Tense Excitement


In Ancient City As


Convention Opens


Outlook Dark At Times for
Successful Completion of
Historic Document

(Fifth of a series of articles on the rise
and decline of the old city of St. Joseph.)
We can imagine the tense excite-
ment of the Saints as Monday, De-
cember 3, 1838, the day set for open-
ing of the convention, approached.
When the delegates from East and
Middle Florida arrived from St.
Marks on the steamer New Castle,
either late on Saturday or some
time Sunday, the residents of the
town knew that the long awaited
day was at hand.
When the meeting was called to
order at 12 o'clock noon on Decem-
ber 3, forty-six members were pres-
ent ouitof a total of fifty-six. After
a temporary organization had been
perfected, one of the residents of
St. Joseph, Rev. Peter W. Gautier,
opened the -convention with prayer.
Little work was done on the first
day, except to examine credentials
of the members. Then the conven-
tion adjourned until the next day,
thus giving the delegates and in-
habitants a further opportunity to
get acquainted.
Many Influential Men Present
The Saints'learned to know some
of the '~ s- Inf lnrial nimn in. rhe.
bi-tory of Amif-'ican Fih.,'iia prior
to 1870. There s ere present at least
two, probably three, future gover-
nors of Florida--Rbert Raymond
Reid, within a year to succeed Rich-
ard K. Call as territorial governor;
William Marvin of Key West, who
more than 25 years later was chosen
provisional governor at the close of
the Civil War, and Thomas Brown
of Leon county, probably the same
man who was governor of the state
from 1849 to 1853.
The first'three United States sen-
ators from Florida were members
of the convention-James D. West-
cott Jr.,. David Levy Yulee (his
name at this time was David Levy)
and Jackson Morton. Five of them
sat in the :Secession Convention
which declared the state no longer

Too Hot To Write News, So We

Clip From Our Contemporaries


With the thermometer hitting in
the neighborhood of 100 degrees
or so during the week, Ye Ed finds
it just too doggone hot to gather
and wriie s~e s s'i we grabbed ip
a pair ofi -hears and looked through"
our exchanges fqr items 'to fill up
the rag. .. F'instance, Joe Mal-
pas of the Wakulla County News
says:
RIGHT NOW WE LOVE
THOSE POTATOES
We never were especially fond
of potatoes, but right now we love
'em. We love 'em because it ap-
pears that the spuds have gone un-
derground in a big way. The farmer
digs 'em up, and that is the last
anyone ever hears of the things.
In all of this planned economy,
which is just another way of say-
ing "you fool people have no sense
and so we, the government, will
tell you what to do and when"-
some weird things happen. First,
we have too many spuds and our
all-wise Ibureaucrats take 'em out
and dye 'em blue. Then we don't
have any, and the folks who live
off them are maybe supposed to
turn blue. We dunno anything about
the entire mess, but we do know
that something is wrong-and our
French fries are about gone.

And up there in Walton county,
Jim Griffin of the DeFuniak Springs
Breeze has this to say:
THE ELECTION'S OVER,
LET'S FORGET ITI
We have been .approached sev-
eral times lately by people who
want to say this, or that, about
candidates who were defeated or
who weren't defeated.
We have refused one and all.
We feel that the election is over.
The people have spoken, as the
saying goes, and- it is time to for-
get-the whole thing, and everybody
should be friends again. In the heat
of an election, it is very easy to
get mad with your best friend, or,
in some cases, even with your wife,
but once it's over we think every-
one should forgive and forget.
We're not mad with anybody, and
we sincerely hope that those folks
who failed to agree with us on our
politics will forget it, as we have,
and let's save out ammunition until
next election.


And now we hop over to Bristol,
in Liberty county, where Alwin C.
Weaver handsets the Bristol Free
Presi:
BRISTOL RRPSbMISEO. LOCAL
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE
Efforts of local citizens to se-
cure improved telephone service for
Bristol were rewarded .with the
promise of .the installation of a
telephone exchange and dial sys-
tem by Joe Sharit, manager of the
St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph
Company, at a meeting in the court
house Tuesday night. Public inter-
est in securing this service dates
back to 1947 and this big step came
only after diligent work.
The results of a recent survey
has been turned over to the tele-
phone company, and this report
shows that more than 1,00 tele-
phones are needed in this area. Mr.
Sharit agreed to place the required
service in Bristol if as many as 75
subscribers in a one-mile radius of
Bristol wanted telephones.

Going still further afield, we hop
over to Jacksonville and clip this
from Sam Melson's Chronicle:
SAYS PROPOSED ELECTION
LAW IS GOOD THING
Reports emanating from Tallahas-
see that several unidentified legis-
lators propose to sponsor a law
making operation of a political poll
for profit a felony, were greeted
here with derision by Joe Abram,
conductor of the Florida Political
Poll and Survey, at whom the pro-
posed law undoubtedly is aimed.
"I am for it," Abram told the
Chronicle, "because I operate my
poll with subscribers, just like a
newspaper."
Friends of defeated candidates
were said to be behind the sug-
gested law, figuring that Abrams'
state-wide issuance of a prediction
that Dan McCarty would'win in the
first primary was a valuable factor
in McCarty missing that mark by
1.06% only of the total vote.
Provisions of the new law would
forbid taking of polls for profit;
would specifically prohibit a polls-
ter from soliciting money from a
candidate; would make violation a
felony with imprisonment up to
one year and a day for an indi-
vidual or a fine of $1000, or both;
with a $5000 fine for a corporation.

Our Country "=tC Right or Wrong

TO FATHERS
We, as a sentimental folk, must follow up that
iday when Mother is crowned with laurels by
.seeing that Father comes into his deserved own.
It might have been more prudent to take the
two Sundays, the one last month and next Sun-
,day, June 15, consolidate them and have "Par-
ent's Day," when both loved ones divide the
honors equally. But far be it from us to lessen
.the profits of business!
There would be the purchasing of one com-
:bined gift for Dad and Mother, the buying of
one card for the parents, the sending of one pot
of flowers. The necktie and hosiery dealers
would have to give the household appliance
,dealers a break, for how often Father has come
in for a share of an electric waffle iron or dripo-
1lator. Many a dad has shares in a new lamp for
Ithe living room and a half interest in a pair of
.andirons at Christmas. We know of one fellow
here in St. Joe who was satisfied with a bit of
stock in a washing machine, and we believe he
is looking for a family gift of an electric ironer
from Santa's copious pack come Yuletide.
'So perhaps we should let Father have his day,
undivided iifhonor, when such a deserving fel-
low comes into ties and socks, shirts and pajamas,
to share with no one, not even a grown son who
wears the same size! What difference if colors
are too loud, socks too large, shirt necks too


small? All will work out. The idea is to give
Father respect and tributes, to make him" know
what joy it has given you to have him for a Dad,
the love and fellowship of such a good guy.
Next Sunday is the time to say it!

COMMUNIST MEDICINE
In a recent editorial the Washington Post
said: "In considering the various proposals be-
fore congress to give government medicine to
various segments of the population, we have to
keep in mind where such laws lead. ... .Our
federal planners are jumping the British stage
and moving straight to federally financed medi-
cine, a la Russia."
The Post then described the experience of a
doctor who worked in the Soviet Union for 17
years and is now in the United States. In the
average Russian community, he said, patients
have no choice of physician-a bureau controls
all medical practice and people are assigned to
a given clinic. The clinics'are further divided
into districts, each of which has a doctor and a
nurse who are supposed to serve 2000 to 3000
inhabitants. During his office hours, the doctor
is able to give about five minutes to each patient
because of the crowd. On house calls he can
spare about ten minutes. Hospitals are jammed.
One result of this kind of political medical care
is that the tuberculosis death rate in Russia is
six times higher than in the United States.
You can say that conditions would be entirely
different here, even under tle administration's
compulsory health insurance scheme. But the
fact is-and history has demonstrated it over and
over again-that a little bit of socialism, a little
bit of dictatorship, always leads to more and
more. There's one thing the typical bureaucrat
can't get enough of-and that is power over the
people.
No major nation enjoys health standards as
high as the United States. In none is better or
more comprehensive medical care available to
the masses of people. This is the achievement of
free medicine working in a free country. Will we
be blind enough to let the politicians force so-
cialized medicine down our throats?

It isn't so'hard to find a parking place on the
streets since the St. Joe city commission passed
that two-hour parking limit-especially if you're
walking.


Green Chicken Feed
If green crops are growing on
your farm, they can be cut and fed
to layers at the rate of five pounds
a day for each 100 hens. Use of
these greens will reduce feed costs
and improve the health of the flock.


For Heating
The Brightray series of alloys are
composed of nickel-chromium or
nickel-chromium-iron alloys pro-
duced, under carefully controlled
conditions, principally for use in
electric heating elements.

TENSE EXCITEMENT


(Continued from page 1)
a member of the Union, in January,
1861-John McGehee, who became
president of the Secession Conven-
.tion; George T. Ward, Samuel B.
Stephens, James G. Cooper and
Jackson Morton. F. Carrington Ca-
bell became a Florida representa-
tive in congress.;
At least five members of the fu-
ture supreme court of the state
were members of the convention-
Benjamin D. Wright, Walker An-
derson, Thomas Baltzell, Leslie A.
Thompson and Albert G. Semmes.
Not only were the future political
and judicial leaders of the state at
this gathering, but the two great-
est newspaper editors of territorial
Florida were delegates, Benjamin
D. Wright, the able editor and pub-
lisher of the Pensacola Gazette, and
Cosam Emir Bartlett, the clever and
kindly leader of the Apalachicola
Gazette. Another able editor, Josh-
ua Knowles of the Florida Watch-
man of Tallahassee, was chosen as
secretary of the convention, but he
was' not a delegate.
All in all, it may be truthfully
.said that never before nor since
have so many able men ,been gath-
ered at one time in a Florida town,
and that town not four years old.
Allen Saves the Day
The convention continued in ses-
sion to January 11. 1839-a dura-
tion three times as long as had
been anticipated. Though the pro-
ceedings- ordinarily were of little
interest to the populace, there- were
occasions when the attention of al-
most everybody was aroused. Their
delegate, Duval, lost the chairman-
ship of the convention by one vote
to Judge Reid, but as a partial com-
pensation for this disappointment
he was made chairman of the com-
mittee of the executive department,
and Richard C. Allen of the com-
mittee on the judicial department.
Thorugh all the sessions these two
men played very prominent parts.

outlook for the successful comple-
tion of the constitution was very
dark, when the convention had come
to an apparent stalemate over the
adoption of the important Article
XIII on "Banks and Other Corpora-
tions," after long, tedious and acri-
monious debates, then Allen saved
the day by proposing, on January
5, the 14th section of the article,
which was immediately adopted by
an overwhelming vote. With the
signing of the completed document
on the afternoon of January 11, 1839,


St. Joseph was assured of a promi-

,HoMe Demonstration

Group Takes Gifts and

Makes Tour of Asylum

Activities and Work Performed At
Institution Proves Enlight-
ening To Many

By MADALEINE WHITAKER
Wednesday of last week twelve
members of Home Demonstration
Olubs' of Gulf county and two visit-
ors made a tour of the asylum at
Chattahoochee, taking with them
,many gifts and materials for the
workshops, which proved a day of
enlightenment for the majority of
the group.
They were ushered into the first
building by Miss Parker, nurse in
charge of occupational therapy,
where they met Mrs. J. W. Dor-
mann, head of the white female de-
partment, and found that in that
one building alone there were 1,840
patients. Mrs. Dormann, who has
seen 30 years of service in care of
the insane, is a gracious and lovely
woman who holds out hope for even
the most hopeless under her care.
It is a locked-in city in itself,
housing the mildly deranged to the
violent cases. The visitors were al-
lowed to visit every ward and found
that the only restraint practiced
/ was the locked doors entering each
ward. There are no straightjackets
or padded cells. Every patient is
treated as an individual and is ad-
vanced from ward to ward as they
are prepared to once more take
their places Iback in their homes.
The admittance center is in the
R. A. Gray building and houses
about 200. There you find the shock
and other therapy treatments. The
shock treatment is applied electri-
city through the 'brain, and a vio-
lent patient, knowing not even her
name, will, after the second treat-
ment, be able to identify herself
and coherently relate details of her
past life.
Mrs. George, Lawrence conducted
the group through the building and
lectured upon advancement, of the
patients until they reached the
wonderful social center where pa-
tients.-were almost-ready to leave
for home.' There they wore their
own clothes, sewed, played bridge,
wrote letters, etc.
Next was' the men's woodcraft
department, where the visitors were
allowed to buy some of the fin-
ished articles, baskets, trays, door
ornaments, lamps, chairs, tables,
etc., which w e r e exquisitely fin-
ished. One man could not read,
write nor speak, yet he had been
taught to run a small circular saw
that cut out all the patterns. Along
one side of the building there was
a porch, heavily screened, where
many walked back and forth in the
sunshine filtering down thru the
shade trees.
The woman's sewing center was
an intensely interesting place, and


the most beautiful embroidery, that
took hours of concentration, was
being done. The healing power of
that concentration was doing its
wonderful work and bringing the
women back to health and happi-
ness.
Miss Dora Fulgham is superinten-
dent of nurses, and she cordially
invites 'any group of people to come
inspect, see and hear the things
that are 'being done for the many
who are confined at Chattahoochee;
that love, kindness and constant
watchful care are the orders for all
who work under her.
Those making the trip were Miss
Ruth Milton, home demonstration
agent; Mrs. J. A. Glenn, Mrs. Roy

It is estimated that there are ap-
proxima.tely 53,000 unknown cases r
of tuberculosis, syphilis and dia-
betes in Florida today. That is the
challenge facing the physicians and '
public authorities of our state.
The multiphasic survey to be con-
ducted next month in Gulf county
by the state board of health may be
termed as a "health detective,"
screening the population of the
county, searching and striving to
locate Gulf county's share of this
number.
They are unknown because these
diseases can remain undetected for
a long time, and an examination by
a doctor and laboratory tests are
necessary to identify them.

Apalachicola Takes
Close Tilt From Saints

With Score 7-0 In Seventh, Saints
Come Through With Seven
Runs But Lose Anyhow
The St. Joe Saints dropped their
game with Apalachicola here Wed-
nesday night by a 9-8 count after
chalking up seven runs in the 7th
inning to tie the score.
The Oystermen, behind the hurl-
ing of Cottie Hendels, held St. Joe
scoreless for the first six frames
while shoving over seven runs for
themselves, one in the first and
three each in the second and third.
The Saints were in scoring posi-
tion in the second and fifth innings
but failed to make the grade. How-
ever, all was forgiven in the lucky
seventh when Susege, new Saint
backstop, was walked, McFarland
singled to left and Fleming got on
with a long single to center which.


allowed Susege to cross the plate.
Bennie Burke was hit by Hendels
for a walk to load the bases and
Fish Herring lammed a hot one
down the third base line to drive in
McFarland and Fleming. Tommy
Mitchell fouled out to the catcher
and Belin singled to again load the
bases. Bert Cox, who has been hit-
ting regularly, doubled .to center to
allow Burke, Herring and Belin to
scamper home, making it 6-7. Cox
went to third on a balk by Hendels
and Susege was safe on an error
by the shortstop, Cox coming in on
the play te tie the score.
It was three up and three down
for both teams in the eighth, and
in the ninth the Oystermen made
two more runs on two walks and
two errors.:
St. Joe could have made it 9-9 in
the bottom of the ninth had not
Belin attempted to stretch a two-
base hit to three after driving in
Mitchell.
Tom McDaniel started on the
mound for the Saints, but was re-


lived in the second by Bill Flem-
ing after Apalachicola had scored
three runs. Hendels went the route
for the Oystermen. Strikeouts were
few and far between, Fleming get-
ting 3, Hendels 3, and McDaniel 1.
The Saints defeated Blountstown
16-2 here last week annd are sched-
uled to play a return tilt in Apa-
lachicola Sunday.
