Members of the Dead Lakes
Sportsmen's Association meeting
at the court house in Wewahitchka
Thursday night of. last week,
recommended unanimously, after
considerable discussion pro and
Icon, that, beginning next year,
fresh water fishing be prohibited
during April and May in the coun-
Ities of Gulf, Calhoun, Bay, Frank-

pass the recommendation on to
the tresh water fish and. game
commission.
D. B. Hayes of Bloun'tstown
headed the comiuhittee presenting
the closed season recommendation,
other members, being Judge J. E.
Pridigeon of Wewahitchka, J. C.
Cogburh of Panamaa City, Grady
Larkin of Bristol, and, William F.

,C. A. Morgan of Wewahitchka
was re-elected as president of. the
association, and Floyd Lister, sec-

also re-elected.

counties named at the meeting are:
Gulf, Basil E. Kenney; Bay, Tomt

After his re-elec ion, President
Morgan stated that he felt the as-
sociation had accomplished con-
siderable since its' inception a year
ago, and, that considerably more
can be. accomplished-more con-
servation, better pay -for conserva-
tion agents, and an educational
program.
W. C. Sherman of Panama City
congratulated, the members on
overcoming differences to get to-

tubs full of fish from the. Dead

Triplets Born Here To

Receive Free Milk

Those three baby girls, Linda
Lou, Laura Lee and Lenora Sue
Williams, born at the Port St.
Joe municipal hospital March 15
to Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Williams
of Fort White, Fla., will receive
free of cost from the Pet MilIK
Company, all the milk they need
as long as they require it. i
This information came from
Dr. A. L. Ward, who delivered
the triplets. He is attending a
convention of doctors in New,
Orleans this week and stated
that he mentioned the fact that
he had brought the three young
ladies into the world and a rep-
resentative of the Pet company,
Frank Swans.on, overheard the
remark. Mr. Swanson immedl-.
ately asked for the name and ad-
dress of the parents, informing
Dr. Ward that his company
would provide the free milk.
"It looks as. though members
of the family will have to do
without some foods in order to
keep those triplets fat and sassy,
'so the Pet company will take
over the job of feeding them,"
remarked Swanson.

Port St. Joe, president; Col. Hicky,
Apalachicola, vice-president;. Dave
Gaskin, Wewahitchka, treasurer;
Floyd Hunt, Port St. Joe, secre-

A league constitution and by-

be released in a few days. Present
plans are for two games a week.
Bus-ter Owens has been named

The local team is fortunate in hav-

Kenney is directing the drive in
this county, which began Monday.
Florida's goal in -the campaign is
$132,720, and the national goal is
$12,000,000. The campaign is .an
annual affair sponsored by the
American Cancer Society.
The records reveal that cancer
alone accounted for the deaths or
2000 men, women and children in
Florida last year, a number of
them in Gulf county. Many of these
deaths might -have been avoided

toms been recognized and' ade..

A nationwide battle lis planned
to stop this needless waste of life
as quickly. as possible and to aid
in finding the cause ard cure for

for the purpose of obtaining the
necessary money.
While a numilber of' volunteer

per Company and affiliated com-
panies. .He was outstanding in lo-
cal civic affairs and was a mem-
ber of the American Legion, Ro-

St. Joe.
All parents, are urged to -bring i

FAIL TO INCORPORATE
We have been informed that due
to the fact that only a handful of
qualified electors turned out for
the incorporation election Satur-
day night at Highland View that
no election was held; and the mat-
ter of incorporating the commun-
ity dropped.


Below Quota Set

Chairman States Procrastinatiofl
Apparently Is Cause For Let-
Down From Last Year

Gulf county's' Red Cross War
Fund Drive is dragging pitilully,
according to C. G. Costin, county
chairman, and, he states, procras-
tination apparently is the cause
for the drop from over $9000 last
year to a little over $2500 to date-
this year.
There remains but $1800 more
to complete Gulf county's quota of
$4300, andt if those who have vol!
unteeredi to canvass certain por-
tions of Wewahitchka, Port' St.
Joe and other parts of the county
would make up : their minds to
complete their job and turn, in
what has theen collected, it is be.
lived 'by Chairman Costin that
this goal can be reached, Thes iti-
ation as it stand's now is not at all
complimentary to the county. \
It is. pointed out by Thos. R. L.
Carter, executive secretary of the
county chapter, that there have
been conflicting reports from ex-
servicemen as to what Red Cross
did abroad and in the camps, and
unfortunately, he says, those, who
wanted; an excuse not to contribute
have repeated only those reports
which belittled' Red Cross efforts,
"An effort was made to involve
disputes, between capital and labor
in this campaign," said Mr. Carter.
"But investigationu shows that the
heaviest contributions came'I-rom
the so-called 'interests,' and some
of the hardest workers are union
members.
"Gult county citizens have al-
ways borne the reputation of be-
ing fair in their decisions and lib-
eral in their contributions. 1
there is any doubt as to whether
contributions are needled, will not
the doubter consider for a moment
the different ,benefits that are held
out to the returning servicemen,
and consider the length of time
and the attention to details, neces-_
sary to obtain such benefits as
pensions, vocational rehabilitation

Ow Country Right or Wrong

LAY YOUR COURSE, AMERICA!
Like spring thunderheads the evidence
towers blackly, formidably, over the country,
plainly spelling out a fact that can no longer
be ignored: Inflation cannot be controlled by
decree. The issue of whether to sacrifice a
continually larger measure of representative
government in the hope of putting the lid on
inflation, is rapidly becoming academic. We
have both inflation and dangerously auto-
cratic government. The only real question is
how to get rid of the frustrated decree sys-
tem before it becomes a "way of life."
Total war brought about unavoidable- pub-
lic debt increases. This debt is beginning to
bear down upon the home front in. rising,
prices and depreciating money, with all of the
accompanying evils. The people should begin
to think clearly on these problems-their
freedom hangs in the balance. As disillusion-
ment spreads, they will have a tendency to
look for somebody t6 blame. The danger is
that they will blame our form. of .government
itself, because so many irresponsible public
officials have been making foolish promis~..
It is a short step from blaming government
to changing government, and if we change
our government in this country it can be
changed in but one direction-away from "by
the people and for the people." Unless the
American people think clearly during this
critical period they may -let inflation sowV
seeds of bitterness that will sweep away the
great American experiment in human 'free-
dom which has given this nation so rich a' life
for over a century and a half.
We should realize now as never before that
America had a war to win. Wars are won by
"blood and treasure." We gave our blood and
we are now giving our 'treasure-it is being
exacted from us through inflation.
Inasmuch as modern wars are total wars,
the material price may prove to be high. And
yet we have no reason to kick, rjuch less ex-
pect our government to float the nation pain-
lessly over the abyss. In the days ahead we
must weigh our values carefully. We must
draw a mental line. On one side we must put
our mo:u-y, our material possessions; on the
other wc must put the things of the spirit,
our form of government, the sanctity of the
invididual, principles for which this country
stand', and for which human beings have
struggled through the centuries to attain.
This -piritual side of the "ledger" must be
held inviolate. It is our capital, inherited from
the ages. It is our only means of building a
new and better world.

It has been suggested that a commemora-
tive postage stamp be issued by the postot-
fice department on June-23 honoring Irvin S.
Cobb, which date would have been his 70th
birthday. Considering Cobb's avoirdupois,
such a stamp would probably be the largest
ever issued by the United States.

The only foreign sovereign ever portrayed
on a U. S. coin was Queen Isabella of Spain-
her bust once appeared on a dime. Lana
Turner would need a silver dollar.


WHAT THE READER BUYS
Why does a family spend a little less than
four cents a week to get a subscription to
The Star? ,
Four cents a week means just a little more
than half a cent a day. It's a small amount.
The average child wastes more than that
every day.
A special sale, advertising a 30-cent item
for 23 cents, will save seven cents, paying the
cost of The Star for one week and giving a
profit of three cents. Or take that paint spe-
cial B. W. Eells advertised at his Firestone
Store a couple of weeks ago, offering a 29-
cent can of enamel for nine cents-there was
a saving of 20 cents, paying for your Star for
an entire month.
You pay more than three cents a day to
rent a book from the lending library. The
Star costs a half cent a day-and did you ever
see anybody reading a book who didn't lay it
aside promptly when The Star came?
Every member of the family, from nine
years of age up-children, parents, grandpar-
ents-find something of interest in The Star.
That can't be truthfully said about any book
or any. other periodical.
It costs more per week for any of the fol-
lowing than it does for The Star: Four cig-
arets, two ounces of beer, one package of gum,
a bar of candy, one cigar, a cup of coffee.
When you've finished reading your Star,
every other member of the household can
still use it. You can't say that about gum,
candy or tobacco.

FIGHTING" INFLATION
Someone once asked Calvin Coolidge whe-
ther he had any opinions on the subject of
sin. "I'm agin' it," 'he said.
Today, on the subject of inflation, it is safe
to say that everybody in Port St. Joe feels
pretty much the same way. They're aginn" it.
But being against anything isn't necessar-
ily the best way to do anything about it. And
talking about what ought to be done isn't
necessarily going to get that necessary some-
thing done.
Actually, the best place to ,start fighting in-
flation is right at home here in Port St. Joe,
in our daily life.
There are certain things that every citizen
must. do if we are to avoid the evil of sky-
rocketing prices and' dropping dollar values.

"CAN THE LEOPARD "?
There's no limit, apparently, to which a
Nazi will not go to escape the penalty of his
wrong-doing.
Apropos of this we cite a dispatch from
London this week which tells of a traveler
newly back in England from Germany with
a tale that some Germans are now actually
trying to prove that they do have Jewish
blood.
Reason: Germans who can prove this be-
come eligible foi- the extra food privileges
granted by the Allies to victims of Nazi perse-
cution. In this connection high prices were
reported offered for bogus documents which
would represent the owner's grandmother
was Jewish.
That spinning noise you hear may be a
ce-tain Adolph Hitler turning over in his
grave.-Miami Post.

Japs will go to any extreme to avoid using
the number 4, which they consider unlucky.
And it looks like they have something there,
for the 4 in the 48 states was certainly un-
lucky for them!

We never could understand' just what in-
flation means, but when we see a pair of $4
shoes in a display window bearing a price tag
of $12.85 we understand what that means.-

Confident of his rights under federal rent

We have had a report that the
baseball team is rapidly coming
into being. The first game is to be
played at Wewahitchka April 10.
The high school band went to
Apalachicola last Friday in a re-
turn engagement of the concert
that was played here. The, Ap-
alachicolans treated us royally.
The festivities started oft with the
three bands, Apalachicola, Carra-
belle and Port St. Joe, marching
through the business, section of the
Oyster City. After this, two hours
were spent in practicing the num-
bers to be played. The bands were
then treated to a chicken supper In
the school lunch room. All in all
we hadi a grand time.
The seniors took the ..annual
state achievement test (commonly
referred to as the "moron test")
TMonday. It was an all-day job and
included tests on mathematics,
English, social studies and psy-
cholgy. Purpose of these tests is
to rank the various schools and
find eut how they are getting the
subjects, across. All we have spok-
en to have agreed that they were
easier than the -tests we usually
take, so we should' expect a fair
average.
Sc hool let out from Wednesday
to Monday for the spring fidiays.
Reason for this holiday was the
state teachers' meeting at Tampa.
AIL the teachers, left Wednesday
morning for Tampa. The meeting
opened Thursday evening and' will
continue until Saturday.
This week marks the end of the
fifth six weeks' -period. School .ill
be out in another six weeks, and
all over town will be heard the
cries: "Johnny, get down out of
that tree!" "Sammy, come home."
"Hustis, turn loose of that cat's
: 11! "No, Bobby, you can't go
s. imming." "Elbert, get out oL
that dirt and put your shoes back
on!" In other word's, it'll be the
"Good 01' Summer Time." '
Speaking of summer, you should
see the cases of spring fever at
school. Howardi Kelly, who usually
iust sits,' now lies.. J. D. Shealy
has a cord 'tied' to his books ana
the other end tied, to a dog's tail
to keep from carrying them. Chuck
Gibson is insisting on playing sec-
on.d base on the baseball team so
he won't have to run so much.,
Robert Hefry Trawick not only
leans back in his chair all 'the
time now, he occasionally lets out
with a healthy snore. Donald Lin-
ton hasn't shaved in two weks
because it's "4oo much trouble."
Miss Elkins just comes to


class, gives the pupils some sen-
tences to do, and just lays her
head down and goes to sleep.. We
noted in the office the other day
that Mr. Biggart had a forked
stick to prop up his cigar.
If you think this is 'bad, just take
note of this: the girls practically

Red Cross office half an inch thick
with letters, affidavits, etc., neces-
sary to prove this or that point

what is coming to them.
"The public's attention is dallea
to the necessity of giving emer-
gency aid to the wives, children
and other relatives of those re-
maining in service and those who
have been discharged. Red Cross
right here in Gulf county 'has
loaned, and granted thousands ot
dollars for emergency operations.
WArithowit this aid the only recourse
would have been for the man In
service to have written home and
asked someone 'to start a petition
and try to raise money so that his
wife or mother, or child might re-
ceive surgical treatment or hos-
pitalization.
"Red Cross does too much to let
it diie,," concluded Mr. Carter. "It
a self-appointed committee of men
and women would) organize and
back with their efforts a $25 club,
a $10 club or a $2 club, this deficit
could hbe made up at once. It is
up to Gulf county to decide."
Readers of The Star are urged
to consider closely the statements
of Mr. Costin and Mr. Carter and
do something about this situation,
for Gulf county must not fall down
at the very end of the emergency
and, tarnish a record that is some-
thing to be proud of.

The CIO Has Marked Your

Congressman, BOB SIKES,

For Defeat

WHAT ,DOES CIO STAND FOR?
WAR STRIKES! When your boys were fighting in the
foxholes and begging for weapons of war the CIO was
striking.

RECONVERSION STRIKES. Now the war is over and
you need goods and equipment for your home and farm
and business. CIO strikes have kept you from getting
the things you need.

It stands for PAC, FEPC (Racial Equality), and labor
dictatorship.

DO YOU WANT YOUR CONGRESSMAN TO BE
RESPONSIBLE TO YOU, THE PEOPLE, OR TO
COMMUNISTIC, LABOR DICTATORS IN NEW
YORK AND WASHINGTON?

Sikes will never bow to CIO rule. We have fought shoul-
der to shoulder with him in the past. We know he is safe,
dependable, progressive. If you want to help keep Amer-
ica strong and free, register now and vote on May 7th.

The.' Florida CIO Convention in Tlampa announced on
March 17, 1946. that it would seek to defeat your ,
Congressman, Bob Sikes. Sidlcy Hillman's Cornm-
nunist-controlled PAC already has organizers at
work in the Third District. The CIO has set aside a
million dollar slush fund for the defeat of Southern
Congressmen who won't be dictated to by CTO
labor bosses.

Sunny State Has New
Method of Recapping"

C. W. "Red" Horton over there
at the Sunny State Service is go-
ing around bragging of the new
method of tire recapping that he
has in use at his place- of business.
And well he might brag, too, for
USCAP, as it is called, is an en-
gineered method of recapping de-
veloped by the United States Rub-
ber Company, using first quality
materials exclusively. The trade-
mark USiCAP is branded into eaci
length of tread stock and on the
new tread for the protection of
his customers. And that trade-
mark on the tread is an assurance
of quality.
"We have been appointed an of-
ficial USCAP shop," said Red. "It
will be our constant aim to main-
