Junior Woman's Census Figures Cancer Fund Drive Woman's Club Club Is Formed For Gulf County Lagging In County Meeting Held Tuesday; Officers Elected and Committees Named By MARJORIE PHILYAW A group of about twenty per- sons met TuesdAy evening at the home of Mrs. Basil E. Kenney for the purpose of forming a junior woman's club. Mrs. Kenntey opened the discus- sion by reading a letter from Mrs.. Bloodiworth, state chairman of Ju- nior Woman's Clubs, which gave instructions on the formation of a club and about federating it. Since it was the unanimous de- sire of the group that a club should' be formed, Mrs. Kenney led dfis- cussions on several features. The purpose of the club should be to "better the community in which you live," she stated. Two members of the senior wo- man's club, other than Mrs. Kehn- ney, were present to assist, Mrs. N. H. Stone and Mrs. Gus Creech. outgoing and incoming presidents. These three appointed a nominat- ing committee o'f Margaret Belin, chairman; Emily Ogilvie and Jen- nie McKinnon. This committee ad- journed, and returned with the ol- lowing ballot: Kitty Tyler, presi- dent; Marigene Taunton, first vice president; Nell Mitchell, second vice-president; Myrnipe Gaskin, re- cording secretary; Marjorie Phil- yaw, corresponding secretary, and Elizabeth Prows, treasurer. The nominations as submitted were unanimously accepted. ,Mrs. Tyler took the chair and stated her willingness to accept the suggestions of members. Two committees were named on advice of the senior members pr.eent, a program committee con- sisting of Mary Johnson., Pauline Owens and Estelle. Johnson,.and a by-laws committee composed of the two vice-presidents and the president. The club will meet the second Tuesday of each month, and the first meeting will be held, on May 14 at 8 p. m. in the cluibroom at the Centennial Building. The hos- tesses will be from the senior wo- man's club, and those present at that time will be considered char- ter members. Yearly dues were set at $3. Discussion was held concs-ning programs, projects, and socials, such as knoww your city," book re- vietws, husbands' night, beach par- ties, etc. The hotsess, assisted by .Mrs. Creech and Mrs. Stone, served iced punch, wafers and cake which were enjoyed by the guests. 11111llll Illlll llllllllllllllll llll llllll llllll lllll lil lll llllllll WHERE'S ELMER? .Great excitement prevailed at the high school yesterday, for Elmer had disappeared and no trace of him could be found. While Elmer answers to the name Elmer, his full handle, is Elmer Elmer Percival Shakd- speare Homer. He has two coats of shellack on his back and al- ways walks in a slow and se- date manner. Anyone meeting up with El- mer Eht~er etc., is asked to con- duct him -back to the high school. Elmer is a turtle 'brought in by Lynette Traxler and he has be- come quite a fixture at school. UllHiflilllilitllllilllllll0lllltll ll llltillilllllllllllUHU U ilUl - Are Interesting Natives of Almost Every State In Union and Many Foreign Countries Live Here The editor of The S'tar this week receive a most interesting book- let from Nathan Mayo, commls- s'ioner of agriculture, containing( results of the 1945 state census. Ohe book is composed mostly of tables showing the general and .steady growth of the state's popu- lation from 1830 to 1945. These tables show by race, sex and age periods the population of the coun- ties, and other civil and political divisions, and the place of birth. - In 182.1 the Territory of Florida was organized into two counties. Escamnbia (West Florida) compris- ing the territory west of the Su- wannee River, and St. Johns (East Floridla) including the rest of the territory of Florid'a. Theo first census was taken in 1830 by the United States govern- ment, 'but since Gulf county was carved, out of Calhoun county in 192,5, we are interested mostly in the census figures since 1925. However, the early census fig- ures are interesting, and we "find that Calhoun county was cut from Jackson county in 1838, being listed in the 1840 census with a popula-. tion of 1,142. The 1925 census. gave Calhoun 11,365 population, but in 19.30 it had 7,298, since Gult county had come into being in 1925 with ,. population of 3,182. As thei five-year census' were .taken we find the population of Gulf county gradually climbing- 1935, 3,099; 1940, 6,951, and 1945, 7,010. Of course there is no orention of old, St. Joseph, which in 1840 was' the largest city in Florida with an estim-ated population of 10,000 and was Ibeing considered as the capi- tol of the state. But those are past glories, andi Port St. Joe and: Gulf county must reckon with the pres- ent. Checking on through this inter- esting 'booklet, we find that the 1945 census gives Gulf county 2,593 white males and 2,485 white females, and a negro population of 974 males and 958 females. Broken down into precincts we find the following: Precinct 1, Wewahitchka-White 1,251; negro, 431. Of voting age: White, 719; negro, 218. (Continued on Page 3) Coach Seeks Players For St. Joe Ball Team Practice started in earnest this week for players on the Port St. Joe ball club in the Gulf Coast League, and Coach-Manager Bus- ter Owens says he would like to see more candidates out to make a place on the team. With the first regular workout at the local ball park Monday there were 18 present, but in' order to get a really good team there should be twice that many. So any of "yous 1bumnis"' who think you can make the team are asked; to come out and strut your stuff. Practice Is held every day (except Satur- day and Sunday) at 5 p. m. at the ball. park. ---4-- In Wewa On Business Mrs. W. J. Daughtry anl M's. B. F.

Kenney, campaign manager. The quota, as set by the executive committee of the county is $1500. "Our people should know that we are trying to buy a deep ther- apy machine for our local hos-_ pital," said Mr. Kenney. "In' spite of the increasing de- mands made upon our resources, we should all stop, and think care- fully on just what the control of cancer means in our lives and In the lives of those dear to 'us. 'Without the support of our citi- zens, in interest as well as in mon-ey, little can be accom- plished,," concluded Mr. Kenney. "Can you afford to ignore this duty?" Crippled Children's Clinic Here Today Final arrangements were com- pleted yesterday for the crippled children's clinic to be held today at the Gulf county health office-on Sixth Street beginning at 9 a. m. This clinic' is being Sipbnored by the American Legion' posts of Gulf and Franklin counties and will be conducted by personnel of tha Florida crif'pled children's commission.

Ow Country 1g Right or Wrong INGROWN RACKET MAY FESTER While there has been little or no black marketing here in Port St. Joe, other parts of the country have not been so lucky, and black marketing might yet turn out to be the most serious "racket" epicFemic the nation has ever experienced. It has been something the public has been hearing and reading about but it seems yet to be something vague and formidable something buried deep in an underworld all its own, and again something which has been-all too fortunate in conduct- ing its illicit operations with an apparent min- imum of official counter-action. The black market "biggies" are obviously racketeers of the highest calibre the kind who want all the money in the world. They' will have, money, and lots of it, long after presentday shortages are ended, and. with this money many of them are certain to fi- nance new rackets. Bootleggers of the pro- hibition era were never a more serious threat to the nation and the racketeers of those years were constantly subject to surprise en- counters with efficiently organized groups of federal'agefts who, when they set their linids to it, had easier means of tracking down the gangster mobs and those who were virtual' amateurs in the business. Now the black market boys are "getting away with murder" without the need of kill- ing each other off as did the bootlegging mob- sters. They have carried on and escaped of- ficial action, probably because the"nation hah been too busy with wartime and post-war problems to make any serious inroads on their operations, while the public has been both intimidated and largely indifferent to their present role in American life. Legislators now appear to be split over the question of continuation of the OPA as a necessary effort in staving off inflation. Who among the experts is right as to the need of further continuance of the OPA, is difficult to say. All kinds of theories have been ad- vanced, some based on intelligent study, and others arising of the selfish impulses of those who have special axes to grind in the busi- ness, industrial or political world. One thing, at least, appears to be certain. If the black market boys have the control over present market conditions, as some ex- perts say they have, then what the nation needs right now is an OPA to give about all of its attention to these shady characters back' stage. Senator Claude Pepper apparently doesn't realize that all wealth comes from the land, for last week he cancelled several speaking engagements in Florida to remain in Wash- ington to fight the farm parity price amend- ment to the minimum wage bill which was before the senate. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Russell of Georgia, would give the farmer the privilege to up his prices to offset increased labor costs. It was written into the bill over the bitter protests of Pepper. Malay is one of the easiest languages in the world to learn-it has few verbs, none of them irregular, no articles, no prepositions, and no grammar. Indianapolis News. We've been wondering for a long time what language our Port St. Joe high school boys and girls have been using. Now we know-it's Malay. With men's shirts scarcer than hen's teeth, we think it would be a good idea if someone , would do something about a painted-on shirt similar to those liquid stockings the women are getting by with. Personally, we'd prefer something with red and green stripes. If you have an hour to spare, don't spend it with someone who hasn't, sez Austin Huggins. SER VICE!

Gulf, Bay, Calhoun and' Washington, has a to- tal population of 70,312, of which 58,507 are white and 11,765 are negroes. Of this number there are 38,258 whites of voting age and 6,672 negroes of voting age. Of this total Gulf county has. 2,886 whites of voting age and 1,136 negroes. The next table shows that be- tween the 1940 census and the 1945 census. Gulf county showed an in- crease of 59 in population, or .8 of one per cent. The 1945 census gave the county a population of 6,951, and! the 1945 census a total of 7,010. This isn't bad, for it indi- cates that, the people who come to Gulf county like it so well that they decide to stay. here. Continuing on our perusal of this interesting booklet we find that Gulf county has a land area of 558 square miles with a population of 13.2 persons per square mile. (This ain't bad, considering the population of many other coun- tries, which reach as high as 623 persons per square amile-at least we have plenty of room to breathe and use a fishing pole.) Of this number 3,404 reside in the rural districts. Going on from there we discover that there are 943 chilluns in the county under six years of age, di- vid'ed as follows: Under one year, 135; one year, 131; two years, 171; three years, 129; four years, 119; five years, 118; six years, 140. Negroes: Total, 325; under one year, 45; one year, 39; two years, 50; three years, 47; four years, 59; five years, 36; six years, 49. Of the white youngsters from 7 to 15 years of age we find that there are 392 males and 428 males, and of this total of 820 there are 808 attending .school. On the negro side of the ledger we find that of a total of 330 *oildren 7 to 15 years of age, 321 are 'attending school, indicating that the negroes are seeing to it that their children get an education. In the population tables by race and sex we find the following: 16 to 20 years: White males 193; females, 236; negro males 6.1; fe- males, 80. 21 to 64 years of age: White males 1,418; females, 1,287; negro males, 547; females, 518. Over 65 years of age: White males, 99; females, 82; male negroes, 44; females, 27. Gulf county's two cities, Port St. Joe and, Wewahitchka, have a combined population of 3,606, of which 2,467 is in this city and 1,139 in the county seat. Port St. Joe has a white population of 765 fe- males and 733 males, and, a negro population of 474 males and 495 females. Wewahitchka has a white population of 521 males and 459 females, and the negroes 78 males and 81 females. In .1925 (the first census since Gulf county came into being) Port St. Joe had a population of 714. By the 19.30 census it had increased to 851, but dropped back to 798 in 1935. By 1940 it ehad climbed to 2,393, and the census of last year gives us 2,467 residents. Wewahitch ka had a somewhat similar growth, having a popula- tion of 584 in 1930; 755 in 1935; 1.022 in 1940, and 1,139 in 1945.
