Memorial Service

Is Held By Legion

Dead of World Wars I and II Re-
membered At Ceremony
Last Evening

Honoring the memory of thost
men from Gulf county who made
the supreme sacrifice in Worldt
Wars I and II, a Memorial Day
service was held in, the high school
auditorium last evening under di-I
rection of Willis V. Rowan Post


116 American Legion. George Tap-
per acted, as master of ceremonies. |
The program opened with the I
high school, band playing "Atmei-
ica," during which the colors were
advanced, and placed on each side
of the stage.
The invocation was given by R.
F. Halflord, followed with a, nDum-
ber of patriotic selections by the
])and and a vocal 'solo, "My
Buddyy" by Marigene Taunton.
J. D. Lane, the new post com-
mander, then introduced the Rev.
G. Elton Sauls,, pastor of the Pan-
amia City and. Port St. Joe Episco-
pal churches, who delivered a
stirring memorial for the honored
dead'.
The most impressive part of the
ceremony was the roll call by the
master of cerelfonies of members
of the Legion post and- men o'f Gulf
county who had made the supreme
sacrifice. As the last name was
called a bugler softly played
"Taps."
The service was concluded by
the band playing the national an-'
them, as the audience stood,- and
the benediction was asked by Rev.
Hallford.

Public Is Cautioned

Against Hysteria

In Regard To Polio

State Health Officer Points Out
That Calmness On Part of
Public Is Important

The public was, cautioned by the
state board of health this week
against polio hysteria. Infantilt-
paralysis is on the upswing in Flor-
ida and every known physical pre-
'aution is ,being urget.
However. Dr. Wilson T. Sowder,
state health officer, pointed our.
that calmness on the part of th,'
public, is also an important factor.
Don't quote "they say." Do not re-
peat rumors about the supposed
increase in cases. Do not repeat
the word "epidemic"-at no plac
in the state has the disease yet
reached epidemic proportions, but
the word itself tends to carry a
crtsiin paralyzing fear.
Compared with other far more
"killing" diseases accepted with
certain complacency in Florida,
and most of which are prevent-
able, ponio is 'way down the list.
"Because it is primarily a crip.
pling disease, and usually attacks
children and also because its
devastating results are continu-

In another one .of those terrible

and che-w their fingernails, Port
St. Joe and Apalachicola Went to
a 5 5 tie in a 10-inning game neru

these two teams in the Gulf Coast

NATION BUNGLES FINAL ACT
All America, from labor to industrialist to
legislator,, has bungled the setting for tne
final act in a tragedy that could have had,
and should have had, a happier ending.
The curtain blanked out the climax-let's
hope for good-last summer. It brought much
cheering, celebrating and lots of short-lived
enthusiasm for the happy return of our war-
riors to their homes.
Then it seemed only a matter of days when
the nation began forgetting (and, we're very
sorry to say, Port St. Joe can be included in
that statement) started demanding, every-
thing on a peacetime and prosperity basis-
became intolerant of shortages mainly affect-
ing civilian consumption and needs-figured
that peace was here quicker than you can
say the word, and lost sight of the gigantic
job of reconverting industry, helping the
former to feed the world's hungry and fig-
ured that all "the boys" would be happy in
the sole delight of once again placing foot on
American soil.
In short, the nation has been selling its
warriors short, and its men in high places
have bee farfrom exemplary in th'eirlefforjts
to set the wheels in motion so that this na-
tion could quickly become "home" with a
happy atmosphere in every sense of the word
for "the 'boys" and every other citizen. We
can say that Port St. Joe 'is redeeming itself
in this respect with the "on-the-job" veteran
training program worked out by County Serv-
ice Officer W. H. Linton in co-operation with
local concerns which is taking care of a lot of
returning service men and giving them an op-
portunity to learn trades and businesses.
But to get back tothe national picture, de-
mands have been constantly clashing witn
demands in labor-management disputes, which
we do not have to enumerate since all of us
know of them, with little evidence of patriotic

willingness to compromise,,let us say again,
for "the boys" on either side.
We are restless for lack of unity of action,
and honest patriotic action in a phase of Am-
erican life which is every bit as important as
our war effort because it means a new begin-
ning in the lives of those who had seen long
years of a greater restlessness. It is this rest-
lessness, long exposed to the ruthless tactics
of war, which may one day rise to meet the
careless, selfish dawdling and wrangling of
the men in high places and the forgetting pub-
lic unless they begin to show some honest and
whole-hearted appreciation of our victory and
those who won it.

BLACK MARKETING HITS YOUTH
Price control or no price control, America
appears to be faced with the prospect of the
black market racket hanging to the national
economy like a leech for years to come unless
it is attacked now with an attitude of "this
is war."
The racket is now reaching the proportions
of the greatest national "snake in the grass"
in American history and those who patronize
it, are playing with a poison that will strike
home with a later crippling effect on the pur-
chasing power of their dollar. /
New York has reported black market op-
erations which are taking pennies from chil-
dren's pockets while honest merchants in
many cities are feeling its effect to the ex-
tent of demanding more effective government
action.
A New York newspaper reports that the
city's children are paying from 200 to 1000
per cent over the regular price of one cent
for bubble gum. This appears like a harmless
racket, at first glance, but it is not always
- easy to tell where such price boosts originate.
it is reported ,that some of the merchants
have been selling thle gum on a tie-in basis,
forcing the youngsters to buy a nickel's worth
of candy before they were permitted to buy
their favorite gum. We haven't heard of any
stores in Port St. Joe using these tactics, but
we do know of at least one young boy who
was buying up quantities of bubble gum at
one cent and reselling it at five cents when
stocks were depleted-a practice which looks
to us like an early lesson in black marketing.
The New York paper also reported that a
representative of one of the bubble gum con-
cerns said that he knew of the/racket, which
he called the "pink market." Such sales of
the gum, le said, have been reported through-
out 'the nation, and he cited instances where
it had been sold for as high as 50 cents.

One thing we can say for scarce commodi-
ties, there's no closed season on 'em and we
can hunt 'em without a license.

THANKS
We wish to thank everyone who
helped make Poppy Day the suc-
cess it was-the committee, who
worked so willingly selling the pop-
ies; the merchants who ,gave 'dis-
play space in, their windows; the
ladies who loaned baskets for dis-
play purposes; The Star for the
publicity andi the handsome win-
'dow cards; Mayor Horace Soule
for his proclamation; and& last, but
not least, the public which gave so
generously.
We feel sure everyone who pur-
chased and wore a poppy had a
feeling of pride in knowing they
had helped s9lme disabled veteran.
and above all, in showing they "re-
member" those who gave their
lives for freedom and democracy.

We don't remember exactly how
the subject came up, but George
Johnson and Ye Ed began remin-
escing the other day about when
it was the custom to go out when
they were kid's and pick up a hen
or two or me hbe a couple or three
watermelons. George related homw
his mother used to lock up her
choicest hens when she suspected
that he and his friends were con-
templating a chicken fry, and, we
told' George how our grandmother
said she didn't mind if we took a
young rooster or two, but she'd
scalp us if we touched her laying
hens. We could. probably
have had the chickens for the ask-
ing, but they tasted so much better
when we sneaked up in the dark
and' removed 'em from the roost.
And a guy really had to be. good
to snatch 'em off without raising a
fuss. Them wuz the days.
If Jake Belin continues to um-
pire games he'd better get a pair
of pants with larger pockets or
else grease 'em. It took five min-
utes, to get the balls out of his hip
pockets when needed, with both he
and the catcher tugging. .
And, too, he probably won't wear
a wrist -watch again while umping,
for his got whanged by a foul tip
Sunday afternoon and it took him
quite a time to find all the pieces.

to the hearts of youngsters has
skyrocketed.
Looks like the kids will have to
get together' and form some sort
of union and then call a strike, as
is being done every day all over
the nation, for those who receive
say 25 cents per week for raking
the yard, running errands, wiping
the dishes and; such chores are
finding it an impossibility to make
their stipends' stretch to. cover
their desires.
It seems only fair that their al-
lowances should! be increased, for
we all know that if they are re-
ceiving the same amount as they
lid five years augo, it will only buy
about half as much.
We find that jelly beans, once
10 cents a pound have jumped to
60c (When available), which is
about three for a penny. The bal-
loons that used to sell for a penny
are now 10 cents, and the big 10-
ceat ones are now 25 cents.
It used, to be that no small, girl
was a member of the elite unless
she had, a. handful .of shiny metal
jacks, an'd' a bouncy rubber ball;
now the jacks: are plastic, and one
7-year-old informs us that it is ex-
tremely difficult to do foursies and
fivesies with the light jacks and
a ball' that barely gets off the
'loo'r.*
That 'cowboy pistol so essential
to the well-ibeing of any young
Dead Eye Dick, is now made of
fiber or plastic and costs more
than the pre-war metal replica.
, However, there are a couple of
bright spots on the kiddies' nori-
zon. The yo-yo, standard equip-
ment in 'most any kid's pocket, is
still only a dime, though only halt

Scout Summer Camp
Will Open June 23

Port St. Joe Boy Scouts, are
looking forward with anticipation
to summer camp that opens June
23, according to Scoutmaster J. T.
Simpson.
Twelve new life rafts have been
added to the 14 boats in use last
year, and scoutmasters may take
their Scouts on overnight cruises
and hikes away from the camp
area.
A well-rounded: program of ac-
tivities is being planned, including.
an archery range where Scouts can
learn to use the hbow and arrow.
Scouts learn the democratic way


of life through these camping ex-
periences, Mr. Simpson .points out,
and he hopes that every Scout in
Port St. Joe will have the oppor-
tunity to spend at' least one weeK
in this camp if he is to realize the
most from his scouting experience,

Visit In Pensacola
Ensign and Mrs. I. K. Chambers
of Panama City, Mrs. B. H. Smith
and Mrs. Ella Chafin of St. Joe
were visitors last Saturday in Pen-
sacola.

Haiwaii, which desires to be ad-
mitted to statehood, has approxi-
mately 500,000 population and
pays more federal taxes than any
one of some 14 states.

D. D.T.,"Used Early, Kills

Garden Pests from Ambush


Spraying and dusting the garden
in time to preyent damage, which
is the right way, will be much fB.
cilitated by the peculiar nature oi
D. D. T., the new insecticide, which
promises to be a boon to amateur;.
and to be plentiful this year.
D. D. T. is different in action
from the older contact insecticides
and stomach poisons. Insects had
to be hit by the contact pocisonr.
and it was not easy to hit leaf
hoppers, for example, which
swarmed up and flew away v.hen
you- approached the plants they,
were destroying. Stomach poison.?
only affected insects which ate
'plant tissues, and left the juice
drinkers unharmed.
But= D. D. T. gets both kinds, by
contact; only instead of hitting the
insect direct it lies waiting on the
1l5ant until the insects walk over it.
then with deadly effect it striker.
through the feet of the prowler. Tl-,-
"residue" may remain suffic enr tly
on the plant for days, or monthi,
depending on its strength in the
first place, and, its exposure to sun-
shine and rain, both of which short-
en the toxic period. But in any c a.--.
it remains effective far longer than
the older poisons, requiring fev.'er
applications.
A review of reports made by
state experiment stations show the
following garden insects which are
immune to the new killer: Red
spider; Mexican bean beetle, and
"some aphids."
The insects.against which i: w\as
said to be more effective than older
materials included cabbage worn'i-.
European corn borer, pea and po
tato aphids, leaf hoppers cf ail
kinds, the codling moth, canker
worm, gypsy moths, Japanese.
beetles and the bark beetles which
transmit the Dutch elm disease.
There are so many different kinds
of aphids, that it will take a long
time to determine just which ones
succumb to D. D. T. and which do
not. Meanwhile the home gardener
can use rotenone, which kills them
all. It mixes well with D. D. T.
Fungicides also may be combined
with D. D. T. without lessening the
effectiveness of either.
D. D. T. is harmless to users, ac-
cording to these reports, except
when combined with oil, and then
reasonable precautions make it
safe. The 'lormi m-ost recommend-

worth after five men had got on
base and Bennie Burke and Frank
Hannon had crossed home plate.
The fourth found no scoring, but
in the fifth St. Joe added three
more to the score to make it 5 -1.
The tallies were made by Tommy
Mitchell, Elmore Godfrey and! Dal-
las Weeks.
The Oystermen rallied in tae

No scoring was: done ,in the
seventh, and' Apalach tied the score

Owens yanked, Swatts at this point
and sent in Lefty Thomas. Again
the Saints failed to score.
The ninth saw goose eggs, marK-
ed up for both teams, and the tilt
went into the tenth as darkness
began, to fall.
The Oystermen had a runner on
third' in this inning, but he failed
to come in.
'The Saints likewise had an op--


portunity to break the deadlock In
this frame. Burke, the first mail
up, was safe at first on a high fly,
that was muffed as three Apalachi-
cola players endeavored to field! it.
Harden hit through third, for a one-
bagger and' Burke went to second.
Hannon sacrificed to place Burke
in a position to score and Harden
on second ,base. Cox retired the.
side when he hit a high bunt down
the third base line which was
caught and Burke and Hardena
both tagged as they started for
home and third respectively..
At this point Umipire 'Belin called
the game on, account of darkness.

Dust or spray your plants before
insects damage them.
ed for garden use is a dust, from
3 to 10 per cent in strength, or a
wettable dust which can be used
for spraying, when mixed with wa-
ter. Most of the garden tests were
made with dusts.
Of the older insecticides which
D. D. T. threatens to displace, the
chief one is arsenate of lead, which
is more poisonous than the new ma-
terial both to humans, and to bees.
Some experimenters think that
D. D. T. will replace all forms of
arsenic, especially, .on ppt toe..p.
