JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1944 NUMBER - J Electric Rates S N To Be Reduced By a- Florida Power ts r Expect Further Economies to It Allow for Additional Re-' n ductions Later 1, We reckon the Florida Power 0 Corporation knows what it is do- n ing in giving a general reduction d in rates for, after a'l, they know how much it costs them to put out a gallon of juice, and with every- thing else we use sky-high and f still heading for the stratosphere it's sure good hews to Mr. and e Mrs. Public to be informed that s at least one item is going to .be s reduced in price. This issue of The Star carries an announcement by the power f company that effective Decembei' L there will tbe a general reduction of rates -to residential and com- mercial customers of the company. Says A. W. Higgins, president of the concern: "This is the first or a series of three reductions planned for our customers, ana this reduction will amount to a saving in excess of $325,000." Anu that ain't hay, folks. 'J. 'C. Farnell, local fishing ex- ponentf-manager for 'the company', 1 in commenting on the reduction, said that this action was in, line with the policy of the company and if it hadn't been for the war- time increases in co'ts ,: fuel oil, materials, etc., the. rate reduction would have taken pf ce earlier. In fact, to hear him talk, we ar- rived at the conclusion that if it hadn't been for him we would n have gotten the reduction, for an- other year. "Now that Victory is in sight,' said J. C. yesterday, "we want to pass on this initial saving to our customers this year and we expect' to effect further economies of op- eration making possible the an- nouncement of a second and third reduction at the earliest possible moment." And then really getting Into his stride as an orator, J. C. con- tinned, "Florida Power has always I made voluntary rate reductions whenever possible, and the three rate reductions now planned wi i be of real benefit to every cus- b tomer and is proof of the com- I pany's faith in the post-war future I of Port St. Joe and surroundifig territory." 1 Concert Precedes Dance Tonight 318th Army Service Force Band From Camp Gordon Johnston To Play at Centennial Bldg. s e Music for the Florida, War Fund c dance at the Centennial Auditor- t ium tonight will "'be fuiriished by o Camp Gordon Johjfstonn' 318th Army Air Force band. b The band will present an open- 1 air concert from 8 to 9:30 in t front of the Centennial building t. before the dance starts. q The band is not new to Port St. le Joe reid-ents. having appeared here'duriin 'the, Fifth War Loan drive. Citation Given Publisher By Kiwanis Club In Recognition of Contribution 1u The War Program or The Nation In the belief that the editor o01 The Star has, contributed some- thing to the war effort of the na- tion and to Port St. Joe in particu- lar, the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club last evening awarded Ye Ed, a "Certificate of Citation" as part or the observance of National News- paper Week. Every week is Newspaper Week to your editor-in fact, he had for- gotten that' October 1 to 8 had been designated as "Newspaper Week," what with gathering news and advertisements and setting the type for the paper, turning out gosh only knows how much commercial printing, talking with customers and just, plain loafers who don't have anything else to do but pass the time of day with the editor. answering the phone (and a lot of the calls are wrong numbers), getting out the monthly bills and paying out more than we ever hope to take in (the bank has become accustomed to our overdrafts after eight years), and a thousand-and-ohe other jobs that fall to the lot of the operator or a country weekly. What little we have contributed ;q( oulabor apd spac:.;. T.h, Starn lhas beef given gladly and without thought of recompense, and while the Kiwanis award comes as a pleasant .surprise, we can name offhand a half dozen residents ot our city who have done more to- ward the war effort than we have and, who are more entitled to the certificate than we are. However, it gives, us a pleasant glow, for very seldom' does a newspaper publisher get a 'pat, on' the' back for the columns of free publicity he gives during the course of a year. And it's a good thing, too, for if too much praise were to be lavished upon him there probably would be no lengths as to the amount of white space he would hand out gratis. Anyway., we didn't intend to make this an editorial, and it's t mighty pretty certificate, signed t by the president and, secretary T I Kiwanis International and by t Harry McKfilght, president, anda A.

By Score of 20 to 13; Play At Chipley Tonight The St. Joe. High Sharks, won their first scheduled football game of the season last Friday after- noon when' they defeated the Chat- tahoochee high team at Chatta- hoochee by a 20 to 13 score., The ganre started 'with St. Joe repeivinu thf t and in spite )f the fact that the local boys kept the ball in Chattahoochee ter- ritory most of the time, the first quarter was scoreless. Things began to happen in the second quarter when two touch- downs were scored by Donald Linton. Alfred Rhames converted with a place-kick after the second touchdown and the score at the end of the quarter stood 14-0 in favor of ,Port St. Joe,. The Chattahoochee lads came back fighting mad in the third quarter and chalked up two scores, converting one for extra point. In ;he meanwhile Ralph Silva ran one across for the Sharks, making the score 20 to 13. In the final quarter both teams fought hard, St. Joe to hold its 7-point lead 'and' Chattahoochee to make just. one, touchdown for a possible tie score,e 'but neither team could- shove- across another counter, and so the tilt ended 20 o 13. The Chattahoocohee game was played by six-man teams, but the Sharks' also have an 11-man set- up, and this aggregation will go to Chipley this afternoon where t will meet the Chipley high eleven at 7:45 tonight under the loodlights.

Millard Caldwell has opposition Three-Foot Ballot Poses Big Problem Straight Party Voting Will Simplify Casting An Intelligent Ballot Unless they study it in advance, Gulf county citizens are likely to be overawed when they receive their 36-inch-long ballots at the November 7 general election. The three column ballot will be about eight inches wide, with one column for Democratic nominees, one for Republican, and a thirA for the ten constitutional amendments to be ratified or rejected, by tnh voters at that time. For those who vote a straight Democratic or straight Republican ballot-that is, vote for every can- didate of one of the parties with- out splitting the ticket-the ballot won't be so formidable. For those, only the ten proposed changes In the state constitution must be marked individually, and those are grouped in the third column of the ballot. Why is the ballot so long? Why couldn't some of the columns been doubled? Why must the Republi- cans and Democrats be listed in separate columns? It all came about as a result o0. provisions and interpretations of the 1941 act, which says, in effect, that all the Democratic nominees must be listed) in one column, and all the Republicans must be listed in another. If the ballot were ten feet long, this ,provision woula continue to, hold, according to re- cent court decisions in Orange county and West, Florida. It is going to make the ballot cumbersome to handle for election officials, but nothing can be done about it, presumably, until the law can be amended by the 1945 legis- lature. Still, those who have seen the ballot say there should be little difficulty in voting it intelligently an d quickly, provided voters wilt study the provisions, of the pro- posed constitutional amendments OFFICE ST.

Our Country Right or Wrong OUR BEHAVIOR ON V-DAY Should the present war with Germany end on a specific date and hour as: did World War I, will there be another spontaneous outburst" of rejoicing from coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf as there was then? People's emotions have been pent up for four years. Most of us have worked unre- mittingly for 48 hours a week. A lot of us have sacrificed countless conveniences, some of us our health, in, an effort to do our part to sustain the men overseas on the firing line. Many have had loved ones who were seri- ously wounded or were killed in action. To these the day will be a solemn one, sur- charged with sincere thankfulness that this world-wide, devastating conflict is half over. Their mood naturally cannot be one of jolli- fication. On, the other hand, there will no doubt be people who will react similarly to the way people reacted on November 11, 1918. The local American Legion post, named in honor of Willis V. Rowan, who gave his life in the European war zone, is asking that we hold V-Day to one of solemnity. Of course, the Legion has no legal authority to enforce its views. To what eAtent these views are adopted and put into practice will, of course, depend on the backing with which publicJ opinion in Port St. Joe gives it. The editor of The Star, on behalf of the Legion, has contacted Mayor J. L. Sharit and he has agreed that the big day should be ob- served as far as possible with reverence and solemnity and has indicated that he will is- sue a proclamation urging such action. Lo- cal business houses have agreed to close for a 24-hour period, as have our local liquor stores, following the announcement of the capitulation of Germany. But on the basis of this war ending as the last did on a given date and hour, keeping the emotions of our citizens within reason- able bounds will be no small task. Also there will be another big difference between tne last and the present war. Then the armistice meant the end of the entire war, but this time it will mean ohrly the end of the war against Germany-we will still have to annihilate' Japan, and this fact may contribute consider- ably to limiting people's outburst of jollifica- tion. However, there is no question but that war Ask Sportsmen Report Amount Of Game Taken Only Method Comrimission Has for Making Census and Knowing Where to Restock Few sportsmen realize the im- portance of reporting the amount of game they have taken when ap- plying for their new hunting If- oenses. Although, it Is an ndefl- ilte method, it is the only means the state department of game and, fresh water fish haa, for making, a game census, so. al Gulf count- being a ghastly business in itself, its ending while calling for feelings of satisfaction to the victors, certainly should not normally lead to an uncurbed emotional explosion. War is too costly in human suffering to admit of that. Yet it is a recognized fact that after months of extreme nervous tension, people are often guided by their emotions rather than by cold logic. Thus the people of Porr St. Joe may divide in their reaction, part en- tering their respective churches to pray and give thanks, while other sturn to unrestrained hilarity. And then, too, the general temperament of the( people may have changed considerably since World War I and this time they may follow the path of dignity and quiet ex- altation. ,_ 'r WHY YOU MAY GET CASH FOR BONDS The Florida Bank in this issue of The Star carries a co-operative announcement with the treasury department stating that war bonds may be cashed and the money for the bond received immediately instead of being paid a week or ten days after the bond is brought in for redemption. There is a reason for this action on the part of the treasury department, and a good one. The new system has been organized solely as a convenience for those who ot sheer necessity must cash bonds. It is In- tended to make it possible for them to hold their bonds longer because their money will be at once available upon the actual occur- rence of any necessity. Some people in Port St. Joe have been cashing their bonds in advance of necessity in order to have their cash in time, but now their bonds will be as negotiable as a govern- ment check and are the most patriotic and safest way to hold interest-earning money -for any future need. Their money is always instantly available after the required 60 days have passed. Naturally, the government does not want bonds cashed, for those people who cash their bonds, except in extreme emergency. are unnecessarily hampering the war effort, for every bond that is cashed they or some fel- low citizen must be sold another. So now that we know we can get cash on the barrelhead for our bonds if and when the need for cashing them arises,, let's hold on to them just as long as we can and put ALL of our savings into bonds instead ot caching some away for that proverbial rainy day. Sellihg for $2.65, a watermelon whose chemical components are worth not more than four cents, ought to have wheels, or at least a handle.-Milwaukee Journal. Aviation foresees planes flying between 15 and 20 miles high in the near future. Man is gradually making his way toward heaven. Millions were paid out in the South this year for tobacco. Here's hoping it doesn't go up in smoke. Keep smiling! hunters are asked to supply this information when obtaining their, 1944-45 hunting licenses. Determination of the areas where the most game is taken enables the department to make arrange- ments for restocking such sec- tions, thus making it to the inter- est of the sportsmen to furnish figures on their season's total bag. But, of course, everyone should be careful not to report more than their legal limit or to mention those doves and that big buck shot out of season. In making. application for hunt- ing. ITcenses, a,. brief census 'form .is contained at the bottom of f~e application and upon being filled, with figures. of: the hunter's pre- vious year's bag (if his luck was good), is turned in to the depart- ment for compilation. County Judge J. E. Pridgeon urges al! sportsmen to o-operate in mak- ing kill reports in order that the game in Gulf county will not be- come depleted. Visiting 'With Parents Mrs: J. P.
