Saltz Tells Listeners

That Government Is


'Mothers' March On

Polio" Set for Jan. 31


Those Desiring To Make Contribu-
Biggest Competitor tion To March of Dimes Asked
i t Cr To Have Porch Light Burning


Head of State Retail Associ-
ation Urges Co-operation
To Cut 'Rising Costs

Speaking before a special meet-
ing of the Port St. Joe Retail Mer-
chants Association Thursday night,
of last week, J. E. Saltz of St.
Petersburg, president of the Florida
State Retailers Association, said,
in part:
"As you and I so well know, gov-
ernment has become our biggest
competitor. Our biggest headaches,
our most serious problems, stem
from legislation, regulation and tax-
ation. What will happen next? How
long can we survive?
"Yes, truly, government today is
by far our biggest competitor for
the consumer's dollar. Thirty-four
cents out of every dollar he earns
is taken from the average Ameri-
can in taxes, both direct and hid-
den. There are, for example, 154
separate hidden taxes in a pair of
shoes.
"Actually, the average American
taxpayer works one-third of each
year for government-federal, state
and local. All he earns from Janu-
ary 1 to around May 1 each year,
he must pay out in taxes. On May
1, then, for the first time,he .begins
working for himself. There is a
serious question as to how much
higher, if any. taxes can go and,
.still sustain our cherished i;e of"
.life." I I : ,
After pointing out that every
man, woman and child in Florida is
carrying on their shoulders $1,660
as their share of the federal debt,
Saltz went on to say that cost of
government can be cut.
"I am confident,'l he said, "that
we can have good government at
less cost if we will work for it. But
business men must get deeper and
deeper into politics or the bureau-
crats and the politicians will get
deeper and deeper into our busi-
ness. Either we militantly defend
our right to do business under the
free enterprise system or face the
prospects of losing that right. The
time for action-'for united effort-
is now! There IS strength in num-

Porch lights will be burning for
an hourein Port St. Joe and vicinity
on the night of January 31 when the
"Mother's March On Polio" will be
launched as the climax of the 1952
March of Dimes, it was announced
yesterday by Mrs. W. J. Strickland,
director of the event.
The burning lights of homes will
be the signal to a small army of
volunteer mothers that they will be
welcomed to receive contributions
to the March of Dimes.
The Gulf county March of Dimes
committee has designated the hour
between 6:30 and 7:30 p. m. as the
time for this dramatic' windup of
the campaign against infantile par-
alysis. The local "Mothers' March
On Polio" is part of an identical na-
tionwide movement in which hun-
dreds of thousands of mothers will
participate.
"Turn on your porch light to fight
polio" is the theme of this special
appeal by the mothers on behalf of
the men, women and children who
have suffered from infantile paraly-
sis, said Mrs. Strickland.
"Here's the way the Mothers'
March will work," she said. "Be-
tween the hours designated, every
residelit of this area will be asked
to turn on his porch light-or to

Trees Planted In

Garden Club Drive


Beautification Plan Will Add
Much To City In Years
To Come

The Port St. Joe Garden Club is
very happy to report through The
Star that trees have been set out
all over Port St. Joe and in neigh-
boring communities during the past
week. Individuals in this city set
out 225, residents of Oak Grove 16,
Highland View 38 and,White City
13.
In addition to these, 2500 pine
seedlings, donated by the St. Joe
,Paper Company, have been set out,
150 at the high school, 150 at the
negro school and the remainder by
individuals. Those who failed to get
all of these free pine seedlings they
wanted are asked to get in touch
with Mrs. F. L. Jones, as there will
be more available today.
Highway 98 from 5th Street to
10th Street has recently been lined
with redbuds and cherry laurels,
and 175 crepe myrtles will 'be set
out on 5th Street this week. In ad-
dition, 17 shade trees have been set
out at the grammar school and 10'
at the iegro school. Palm Boulevard

Put good dirt around the tree when'

recommended that the trunks be
protected for the first two years.

Our Country Right or Wroni

NOBODY CAN WIN
(Reprinted from Jacksonville Times-Union)
Those groups in the United States which look
to the federal government as a source of income,
either directly as in subsidies or indirectly as in
ipessure to raise wages, should take a glance at
historyy and then peer into the future.
Even a casual study of history will reveal the
wIl


economic and social disaster that arrives hard on
the heels of uncontrolled inflation; no segment
of the population escapes the utmost distress and
suffering. Only the most drastic measures enable
a nation to survive such an upheaval, and some
never recover.
An honest comparison of past inflationary pe-
riods with present conditions in -the U. S. will
show the mistakes this country has made and is
continuing to make. The parallels are too close
for comfort.
It is axiomatic that no government can con-
tinue indefinitely to spend beyond its income.
Huge borrowing, which is highly inflationary,
becomes necessary, Public indebtedness reaches
the point where it is impossible for the govern-
ment to repay. There inevitably comes a time
when currency is orthletss, and a truck load of
paper money will not buy a loaf of bread.
The record of the present administration speaks
for itself. All the previous administrations of the
United States, from George Washington through
Franklin D. Roosevelt, collected and spent $248,-
000,000,000-over a period of 156 years. Under
President Truman, the government has collected
and spent $260,000,000,000 in just over six years.
The present national debt is close to $260,000,-
000,000, with the interest alone amounting to
about $6,000,000,000 annually. Yet, the end is


not in sight. grip on an economy. Money income
Even more ,dangerous than the goes up, but prices are always two
present size of th'e public debt is steps ahead.


the habit of government officials of
ignoring economic principles. Sec-
retary of Labor Tobin recently in-
formed a CIO group that half the
workers in the U. S. deserve raises
to compensate for higher living
-costs.
If he had said that the workers
merit more money because they
have contributed to an increaseof
goods or services, he would have
been on solid ground. But to base
wage raises merely on costs of liv-
ing is to give the spiral of inflatioli
a vicious twirl.
Secretary Tobin should know that
wages never keep pace with rising
costs when inflation has its deadly


Leaders of groups seeking arti-
ficial support from the government
are ethically bound to teach the
economic facts of life. They should
let it be clear that inflation even-
tually destroys the value of savings
accounts and insurance policies,
renders pensions almost worthless,
and reduces the real value of wages.
If this lesson is taken.to heart,
all groups will recognize the dan-
gers inherent in inflation and insist
upon the government reversing its
path.

Big

Red's iura


By Helen Langworthy
THE reason my husband has been
nick-named Big Red is because
he's over six feet tall, carrot-topped
and peppery dispositioned. While
painting our home
-3 Minute and reaching far
3 M e out from-the top
Fiction of the ladder Big
Red fell. There
were more people than the doctor
and r to realize that my husband
had broken his leg. He was howling
mad!
'Surprisingly, though, Big Red
wasn't too bad a patient during his
long hospiLlization. Yes, leave it
to him-he did a royal job, nothing
simple and routine! His fracture
required specialists, operations and
e uough paraphernalia around his
bed to make. it resemble Franken-
stein's nightmare. That's my Big
Red!
During those long months be-
fore he came home Big Red
said that the thing he was most
thankful for was that he was
away from the Sanders, the
Markhams, and the Keatings.
Perhaps in other neighborhoods
there are more family's like those
three. If so, I can sympathize with
all who live neighbor te thoroughly
nice but thoroughly tiresome folks.


"If this cure doesn't work,"
Big Red agreed, "I could al-
ways do a repeat."
Take Mr. Sanders, for instance. He
has gall stones. The way he de-
scribes the pain, the many medi-
cines the doctors have tried to dis-
solve them is something to remem-
ber for days. When anyone suggests
an operation, Mr. Sanders gasps,
"Oh, no!" You wonder if one would
rob him of his only conversational
topic!
Little Mrs. Markham is sweet and
lovely. She seems so-until she men-
tions she didn't sleep last night, the
night before and for weeks has
heard the clock strike every hour!
She's tried counting sheep, hot
milk and drugs. Nothing helps.
Then there's Mr. Keating. He's
next in size to Big Red. His woe is
an allergy. When he and his wife'
come in maybe it's the new daven-
port pillow that he stares at like it
came from Mars. He's spent hours
receiving painful shots and telling
about them.
WHEN, ; Big e Red finally came
home 'and was established in
bed he told me to ask the Sanders,
Markhams and the Keating's all to
visit. Those bores-and all at once.
Wondering if complex broken legs
could upset a man mentally, I
argued gently. Big Red roared so I
asked the three couples over.
It must have been 'the first time
anyone had dared having the three
chronic complained 'under one ro6f.
How the conversation flew! "My
painful gall stones-" was inter-
rupted with, "-not a good night's
sleep for three years!" Then Mr.
Keating pounced on one' of Big
Red's fluffy blankets and gave us
a run down on awful allergies. I
looked at my husband. He was smil-
ing!
Then he began! With a voice
that could make a general stand
at attention, Big Red described
the troubles he'd undergone. He
reeled off treatments, doctors,
specialists, traction affairs, the
silver plates that had been ap-
plied to his leg bone during the
operations, the pain, the sleep-
lessness, the discomfort, the
way the doctors had been per-
plexed, hundreds of shots! It
was terrific. I think my mouth


flew open and I forgot to shut it.
When our company looked at each
other in extreme boredom and wig-
gled their feet experimentally 2s
though they wondered how soon
they could decently leave,-Big Red
winked at me! He took a deep
breath-and began again on the hor-
rors of his case.
The three couples almost'ran for
the front doe-.
Out on the porch, with Big Red's
voice just a muted roar our guests
expressed their sympathy. "Such
a one track mind!" said Mr. Keat-
ing.
"Don't you get tired ot hearing
him talk about pain?" asked Mr.
Sanders who never tires of his!
I stepped inside, closed the aoor
on their pity. Then I went to Big
Red and we giggled, we roared
with laughter. Big Red's bed shook.
"I can't wait 'til .we see them .
next time," I told him, finally.
"''If this cure doesn't work," Big
Red agreed, "I could always do a
repeat!"
Somehow, though-I'm sure there
will be no need!

Coldewey Calls On All Residents of
Gulf County To Enlist In
March of Dimes

Tom Coldewey of the St. Joe Pa-
per Company today called on all
residents of Gulf county to enlist
in the 1952 March of Dimes.
"I have no doubt," said Colde-
wey, "that most of the people in
this area have already joined the
March of Dimes at least-once, but
in the interest of the welfare of our
local boys and girls, I suggest that
we all give again as a token of our
awareness of the great need this
year."
Coldewey said that by the end of
1951 the nation had recorded some
132,000 polio cases in four years,
and during that same time span
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis and its chapters
spent $79,000,000 for patient-care.
"That $79,000,000," continued Col-
dewey, "compares to all expendi-
ture of $41,000,000 in March of
Dimes funds for the same purpose
in the entire previous decade."
"The national foundation has as-
sisted, in whole or in part, four out
of' every five persons stricken with
polio. But there seem to be more
and more cases. The March of
Dimes has been unable to keep pace
with infantile paralysis and $5,000,-
000 is owing right now on last
year's bills. It's up to all of us to
quicken the 'March' by giving to
this fight against a vicious disease.'
In Gulf county the local unit of
the national foundation spent $1,-
179.00 during the past year, said
Tom, aiding four local polio pati-
ents, of whom three were victims
of prior outbreaks.
"Thus you see," he concluded,
"the March of -Dimes must cope
with-.rising incidence, rising costs
and, at the same time, a rising num-
ber of long-term cases. It can only\
do this through solid public sup-
port. Each Gulf county resident
must do his utmost."

Play Blountstown Tonite

By JACKIE KENNEY
The St. Joe high five defeated
Altha 37-34 in a close game Tues-
day night, with Gibson leading the
Sharks in getting rebomds and
Barrier high-point man.
The Sharkettes had an easy vic-
tory over the Altha girls, winning
with a 25-12 score. Campbell and
Kenney led in scoring.
Last week-end the Sharks lost
two games, one to Bristol 41-35,
and another to Wewahitchka 55-24.
The Bristol game was tied 35-35 at
the end, and an extra three min-
utes decided the winner. Roberts
and Hall took honors.
The St. Joe girls lost to Wewa
40-27, with Kenney high pointer.
The Sharks are out to defeat
Blountstown tonight at the Centen-
nial Auditorium. The girls' game
begins at 7 o'clock.
The Sharkettes will 'play a bene-
fit game for the polio drive here
Monday night with Wewa.
