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.

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.

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.

Coach Seeks Players

For St. Joe Ball Team

Practice started in earnest this
week for players on the Port St.

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

Chairman Urges Citizens To Ta'ke
Greater Interest In
Campaign

Gulf county is lagging far be-
hind in the 1946 drive for funds
for the control of cancer, accord-
ing to Basil E. 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?"

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.

We don't imagine all our read number will clip this article and
ers will wade through this mess put it away for future reference.
k


prising the counties of. 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.
In the table o'( the nativity of
the white popualtion of our county.
we find quite a conglomerate mix-
ture, with the total of 5,054 dl-
vided as follows: Alabama, 649;
Arizona, 1; Arkansas, .35; Califor-
nia, 4; Colorado, 1; Connecticut,1;
Florida. 3,226; Georgia, .484; Illi-

P.-T. A. Hears Talks On
Community Activities
The regular monthly meeting of
the Parent- Teachers Association
was held in the school library on
Thursday afternoon of last week,
with Mrs. Ralph Swatts, president,
presiding. After calling the session
to order she turned the meeting
over to Prof. W. A. Biggart, pro-
gram chairman, who introduced
Reiv. W. T. Wrenn, Methodist min-
ister, who gave the devotional.
Theme of the program was "The
School's Place In the Communiity,"
and Prof. Biggart pointed out that
this position was more than schol-
astic. He stated that since schools
play a major part in young peo-
ple's lives, the students should be
led in the right way in every
phase of future living. In order to
accomplish the aims of education
the parents' co-operation is most
essential, he pointed out, and re-
quested that the recreational pro-
gram for the summer months have
the backing and co-operation of
parents of the city in order that
it be a success.
Mr. Biggart then introduced E.
M. Bailey, Port St. Joe recrea-
tional director, who gave the group
a complete outline of his recrea-
tional plans for the months of va-
cation. The city has granted use
of the lot across Long Avenue op-
posite the school grounds folr use
as a playground.
During the business meeting
Mrs. Ralph Rich was named chair-
man of a committee to 'investi-
gate the possibility of obtaining
public subscribers to use the li-
brary and thus enable it to be
kept open during the. summer
months.
Mrs. Siwatts. announced that Mr.
Beckham, band director, had said
that the P.-T. A. party for the band
could be held, in two weeks, and
Mrs. L. P. Sutton was appointed
chairman of a committee to plan
for the party, and was instructed
to call on members for help..
The nominating committee sub-
mitted its report for officers for
the ensuing year, as follows: Mrs.
Ralph S'watts, president; Mrs. Ed
Ramsey, first vice-president; Mrs.
A. L. Ward, second vice-president;
Mrs. Purvis Howell, secretary;
Mrs. Wiiibur Smith, treasurer, and
Mrs. Ndbie Stone, parliamentarian.
