"Scotch Attitude" Needed In Budget

It is our privilege to congratulate the Gulf County Com-
mission for their start on preparing a new operating budget
for the coming year. Monday night, the Board heard sev-
eral requests for operating funds from a few of the county
departments, and assumed an attitude of economy during
the coming year. Certainly economy is needed.
While Gulf County's tax rolls were increased by 1.3
million dollars over last year, this isn't necessarily the green
light to go on a spending spree with money that might come
in from this extra valuation. This is because the extra valu-
ation doesn't mean that new tax payers were added to the
roll. The hike in valuation came from the tax assessor ad-
ding to the value of property already on the tax roll. The
extra money-if it is to come-will come from the same
handful of taxpayers now reaching into their pockets. The
tax assessor merely enlarged the same old pockets, so to
speak.
The fact that the tax assessor enlarged the value of tax-
able property in the county, doesn't automatically add to the
dollar in hand to pay additional taxes on additional valuation.
Take it from us, times have been rugged during the past
year with those now paying taxes-as well as with those who
are homestead exempt. We feel that this is no time to in-
crease the total amount of the present county budget for
next year. And we are happy to see that the commission in
its preliminary budget hearings also has these leanings.
We know there will be some new items and requests for
funds in the new budget, but maybe a shifting around of
funds in one department or another can accomplish some of
the more worthy requests without enlarging the budget.
That old bugaboo, which always gives the commission
a fit-the Road and Bridge Fund--still is to be dealt with
It is our information that this department is asking for a
whopping $173,587.00 this year, or $18,872.00 over last year.
If the Road Fund gets the same- treatment as other Funds
when its time comes. for a hearing, the commission will also
pare this request down to a sensible sum.
While we don't wish the county to go backwards, we do
believe that the time has come to hold our own, or bide our
time for a year, until the economic situation in Gulf County
makes our gnat-size pocketbooks catch up to the dimensions
of our giant size desires.




A Nation Going Mad

The United States is being swept by an epidemic of in-
sanity, which has found feeding grounds in racial conflict.
Every country always has its madmen, but until a gen-
eral outbreak of madness occurs among the people these
madmen are harmless.-

John Dickie Is

Fiddlin' Champ


Last week we gave information
'about reduced benefits payable to
male 'workers at age 62, The chan-
ges made in the Social Security
Law on June 30 also reduced the
work rqeuirements needed for re-
tirement or ,survivors benefits. The
work requirements for disability
consideration have not been reduc-
ed.
Under the new change, an' indi-
vidual only nedes one work credit
for each four calendar quarters in
the period from 195.0 to retirement
age or death, which ever occurs
first. The credits .may have been
earned at any time after 1936, even
though 'the measuring period does
not !begin until January 1951. While
benefits are available on a reduced
basis to 'male workers at age 62,
the work credits necessary must
be determined as of attainment of

sa County, Alabama, during the
WPA days lit In the Fairgrounds at
Birmingham the other day and won
the Southeastern States Fiddling
Contest prize for John Calvin
Dickey.
Dickey, 37, is a native Tuscaloo-
aa Countian, but strayed off 16
yea.r ago ,to Port St. Joe where he


now works as a tour foreman for
the St. Joe Paper Company.
His tune, "Listen To The Mock-
ing Bird", captured the fancy of
the Birmingham audience, Just as
it has many Port St. Joe audiences,
and. beat out some 30 other fiddlers,
including 'his own brother, Reu.ben,
tor -the $100 first prize. He also was
presented with a gold loving cup.
John Calvin came Iby his fiddling
talent naturally. His father, John
L. Dickey, now living near Holt,
was one of the best fiddlers in
Tuscaloosa County 'during tt h e
1930's. John L. has been paralyzed
the last 11 years.
The fiddle that John Calvin.
played' was handed down through
six generations. The last owner
was John Galvin's great grandfa-
ther, John Dickey, a native Alabam-
la&
In the days when -fiddling con-
ventions were held all over Tusca-
loosa County as a means of raising
money for school PTA groups, John
L. Dickey mixed it with such fidd-
lers as Charley and Monkey Brown
and Y. Z. Hamilton. His favorite
tune was "Sally Gooden".
In those days, John I. carried his
three boys along with 'him. Reuben,
the youngest, John Calvin and
Paul. All of them played something.
John Calvin and Reuben were most-
ly fiddlers. Paul -played the guitar.
Reuben himself developed into a
crack fiddler, but he couldn't cope
with the older brother in the Bir-
mingham contest.
John Calvin married the former
Eula Howell, daughter of the late
Dewey Howell of Tuscaloosa. They
have four children ranging in ages
frmo 15 'to 3 and live at 1317 Mar-
vin Avenue, here in Port St. Joe.

chief in hCrge of inspections and
,preventive measures -being carried
on by a State and Federal crew
concentrated at Bonifay.
Discovery of any worms in a
wound on any warm blooded ani-

reported *at once, Meadows said,
to the local county agnet, veteri-
narian or livestock inspector. Col-
fect calls of suspected cases will
be accepted at the emergency.
screwworm headquarters at Boni-
fay, he added. The (phone number
is Liberty 7-2072. An inspector will
be dispatched immediately to col-
lect samples for laboratory identi-
fication, and .to treat the wound.
,In the meantime, sterile screw-
worm flies, produced and packaged
at the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture research laboratory at Kerr-'
ville, Texas, are Ibeing flown to
the Panama City airport for aerial
dispersal over -the Bonifay area at
the rate of about one million a
week.
According to Dr. C. Ia. Campbell,
director of the state's Division of
Animal Industry, new facilities are
'being rushed at Kerrville to in-
crease the potential output there to
about 10 million sterile flies per
week. It is not expected such a
large number will be needed to
wipe out the Bonifay pocket of in-
festation, Campbell said, unless it
should *be discovered th situation
is getting out of control. Fly dis-
persals are presently expected to
continue until the first hard freeze
in West Florida.

Hi Neighbor!
When you work hard for years, making endless
sacrifices, saving every dollar you could to someday
own your own business, you are certainly going to be
more grateful for the patronage of your customers than
if you operated a store for someone else.
In the majority of instances, hard work. privation and
struggle is the story behind your IGA store owner.
He appreciates your business because of the long uphill
fight he had before he was in a po-stion to get
your business. Therefore your retailer asks, that
you make the "Total Test" in his store to prove
to yourself, that you save MORE with IGA's
Every Day Low.Prices. The true story lies
at the bottom of each tape you receive.
the TOTAL will tell the story.

The Foundation memorializes
Marcus Fagg, -who served for over
40 years as -director of the Society,
which under his guidance grew
from a service for one county into
one for the whole state.
Coldewey was appointed local
Chairman by the State Chairman,
-former Governor Millard Caldwell.
"I accepted the job -as State
Chairman 'because I believe in the
great work which the 'Society is
doing. This is an -all-Florida pro-
gram and it deserves our full sup-
port," Caldwell eaid.
"This is a challenge which asks
u-s whether or not we believe in
the cause of private -charity enough
to raise the dollars needed to keep
Sthe Society moving 'ahead as our
great state moves ahead."
Governor Farris Bryant keynoted
the program at the 'kickoff dinner
in Tallahassee in which he said, "It
may just :be that your gift or mine
to the Foundation will' be the one
-which makes It possible for the
Society to give opportunity to some
boy or girl born this year or In the
years -to come, who through his
gneius or spirit will be the force
to ',urn 'the tide of history in our
country or -the world."
"A gift to this great cause is one
of the most rewarding we can ever
make -to any cause."
The services of the Socitey are
supported by direct contributions
from individuals, business firms
and civic and religious groups.
Co-workers who will serve with
Coldewey 'are John- Baesley, Ted
Beard, Mrs. Sue Lewis, Marion

hear George speak. George likes
that camping out in the moun-
toin forests, and all. He thrives
on it. But one night he got more
than he bargained for-his air-
1 conditioned motel he had to stay
in didn't have a swimming pool.
This upset George no end and he
started home.
On his way home he met up
with the editor's neighbor, Mr.,
and Mrs. Cliff Robbins and"
family who were out camp-
ing in a tent. To show his neigh-
borliness, George decided he
would "sleep undef the stars"
for one night with the Robins.'
The next morning George got up
slowly, and said, "you know, I
feel just like a 47 year old man".
Everybody knows George is
only 39.
The moral is, if you are not
In good shape, camping can be

pleasures. Although shortcake can be a year 'round dessert,
it reaches the height of popularity in the summertime when you
can top it with fresh peaches, cherries, strawberries and other
fresh fruits.
This shortcake recipe is the old-fashioned kind similar to
a biscuit dough with sugar and egg added. The finished shortcake
Is sweet and rich extra flavorful for dessert eating.
When you make shortcake this summer, use self-rising flour.
It saves time and assures good results since it already contains
baking powder and salt in the correct amounts. Depend on self-
rising flour for light, tempting shortcakes and for all your
summer baking.
