We have accomplished the al-
most impossible. We have filled
up the paper during a week con-
taining a holiday. An almost im-
possible task.

That crazy Bill Nichol H-i
'has taken a brand new blanket aiid
pushed it down into a block o'r ic:e
for a publicity stunt.
You are supposed to guezs how
long It will take for the ice to melt
and In the meantime the brand new
blanket gets soaking wet.
iShucks, he could have left it out-
side Wednesday and accomplished
the same thing.

We have a new business in,
town an auto -parts concern.
It takes these small enterprises
to make the town grow, which it
surely is doing.
Congratulations to the new
owner, C. R. (Dick) -Lamberson
and welcome to Port St. Joe.

Ever notice how much greener
,the grass on the other side? But
.y the time yqu. tear your pants
*climbing the fence, is it worth it?
* The moral- to that little ditty is,
don't you believe it when some-
'hie tells yobi the. other fellow "has
it madee. He has his troubles too.
He's just belter at hiding them
than you are.,

fGrocery building across the street
.from our front door. The builders
have done a good job on the
building and it looks like they
will.be moving in soon.

We took tha' Mercury "rag top"
'iack home and got our own car.
lit's just like coming back home to
-get in your own car again even
after riding in one that cost nearly
Slwice as much.

We are an uncle again. The
brother Edward and his wife Jes-
sie ,Ruth had a little baby girl
Sunday afternoon down in De-
Land.
The brothers are falling down'
on us. They haven't provided us
with as many nephews and neices
'as we have them.

We went in' the Piggly Wiggly
the other day and got some sand-
wioh fixings and paper plates and

She is, and we are not washing

to alil Civilian Defense commands
last week. The letter wa& receiv-
ed by local head of the CD,' Wil-
liam Rasmussen.
To Each Ground Observer Corps
Volunteer:
The Fourth Anniversary of
"Operation Skywatch" marks the
longest continuous peacetime
period in our Nation's history
during which civilian volunteers
have served actively with our
Armed Forces in a national de-
fense effort.
The Ground Observer Corps
has been a vital factor in main-
taining the strength that has as-
sured the peace we enjoy. Our
Nation's strength rests not only
in our Armed Forces, industrial
capability and natural resources,
but, most importantly, in the
spiritual integrity and unselfish
willingness of its citizens to
serve. You have Pemonstrated
these qualities.
Some 400,000 of you are now
serving in observer posts and air
defense filter centers. Your con-
stant and selfless vigilance has
earned you the admiration of all
Americans. In their behalf I sa-
lute you on this occasion. I hope
,nany others will join you in this
important work of strengthening
our air defenses.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
Rasm-iussen stated that a ground
observer corps, is in the process of
being organized in Gullf County. lHe
said that a corps has already been,

process of being; organized.

CHAPPAQUA FOUGHT AND WON
Christian Science Monitor
A month ago a committee of seniors at the
high school of suburban Chappaqua, New York,
.asked that their parents served highballs and
cocktails to them at the annual postcommence-
ment party. The reason? The hope that this
might make less attractive the past practice of
an all-night tour of night clubs and roadhouses.
The proposal betrayed a tragic condition
and presented parents and the community with
Sa cruel dilemma. As The Monitor put is at the
time:
Whether to attempt "control" in the
confidence, perhaps, of a limited victory
or to stand on a moral line and risk a de-
moralizing defeat.
Community discussion was lively and ear-
nest. Churches heard from their pulpits pleas
to parents not to compromise, not to dignify
drinking and lower themselves to playing bar-
tender to their own and others' children.
The party came off a couple of nights ago.
There was extra good music, with special en-
tertainment. The youngsters danced all night,
b:-eakfasted at a local country club, and only
soft drinks were served.
If any of these teen-agers sneaked off in
search of a more "grown-up" excitement at the
hot spots it has not yet been reported. Nor
would it have been possible to report so soon
the later effect on these youngsters' lives had
their parents by example said to them: "Yes,
it smart to drink."

STOP, LOOK and LISTEN
.> \ We hope that before Congress goes any
At^ her with its revolt against President Eisen-
Shwer's advice on defense it will make sure it
O-"l clrsing-th-dM--is y.eifia train is com-
.ia.. The Senate vote'to add ahiiost a billion dol-
lars to the Air Force budget has been explained
partly as a Democratic move to make an elec-
tion-year issue. But much more is involved.


The action here hinged on a section of the
defense budget which has. a decisive bearing or
foreign policy. Mr. Eisenhower had vigorously
appealed for the administration's mutual secur-
,ty bill as a most effective measure for strong
thening American defenses. He argued that
aid to allies and support of free governments
have great military value for the United States.
He had also questioned estimates that the
United States is in danger of falling behind in
strategic air power. He pointed out that sucn
power cannot be figured simply by the numbers
of long-range bombers or by progress in devel-
oping ballistic missiles. The Soviet Union is
compelled to rely chiefly on such weapons be-
cause it lacks overseas bases and the allies, plus
sea power, required to support them. But the
United States does possess these things, and its
strategic air power can be built most efficiently
on a -combination of home and foreign-based
planes.
Congress appears ready to reject both con-
cepts. The House cut more than a billion dol-
lars out of the aid bill; the Senate has added
nearly as much to the budget for the avowed
purpose of getting more long-range bombers
and ballistic missiles. Before the two mea-
sures are completed some changes may be made,
particularly toward restoring part of the cut in
aid. But Congress appears determined to launch
out on a new course of military-diplomatic poli-
cy which would be dangerous if carried far.
This course tends toward less reliance on
and less support for allies overseas. While not
yet developed into an isolationist degree of with-
drawal, it holds the danger of starting a vicious
cycle a progressive pulling back from allies
which would impel them to a progressive pull-
ing back. Its effects would quickly be felt in
NATO already struggling to keep its vigor
against the disarming and disintegrating smiles
of Moscow.
The big bombers have always had a dra-
matic appeal. And air enthusiasts who painted
pictures of easy and quick atomic victories have
struck a popular note. The fact that the long-
range planes need no foreign bases or arrange-
ments with allies has made them congenial to all
isolationist opinion. But heretofore most of the
Democrats and one wing of the Republicans in
Congress have seen and opposed the fallacies
of this oversimplified view of war and diplo-
macy.
Can the Democrats, for the sake of tempo-
rary partisan advantage, afford to switch now
to an essentially isolationist position? Can Re-
publicans, who so badly need the President's
aid in the election, afford to reject his leader-
, slup-in the military and diplomatic fields -
where he is both especially qualified and espe-
cially responsible? New approaches are needed
-o keep American foreign policy abreast of the
times. But in our opinion this one leads exactly
away from the most useful direction. Congress
would be wise to stop, look, and listen.

Collins To Curb

Special Session

Agendy For July

TAL LAIA'SSEE Gov. LeRoy
Collins said Monday that "emer-
gency matters only" will be con-
sidere'd at an expected, 20-day spec-
ial legislative session starting July
23
"I don't expect the special ses-
sion to turn into a short-term gen-
eral session," Collins said. "I hope
'it will be even less than 20 days."
The governor indicated' he will
reject appeals from various agen-
cies for appropriations and new
laws to be considered at the ses-
sion. He said also that even the
actual starting date is not defi-
nito because "there are still some
matters I must clear up before stat-
ing as a fact the session will be
called."
The two principal matters Col-,
lins now plans to include in his call


Tapper said it was apparent
amendments to the code will be

special session are stronger segre-
gation laws and a $3,500,000 ap-
propriation to combat the Mediter-
ranean fruit fly. He said other mon-
ey requests such as fo renlargement
and modernization of the prisons
system may be made in some other
form such as asking the lawmakers
to augment the state's deficiency
appropriation.
He said various proposals are be-
ing considered to expedite rapid
completion of a new maximum se-
curity building at Raiford State
Prison. /
A special committee of judges
and lawyers headed by retired Cir-
cuit Judge L. L. Fabisinski, Pensa-
cola, is, considering segregation
laws, Collins said he has not yet
received the committee's report but
expects it before July 23 and "we
are not going to have a special ses-
--expected next Monday-for the
sion without a definite program."
He indicated he would turn down
a request from the State Develop-
ment Commission that he ask the
Legislature for a $179,3150 approp-
riation to activate three new divi-
sions.
"I admit' it. would be desirable
and a good investment by the state
to expand the work of this commis-
sion, but to qualify for considera-
tion at a special session any pro-
posal must be more than desirable.
There must be a genuine necessity
for it," Collins said.
"I want to see t he work of the
.special session restricted as much
as possible," he said. "Matters to
be considered should be of an
emergency character 'only and I
want to see them so confined."


four-cent money could be spent on
'the state primary highway and
park roads systems."
When the bill came back to the
Senate, Tapper said, insertion of
the word "primary" was overlooked.
As a result, he said, the counties
now are faced with the problem of
having to take over maintenance of
many miles of highway that no lon-
ger qualify as primary roads.

WHOSE ROAD PROGRAM? -
The road bill has passed. It took
Congress more than 18 months to
write one that they could agree on.
The Republicans call it "Ike's" pro-
gram. The Democrats are claiming
credit for it because this .is a
Democratic tCongress. Also, it's
election year.
But let's check the record. Let's
recal Ithe occasion of the original
presentation of th eidea and give
a wee -bit of credit where credit
is due.
On March 17, 1954, Cecil M.
Webb, then Chairman of the Flor-
ida State Road Board, visited Pres-
ident Eisenhower in the White
House and proposed the biggest
Federal road building program in
history.
On July 12, four months later, in
New York jCity, Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon outlined this plan
publicly. Nixon read a speech that
President Eisenhower had planned
to deliver. But due to the death
of his sister-in-law, the wife of his
brother *Milton, President Eisen-
hower was unable to make the
speech .himself.


At that time ,no mention of Ce-
cil Webb was made by Vice-iPresi-
dent Nixon, although the plan was
essentially the same that Webb
had proposed on his March 17 visit
to the White House. There was one
difference worth noting: Webb had
suggested an expenditure of $30
billion over a period of six years.
Prseident Eisenhower called for a
road program costing $50 billion

The bill that Congress passed
last week provides for $3'2.a bil-
lion during the next 13 years. That
isn't exactly the way Cecil Webb
had planned it, but it shows he
was on solid ground.
Some people laughed at Webb
for taking his idea directly to the
President. Some people in Florida
*said he was"just trying to show
off. Even some members of the
Florida Delegation here treated
Wobb as though they thought he
should stick to making Dixie Lily
grits and corn meal-and leave
road building problems to them.
But, it should, be noted that Con-
igressmran' Bob Sikes, "dean" of
the'Florida Delegation, did have
faith enough in Webb's plan to
arrange for a visit to the White
House. And when Webb talked to
President Eisenhower, Sikes sat in
on the conference.
Among the high Flobrida Road of-
ficials who went to the White
House with Webb were Senator
George Tapper, of Port St. Joe,
then chairman of the State Legisla-
ture's Road Committee; Sam Turn-
bull, State Highway Engineer; F.
M. '"Son" Turner, Jr., Road Board
Member from Pensacola.
Later, as chairman of the Road
Department, Webb published his
plan in a booklet entitled', "Flor-
ida's Plan for Better Highways."
This was a copy of a speech which
he made to the Committee on Ad-
ministration .of the American As-
sociation of State Highway Offi-
c.als in Seattle, Washington, No-
vember 8, 19,54.
This is all in the record.
So, during the next few years,
as this great network of 41,000
miles of interstate road is under
construction-remember who first
took the idea. to the President..
Sometimes when you hit a beau-
tiful new stretch of completed
highway on this network-or may-
be complain and fuss about a mis-
craible detour where the new roads
are being built-take time out to
remember the old motto which
says, "There is no limit how much
