Ad gg~gaE 4 Hall Is Built and& Preparations Made For Reception of Notable Delegates (Fourth Article of a Series) The next political move was, tho annual election of a delegate to the legislative council of the tazl ritory. St. Joseph proposed Peter W. Gautier Jr., while the oppon- ents put up Hiram Manley. The former, well-known and popular, was elected, much to the conster- nation of the supporters of thia Old town (Apalachicola). However, during the next ses- sion of the council he displayed as much wisdom as shrewdness. The two important bills passed by the body which related to St. Joseph were in all probability sponsored by him. The first one provided for the formation of a new county, to be known as Calhoun, from por. tions of Franklin, Washington and Jackson counties. St. Joseph was chosen as the county seat. It was probably the wisest thing that could be done under the circum- stances and was so recognized by the Apalachicolans, whose public spokesman, the Apalachicola Ga- zette, commented thus: "The legis- lative council will thus be free (if their powers should prove equal to the task) to legislate their city (Continued on Page 4) Point-Free Shoe Sale Authorized Dealers Given Opporthnity To Get Rid of Odds and Ends. and Broken Sizes Another ration-free period dur- ing which shoe dealers may' get rid of odds and ends and broken sizes without ration stamps, has been authorized by the Office of Price Administration.

Reports coming out of NewxYork and other metropolitan centers tell of fabulous sums that were spent during the 1944 Christmas shopping season. Jewelry merchants are quoted as stating that there was a tremen- dous demand for articles costing from $500 to $2000, and an even greater demand foi items pirced at $75,000 and up. And on top of that was a 20.per cent luxury tax. Furriers tell of corresponding demand in their line of business. Expensive clothing is well up on the list. An exclusive woman's beauty salon has nightgowns priced at $160 to $200, slips from $75 to $150, and housecoats from $275 to $500. !*l!lllltII!IIIIIll i llllll!!lll!!iiil!!IIll !!.lll;I;ll'l'i One jewelry shop:.showed an emerald and The Low Down L E T T E R S diamond necklace, earrings and bracelet prices from TO THE EDITOR at $645,000, a diamond necklace at $235,000, T W illi Swamn I IIilllnliilllllllIIIIIilOllliilulil a string of pearls for $145,000, and a silver Editor of TheStar: Editor of The, Star: tea set for $16,000.
