THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center Interest Lagging In Election With But 4 Days To Primary Junior Chamber Of Commerce Is 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 dues were, set at 50 cents per month, membership dating from May 1. The second ,meeting of the or- ganization was held last Monday night, with 35 members present. At this time the following were named to the board of directors, such term to run for one year: J. C. Belin, M. C. Edwards, Franklin Jones, A. L. Schneider and Norris McCollum. .President Moore appointed a committee on rules and' by-laws headed by Jake Belin, to draw up the'-constitution and by-laws, which Continued' on .page 8) 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. Here From Wewa 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 (Continued on Page 4) Taking In Derby Basil E. Kenney and' Carl Kelly, left Tuesday for Kentucky where B.

BE SURE TO VOTE Don't fail to cast youi' ballot at time primary election next Tuesday. If you are a qualified elector and tail to use your voting i.rerogative, don't go around yelping about who goes into office. Voters in. Port St. Joe north of Fifth Street will cast their ballots at the city hall. Election officers are J. S. Shirey, W. T. Chafin and Mrs. Eduna Ward, inspectors; Mrs. W. M. Howell, clerk. , Voters south of Fifth Street to the Franklin county line, will cast their ballots at the county health unit building on Sixth Street. In charge of the polls wil1 tbe Mrs. George Wimiberly, Alton Dendy and Miss Juanita Gunn, inspect- ors; Byron Eells, Jr., clerk. The polls will be open from 7 a. mi, to 7 p. m., in con'foriniity with a ruling by the state attorney gen- eral. l IIIH I(!llIIll llll llll llltl-ti l ]| ll |]|llitl||i'JI.l|| 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 has 'been pastor in charge of thp Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka Presbyterian Ohurches for a num- ber of years past, last Sunday de- 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. BUYS INTEREST IN GRILL E. C.

The prize, a box of candy, went to Jack Mahon and Wanda Spencer. who had 50 varieties on their list. The door prize, another box of candy, was .won by Howard: Kelly. The group then shoved off to the, home of Mrs. Gale Traxler. where dinner was served, consist- ing of baked' ham, string beans, candied sweet potatoes and pine- apple souffle. While at the Trax- ler's the piano was played and an, attempt at harmonizing made. The diners then progressed to Mrs. T. McPhaul's, where they partook. of potato salad and e- licious iced tea. A further attempt at harmonizing was made here. SThe final stop was at the Cen- tennial Building, where Mrs.F. R. Minus served, lemon pie for des- sert.

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.

Ow Cemtry Right or Wreat 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. In a few years we'll be hearing Europ, say- ing to flhe United States: "I. O. U.- and let's see you get it."

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% per cent. It has not been possible 'vs3 :t^or the, state to. reduce its bonded debt faster because the state fol- Don't worry.

EDITOR tillIHlulllllllilll iiiiillg ilmillilinllHNI lIIIIIiHilt 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. CHARLES H.

But since the company hai come here the town' has pros. ered and you people who -are lis- tening to me have prospered, too.

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 .of 18.,will have a says in, our gov-. ernment."
