C OF C. WORKING

ON SECURING OF

FA LOANS HERE

Nece sary to Have Co-opera-
tio\ of Property Owners
Foi\Completion of Plan

The Pot St. Joe Chamber of
Commerce\this week reopened; the
matter of securing Federal Hous.
Sing.. Administration loans up to 75
Super cent for this city, according
to a statement made yesterday by
W. W. Barrier, president of the
chamber.
A mass meeting wa. held last
February in an effort to get such
, loans for Port St. Joe and at that
time H. A. Vandenberg of the
Jacksonville FA' office was press,
en-t and outlined the qualifications
and restrictions necessary; for se-
curing loans.'At that time it was
believed that the Bay Ridge sec-
tion was the only part of the city
that could meet the requirements,
and efforts are being made in that
section to re-subdivide in' order to
make lots larger to meet FRA re-
quirements.
"We are not going to work on
the Bay Ridge section this time,"
said Mr. Barrier. "That is in the.
vpry capable hahds, of Mr: B. W.
Eells. What we are endeavoring to
do is to get approved. loans for
.th' -t.portion of the ciy froca Tenth
I.C Sixth lreet's an T fon Long
avenue to the bay, as we believe
this will allow for the 'construc-
tion of moderate-pr-ced dwellings,
which is one o.'the crying needs
right now in Port St. Joe.
"In order to get this area ap-
proved," continued Mr. Barrier,
we must have the 100 per cent
co-operation of all property own-
ers in that section, and that is
what we are working on now."
The Jacksonville FHA office
has stated, according to Mr. Bar-
rier, ,that approval will be given
on 75 per cent loans here as soon
as all property owners have
agreed to the restrictions as laid
down by that office.
Mr. Barrier urged, on behalf of
thi welfare of the entire city,
.' all' property owners ap-
proached in the matter agree to
abide by these restrictions, as it
will mean a great step forward for
port St. Joe, and a renewal of
building activity if such loans can
be secured.

HOGS DIVE FOR FISH
SAYS CATTLEMAN


An Associated Press dispatch
released last Friday tells of
wild hogs- on the St. Joseph
Peninsula swimming. in the bay
and diving for fish. Credit for
the story is- given to Chauncey
Glass, Apalachicola cattleman.
"The hogs are not ordinary
razorbacks, but a oross with
some other breeo," said Glass.:
He and several other cattlemen
saw them from horseback. The.
hogs were swimming in brack-
ish' water and would duck urt.
der frequently, coming up with
fish in their mouths.
Which, in our opinion, is one
for Robert- Ripley.

Many married couples are happy

'tit chiurebi and.Rev .D. E. Mari-
etta nf tlhe' First iMethodidl lhurichb

This may be a great mystery to
some, but these two ministers
state that they will definitely give
the answer.

will be given at each church Sun-.
day evening-one to the couple
married the longest, one to the

A meeting has i.een called for

those who have signed and any-

In speaking of the movement,
Mr. Lassiter said:
"If the Townsend plan is put
into force it will quickly end the
depression and prevent depres-
sions in the future. It will create
the greatest prosperity e ve r
known and will benefit every
American citizen, directly or indi-

which will create continuous busi-
ness and perma ert prosperity.
The plan', for- 1f"iancing the
movement is to place a 2 per cent
tax .on all transactions, which
would make it self-sustaining ahid
no burden on the taxpayers.
"The Townsend plan .will put
the country on a cash basis," said
Mr. Lassiter.' "Ai:y business man
will gladly pay 2 per cent for
cash. Then why not pay 2 per
cent transaction tax and thereby
create lasting prosperity? Busi-
ness men pay 10 to 20 per cent
to commission salesmen for cash
or credit business, but the Town-
send plan wilt cost them only 2
per cent, and it will be cash busi-
ness, for the old, folks are re-
quired to spend the money. Even
though some business men should
add the tax cost to the selling
price, the increase would not be
noticeable. In most cases business
men would be glad to pay .the 2.
per cent for the increased busi-
ness it would bring."

f LEADS IN PERFORMANCE!
Ford is the only low-priced car with a big, powerful V-8 engine. So fine it doesn't even aeed
"breaking-in." No car with fewer cylinders is so smooth, so much fun to drive!


LEADS IN ECONOMY!
The 85 H. P. Ford V-8 in this year's Gilmore-Yosemite economy run showed the best gas mileage
among all leading low-priced cars. And Ford V-8 owners report that oil is seldom, if ever,.
added between changes.


1 LEADS IN HYDRAULIC BRAKING POWER!
Ford has 162 square inches of braking surface. Biggest ever used on a low-priced car..


r4 LEADS IN STYLE!
Ford has the most advanced styling in the field. Recognized by style authorities and the public
as the year's most beautiful low-priced car! (Don't discover it too late!)


ls LEADS IN RIDEBASE
with 123 inches between front and rear spring anchorage.., nine inches more than car "B," eleven
inches more than"car "C." Yet this big Ford handles easier, is easier to park!


LEADS IN EQUIPMENT AT NO EXTRA COST!
You get equipment on a Ford V-8 that would cost you from $24.70 to $34.00 extra on other
low-priced cars. The Ford price means the price of a complete car.

OUR BIRTHDAY
~NOTHER "birthday" will arrive next
Tuesday, and Americans will celebrate
joyously and enthusiastically, as they have
done- for more than a century and a half, be-
cause they are privileged to live under the
.flag that guarantees the greatest freedom of
,any on earth.
America has proved to the world and to
.its own satisfaction that there can be a gov-
ernment by and with the consent of the peo-
,ple that will endure. No country is wealth-
ier, no country has a government more
stable, in no country is there greater safety,
and in no country is there more liberty in a
large way. In some respects we have been
curtailed in some of our liberties; in recent
years there has been a growing tendency to
restrict, but by and large the United States
is the most independent, the freest and the
most liberal of all existing governments.
While we are restricted in some things, we
have greater freedom in many others than
are granted in any other country.
'Occasionally we make' mistakes in govern-
ment, once'in a while we follow fori 'a time
after a false "god, but generally the. Ameri-
can people get back to original principles in
the end, and the government goes on as
safely, as honestly, as efficiently and as ef-
fectively as any government in the world.
We have more cheap politics and mistakes
in government, perhaps, than in most coun-
tries where established principles are seldom
changed and age-old traditions rule in all
things, but we learn by our mistakes and
much as we often ridicule ourselves, we gen-
erally profit by them.
While we often elevate public men who
-are finworthy of our confidence, we gener-
ally keep the better ones when we finally
discover their real worth, and soon rid our-
selves of the unworthy, and while there is
,generally a good deal of froth in our official
life, there is more that is sound' and solid.
Among us we have a number who will see
'nothing but the froth, and so put In most of
their time criticizing the decadence of things
generally, but there are very few who would
trade this country for any other they can
name. When we look about us in the world
today and see the eternal strife and blood-
shed that marks the political ascendancy of
first one, then another faction in many older
established nations; the blood that is spilled,
the trampling that is done, we realize that
what we have at home is the best that is to
be had anywhere.'
The American people, from a small begin-
ning, have done immeasurably well. From a
handful of super-patriots determined no
longer to submit to the tyranny of a mother
country to the present great republic with
peace, contentment and happiness through-
out its broad area, among its 130,000,000 peo-
ples, is a far cry, yet it is but 163 years that
it has all been done. Greater progress to real
freedom has been made in the United States
in these years than has been made in any
other part of the world in several times as
many.
'We stand, a new nation comparatively, the
greatest in the world-at peace with all the
world, respected and admired-also envied-
by all the world. While it is a fortunate po-


sition, it is also a position of responsibility,
for we have an example to set and a caution
to observe.
So, when we observe the Fourth of July
-our birthday-let us take into considera-
tion our good fortune to be living in this land
of the free.

Washington is worrying nowadays about
"bad" words-not the profanity sometimes
occasioned by a rapidly climbing thermometer
but "bad" words from an economic point of
view. It all started when one of the New
Deal advisers with time on his hands pre-
pared a confidential memorandum for the
use of witnesses appearing before congres-
sional committees. The list of "good" and
"bad" words is to aid witnesses in presenting
their testimony so that current governmental
activities now in the doghouse of public opin-
ion will appear in a better light. Thus, wit-
nesses are cautioned never, never to speak
of "government spending." Call is "govern-
ment running expenses" or "government
plant," the word-wizard advises. And don't
use the ugly word "'debt"-call it "invest-
ment"

Best indication to date that congress really
wants to adjourn by July 15 is the recent
mood exhibited by the house. That chamber
has suddenly begun meeting at 11 a. m.,
which is an hour earlier than usual. And sev-
eral sessions have lasted past the supper
hour as compared with the usual "about five
o'clock" recess.

The opening guns in the coming governor's
race are being loaded and primed, and the
loudest banging of breech blocks comes from
over Tampa way, where they are grooming
Pat Whitaker. We expect a louder noise
when their big gun back-fires.-Highlands
County News.

J Anybody who is ableto figure out what. is
going to' happen in Europe is wasting his
time. He could walk into a race track with
two bucks and walk out with first and sec-
ond mortgages on the plant. Cincinnati
Enquirer.

"Dog days" begin July 3 and continue for
40 days, until August 11. This period is sup-
posed to encompass the hottest days of the
year, but if they're any hotter than the hot
days we've been having-woe unto us!

In some ways the modern man is very
similar to the primitive man. If his women
folk talk too much, he goes to his club, while
his ancestor just reached for it.-Montreal

The wise business man advertises and
keeps his stock turning over--the business,
man who doesn't advertise merely dusts off
the same goods day after day.

If the St. Johns rivei flows north, why
does the North river flow south?-Florida
Times-Union. That's your question, brother,

This rainy weather the past two weeks
has been playing havoc with our fishing. We
have been forced to stay in the shop and
work, much against our will.

The death toll this Fourth of July won't
be as big as last year, due to the fact that
it will be a one-day affair instead of a three-
day week-end.

The opposition to the great paperhanger
has about decided that a map of Europe in
one color would be monotonous. Boston

Too Late to Classify:
SBy RUSSELL KAY


Well, folks, after drlvin' 1200
miles and standing' around for
hours getting' my credentials and
press badge fixed up and figurin'
I'm all- set to take in the whole
four-day show, along comes Old
Mama Nature and slaps me down
with a'mesx of tonsilitis thatruns
my temperature up to 103 before
I even know what's wrong with
me.
.. Btt-; you"dotn't care about my
hard 'ludk,' so I'll describe what I
can remember of that eventful
first day of the National Town.
send Convention, which is all I
got to see. It opened, you know,
on Thursday, but all day Tuesday
and Wednesday the Townsendites
came by special trains, by buses,
in gigantic motorcades, one being
over 12 miles long which started
in Colorado. Some even hitch-
hikedi and from as distant points
as Washington and California.
In spite of the fact the Cadle
auditorium has a seating capacity
of 12,000, long before the opening
hour of the convention the place
was packed and over 2000 re-
mained outside the doors, unable
to gain admission.
The popularity of Doctor Town-
send was evidenced when, early
on the program, he appeared for
a word of greeting. The audience
went wild, everyone in the great
auditorium rising to their feet to
scream a welcome. Later, during
his talk, when he offered to step
down and make way for any other
leader that Townsendites might
feel was better qualified than him-
self, the response was a thunder-
ous "No."
Into every congressional district
where senators or congressmen
failed to vote for the Townsend
bill, will be sent "Townsend Trail
Blazers" whose task it will be to
organize the territory so as to not
only insure defeat of the offend-
ing officeholder, but mean the cer-
tain election of his opponent.
Florida was well represented,
with several hundred delegates
from all sections, wnile her politi-
cal contingent was on a par with
those of most other states.
Highlights of the opening day
that linger in my fevered memory
are: Polly Rose tramping down
the aisle with a flag, Jerry Car-
ter and Burton Schoepf working
themselves into a foam as mem-
bers of the resolutions committee;
Raymond and Mrs. Sheldon roam-
ing around the hotel lobby-with-
out a gun; Ross Allen showing
movies to the old folks; pretty


girls passing "Florida 1940"' rib-
bons and badges; Pat Cannon tak.
ing a bow;. George Scofield, just
among 'em looking' the situation
over, and many others.
The convention was a "hot"
in more respects than one. The
Indiana sun burned down all four
days and the delegates were
wrapped in a blanket of humidity
which made breathing a labor of
the finest magnitude. Believe me,
it will be a pleasure for us Flor-
idians to get back to our good old
"air conditioned" Florida.
The temperature these strepto-
coccus germs gave me was noth-
ing compared to the temperature
given to the convention by'a few
insurgents who wanted to throw
the Doctor out on his, ear and take
over control. The revolters issued
a statement condemning the "seiz-
ure" by Dr. Townsend and his son
Robert of perpetual control of the
cause and threatening the forma-
tion of an "independent" old age
pension organization. The regu-
lars answered this threat by
adopting a resolution providing
for the assumption of leadership
by son Robert in the event Dr.
Townsend :should' for any reason
be unable to serve.
At the close of the meeting,
12,000 men and women returned
to their homes in every part of
the nation. These folks are filled
with a fervent desire to make new
converts to their creed. In their
homes will be millions of folks,
waiting for their reports and
ready to respond with action.
Those politicians who have used
the "movement" for a bandwagon
upon which to riae into office are
in for a hot time themselves when
they come up for re-ejection. At
the same time the "faithful" will
receive their reward-and that in-
cludes the entire Florida congres-
sional delegation: Representatives
Cannon, Green, Hendricks and
Peterson in the house and Sena-
tors Pepper and Andrews in the
senate.
---- -----

TOWNSENDITES

BACK HODGES

Jacksonville leaders of the
Townsend movement have under
way a move petitioning William
C. Hodges of Tallahassee to run
for governor. They say he is one
of the few senators during the
last session who made a sincere
effort to aid them.
These petitions will be gener-
ally circulated and it is expected
that the Townsend vote. Florida's
most powerful political factor,
will line up for Hodges as a re-
sult.

JACK SANFORD INJURED
WHEN STRUCK BY CAR

Jack Sanford, 5, son of John
.Safiford, was struck by an auto-
mobile driven by "Shorty" Hen-
derson Tuesday evening about 7,
o'clock while playing in front of"
the. home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Lane on Fourth street.
The headlight struck the child
and the glass cut him about the
head. He fell in front of the car
but the wheels did not pass over
his body. It has not yet been de-
termined if the tot suffered in-
ternal injuries.
According to Henderson, the ac-
cident was unavoidable, as he was
driving slowly and the boy ran di-
rectly in front of the car.
