In an effort to train all field per- sonnel in emergency aid, the Flor- ida Forest Service has conducted Red Cross first aid, schools in six West Florida counties this summer. The first aid classes, taught by William C. Gilbert, forest service investigator, included care of ac- cident victims, dressing of wounds, care of snakebite and dogbite cases, and other elements of-first aid. The newest method of artificial respira- tion was also taught. "We feel this training makes us better able to help our own men and our neighbors in emergencies," commented Hardy. ---C------ Correction! Correction! Last week Mrs. H. C.

Florida Editor, Learning He Has Cancer, Takes Readers Into Confidence Through His Column One of Florida's best known ed- itor-publishers has just learned the unhappy news that he is afflicted with cancer and has taken his readers into his confidence, through his column, about it. The editor is A. P. Cooke of the Plant City Courier. He has been cited on many occasions for his courageous journalism, but his col- umn telling readers about his af- fliction probably is his most cour- ageous act. "The word 'cancer' is an ugly tions ior sisptays. Anyone w 1 ia IUI UI UIdI)Ioil y Il Il word," wrote Cooke. "I have just (Continued on page 8) been told that I have a cancer . but I am not despairing.

"And you and I, perhaps, have thought at the time: 'What the heck! I'll never miss the dime, and it might do some good.' "The signs on the little boxes says: 'Cancer strikes one of every five.' I have become a statistic. It turned out that I am one of the five. It is not altogether a pleasant thought. There are a lot of things I would rather be than a statistic. Wouldn't you?" Cooke told how he flew to New York alone, for the cancer-confirm- ing examination, and told how Mrs. Cooke, associate editor of the Cour- ier was "taking it." "If necessary," Cooke wrote, "an SOS ~ill be sent to the associate editor and she will hasten here, too. She is behaving, outwardly at least, far better than I. Women are probably more courageous than men in times Ike these. That's why they are mothers. Men couldn't take it." In concluding, he promised to keep his readers informed. "In the meantime," he ended, "good luck and God be with you until we meet again." County Registration Books Open Monday Mrs. C., G. Rish, supervisor of registration for Gulf county, states that the registration books will be opened in her office in the court house at Wewahitchka next Mon- day and will remain open until Oc- tober 4. Anyone 21 years of age or older who has been a resident of Florida for twelve months or more and a resident of Gulf county for six or more months is qualified to register. Those failing to register by the time the books close will be unable to vote in the Nevemtber general election. ------------ Returns To Duty After Furlough Sgt.

The following quotation is an interesting example of that truism: "It has been found by experience that limitation in the price of commodities is not only ineffective for the purpose proposed, but likewise productive of very evil consequences, to the great detriment -of the public service and the grievous oppression of individualss" . Save for a slight archaism in the language, that could have been written today. Actually, it is a resolution passed by the Continental Congress 1way back in 1788-a period when Americans valued liberty above all alse, and held fast to the philosophy that that government is best which governs least. When will our modern congresses show a little of .the.wisdom displayed by our forefathers? Keep smiling-and buy Defense Bonds.

The 1500 to 1800 farmers of the county will need $200,000 to $300,000 to tide them over, but there's $11,000,000 in the banks of Wythe county, so these independent Americans intend to take care of their own problems in their own way and keep their interest money at home. The Southwest Virginia Enterprise of Wythe- ville sums up the county attitude this way: "The . Santa Claus form of government is the only type of government that is known to at least one, probably two, generations. Each year, millions of people believe that Uncle Sam owes.them a liv- ing. Until the day arrives that the people of America awaken to the fact that 'you don't get something for nothing'-even though it comes from Washington-every child that is born will be heir to a debt of approximately $1,666.00, or the new-born's proportional share of the national debt that now stands at about $260,000,000,000." Mebbe those Virginia Rebels have something! WE'RE GOING ON RECORD When historians look back on the 20th cen- tury and make their records will they say: "It was an era of periodic wars, with each war feed- ing on a general sense of futility, the realization that each war was breeding greater wars, with no end in sight." The editor of The Star queries:, Can we, at the beginning of the atomic age, let this go down in history? Can't we, as human be- ings, see something in the future besides war? Looking at your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman, we realize what is the matter with the United States the problems of our country are bigger, but the politicians are still the same size. her month-old son, George Edward, born in Marianna.

It is also time for all motorists of Gulf county, whether parents or not, to become alert to the fact that irresponsible youngsters will soon be on their way to and from school. Brakes and tires and motors should be checked today in the name of safety. School bells are sounding in the distance. The first day of the new term is closer at hand than most people think. In fact, the teachers started their duties Monday in a pre-school-opening warmup to be in the best possible condition when the pupils come pouring in, and registration is set for next Monday at 8:30 a. m. for all students ex- pecting to enter the elementary or high schools for the 1952-53 term.
