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.

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

a dime into those little boxes which
appear on store counters during the
annual American Cancer Society's
drive.
"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."

Our Country Right or Wrong

THEY WERE WISER IN 1788
As the old adage says, history has a habit of
repeating itself. 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?

CAPTAINS OF THEIR SOULS
Farmers of Wythe county, Virginia, who raise
cattle mostly, and who have lost 75 per cent of
their corn crop and considerable of their hay
crop through the drought, are turning a deaf
ear to the pleas urging them to apply for federal
loans. 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.

A Thankful and Grateful

HARLAND 0. PRIDGEON

wishes to take this opportunity to express to the people
of Gulf county his deep appreciation for their vote and
support during the election for Tax Collector. It
is hard-in fact impossible-for me to find words to say
how humble and grateful I feel for the honor you have
bestowed upon me. I appreciate particularly the won-
derful vote given me in Port St. Joe and the remainder
of the south portion of the county.
I promise to give service to the people, and I will strive
to do the best job for you as your Tax Collector as is
humanly possible.
If you hear any complaints about how the office is
conducted, tell ME about it. If you hear anything
good about how the office is being conducted, tell your
neighbors about it.
Again, I say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my
heart.

OTTO-


By Charlie Garraway


The old question of why a hen crosses the road has
been solved. Now Otto will have to dig down in his
jeans and fork over some kale, .without even tasting
some chicken stew. If his brakes had just held well,
the chickie wouldn't have been in chicken heaven now
and everything would have been all right. A good
cure for bum brakes is a BRAKE ADJUSTMENT or
RELINE at Garraway's by experts.

and, best of all, she will be able to
take the children to the stores with
her for fittings and to give them a
voice in selections.
Now, as a carefree vacation sea-
son comes to an end, is the time for
parents to resume their efforts to
make youngsters, especially the
smaller ones, conscious of traffic
hazards and how to avoid them.
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.
Start getting the children ready
for school now and there will be no
problems later. Read the ads in
The Star and shop at home to save
wear and tear ln the nerves and
unnecessary drains on the family
purse.

It pays to advertise-try it!
