Floridians Earn


More During Year;

Tax Bite Bigger


Up I 3/ Over 1950; Federal
Grab Is $412 Per Person;
SHigher Levy Expected

Mr. ad: Mrs. Floridian earned a
total purse of $3,801',000,000 last
year, touching a new high through
increased 'production and, .higher
Prices. The earnings of Floridians
'from all sources in 1951 was 13%
aprve 1950, paralleling the national
increase, according to the state
chamber of commerce.
Compared with 1940, Floridians
earned 322% more last year. Only
three other states showed a greater
gain: The national.inerease, 1940 to
19i51, was 220%.
SThe total income of Floridians
accounted for 1.19% of the income
of all the people of the nation in
194(. This Florida proportion of na-
tional earnings rose to 1.60% in
1945, fell slightly after the war and,
rising again was 1.56% in both
1950 and 1951.
rThe state chamber lists the fol-
lowing breakdown of the earnings
of Floridans last year and increases
over 1950: Wages and salaries
from all private and public sources
Amounted to $2,282,000,000, up 17%;
the income of proprietors of busi-
,ness, farm, industrial and other es-
tablishments, reached $7'3,.00.l.tiil.
"-:' g,-ain- of 6%; income froirr prop-
erty of all types, including rentals,
dividends and interest, 'was $513,.
000,000, more by 7%; and $276,000,.
. 000, up slightly, was received by
Floridians from public retirement
payments, workman's compensa
'tion and other public assistance
programs.
H1o ever, all was not skittles and
beer, for we learn at the same time
-from the U. S. Census Bureau that
federal, state and local taxes cosi
*ap average of $412 in fiscal 1951
for every man, woman and child
and the bite will be even deeper ir
the 1952 fiscal year.
A. total of $63,586,000,000 was
raked in at all levels of government
during 1951-three times as much
as. in 1912 Total levies for 'fisca:
195.2 :are estimatedted at almost $80,,

oysters ic cnu

Delicious, Delectable Bivalves Are
Now Available To Connois-
seurs of Fine Food

Much, to the delight of those who
appreciate the delicacy, oysters be-
came available Labor Day, the first
day of the first month with an "R"
in it, and oystermen in Gulf and
Franklin counties, home of the fa-
mous Apalachicola oyster, were al-
ready prepared to meet the antici-
pated heavy demand for these
tasty bivalves, having for the past
six weeks been rebuilding, paint-
ing and adding necessary sanitary
features to their plants.
From Apalachicola, Robert Ingle,
assistant director of the state oy-
ster division, stated that the avail-
able supply has been greatly in-
creased during the closed season
by the round-the-clock patrol con-.
ducted to prevent illegal taking of
the seafood.
Purity Of the Apalachicola Bay
oyster has been checked by the sea-
food sanitation laboratory in this
section, which has investigated all
aspects of oyster production to in-
sure sanitary conditions in their
preparation before going on the
market.
This area has a slight jump on
the remainder of the state, since
commercial production of oysters
in most other parts of Florida will
begin on October 1.


State Will Be, Aske

To Aid Counties In the

Control of Mosquitoes

Health Board Find. Insects Become
Immune To Spray; Would Elim-
inate Breedings Grounds

The state board of health will
ask the next session of the Florida
legislature to help the counties to
help themselves in financing perm-
anent mosquito contFol projects.
Dr. Herbert L. Bryans of Pensa-
cola, president of the agency's five-
member policy-making board, says
proposed legislation is being drafted
to provide '75c from the state for,
every dollar raised by counties and'
mosquito control districts to fi-
nance the permanent control meas-
ures. These include such things as
ditching and drainage, and other
means of destroying the natural
breeding places of the mosquitoes
in the state.
The health board also noted that
the state's economy would be "seri-
ously affected" should an epidemic
of equine encephalomyelitis, a mo-
squito-borne disease such as is rag-
ing in California now', ever de-
velop in Florida.
"Should such an epidemic ever
occur in Florida it would have a
serious effect on the tourist trade,"
said Dr. Bryans. "No individual is
going to expose himself to such a
disease, which has a high mortality
rate and often causes serious af-
ter effects. Prevention is the prime
tool against such a disease, since
there is no known immunization or
specific treatment for it."
The board's action was taken af-
ten John Mulrennai, director of the


division of entomology, had in-
formed the group that Florida is
relatively free of the type of mo-
squito which is causing trouble in

cipal H. E. Richards announces an

expects this number to be increased
slightly within the next few weeks.
Total enrollment in the schools
now is 1046 as compared with 933

With the opening of school, Chief

Waterfowl hunters of Florida will
have ten extra days this year for
the shooting of ducks, geese and
coots, according to the migratory
bird regulations established by the
federal wildlife authorities and re-
leased by the state game and fresh
water fish commission.
The regulations also reveal that
the hunters will be allowed to shoot
a daily limit of three Canada geese
this year, where last year sports-
men were permitted to take only
two Canadas.
The season for ducks, geese and
coots opens November 17, five days
earlier than last year, and ends on
January 10, five days later than
the 1951-52 closing date. Shooting
will begin at noon of the opening
day for all three species, with the
daily hours thereafter being a half
hour before sunrise to one hour be-
fore sunset.
Day's bag for ducks will be four,
only one of which may 'be a wood-
duck; for geese, three Canada and
three blue, and coots, ten. Posses-
sion limit will be two day's bag for
ducks and one day's bagfor geese
and coots.
The state game commission said
that hunting for the migratory birds
will be allowed every day, and
warns all hunters that a duck stamp
is necessary for taking ducks and
geese ,.. ., ,. ';.
Other federal iregulaion. for the
taking of migratory bids are that
shotguns must be plugged to three-
shell capacity, the use of rifles is
prohibited, and the migratory birds
may not be taken within a half mile
of any place where salt or feed
that may attract such birds is
placed, exposed, distributed, scat-
tered or present at any time within
two weeks prior to the open season
on such birds.


Two Commissioners

To Be Elected Tuesday

Light. Vote Anticipated As Electors
Choose Two Men From
Six Aspirants

We've said, in the past few is-
sues of The Star, about all that can
be said about Tuesday's forthcom-
ing election at which two-city com-
missioners are to be selected 'by
the electorate.
I. C. Nelley, seeking re-election,
is opposed by W. H. Howell, Jack
Fowler and Ralph A. Swatts, and
Franklin Chandler, also up for re-
election, has as his opponent Dr. R.
E. King.
Since there'has been very little
"rabid" politicking, as far as we
can learn, it looks like there will
be a rather light vote with 'but
about 800 qualified voters on the
city registration books. The polling
place is the city hall, and the polls
will be open Tuesday from 8 a. m.
to 7 p. m.
'Checking back over the files of
The Star, we find the following
number of ballots cast in previous
years: 1951, 661; 1950, 350; 1949,
677; 1948, 412. During these years
there were about 1200 names on
the registration books'.

Registration Books


Of County May Be


Closed On Sept. 13


Mrs. Rish Urges Those Qual-
ified To Register Now
As Precaution

Due to the fact that a special
primary election has been called
for October 14 to nominate a su-
preme court justice, the registra-
tion books of Gulf county may b6
closed on Saturday, September 13,
according to Mrs. C. G. Rish, su-
pervisor of registration, and she
urges qualified voters of the county
to come to her office in the court-
house at Wewahitchka and register
before that date to be on the safe
side if they desire to cast their bal-
lot in the November presidential
election.
She points.out that the state law
requires that "when a special elec-
tion is called at a time when the
books are open, the supervisor shall
close all books to further registra-
tion 30 days prior to the election
date, or immediately in the event
the date of the election is less than:
30 days." The law further states,
she continued, that "all registra-
tion books close on the 30th day
preceding the day on which there
is a primary or general election an&d
remain closed for five days follow-
ing the election."
Word <:olune from TailahasIFee
*froiH SecretaIr'uf-Stale Bolh Cir.
that he has asked for an o gibn iom
the question from the state attor-
ney general, but' until that opinion
is forthcoming, the law apparently
stands as written.
Therefore, according to Mrs.Rish,
until she hears to the contrary, she
will be compelled to close the regis-
tration books September 13 and
keep them closed until five days
after the general election- on No-
vember 4. Ordinarily the books
would remain open until October 4.
"Prospective voters who were not
qualified to vote in the recent May
primaries due to their names not
being 6n the registration books, are
urged to visit my office now," said
Mrs. Rish, "otherwise theymay not
be able to participate in either the
supreme court justice election or
the November general election."

STARDUST and

E-

The wife and Ye -Ed were driv-
ing around Friday evening look-
ing over the new homes springing
up on Woodward Avenue when we
spied Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hall .,nd
young son atop the bungalow they
are building busily nailing down
shingles-at least Bert was nailing
and Mrs. Hall was doing some back
seat shingling. We asked Bert why
he didn't let his wife nail on the
shingles while he worked on the in-
side, and he replied: "You can't
talk on shingles-you've got to nail
'em on." Anyhow, ,he was quite
startling in a pair of pink thing-
umbobs the seat of which wgs quite
wet from sliding around on the
roof which was damp from a recent
shower We inspected the to-
be Hall domicile and it looks like
it is going to be quite some shakes..

Joe Malpas, publisher of the Wa-
kulla County News has just dis-
covered that inflatable falsies are
now available to the opposite sex.
Sez he: "We note with interest that
the Times-Union carried an adver-
tisement in one of its recent issues
proclaiming that the ladies (bless
them) could now purchase, 'inflat-
able' falsies, and no longer have
ftat lean and hungry look. How-
ever, we were thrilled at the idea
of the lady being able to blow 'em
to the correct and proper, size to
suit the occasion and event, and it
occurred to us that here was the,
answer to the coast guard's prayer.
Now the lovely ladies could carry
their own life preservers and in
case of shipwreck or other disas-
ter, the men would never have to,
worry about saving the ladies be-'
cause the gals would be wearing
these attractive and useful affairs.
The guy or gal who dreamed up
this particular type. of beauty -aid
ilil n-r do r hitcE. dvwn in history:> as
onie of the" great. .: Yecsir: we
fully expect to see one oi the local
boats with a'supply of these things
as standard life-saving equipment.
It's possible."

* ppeht the long Labor Day .week-
end at Stardust Lodge up on the
Dead Lakes hnd continued to mow_
the south forty with our electric
lawn mower in an effort to take
off a few more pounds. We were
horribly disappointed ,to .discover,
after this strenuous exercise on a
diet of thin soup, onions and crack-
ers, that during the week we had
dropped but slightly less than a
pound of lard. We're now tipping
the beam at 178. Had:hoped it
would be at least 176. ; It's get-
ting quite discouraging, especially
so when our wife, who can eat like
a horse and get away with it, puts
lucious apple, pies, chocolate cakes,
fresh peaches and cream and the
like under our nose. If we
don't start falling off directly we're
going to chuck the' whole danged
diet effort. However, that
would hardly be fair, since we have
found that quite a number of our
obese friends have been following
our battle with interest, porbably
figuring that if we survive, they'll
try the course.

Raw eggs are easier to digest
than cooked eggs.

Our Country -"Q Right or Wrong

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
There are some 11,000 country weekly and
daily newspapers similar to The Star in the 48
states.
Most of them are individually owned and ex-
' pres- the personal opinions of their editors on
local and national affairs.
The country press is an outstanding example
of private initiative and enterprise.
It has had to fight political moves which seek
to limit its independence.
It understands the menace of growing cen-
tralized government, socialism and communism,
all of which mean bureaucratic control of the
individual and confiscatory taxation.
It is almost unanimously, opposed to govern-
ment in business because that leads to the de-
struction of free enterprise and individual op-
piortunity.
', In fighting political oppression, the press is
the champion of every worker and industry seek-
ing to serve the public and earn a profit.
Businessmen should realize, as never before,
that without a fair discussion of their problems
by local editors their enterprises would be easy
',prey for politicians who seek by legislation and
taxation to control the activities and earnings
of every citizen.
But you can't expect to have a newspaper in
your town to fight for your rights unless the
newspaper receives sufficient advertising to con-
tinue to exist.

sick nessa:'disability, unemployment and :old age."
By and large, it was a sermon on getting. There
was no word on giving. There was no hint of
protection against the 50-cent dollar, or preven-
tion of the twobit-dollar. It would never do,
especially in an election year, to mention that
the sweat in a dollar, and not the silver, deter-
mines its worth.
And Mr. Truman is going to retire and
teach us history!

NEW BROOM
Ellis Arnall, the price stabilizer who was al-
ways positive and seldom right, has finally quit.
Tighe E. Woods, the former rent controller, who
has stepped into his shoes, intends to look before
he leaps. After a month of studying his new job,
he says, he will go out and hire halls around the
country so he can talk to a lot of housewives. If
he finds out people don't want price controls,
he'll ask the president to remove them.
Such an approach is doubtless against the
rules. It makes too much common sense. And it
might even save us a lot of money.

Patrick Henry said: "Give me liberty or give
me death." His descendants now just say
"Gimmie!"-Logan (Kans.) Republican.

Maybe some day the meek will inherit the
earth, as predicted-but there won't be much to
inherit after the inheritance tax is paid.

It is not so important as to when the so-called
Korean war is going to end as how it is going
. to end.

It's usually hard to buck the majority, but it
often pays in the long run, especially when the
majority is wrong.

Adevrtising isn't bragging. It's merely a de-
vice to show buyers where they can get more for
their money.

000,000,000. This does not include
$20,000,000,000 taken in during 1951
from such enterprises as insurance
trust funds, liquor stores and vari-
bus types of utilities.
On the local level, tax collections
totaled $8,621,00,000 in fiscal 1951,
with property taxes providing all
except $1,000,000,000 of this. Col-
lections were 8% higher than in
1950.
iState tax collections in fiscal
1952, according to the census bu-.
reau, were $9,838,000,000. City gov-
ernments accounted for $5,834,000,-
000, and these local tax collections
were supplemented by $4,424,000,-
000 in federal and state aid and
'$1,871,000,000 in payment of. li-
censes, fines and services.
Local school districts received
$4,540,000,000; county .governments
took $3,622,000,000; townships $677,-
000,000, and special districts, in-
cluding housing authorities, drain-
age, irrigation and fire protection
districts, got $471,000,000.
Public utilities operated by local
governments collected $1,930,000,-
000 from sales of water, gas, elec-
tricity and transit services, and lo-
cal government insurance systems,
mostly for employee retirement, had
revenues totaling $221,000,000.
So, ,Mr. and Mrs. Floridian, it
seems that no matter how much
your income increases, your friend*
the tax collector is right on hand to
see that you don't keep too much
of it.

MOSQUITO CONTROL

(Continued from page 1)
squito is a natural carrier of the
/ enezuelan strain of sleeping sick-
ness," he explained. "Fortunately,
this virus has not reached Florida,
but if it ever does it will find liter-
ally billions of mosquitoes to help
it spread.
"In past years we believed that
chemical spraying could be'the an-
swer to mosquito control in Flor-
ida. We have discovered, however,
that spraying, which shows excpl-
lent results in the beginning, loses
its effectiveness as mosquitoes de-
velop a resistance to the sprays
used.
"As entomologists see it now, we
must go back to the older methods
of eliminating breeding areas, and
keep sprays in reserve as a quick
killer should epidemics result."

Soap is good for lubricating nails
or screws before putting them into
wood.
