ETAOIN- SHRILU

by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

Mrs. Walter Johnson over on
Seventh Street tells us that a
few little vandals came into her
yard the other night and strip-
ped her camellia bushes of both
leaves and blooms. Needless to
say, she was slightly put out by
:he incident.
If Mrs. Johnson had half the
trouble with her camellias as
we are having with our weeping
willow tree and rose bushes she
is a bit miffed over the incident-
Seriously, mothers and fathers,
children can be destructive with-
out actually meaning to do so.
A person takes pride in their
yard and flowers and don't rel-
ish having them torn up in such
a manner.

Oh boy, what a few rumors
can do. People could just liter-
:lly see that new highway corn-
ing right smack down the mid-
dle of the street they lived on.
Most people had it on the high-
est authority. But, alas and alack
jike most rumors there was no
neat to any of them. Even the
Highway Department is waiting
to set a definite entrance route
until the people can be heard
from.

Politics are now buzzing and
'the politicos are in high gear
with their wooing the vote. We
have had numerous calls from
politicians and an untold- num-
her of handshakes, but nary a
free stogie have we received yet.

What with the new water sys-
tem going in and all, we wonder
if the City Commission has
thought of adding flourine toa
the water? What is flourine? It
is a substance that has proven.
about 70 percent effective in pre-
venting tooth decay among peo-
ple. It won't do the older folks
much good, but the children
coming along would be practi-
cally from tooth decay if started
young on .flourinated water. It
is considerably cheaper than
chlorine and, we think, would
be a definite asset to the city.
Might be a little mention by,
you the citizens the respective
commissioners coit bhruili tis
.ibout. If seems \welTl-'orth- while
-to us, in the -ood 'it will db tthe
children of the community. The
benefits will remain with the
children even after they are
grown.
Tests in cities having this
treated water have proof that
mote than seventy percent of
those in continuous contact with
this kind of water have grown
up without a single cavity to
their name.

William T.- Iverson Installed As Presbyterian Church Pastor

Sunday night, William T. Iverson
was installed as pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church.
There was a special commission
of Florida Presbytery to- lead the
service, and Chaplain Joseph M.
Gammon, the pastor's brother-in- .
law brought the message, "The
Mission of the Church".
As the vows were solemnly made
between the church and its-.new
undershepherd,. Rev. Donald Swi- '
cord of Gulf Beach gave a very k
challenging charge to the young.,
minister.
Rev. Billy Daniels, beloved for-
mer pastor of the church, charged
the congregation with -their obli-
gations in a singular manner.
The oldest members of the church
said it was the most striking ser-,- ,
vice they have ever attended in .
their memory. One thing that I
made the service, so meaningful
was a short prayer meeting pre-
vious led by Rev. Iverson and Bl-
der J. R. Smith.
Since the arrival of Rev. Iver-
son, the following have been re-
ceived into the church. Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin S. Land, John Grice.

The City' of Pbrt St. Joe took a
tremendoUi, stride forward in con-
struction during the year 1953 as

About te li percent of the new con-
struction was in the colored quar-
ters.
In the commercial building class

third more construction in the year
just past. hii 1952 a total of $293,-
550.00 worth of building permits

room", valued at $250.00.
These figures include amounts
used for the improvement or the

CONCERNING THE SCOUTS
This week is marking the 44th anniversary
of one of the best boy's organizations in existence
-the Boy Scouts of America.
The boys do many wonderffil and kind deeds
throughout not only this nation, but throughout
the entire world. .
But were it not for a handful of men in
'every community i the United States, there
would be no Boy Sc, uts of America. The scout-.
masters of the nation are to be commended. If
you think not, think of the hours each week
given up free of charge to try-in some small way
to mold boys of different communities ipto the
right way of thinking and acting and providing
activities for these boys to carry on.
-We in Port St. JIe are blessed with a good
scoutmaster and assistant in John Simpson and
Edward Eells: They carry out the ideals of
scouthood and give of their time and money to
teach these ideals to the young men of Port St.
Joe-the future citizens. We can think of no
better way to further. good citizenship among
the youths of our community.
And so, in keeping with the celebration of


the Boy Scout 44th Birthday we would also like
to remind people that it is also the 44th anni- THE LOW DOWN

TOO LATE
TO CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL' KAY

Although the Florida State Rac-
ing Commission had nothing to do
with it, the racing season in Flor-
ida has been extended this year
with the hottest race -of all sche-
duled this spring. It will'be known
as tihe Extra Added Gubernatorial
Derby and in all probability will be
run in two heats.
Entries- to date- include' three
contenders and-it is possible oth-
ers will be entered before the race
starts. IStables have been set up
for Odham, Collins and Johns with
trainers busy asibees.
The racingrules for the .coming
melee are nore or less obscure at
the moment and the Florida Su-
prome Court will serve as a sort of
Racing Commission to determine
just who is and who isn't eligible
to enter. r
At the moment Brailey Odham
seems to be a favorite with the
dopesters. He came in a close sec-
ond At the last Gubernatorial event
and is off to a flying start again
this time. Seasoned and experienc-
ed with a good knowledge of the
course, he is expected' to rull a
fine race. He is. a bit wild at times
and more or less unpredictable; he
is hard to handle and inclined to
take the bit in-his teeth.
LeRoy. Collins, a recognized
thoroughbred, has shown up well
whenever he as been entered in
the past and has several wins to
his credit, but this is thli first time
he has ever been entered in a big
time event like the Gubernatorial
Derby. Observers content that he
is not as fast as Odham but is stea-
dier and more dependable and has
a record of handling himself well.
His trainers are confident he will
give an excellent account of him;
self. Conservative bettors like him
and his odds will improve.
Johns, the Charley horse, is as
dark as they come but has a tre-
mendous advantage. While less ex-
perienced than either Odham or
Collins, he is in the saddle. He has
some.veteran trainers and handlers
and carries the official Guberna-
torial colors. He has the No. 1 spot
in the paddock and is constantly in
the public eye. 'i ]
He is getting top billing and at-
tracts more attention than any oth-
'er entry. Because of his official.


rating .he can draw-bigger crowds
and get more attention, and his
handlers are seeing to it that he
doesn't miss a bet here publicity
is concerned.
At Hialeah or Gulfstream he
would get more attention right now
than a Kentucky Derby winner. To
build up public interest and-fol-
lowing he is being displayed wher-
ever possible and will, be seen in
Tampa. during the Florida State
Fair and Gasparilla Carnival. jThis
single appearance will insure him
an audience of a half million plus
plenty of newspaper and radio
breaks.
The following week he will get
the breaks at- the. Florida 'Citrus
Exposition in Winter Raven. He
may not fare as well there for he
will probablybe ridden hard at the
annual "Press Breakfast" when
the newspaper boys let their hair


Gubernatorial records apart to
find out what they are made of.
Johns has been known to stum-
ble in the past, but his trainers say
he has overcome this fault and his
condition is improving every day.
Efforts are being made in some
quarters to have him disqualified,
but handlers say it can't be done
and they are going right ahead with
their plans to run him in the Der-
by.
The pari-mutuel windows will be
closed for this race but it is ru-
mored'that there will be plenty of
money up just the same. Pick your
owli winner and get a comfortable
seat in the club house for this is
one race you don't want to miss.
The track may be muddy so don't
stand too close to the rail.

responsible for this -special bit. of
attention to the occupant of the
White House. He used to see that
President Truman had a supply of
citrus fruit on hand, but it was
only after reading that President
Eisenhower never ate breakfast
without grapefruit, that he started
the air express shipments. Not only
is the grapefruit sent by air, it is
carefully selected and picked Mon-
day morning, so that no finer grape-
fruit is available in the United

President. Incidentally, the job of
selecting the fruit is done by a

Foot-And-Mouth Disease
False alarms have become an en-
couraging omen in the 'battle
against foot-and-mouth disease in
Mexico. Several times during the
past few months, Mexican stock-
men and inspectors have urgently
reported animals affected with
symptoms of this disease. In every
instance, however, diagnosis has
shown some other infection to be
the cause, such as foot rot Or
vesicular stomatitis. The fact that
no outbreaks of foot-and-mouth dis-
ease have been seen in Mexico
since the end of 1949 has given new
hope that it eventually may be
eradicated.

The State Supreme Court heard
arguments Wednesday afternoon
in a suit to determine whether
'Charley E. Johns, now acting gover-
,i6r as president of the State Sen-
ate, is eligible to seek election to
the unexpired McCarty term.
Johns has announced he's run-
ning against Brailey Odham and
Leroy Collins and has submitted
his qualification fee and papers to
,the secretary of state.
But J. Frank West, a young Wil-
liston lawyer who claims he has no
axes to grind, has sued to disqualify
Johns on the basis ofla constitution-
al provision that no member of the
legislature which raised the gover-
nor's salary may hold office as gov-
ernor until his term in the Legisla-
ture has expired,.
The present Legislature of which
Johns is a member until 1956 au-
thorized a pay raise for the gov-
ernor. Johns claims, it was an il-
legal increase, that even if it were
valid it has been wiped out by Cab-
inet action at his request, and that
he is eligible.
Collins and Odham, apparently


ignoring the question of Johns' eli-
gibility, are out campaigning. Od-
ha.ni S.aifud oil dealer, has start-
ed a series of abbreviated versions
of the radio talkathons which gained
him second place to McCarty in
the 195'2 canipaign.
Collins,, Tallahassee legislator
and close .'associate' of MeCarty,
still is,'spending most of his'time
getting together a campaign organ-
ization. He plans to start his
stump speaking tour about Feb. 15.
The Supreme Court, by expedit-
ing the case, might by that'time
have decided whether Johns mnay
run.
It probably will take more time
on another constitutional question
which came to the fore at, Gov.
McCarty's death:
May the governor elected this
year to fill out McCarty's unex-
pired term run again' in 1956 for
a full four-year term of his own?
That puzzler has: been raised by
House Speaker 'C. Farris Bryant
of Ocala. Circuit Judge W. May
Walker of Tallahassee ruled the
constitutional ban on' a Florida
governor succeeding himself does
not apply to a two-year governor
and the man elected this year
could hold office for six years if

A true dirt gardener, who grows her own flowers, shares
a Royal hobby centuries old. 1


Amateur gardeners assert that
their do-it-yourself hobby is not
only the most widely practiced
today, but the most ancient of all
the avocations now followed in
leisure hours. by, millions, of
Americans.
They can cite history to prove
that the fascination of growing
your own plants has appealed to
men since history began. Ancient
rulers with armies of servants
found pleasure in planning gar-
dens and personally planting
them.
The Persian emperdr,- Cyrus.
laid out a park in front of his
palace at Sardis and proudly told
Lysander, the Spartan, that his
own hands had planted many of
the trees.
Not every garden owner today
can make the same boast as
.Cyrus. But garden club members
will agree that the keenest thrill
to be won from this hobby is ex-
perienced when a flower blooms
on a plant which grew from a
seed or bulb which you planted,
like Cyrus, with your own hands.
The difference between ,gow-
ing a garden and admiring those
grown by others finds a parallel
in athletic sports. No-spectator
can ever share completely the
physical benefits and sense of
achievement which the player en-
joys.


SWhile its greatest rewards are
in mental and physical health,
gardening with your 'own hands
in these times pays substantial
material profits which the whole
family can share.
Oh a small plot most of the
vegetables needed by the aver-
age family can be grown in fewer
hours work than it would take
to shop for them in the market.
Decorative gardening not only
rewards the gardener but adds,
substantially to the value of the
home where it is ci trticed
The social -contacts which de-
velo'pfrom sacti..l,-y ir'gardenirig
are not the least of its rewards.
The rapid expansion of the gar-
den club movement among both
men and women is based upon
the spreading, interest in this
hobby.
Many clubs require that their
members be "dirt gardeners"
who plant things with their own
hands. To qualify for member-
shil in this fraternity, winter is
an excellent time to begin. A
seed box in a sunny window
gives the best of all initiations to
the practice of plant growing.
Every tiny seedling can be seen
as an individual, dependent oin
your care, and by watching its
progress or decline, as you suc-
ceed or fail. lessons can be
learned far more quickly than in
the garden.


Cooperation Between Doctors and

Dentists Saves Teeth, ProtectsHealth


(This article is published as a
public service by The Star in co-
operation with the Northwest
Florida Dental Society).
Few people realize that many di-
seases of the human being have
their origin in or about the mouth.
The famous Mayo Medical Cen-
ter-has issued the statement that
85 percent of all systemic diseases
originate about the head and neck,
and that 80 percent of these have
some of' their earliest symptoms
in and about the mouth and teeth.
That's why dentistry and medi-
cine so often overlap. The prob-
lems of both the dentist and the
physician meet in the mouth, in
many cases. That's why, too, the
dentist and the physician so often
must work together. Therefore. if
your.physician refers you to a den-
tist, don't jump to the conclusion
that it means the dentist is going
to extract all your teeth, or per-


would refer you to a dentist be-
cause of some kind of trouble with
your teeth or gums. As a rule, any
good dentist can treat such things
without referring you to a dental
specialist, and will not do so un-
less it is for the patient's benefit.
Remember that the "last thing"..
a good dentist wants to do is to
"pull a tooth". He better than any-
one elW--including a physician-
knows the great value of teeth; the
indispensable part they play in
health and normal living. No good
dentist will cause you to lose. a
tooth if he posisbly can save it,
without endangering your health.
Infected or diseased teeth, of
course, are another matter. Often
it, is urgent that such teeth be re-
moved to save further damage in
the mouth, or to prevent a serious
infection from pouring poisons in-
to the bloodstream of the body.
Most people would not suffer for


haps even one of them. It may more than a few hours with an in-
mean something entirely different fected finger. If it got bad, he
-such as some misplacement or would have it treated, to prevent
"crowding" of your teeth, some di- blood poisoning and to relieve the
sease of the gums or a number of pain. But many people will neglect
other ailments of the mouth. That an infected or -decayed tooth for
is why we have dentists who are months or even years, especially if
specialists in oral (mouth) diseases there is no pain. Yet such a tooth
or in surgery of ,the mouth, may be transmitting infection-

Rheumatism ,and arthritis aye
two different diseases that are
often confused by many people.
They are both' members of the
rheumatic disease family the
country's number one crippler.
About 7%! million people are-
affected in varying degrees, ac-
cording to the Public Health
Service. They lose an average of
550 million dollars in wages and
spend 100 million for medical
care annually.
Rheumatoid arthritis, popularly
called rheumatism, and osteo-ar-
thritis, or degenerative joint dis-
ease, commonly called arthritis,
account for 70 per cent of the
rheumatic disease cases. The
causes and therefore the cures for
both of these diseases are not
known. Doctors recommend treat-
ments that consist of rest and
freedom from mental and physi-
cal strain, balanced diets, some
exercise, heat applications and,
in the case of rheumatism, a new'
hormone drug.
'Rheumatism is the moi'e seri-
ous. of the two diseases, some-
times resultingin deformity and
crippling.-It afflicts three times
as many women as men, from 20
to 50 years of age. Rheumatism
usually starts -in the joints of the
fingers, wrists, knees and feet and
is symptomized by general fa-
tigue, muscular stiffness and

Meet In C. Gil Home
The Virginia BHageod .Junior

sion study program:;
Mrs. Ottway Nichols taught the

Games were played. One of the
'games was a new Chinese game.
Mrs. Gill assisted by her daughter,
Gail, served pimento cheese sand-
wiches, cookies, and hot chocolate
with marshmallows to the follow-
ing members present: Mrs. Ottway


Features
Causing inflammation and
swelling of the tissues.between
the joints, rheumatism produces
stiffening and solidity between
thee bones. Any motion then
causes pain and the muscles, as a
-protective measure, tend. to im-
mobilize the joint.
Rheumatism was found to i'e-
spo'd dramatically to hormone.
drugs such as Cortril. Clinical re-
ports, show that people who were
bedridden and unable to move
their joints have been able to hop
out of bed and move normally
again, when treated with this
drug. A hydrocortisone com-
pound, it urges the ;adrenal
glands in the body to release hor-
mones that relieve the inflamed
tissues and permit movement of
the joint.
Arthritis is one of the oldest
diseases, and the most commonly
known member of this group. The
bones of the dinosaurs show the
telltale sigis of arthritis and the
ancient human, the Java Ape
Man, also had symptoms.
This joint disease affects aging
