JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1955 "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" PIII RACkM'0 A $3.00 Per Year ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY Well, we are a bachelor no more. The family is at home once more. We went up over the holi- day week end and braved the traffic to bring them back home. -- And if anybody should happen R to ask you, it is hot up the coun- try. Mark Tomlinson said "I'm glad you don't have a picture of, me in the water", when we were getting the details of his near tragedy on the fourth in the ac- companying column. He said he lost just a wee mite of his dig-: nity while trying to hang on to his overturned boat while help arrived in the form of C. W. Long and Arnold Daniell. This Fourth was undoubtedly the most celebrated in many years. We don't think the beach- es here have ever been so popu- lated by "relaxers". People were going everywhere to enjoy them- selves, and as a rule were care- ful in so doing. Out of 12 deaths in the State, we had two of them right here in Port St. Joe. That isn't good. The drowning was avoidable but the traffic accident is du-' bious. We have heard, though not officially, that the State Road Department has accepted the White City Road but that it will be reworked. It should be. That road has caused two deaths of Port St. Joe people and about 10 accidents due to its slickness and wavy condition. We also heard that the road had been built to specifications, which somehow eliminated the binding coat of asphalt to the old road and this causes the pav- ing to slip off the old base and make the road rough and wavy. As we say, we heard all this and you can hear anything. At any rate, it shluuAd be cor- rected, and soon, before it causes additional sorrow. You have probably heard of the dredging of the Apalachi- cola River and that this might cause the Chipola cut-off to drop in water level and maybe shut off the new water supply to the mill and to the City. We talked to a Paper Company of- ficial about this and he told us that the Company knew that the dredging operation was going to possibly be carried out even be- fore the canal was dug. He also said that the people of Port St. Joe need never fear about their water supply. In his own words, "The Company isn't going to dig an 18-mile canal only to have a dredging operation make it use- less. There is plenty of water there and we will continue to pump it". 'So rest assured that we will continue to have our good water. It is a pleasure to drink good iced tea after so long. The good water is a god-send. We might say that the State Board of Health has officially told the City of Port St. Joe that they are fortunate to have so good a supply. According to them, we are one of a very few cities in the State that has even good wa- ter and on top of all that soft water. Playground Equipment Will Be Dedicated Fri. A dedication will be held in For- rest Park just prior to the Little League game Friday afternoon to dedicate the park and playground equipment to public service. The dedication will begin at 5:15 and will last for 15 minutes. The Port 'St. Joe Rotary Club, which purchased the playground equip- ment in the Park, will dedicate the equipment to the City for use by the public. Also featured in the dedication will be the unveiling of a marker and plaque to the Rotarians for their fine gift. Taking part in the dedication will be the City 'Council, Rotary officials and the presidents from all the Civic organizations in Port St. Joe. B.

Nobles George Core and Dave Gaskin were the hosts and supplied the fish, king-sized handpainted bream, which they caught on fly tackle in the Dead Lakes-they said.

There is no admission to the game, but do- nations are .usually made by the audience. Money collected in this manner is used to buy balls and bats and to purchase insurance for all the players. Officials of Port St. Joe's Lit- tle League announced this week that the local League is now in possession of its franchise mak- ing it a part of the national Little League organization, and makes the League subject to the national rules and regulations. Due to the fact that the local Little League play was started at a late compared with the rest of the Nation's Little League play National Headquarters were re- luctant to issue the franchise for a short season of play. The franchise limits the play of the Little Leaguers for this the first year and provides that the local teams will not be eligi- ble for tournament play until next year. The franchise, which expires on September 15, cost the local or- ganization $20.00 but also pro- vides necessary forms for regis- tration of Port St. Joe players and provides a record-keeping service as to local players eligibility.

Clarence Oliver, Jr., was drowned at 4:30 p.m. Sunday as his brother and a friend ignored his calls for help because they thought he waa teasing. With his brother, Bryan Oliver, and a friend, the boy was swim- mring in a pool near Highland View. "He was an excellent swimmer," said Sheriff Byrd Parker, who in- vestigated. His companions told Sheriff Par- her that young Oliver was swim- ming in the middle of the pool when suddenly he screamed for help and then disappeared below tho surface. 'Since the water in the deepest part of the pool is no more than ten feet, the youths told the officer .they thought he was teasing, and did nothing about it until he failed to come up. They called for help and, with the assistance, of an un- identified man, managed to drag the boy from the pool. In an effort to revive the youth, first aid was administered at the Municipal Hospital. iSurviving are the father, Clarence Oliver, Highland View; two bro- thers, Bryan and Howard, stationed with the U.

For a full session and for practically two extra months, the Tallahassce wonders have tried to work out a State Reapportionment. We per- sonally hadn't thought ,much about the time that has been expended to make these reappor- tionment changes in our 38 Senatorial Districts. Sunday we saw just how slow they were. Did you know that it took the Continental Congress just slightly over 11 days to draw up the Bill of Rights and lay the ground work of the Constitulion which has stood strong for the past 180 years? Just 11 days to draw up a docu- ment which has shook the world ever since. Of course, we must look at the fact that the men of that Continental Congress had only the good of the Country at heart. We had no thought among that group of Senators about to lose a seat or maybe his state fixing to lose some of its power for the good of the Nation. Nei- ther did that gathering cost the people of this Nation in the excess of $5,000.00 a day. We will admit all too readily that there were disagreements at the Continental meeting just as there are in the present disagreement in our State of Florida. But these men were "big" enough to let petty differences pass by and strive toward making the Country stand for, freedom the world over. They realized what the Florida Legislature must realize before a Reapportionment Measure is passed and that is that everyone cannot have their own way. The Tallahassee Democrat came out in edi- torial recently and scalded the Legislators by declaring that the recent Boys' State delegates Washingiton SEE SAW by WIN PENDLETON A JOB TO DO-Congressian Dante Fascell has been appointed to one committee that all news- men are watching with unusual in- terest. It is a subcommittee of the Covernmen Operations Committee. And the members are to look into charges that Government agencies have denied or withheld informa- tion from the press. That's true, as every Washington newsman knows. And under the Republicans, the sit- uation is getting worse. Many facts that the public should have'are be- ing hidden and buried within he files and desks of official Wash- ington. Favorite dodge of the bu- reaucrats who want to hide mis- takes or keep from being embar- rassed by the truth, is to use the words 'confidential" with the impli- cation that" national security is in- volved. Funniest experience we've had was trying to get Vice-President Nixon's home street address. We called his office, told them who we were, and asked for the infor- mation. They refused to tell us. We reminded them that we knew that the President lived at 1600. Pennsylvania Avenue, but that we just couldn't find the Vice-Pre-si- dent's address. His office said that was "confidential" information and they were not permitted to give it out. Later, after we had called a half dozen people with no results -our Gladys suggested that I look in the Congressional Directory-a public document-a copy on my desk. There was the address-4S01 Tilden St. I felt a little stupid about that time. But the point is that pub- lic officials here are refusing to give information to the public-no matter what. More power to Fas- cell's committee! LO, THE POOR INDIAN-Does all of South Florida belong to the Indians? It seems that after the Indian War, General McComb, then Chief of Staff, went to Florida and made a treaty with the indians as- signing them the lands south of a line from Charlotte Harbor across the state to what is now Martin County. This "McComb Treaty" was regarded by almost everybody as a temporary arrangement. But Morton Silver, a Miami attorney, claims it wasn't temporary-that it is still in effect. Certain Semi- nole Indians that he represents (laim they own all of the land in Florida south of that old line-with the exception (for some reason) of Miami Beach. Last week, these problems were discussed at a lun- cheon in the Capitol. Present were Silver and former Governor Mil- TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY BY RUSSELL KAY FLORIDA-is a name to be proud of.

HOLD IT, BOYS "He-coon" Bob Sikes is going to be mighty unpopular with some of the big monied people up north. Almost single-handed he has thrown a road-block in front of a "giveaway" program whereby the Department of Defense would let out to private contract a number of projects that are now performed more economi- cally by civilians working for the government. Sikes figures his ac- tion will save millions each year -nstedd of enriching a few already over-rich companies. Advertising doesn't cost, it PAYS! It Pays To Advertise Try It.

We are much attracted to the theory of Morton Holman, who writes a column for the Bay County Herald, of Richmond, Mo. "Half the ills of the world would be cured," ' rites r. Holman, "if people didn't have to wear shoes." This comment, he explains, was inspired by a rival columnist on the Richmond News who had announced earlier that "most of the ills of the world would be cured if some device could be invented to limit a woman's telephone con- servation to seven minutes". Mr. Holman favors his own solution very frankly on the basis that it seems more attainable than the curtailment of feminine conversation - on the phone or elsewhere. He further sug- gests that ". the person who gets impatient with women talldng over the telephone probably has a tight pair of'shoes on". He goes on to speak nostalgically of a "hea- ven" he discovered on his recent vacation. "I have not found a place where I could discard the shoes and all the cares that go with a paid of shoes until we visited the Indiana State Park north of Chesterton, Ind. This is a sand dune park, and the sand there is out of this world. It had rained a lot the day before and the sand was wet and cool. In lots of spots we'd sink into the sand above our ankles. Then we'd find a stretch where the sun was shining and the contrast just made that old ingrowing toe-nail feel ashamed of itself for all the misery it has caused us all of these years. "Instead of buying an air conditioner and a big fan during the hot summer weather," con- cludes Mr. Holman, "just pull off your shoes, sick your feet in a tub .of ice-water and you'll be cool for the rest of the day if you keep your feet in the tub ." But right there as all will recognize is the catch. For an editor, keeping cool is still largely a matter of keeping out of hot water - shoes or no shoes! I"" ~si I I and strong churches.

This wonderful sun hat is the handiest fashion item introduced in many a summer and, according to fashion fore- casters, will be a vacation headliner. It inflates with a "puff" and de. plates back to purse size in a jiffy. Designed to protect milady from the ,scorching sun at the seashore, in the garden, in the mountains or just plain walking down city streets, the puff hat comes in one size, to fit every feminine head. ' I It is really a picture hat that compactly fits a purse, can be slipped out at a moment's notice and inflated by blowing gently into a tiny-valve until hat assumes full size as shown by model in picture. Wheni'it has reached full-brimmed proportions-this takes a few seconds and little breath-you bend the valve over, and tuck it out' of sight into a slit. To deflate merae~,.raoye plug, let out air and fold into a small package. .

There were 1747 retired work- ers receiving $82,640.00 in monthly social security payments, according to figures just released by John V. Carey, Social Security Administra- tion District Manager in Panama City. In adidtion to the retired work- ers themselves, 2489 people were receiving $66,059.00 a month as de- pendents of aged workers or as survivors of those who had died. WHITE CITY NEWS by MRS.

One of the changes in the law made it possible for the first time for the survivors of some workers ings in figuring the worker's aver- age monthly wage. This has the effect of increasing the average earnings, from which the monthly payments are figured. Other improvements in the law did not go into effect until the first day of 1955; although these changes had not affected the payments that were being made at the end of 1954, they will contribute further increases in the total amount of benefits payable in the Panama City District Area during this year. Among the amendments that went into effect on the first of he year, one changes the rules for re- ceiving payments while the benefi- ciary is working, one extends cover- age to many kinds of work that did not count toward social security benefits before 19515, and another increases the maximum amount of annual earnings creditable toward benefits from $83600 to $4200.

TALLAHAS;SEE, July 7-The Na- tional Foundation for Infantile Pa- ralysis recently gave recognition to Dr. Ellwood C.

The Foundation feels that Health estimates that there are ap- proximately 340,000 children in this age group. Of that number about 15,000 have had their first and sec- ond vaccine shots. Either one's life is worth living well-and taking some trouble about daily-or else not at all. Good health is about all I envy, except youth. this increase was largely achieved through the energetic leadership of Dr. Nance who as State Chairman devoted four months of intensive effort to the program. "Dr. Nance's dedicated efforts which involved 2500 miles of travel in the State of Florida and per- sonal contact with most of the cam- paign leaders in the 67 counties paid rich dividends", Mr. Jeffries said. In accepting the award, Dr. Nance stated that the support given the 1955 March of Dimes was a direct reflection of the esteem which the people of the State of Florida hold for the Foundation for its many direct services to Florida residents. Dr. Nance expressed confidence that the people of Flor- ida would continue to generously support the March of Dimes until polio is defeated. W. I. Gardner, Former Resident, Dies In N. Y. Walter I.
