Annual Cancer Fund

Drive Opened Friday

More Than $1600 Spent Last Year
In Gulf County for Treat-
ment of 36 Cases

By HARRY McKNIGHT
After a somewhat late start, the
annual drive in Gulf county for
funds for the American Cancer So-
ciety got underway last Friday.
J. L. Sharit, drive chairman, is
appealing to all Gulf county resi-
dents to do their share in maintain-
ing the work of the organization
that is doing so much here and
throughout the United States to
combat cancer by research, treat-
ment and educating the public to
recognize cancer in its early stages
and to take the proper steps to
stamp it out. It takes a tremendous
amount of money to conduct this
three-point program, but it is ef-
fective, and progress is being made
every year.
In Gulf county more than $1600
was spent last year toward treat-
ment of cancer patients. This
amount is many times over the
funds that were raised. Thus far

Meharg Puts Mates Ahead
By Driving In Three; Third
Game Here Tonight

Coming from behind in the ninth
inning Monday night at Centennial
Field to wipe out a three-run lead
and tie the score 5-5, Tallahassee
threw a scare into the St. Joe
Saints in the second game of the
playoff series for the mythical pen-
nant of the Gulf Coast League. The
Saints had1 taken the first game
last Friday night by an 8-6 count.
However, the local lads recovered
Their equilibrium and managed to
'hold the visitors scoreless in the
first of the tenth while shoving
over the tie-breaker in the bottom
of the frame to make it 6-5.
Eddie Meharg, on the mound for
St. Joe, gave' up but three hits
while Bill Maner, hurling for the
opposition, allowed seven. Meharg
gave eleven free passes while Ma-
ner issued six. In the strikeout de-
partment, Meharg led Maner two-
to-one, having ten against Maner's
five.
Tallahassee took a one-run lead
in the first inning on two walks, a
single and a hit batsman, but the
Saints overcame this in: the, bot-
tom of the opening frame when
Bennie Burke, the-perennial leadoff
man, scampered home on Bill Har-

Our Country Right or Wrong

MODEL OF DECORUM?
In nine feverish sessions in which Democracy's
youthful Northern radicals recklessly plucked
the sutures from the slowly-healing wounds of
the Civil War, yet failed to oust the Southerners,
who refused to secede, 1500 steaming delegates
(representing 1230 votes) laboriously sweated
down a massive field of twelve candidates, of
which Harry Truman would have been the thir-
teenth but for his written instructions against
being named, to Illinois' Governor Adlai Steven-
son, who had previously threatened to shoot
himself should such a fate befall him.
No one can deny that the Democratic national
convention had "everything" floods of ora-
tory, which were expected; a fire in the hall,
which wasn't; the premature swan-song of -Vice-
President Barkley, believed done to death'by the
CIO-whom he had served too well; and the


THE-STAR.PORT ,ST.- J!*E, GULF O0#JNFY,PfI*RIDA


emergence from the shadows of F. D. R.'s one-
time political mastermind, Jim Farley. 'And for
its final flourish, your friend (he ain't ours) Pres-
ident Truman, dropping out of the skies to es-
cort the new standard-bearer, the diffident Ste-
venson, to his "Triumph at the Stockyards."
Thus ended the "streamlined" convention-
specially designed for television and advertised
as a model of decorum. ... :So far as we can
learn from Rep. George Tapper, who attended as
the representative of Gov. Fuller Warren, there
were no fractured skulls.


VICTORY .FOR TRUMAN
Smoke will-be rising again from the nation's
steel mills, no doubt, as you read this. The vic-
torious steelworkers, with their 16 cents an hour
wage boost and their fringe benefits, will have
made up their lost wages by June of 1954. More
than a million other workers, laid off by the steel
shortage, will soon be trickling back to their
jobs, and The Star will again be putting out ex-
tra pages as automotive production resumes and
the manufacturers have something to advertise.
But, when and if they and the national economy
and the defense program will recoup the strike
losses, no one can say.
Credit for the settlement, of course, all goes to
your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman,
who has only had since last December 17 to find
the answer, and who, after his illegal seizure
backfired, allowed the strike to continue for 53
days before taking effective action.
Even so, the agreement came in time for him
to make a triumphal entry at the Democratic
convention to which the Taft-Hartley Act
would not have contributed.

Whether a woman can see a joke or not, she
often marries one.

"Looks like we are gonna nave
to 'pose' for a new photo to head
up this column.
"Not too very long ago we had
words with our friend Bill Smith,.
editor and do-it-all (to hear him tell
it) of the Port St. Joe Star, in re-
gard to said picture. 'Course we
thought he was sour-graping a bit
because it was such a good picture
of us. Thought he had a genuine
streak of jealousy prodding him to
cause, his untimely words.
"We still didn't think too much
of his objections when one certain


'brainless-and that brooks babbled
on and on, and stuff like that.
"But-t-t-t, when a fellow's own
little woman climbs your frame
about the same thing, it's high time
a fellow asserts himself one way or
another.
"Well, that's what happened to
us. We ignored Bill Smith and just
figured he'd like to look like us. We
were also right in the act of ignor-
ing Mrs. pickson's demanding as-
sertion that our photo did not 'fit'
-that is, until the Little Woman
heard us raving, ranting and other-
wise working ourself into a frenzy
befitting the situation we had found
qurself in.
"It was not until then that we
were made to see the light. The
picture does not look like us. We
must have a new one. 'This time
get some photographer to make it
-don't do it yourself,' she tells us.
"OK, OK-all three of you. We
will get a new one. But not with-
out the approval' of all our critics
first."
You probably know already, Earl
that the do-it-all of The Star is
highly gratified with thle results ob-
tained by our campaign, and we
know it will be a blessing to the
readers of your paper should you
get a new picture. ... So you have
our unqualified vote of approval.

Spar varnish serves admirably


Mrs. Erna Sutton DICKSon wrote us wherever an elastic, tough, weath-
too (at length) to tell us we needed er and water-resistant varnish is
a new picture; that the photo we required especially for exterior
used didn't look the part of being wood surfaces.

Somebody is going to get hot under the collar for Otto
using the streets as a service shop. It would be far
quicker and cost him a lot less worry and time
to call a service man and have him get it into
Garraway's shop and fix it right up. There is no need
to tinker around with a car right out on Reid Avenue
and try to fix this and that. When a car is sick and tired
it needs expert attention and when attention is
needed, Garraway has the SERVICE DEPARTMENT
that knows how to make cars and trucks well.

SAINTS WIN SECOND GAME
(Continued from page 1)
The game rocked on scoreless
until the eighth, when iMeharg de-
cided to do something about it and
drove in three runs. Jimmy Phil-
yaw was safe on a high throw to
first, Fish Herring made his sacri-
fice good and Philyaw went on to
third after a wild throw to second
by Ronnie Nettles, backstop for
Tallahassee. Heavy-hitting Fewell
was deliberately passed to get at
Meharg and the visitors received
the surprise of their lives when Ed-
die slammed into a fast one and
drove it to the centerfield fence to
.bring in Philyaw, Herring and
Fewell.
The crowd went wild, but their
enthusiasm was dampened in the
ninth when Tallahassee came back
with three to make it 5-all. Red
Clements started the debacle when
he was walked; Nettles was out
on a high fly and Maner singled,
but was out at second on a fielder's
choice of Earl Dennard's infield
hit. Bob Clements was walked to
load the bases and Red Clements
came home on a wild pitch for the
first score. Nettles and Maner tied
it up when they crossed the plate
after Talbert's fly to center was
dropped by Burke.
It was three up and three down
for Tallahassee in the first of the
tenth, much to the relief of local
fans, and Herring ended the game
at 11:40 after having singled, gone
to second on a balk by Maner, took
third on Johnny Adams' (pinch-hit-
ting for Meharg) single and came
home on Harless' bingle to right.
The third game of the series is
scheduled for tonight (Friday) at
8:30 in Centennial Park. It is an-
ticipated the standing room only
.sign will be hung up, so fans are
urged to go out early if they want
a good seat.

CANCER FUND DRIVE

,(Qontinued, from. page .I)
this year nearly $1309 has been
spent'($1,288.44). At this rate, the
figure will exceed that of last year.
People are becoming more aware
of the dangers of cancer and are
learning to recognize the need for
early treatment. This is the result
of the educational program of the
American Cancer Society. Thirty-
six cases for diagnosis and treat-
ment have been handled from Gulf
county during the past year.
Prom the St. Joe Lumber & Ex-
port Company comes the report that
90% of its employes have already
contributed to the fund, with more
coming in each day.
Have you contributed?
