IT MAY PLAY HOB WITH COURT'S
RULINGS, BUT IS THAT SO BAD?

(From The Washington County News)
A soft-spoken, mild-mannered man from
Marianna might have lighted the fuse here last
week to a legal time bomb that has been dor-
mant for nearly a century. The speaker was
James A. Ormond, insurance man, Sunday School
teacher and former banker and educator.
What he had to say, we believe, should fore-
shadow some test cases in the United States
Supreme Court. It will be the basis, we believe,
for some new legal research. It, no doubt, will
send historians into the musty and almost for-
gotten files of libraries and private collections
in search of more facts.
Ormond's attack was well-documented. It
was directed at something most of us have re-
garded, next to the Bible and the Declaration of
Independence, as the most important document
in the world. It was directed .at the legality of
certain sections of the Constitution of the United
States. Mentioned specifically are the 13th, 14th
and 15th amendments. Those were the amend-
ments that freed the slaves, made them citizens
and gave them the right to vote.
He maintains that the last two of these were
forced into the constitution illegally. He offered
evidence to prove his contention. The 13th
amendment, he said, was submitted to all the
states that had not seceded from the Union dur-
ing the War Between the States. Their legisla-
tures refused to give it the required three-fourths
majority. Then it was submitted to the legisla-
tures of the defeated Southern States. They,
naturally, approved it unanimously. That's the
only way it could be passed.
All that was done before the end of 1865.
The Negroes were not then citizens. The Su-
preme Court had ruled that they were not in its
famous Dred Scott Decision, That decision was
handed down several years earlier. They could
only become citizens by the adoption of another
amendment to the Constitution.
This the Congress set out to do but neither
the House nor the Senate could muster the neces-


For 88 years its validity has been "assumed."
Yet, it was never legally submitted or adopted.
The Northern states refused to ratify it by the
required majority. The Southern States unani-
mously rejected it. Congress then disfranchised
Southern whites and established Negro rule. The
Southern state legislatures then ratified it but
not enough Northern states did to make a three-
fourths majority. The 15th Amendment also
failed of adoption. Neither -became law."
The man from Marianna may have some-
thing there. Government by fraud should be
condoned longer. The Supreme Court should
be asked to rule on -the validity of the amend-
ments without delay. Then, if and when the
amendments are found to be unconstitutional,
they should be properly passed and submitted
to the state legislatures for legal ratification.
This, of course, would neutralize or effectively
delay some of the Supreme Court's more extreme
decisions on segregation. But would that be
bad?

Working with a humble preacher
with an idea in one hand and a
group of well heeled gambling pro-
moters on .the other, God and the
devil battled it out for a foothold
on Florida's famous Gold Coast
and God won.
'It came about when Lee Eshle-
man, a Detroit pastor, visited Flor-
ida in 1946 and asked why there
was no Bible conference grounds
in !South Florida. He was advised
that the price of land suitable for
such a project was prohibitive.
During the war, the Army had
maintained a base at Boca Raton
where a 30-acre portion was occu-
pied by two large buildings, each
a spacious entertainment center for
officers and enlisted men built at
a cost of $3.28,000.
Abandoned at the close of the
war the buildings were vandalized

One of the natural characteristics
of cranberry jelly and other tart
fruit jelly is to "weep" after the
mold is cut. To prevent'this, place
cranberry jelly in smaller molds
so that all of it will be used up at

to stand and "weep."

Is Life

Meaning!e s?

Life is not mean-
ingless to those thou-
sands of people who
&in recent years joined
the Episcopal Church.
Statisticians tell us


that membership in
all churches has nev-
er been so high.
What is the reason?
Life becomes mean-
ingful when lived in obedience to Christ's invi-
tation to follow Him.
The Episcopal Church strives to convince its
members that we have, as the Prayer Book puts
it, a "bounden duty"-"to follow Christ, to wor-
ship God every Sunday in His church, and to
work and pray and give for the spread of His
kingdom."
Whether you are an Episcopalian or not, if
you profess to be a Christian, you have that
"bounden duty." Then life becomes meaningful
and purposeful.
If you're not attending church regularly, if
you haven't found in any church the answer to
your spiritual needs, we invite yeou to worship
with us-today.-in the Episcopal Church
near you.
You owe it to yourself to learn more about
the Episcopal Church. Send the coupon
for a copy of "The Episcopal Church,
Some Essential Facts." No obligation

John V. Carey

Addresses Kiwanis
Written For Last Week
John V. Carey, district manager,
Panama City Social Security office
addressed the Kiwanis Club Wed-
nesday, February 23 and told the
Kiwanians of several changes in
ISocial Security regulations and of
the workings of the service. Carey
told the Kiwanians that:
"Old age and survivors insurance


ers death regardless of his age. ed had at least 1% years of Social'
"Insurance benefits under this Security employment. Of .course,
system are due as a matter of right, application must be made Jor the


having been paid for through Social
Security taxes paid by workers,
their employers and the self-
employed.
At the present time more than
seventy million people have built
up this basic protection and nine
out of 10 people who work for a liv-
ing are now covered. by Social Se-
curity.
"As of December, 1954, seven
million people were drawing month-
ly old age or survivors insurance
checks amounting to $320,000,000.00.
In Florida alone nearly eight mil-
lion is paid each month.


"Effective January 1, 1955 all
persons doing domestic work in and
around our private homes are cov-
ered by FSocial Security if you pay
such a worker $50.00 or more in
cash wages in a calendar quarter;
calendar quarters are three-month
periods beginning January 1, April
1, July 1 and October 1 each year.
Reports of the earnings of such
workers must be made to the direc-
tor of internal revenue within one
month of the close of each calen-
dar quarter. The Social Security
office will help your domestic work-
er get a social security card and
has available free of charge a sim-
ple booklet, "Do You Have A Maid"
which explains this provision of 'he
law.
"Persons aged 72 or over who
have worked 1% years in Social
Security employment are eligible to
draw these insurance checks for
the rest of their lives without re-
gard to their continued earnings.
Beneficiaries under the age of 72
must stop their Social Security'
checks immediately if they expect
to earn more than $1,200.00 in a
taxable year from any kind of a job
or any kind of a business. Income
from investments is not to be
counted in the $1,200 amount.
'"Survivors of persons who died
after June, 1940 and before Sep-
tember, 1950 may be eligible to a
Social Security benefit now where


under Social Security provides ba- the deceased did not have an in-
sic protection against loss of in- sured status under the law in effect

Sikes Asks Govt.


To Pay For Census

Age Check Ups

WASHINGTON (Special)-A bill
introduced in the U. S. House of
Representatives this week by Con-
gressman Bob ,Sikes would provide
that the federal government pay
the cost of census age searches for
applicants for old .age assistance
who have no proof of their age and
who are unable to pay the cost of
the search.
To be eligible for old age assis-
tance an applicant must, among
other things, submit proof that he
or she is 65 years old. In many in-
stances this proof does not exist
and the applicant does not have the
minimum $3.00 fee which is charg-
ed by the Bureau of the Census for
searching its records and furnishing
a statement of the age reported for
an individual when early censuses
: were taken.
The iSikes bill provides that when
a state welfare agency submits an
*application on 'behalf of an aged
person who is unable to pay the
fee himself and pays the cost of a
census age search, 'the federal gov-
ernment will reimburse the state
agency on a quarterly basis for all
money so spent. This would be in.
addition to the amounts prescribed
to be paid to the state under Title


"1 bt th t Social Security Act.
'It has. been my -experlence,"0
Sikes, stated, "that many, aged peo-
pie have been denied old age assis-
tance because they could not prove


4ciJ~rownies-'1iernpt
Tdsteo-f a "Steet- Toot""


That they were 65 yans old. A large
percentage of applicants must de-
pend upon records of the Bureau
of the Census for that proof, and
when they don't have the required
$3.00 fee the door is closed to them.
I feel that the federal government
should include this benefit in 'the
welfare .program and the bill which
I have introduced would accomplish
that purpose."

Chipley Man Is Charged

(Continued From Page 2)
27, along with several other delib-
erately set fires east of Chipley, was
suppressed by volunteers and crews
from the Washington County Unit
of the Florida Forest Service.
County Hanger J. B. Waller and
Ranger Buron 'Cullifer saw Finch
when he got out of his car to set
fire to Mr. Faulk's planted pines.
Waller immediately notified Wash-
ington County Sheriff George Watts
by 2-way radio, and 'kept the car in
which Finch was riding under sur-
veillance until apprehended by
Sheriff Watts and Deputy iSheriff
Henry Pitts.
Mr. Finch is being held in the
Washington county jail pending the
posting of 'bond, which has been set
at $1,000.00 by Judge Carl Trawick.

Know How Long it Takes

Flower Seeds To Sprout


Cosmos takes 5 days. Portulaca takes 10 days.


Flower seeds differ greatly in
the time they take to germinate.
Unless you know when to ex-
pect tiny sprouts to appear
where seed was sown, it is easy
to lose patience, and give the
sowing up as a failure.
Varieties which have the repu-
tation of being "difficult" may
only be slow germinators; and
the skill required to grow them
a question of knowing how long
to wait, so when they do appear
they will not have been aban-
doned. Flowers which germi-
nate quickly are most popular
for sowing directly in the gar-
den.
Among those which should
germinate in 5 days are: Agera-
tum, amaranthus, anthemis,
candytuft, cardinal climber, cen-
taurea, clarkia, calliopsis, cos-
mos, cynoglossum, dahlias, an-
nual pinks, heleniums, helichry-
sum, annual mallow, marigold,
mignonette, four-o-clocks, Vir-
ginia stocks, viscaria, a..d zin-
nia.
When, in addition to quick ger-
mination, a flower has large seed
and colorful blossoms, it is
bound to be widely grown and
popular, because easy to grow.
Marigolds and zinnias, which
share with petunias the popular
leadership, are fast growing,

large seeds; yet petunias, which
rival them in popularity, have
the smallest seeds of any, may
take 12 days to germinate and
are seldom sown directly in the
garden.
The small seeded, slow germ-
inators are as easy to grow as
the fast o .; if they are started
in a seed box. Success may even
be surer, because of reduced
hazards. But it helps to know
how long you must wait for
the sprouts to appear, as it en-
ables you to sow varieties of
about the same germination
period in the same box.
Ten day germinators include
acroclinum, pimpernell, anchusa,
snapdragons, asters, balsam, bra-
chycome, calendula, carnation,
cerastium, cleomb, cosmidum,
dimorphotheca, California pop-
py, gypsophila, lobelia, lupin,
nigella, panry, poppy, portulaca.
scabiosa, tithonia.
Varieties which take from sC
to 20 days to sho.v growth in-
clude begonia, datura, annual
larkspur, godetia, impatiens, ho-
chia, prihnula, s?'.v:.a, salpi.,os-
sis, sweet peas. Of these, lark-
