Registration of

Births In County

100% Complete


Is One of Fifteen Counties In
Florida With Perfect
Record

Florida has come a long way in
tightening up on birth registrations
but there still are some babies.'who
go unlisted in vital statistics re-
cords despite laws requiring such
registrations, according to the state
board of health.
A national test made by the U. S.
Bureau of the Census following the
-1950 population survey, showed that
during that year 97.5% of all births
in Florida were registered. This
figure is about the same as the na-
tional average.
Following the 1940 census a simi-
lar test showed that during that
year only 89.9% of births were be-
ing registered in Florida.
The Florida State Board of Health
is charged with the legal responsi-
bility of maintaining the state's vi-
tal statistics records, and the board
reports that 15 of the state's 67
counties made a 100% showing on
birth registrations during 1950, one
of these being Gulf county. Others
were Brevard, Charlotte, Citrus, De-
Soto, Flagler, Hardee, Liberty, Her-
nando, Hendry, Okeeohobee, Wa-
kulla, Osceola, Suwannee and St.
Johns.' -'
In 1940 but 74.5% of all- births
in Gulf county were registered, and
breakingg down this figure we find
that 70% of the white babies were
registered and 86.7% of the colored

Cost of Hospital Care Up and Num-
ber of Polio Patiebts
Is On Increase

America's price 6ag for transform-
ing crippled legs to active limbs

March of Dimes, said Ted Frary,
Gulf county campaign director for
the January appeal of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
"It costs a great deal to bring
weakened bodies back to a reason-
able state of functioning," he said.
"When polio leaves its' mark, it's a
long, uphill fight, to repair the dam-
age. That's why the March Of Dimes
has gone into the red for four years
running. True, .America has- con-
tributed more each year. However,
not only has the cost of hospital
care soared, but the number of
.polio patients needing help has in-
creased steadily."
Frary said that in its first ten
year, from 1938 to 1947, the'national
foundation spent a total of $41,000,-
000 for care of patients. In the last
four years alone, 1948 through 1951,

GARDEN CLUB CIRCLE HEARS
TALK ON CAMELLIA GROWING
Mrs. Roy Hallman gave a talk on
camellias at the January meeting
of the Gladiolus Circle. For the ben-
efit of those who recently bought
camellias from the Garden Club a
brief resume of her talk follows:
Mrs. Hallman said that camellias
will grow in any yard if given the
right care. In planting, dig the hole
twice as wide and deep as roots of
the plant. Save top half of soil re-
move and mix with leaf mold.
Plant the camellias on a mound of
earth if in a damp location.
Use a special camellia and azalea
fertilizer for camellias and fertilize
in late November, again in late Feb-
ruary, and again in late March or
early April. Sprinkle fertilizer on

top of mulch and water in. Use a
half pound for an 18-inch plant and
more for a larger one.
Soak thoroughly once a week in
dry weather and spray foliage each
time you water.
Never work around a camellia.
Mulch with pine straw.
The shade of pine trees is ideal
for camellias. If you do not have
shade, shade with burlap on a
frame for first two years.

Shark Cagers Chalk Up
First Victories of Season

By JACKIE KENNEY
The St. Joe Sharks chalked up
their first two victories of the sea-
son, wining over Kinard and Cara-
belle.
Last Friday the local five out-
played Carrabelle's Mullets by a
36-20 score. Roberts and Barrier
were the outstanding players in
that game.
Tuesday night St. Joe defeated
Kinard 58-39, with Benny Roberts
and Lincoln Hall leading the ahoot-
ers and Roberts taking the rebounds.
The Sharkettes lost to Carrabelle
37-27 in a hard-fought struggle, Dot
Williams 'being high-pointer for the
local girls.
The A and B boys will meet Bris-
tol here tonight and the girls and
boys will journey to Wewahitchka
Saturday night.
