St. Joe Wins From

DeFuniak Cagers

Then Lose Placing To Panama
City In Tourney Held
Last Week


By WESLEY RAMSEY
St. Joe high's first opponent at
the district basketball tournament
held' in Panama City Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week
was Walton- high of DeFunlak
Springs. The local boys had beaten
'Walton in a previous game and
fel-t quite confident that they coulct
repeat.
St. Joe started, off with a bang
in the first quarter and- piled up
eight counters to Walton's three.
Fouling by St. Joe 'helped their op-
ponents to a great extent.
During the second quarter the
score was almost doubled, with
St. Joe chalking 'up seven more
points and DeFuniak five' leaving
a score of 1,5-8 at the half. Our
home .team was well on the way
to winning the. game.
In the' third quarter the local
cagasters sunk'ten more points and
sacrificed eight additional points
to Walton. By this, time both
teams were tiring and playing
hard and deliberately.
In the final quarter the finish-
ing touches were applied with St.
Joe making six points and' Walton
six. The final whistle found a
score of 31-22 in favor of St. Joe.
The local team then lost its
placing to Bay high of Panama
City by a score'-of 4riti ro Pan-
ama City then played in the final
game with Marianna and lost.
Reason for the high score with
Bay high was that they switched
from their usual zone defense
method to man-to-man defense. St.
Joe had rarely met up with this
type of defense and so were un-
prepiared.

Again We Apologize

Seems as though we're always
offering apologies to our readers
.for this and that, and this week
we apologize for omitting a num-
ber of stories (most of which
are good for next week), and
cutting down quite a few items
turned in to us. We just didn't
have time to get out additional
pages, what with the help situa-
tion the way it is.
In addition, we want to a-polo-
gize to B. W. Eells for cutting
his' Firestone ad down to three
columns from a full page, and to
Otto Anderson for squeezing his
St. Joe Motor Company ad into
a much smaller space than he
anticipated receiving. We just
didn't have the room and it
might be that this note of apol-
ogy will get squeezed out be-
fore we go to press.

QUICKER SERVICE HERE
ON WEATHER FORECASTS

Horace Soule, local display man
for the weather bureau, informs us
that weather adivisorys in future
will come from Apalachicola in-
stead of by wire from Pensacola.
He states this will be. a consider-
able improvement over service in
the past, saving about two hours,
and will be especially valuable lo-
cally during the hurricane period.

Our Country Right or Wrong

REPERCUSSIONS COMING UP
We here in Port St. Joe haven't yet begun
to feel the effects of the present price-wage
turmoil, and we probably won't feel it as.
strongly as the larger centers of population,
but next spring when the farmers lose their
food subsidies we probably will begin to no-
tice it.
With wages being boosted inr the big city
industries, labor will be enticed away from the
farms. The farmer will then be forced to
raise farm wages in order to compete with.
the cities. Naturally'this increases his cost of
production and he is forced to increase prices
or go out of business.
Right now the farmer can't boost his pric-.s
because of OPA ceilings, so the government
gives him a subsidy. When this subsidy is
stopped next June the farmer will have to
increase prices in order to live. When the
price of food goes up, labor will start demand-
ing further wage increases, based upon the
cost of living.
Maybe labor doesn't realize it, but every-


body is paying for the farm subsidies in the
form .of taxes, and if they're wise they will
not ask for a wage increase when the farm
subsidies are lifted, as the increase in the price
of foodstuffs with the lifting of the subsidies
will be reflected in decreased withholding
taxes that should more than offset the inevit-
able food price increase. But then we don't
think labor will see it this way, for right now
it apparently is holding the whip.
So, as, the head on this editorial states, re-
percussions are in the offing in the form of
. a vicious circle that can lead nowhere but to
inflation and an eventual depression that will
be of super-duper proportions.
All that the editor of The Star can recom-
mend at this time is that you take these easy
dollars you are making today and invest them
in United States Sa'iings Bonds and hold on
to them for dear life, for when this depres-
sion hits-and it will from all present indica-
tions-today's easy dollars will be worth at
least twice what they are today.

WHO GETS THE BIRD?
Senator Johnson of Colorado, who is fre-
quently less than profound in his utterances
on military problems, is afraid that there is
going to be too many colonels and not enough
"bright second lieutenants" under a bill just
passed by congress increasing the number of
commissioned officers in the regular army
from 16,000 to 25,000.
It is pleasant to note that second lieuten-
ants have at least this one champion, but it
doesn't appear that the 1,054 colonels author-
ized under the new act will be an excessive
proportion of the total or an excessive num-
ber for a regular army of the size contem-
plated for the immediate future.
The danger is not that the peacetime army
might have too many colonels but that it
might have too many colonels who should be
second lieutenants.--Milwaukee Journal.

Ye Ed and frau left Thursday ot
last week to take in the state fair
at Tampa, strong in the belief
'that the Lord would provide an(o
that accommodations would be
forthcoming 'when we arrived.
We started looking for an over-
night resting place at Brooksville
and continued to look until about
25 miles out of Tampa-1 o'clock
n the morning. So we just pulled
off into a side road, drove into the
piney woods a short distance-and
slept in the car.
Going on into Tampa about 7:30
we had breakfast (after perform-
ing our morning abolutions with
the water contained, in a pint-size
thermos bottle) and immediately
dtrov.e, to the Wynn .Tourist Cot-
tages on Hillsborough Avenue, a
place we had' stopped at last Sep-
tembe:', in the hopes that theys
might put us up, even if it was on
the floor of their own home. Well,
we were extremely lucky, for Mr.
and Mrs. Wynn remembered us
from our previous stay, and, said
they might have a cabin about 10
o'clock, if we would return then.
So we drove over toward St.
Petersburg to kill time, and re-
turned shortly after 10. AndI what
do you think! Yep, they had. a
brand new cabin for us, complete
with innerspring mattress. B-oy, oh
boy, did, that bed feel good, even
if it was 10 in the a. m.! And if
you don't think so, just.try sleep-
Ing on a car seat for six hours (and
you know how big both of us are).


the jam without losing any fenders
and reached the fair grounds, im-
mediately looking up Russell Kay,
fair secretary, who presented us
with 'passes' to everything andt
seats in the. press box at the
grandstand, where we had an un-
obstructed view of the auto races
and other entertainment features.
And was there a crowd at that
fair! All previous attendance re-
cord-s were, broken Friday and Sat-
urday and the "take" on the carni-
val midway Friday exceeded! ,$30,-
000, breaking a previous national
record) for one day of $28,000.
The fair itself was not quite up
to the standard' set in previous
years, 'but considering the short
time available, in which to prepare
for it, it more than exceeded our
expectatioLS
Outside of Russell Kay, we saw
no one we knew, though on thl'
return trip we passed and, w-r'e
passed on the highway by cars
from Calhoun, -Franklin and Bay
counties, but naryy a "66" tag did
we spy. Charlie Mahon, Jr., avers
that he saw us at the fair and
yelped at us, but we didn't hear
him and he couldn't get through
the crowd to contact us.
If you enjoy crowds, 'by all means
go to Tampa this Friday and Sat-
urday and visit the fair, but if you
dislike being squeezed, jammed,
shoved and poked in the ribs, you'C
better stay home. Coming from the
grandstand Saturday afternoon af-
ter the auto races it took us a halt
hour to travel less than 200 feet.
. We understand Mr. and
Mrs. A. D. Lawson intend to visit
the fair today and tomorrow. Well,
we wish 'em good luck and are rel-
ferring them to Mr. and' Mrs. Wynn
for a place to stay, for we believe
that kindly couple will put them
up if at all possible.

Your cc.t of domestic cLcLc
service continues its downward
trend in direct reverse to other
cost-of-living items. With new
labor saving electrical appliances
coming on the market, Florida
homemakers have another oppor-
tunity for better living electrically
. . at new lower rates.


In DocenD.ub i''s4 we promiseJ
you another rate reduction within
18 months. We are happy to beat
that promise by five months des-
pite uncertain conditions and the
rising cost of living.

During the past ten years this.
company has reduced rates so
that our customers have received
accrued savings of more than
THREE MILLION DOLLARS.

It is the basic policy of this
company to give you the very best
electric service at the lowest rates
possible at all times. This rate
reduction, like the others, has
been made possible by operating
efficiencies, savings made by our
refinancing program and an in-
creased demand for our services


$1,.00 for first 14 kilowatt-
hours or less; 5V per KWH for
next 36 KWH; 34 per KWH for
next 150 KWH; 1 1/2 per KWH
for excess over 200 KWH.
If you have an electric water
heater or contemplate install-
ing one and your service is now
measured through one meter,
ask us about special optional
(off-peak) water heating rate.


by an ever-growing number of
customers in the territory served
by the company.

It is our desire to continue to
reduce electric rates whenever "-'
possible, consistent with. sound '
business practice and we pledge
now that this is not the last time
you will have such good news.


This rate reduction, which
amounts to a $360,000 saving
(based on present volume of busi-
ness) is ample proof that we have
faith in the future growth and
development of this territory.

In Wakulla county, as we all
know here in Port St. Joe, is Pan:
acea, a cure-all under the Florida
sun for any winter ill.
St. Joes and Josephs In 13 States
In the entire United States there
is only one Port St. Joe, but there
are a number of Saint Joes and St.
Josephs. For instance there are
towns by the name of Saint Joseph
in Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michiigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Missouri
and New York; there are St. Joes
in Arkansas and Indiana, and a
Saint Jo in Texas, but as we stated
above, there is the one and only
Port. St. Joe.
Incidentally, Postmaster Drake
points out that a lot of mail out
of Jacksonville comes he-re due to
the fact that it is addressed to
"Post Street, Jacksonville," and
that another heap of mall con-
signed here goes to Jax because
postal clerks see- "Pert. St Joe" on
the envelope and without taking a
second glance consign it to Jack-
sonville. He believes this could be
remedied if everyone would spell
it out-"Port Saint/Joe."
There is a Madison in Florida,
just as in 25 other states. There. Is
a Newport in Florida and in 22
others, Fairfield in Florida and In
20 other states, Glenwood in Flor-
ida and in 19 others, and a Dover
In Florida and in 18 other states.
There are two Tampas in the Tf:
S.-one in Florida and one in
Kansas.
All Presidents Represented
The "Smiths" and' "Joneses" of
city names are Marion, Clinton
and' Franklin there are towns
bearing, those names in 28 states.
There is a Washington in 27 states,
Lincoln in 23, Jackson in 19, Jet-,
ferson in 12, and Roosevelt in .9.
There is not a single presidential
name not represented at least
once somewhere'in the nation, In-
cluding the incumbent, Truman.
r There are 14 towns named Hope,
two Loves, two Faiths, and even a
Charity, Mo. There are 11 Free-
*doms and 17 Libertys, and besides
the president's home in Misoouri
there are 15 towns called Indepen-
,dence.
There is a Heavener, Okla.; a
Hellier, Ky. There is a War, W.
Va., and a Peace Valley, Mo.
And in the state of Ohio (we
call the belated attention of the
Wehrmacht to this) it is only 150
.miles from Berlin to Moscow!

The annual clash between sharks
occurred Tuesday night at Centen-
nial Auditorium when the Ap-

their traditional games, with both
boys and girls from St. Joe emerg-
ing victorious.
SThe. St. Joe girls hld the Ap-

quarter 13 to 0. In the second quar-
ter the Oyster City fillies scored
six points, leaving the tally at the
half 13-6. But in the last half the
St. Joe Sharkettes, by hard play-
ing and, deliberate thinking, mark-
ed up another 12 counters while
their opponents made 10, leaving
the final score 25-16.
In the boys' game Apalachicola
started off immediately with a
field goal. St. Joe was ready for
this opponent who had beaten them.
earlier in the season, and, soon the
score was tied 5-5. This, however,
was not sufficient for the local
quintette, and they were satisfied
only when they had succeeded in

rave of Bomber Crew

Found At Kyushu, Japan

Poor, Japanese farmers and their
children have placed fresh flowers
daily for the past 16 months on
the grave of Americans who died
in the first B-29 to crash in
Japan.
The practice was started by
Monza Aso, an elderly villager who
had lived in California for 44 years,
on June 19, 1944, 'three days, after
the super-fort crashed, and the
day the ashes of rthe crew mem-
bers were interred.
A Newsweek Magazine" war cor-
respondent also is believed to be
buried, in the common grave.
Aso and his wife placed a tiny
flower on the grave each day as
they passed it, efiroute to work
in. their rice paddies. At first they
told a Marine Corps photographic
party, other villagers resented
their display of respect for the
Americans. 'Later, however, they
and their children also adopted the
practice..
More than a dozen flowers re-
posed, in two simple bottles, ai-
most hidden in weeds that have
grown over 'the grave, on the- day
it was visited.

a Tampa Times we bought while

by our good 'friend and prolific
writer of letters to the editor
Steve McPhaul:
ON TRUMAN ECONOMICS
Mr. Truman is going to author-
ize an upward revision in the'na-
tion's present 'hold the line prices'
ind then direct that the stabiliza-
tion level be held for one year
while rising production overcomes'
inflationary' danger. 'He is going tu
ring on an increase of the infla-
tion that is already here and then
.here'will be no danger of inflation.
We wonder where Mr. Trumani
;ot his training in finance and eco-
nomics? We all know that the prin-
:ipal cause of high prices was the
iigh leyel of wai'-thne union wages.
Now instead o' pulling togelhet
,o bring the country back to pro-
luction and then seek better, wages
che big industrial unions are striii.
ing f'or more wages, when they are r
already getting more than any
other o.: the 55,000.000 workers.
This is goins to cause worse
than inflation and can only end In
the worst depression ever known.
