City Had Set Aside Funds To. Construct

Cemetery; City Will Not Fight Action


ject.
The city has been--receiving an-
nual 'payments from 'the County of

$3,000.00 for the past fifteen years.
The 'payments were started when-
the City of Wewahitchka could not
produce enough revenue to run
their .government and appealed to
the County for help. The County
Commission at the time listened
with sympathetic ears to the po-
'sition of the County Seat and made
funds available out of the race track
fund ,payments made the County
each year by the State out of re-'
venue derived from the race track
tax.
Port St. Joe' began receiving the
same amount due to the fact that.
the County Commission felt it
could not help Wewahitclhka wit y-
out helping Port St. Joe to the same.

The present County Commission
in -drawing up their budget for the
coming fiscal year, felt the County
needed the money and ,ic te ,u suti,
agai t ip _Liei' of POfrtL t Joe
'amd Wewahitbchka to keep, from hav-
ing to 'make the annual payments,.
Neither city could legally appeal
the action since the distribution
of the race track funds in this man-
ner was contrary to state law.
The Port St. Joe City Council
had only recently 'set asid-e the fund
'received from the race track fund
for the 'purpose of constructing and
maintaining a cemetery here. The
race track funds were to be sup-
plemented by the local amusement

THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN
Yes sir, those County Commissioners have,
done it again., This time they have sued the
Cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka for the
$3,000.00 in race track funds which the County
has been dispensing to the. said cities for the
past 15 years. The boys are being right gener-
ous though and are not asking for past payments
back. They're just suing to keep from making
any more such payments in the future.
While this loss of funds does not concern
the City of Port St. Joe too much, we pnder-
stand the City of Wewahitchka is howling to
high heaven since this was an important source
of revenue to them.
The City of Port St. Joe had allowed this
fund along with their local amusement tax fund
to secure a cemetery for the city. Whether this
will mean the temporary "death" of the ceme-
tery project or not, we don't know. We suspect
the city will divert other funds for "luxuries" to
the cemetery fund but the County Commissioners
are messing up the, apple cart and making the
City dads set down and do some more figuring.
They 'were kind enough to take back the .$3,000
before the City had set their budget and includ-
ed the $3,000 for the coming year. Congratu-
lations Commissioners.
Of course neither city has a leg to stand on
to get the funds back since the distribution of
the funds wasn't exactly legal in the first place.
But that doesn't enter into the picture since it
has been just as illegal since the payments first
began 15 years ago. We wonder what brought
about all this acting legal business anyway?
We wonder what the County boys hope to
do with this money since they get to keep only
$3,000.00 of the $6,000.00 they are holding back.
This is only a small drop in a big bucket of their
present budget'and we,can't see how it'll do the
inflated budget much good.
If the County needs more money, they
should go over their homestead exemption rolls
and get some of those homestead exemptions
that have been allowed rental properties down


on the tax rolls and take the burden off of the
few.

LET'S KEEP IT
We have heard that the County Commis-
sioners are half-way thinking of taking the $7,500.
for Pest Control out of the budget. We sincerely
hope they don't, as we've seen the plan outlined
by the state to use this money and another $1.75
of State money for each dollar of County mon-
ey to carry on a permanent insect control pro-
gram here in Gulf County to rid the county of
insect breeding places. The program will re-
quire all of the $7,500.00 and more too if it was
available. The $7,500. is enough to get started
on though and we hope they leave it in the bud-
get.

OLD-FASHIONED IDEA STREAMLINED
If you doubt that there's a reason for every-
thing, stop and reflect on this: While marriages
have been declining, the birth-rate has been in-
creasing!
And the reason, of, purse, is that America
is beginning to have big families again. A tre-
mendous number of the new citizens comprising
the record-breaking baby crops of the past two
years were second, third, fourth or even fifth in
the family. That race-suicide the intellectuals
were so fearful of a few years ago, just isn't
happening.
America's young parents, who are so
greatly to be admired, are reminding the world
these days of the thing that made this nation
great the devotion of this nation to its off-
spring, and the urge to give them a better start
in the world than their elders had. It should also
be noted, however ,that the medical profession
and American industry have rewoaded the su-
perior courage of these young people, and Bring-
ing up Baby just isn't the chore it used to be.
In town or country .now-a-days, mothers have
prenatal care, the babies are born in hospitals;
and today's modern doctors, who are animated
by the same practical humanitarianism as their
horse-and-buggy forebears, can treat many more
patients in the same long hours of devoted ser-
vice
The grocer too, looms large on the young
.mother's horizon as a child-care specialist. -To-
day, whether she lives in a big city, a smart su-
burb, in a remote village or on a farm, her
grocer has those scientifically-prepared strained
foods and chopped "junior" foods the doctor
order because baby-food specialists put
them there. "Babies are our business", these
people say, "opr only business". And, being of
the soil themselves, they know that whatever
the trend, rural families are always larger than
urban families. -
St. Augustine wrote: "Who would not trem-
ble and rather choose to die than to be a baby
again, if he were given such a choice?" But that ,
was back in the year Z27. Today, it's really not
so bad.

Dear Sir:
I wish to take this means of say-
ing "ifthank-you" for publishing 'the
Home Demonstration .and 4-H News
for us each week and a big, special
thank you for the part allowed us
this week, on your front page.
You are.doing a nice job towards
building .up a finee weekly paper.
It has not only increased in size
since you have become editor but
also increased in getting more
news.
I enjoy the editorials very much.
Thank you again for allowing us
space so freely. We appreciate it.

It was a 'sorry crowd at the ball
game last Friday night for the bene-
fit of the Recreation program. Peo-
ple should be just plain ashamed
for riot supporting their children
any better than 'that. Everybody
hollers, "we want a recreation pro-
gram for our childTen". Then comes
along various means of raising
funds to support the ,program and
Ahe support is less .than nill. What-
sa matter anyhow, no civic pride,
or what is it?


LOW DOWN

"Money makes the mare go"-
that is as old as the hills. ,And
"free" dinero, brother, business ia
good in that department. The folks
in many brackets-high and low-
if you read what they say about our
extravagant Government you .say
to yourself, now, that guy or may-
be;iit is. a dame, is talking' sense.
These near-patriots proclaim the
p r o d i g a I Government political
,spending of the past dozen years,
if not stopped 'and pronto, is going
to bog us down-lay ut low so we'll
resemble Rome the day after Ne-
ro's fiddl'tn, spree.
But then next day a big manu-
facturing tycoon when he finishes
his speech flaying Government's
fool spending, gets on his bicycle,
heads for the Government Power
Bureau and signs up for his hefty
kilowatt needs. Government power
in big blocks is dispensed below
cost. Did you say tycoon, says
Henry-and shouldn't it be ty-
phoon. Take your choice,. I says,
I'm busy.
Now, I call your attention' to your
very own City Hall, Courthouse,
State House, Chamber of Com-
merce. There is a heap of double
talk there, too. Everybody is trying
fcr "his cut" ,of the loot. Your poor
senator and congressman, you' let
the mayor needle him for a new
marble lining ,for your swimming
pool, or some such knick knack.
Funny folks you say-eh! wot!

ETAOIN SHRDLU

by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Of course in our little epistle on
the front page last week concern-
-ing the special meeting of the city
council failed to record, the high-
light of the evening. About mid-
way in ,the meeting which was
around 12:20 last Saturday and
well into the "eating hour", City
Attorney Cecil Costin, Jr., excused
himself from the meeting for a few
moments to go "call home to ask
Momma to reserve my dinner be-
fore it is 'all eaten up". Now don't
laugh. Cecil has a lot of brothers
,and sisters who happened to be at
home visiting and coninig from a
large family ourself we know you
must take such precautions or you
will find yourself opening' up a can
1of beans.

While we are on city council
meetings we will bring up a mat-
ter that was discussed at the last
meeting of the council Tuesday
night.


Two representatives from the trol area and to put their funds in

The State men explained to the The councilmen flatly told the
city council that certain mosquito ea.lth Department representatives
and pest control areas could be that they were not interested in the

given territory. In other words, the commission, would ,frnth ,hem


City of Pont St. Joe could declare
the city proper 'a mosquito and
pest 'control area and allot funds,
to fight pests
It was explained that the state
matched any fund's raised by the
district dollar for dollar for equip-
ment and supplies to combat in-
sects 'and also allowed 75 cents for
each dollar raised by the district
to be used for permanent control
only. In other words, if the city
allowed $5,000.00 in pest control
funds, then the State would give the
city $5,000.00 for equipment and
supplies 'and $3,750.00 that could
be used by the city only for per-
manent pest control.
Of course, th-e city allots nowhere
near $5,000.00 for pest control.
What the State men were urging
the city ,to do was to declare them-


with a definite plan for controlihg
pests in Gulf County and would al-
low a commission to be appointed
to operate this ,work to see that
each part of the county received
their just share of .the protection.
We'll go along with the commis-
sion .on this decision. After all, the
city now has their own temporary
preventive 'set-up and they would
be foolish to give it up unless they
could be assured of at least as good
protection as 'their have been able
to furnish themselves.

Pointers For Parents Entering Pupils'

In School This Fall Term For First Time

For parents,, the summer before
the child enters .school for the first
time.may be called an "u-neasy sum-
mer". The parents realize that the
time is near when their youngsters
begin formal schooling. They feel
rightfully a sense of accomplish-


other children of his own age? The
better he does the more easily he
will get along with other children
at school land on; the way to and
from school.
Give the child a chance to be
self-reliant. Let him do for himself


meant that this is so; and yet at the everything he is reasonably able to


,same time, they have an under-
standable fear that' they, in ,spite
of much effort in that direction,
may have failed to get the child
"ready" for public school.
In order to dissipate parents'
worries, the' Port St. Joe Elemen-
tary School offers some general
and. specific suggestion's designed
to assist in' getting a youngster
ready for school. Parent's may check
the items to see if they have indeed
overlooked any phase of develop-
ment in their child. They will also
have the opportunity to work with
the child during the remaining
weeks before September, develop-
ing those weak areas and giving the
beginner an opportunity to make
*the, happy beginning they earnestly
desire 'for him.
General Suggestions
Encourage good sleep habits in
your child. Provide him with a
family atmosphere of love,.and se-
curity. See that he is not over ex-
cited.
Consider your child's social read-


Ido with success. Also help him in
emotional independence, weakening
the 'apron strings which have tied
him too close to you.
Cultivate in him responsibility
for doing ~so'~e things he likes, to
'do but also for doing a few desir-
able things he does not like to' do.
Encourage him at self-amuse-
ment and creative play with paper,
scissors, crayons, 'paste and simple
playthings. Enjoy, with him. his
creations. with things or words.
Answer his questions kindly.
help him enjoy achievement at work
and play.
Read some to him daily. No. bet-
ter way to practice him i1 ease of
expression, in good habits of con-
centrations and readiness to listen
well to .what he should hear in
school.
Train him to respect the rights
and possessions of others and to
have due regard for constituted
authority.

In his. analysis, Hill said Florida
dropped from 8.6 traffic deaths
per 100 million miles of auto tra-
vel in 1951 to 7.6 in 1952.
This was the lowest highway
death rate in the south, but con-
siderably higher than the national
,average of 7.3.
Chief needs for improvements in
highway ,safety, are more conscious-
ness of the problem by the Legisla-
,ture, more personnel for keeping
accident records,, trafifc engineer-
ing, traffic law enforcement, school
safety education and a tightening
of driver licensing laws, National
Safety Council' said.
In addition to honors for the
state, 14 cities will receive the
