At the last concert, Tim Elder played his cornet, and those who heard him then are not surprised that he has qualified for the all- state festival. At this concert Jane Allemore will perform the piano solo that earned her the same high honor. The junior glee club will sing a lullaby and also Stephen Foster's "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair," these being the numbers performed at the glee club festi- val, and the junior band will play several numbers to display their progress. A brass sextet consisting of a trombone, three comets, baritone and bass, will play some interest- Sing tunes and a second small group, who have styled themselves "The Hungry Five," will play music in (Continued on page 10) Program for Adult Education To Open Florida Institute. To Offer Several Courses ftr Those Seeking Self-Betterment The Gulf county branch of the Florida Institute located in this city announces the launching of an adult education program which is to be held in the grammar school. Courses to be offered will include English, mathematics, science, gov- ernment, geography, history, busi- ness English, bookkeeping, typing, economics and child care.

"In every community, large and small, adults are in need of further education- education for living," said William Rasmussen, director of the institute. "The most imme- diate needs of adults (those over 21) are in family life education, oc- cupational training, citizenship ed- ucation and personal adjustment. "As a result of the expanding de- fense program and consequent la- bor shortages, the inducement of good wages and improved working conditions, many now will want to develop skills, and these can be achieved through adult education classes," added Rsmussen. Death Takes M. H. Chafin, Former Gulf County Judge Marcus H. Chafin, 66, died at a Bay county hospital Tuesday fol- lowing a brief illness. He served as county judge of Gulf county for 16 years, retiring late in the '30s. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Gertrude Chafin of Panama City; three daughters, Miss Edith Cha- fin and Mrs. Wilson Stevens, both in Tokyo, Japan, and Mrs. Clarice Whaley of this city, and two sons, Hubert and Marcus Jr., of San Le- Audit Shows City of Port St. Joe Is In Good Condition Estimated Income for Past Year Is Exceeded By $2,333.33 The annual audit of the books of the city of Port St. Joe has just been completed by D. A. Smith & Company, certified public account- ants of Jacksonville, and indicates that the city is in good condition financially. Copies of the audit, which covers the year 1951, may be inspected at the city hall by anyone interested. A cursory examination of the au- dit shows that the city has current assets of $130,563.97 and fixed as- sets in the amount of $1,083,138.66, for a total of $1,430,431.75. Liabili- ties, present and future, amount to $569,615.13. We find in the water and sewer fund that a total of $34,227.52 was paid by residents of the city for these important services.' The municipal hospital didn't do so well, having an operating loss of $10,204.27 for the 12-month pe- riod. However, this shows some im- provement over 1950, when the loss came to $14,769.15, a decrease of $4.564.88. Biggest items for opera- tion of the institution were nurs- ing service, $17,959.83; food, $12,-. 531.51; drugs and medical, $9,106, and bad debts, $9,843.34. This lat- ter item was up $1,843.71 over the previous year. On the collection end, property taxes brought in $69,644.03; city licenses, $8,359; amusement taxes, $803.62; gasoline taxes, $9,396.14; cigaret taxes, $21.302.99; fines and forfeitures, $3,897.50; permits and (Continued on page 10) ----`----~----- McCarty Avers He Is for Economy In Government Gubernatorial Aspirant Says Can Run On Existing Revenue State Dan McCarty, Ft.

McCarty particularly hit the con- servation plank of his 26-plank plat- form in his talk here. He pledged his full co-operation to the Florida Forest Service and the agricultural extension service in promoting for- estry to keep pulp mills in opera- tion and sawmills going. He also called for the removal of the Florida Game & Fresh Water Fish Commission from politics. He pledged his assistance in working with sportsmen of Gulf coun'.' in getting enough game for "your chil- dren, my children and adults alike to hunt."

Would Eliminate Grade Cross- ing At New YArd'1Under Construction Due to expansion of the St. Joe Paper Company mill, which will call for additional space both for storage and for increased loading and shipping facilities, the Ap- alachicola Northern Railroad Com- pany, as you may have noticed, is constructing a new yard east of the city on the WVewahitchka road, which will partially occupy land formerly used for a city dump. With work on the project pro- gressing rapidly, the company has made an appeal to the state road department to construct an over- pass on the highway at that point, pointing out that it would con- tribute much toward safety of traf- fic on the highway. J. L. Sharit, A. N. vice-president, who appeared before the road de- partment board, said the company would give the necessary right-of- way for such an overpass, because its construction would give much more space for cars and eliminate much switching, in addition to re- moving many of the hazards that would result from operating over grade crossings. He added that per- haps a detour of the highway could be built around the crossing if the construction of an overpass did not seem practical. -------- -- Revival Service Will Open At Mission Baptist Church A large attendance is in prospect at the Highland View Baptist Mis- sion Church all next week as prep- arations go forward for the first revival meeting.

Baseball Is Assured For St. Joe This Year Four Teams Already In Loop With Possibly Two More; First Game Set for May 7 Baseball fans of St. Joe have been worrying considerably as to whether or not we would have a Promises of This and That Made; One Speaker Hurls Charge of 'Termites' In Our County Government Your editor finally got around to attending one of the county politi- cal rallies, that at White City.last Saturday afternoon which was pre- sented under the sponsorship of Cecil E. Glass and Carter Ward. We had been hearing that some hot and heavy oratory had been go- ing on at these gatherings, but we were disappointed Saturday, the only passage out of the ordinary being a reference to "termites" in our county government. Floyd Lister acted as emcee for the affair and introduced the sen- atorial candidates first. George Tapper informed his lis- teners that he is standing on his past record as representative and pointed out that he has worked continuously for the people of Gulf county and will continue to work for the betterment of Gulf county and the other three counties in the district if elected. "There's a rumor beingcirculated that I'm against homestead exemp- tion," he said, "but I want to scotch that by saying the law is in the state constitution and me nor any other legislator can do away with it. It can't be changed except by the people themselves." Ben Williams, the other sena- torial aspirant, said "I'm not ask- ing you to send me to Tallahassee to do what I want to do, but to do, what you want me to do. "I am not controlled by big busi- ness, but am the people's candidate and if elected I will unlock the gates in Gulf county put across the CCC roads by the St. Joe Paper' Company so that you and me and our children can go out in the piney woods and fish in the streams and ponds which are now cut off from access by the paper company." Holding forth on the state sales tax, Ben said he would repeal the tax on clothing costing over $10 and was opposed to any increase in the sales tax. Representative Candidates Cecil Costin Jr., was next in line baseball team this season-many as a candidate for representative. of them turning prematurely gray. in the legislature. He said that the Well, we can now assure them that their worries are over, for negotia- tions have been completed for a Gulf Coast League loop. In addition to Port St. Joe, the teams already in are Apalachicola, Blountstown and Tallahassee. The loop may be swelled to six teams if Tyndall Air Base and the Navy Countermines Station come in. A meeting was held at Blountstown last night to discuss this possibil- ity. First game for the Saints will be on Wednesday, May 7, with the Apalachicola Oystermen. Leonard Belin, who will be man- ager of the Saints, informs us that the teams this year will be made up strictly of local talent and that practice will 'be held every after- noon at 5:15 at the 'ball park. He asks anyone interested in trying for a place on the team to turn out at that time. Commission Meeting Advanced Due to the fact that the regular meeting date of the city commis- sion falls on election day, May 6. the meeting has been advanced to Tuesday, April 29, at 8 p. m. Any- one with any business to bring up is asked to be present on that date. matter of teachers' salaries, sales tax and such are not the real is- sues, but that "the real issues are the things that come up in Gulf county." "I make no promises," he said, "but I will earnestly strive for en- actment of laws that would work for the interestof the people of our county." C. C. Wilson, his opponent, ar- rived late and spoke briefly, saying among other things that he appre- ciated the vote received in White City in the past, "even though it was negligible." Tax Assessor Aspirants The tax assessor candidates were next in line, starting off with B. B. Conklin, who informed the gather- ing that "If elected I will conduct the duties of tax assessor in a fair, impartial and businesslike manner, and will be in my office at all times I am supposed to be there--and no man can pledge any more than that. After my four years you can pat yourself on the back for elect- ing the best tax assessor you ever had."

As you know, I've always looked out for those having homestead exemptions and wtill do so in the future." Felton "Preacher" Smith, third candidate in this race, was not on hand to present his case. District 1 Commission Candidates Six of the seven candidates for county commissioner in District 1 were on hand, Henry Bozemanbe- ing the first. "I'm promising the same thing as the other six-fair, square and impartial administra- tion of county affairs. And 1 won't promise to 'open any gates' put up by the DuPont interests." Roy Connell told of his 1S years spent off and on as a commissioner and said members of the board need ability and character. "In my time on the board I've seen men there with ability but no character and vice versa. I believe I have the ability and the character." Cecil E. Glass said he would do his best to handle the business,of the county "as I have labored for my 12 children. There have are a termites in our county government but With the proper light on these termites they will disappear, and I promise to shine that light on them if elected." Jack Taylor merely asked for support and told his listeners to ask anyone who knew him about his character and ability. 'Doc Whitfield said he merely got up on the platform to let the voters see him. "If you like my looks and think I'll make you a good commis- sioner, just vote for me on May 6," he said. Tobe Gay, incumbent merely re- quested the people to re-elect him .if they thought he had made them a good commissioner. Tom McDaniel, the seventh can- didate was not present. District 3 Commission Candidates J. C. Arbogast started off the commissioner candidates for Dis- trict 3; -3 yn, that he wasn't a politician and "I can't make any big promises, but if elected will do the very best I know how. Inciden- tally, I believe the county can op- erate on present revenue and we don't need any new taxes." George Davis followed, giving a definition of a politician. "A poli- tician," he said, "is one who runs part of the time for public offuie and part of the time running to save his own skin. I'm thankful I'm not a politician! If elected I can only promise one thing-to serve all parns of Gulf county in an im- partial manner." Parker G. Hart said: "I believe I can make a good commissioner and serve fairly and impartially. I want any or all of you to tell me to my face where I hae failed to serve xy u if elected to this office.'' John Story: "!I'm just an average man who wants to serve for the good of the people of the county." Pete Strange. incumbent: "The only promise i made during, the last campaign was to be fair to all and I have been a man who has tried to do his best while in of- fice." He stressed the road work done in the county and the fact that the millage has been lowered since he went into office. District 5 Commission Candidates The District 5 aspirant were next to stagger to the microphone, with George Cooper first. "I've been skinning your faces and your poc- ketbooks for the past 15 years," he said, "so you know me too well for me to try to tell you of my capabil- ities. Only thing- I can promise you is a fair and impartial administra- tion of county affairs." John Dickey: "Im making no promises-unlike most politicians. I would like to make a few changes in our county government, and I particularly would like to preserve the old cemetery at St. Joe and also see a cemetery at St. Joe." Foy Scheffer Jr.: "I am with the people, of the people and for the people of Gulf county, and if I am elected I will still be with you, of you and for you." J. F. Miller, incumbent, started off by saying "There's not much left for me to say. I never have heard so many candidates who weren't making promises, but I've' heard so many promises here to- day that there's nothing left for me to promise." He pointed oht that all the new paving on county roads does not come out of county funds, according to a rumor, but from 80% of the 7-cent gas tax refund to the county "and so this paving is paid for by those driving cars." He con- cluded by saying, "I've got a name for being honest, and I ought to know, as I put it out myself." One School Board Candidate Carter )Vard was .the only can- didate for school board member on hand. "There's no use in me mak- ing any promises." he said, 'cause I probably couldn't keep 'emr if I did. The only thing I'll promise you to to work hard for our schools."

Our Country Right or Wrong THE LITTLE GUY IS GOING CRAZY Your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman is getting ideas of grandeur similar to those held by the late Adolph Schickelgruber (Adolf Hitler to you). Being queried by newspaper men after his grab of the steel mills as to whether or not the president could also seize the nation's newspa- pers and radio stations, he replied that under similar circumstances the president of the United States has to act for whatever is for the best of the country. "That is your answer," he added. This crazy little guy apparently didn't take into consideration the fact that the steel mills are not organs of public opinion, while the news- papers are, and, as one editor pointed out, if the president could take over the newspapers and radio stations, he would also have the power to seize farms on the basis that the cost of food is too high. He could tell the farmers that the government is taking over their property and setting prices on food. And, just to show you that he's getting nt- tier than a fruitcake, the other day he told the Rural Electric Co-operative Association that the use of advertising is socialistic in nature because it is deductible as an expense for income tax purposes, and therefore the public pays much of the cost. If your friend (he ain't ours) Harry figures that utility advertising is an expense borne by all taxpayers, and by that token social- ism, he must, by the same reasoning, consider all business which advertises as socialistic. Just how crazy can a person get? Trouble with most of our "relief" agencies is that the bigwigs get the relief and those who really need relief get the leavings. A real politician is one who can throw his hat in the ring without endangering his scalp. Service Officer Coming lems.

S TAKES FIRST PLACE IN CLASS "A" IN THE 1952 M-obi5lgas Economy i Ford's the Class "A" Winner Run - wf Ford Mileageor 3rd Consecutive Year! New Ford Mileage Maker SIX Thriftiest in its Field! Again this year ... as in the past two years Ford was first in gas economy over all other cars in its price class in the Mobilgas Economy Run. In this toughest test, a stock model Ford Six equipped with Overdrive (optional at extra cost) averaged 53.855 ton-miles per gallon and 25.463 actual miles per gallon. This was a very special triumph for Ford's All-New MileageMaker high-compression Six. For now, with its new design providing 101- horsepower and free-turning overhead valves, Ford is definitely pound-for-pound the most economical low-priced car to run! Yes .. Ford's thrift was clearly proved by the 1,415-mile grind from Los Angeles to Sun Valley. And a very important factor contributing to this victory is Ford's Automatic Power Pilot which squeezes the last ounce of power out of every drop of gas. *The AAA Contest Board determines the wminnr by "ton-mlle per ollon" formula to insure equal chance for all cars in each class regardless of sixe and weight. Ton-miles per gallon equals the car weight (including posengers) in tons, multi- plied by number of miles travelled, divided by number of gallons consumed. "Test Drive" the Economy Winner Today!

He said he would rather be re- OPEN YOUR EARS OPEN YOUR EYES McGOWIN MOTOR COMPANY 102 Fourth Street Port St. Joe, Florida a new hospital for the insane at Chattahoochee than one "who built a new supreme court building at Tallahassee." One of the highlights of his talk was his stand on agriculture. He said: "The progress of agriculture in Florida is vital to the state's growth. My administration rill be dedicated to close co-operation with agricultural interests of the state. I favor the removal of the state gasoline tax on gasoline consumed in farm equipment not used on the public highways, and in commer- cial fishing boats." He hit hard at the governmental economy plank of his platform, call- ing for a "ceiling on state taxes." "Our folks just can't stand any more topside efficiency in govern- ment, we can run the government on existing revenue." A cost-of-living pay increase for teachers also seemed one of the primary thoughts in the candidate's mind. He said that teachers must be paid on a level that will com- pete with private enterprise to as- sure "your children and mine" of an educational future. Don Linton In F. S. U.

The board approved one applica- tion for old age assistance one for aid to dependent children, and one for aid to the blind for Gulf county. Mrs. W. O. Anderson of this city is also a member of the board. There are several eligibility re- quirements which must be met be- fore a person can receive assist- ance from the welfare department, Bellows pointed out. All of them are considered when board mem- bers review applications. The ma- jor consideration is the question of need, since the amounts of all grants are based on that. It Pays To Advertise Try It.

While he carried our picture along with his, we do ap- preciate his having placed ours above his, for we never did like cigar ashes in our hair. And that's as .sure what would have happened as heck, had he placed his picture over ours, for in his picture he was chewing on a cigar which from all indications was literally dripping with flakes of ashes on the burning end. "Bill would have done right to have let well enough alone and printed only our picture in that last outburst-but then if too many of his readers become unhappy about tire comparison, he can make a hasty retreat to that new addi- tion to his shop and become a rail- road man while things are cooling off." That last line is in reference to the paper storage room we added recently and which our wife claims we built especially for our "St. Joseph & Lake Wimico Railroad & Oanal Company," which occupies ,Me greater portion of the available floor space.

Adams was speaking of a secret memorandum he revealed to a Mi- ami audience earlier, which he said linked associates of W. H. Johns- ton with a plan to construct the turnpike without competitive bids, without approval of the legislature and without approval of the people. Adams also promised to "take state employes out from under the lash of the politicians" through his plan of reorganization of the execu- tive branch of government. "The day Alto Adams takes of- fice, the ward heel system will be thrown out of state offices," he as- serted, adding that state employes would know that tleir positions would be secure -just as long as they done a good job. *--------r--'-'----" Advertising doesn't cost-it pays! plumber and pipe-fitter, and he in- formed us that he had just returned from a trip to Seguina, Texas, a distance of 1067 miles as the Brod- nax flies.
