i Seeking Members

New Civic Body, Organized Last
Week, Should Prove Bene-
ficial To City

By AL SCHNEIDER
At a meeting held April 23 in
the high school auditorium the
Port St. Joe Junior CGlamber of
Commerce came into being.
A group of 25 men gathered to
hear a delegation from the Ap-
alachicola Jaycees explain t he
necessary details for the forming
of a chlb here. Thos. R. L. Carter
acted; as temporary chairman an,'
introduced the Apalachicola dele-
gation, which, was headed, by John
J. Buzzett, president of the Jay-,
cees in the Oyster City. Mr. Buz-
zett, with his fellow officers, ex-
plained the requirements and out-'
lined the functions of' the Jaycee
movement and was greatly pleased,
-with the enthusiasm shown here In
the.for'min- or l.o:.1 club.
Judge Carter called for nomina-
tions, and the followvini officers
were duly elected,: Opp Moore,
president; Frank Hannon, vice-
president; R. F. Scheffer, secr.-
tary; Winston Jones, treasurer.
After some discussion ih was de-
cided, that during the month -of
May weekly meetings will be held
each Monday night at 8 o'colck at
the Danley Furniture Company un-
til such time as a regular meeting
place becomes available. By unanT-
mous approval the membership

Closed Season On Bass
Still On In Gulf County

The 60-day closed season on
black bass fishing ended all over
Floridu Tuesday at midnight with
the exception of Gulf, Bay, Jack-
son. and part of Calhoun counties.
*Anglers may take 'bass in Jack-
son, county after June 1, ibut In
this area the 90-day closed season
will not end until June 15.
Local Izaak Waltons are fretting
over this discrimination and pro-
pose to have the law 'changed next
year to conform to the balance of
the state.

Mrs. Hettie Britt of Wewahitchka
was a shopper here yesterday and
also visited with her sister, Mrs.
Ben Dickens.


Candidates Are Finding It Ex-
tremely Hard To Arouse
Voters' Enthusiasm

P,rom what we have observed
here in Gulf county the voting
populace is taking but very little
interest in the forthcoming pri-
mary election next Tuesday, even
in our local state representative
race and the contest 'between Carl.
Gray and Bob Sikes for the Third
District congressional seat.
With but four days to go the
candidates will have to do some-
thing drastic if they expect to stir
up any excitement and enthusiasm.
Biggest reason is that this is an
off-year election with no local cam-
paigns nor campaigns for state of-
fices that generally 'bring the most
excitement.
There are two question marks
in this year's primary.
The first is the effect of negroes
voting for the first time .as Dem-
ocrats in any considerable num-
ber, although there are but few in
Gulf county.
It seems that a majority of the
candidates. served. ,n one or the
other of the two World' Wars, and
are quite obviously interested in
the war veteran vote, since nearly
every platform contains a promise
to work for better housing, educa-
tional an'd other benefits for the
servicemen.
Greatest interest here in Gulf
county is manifested in the race
for representative, the congres-
sional race, and. the contest for
nomination to the U. S. senate seat
from which Senator C. 0. Andrews
will retire in January.
Naturally, with two well-known
'ocal men, George Tapper and Char-
lie Wilson, ,battling for the Gulf
county seat in the state legisla-
ture, the greatest interest is being
manifested in that contest. General
'coinensus is that it will be close,
with the ed-ge going to George.
Next in interest, we find, is the
fight by' Carl Gray to unseat in-
cumbent Bob Sikes in the con-
gresisiunal race in ourt district. Bob
is campaigning on his past record
and Carl is doing his politicking
with a string 'band for which he
does his own singing.
Ranking third in interest here.
is the contest for the. U. S. senate

Cancer .Drive

Appeal Made

By Chairman

Small Contribution By Everyone
Would More Than Exceed
Goal Set

If every man, woman and child
in Florida contributed the.. price of
two three-cent postage stamps to
the current drive for funds to fight
cancer, the state not only would
attain, but .would exceed, its goal
of $1,32,720, Basil E. Kenney, Gulf
county chairman for the drive said.
The drive has bogged down here
in Gulf county. according to Mr
Kenney, and unless those who
have not yet contributed do so at
once the quota of $1500 will never
be attained.
"Six cents apiece from each ot
Florida's people literally would
spell the difference between life
and death for hundreds who will
die of cancer," he said. "Don't
wait for a worker' to contact you
persoifally. Simply put your con-
trilbution in a stamped envelope
marked with the single word 'Can-
cer,' drop it in 'the postoffice. and
it will reach me."

REV. BILLY DANIEL
ON RETIRED LIST

Rev. W. A. "Billy" Daniel. who

Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka
Presbyterian Ohurches for a num-

livered his last sermon (officially
-for we know he will go right on
preaching). and' is now on the re-
tired list.
Rev. Billy, a great fisherman,
says he does not intend' to leave
Florida, and that he probably will
make his future home at Wewa-
hitchka, close to the Dead' Lakes.

Commercial Plant Food Is Most Efficient When Applied in Trenches on
Both Sides of the Garden Row...


Quick-acting chemical plant food
will benefit garden plants whether
it is spaded into the soil, spread
and raked in as the top soil is be-
ing smoothed, or applied in sev-
eral other ways in which amateur
gardeners may have been in the
habit of using it.
But the most efficient method-
the way that gives the most for
your money is to apply it in
trenches on either side of the gar-
den row in which the seeds are
sown. This method has been de-
veloped in a long series of experi-
ments, land is based upon the way
that plants grow and chemicals be-
have when applied to soil.
Plants require balanced nutrition
from the time seeds germinate, or
the transplants are set out. Yet too
much nitrogen, especially, is h'arm-
ful to seedlings. -Then, certain
chemical food elements do not
travel very fast in the soil. Others
attach themselves to soil particles
and do not move to the feeding root
area. It is better when making
application of plant food to put it
in a location where it will be more
convenient for the roots to reach it.


Even nitrogen, in the form usual.
ly found in plant food, will not at
once dissolve and be evenly dis.
tribute in the soil moisture though
it will in time, after certain chem.
ical changes have taken place.
To use the new method for apply.
ing plant food, stretch the line to
mark the row in which seeds are
to be planted. Then not less than
two inches away on either side,
make a furrow four inches deep.
Pour plant food into each furrovw
at the rate of one pound (or pint)
for 50 feet, and cover it with earth.
Then make the drill in which seed
are to be sown and proceed with
planting as usual.
Remember that it is possible to
use too much plant food, and do
not, exceed the recommended ap<
plication. Additional, plant food
should be applied later at about five
or six week intervals to keep your
plants growing well. ;And be sure
to keep your bands of plant food
two inches away from the seed
drill, so that the soil in which seed-
lings are coming up will not get an
overdose, which the young plants
cannot handle.

three and a half billion dollars
without impairing any services of

Gus W. Lawton, spokesman for
the association, i.ointed to expen-
diitures of over three billion dol-
lars "that have not been author-
ized by congress" and another
item of two billion more for "pure-

hall billion for general govern-

with no regard t taxpayers, and
contends, that it is time to call a

civilian agencies functions of

ranted expenditures to maintain
purely wartime ageiicies that could
be eliminated or greatly reduced.

WE NEED GEORGE TAPPER
There's no use for us eulogizing George
Tapper, candidate for representative in the
legislature, for everybody in Gulf county
knows him personally, knows his past record
and knows "that he would represent our
Gulf county citizens fairly, capably and en-
ergetically if sent to the legislative halls of
our state capital.
George has a ten-point program outlined
on which he will work if elected Tuesday-
1. He will support all beneficial legisla,'
tion for the advancement and improvement of
our Gulf' county school system.
2. He favors a 25 per cent raise in pay for
teachers (and we all know how terribly un-
derpaid our teachers are).
3. He will work for adequate highway and
road development for our county, including
hard-surfacing of the state road from Beacon
Hill to Wewahitchka.
4. He favors keeping our five-man com-
mission government here in Port St. Joe, and
pledges himself to introduce special legislation.
to clarify a number of controversial points In,
the special bill put through at the last session
by our present representative.
5. He favors taking off the "emergency"
one-centrper-gallon tax on gasoline.
6. He will advocate and work for a reduc-
tion in the cost of automobile license tags.
7. ,Being a veteran himself,'he'pledges to
support all legislation beneficial to veterans.
8. He will support any fair labor legisla-
tion.
9. Highly favors amending our present
laws to reduce the age requirement of quail-
fied electors from 21 to 18 years of age.
10. He will support civil service for all
state employes.
In addition to his platform outlined above,
knowing George as we do, we know he will
insist upc;i elimination of any useless spend-
ing of state money by state boards, bureaus
and commissions, and will work assiduously
for any legislation that provides for assistance
to the aged. the blind, and dependent children.
As we stated before, we all know George,
and we know that he will, if elected, at all
times welcome the opportunity to turn an at-
tentive ear to suggestions from his constitu-
ents.
For the best interests of Gulf county and
its people, let's name George Tapper our next
representative in the legislature. And there's
only o e way to do that-get out and vote
next Tudsday and urge your friends to do
likewise.


It used to be that men listened attentively
to smutty jokes so they could go home and
tell them to their,wives. It seems to. be the
other way 'round today.

ing to flhe United States: "I. O. U.- and let's

FAST-GROWING FLORIDA
In our front page article last week on re-
sults of the recently-completed Florida cen-
sus, we touched only 'on that portion pertain-
ing to Gulf county. We did not have room to
consider the state as a whole. Now we will
see what the census shows in that respect.
We find that the population of the state Is
now 2,250,601, an' 18.6 per cent increase over
the 1940 federal census, Broken down, the
figures provide some interesting facts con-
cerning the diversity of this population. For
instance, they show that less than half our
residents-specifically, 48.8 per cent-are na-
tive born. Leading the list of "back home"
states, in order, are Georgia, Alabama, New
York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ohio,
Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana,
Michigan Massachusetts, Kentucky and New
Jersey. In addition, many foreign born per-
sons have settled in our midst.
Other characteristics of the count are that.
today 1,440,103 persons live in Florida cities
and towns of 2500 or over. The trek to town
began in the early 1920's and has continued
increasingly since that time. In 1920 the
states urban population was 36.5 per cent of
the total, five years after it was 57.3. In -1935
it stood at 61.6, and today it is 64 per, cent.
The state has three cities of more than 100,7
000 populati-on, 20 between 10,000 and 90,060,
17 from 5000 to 10,000, andt 3o from 2500 to
5000. It is brought out that war migrations
brought a loss in population to 29 counties in
Florida, but indications are' that shifts bac-k
to many of these counties are getting under-
way. Gulf county showed no such drain, re-
maining almost static throughout the war
years, the population increasing by 59.
.Other interesting data is that since the turn
of the century, the precent of negro popuia-
ion in Florida has been consistently decreas-
ing. In 1900 negroes comprised 43.8 per cent
of the total population; today this percentage
has fallen to 24.7.
Yes, Florida is growing and will continue to
grow, and Port St. Joe will grow along with
it, In fact, we wouldn't be at all surprised to
find that within the next five years Port S't.
Joe will be more than double its present popu-
lation of 2,393.


JUNIOR C. OF C MERITS SUPPORT
The recently-organized junior chamber of
commerce, which is composed of young men
between the ages of 18 and 35. is a project of
much importance to all residents of Port St.
Joe, and merits the full support of everyone,
since it offers much for the benefit of the city.
First in importance, of course, is the bring-
ing together of 'the largest possible number
of men and women for advice, counsel and
work 'on projects aimed at building a bigger,
better and more prosperous Port St. Joe.
It will be through such combined efforts
that the junior chamber of commerce will be
given the strength and intelligence to work
most effectively toward the development of
industrial, cultural .and civic projects whose
benefits will redound to the good of all resi-
dents of our community.
Through membership in the chamber city-
zens will be given the opportunity to make
their .respective -talents count most, not only
for their own well-being but for the well-
being of their fellowmen, and the contribu-
tions they will make toward maintenance
of the chamber will enable that agency to
achieve results that would be impossible
otherwvise.
If you are not already a member (and you
can be a supporting member if above the age
limit), why not join today, since every mem-
ber added to the roster will be reflected in
correspondingly increased activities.


Candidates are getting all set to go in this
off-year election, but some of them won't
go far.


TOO LATE TO

CLASSIFY
By RUSSELL KAY

You know if those oil folks keep
foolin' around with their drillin'
rigs, first thing you know they'll
tap a gusher and smear, black,
sticky petroleum all over Florida.
Last week at Sunniland in Col-
lier county, the Humble Oil Com-
pany brought in the state's third
producing well, and' from all re-
ports it's a sure enough well that
is delivering oil at the rate of 253
barrels a day: This new well is
just two and a half miles away
from the other two producing wells
in the area and gives concrete evi-
dence that there is oil in the
'Glades and the geologists are get-
tin' closer and closer to the pool.
Another .:good indication Is that
the oil from this new well is bet-
ter quality* that from the other
two wells, with a specific gravity
of 24.9 compared with about 20 for
the other two. Total production
today from the three wells is over
500 barrels a day.
Interest is reaching Tever heat
in the area, for. the big oil com-
panies have leased, millions of
acres in -Central and, South Flor-
ida, and everyone with an oil lease
on his property is thrilled at the
news. and' feels confident that the
day will come when he will cash in
on the black gold that he is cer-
tain lies, hidden below his land.
As was the case when the other
producing wells were brought in,
the success with the new well has
caused, a rush of curious to the
spot. Folks from -all over South
Florida climbed in their cars and
drove by for a look at the well. It
has also spurred interest in other
w-lls being drilled in the state all
the way from Apalachicola to the
Florida Keys.
State Geologist Herman Gunter
gives the following information as
to'thd status of these wells as of
April 9:
The Pure Oil Company's well in
Franklin county is now down 1].-
375 feet.
Th: Ohio Oil Company's ,well In
Hernando county, 11 miles north-
west of Brooksville, is down.5,783
feet.
The Republic Oil' Company well
southeast of Homestead, is diowsn
10,754 feet, and the Gulf Oil Com-
pany's well, 30 miles east of Key
West, is down 5,530 feet.
In Osceola county. Humble's Ray
Carroll Well No. 1, north of Deer
Park,, is down 1.848 feet.
The first two Humble wells pro-
duced 43,500 barrels of oil through
1945, and it is expected, that oil,
quantities, of it, will eventually
come from Florida wells to enrich
the coffers of the state and bring
riches to fortunate citizens on
whose property it is produced.
But Florida is not standing
around waiting for oil. Other great
industries are developing that in
time should: mean as much, if not
more, to Florida than the oil she
will produce.
Ramie, the wonder fibre crop, is
being planted in -a number of areas
on a commercial scale, decorcitat-
ing plants are being built, and
they will be followed by great tex-
tile mills.
In the same Everglades that is
giving us our first oil are millions
of fertile acres that will produce
untold wealth from sugar cane,
starch and winter vegetables.
Florida's tomorrow is bright with
promise.

Boaded Debt
The net bonded debt of New York
state decreased during 1943 from
#487,000,000 to $460,500,000, a net de-
cline of $26,500,000, or almost 5%

War and Peace
Editor The Star:
The greatest tragedy, of all ages
-the people 'being unable to re-
alize their natural common rights;
pacts, treaties, alliances m ad e
openly' or in secrecy are only tem-
porary, later to become scraps of
paper, andl will never end wars.
Study the past and you will know
the future.
If the people want future ware
they should require their rulers to
draft men 50 .years old and up.
What right have the elders, who
have lived their lives, to send
their youth, to war. who have yet
to live their live? The ruling class
erects monuments to praise war;
let the people erect them to hate
war. 'Patriotism is love of coin-
try, uplift of mankind, andi does
not constitute slaughter of the.
human race.
The peoples of all nations should
be able to come/ and go any time,
anywhere, without restraint, thus
becoming agents of good will the -
world over. Race, color, creed,. 1s
beside the point; we are all God's
children. The curse of the human
race is "inferiority complex." What.
a man dislikes, in his superiors let
him not display in the treatment
of his inferiors.
Our leading nations have three
classes the upper-crusters, who
rule; the great mididlei class, who
work and produce and upon whom
must develop a higher standard of
civilization; and the poor, or in-
active class. When the people
come to themselves- andl decide
war by popular, vote, this hellisai
but glorified monstrosity will be
gone glimmering, You often hear
"Thefe will be wars and rumors
of wars," and iin~.t .ne last phrase
"But the end, is not yet." Tl4
earth is the Lord's and those that
dwell therein.
Wounded and' dying from battles
past
The weary foes make peace at last
And what is it the people get?
7Wliy, tax',s, tears, oldl maids and
debt.
The motives of all wars come
from the impulse of greed. The
Axis powers rushed out to steal
other lands, while the Allies, with
long arms, were able' to hold their
loot and plunder. Wars will never
determine what is right. The de-
feated are pauperized, while the
victors hold the bag to salvage
what is left. Is this civilization?
Let thie band play, please.

Joe Paper-Company," said, George.
"My stand with the company is
this: Before the company came
here if I had 25 cents in my pocket
I was: a very fortunate boy, and a
lot of other people were the same
way. But since the company hai
come here the town' has pros.
ered and you people who -are lis-
tening to me have prospered, too.
"If elected as your representa-
tive I Will co-operate with the
company, but I will work for the
.people andi co-operate with the
company to make Port St. Joe and
our county a more prosperous com-
munity. And if the company ap-
proaches me with a bill for the in-
terest of Gulf county I will be for
it, 'but if the lill is for the inter-
est of the company only, I will
be against it."
In regard' to .his stand on labor,
George said: "There is a rumor go-
ing around that. I am against ia-
bor, but there is no basis for It.
When I organized the St. Joe
Stevendoring Company I Lnsisted
that only local union labor be em-
ployed and that all laborers be
from Port St. Joe, not from Pan-
ama City or Pensacola."
In discussing various planks In
his platform, George said: "I will
work toward setting up a perma-
nent school program, including ,
minimum wage for teachers in all
parts of the state and' a 25 per
cent raise in salary for teachers
in Gulf county.
"I am in favor of the present
fiveman commission for Port St.
Joe, but, as was intended in the
original bill, there should be ont
candidate running at large for
mayor, so that the people of the
city will be enabled' to choose their
own. mayor by popular vote, not
by vote of the' commissioners. i
promise, if elected, to introduce a
bill amending the St. Joe city char-
ter to take care of this matter and
to change the- preesnt messed-up
amendment to the city charter
to make three commission votes
to change the ,present messed-up
instead of two, as at present."
He stated that hd would worX
to. repeal the present 1-cent "emer-
gency" gas tax and in asking for
the veterans' vote' assured all
of them that he knows how they
feel, for out of a county population
of 7,010 there were 980 of our
young men' in the' service-, which
ranks high for any county in the
United States, and he assured ve-
erans that, being' a veteran nim-
self, that h'e would look after the
interests of the veterans' if sent to
Tallahassee.
In regard to the closed season
on fishing now 'in effect, George
pointed out that the fresh water
fishing was the second largest in-
dustry in the north erid of the
county, bringing in many thou-
sands of dollars, but that i.f the
fishing season is closed here in
Gulf county and, parts of Calhoun,
Liberty and Frankln counties arm
left open that the residents of this
county who rely on income from
fishermen are deprived of revenue
while it goes to adjoining counties.
He stated! that he was, opposed to
the present 90-day closed season.
In regard, to lowering the voting
age, George said: "If a boy or girl
is old enough to serve in the
armed forces and fight for their
country, they are entitled to vo'e.
and if I am sent to the legislature
I will fight for a bill lowering the
--,oting age so that boys and girls

ernment."
In closing his talk, George said:
"I am appealing to the people or

There was no room for stowage of
extra torpedos. Sleeping quarters
were non-existent for the crew. All
avai.abl2 space was taken 'by ma-
chinery and installations of one
kind or another. The h-ull was -con-
structed of a half-inch steel plate
that would' have. been crushed iby
a depth charge detonated any-
where in 'the vicinity of the craft.
While not primarily a .suicide
craft, it had all the potentialities
of one. The submarine's only seenm-
i-i;. c ability was a slow sortie
from the shore to where our con-
voys' and task forces would at-
tempt to approach for 'bomlbard-
ment and landing of troops. If the
crew did manage to gat off its two
torpedos, they would start back to
the harbor with nothing more
than a prayer to ;protect them
from a destroyer or plane.
