March of Dimes

Drive To Continue

For Full Month


Due To Recent Upward Surge
of Polio; Local Organiza-
tion Formulates Plans

A meeting was held last Satur-
day afternoon at the Florida Power
Corporation office for the purpose
of organizing the 1952 March of
Dimes drive in Gulf county, which
this year will continue through the
entire month of January instead of
the customary two weeks.
T. G. Frary, county campaign
chairman, stated that the reason
for the additional two weeks was
due to the upward surge of polio
in recent years, pointing out that
during the past four years it has
become increasingly difficult for
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis to carry on its fight
against the only epidemic disease
still on the increase in America.
Frary stated that the 1951 debt
of the foundation was in the neigh-
borhood of $5,000,000, made up of
little debts throughout counties inl
48 states. This means, he said, that
the 1952 Mar.ch of Dimes is already
mortgaged for this amount before
a cent can be set aside for research.
or for the contingencies, that lie
ahead.
Miss Emma Stevenson of Wewa-
hitchka will be in charge of the:
drive in that area, Mrs. E. L. Ho-
baugh at Beacon Hill, and Mrs-. W.
J. Strickland in Port-St. Joe. Mrs-
J. C. Culpepper of this city will be
county treasurer, and Bob DuBell
will act as publicity-chairman and
be in charge of advance gifts.

Our Country -'" Right or Wrong

COOLIDGE SET A FINE PRECEDENT
Recent disclosures of shocking irregularities in
high places in the government turns our mind
back to the scandals of the Harding administra-
tion. President Coolidge came to the White
House shortly after these crimes began to be ex-
posed. He ordered a sweeping investigation, re-
gardless of whom it touched or where it might
lead. Relentless prosecution of the malefactors
followed. The president's full weight was behind
this all the way, even though some of the men
involved had been prominent in his own party.
The country now has a right to ask: 'Will simi-
lar action be taken in the present setup? Or will
a few of the lesser crooks be thrown to the wolves
and the remainder covered up?
We'll give you but one guess on this. With
your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman con-
tinuously asserting that his henchmen can do no

which are reminiscent of the most flagrant Tam-
many ward-heeling. To put it bluntly, the whole Phone 1 1 4
mess stinkl- to high heaven.
Truman can perform one of the greatest ser-
vices of his career if, as President Coolidge did
before him, he orders that the current scandals
be completely investigated and completely made
public-and makes that order stick. But he won't,
for he is a protege of the old Pendergast machine 00npyrigh

Calhoun Editor To
Act As Guinea Pig In
Election Law Test

Seeks Court Ruling On Legality of
Ads Received From Others Than
Candidates Themselves

Wallace Finlay, editor and pub-
lisher of the Calhoun County Record
at Blountstown, will act as a guinea
pig for a test of the legality of cer-
tain portions of the new election
laws. The court test will be made
through Finlay by the Florida Press
Association and the Florida Associ-
ation of Broadcasters with J. Ken-
neth Ballinger, Tallahassee attor-
ney, filing the papers.
Ballinger has drawn up a suit re-
questing the Calhoun county circuit
court for a declaratory decree on
the rights of Finlay to accept and
to buy political advertising under
conditions that appear to violate the
state election code. It names At-
torney General Richard W. Ervin
and State Attorney Mercer Spear
as defendants.
The suit specifically questions the
section which requires all expendi-
tures on behalf of a political candi-
date to be cleared through the can-
didate's campaign treasurer.
Finlay said he intends to receive
advertisements from persons voic-
ing their political views, and he also
intends to submit political ads writ-
ten by him for publication in The
Star and the Gulf County Breeze in
Gulf. county.
His complaint is that the law's
provisions tend to restrain him "in
the free exercise of his right to
publish a newspaper" and to pre-
vent him "from employing the nor-
mal avenues of trade in his rela-
tionships with citizens."
