Hardy Crew Will Sail
Yacht Here From Jax

"Oh, a sailing we will go, A sail-
ing we will go," was the song on
the lips of a. hardy crew of mari-
ners who left here by truck Tues-
day night for Jacksonville to bring
back, via the inland waterway, a
small yacht recently purchased by
C. G. Costin.
All members of the crew were
picked for their specialized, tasks.
Capt. Robert Tapper will be the
skipper; Cecil Costin, first mat@;,
B. A. Pridgeon, chief engineer; C.
A. McClellan, chief .cook and' bottle
washer; B. A. Prid-geon Jr., mess
boy; Ohauncey Costin and Cecil
Costin Jr., deck hands.
Unless these doughty sailors get
lost on the way, they expect to
circumnavigate the statee of Flor-
ida in about ten days. So every-
one is urged to be on watch about
Saturday week 'to be the first to
shout "Sail1 ho!" as the vessel en-
ters St. Joseph Bay.

Governor Urges

Completion of

War Fund Drive

Gulf County Chairman Asks. That
All Pledges, and Contributions
Be Turned In Quickly

iChairman. Harry McKnight, who.
heads the War Fund Drive in Gulf
county, Monday received a tele-
gram from Governor Millard Cald-
well, state chairman of the Na-
tional War Fund,, urging that t-he
drive here be brought to a conc'u-
sion as quickly as possible. The
governor's telegram follows:
"Needi for successful' conclu-
sion of your National War Fund
campaign made more urgent in
reccent request from General
MacArthur for 80 additional USO
campp show units to be sent into
Pacific to entertain troops in oc-
cupation of Japan and elsewhere.
Also need for USO services ad-
jacent to some 500 veterans' ho>-
pitals. Sincerely hope you and
committee will bring Gulf county--,
campaign to 'total victory at
earliest possible date."
Chairman McKniight states that
the Gulf county War Fund drive is
barely past 'the half-way mark, lbut
he believes our quota can be at-
tained if every worker contacts& all
citizens in their areas and if po-
tential givers make their contribu-
tions and fulfilll their pledges.
"The majority of our citizens al-
ready have made their gifts," he
said, "but the,,,e rre :o ... ir_;,., mnor
who have not."


St. Joe Sharks Lose To

Bainbridge 31 To 13

The St. Joe Sharks went down
to defeat before Bainbridge last
Friday by a 31-1-3 score in a fast
and rough grid game.
The local team received the
kickoff and carried the ball back
30 yard's before being stopped.
Bainbridge then took the pigskin
and shoved it over for the first
touchdown, but failed to convert.
Jack "Moose" R.icketson chalked.
up the first score for St. Joe with
a beautiful 70-yard run. Chuck
Gibson applied his specialty of
pass receiving for the second
touchdown andi converted for ex-
tra point.
The team played an excellent
game of ball despite the fact that
a number of veterans were forced
out by injuries during the early
stages of the tilt.
The Sharks play at Apalachi-
cola today in their second meeting
with Chapman high this season.

Our Country Right or Wrong
r~ '
RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
As a country turns toward socialistic prac-
tices, the ultimate goal is always the sociliza-
tion of land. We saw this in Russia, and now
in staid old England, which in its last elec-
tion voted definitely for socialization of bank-
ing, mining and railroads, it is rumored that
plans are underway for a beginning in the
dividing up of land.
Here in the United States, while we have
felt secure in the private ownership of prop-
erty, we have fostered gigantic plans for the
federal socialization of electric power and
many other activities. There is now "politi-
cal" pressure for federal housing, federal fi-
nancing of every kind, federal medical atten-
tion, and even federal feeding of many per-
sons. All this will supplant private enterprise
and state and local governmental authority in
looking after the needs of local citizens.
Now comes the inevitable-suggestions for
government ownership of land in the United
States. Of course it is just a small cloud on


the horizon at present, but so was govern-
ment in other lines of business a few short
years ago. With so many other nations defi-
nitely committed to socialization, and with
strong political pressure in our own country
along those lines, landowners who have
smugly sponsored socialization of other ac-
tivities, can well begin to consider to what
extent they will be permitted to enjoy the
private ownership of land in the years ahead.
When a nation starts socializing its natural
resources, land is the kingpin of them all. So
don't be overcomplacent with your belief that
it can't happen here-it is happening here,
right under your nose, and coming closer to
your own hearthstone every day.

The $5 federal auto use-tax has been abol-
ished effective July 1946. We paid it for use
of our cars when we couldn't use them be-
cause of gasoline and tire shortages ; now that
we can get plenty of gas and an occasional
tire to again use our cars, the use-tax is
repealed. Looks like it wans't so much a use-
tax as it was a tax on not being able to use
the taxed article.

A Boston physician says cabbage is good
for the stomach and aids tired nerves. He
didn't mention taking it into the system by
way of these cigars we're getting nowadays.

It won't be long now before people in droves
will be buying new automobiles and taking
their creditors for a ride.-Bridgeport Post.

We thought we were doing real
well to down six dozen oysters on
the half shell occasionally, but we
understand Austin Huggins puts
us in the shade--he devoured 13
dozen recently at one :sitting, and
then went home and ate a hearty

VETERANS' LAND LAW
CALLED 'IDLE GESTURE'
Commissioner of Agriculture Na-
than Mayo said Tuesday that the
1945 legislative act granting 40-
acre homesteads to Florida veter-
ans was "simply an idle gesture"
because they wouldn't have the
available land' allowed by the act.
The law provides that any vet-
eran of World War II may apply
for and, receive a 40-acre home-
stead' on wild and vacant state land
but it must be arable and he must
live. on it and' improve it for three
years from 90 days after he gets it.
"We haven't got 40 acres in th'
state of Florida they'd have," said
Mayo.

STATE WILL ASK FOR
BIDS ON OIL RIGHTS
The state cabinet agreed this

on leasing of oil rights on state
lands.
The board of education, upon ap-
plication of the Humble Oil Com-

in accordance with a 1945 act for
a lease of its oil rights on 2,860
acres of land that is being used

The Low Down
from
Willis Swamp


Editor The Star:
Fer 'folks who don't never git a
pat on the back-or almost never
-but who deserve same, you'll
look high and now to find enn.-
buddy more entitled' to it than the
boys who patrol our highways .
These here highway guardeens are
your friend versus somebuddy to
dodge-'essen you bion up to some-
thin'. You don't git picked up jest
fer the 'personal amusement of the
patrolman. It'd be a heap more
pleasant fer him ifen he did'it
have to wave you over to the road-
side. He gits no commission per
arrest-it jest makes him more
work, more reports.
I know one o' these guys he
looks after traffic up and 'down
our highways here in Gulf county
('course he don't git down here in
the Swamp lessen he's goin' fish-
in')-he's a regular gentleman--but
also he ain't no sissy. A burglar
or a car thief, or any kind: o' gun-
shootin'. thug it's all the same
and' in the day's work, and he
wades in. 4Or he kin take it easy,
like when mama puts out her arm
to turn right, and then turns 'eft.
Instead of fewer, we need, more
patrolmen. Day 'by day it's gittin'
more unsafe to venture, out in your
car, 'specially since gasoline is
offen the ration list. I'd like to see
everybuddy take time out and git
acquainted' with the highway boys
-you'll be glad you did so. And
ifen Patrolman W. D. Lee should
run across this here piece, he'll
know what I think of him and his
buddies.
Yours with the low down,

"BEST JOB IN THE WORLD"
These special privileges are typical
'of the new law recently passed by
Congress. Few opportunities for a
lifetime career offer as many attrac-
tive advantages.
Can you think of any other job
that would give you good pay, your
food, clothing, quarters, free med-
ical and dental care, world-wide
travel, 30 days'furlough every year,
education and training in any of
nearly 200 skills or trades, and
enable you to retire v-ith a lUfe in-
come anytime after 20year.s'service?
There isn't any! That's why a
job in the Regular Army has been
called "The Best Job in the World."

Victory March Toward SeciuntyA
Arerica's largest army is its Army of War Bondholders-85 million
strong. From our farms and factories, from our cities and towns, from,
our armed forces they come, again and again, to invest in America.


This great savings crusade, born of war, is one of our great
hopes for peacetime prosperity.
And marching within the ranks of these 85 million bond.
buyers are the Americans who also maintain more than 75
million bank accounts.




A great arsenal for peacetime prosperity-bank
savings, War Bonds, Victory Bonds! T
Together, wisely managed, they can help forge thow
weapons of peace:-jobs, industry, fair prices, stability,
family security.





Keep on marching toward security! Today,
while goods are still scarce and the threat of rising
prices continues, plan to spend wisely. Plan to
save regularly. Save, by buying more of your coun-
try's Bonds and holding them. Save, by build-
ing up your bank account. You and your family
will reap the harvest of your sacrifice and thrift.

The Sharks lost to Bainbridge
last Friday by a 31-13 score. Front
all reports and indications the
Bainbridge boys played plenty'
rough. Some of the. St. Joe lads
look as though they had, been
slated for a coup de. grace. Today
the Sharks play Chapman high ar.
Apalachicola, and this will prob-
ably be a fast game, as Chapman
defeate-d St. Joe in their first tilU.
Some excitement was provided
last week by a wildcat that de-
cidied to crawl under the building
and die. For a couple of days it
smelled like an army of skunks
until the source was discovered.
It was found directly under the
senior home' room, and some catty
junior made 'the remark that
'bird's of a feather flock together."
Miss Katherine Nix is taking a
short vacation from the daily rou-
tine of pounding our skulls and
other places and has gone home
'to see her brother who has just
ract'ind from the wars.
The rope on the flagpole had to
be replaced twice during the week
of Hallowe'en after vandals cut it
into small pieces. We needed a
new rope, anyway, and Prof Big-
gart just couldn't remember to get
one. The school thanks those who
cut the old one down and provided
14r. Biggart with a reminder.
Mrs. E. Clay Lewis Jr., is in our
rowdy midst substituting for Miss
Nix.


Speaking of juniors, one of them
conjugated the verb "freeze" as
freeze, froze, frizen, while another
conjugated "dive" as dive. dove.
diven. Even a frosh knows that It
is dive, div, dove.

ACL OFFICIAL OPPOSES
TAKING OVER OF FEC LINE
BY DuPONT INTERESTS
At a hearing held in Washing-
ton Tuesday the interstate com-
merce commission was, asked to
authorize unification of the Florida
East Coast' Railway and the Atlan-
tic Coast Line Railroad.
Frank D. Lemmon, ACL vice-
president and secretary, in testi-
fying, said that unification of the
two carriers will be 'in the public'
interest and that the reorganiza-
tion 1plan already approved'by the
commission would place control or
the Florida East Coast in the St.
Joe Paper Company, which he said
was controlled. by the Alfred I.
duPont estate. He averred that
such control would not be in the
public interest.
Senator Claude Pepper is using
his senatorial position to intercede
on behalf of the ACL, but being
in Europe at the present time on a
tour at the expense of the taxpay-
e.rs, he was not present at the
hearing Tuesday, but expects to
be on hand for the final hearing
to be held shortly in West Palm
Beach..
