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.

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. &2 I TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star 'Share Your Car' Clubs Planned During the next week or two, all automobile owners of-Gulf-county will be contacted to urge the or- ganization of "Share Your Car" clubs for the conservation of exist- STARDUST and MOONSHINE Well, we see that our campaign directed at Earl Sellers, venerable and aged publisher of the Washing- ton County News at Chipley, has finally brought results..

"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. Withstands Weather 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.

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).
