Saints In Win

Over Marianna

Sunday 8 To 6


Locals Overcome One-Run
Lead of Visitors in
'Lucky Seventh'

The 'St. Joe Saints came through
with another victory Sunday at
Centennial Field. when they downed
Marianna 8-6 by overcoming the
visitors' one-run lead in the"lucky
seventh."
Everything looked rosy in the
opening frame when Leonard Belin
slammed a homer over the left wall
with Wagner, Price and Branco on
-base, but the Jackson county boys
came Iback in the top of the second
to make it 4-3 with Pompelin, Tay-
lor and Fellows crossing the plate.
The third was uneventful, but in
the fourth Marianna chalked up
three more on two errors and three
hits off Eddie Meharg, who was re-
lieved during the inning by Mc-
Crary.
St. Joe made it 5-6 in the bottom
of the fourth when Godfrey was
handed an Annie Oakley and Price
and Bianco nicked Thomas for a
couple of singles.
The Saints put the game on ice
in the seventh when Craig and
Weisen'back were walked; Maxwell
took two bags on a long drive to
left field to send Craig across the
plate, and Weisenbach came home'
on a wild pitch.
One more was scored in the
eighth when: Wagner was safe as.
the centerfielder i opped his high
fly; he stole second, went to third
on a wild pitch and scampered
across the plate on Price's liner
through the pitcher's box. Thomas
was relieved on the mound at this
point by Gable, but the damage had
been done. It looked like another
counter for the Saints when Belin
took a standup double on a drive
to the left field- fence, but he died
on base when, with two away,
Whitehead failed to beat out an in-
field hit.
Ashford was scheduled to play
here last night under the lights,
and Sunday 'St. Joe will play the
return game at Ashford. Next week
the Saints play Graceville Thurs-
day night, and the following Sun-
day Graceville will come here.

Move To Impeach

Governor Warren

Is Voted Down


Only Six Members of House
Favor Measure By
Miamibn

The Florida house of representa-
tives Monday refused to vote ar-
ticles of impeachment against Gov-
ernor Fuller Warren 'by flatly re-
jecting a resolution of Representa-
tive George Okell of Miami calling
on the house to set the impeach-
ment machinery in motion on the
grounds that. Warren had disre-
garded his duty and ignored law-
lessness in the state.
Only six, representatives voted on
Okell's side on a roll call he in-
sisted on for the record after the
house already had defeated his pro-
posal by a voice vote.
The house also agreed to expunge
from its records all 'but the title of
Okell's 46 pages of proposed ar-
ticles of impeachment on the ground
that it would be too expensive to
print in the house journal.
Governor Warren thanked the
house Tuesday for its "vote. of con-
fidence" in refusing to vote 'the ar-
ticles of impeachment, saying:
"I am more grateful than I can
say for the legislature's almost
unanimous vote of confidence. Now
that the people of Florida have
spoken through their elected repre-
sentatives, I invite everyone to join
us..in'the unc-i-iieg efforts of our
administration to make state gov-
ernment more of a blessing and less
of a burden, which efforts have re-
sulted in higher prosperity and
greater progress than Florida has
ever before enjoyed. I hope we may
all march one way in mutual, well-
beseeming ranks.
"I rededicate myself to renewed
service to all the people of Florida."


Gulf County Chapter

Receives Check for

Polio Patient Care

Half of $700 Raised In Recent Fund
Drive Will Go for Care of
Locally Stricken

A check for $350 to help provide
care for local polio patients has
been received 'by the Gulf county
chapter of the National'Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, it was an-
nounced this week by Joe Mira,
chapter chairman.
When March of Dimes funds are
raised, 'Mira explained, half stays
here with the local chapter and half
goes to national headquarters for
research, professional education and
Emergency aid to chapters whose
own funds have been exhausted by
the demands of patient care. The
check just 'received comes from
this 'pooling of chapter funds at na-
Stional headquarters.
Mr. Mira said record-breaking
polio incidence during the last three
years had exhausted the treasuries
of hundreds of chapters across the
country and that in many cases
S1951 March of Dimes funds had
t been committed to the payment of
f old bills before this year's firsi
.case had been reported.
At present the Gulf county chap
ter is providing funds for the care
f in whole or in part, of three pa
y tients afflicted this year, in addi
f tion to underwriting the patient
5. care costs of one stricken prior t(
January 1, 1951.

Welfare Roll Bill

Goes To Warren

If Measure Becomes Law, Lists
Will Be Available for Pub-
lic Inspection

A bill designed to make available
official public inspection of Flor-
ida' welfare rolls cleared the legis-
lature Monday and was sent to Gov-
ernor Warren,
The house adopted a conference
committee amendment which pro-
hibits use of welfare rolls for "com-
mercial or political purposes." The
original senate amendment had
closed the rolls to anyone "not di-
rectly connected with the adminis-
tration of public assistance." The
house refused.to accept this por-
tion of the amendment, and the bill
went to a joint house-senate con-
ference committee.
If signed into law by Warren, the
statute will conflict .it" a U. S.,
regulation that welfare rolls are to
be closed to 'public view. However,
should the federal government cut
off its share of welfare money, the
measure permits the seven-member
state cabinet to susperid its pro-
visions "at any time the best in-
terests of the general public will
best be served." The cabinet thus
holds the power to declare the rolls
closed if the federal government
threatens to cut its contribution.
If it becomes law, the measure
requires the district welfare boards
to file the welfare rolls with the
clerk of the circuit court by Octo-
ber 1 and every three months after
that date.

LAW REQUIRES PRACTICAL
NURSES TO BE LICENSED
Governor Warren signed into law
Wednesday a bill requiring practi-
cal nurses in Florida to be licensed.
A former law required registered
nurses to hold licenses, but the
new law includes practical nurses
under the licensing provisions.
Qualifications for licensing as a
practical nurse include two years of
high school or its equivalent and
graduation from a state-accredited
school for practical nursing.

Bill Sets Up Standards
For All Juvenile Courts

A bill setting up uniform stan-
dards for juvenile courts in Florida
has passed the legislature. It regu-
lates procedure in all juvenile
courts, provides for private and in-
formal hearings and requires that
children kept in custody be segre-
gated from adults. No child can be
kept in jail unless no other place is
available.
The bill permits counties, but does
not require them, to spend up to an
amount equal to 25c per year for
each inhabitant of the county to op-
erate the courts. This also would
be used to.pay salaries to the judge
and counselor on a sliding scale ac-
cording to county population.
The bill does not create any new
juvenile courts 'but applies to the
Eight courts now established. It
,will also apply to any other juve-
Snile courts which may be created
Sat later legislative sessions and to
Juvenile courts presided over by
the county judges in all other coun-
ties.

Our Country, t Right or Wrong

HUNTING AND FISHING IS BIG BUSINESS
Our natural resources are endangered now, as
never before, by those greedy persons who would
destroy them for profit, using our national de-
fense as a cloak to conceal their operations. Out-
doors people, hunters, fishermen and conserva-
tionists, too long have been scoffed at as "dream-
ers" and nature-lovers who impede progress by


their determination to save our dwindling wild-
erness areas.
The editor of The Star received an advance
copy of the June issue of Sports afield magazine,
and in it is an article by Arthur Carhart which
shows their place and our natural resource's
place in the national economy.
He reports that sportsmen last year alone spent
more on dogs than what the public paid to see
all baseball, football, basketball and hockey
games, horse races and prizefights, both ama-
teur and professional.
If this fact is amazing, the nine billion dollars
spent by licensed sportsmen is even more so.
This figure represents nearly 50 per cent more
than the total business of all gasoline stations in
America. It is more than the money paid for all
cattle and hogs in the niarket last year and
nine billion dollars is a conservative figure.
If the unreasoning -exploitation of our natural
resources, which in turn means.the death of fu-
ture hunting and fishing, is allowed to continue,
then we Americans, in preparing our defenses,
will have wrecked one of the very things we are
fighting to preserve.
Every hunter, fisherman and camper in Gulf
county knows that the enjoyment of his sport
cannot be measured in dollars and cents, but if
money values must be used to fight greed and

Sponsor Kills Bill To Set
Political Advertising Rate
A bill which would prohibit news-
papers from charging excessive
prices for political advertisements
was withdrawn from consideration
in the legislature Saturday by Rep-
resentative Thomas B. Dowda of
Putnam county, its sponsor.
Dowda withdrew the 'bill with the
remark that it was "not of suffici-
ent importance to consume the time
of the house," referring to the fact
that but .five days remain before
adjournment of the 1951 session.
The measure would have made it
unlawful for newspapers to charge
more for political advertisements
than for other display advertising.

What Happened Last
By J. KENNET


This last week of the 1951 legis-
lative session found house and sen-
ate in disagreement over raising
taxes to meet higher appropria-
tions. The senate has passed a re-
vision of the 3% sales tax to pro-
vide $17,500,000 yearly in fresh
money to meet increases for old
folks and teachers. The house has
okayed increases, too, but at the
time this is written, had not agreed
to any form of new taxes.
SThe economy bloc was riding
high in the house. Big question was
whether pressure from school and
welfare lobbies would break their
resolve to go back home without
increasing the tax load.
No Corruption, Says Committee
The Haley committee has re-
ported, but found no. positive evi-
dence of corruption. They did re-
port almost Inbelievable ineffici-
ency in the state racing commis-
sibn, based on only a sketchy ex-
amination of the members. No evi-
dence of wrong-doing was laid to
Governor Warren, although they
noted he had spent more than the
law allows on his election.
The committee asked to be con-
tinued for two years with $50,000
for expenses, to continue probing
for corruption in high places. As a
by-product of the Haley investiga-
tion, the legislature has ordered
the racing commission to open its
books and confidential files to state
and. county officials.
Fate of Racing Bills-Doubtful
Racing has figured only briefly
in the legislative news, and a
threatened blow-up over harness
racing didn't develop any steam.
Speaker B. Ellibtt of Palm Beach
county -was able to blast two har-
ness track bills out of unfriendly
committees, first, by appealing to
the 'house membership for a local
Palm Beach county bill to let them
have harness racing,, and second,
by. stacking --h e,-house ,public
amusement committee" with six new
members, he got the same commit-
tee to release a general bill per-
-mitting harness racing.

Bill Puts $1000 Limit
On Campaign Gifts
Makes It Unlawful for Racing In-
terests, Beverage Licensees and
Others To Contribute
An intensive clamp-down on the
financing of political campaigns,
including a limit of $1000 per con-
tributiqn, was voted in the Florida
house of representatives Monday.
The measure, inspired by the sen-
ate crime committee, prohibits any
individual from contributing over
$1000 to any one candidate in any
one state or county primary or elec-
tion, and any contribution is un-
lawful if made by racing interests,
intoxicating beverage licensees, or
operators of public utilities.
The crime committee's bill, as
originally passed by the senate,
banned anyone' connected with race
tracks to "make any contribution
whatsoever to any political party
or to any candidate for any state,
county, district or municipal of-
fice."
Opponents of the measure argued
that the bill discriminated against
racing interests since there were
other groups which -contributed to
campaigns, and said the measure
would make "intentional or unin-
tentional criminals out of every
candidate."
.Barbed wire for cattle fencing
was invented by an Illinois farmer
in 1872.


Attend Birthday Gathering
Mr. and Mrs. Duffy Lewis and
daughters, Frances and Patsy, Mrs.
Asa Montgomery and son, Jimmy,
spent last week-end in Tampa at-
tending a birthday dinner given in
.honor of Mrs. Montgomery's father,
N. A. Simmons, who was 90 years
old. There were about 65 relatives
and friends gathered to celebrate
this happy occasion,, and all ex-
tended best wishes to the honoree
for many more birthdays in the fu-
ture.
NOTICE TO OUR READERS
Due to the increasing length of
cards of thanks after a death, on
which there has been no charge in
the past, The Star finds it neces-
sary to charge for these in future.
A minimum charge of 50c will be

TAPPER'S
LEGISLATIVE


By REP. GEORGE TAPPER

TALLAHASSEE, May 31 The
big news, of course, this week was
the attempt by George Okell, rep-
resentative from Dade. county, to
bring impeachment proceedings
against the governor. After thor-
ough investigation by the special
committee appointed to look into the
articles of impeachment, the com-
mittee found that Okell did not
have enough evidence bn which im-
peachment proceedings could be
brought. The house overwhelm-
ingly votqd it down 76 to 6. .This
seems to prove that Goyvernor War-
rne is not guilty of the allegations
that have been made against him
by unfriendly newspapers and mag-
azines.
.The new city charters for Port
St. Joe and Wewahitchka, which
will allow them to levy excise taxes
were tied up in the senate commit-
tee on finance and taxation as ob-
jections were raised to extension
of taxing power to the commission;
but were brought out Wednesday,
with other local bills, when a dele-
gation from the house threatened
to block local legislation of all 13
members of.the senate committee.
On my two gas bills, the'one for
Wewahitchka is law, and the one
for Port St. Joe was approved by
the senate Tuesday.
The claim bill which would pay
Alfr-ed Morning (colored) $3700 for
the death of his son is now pending
on special order calendar in the
senate and should be passed.
My bill which appropriates $10,-
000 for Constitution Park is-in the
senate appropriations committee
and I still have hopes of getting it
out before the session ends.
The conference committee on ap-
propriations has reported out a
compromise appropriation bill which
comes to.$274,056,984. This bill was
acted upon Wednesday. With this
appropriation as presented by the
committee it appears that we will
have to raise around $10,000,0.00 in
new taxes.
Last 'Saturday I introduced a bill
which would allow an exemption
on the gas tax used by farmers
and commercial fishermen.
Next week I hope to give a brief
resume of the proceedings of the
1951 session and the actions taken
,by your representative in these pro-
ceedings if Editor Bill can spare me
the necessary space.


Motorists Safest
In Union County

People Run Biggest Hazard In Col-
lier County, According to State.
Bureau of Vital Statistics

What is the safest county in Flor-
ida where auto accident fatalities
are concerned? Which is the most
dangerous?
Recorded figures released by the
Florida State Board of Health bu-
reau of vital statistics showed that
during the past five years on an av-
erage, people were safest in Union
County, in the northeastern section
of the state. People ran the biggest
hazard during the same period in
Collier county, on Florida's lower
west coast.
S Union county rated tops for auto
safety with a five-year average of
10.2 fatalities per 100,000 popula-
tion, while Collier dragged on the
bottom in 67th place, with an aver-
age of 98.0 fatalities -per 100,000
population.
;- Use of accident rates upon which
the report is based might give a
misleading impression fbr Union
and Collier counties, however. Be-
cause of the small population of
these counties, it takes only 'a few
such deaths to compile an impres-
sive accident death rate. Collier
county auto accident deaths totaled-


29 for the five-year period.
For the state as a whole, 1950 was
the deadliest of the past five years
in the auto accident field. Last
year's total of recorded deaths was
893 persons as compared with 704
during 1949. Other years in the five-
year survey period include: 1948,
734 deaths; 1947, 807. deaths; 1946,
788 deaths.
Among the state's larger coun-
ties, Escambia, in 28th position was
the most dangerous, followed by
Duval in 22nd place, and Hillsbor-
ough in 18th -position. .Populous
Dade county was in 14th place. Or-
ange county was next with 13th
rating, while Pinellas was in 11th


position. Visit Grandparents Sumner.
SWhile, the .Sunshine State's pro- Norma and Margie Hall spent the ----- ---
visional/death rate from automobile week-end in Blountstown with their The Philippines coveL an -area


accidents jumped from 26.5 in 1949
to 32.4 per 100,000 population in
1950, the national average on an es-
timated basis slipped slightly from
21.0 in 1949 to 20.8 during the past
year.
However, it might be pointed
out that Florida, one of the most
popular tourist areas in the nation,
has a heavy influx of automobiles
from other states which, added to
vehicles owned by Florida resi-
deits, help to add their share to
the accident total.

I proved that for myself in the Economy Run."

Father's Day, and countless other

are obliged to respect, such as an-
niversaries and 'birthdays.
A conscientious person who de-
sires to maintain a reputation for
thoughtfulness has reached a point
where it is getting to be a genuine

get by with a five or ten cent greet-

a hole, in the old family budget of
from 50c to $1 for a card and $5 or
$10 for a gift. The box of candy
that used to cost 50c is now from
$1.50 to $4; the necktie we form-
erly paid a half a buck for is now
$2, and the bouquet of roses or car-
nations is more expensive than a
sirloin steak.
