EIAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY
We had a nice long interesting
talk with Dr. H. B. Canning the
other day about our error in last
week's editorial.
The doctor also was telling us
his tours in Africa when he was
a medical missionary- there for
some years before coming to
Wewahitchka. He came back
home on a furlough once and
realized that there were some
poor devils over here that need-
ed a doctor but couldn't afford
to pay for it.
The doctor told was telling us
of some of the people of this
county trying to hold back pro-
gress because they wanted things
just like they had always been.
We knew this situation exist-
ed and bemoaned the fact along
with him.
He told us of an instance the
other day when a man tried to
buy a little acreage up around
Wewahitchka to put in a small
truck farm. The man wouldn't
even ,sell the land because "we
never have had any truck farms
around here and don't need 'em
nOW".
The City of Wewahitchka and
Port St. Joe too, for that matter,
could go places if those who had
it would turn loose of a little and
let the youngsters build the
place. Wewahitchka could have
a pretty bright future in the
truck farming and finished wood
products business if they would
just fry. Maybe they will wake
up someday and realize that the
fishing business is not going to
support them and their children
and will start planning for the
future.

County, City, Both
Offer Resolutions
Of Endorsement
The Chamber of Commerce came
up with a project which will be
their first major project attempted.
The planning for the project has
been going on for some time but
publicity has been withheld until
official sanction of the plans could
be obtained.
This past week the chamber re-
ceived official adoption from both
the City and County commission
for their project.
The project in question deals
with the building of a pleasure boat
basin here in Port St. Joe.
'The Chamber is asking the U. ,S.
Corps of Engineers to dredge a
boat basin in the bay allowing en-
trance to the city pier for pleasure
craft. Plans now underway call for
providing facilities for both small
outboards and cabin cruisers. The
'Chamber plans to build docking and
mooring facilities. The reason for
the dock being planned at the foot
of Fifth Street is so that boats
traveling through will be close to
town to enable travelers to stock
up their stores without traveling
great distances.
The St. Joe Paper Company has
unofficially put their endorsement
on the project and pledged the use
of waterfront property for use of
the basin.

of the U. S. District Engineers will

to his area office of the amount of
work that will be entailed in dredg-
ing out the channel and basin to
the existing pier.
The Chamber hopes to have the
project completed within 12 months.
President Earl Atchison says
that the project is practically as-
sured since both the City and Coun-
ty has endorsed the project. The
fact that the representative from
the Corps of Engineers is coming
to inspect the project shows that

SUPERIOR ; BEAUtY-Here's one advantage you
. can spot as far as you can see! Pontiac's smart
Combination of Twin-Streaked hood and Vogue
Two-Toping is generally acknowledged to be the
major style advance of the year.
SUPERIOR PERFORMAmCE-The Strato-Streak V-8,
too, sets this car, apart from any other. It is the
industry's most modern engine-filled with
"firsts" !that pay off in 200-horsepower* action
and the greatest thrift in Pontiac history.
SUPERIOR SIZE-There's 124 or 122 inches of
road-leveling wheelbase under Pontiac's spacious
Body -by Fisher. And that means a solid sense
of security not surpassed. by any car.
SUPERIOR MANDLINGO ASE-There's extra security,
too, in the lightning response of Pontiac's brakes,
steering and acceleration. Even parking is a
pleasure with action like this. 1c/
SUPERIOR COMFORT-What's your idea on this
score? Big, soft seats? Ample shoulder and leg
room? A cushioned ride? Regal luxury? That's
Pontiac comfort and it won't be topped by any-
thing on the road.
Yet a Pontiac fits any new-car budget! Find out
how little it takes to join the swing to Pontiac.

WE CAN STAND ALONE
Last week we made an error in our editor-
ial. Dr. Canning does not occupy the county
health department building in Wewahitchka.
He occupies the Wewahitchka Clinic building.
The building is owned by the Lister Estate and
the good doctor pays the rent himself. We, and
several other people in our city thought that
the building was the County Health building.
But we were all wrong. We admit it.
We still think that we are not wrong about
the present health department building bill be-
ing wrong for Gulf County. This question will
be voted on the last day of this month.
If this bill passes, the Federal Government
will provide Gulf County with up to $60,000.00
of the $120,000.00 to build the two county health
department buildings for Gulf County one

One cause of an unbalanced spine,
according to Dr. Bartee may be
shock to the body from a fall or a
jar. Another wide-spread cause of
spinal misalignment, he said, is
poor posture.
"Besides improving the child's
personal appearance, good posture
helps toward normal bodily func-
tion. For the child this means bet-
ter grades in his school studies; for
the adult it means more and better
work output on the job," Dr. Bar-
tee explained.
The check-up to be given by the
chiropractor will detect spinal mis-
alignments and posture defects
which may cause interference with
normal transmission of nerve im-
pulses-a situation which, chiro-
practors say, is the direct cause of
health troubles.
There will be no charges made
in the Back-to-School Spinal Check-
Up Clinic, but Dr. Bartee requested
parents who wish to have their
children examined to make appoint-
ments in advance.
