so much I didn't know until I
came aboard the San Juan. I am
working in the sick bay and help-

Sessions of 1943

Legislature End

Resume of Action Shows That
Most of Governor's Program
Is Given Approval.

TL.- 194 7 'ir%* -'legislative. ses-
.- in, which ended 'ast. Friday, was,
marked by the enactment of one
new state .tax and the defeat of
dozens of other proposed levies.
It set up a two-year tax of three
cents on each standard package
of cigarets to. raise $2,000,000 for
the welfare program and $1,,500,-
000 for distribution among the
counties. It will become effective
July, 1.
It imposed state regulation oa
labor unions and put before the
voters a proposed constitutional
amendment outlawing, the closed
shop, but preserving the right of
collective ,bargaining.
It voted an added $2,400,000 for
public school teachers' salaries.
It gave married women the right
to sue and be sued.
It added a sixth congressional
district extending from coast to
coast in South Florida, andl appro-
priated $20,827,000 to operate state
departments in the next two years,
which is $1,000,000 under sums set
up by, the 1941 legislature for cor-
responding purposes.
In general, it approved with little
-opposition Governor Holland's out-
lined program. However, two of
his major recommendations, school
village limitations and salt water
fishing regulatory powers, for the
conservation commission, never
came to the floor.
It outlawed fraternities, sorori-
ties and other secret societies in
public schools'.
The session was enlivened dur-
ing its first-full wartime meeting
by investigations of state expendi-
tur s;'disagreements among cabi-
net officers, federal-state conflicts
and personal combat between Sen-
ator Raymond Sheldon of Tampa
and Colin English, state school su-
perintendent.
Labor regulation 'brought about
the most sustained fight of the
session, just as it did in 1941-but
this time it was approved, whereas
before it was sidetracked.

Laws are Enacted to

Impose Curfew and

Regulate Vagrants


City Commission Passes Ordin-
ances At Meeting Held
Monday Night

At a special meeting of the city i
commission held Monday evening,
ordinances were passed upon by
the city dads to provide a curfew
law for Port St. Joe and to care
for the rapidly increasing number
of vagrants coming into the' city.
The curfew law provides that no
children under 16 years, of age are
to be allowed upon the streets or
in or about public places between
the hours -of 11 p. m. and, 5 p. m.
unless they are engaged, in some
lawful occupation or accompanied
by their parents or some other re-
sponsible adult.
The ordinance contains a clause
holding parents of such .children
responsible to that extent.
IThe ordinance to curb vagrancy
in the city makes subject to fine
or imprisonment common drunk-
ard-s, prostitutes, gamblers and
others who. have no lawful or vls-
ible.means of support.
It provides for a fine not to ex-
ceed $500 or 60 days in jail, or
both such fine and imprisonment.

Redistrictinrg Bill

For CouiSty PietsSed

Now Awaiting Governor's Signa-
ture; Would Give Port St. Joe
Another Comrmissioner

A local law was .passed upon by
the legislature In its closing hours
authorizing 'the board of county
commissioners of Gulf county to
call and hold an election for the
approval or rejection of a plan to
redistriot the county. The measure
was submitted by. Representative
E. Clay Lewis Jr., at the request
of several hundred, voters in this
section. It is now in the hands of
Governor Hollandi-awaiting his sig-
nature.
The election for reilistricting can
be called ait any time by the com-
missioners upon the presentation
of a petition bearing the signa-
tures of a majority of the Qualified
electors of the county, accom-
panied by a proposed plan of rin-
districting.
'The commissioners may call the
election 90 days, after presentation
of the petition. During this period
other plans for redistricting can
be submitted upon presentation of
a petition searing the signatures
of 20 per cent or more o.f the quali-
fied electors., and if such alternate
plans are submitted, both must be
placed upon the ballot for the spe-
cial election.
As the greater portion of the
county's population lies in the
Port St. Joe section, residents here
believe they are entitled to more
representation on the board of
commissioners, hence the bill for
redistricting. At present this dis-
trict has but one commissioner.

AUTO STAMPS ARE

Motorists of Port St. Joe are
reminded that the new federal
auto use tax stamps went on sale
yesterday at the posoffice.
The stamps cost $5 each and
must be displayed on the wind

I urday Evening Is Nerve-
nostly Wracking Affair
articl- -
s in- In one of the most hectic and
then nerve-wracking softball games yet
from to be played in the recently-organ-
., $1" iz.ed league, a Rotary-sponsored
team went down to defeat at the
graph hands of 'the Navy Saturday eve-
ccord- ning by a score of 7 to 6 in an
ount' eleven-inning tilt that threatened
ck by to continue indefinitely.
18,883 Both teams scored two runs in
the first inning and then the play-
es fil- ers settled down and really dished
es to- out some good .1 iyvin'. In the
comp- sixth St. Joe managed to chalk up
which one tally, 'LL.: 1le. .-,._not to. he
ontro-- outdone, evened he, score in their
rment half of the inning, and again, for
fall. four innings, the score board
showed nothing but goose egg's.
'Then came the eleventh, and
S i final, inning. The St. Joe players
hitched up their britches, spit on
S i their hands and really went tO
town. When the dust settled, three.
men had crossed the plate, giving,
St. Joe a three-run lead over their
salty opponents, and the tear'n
congratulated itself as having thio
game on ice.
But the Navy ihad "last bats'
and, true to their reputation tb
[go down fighting, they waded in
'and gave all they had. Result:
;Four runs andi the ball game.
Lieut. R. M. Ogden, who hac-
I been at bat four times previously
With nary a bingle, brought in thte
winning run with a short grounder
through first-
Making up the Rotary team were
Guy Little, Tom Owens, Tom Mor-
rison, Buster Owens, Joe Mira, L.
Sales, Jake Belin, W. Quarles, 3.
A. Carr, Bill Ebersole and, T. V.
] Morris.
*Ebe'ole was shoved in during
the sixth inning as a pinch hitter,
replacing Morris, who swung like
a rusty gate, but fanned both times
he came to bat.
Guy Little chalked up the long-
est hit, getting a three-bagger, but
by the time he reached, third he
\was all in and had to sit down on
]the sack'for a long rest.

Our Country Right or Wrong

POLITICS, AS USUAL?
It looks to us that it is "politics, as usual"
as far as John L. Lewis is concerned-that
the politicians figure they have lost the farm
vote through the manner in which they have
treated agriculture, and are now playing up
to labor to keep the huge block of votes in-
tact for the 1944 campaign.
This matter of playing politics during this
grave emergency, with a "to hell with what
happens to the country as long as we get
elected" attitude gripes us. And, too, it does
not sit well with our men in the armed forces,
particularly those on the battlefronts, who
continually deplore 'the strike situation here
at home.
Private Byron M. Edgett, of Des Moines,
Iowa, now in an army hospital in New Gui-
nea, in an open letter to Mr. Lewis, expresses
his opinion- in words better than we could:
"Should we strike for higher wages? What
would your reaction be in our place? .Living
in mud and dust, fighting vermin and mobsqui-
toes, suffering under a blazing sun, and al-
ways waiting for equipment-for planes and
food-only to read that -Americaifs at home
*are too concerned with personal welfare to
worry about our. precarious foothold, still
slippery with the blood of our comrades. Are


we, or are we not, entitled to 100 per cent
support from our country?
"Would you like to think, Mr. Lewis, that
by lengthening the war a day, a week, or a
month, you have cost lives of thousands of
men-unselfish men? These miners have fa-
thers, sons and brothers in the service. When
they realize that following your dictates will
mean that more of their loved ones are not
coming home, how will you maintain that
you have been their champion?
"So, sir, I say to you, and to all of you,
guard jealously those things we have given
to your keeping, for one day those of us who
do return will call for a strict accounting."
John L. Lewis is a saboteur of the worst
kind, and we cannot understand why he Is
not treated as such by our government of-
ficials. There is only one answer to that, in
our humble opinion-politics as usual. Hold
the labor vote until after the election at any
cost, even if it means the death of additional
thousands of our men.

The head of the United Mine Workers, ac-
cording to news reports, said to the men who
struck: "Your record of patriotism can never
be challenged." Sez he! Well, we challenge
it right here and now!

The disorder created in a Kansas town of
10,000 by a tornado the other day went prac-
tically unnoticed, as it occurred during the
spring-cleaning period.-Atlanta Journal.

There are two good places to put strikers
today-in tlhe army and on the farms. Maybe
then they would get an idea of what real
work .is.

We're not quite as bad off as Little Bo
Peep. We know where our sheep are, but
haven't sufficient points to get -them.-Palm
I~each, Post.

The G. 0. P. is quite miserable lately, for
every time it puts its ear to the ground it
hears the distant rumble of the Fourth Term.

Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

Editor The Star-The other day
I just missed killing a child within
my car. About 9:30 a. m., while
passing through Highland View, a
child about three years old ran in
front of my ca.r about 20 feet
ahead,. I managed to stop my car-
about five feet from the youngster
and he continued: across the high-
way as. if there was not a car in
sight.
You can't blame a child of this
age for acts like this, as they know
no better. It is the fault of the,
parents who allow^them to wandei-
about as ,they choose.
Through your paper, you may
wake up these parents to the risks
they are taking and' the heartaches
they may bring upon. themselves
when they 'let their youngsters
play on or near a thru highway.
Yours truly,
C. A. Soderberg.
