County Health Survey
Showing Good Results

While the four-way county-wide
health test being conducted by the
state board of health apparently
will not exceed last year in the
number of tests given, health au-
thorities are well pleased with the
showing.
As The Star went to press Thurs-
day morning there had been 1,896
blood tests given and 2,184 X-rays.
This compares with 2,348 X-rays
given in 1950; 2,201 in 1948, and
1,776 in 1947. Blood tests, in a search
for anemia, diabetes and syphilis,
were not given previous to 1952. .
The survey was to end Thursday
afternoon, and it was hoped that
those taking advantage of the tests
will equal or possibly exceed the
1950 total.

TAPPER LIKES HULA DANCERS
AT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
A news dispatch from the Demo-
cratic national convention going on
at Chicago quotes George Tapper,
attending the shindig as the official
representative of Governor Fuller
Warren, as enjoying an impromptu
Hawaiian hula dance staged Mon-
day midnight during a recess.
To quote: 'ia'was a cwelE show
while it lasted, but what followed
on the loyalty business was as sur-


prising as if I had been hit over
the head with a West Florida
light'rd knot."
Ed Ramsey, who accompanied
George to Chicago, phoned his wife
that he was having the time of .his
life and was ensconced in a suite
reserved for Bob Sikes on the,41st
floor of a hotel overlooking Lake
Michigan.

Herring crossed the plate as El-
more Maxwell, backstop for the
Oystermen, let the ball get away
from him on the throw from the
field.
The final score was made in the
bottom of the fifth' when, with two

hit to the left field wall. From then
on neither team scored, although
St. Joe threatened in the seventh
and the Oystermen started a rally
in the ninth.
Sunday's Game
In the first tilt of the three-game
playoff, St. Joe defeated Apalachi-
cola 9-6 at the neighboring city,
scoring five runs in the third inn-
ing to overcome a two-run lead held
by the Oystermen, and went on to
win. Fish Herring chalked up a
homer in the third to set the pace
for the Saints. Salamona, on the
mound for St. Joe, gave up 12 hits
and four walks, and Cottie Hendels
allowed the Saints 12 hits and one
free pass in eight innings, and D.

walk in the ninth canto.

Cranberry Jelly
One of the natural characteristics
of cranberry jelly and other tart
fruit jelly is to "weep" after the
mold is cut. To prevent this, place
cranberry jelly in smaller molds
so that all of-it will be used up at
one meal. Then none will be left
'to stand' and "weep."

I WHY SWELTER IN THE HEAT?.. COOL OFF AT BOYLES!


Everyone who likes adventure
and excitement, who thrills to the
beauty of scenic splendor, who has
a feeling for drama, romance and
suspense will find great reward in
"Lure of the Wilderness," Twenti-
eth Century-Fox's glowing Techni-
color hit playing at the Port Thea-
ter Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
"Lure of the Wilderness" takes
you into k land that defies the pen-
etration of time and man -Geor-
gia's danger infested, spectacular
Okefenokee Swamp, bringing to the
-screen a new background of natural
grandeur, a region which rivals the
jungles of Africa and Brazil for
treacherous underfooting, discern-
ing sounds and primitive wildlife, a
place in our modern time where
men disappear and are never heard
of again.
Against this unusual background
is woven an unusual tale of primi-
tive emotions and rugged adven-


ture, a story of a man and his daugh-,
ter, fugitives from the law, who
have lived in the swamp for eight
years until their sanctuary is in-
vaded by a young Georgian. Before
the narrative winds its course, you
are treated to a death-defying un-
derwater battle between man and
alligator, the onrushing charge of a
black panther, the sting of the
deadly cottonmouth and the pul-
sating hunt for otter and black
bears.
Jean Peters is perfect as the -un-
civilized girl who darts through the
foliage with bow and arrow. Jeffry
Hunter, as the youth who wanders
into the swamp, comes into his own
with a fine portrayal of a native
Georgian.
You would not believe it if some-
one told you such a place existed in
modern America. But it does. Don't
fail to see this picture playing at
the Port Theater.

NEW NEIGHBORS?
Coincident with the navy's announcement that
one of their rockets has traveled at a speed of
1,238 miles per hour, thus smashing the sonic
barrier like a baseball going through the school-
house window, comes word from the air force
that no less than 60 flying saucers have been re-
.ported within a two-weeks period. Among these
observers were two veteran pilots who saw
"eight glowing, red-orange discs" traveling, they
said, at 1000 miles per hour.
Far from disparging any such expert testi-
mrony, we are passing on this information for the
benefit of readers of The Star so that, if you wall
into your kitchen some morning and find a Mar-
tian with a pointed head and four arms foraging
for breakfast, you will keep calm and show him
how to use your orange juicer and electric perc-
olator. After all, it pays to be a good neighbor.

A court in New Mexico awarded a store clerk
$309 in compensation, damages and medical ex-
penses for injuries suffered in fitting a girdle on
a customer. The plaintiff received a sprained
wrist and finger. That's what she gets for trying
to make a molehill out of a mountain.

Stay on your job, work hard and pay your
taxes, think how many people working for the
government are depending on you.-North

Gulf county has been included in
a "gas buffer zone" of 162 counties
lying west of the eastern seabord
rationing area created by the War
Production Board, and gasoline de-
liveries here have been cut 25 per
cent. The cut in supply is designed
to prevent rationed motorists from
crossing the boundary line to get
unlimited motor fuel. Service sta-
tidns in the zone can operate only
'72 hours per week and not more
than 12 hours daily.

Since the turn of the century,
when oil drillers discovered sulphur
beneath the Gulf Coast in Texas
and Louisiana, America has become
the world's major producer of this
indispensable mineral Sulphur,
pumped in molten form from great
underground salt domes, is over 99
per cent pure as it comes from the
wells.


A Boon to Engineers
A new iron is now available -for .
industry. Unlike ordinary cast-iroi
it is not brittle and can be bent or
twisted. The new material, known
as Ductile Iron, can be made readi-
ly and economically and at the
same time has several times great-
er strength than ordinary cast iron
with greater ductility and shock re-
sistance.


I


OLD STUFF
The editor of The Star has just received a re-
lease from the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and if the prognostications of their statisticians
turn out correct, by 1970 the American farm,
nostalgic centerpiece of song and story, will be
about as romantic as the St. Joe Paper Company
mill or Frank Hannon's insurance office.
There will be 400,000 less farms, a total of a
bare 5,000,000, and 34,000,000 more people to
feed. In the meantime, the rush of farmers and
farm workers for town will continue, 6,000,000
having left in the last four years.
But-we're not going to starve, they tell us-
nor will we have to live on synthetic foods. By
1970 the 5,000,000 farms will be business insti-
tutions, the old-fashioned family-farm merely a
tender memory. On these highly-mechanized,
precision-operated farms every cow and chicken,
pig and sheep will have a production quota to
meet, and the mere handful of supermen who
will run them will be too busy to go fishing or
waste time going to town or reading the mail-
order catalog or shooting a deer or a quail in or
out of season.
Somehow, 1970 seems a bit too soon for all
this. It will take a lot of doing to stop the spring
song of the meadow lark, the enticing siren song
of the brook over the stones, to stifle the perfume
of fresh-cut hay or the urge to pet a starry-eyed
calf, to say nothing of the narcotic delight of
just lying on your back in a clover patch and
watching the clouds roll by.

The CIO wants union barbers to put in a good
word for labor while chatting with customers.
Well, when a barber has a razor at one's throat,
the customer cannot do much except listen.
Which reminds us of the one-armed customer
who got into the chair and the barber asked:
"Haven't you been in my chair before?" "No,"
replied the customer, "I lost my arm in a saw
mill."-Coatesville (Pa.) Record.

The admonition that it is unwise to swap
horses while crossing a stream has its origin in
venerable folklore. Lincoln first gave it political
significance, using the expression several times
in his campaign of 1864. A contemporary ob-
server opines: "One good reason for swapping
horses is that it takes the new ones a little longer
to find the feed box."-Chicago Northwest Times

Seeding Lawns
Scotta Lawn Research which has
made a specialty of beautiful turf
for eighty years says that most
lawn owners reseed bare spots in
the spring which is not the best
season for it. The best season, the
experts say, is early fall when
nights are cool, days warm and
there is frequent rainfall, the ideal
growing combination


They Loved Beauty, Too
At the time'of Louis XVI, highly
polished dark woods were used for
the large pieces of furniture. The
lighter pieces were often painted
or enameled in white or paletints
-or lacquered in the Chinese man-

of the dhy were often painted a
pastel tint overlaid with delicate
garlands and Watteau figures.

Question Is Whether Accumulation
In System Over Period of
Years May Do Harm

By RUSSELL KAY
The movement to add inorganic
fuorine to municipal drinking wa-
ter is .being discussed pro and con
in a number of cities. Right now
several Florida cities are consider-
ing the proposition and some pretty
hot debates between proponents.
and opponents have developed.
Those favoring the use of fluor-
ine contend that it will protect the
teeth of children and prevent tooth
decay. Many dentists advcoate its
ise, as do some doctors aid health
-authorities.
For the most part, the general
public is completely in the dark on
the subject. Stop the average citi-
zen on the street and ask him if he
thinks it would be good or bad to
add fluorine to his drinking water
and he will give you a blank look
and ask: "What the heck is flour-
ine?"
Most of the supporters of the
fluoridation advocates come from
so-called authorities, and this has
been publicized and commercially
exploited by those who would profit
from installations, supplies and
equipment that would have to be
installed at the taxpayers' expense
once the city council gave the pro-
ject the green light.
Not all medical or dental authori-
ties. are in-favor of the fluorine pro-
gram, and some are very much op-
posed to it. Private citizens who
have' studied 'the proposition are
questioning either the necessity or
wisdom of including an inorganic
chemical, know. to 'be poison, in
public drinking water.
Whether. fluorine does or does
not benefit a person hy;t e trn,
tooth decay, when w- .?' ,-m t.,r 1
to include it in our drinking:water
we are compelling every citizen to
subjecf'himself to this toxic chemi-
cal whether he wants it or not.
The case for fluorine is far from
definitely determined. Its use in
drinking water has not been prac-
ticed a sufficient -length of time to
learn whether in the long run it
will prove beneficial or not. While
it may help prevent tboth'decay in
children, no one knows what the
accumulation of this poison in a
person's system over the years
may do to a person in later, life.
The average American citizen is
already consuming day after day
quite a considerable quantity of
toxic, chemical substances whose
lohg-range effects on the human
'body are not known. To add an-
other chemical (which may or may
not have certain ,anti-tooth-decay
factors for young children) might
prove to be a costly and colossal
'blunder, since the full effects of
such action will not be known until
these children reach middle age.
In a letter to the editor of the
New York Times an eminent doc-
tor, Ludwik Gross, pleads for cau-
tion and delay. "The tests thus far
performed db not indicate any im-
mediate toxicity," he says, "Long-
range studies, however, are still
needed4,and'these require prolonged
observation."
Dr. Gross reminds us that many
chemicals that were thlough.,to be
harmless were later discovered to
be toxic and dangerous over a pe-
riod of time.
Urethane, for instance, was fre-
quently used in sleeping pills until
thle National Cancer Institute dis-
covered that adding 'a very small
quantity of a dilute solution of ure-
thane to the drinking water of rats


I -


fects may *be over a long period of
time.
It is not necessary to inflict fluor-
ine on an entire population just
'because some so-called health au-
thority or medical group endorses
it. Anyone wishing to experiment
with this toxic chemical is free to
do so on his own. They may obtain
fluorine and, put it in their chil-

in natural form and proportion in

Many people are now getting all
the fluorine they normally need
from sources other than drinking
water, and for them its addition to

a cavity now and then might be
