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.

'R' Months Return dlame*,nw- T^I UM'.. 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 Enrollment In St. Duck Season Will Open November 17 Joe Schools Well I Hunters To Have Ten Extra Days Over 1000 Mark "ThiYear; Limit On Canada ver 1 Mar IGeese Boosted To Three Principals Anticipate Slight Increases During Next Few Weeks Enrollment in the Port St. Joe schools for the first time passed the 1000 mark as students trekked back to the halls of 'learning Mon- day after the summer vacation. H. E. Ayers, principal of the St. Joe high school, stated that enroll- ment is 370, and he expects this total to increase slightly during.the next few weeks. Enrollment last year at this time was 310. At the elementary school, Prin- cipal H. E. Richards announces an enrollment of 676, an increase of 53 over the opening day last year and 36 more pupils than he had an- ticipated to be enrolled, He also expects this number to be increased slightly within the next few weeks. Total enrollment in the schools now is 1046 as compared with 933 in 1951, an increase in -enrollment of 113. With the opening of school, Chief of Police Buck Griffin also desires to chime in with his usual warning and requests motorists to observe regulations and drive slowly while in, the school speed zones,.'and also to watch out for.children on the streets in other parts qf the eity after school lets out.

Fran suffered a broken right arm and abraisons and bruises. She is in the Municipal Hospital. 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." ----------- Auto Accident Victims Walter Stafford and Mrs. Della Spotts were victims of an auto accident Tueslay afternoon near White City when a large truck ran into the back of the Stafford car. Both occupants 'suffered painful bruises and. abraisons and are at present at the local hospital.. Visitors From West Coast Mr. and Mrs. Harry V.

Three Unemployed In County The state industrial commission reports that for the week ending August 23 there were three unem- *ployed persons in Gulf county who drew down $89 in unemployment compensation checks. The' previous week there were no unemployed in the county. Week-end Guests Miss Doris Bleckley, member of the Marianna school faculty, and Miss Erline McClellan, member of the Jenks junior high school fac- ulty, Panama City, were week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Mc- Clellan.. A flow of air thru beehives, to carry off excess moisture, is main- tained by bees by fanning with their wings. STARDUST and MOONSHINE 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.

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.

The Labor lDay message of your friend (he ain't ours) President Harry Truman is. typical. It recited the benefits labor has secured through organization during the 70 years since this na- tional holiday was first proposed& It went on. to, enumerate the: further benefits that labor should-:have, such as "adequate pro- tection, against the great financial hazards: of 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. University of Florida. Five new members were taken into the Kiwanis Club this week, being Rush Chism, Henry Drake, R. F.

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."
