Maddox Tells of Cannibals and Snakes On Island Writes interestingly of Natives On South Pacific Isle Where He Is Stationed Somewhere in S. Pacific 20 July 1945 Dear Editor Bill Have been missing TThe Star lately; will sure ba glad when it catches up with me again. They mean quite a bit to a fellow. I read about your fish- ing trip with IHuggins and Cooper. You couldn't have picked a better pair of fishermen to take you than C.apt. Frudaker and Capt. Maltazo. they both know the bottom of that Gulf like a map. Wish I were look- ing at the, Gulf instead of this Pa- cific. I have been in a couple of the different island groups before i came to this one. Some of them are certainly pretty. Thisoisiland Is quite large and very tropical. i have been over a good portion oL it and found that they actually have cannibals, or hea.di hunters. and the largest snakes there are. Frank Buck captured the largest pIyithon in captivity here. There is also a large .bat with a wingspan of around 36 inches; the natives catch them, fatten them up with papa.as and eat them. What a dish! I was up in the jungle not long ago looking for bananas. It really .is. thick and rather spooky all kinds of queer noises. Found a beautiful waterfall on a hill wi'.h a small pool on top that had the largest crayfish I have ever seen. They looked like, lobsters. Natur- ally I couldn't resist the tempta- tion. so 'off with my' pants and in I go; pretty cold water, though. Finally ran into a native village. Their houses were made of leaves very similar to the palmetto hicks you have seen in Florida. 'Their clothes (that is. the ones ;hat wore them) are sometimes leaves and sometimes a piece or clhth covering ve-y little of their body. They eat quite a bit of pork and if one chief goes visiting an- otlher he carries a pig under his arm and presents it as a friendly gift. The natives here are all snmal' and undernourished. The Fiji Is- landers are much larger and more intelligent. These are pretty back- ward. I got quite a kick out of some of them I hauled in a truck- once. rTiere are a few families ot French here who operate the coco- nut plantations, but we don't see. ihem much. They bring Tokinese from Indo-China here to do the work. They are quite a race, too. They can squat in one position all day. Beats anything you have ever seen. For every ten men they bring one woman to take care of them. They sure are miserable looking creatures, but are pretty good workers. We live on a large coconut plan- tation, therefore we have plenty to eat. They have, a dove here that's like our mourning dove, but a little larger and. brightly colored. The head is a pretty wine color, the wings are green with a white, spot and the breast and tail brown. There is also a parrot that is very pretty, and all kinds of butterflies. There are. also millions, of lizards and some of them are mean look- ing critters. , One of the islands has an active, volcano on it that gives us shakeup occasionally .A couple o0 (Continued on page 4) PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1945 NUMBER 44 Amemedment To City Charter Is Passed By Voters Provides for Five-Man City Com- mission Holding Office for Two-Year Terms A total of 323 voters turned out Tuesday to cast their .ballots in the city charter amendment elec- tion on the question of whether the board of commissioners should consist of five members or remain as a board of three as at present. By a vote of 216 to 105--better than two to one-tihe amendment was carried (two ballots were thrown out as spoiled) and, as, pro- vided in the bill passed, by the legislature, f i v e commissioners will be, elected at large next Feb- ruary, whose terms of office will be for a period of two years. The bill also provides that "said commissioners shall receive, such compensation as the city commis- sion may fix and designate by or- dinance, but not in excess of $25 per month per commissioner." Acting as po'l keepers at the election were W. W. Barrier. Mrs. TV. D. Dare. Troy Jones and I. C. Nedley. Tlhe matter of no changes, being made in Sections 20 and 136 of the city charter, which were pointed out and discussed in a letter by City Attorney E. Clay Lewis pub- lished at city expense last week in The. Star, has yet, to be settled, and it is believed that in order to keep matters, of the city on an even keel in future an additional charter amendment will have to be passed at the next session of the legislature amending these two sections. Section 20 provides that "the. af- firmative vote of two members (of the commission) shall be neces- sary to adopt any ordinance or resolution." Sectio.n 1.6 provides that "regular municipal elections shall l-. held annually." The new charter amendment states that "five eacloiors shall be elected 'u'd installed an commissioners as provided by See -: l".t" Yet til" five commission rs to be elected will come up for re-elpctibn ever', iwo years,. not annually .

(Continued on Page 2) I* llllllllllllll1lnllIllIllIllllm11111111 Expected Improvements To Chan" nel and Turning Basin Would Save $1,000,000 Annually Due to lack of space last week all data presented at the hearing held here by the war department in regard to improvements in St. Joseph's Bay could not be pub- lished. so this week we print addi- tional facts 'and figures cited' at the hearing. During 1913-14 the U. S. govern- iment and private interests of the city of Port St. Joe provided $40,- 105.99 for a channel 300 feet wide and 24 feet deep across the bar at the entrance to St. Josephs Bay; $20,000 of this sum was supplied by private interests. During 1938, in compliance with a request of the city and interested parties, the war department pro- vided a channel 300 feet wide by 29 feet deep across the bar and a channel 200 feet wide and 27 feeu deep from deep water in the bay to the north end of the municipal pier and a 27 foot deep and ap- proximately six acres in area turn- ing basin at the municipal wharf, making a 'total of $140,313 that the government has spent on the en- trance and inner channels and, the turning basin. The city, during thi-. ,-a-coe time, the year 1938, .i.-nj. ; tf85,000 for work, including the dredging or a channel from deep water to tne south end of 'the 'municipal wharf and for basins and dredging along the water structures of the city, making a total of $205,000 ex- pended by the city and private in- terests on the harbor projects. In a report to the chairman of the committee on rivers and har- bors at Washington in December, 1936, the chief of engineers stated that the district engineer esti- mated that a commerce of 126.700 tois annually was reasonably prospective if all enterprises wero carried out, three quarters of which wiuhld result from the opera- lion of the paper mill. He esti- umated the prospective saving in transportation by water shipment at nearly $120,000 yearly. Figures presented at the hearing last week showed that in 1943 (the latest year available for publica- tion) the total net tonnage of wa- teriborne commerce passing thru this port came to 1,319,910 which, according to the estimate of the district engineer quoted above, resulted in a saving of approxi- mately $1,200,000.

COAST GUARD-1790 1945 One hundred fifty-five years of uninter- rupted, distinguished service to the United States' "ain't hay," as the vernacular saying goes. The U. S. Coast Guard should be justi- fiably proud of its more than a century and a half of service, in peace and war. -The na- tion is proud of the Coast Guard. This small outfit, a wartime force of 170,- 000, but a scant 10.000 in peacetime, is well described by the word versatile. Even its motto "Semper Paratus" (always ready), catches the spirit of the Coast Guard. When the attack on Hawaii hurled us into war, many new jobs had to be undertaken. Expert small boat handlers began landing as-, sault troops on distant beaches. The Coast Guard organized yachtmen with seagoing "know how" to back the all-too-few naval vessels' facing Nazi wolf packs in the waters along our shores; footsore sailors patrolled 40,000 miles of vulnerable coastline, including that in the vicinity of Port St. Joe; light- houses and other aids to navigation were kept in operation ; Coast Guard fliers patrolled sea lanes, snatched hundreds of survivors frorli the ocean. And still these Coast Guard boys in landing craft roar into new beachheads in the orient. Coast Guard transports shuttle U. S. troops from Europe to Asia. Coast Guard sub-busters work with the navy on Jap subs. It is most fitting, in the final exertions of this struggle, to remember the birthday of the little service doing so many big jobs well! MIXUP IN PHOTOS IS ODD COINCIDENCE I' -. i rd, ..r. .. .." ..- ... :. ..- . In oaur issue of June 22 we pub- from Marine Brigadier General listed a picture showing (osten- Robert Blake at an advanced Pa. sibly) Marine Private Hilliard M. cific base. Hammock, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. When we showed the picture to H. M. Hammock of this city, re- Mr. Hammock previous to having deiving the Purple Heart award the cut made, he said that while SOME PEOPLE TAKE THEIR POLITICS TOO SERIOUSLY There's something we've never been able to understand, and that is why most politicians take their politics so seriously. Personally. we don't mix in politics much-they are too dirty. But when we do mix in occasionally and the shouting is all over, win, lose or draxv, we hold no grudge against those whom we might have been opposing. Being of a trust- ing nature, we've always hoped that the other fellow would feel the same way about it. But, alas and alack, such is seldom the case, and we find very few so-called politicians who hold to this view. If they win or lose. from then on we're right up at the top of their list of public enemies. What brought this on is Representative C. C. Wilson's attitude of animosity engendered during the last legislative election when the editor of The Star supported E. Clay Lewis for representative and which was dragged out again during the city charter amendment election Tuesday. After all, as Uncle Charlie himself so often points out, this is a free coun- try, and we told him before and after the election that the columns of The Star were open to him at all times and that we harbored no persoanl grudge against him, even though he did defeat our man. When the dust had settled and the final returns were in we ad- vised the people of Gulf county that "Every- one should co-operae fully with our new rep- resentative in the legislature." Much to our' sorrow we 'find that almost- all politicians take their politics too seriously, but there" isn't a doggoned thing we can do about it. DOG POISONER AT WORK We have been reliably informed that three or four dogs in the city have been poisoned during recent weeks. There is nothing much that anyone can 'do about the matter, as catch- ing red-handed sly, sneaking individuals who do such rotten things is difficult, inasmuch as they do their murderous prowling at night. We cannot understand why anyone would want to treat our canine friends in such' an inhuman way, and all we can suggest is that dog owners would do well to keep their pets close to home for the next few weeks. Why is it that when someone writes a good novel they have to make a movie of it and spoil it ? it did look like his son to a cei- tain extent, still he was a bit doubtful, but to go ahead and run the picture, that maybe illness and tropical fever made H. M. Jr., look that way. Later, Private Hammock, now in the Mare Island' hospital at San Francisco, saw the picture and wrote in stating that it decidedly was not him. A checkup with th'- public information division of. the U. S. Coast Guard, which took the pictures, revealed that there hadl been a mixutp in the photos, and that the first one had been of Ma- rine Private Herbert M. Hammock who had been awarded; the Purple Heart at the same time as Privat Hillard M. Hammock, Jr. So herewith we print the correct picture showing Hillard receiving the Purple Heart at. the hands of Brig. Gen. Blake for the loss of his left leg during action in the Pacific. ,The oddity' about the matter is that bwo young men with almost identical names and, looking some- what similar bolh received Purple Hearts at the same. time in the salne ward.
