County Commissioners
Designate March 17-24

As Beautification Week

Co-operating With State Beautifi-
cation Week As Set By
Governor Waren

By RUTH MILTON
The county commissioners of Gulf
county, upon request of the state
chamber of commerce, have desig-
nated the week of March 17-24 as
"County Beautification Week."
A program for county beautifica-
tion was set up Wednesday of last
week in this 'city at a meeting
called by Mrs. Joe Whitfield at the
request of the state chamber. Many
organizations were represented, and
county officers elected at that time,
being Mrs. J. Whitfield, chairman;
Miss Ruth Milton, secretary, and J.
C. Culpepper, treasurer.
Since it will not be necessary to
meet often, it was decided to have
a group of city beautification offi-
cers also. Port St. Joe officers are
I. C. Nedley, chairman; Mrs. Frank-
lin Jones, secretary, and Mrs. C. A.
Brown, treasurer. Wewahitchka's
chairman is Mrs. B. E. Parker, with
other officers to be elected later.
On the opening day of "Beautifi-
cation Week," March 17, at 2:30 p.
m., two camellia plants will be set

Tomorrow Last Day for
Candidates To Qualify

'Those county officials who have
no opposition to date are holding
their collective breaths and keeping
their fingers crossed as the dead-
line for qualifying draws near.
Saturday, March 15, is the last
day on which candidates may qual-
ify for the May 6 primary. Usually
there are one or two last-minuters
anxious to get into the swim, and
this election year probably won't
be an exception.

CITY GETS ANOTHER GOB
OF CIGARET TAX MONEY
City Clerk Ben Dickens this week
racked up another check in the

$537.26; Panama City, $12,784.54;
'Apalachicola, $1,593.54 and Liberty
county, $386.10.
Entire amount collected in Flor-
ida for January came to $1,672,586.

Our Country '--Y Right or Wrong


REGISTER TODAY AND VOTE IN MAY
The divinely inspired framers of our country's
Constitution began its preamble with three words
that reveal the purpose uppermost in their minds.
It was their solemn intent that this should be
truly a people's government where the majority
would rule.
:They began their declaration "We the people."
They did not say "We, the congress" or "We,
the politicians!" They said "We, the people."
They meant ALL the people, rich and poor, old
and young.
Not only was our government established by
"the people," but into our hands was placed the
power to control, to change and even to dissolve
it by majority action. The source of that power
was the sacred right of free expression by our
ballots at the polls.
We now approach another election; it is a


critical hour in our history. We are called upon
to express our will in the selection of county,
state and national leaders.
It is the solemn duty of every good American
to register and vote.
Check with Mrs. C. G. Rish, supervisor of
registration for Gulf county to be sure you are
qualified, if you have any doubts. Remember,
the registration books will close April 5. Also
urge your friends and neighbors to register if
they have not already done so. Then, when
May 6 comes around, vote as-your conscience
dictates, but be sure and vote.

More Light
The 100-watt incandescent lamp
gives more light than two 50-watt
lamps. Some of the energy in a
lamp is lost by being conducted as
heat through the gas in the bulb.
With the higher wattage lamps, this
loss is less in percentage, and thus
more energy is used to make light.

Ridding Fresh Waters
of Roughfish To Become
Sporting Propossition

Game Commission To Invite Public
In for Shooting, Gigging and
Netting Parties
Roughfish control work will be-
come a sporting proposition in the
future, according to an announce-
ment by the state game and fresh
water fish commission.
Scheduled in the project to re-
duce the undesirable roughfish in
the fresh waters of Northwest Flor-
ida are a series of shooting, gigging
and netting expeditions, which
should help improve sports fishing.
The program works like this:
When concentrations of rough-
fish such as gars, suckers and mud-
fish, are found, game commission
fish management technicians will
inspect the waters and determine
the best practical method of de-
stroying the species in that cer-
tain area.
The general public, sportsmen's
clubs and civic groups will be told
of the location of the area, the day
and time that such a program will
tqke effect, and the method to be
used in eradicating the roughfish.
All such operations will be super-
vised by commission personnel.
If the fish management men de-
termine that shooting will be best
to rid the waters of these species,
then the public will be asked to
bring their rifles and pistols and
assist the game agency in the de-
struction of the fish. If gigging is
determined to be the best method,
then the public will be allowed to
gig the roughfish. The game com-
mission has a number of gigs on.

Free Water
01' Dobbin Must Pay
COTTAGEGROVE, Tenn. A
free drink of water in the village
of Cottagegrove (population 172)
is a hard thing to find these
days. Even for the horses and
cows.
Under new rates just approved
by the state public utilities com-
mission, the community's water
supply is authorized, effective
immediately, to charge 25 cents
a head each month for horses,
mules, and cows that drink
municipal water.
Other livestock was excluded
from the order. But OP Dobbin
must pay.
Utilities Commissioner John C.
Hammer said he believed it was
the first time the state had fixed
drinking-water rates for animals,

Hooking Rugs Proves

Profitable Businoss

For Small Maine Town
TURNER VILLAGE, Me.-For its
size, this community has contributed
perhaps more to glamorizing
polished floors than any other ham-
let in the United States.
Boasting scarcely 1,000 citizens.
Turner Village is proud of being the
home..of the oldest and largest
hooked rug guild in operation.
In a three-story frame building,
some 60' employees-most of them
women-turn out nearly a half mil-
lion dollars' worth of hooked rugs
annually. With the trend-toward
smaller rugs and polished floors
gaining momentum, folks of Turn-
er Village hope to hit the million-
dollar mark some day in the not-
too-distant future.
Most of these employees live on
farms where they arise before sun-
up to do the chores. By six o'clock
in the morning they are hard at
work in the Priscilla Turner Rug
Guild plant. By noon they are
through for the day and heading
back home to complete their farm
work.
Their six-hour stint at the factory
contributes to an output of rugs
that are sold all over-the -world,
including Europe, Australia and
Africa,
S'The Guld which Maine par-
lance means partnership or corpo-
ration, was organized in 1923 by
Harvey James DeForest, a mechan-
ical engineer who believed that
hooked rugs could be turned out in
mass volume.
Until then, hooked rugs were
rare, made principally of strips of
discarded clothes and based on a
hazy tradition of design.
When DeForest organized his rug-
'hookers-about 30 strong-they set
up headquarters in a grain and
wheat mill near the Neziscot river
falls.
By developing equipment which
Supped the production potential of a
pair of rug-hooker's hands, DeForest
rocked other ruggers back on their
heels with an initial annual output
valued at $25,000. Since then the
production has expanded 20-fold.
Turning out 75 patterns in sizes
ranging up to 14 by 27 feet, these
S. rugged, Majne. people ,have devel-.
oped a new and profitable industry
in this little "Down East" town.

Two Editors Are Banned
From Council Meetings
ELKTON, Md.-The town of Elk-
ton, population.3,500, was the center
of nation-wide attention recently
when the editors of the town's two
weekly newspapers charged they
were banned from town council
meetings.
The editors joined in declaring the
ban undemocratic and a threat to
freedom of the press.
The newspapermen reported they
have been unwelcome since they
reported that a' delegation of citi
zens complained about rowdyism
around a cafe and that the council
had instructed the police to put on
pressure and raid the place if neces-
sary.
The mayor had suggested that
nothing be carried in the papers
about it. At the next meeting the
council went into secret session
when the two editors appeared.
The mayor is reported to have
told the editors that the ban would
continue..

...ONLY ONE TIRE, THE




SUPREME
GIVES YOU COMPLETE PROTECTION
AGAINST BLOWOUTS AND PUNCTURES,
PLUS MAXIMUM NON-SKID SAFETY


BLOWOUTS ,. .When an ordinary tire blpws out
it goes flat in one-tenth of a second .. so fist that-v
you hardly have time to prevent an accident. With
the Firestone Supreme, blowout accidents .can't hap-
pen because inside the tire is a safety .diaphragm,
which holds a reserve supply of air to give you com-
plete control ,of your car after the blowout occurs.


PUNCTURES With ordinary tires and tubes
punctures are dangerous too. A nail, a piece of
glass, any sharp object and you can be caught inw
dangerous traffic with a flat. With the Firestoneo
Supreme, this can't happen because inside this tire .
is a special puncture-sealing material which adheres-
to penetrating objects and prevents immediate air
loss, enabling you to complete your trip without
interruption.


SKIDDING .". With ordinary' MiC, you- ar
'always in danger of a bad skid, especially when
driving conditions are slippery. With Firestone
Supremes, you get maximum protection against
skidding because there are more square inches of
tread gripping the road. Special traction boosters
and skid resisters in the tread further increase
your stopping power because they give more bite
and take a firmer grip.

the same period from July 1, 1951,
through January 31, 1952, the county

a total of 344.9 acres and causing

He added, that the splendid co-

possible to cut the number of fires
more than half this year, compared
to the number last year. Hardy
stated that 12 of the 33 fires this
year were set purposely. The other
21 fires were caused by lightning
and carelessness.
"The number of fires can be cut
much more," he added, "by every-
one being careful with cigarets,

Paper Mill Canal Won't
Interfere With Fishing

There has been some talk goLng
about that construction of the pa-
per mill's ditch to bring water to
St. Joe from the Chipola River will
be detrimental to sport fishing.
This is not so, since the intake
pipe will be well away from the
banks of the Chipola River, and the
Cypress Creek area will not be
dammed. In addition to this, protec-
tive screens will be placed at the
intakes.
In fact, it should provide 'more
fishing waters, for we're willing to
bet that within a short time the
new canal will have its quota of
fish despite precautions to'ke'ep 'em
out. We've seen it happen before.
Incidentally, the 'ditch from the
intracoastal waterway to the St. Joe
city limits will serve as a reser-
voir and settling basin to provide
a 24-hour supply of water to -the
mill. '

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

One southern gardening magazine
lists the following eight trees and
shrubs as indispensable to provide
beauty and color the year 'round in
Dixieland: 1. Some evergreen tree,
pine, cedar, magnolia or live oak.
2. Camellias. 3. Azaleas. 4.. Red-
bud. 5. 'Dogwood. 6. Mimosa. 7.
Crepe myrtle. 8. Deciduous holly.
Many gardeners do not realize
that gardenias, hollies, magnolias
and dogwood prefer an acid fer-
tilizer, like azaleas and camellias.
Now is the time to start the heat-
loving..summer annuals, in flats or
seed' beds, .to have them ready to
take their place in the garden when
spring, blossoms begin to fade. Some
that may be successfully planted
now are zinnias, marigolds, asters,
alyssum, dahlias, gaillardis, linaria,
morning glory, petunias, salvia, ver-
bena and sunflowers.

Returns To Duty In Texas
S/Sgt. Nolan Rawls left Wednes-
day to return to duty at Kelly Air
Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, af-
ter several days spent here with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. .B. E.
Rawls.

Your Phone Call
Telephone cables laid under-
ground in parts of Western United
States, in addition to waterproof
lead and other coatings designed to
keep moisture out of the cable, must
be wrapped with steel tape so
gophers cannot bite into the lead
covering and ruin the cable.
