the colorful North Florida bani
festival held' last Friday and Sat-
urday at Tallahassee, the PTrt St
Joe' high school band walked, oft
with second division honors in
drill, sight reading and -musiciar-
ship and the youngs'teps did it


with a 30-piece 'band' of which but
three members had' ever before
participated in a festival. The peo-
ple of this city should really be
proud of its organization.
. Director Stanford Beckham said
lie "just couldn't see how they did
it," but the payoff was through
two months of intensive practice
and drills
The main factor that led to the
second division rating in marching
was the leadership o'f Drum Major
Bill Traweek. Two months ago Bill
had: never held a baton, nor did
he know the first signal. With a
little work he mastered the baton,
learned the maneuvers, signals
and execution of the march steps.
If ever a veteran drum major lea,
a band better, we must see him.
In the concert and sight read-
ing divisions the band -was com-
plilnented. Also in the concert for
following,' ire, dlie'ni. tobr"- gdod
execution and' in sight reading for
Ih-e excellent job done on pieces
never seen Ibefore, the band was
highly complimented.
It was a very successful try at
the festival, since neither band
master nor band members ex-
pected to make above fourth dl-
vision. As things turned out, they
ranked along with the Pensacola
band, the only "A" band in North
Florida.

Speaker At, Kiwanis Club

District Lieut. Governor C. E.
Perkins of DeFuniak Springs was
guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club
luncheon yesterday' and gave a
very interesting history of Kiwanis
International.
(Mem'bers were somewhat sur-
prised, when reminded that the or-
ganization originated in principle

Perkinbs' said, K-iwanis could lay
claim to being one of the oldest
civic organizations in existence,
though actually founded in 1915.
Step by step, he outlined the pro-
gress of Kiwanis down to the
present day when its growth has
reached over 2,350 clubs with' a
combined membership of more
than 156,000. Concluding his ad-
dress, Mr. Perkins conducted a
quiz on the facts he had outlined.

Mrs. J. L. McQuaig, 39, passed
away last Sunday at het home on
Eighth Street after a two weeks'
illness following an operation at
the municipal hospital.
Mrs. McQuaig was born Febru-
ary 1, 1907, at Sloconrb, Ala., and
before her marriage was Miss Min-
nie Davis. She had been a resident
of Port St. Joe for the past 16
years, coming here in 1980. She is
survived by her hu'siandi and one
daughter, Betty, both of this city.

Meeting Tuesday

Night To Organize

Jr. C. of C. Here

Believed Such An Organization
Would Be Big Asset To
Community

A meeting of all interested per-
sons has been called for next
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in th-'0
high school auditorium for the
purpose of organizing a junior
chamber of commerce in Port St.
Joe. At that "time a delegation
from t h e Apalachicola Junior
Chamber of Commerce will be on
hand to assist in formulating this
much-needed .civic organization.
In'all cities the junior chamber
of commerce is the organization
which generally takes the lead in
all types of civic improvements..
The need. for such an organization
in Port St. Joe is very apparent,
but without tlhe all-out effort and
support of citizens of the city it
will not be able to succeed in its,
functions.
Many groups in past years have
endeavored to do what a junior
chamber of commerce can do, but
have met with failure simply be-
cause of the lack of proper organt-
zation. A civic body such as the
junior chamber of commerce, com-
posed' of 'business men, profes-
sional men,. and working men,- all
aiming for the same goal, "A RBt-.
ter. Prti St e, will
achieve what has not been done
in the past.
As was expresesd by a former
governor of Florida when 'address-
ing the state 'junior chamber of.
commerce meeting a .few years'
ago: "The junior chamber of com-
merte is an integral part of the
life of every city, small or large,
and should be the means whereby
the consensus of opinion would be
made known concerning city gov-
ernment, civic improvements and
the like."

Our Country Right or Wrong


A DOUBLE MEANING
Easter is commemorative of the spirit of
ascension; and, in this sense, it is doubly sig-
nificant this year< In a second commemora-
tive sense, we can give thanks for emergence
from the black extinction of war into the
promise of new life, happiness and clarity
ahead.
This, coupled with the more sacred signifi-
cance, is sufficient to impart the fullest sense
of joyousness to our Easter services and cele-
brations this year.
Looking ahead towards the further feeling
of resurrection, we can speculate hopefully on
the psychological effect of the first war-free
summer in six years. Summer alone is a balm
for many things, and, combined with the first
full-hearted enjoyment of peace, it may go
even further. At least that's a hope we might
tuck away inside our Easter basket.

MORE INFORMATION WOULD HELP
There is growing up in this country a criti-
cal attitude to the Russian government.
Perhaps this attitude is justified- Certainly
if all the statements that are coming out of
Russia are true, then it. behooves this country
to keep a weather eye on her activities.
But, it seems to the editor of The Star, that
the true attitude we should take to the Rus-
sian government should be that of temperate
consideration. What we should do is to insist
that our own government define just how
our. policy and Russia's conflict. To build up
an antagonism against Russia, based on
casual reports from Russia, without some
guidance from the state department is to
make up our minds without having official in-
formation on which to base our decision.
'The Russians think differently from our-
selves. Talk to any returning GI who has been
in contact with Russians and they will say
frankly that they do not understand them.
Yet, if we are not to have an enemy of that
country, it is our job to try to understand
them. But we are hardly in a position to do
so as long as we get piecemeal reports which
come to use from people who are not in a po-
sition to know what moves are in progress.
Our state department owes it to the citizens
of this country to be specific on the subject
of Russia. Have we reason to fear them? Are
we on bad terms? Is she violating her agree-
ments with us? These are questions for which
we seek an answer. When' we have a state
department report we gre then in a position
to make up our minds and our attitude. Un-
til then, we are merely floundering around
in the dark.

mental stage, should fill a long-felt need un-
less Nature comes up with a carborundum

Editor The Star:
I am a discharged' soldier. The

I can't go out on the streets naked

I would gladly stay off the

Pinhole Punctures
Small pinhole punctures of tubes
are often difficult to find when water
is not handy. By slightly inflating
the tube and holding it close to the
ground, the puncture can usually be
located by the disturbance made in
the dust by the escaping air from
tube.

One of our most important activities is
extending lines to rural areas and to new
homes in the area served by this company.

With the relaxation of war time restric-
tions on line extensions the engineering de-
partment of this company has made exten-
sive plans to bring the convenience of all
electric service to more and more people.
Due to strikes and retooling of war
plants, materials such as transformers and
copper wire are not available in quantities suf-
ficient to make immediate connection to all
those who have requested service.. -
If you are an applicant for eleAiric serv-
ice, we understand your eagerness to have it,
and are doing all in our power to make it
possible f6r you to enjoy the conveniences of
electricity as soon as we can.

CIO-PAC Ridical Group-

(Continued from Page 1)
third, paity must be composed of
the negro people, trade union
workers, veterans and sharecrop-
pers, and can be accomplished
only 'by'the political unity of ac-
tion of 'trade unionists, and negro
people. It depends on the existence
of a politically aware body of ne-
gro voters in the present corrupt
Democratic party of the South."
Readers are adivis-ed that for fur-
ther information they should write
to the Communist Party of Jack-
sonville.
Those back of this political effort
are shrewd, clever operators. In
the present apathy and lack of in-
terest in the coming election on
the part of the average citizen
they see a golden opportunity to
win by default, for they are see-
ing, to it that every vote they can
muster is being qualified, and
their group will vote, in a block
for or against the candidates of
their choice while, on the other
hand, thousands of unorganized
citizens- will neglect to register,
or, being registered, will fail- to
vote.
The CIO-PAC publicly has de-
clared' its intention to defeat all
congressmen who have voted' con-
trary to their instructions, and to
elect congressmen, senators and
state legislators who will do their
bidding.
When a radical labor group,
using every means in its power,
becomes dominant politically and
starts cracking its whip over the
heads of lawmakers with threats
of defeat if they vote contrary to
the groups' wishes and, with pronm-
ises of reward to those -who act In
accordance with its bidding, the
security and welfare of the people
as a whole is endangered and
democratic government Itself is
threatened.
The situation is so serious that
it behooves. every right-thinking,
liberty-l.ving citizen to make sure
NOW that he or she is properly
registered and that they ibe sure
to vote. The time is short. Regls
tration books will close in most
counties on April 20.
If the people continue to sleep
in the face of this- danger and fail
to register there is a strong possi-
bility that CIO-PAC will b. suc- .
cessiful in its 'effort and can point
with pride to its domination of
Florida.


Tapper Awarded Grading Job
The board of county commis-
sioners have awarded George G.
Tapper the contract for 'putting in
a fill on the county road' from the
county line to Odena. But two
bids were submitted for 'the joab,
that of Tapper for $895 and that;
of J. G. Hall for $1500.

A typical infantry division was
supplied with 700 miles of tele-
phone wire, when it went into
