands, there is approximately ten
to eleven million dollars difference.
A bill which I introduced this
week pertains to the& publication of
minutes and expenditures of the
board of county commissioners and
county school board,; also, at the
request of the school board, I of-
fered a salary bill which would pay
them $50 per month.; Both of these
bills carry a referendum and the
people will have an opportunity to
vote on them in October.
The appropriation bill for $10,-
000 for Constitution Park has been
reported favorably by the house
committee on appropriations and is
now on the calendar.
It appears that I am going to
have to introduce a bill doing away
with closed season on mullet in
Gulf county, since the surrounding
counties of Franklin, Wakulla and
Bay have introduced bills doing
away with the closed season in
their counties. It would be foolish
for Gulf county to remain closed:
and, our neighboriifg counties re-
main open. I am attelhpting to have
these representatives withdraw the
bills.
The house has passed a bill to
allow recipients of old age assist-
ance to have a little garden, a cow
and some chickens. Also, if they
can do part-time work, they will be
allowed to do this without interfer-
ence with their pensions.
The house has also passed a bill
creating a new department of pub-
lic welfare, set up new rules and
regulations, which is an effort, to
do away with the chislers who are
now on the rolls and who are not
entitled under the law to'receive
aid.
The Anderson new election code
has passed the house. This estab-
lishes a new system in the election
of county, state and federal offi-
cials.
The house has also passed a bill
to establish a board of public nurs-
ing for licensed registered nurses,
practical nurses, midwives and
other types of nurses. This bill will
in no way affect those who have
been doing casual nursing.

Marianna To Meet
Saints Here Sunpay

The editor having been out of the
city over the week-end we failed to
see the Sunday baseball game here
with Bonifay and have been unable
to find anyone who did see it. We
did learn that the score was 16 to
5 in favor of the Saints and that
Eddie Meharg pitched a wonderful
game.
We also managed to discover that
St. Joe dropped the Thursday tilt
to Bonifay in that Bity 'by a count of
6 to 5.
St. Joe was scheduled to play in
Marianna last night, with the Jack-
son count team coming here Sun-
day for, the return game.

Propose New Plan

To Collect Sales Tax

Merchants Would Pay In Advance
By Purchasing Books
of Stamps

A prepaid stamp plan for collec-
tion of Florida's sales tax has been
introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative V. A. Williams Jr., of
Seminole county which he calcu-
lates would save the state $750,000
yearly in collection costs.
The proposal provides for mer-
chants to pay the tax in advance
by purchasing books of tax stamps
in various denominations from the
state comptroller.
When the consumer makes a pur-
chase, the dealer would take the
appropriate sized stamp from his
book, tear it in two and give half to
the purchaser. This would be for
cancellation of the stamp, and nei-
ther dealer nor purchaser would be
required to keep his portion of the
stamp.
It is contended by Williams that
it would eliminate the bookkeep-
ing now done by merchants in mak-
ing their report to the comptroller.

Voters Will Pass On
Pay for School Board

Representative George G. Tapper
Monday introduced a local bill in
the legislature providing for sal-
aries for members of the county
school board and mileage.
The measure, submitted at the
request of members of the local
school board, would provide $50 a
month salary and 10 cents a mile
traveling expenses.
However, at the request of The
Star, Representative Tapper added
a string to the bill which puts the
matter up to a vote of the people
of the county at an election to be
held not later than November 5 of
this year.
The pay is retroactive to July 1,
and if approved, will replace the
$10 a meeting for 18 meetings an-
nually allowed board members as
compensation under the minimum
foundation law.

Miscellaneous Shower
Miss Lenohr Brown, lovely bride-
elect, was the inspiration for a mis-
cellaneous shower held in the Epis-
copal parish house last Friday eve-
ning. Hostesses for the affair were
Mrs. George Suber, Mrs. Walter
Johnson, Mrs. Richard Kurth and
Mrs. R. H. Brinson.
The guests were greeted by Mrs.
Suber and Mrs. Brinson, after which
they registered in the bride's book,
which was in charge of Mrs. John-
son. Mrs. Kurth served punch from
the bride's table, which was over-
laid with a linen cut-out cloth, the
crystal bowl being encircled with
cape jasmine while a. low crystal
.bowl of shasta daisies and Queen
Anne's lace graced. the other end,
The gifts were beautifully dis-
played on tables covered with white
linen cloths. The hostesses pre-
sented the honoree with china-din-
ner plates in her chosen pattern.
Miss Brown chose for this occa-
sion a dress of lavender dimity over
net. Her corsage of gladoli and
fern was presented by the hostesses.
Delicious refreshments of punch,


cakes with miniature spun sugar
flowers, and mints were served.

son. Points brought out were the
importance of abiding in Him thru
prayer, Bible study, stewardship
and good works, and accepting the

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Try some brightly colored foli-
age plants to enliven summer gar-
dens. A rainbow of colors is found
in the common coleus, since mod-,
ern breeders have improved exist-
ing strains. The coleus prefers some
shade and plenty of water. The
sun-loving Joseph's coat, alteran-
thera, is useful for edging a border
or in a window box.
Don't forget the tall, dark red
and bronze foliaged cannas, which
add to the tropical effect.
For a shady spot, the variegated
plantain lily is prized for its low,
leafy clumps of green and white.
Fancy-leaved caladiums are be-
coming more and more popular.
These bulbs multiply rapidly and
are of the easiest culture. They pre-
fer a porous, sandy soil and hot
weather. To keep growth lush, wa-
ter frequently. You can enjoy reds,
whites, pinks and variations of
these colors with green, gray and
straw-colored mottling.

Our Country Right or Wront

FEE SYSTEM ABOLITION
At long last a move is underway to abolish the
outmoded, expensive and inefficient fee system
of Florida and place all county officers on a
salary basis.
A bill providing fbr just this has been intro-
duced in the legislature, and provides for the
county fee officers such as the sheriff, justice of
peace, constables, county judge, county clerk,
assessor and tax collector to pay their receipts
into the county's general fund. Under the meas-
ure the legislature would provide by general law
of statewide application upon a reasonable class-
ification, the salaries, expenses and compensa-
tion paid to all county officers.
Under the present system, one of the greatest
wa.stes is in operation of offices. Under the pres-
ent setup most fee officers may incur almost any
amount of expense within the realms of reason.
There is little or no check on buying equipment,

Gaskin -Taunton
The wedding of Miss Murnice
Taunton, daughter of Mrs. C. C.
Taunton of this city, to Roy Fitz-
gerald Gaskin, son of Judge and
Mrs. Gaskin of Blountstown, was


hiring employes, etc., as long as the fees of the
office meet the expense. Of course, the taxpayer
loses, as surplus fees would go back to the county
if expenses were not so great.
Most states have long ago gotten away from
the fee system, and let us hope that Florida, too,
will do away with the practice.

FLORIDA'S HISTORIC SITES
The monetary value placed on the numerous
historic and archaeological sites located within
the boundaries of our state is decidedly a sec-
ondary consideration to their importance as an
expression of dignity and prestige of Floridians.
-' The state of Florida is not made up of the
sweep of beaches or the pine-clad plains and
hills which they encompass, but of the 2,500,000
persons who now make this area their home.
Floridans,, regardless of whether they are the
descendants of colonial or ante-bellum families,
or are persons of discrimination who make it
their home from choice, should realize that in
choosing their residence, they became the in-
heritors of an unexcelled historical tradition, ex-
tending for nearly four centuries into a past
richly filled with dramatic events. Many of these
events were associated with structures which
have survived, often without protection, the rav-
ages of time and vandalism until today.
The preservation of these historic sites, such
as the old St. Joseph cemetery, for instance, is a
concern of mounting importance. The survival
of many of these structures is largely attributable
to their location in hitherto inaccessible locations,
but with the extension of roads and the encroach-
ment of many developments, the old security
disappears and their further preservation is
threatened unless the state assumes custodian-
ship. Means should and must be devised for
their preservation for posterity'.

In ways, Georgia seems 'to be all
right and in other ways, not
so good. For instance, when
we took off Thursday of last week
to visit Myrtice's uncle and aunt,
Doc and Mrs. Coody, who have a
fish pond of abbut two acres on
their rancho, we found, much to
our disgust, that with an estimated
3000 bream, warmouth, trout and
shellcrackers in this small body of
water, none of them were inter-
ested in becoming impaled on our
hook. Doc had been whooping up
the amount of fish he had (by let-
ter), and we were all a-glow with
visions of hauling in a few eight or
ten-pound bass (he was offering a
dollar bill to anyone wha'd catch
a 12-pounder that iwas eating up
the small fish'), and so when we ar-
rived we took o.ur casting rod and

WHEN NOT TO FISH

Wildlife Officer Allen LeGrone
informs us that the fish are not
biting much at present, probably
due to the fact that the large ones
are bedding. However, he says that
the little ones are biting, and that
an ardent Izaak Walton, by putting
in a hard day, probably can pick
up a fair string of the larger ones.
He particularly warns fishermen
that the season does dot open un-
til Thursday midnight, June 1, and
that the wardens'will have their
eyes peeled on Lake Wimico and
the Dead Lakes for anyone jump-
ing the gun.

Bill Would Put All of
State On Eastern Time
' For official purposes, West Flor-
ida would switch to Eastern Stan-
dard Time under provisions of a
bill now before the legislature.
The present law says time used
by state agencies is to be "the
United States standard time of the
zone within which the act is to be
performed."
The bill, introduced in the house
by Representative John L. McFar-
lin Jr., would replace this provision'
simply with "Eastern Standard
Time."
This would place the entire state
on Eastern Standard Time and do
away with the present confusion,
particularly in this neck o' the
woods. The Star has long advo-
cated such a change and it is to be
hoped that the measure will ride
successfully through both houses of
the legislature.

Brownie Scout Troop
Pays Visit To The Star
Thirteen wide-eyed members of
Brownie Scout Troop No. 3 visited
The Star office Tuesday afternoon
to see the wheels go 'round and
learn how a newspaper is issued.
They were particularly interested
in the linotype which sets the type
for the paper, crowding around it
like bees around a honey pot. Each
was given a "slug" with their name
on it and a penny bearing the year
of their birth embedded in the side
of it as a memento of the occasion.
They were quite jubilant over the
fact that now, with the use of an
ink pad, they can print their names
instead of writing it.
Members of the troop, accom-
panied by Mrs. Estelle Mosely and
Mrs. Gladys Gill; were Diane Lay,
Barbara Maxwell, Gail Gill, Louise
Warner, Madeline Gill, Diana Mc-
Knight, Sarah Linda Richardson,
Anne Mosely, Elizabeth Garraway,

What Happened Last Week In Tallahassee
By J. KENNETH BALLINGER


With the economy dykes broken,
the Florida legislature is coasting
toward adjournment next week. The
major two-year spending bills for
state government have been passed
by both houses, this week will be
reconciled, and one bill submitted
to Governor Warren.
The house of representatives un-
der economy-minded Representative
Morgan of Duval, started with an
appropriation bill of $244,000,000,
but when the members got to think-
ing about the old folks and the
schools, theyhiked this to $268,000,-
000. The senate had approved a to-
tal spending program of $278,000,-
000, but their bill included $10,000,-
000 to repair and build new build-
ings at state institutions.
So far, the house has failed to
take action on the amended .3%
sales tax bill passed by the senate,
to make up the difference between
what the state gets now and what
it will need.
Harness Racing Bill Approved
Racing threatened-again to break
up a legislative session in a cloud
of scandal. Rep. B. Elliott of Palm
Beach county had introduced a bill
to allow harness racing in that
county. A house committee killed
it, but he appealed for votes and
got unanimous approval of the bill.
Following the vote, the speaker
marched to the clerk's desk, took
the bill in hand and personally car-
ried it to the senate. Other racing
bills in the past have mysteriously
disappeared on this short journey.
Revise County Budget-Making
Both house and senate have com-
pleted action on a revision of the
laws of budget-making by county
commissioners, originally sponsored
,by the state association of county
commissioners. It reduces to sum-
mary form the contents of proposed
county budgets, as a substitute for
adequate public notice given to the
taxpayers under existing law. The
senate by a close voice vote de-
feated efforts of Senator J. Min
Ayers to restore notice to the pub-
lic on preliminary budgets.
The legislature also has voted to
increase from $300 to $1000 the
limit of purchases county commis-
sioners can make without calling
for competitive bids.
SCrime Drive Bogs Down
The legislative d r i v e against
crime bogged down when it tried
to control public officials. The sen-
ate has rejected a proposal to make
sheriffs and other peace officers
subject to recall by.the people.
Elsewhere a committee had put
to sleep a bill to prohibit an indi-
vidual from owning a controlling
interest in more than one race
track. The senate also killed a bill
to let the state monitor telephone
conversations to get evidence on
bookies.
Otherwise, the lawmakers bore
down heavily on gamblers, approv-
ing in the senate mandatory jail
sentences for bookies, banning tip-
sheets and newspaper selections,
prohibiting transmission of racing
information for 30 minutes after
each race, canceling hotel and bar
licenses where gambling is per-
mitted, and tightened up on the
control of telephone and telegraph
services used for bookmaking.
Would Open Welfare Rolls
The house has approved a bill to
open welfare rolls to the public by
putting names of old folks getting
pensions on record with'-eelerks of
the circuit court. This issue has
been followed by committee ap-
proval of bills in both'houses re-
quiring elderly needy people to file
suits for non-support against their
children before they can become
eligible for aid. Senator Johnnie
Wright of DeFuniak Springs has
protested this feature, as well as
the publication of relief rolls, and
has indicated he will fight both
proposals in the senate. ,
The house was told by Represen-


tative Richard Simpson of Jeffer-
son that if the federal government
should threaten to withhold federal
matching funds because of welfare
publicity, the cabinet would be au-
thorized to close them again. Other
requirements to put liens on the
property of welfare clients are now
pending.
Press Muzzling Bills'Fail
A house committee has killed the
massive insurance code which had
passed the senate and which would
have gathered into one place the
insurance laws of the state.
A senate committee has given an
unfavorable report to a bill to tax
Hadacol like wine because of its
high alcoholic content.
A house committee, rejected bills
to investigate the Tampa Tribune,
and gave unfavorable reports to
measures which would have can-
celed out the libel laws, required
newspapers to open their pages for
answer to any criticism of official
conduct, and required newspapers
and radio stations to get approval
of a candidate for office before his
friends could place advertising.
Still unsettled is a resolution to in-
vestigate the Miami Herald.
The rash of anti-newspaper bills
at this session of the legislature
has not yet been traced to their
source, but capital observers agree
most of them are coming from the
same place. All are attempts at
muzzling the free press.
Would Modify Blue Laws
A bill to authorize title prize-
fights in Florida has passed both
houses. Also, both houses have ap-
proved a bill to modify Sunday blue
laws, and permit transportation,

BARREL TO SPUR DONATIONS FOR CANCER FUND


A new plan to fight cancer was given a sendoff in Leesburg Wednes-
day of this week when the barrel pictured above made its initial ap-
pearance at the Leesburg Watermelon Festival. George Rast, state
treasurer of Fight Cancer, Inc., stated that the barrel is to be taken to
fairs and festivals in Florida in an effort to spur donations. The money
is to be turned over to the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for cancer
research. Comely young lady atop barrel is Rhoda Jane Williams, a
maid of honor in the watermelon festival's beauty conte-_t.


Vegetable Growers

Are Warned To Watch

For Rubber Checks

Commissioner of Agriculture Says
Produce Buyers Often Give
Worthless Paper

Nathan Mayo, commissioner of
agriculture has released a state-
ment intended as a tipoff to Flor-
ida growers, directing attentionto
the importance of making certain
that buyers of farm produce 'had
qualified under the Florida Agricul-
tural Bond and License Act.
"Specifically," said Mayo, "I wish
to warn watermelon growers whose
melons are now rolling to market
that they should be on the alert for
unbonded purchasers. The Florida
act, passed in 1941, requires pur-
chasers of farm crops from pro-
ducers to qualify by obtaining a
license and filing bond guarantee-
ing the payment for the produce
bought from the producer.
"This act, often referred to as
the 'cash on the barrelhead' act,
was passed-to put an end to trans-
actions under which Florida farm-
ers and growers were often fleeced
by accepting payment in the form
of rubber checks for their produce.
The sum total of ithe losses to Flir-
ida growers under the bad check
system ran into many thousands of
dollars per year.
"Hundreds of carlpts of water-
melons, cabbage, beans, tomatoes
and other vegetables were paid for
with spurious checks which bounced
back in the face of the grower
days after his produce had been de-
livered to some distant city, and all
he had for his hard work was a
check carrying the doleful words
'Insufficient Funds' or 'No Account.'
Under the present agricultural
bond and license law, every dealer
in agricultural products must ob-
tain a license from the commis-
sioner of agriculture and file a
surety bond for the protection of
the grower from whom he makes
purchases.
Violation of the act constitutes a
misdemeanor and the first offense
calls for a fine of not less than $250
or imprisonment up to six months,
while the second or subsequent of-
lense brings down a fine of $500 or
imprisonment up to one year, or

both, at the discretion of the court.
Florida growers, it would seem,
would do well before selling any-
thing from their farms, to make
certain that the purchaser is
bonded, unless they get cool cash
in hand. Those who ship on con-
signment or trust a persuasive
buyer with their produce without
knowing that he is bonded, do so
at their own risk.
