THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME IX PORT ST, JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1946 NUMBER 20 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. -- -)( _____ Kenney Qualifies For Re-Election To Board Basil E. Kenney, Jr., this week qualified with Clerk J. R. Hunter as a' candidate' for re-election to the board of county commissioners from the Fourth District. His an-: nouncement appears on page three, of this issue of The Star.

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.

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. --With housing matters settled, we STARDUST and hied ourselveS ovei to the fair, and STARDUST an were the downtown streets of the city jammed-!

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.

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. Mrs. Darcey III Mrs. J. J.

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.

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! i A VALUABLE A DOCUMENT Your doctor's prescription is a valuable document. More than a piece of paper bearing queer words and odd characters, it represents his years of training, expe- rience and skill applied directly to your individual case.

SThe. St. Joe girls hld the Ap- alachicolans at the end' of the first 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 shooting the score to 22 at the final whistle. They left Apalachi- cola trailing with 18.

Inscription reads: "Grav'.e of fliers of the United Star-s plane shot down." 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. Send The Star to a friend.
