Bus Companies Must
Continue Segregation
Of Whites and Negroes

Chairman E. S. Matthews of the
Florida railroad commission states
that bus companies operating In
the state "will be expected" to
continue complying with a rule re-
quiring -sepaxate seats for white
and negro passengers.
He made the apnouncement at
the end of a commission confer-
ence on what, if any effect, a U. S.
supreme court decision prohibit-
ing segregation of negroes on Vir-
ginia interstate commerce buses
would have in Florida.
"From reading newspaper at-
counts of the supreme court de-
cision in the Virginia case," he
said, "we see no reason for modi-
fying or revoking our rule."
He called attention to the rail-
road' commission's Regulation 37
which says that "separate seat',
shall be provided! (on buses) for
white an d colored passengers.
Drivers are required to bthe cour-
teous in assigning space and are
responsible for 'the convenience ot
their passengers."
"The bus companies will be t*-
pected to comply -with this rule,"
Matthews declared.
Governor Caldwell's only com-
ment on the supreme court de-
cision was, that "from the stand-
point of amicable relations be-
tween the races, I'm sorry it was
necessary for the court to rule as
it did. I do not believe it, will be
con'duicive to harmony."
Eugene Talmadsge, campaigning
for governor of Georgia, says that
if he's elected he will see to it
that all buses stop at the state
line and the passengers be re-
quired, to purchase tickets in or-
der to' cross the state.

Feeding Formula Speeds

Recovery by Transplants


Mix Fertilizer In Bottom of Hole, Then Cover With
Soil Before Transplanting.


When plants which have been
started in seed boxes or pots are
set out in the garden, the most ef-
ficient way of feeding them is to
place fertilizer where they can
reach it as soon as they begin to
grow in their new location.
It is always a shock to the plant
to move it, even if every precaution
is taken not to disturb its roots. It
must become adjusted to its new
home, and during 'the period of ad-
justment it is, so to speak, conva-
lescent. Plants are like human pa-
tients; when very young, or not so
well, they need a special diet; they
cannot eat as heartily as when
growing in full vigor.
The way to place fertilizer so
that it will not -give them indiges-
tion, before they recover from
transplanting shock, is to mix a
tablespoonful of plant food with the
soil at the bottom of the hole which
has been dug to receive the new
n':ant. After mixing throw an inch


of top soil over the bottom, so there
can be no immediate contact be-
tween the plant roots, and the
chemical, until the roots start grow-
ing.
When a pot plant is set, firm soil
well.around it, then pour on the soil
a'glass of water from a bucket into
which a handful of plant food has
been stirred. If the plant roots are
bare, pour this water over them,
then set the plant and firm the
soil around it. The small amount of
fertilizer in the water (a handful
to a full bucket) will give the plan
an immediate stimulus, which will
help it recover more quickly from
its shock.
When seeds are sown In hills, lift
soil to make a depression two
inches deep and in the bottom of it
mix a tablespoonful of plant food;
Throw in an inch of fresh soil, and
place the seed, covering it lightly
and leaving a slight depression
over it.


Food, fuel and clothing costs art
higher than ever. While many house-
hold necessities hove increased 50%
or more during the past fifteen years
the average amount you pay for do-
mestic electric service has reduced
50% in the same period. These
figures are based on annual overage
consumption of electricity


So today more than ever .....
ELECTRICITY 'S YOUR BIGGEST
BARGAIN!

Save Food Here In St.
Joe, Save Lives There

Nine ways in which housewives
of Port St. Joe *can save food to
feed the starving in other lands Is
listed) by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
In suggesting concrete ways in
'w-hich each household may assist
in accumulating the huge 'Loo0
supplies needed in the current
desperate ,world situation, the de-
partment said the needs of a wa;-
torn world for -food are so 'great
that there is no limit to the Ameri-
can food that can Ibe used to save
human life.
Main emphasis falls on the con-
servation o0t wheat, fats and oils,
it is indicated,, and the following
recommendations are made.
Cut 'down on the wastage of
bread in every 'way possible. Pres-
ent estimates are to the effect that
5 Iper cent, or one slice out of every
loaf of 'bread' baked every day,
goes into the garbage can.
Reduce the amount of bread used
at each meal through substitutes
such as potatoes 'and oat cereals.
Use fruits, 'for example, instead or
cakes and pastries ifor desserts.
By tha use of alternate foods,
use less wheat cereals for break-
fast.
Save cooking oils by making
more extensive use of meat drip-
pings ifor cooking and' seasoning
foods.
Hold -down the nu:aiber of fried
foods that are served.
Save and re-use fats andl oils for
all cooking purposes.
Hold on to bacon grease for
cooking, and render excess fats of
meats.
All fats that cannot be re-used
should :be salvaged and, turned mn
to the butcher or grocer.
Take it easy on oils and salad
dressings.

River Project May Get
More Federal Funds

Early passage in congress of a
bill authorizing $73,000.000 to be
spent for dredging and channel
work on the Apalachicola, Chatta-
hoochee and Flint rivers and for
power plants and' flood control is
anticipated'.
O,t present work has -begun with
an a'ppropriatiqn of $1,010,000 pro-
vided for in a bill passed' March 2,
1495, calling for $6,500,000 to be
spent improving navigation on the
,three rivers, and for locks and
dams at the' rivers' junctions and
at Fort Benning.
The new bill calls for construc-
tion of a hydroelectric plant at
the junction site and two more In
Georgia; construction of Buford
reservoir, which would assure an
adequate supply of water for the
Atlanta area, and for more exten-
sive dredging and channel worK.
The improvement is recommen-
ded on condition that the people
below the junction dam agree t"
furnish fiees of cost to the United
States all lands and rights-of-way
necesasry for provision and main-
tenance of the channel and agree
to provide, suitable public terminal
and transfer facilities.

Our Country "- Right or Wrong

ASKING FOR IT
President Truman's address to congress
requesting drastic emergency powers to meet
the strike crisis, hit the public consciousness
with the crushing force of a blockbuster. The
pernicious habit of looking to government
for the answers to all problems has finally
reached the logical conclusion-a crisis that
the president felt only ruthless dictatorial au-
thority could cope with.
Few noted the significant request that was
included in thle president's appeal for author-
ity to seize industries and draft workers into
the army-he asked immediate renewal of
price control without qualification or amend-
ment.
He could do nothing else. If the government
has complete power over the working people
it must also have complete power over all
else. And by the same token if it has com-
plete power over the industries and business,
.of the country under the authority of the OPA
it must have complete power over the work-
ers. In this case it makes no difference
whether the egg or the hen comes first-lib-
erty as we have known it will be lost.
The only wonder is that governmeent by
bayonet did nit-appear before this.,The whole
country has been asking for it. It is the in-
evitable end in any nation where people im-
pose upon their government responsibility
for their economic welfare. We are now apt
the point where we must decide whether we
want dictatorship with its spurious security,
or liberty with the inevitable risks as well as
opportunities it entails.

WAR'S INHERITANCE
With society persisting in a constant cycle
of reactions, the power ,of subconscious sug-
gestion and mimicry remains one of man-
kind's greatest afflictions. (Ain't that para-
graph a dilly? We didn't know it was going
to sound so grandiloquent and pedantic. until
we sat down to the linotype to set it up.)
Consequently, today we see patterns of the
recent past recurring in the deceiving guise
of newness. We refer to the mounting march
of labor under a dictatorial impulse which Is
both totalitarian and an inheritance from war.
By this we mean that America organized
her pooled manpower in a defensive sense tb
meet the pooled power of an aggressive peo-
ple, and the result was an inheritance of some-
thing like fascism in reverse. Instead of labor
organized,: under dictatorial prerogative, we
now find labor itself organized as a dictator
along plainly fascistic lines.


The Low Down
from
Willis Swamp

Editor The Star:
You know, you don't find nobody
much who's concerned or excited
about Socialism. It's seepin' in at
all the cracks and Senator 'Claud-
ius Pepper is one o' the biggest
advocates of it, (but nobuddy alerts
hisself. Talk to 'em about it and
they'll look outen the window-or


THEY'VE SMARTENED UP
Wives used to serve hot biscuits at every
nmeal--and fried chicken for breakfast on Sun-
days. Now you're lucky if they remember to
get a loaf of bread at the store, and chances
are that Sunday morning breakfast will be a
mess of sawdust cereal and a cuppa coffee,
and you may have to fix that yourself.
They used to get up with the birds, chop
wood. start the fire under the pot in the back
yard and do a family's week's washing in one
day. ironing it all before'noon next day. Now
they sit around and blame the laundry while
the dirty clothes pile up chin high.
They used to make all the clothing for a
whole family, including dresses and pants and
shirts for a flock that might run from six to
ten kids, and they also had an eagle eye out
for any patches in pa's pants or shirts, not to
mention making their own house and party
dresses. Now they sit around and holler at
the drygoods merchants and the mail order
houses because tihe dratted OI'A makes it
hard to buy just what they want just when
they want it
Thev used to make a year's supply of laun-
dry soap and store it away. Now they, sit
close to the radio, listening to the latest soap
operas and bemoaning the fact that they don't
have any Supersuds or Chipso to wash the
dishes-or maybe. only a package or two.
They used to make bang-up country dinners
on old-fashioned wood stoves, and have plenty
time out for social calling. Now it tires them
out to take a meal out of a can and warm it
on an electric stove.
They used to have one a year, following
the old dictum of being fruitful and populat- i
ing the earth, and thought nothing of it-but c
now they have one or two in a lifetime, and C
some have none, while those who do have a s
couple act like they have really contributed
to the human race.
On top of all this, they used to raise a t
couple of hundred chickens as a sideline tor
pin money, milk a cow, and gro.w a home gar-
den while pa did the'serious business of plow-
i-in-a-nd they seemed to have plenty of time
to sit on the porch in the afternoon in rockers
and sew and gossip. Now if one exerts her-
self to cultivate some geraniums she has to
take a couple hours rest from her "gardening."
What's the matter with women? The an-
swer, of course, is: "Nothing. They're won-
derful. But, my, how they"ve smartened up."
--Stuart News.

We see where the International Society for
the Preservation and Encouragenaent of Bar-
ber Shop Quartet Singing- In America, Inc.,
is holding- a series of contests in various cities
to discover the champion quartet. It sounds
like good entertainment. Why couldn't a lo-
cal contest be organized in Port St. Joe, with
quartets from the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Cltib,
American Legion and, M'asonic lodge? The
competition could.be open to the public, with
the audience acting as judge.

Looks like it will be a mistake to remove
OPA price control. In all instances whce'e
control has been removed. prices have sky-
rocketed. Take watermelons and shrimp, for
instance. And there was the case of removal
of rent controls in Sarasota, where rentals
immediately doubled and tripled.

DBrucedols Preventie
A Upeclal committee on brucello-
sis of the Illinois State Veterinary
Medical association says, "Calf-
hopd vaccination, with or without
complete testing of the herd, is not
being adopted as a substitute
measure for good herd management
and sanitation. It is now generally
recognized as the foundation upon
which a program for the ultimate
control of brucellosis can be built."


Scenic Advantages Of
Waterways Should Be
Considered, Says Editor

The scenic advantages of the
waterways to be constructed un-
der the proposed Florida water
conservation and flood control
plan are given too little attention,
in the opinion, of Merrick M. Hill,
editor of the Kissimniee Gazette.
While the prime purpose of the
plan is to protect cattlemen, cit-
rus growers and farmers of Cen-
tral Florida from extremes of wa-
ter levels, the 12-foot canals' of the
plan would give small boats an
opportunity to explore virtually
unknown jungle territory in Cen-
tral Florida.
Under the proposed plan, Titus-
ville would be connected with Kis-
simmee by a canal which would
give small boat owners a close-up
pof the calm, mystic St. Johns
marsh. From Ocala would come
another canal that would) take the
craft through a veritable fairyland
of citrus.
A 12-foot channel from Kissinm-
mee through the Kissimmee river
valley would enable marine tourists
to return 'to the days of the Cosi
quistadors. Reedy Creek swamp
with its marvelous stand of cy-
press would be just one stopping
point on a cruise through the na-
tion's "last frontier."

Strikes Slowing Florida
Power Expansion Plan

The Florida Power Corporation's
rive-year $20.000.000 expansion pro-
gram announced some months ago,
is hitting s'naigs in construction
caused to a.,large extent iby strikes
in plants producing equipment es-
sential to the utility's program.
!R. G. Porter, local manager for
Florida Power, commented on the
gloomy picture by saying: "The
Strikes that have gripped the na-
tion since January have slowed
down production to such an -extent
that orders placed, today would, in
.most cases, not be -filled for al-
most a year.
"Fortunately, in anticipation of
our expansion plans, we began or-
dering new equipment during the
closing months of the war and, as
a result, are receiving shipments
of essential items, but these are
entirely inadequate to meet our
full requirements."
In explaining the needs for the
a idddtional generating -and trans-
mission requirements of the area
served by Florida Power, Porter
went on to say: "The present neea
for' expansion is based, on many
factors. New construction was
slowed during tho war years, ana
the unprecedented, growth of Flor-
ida is necessitating additional fa-
'ilities. It is also our desire to
reduce operating expenses by con-
structing modern generating sta-
tions to replace or augment pres-
ent facilities for possible further
deductions s in rate charges.
"Every effort is being made to
extend service to those requesting
it."'' concluded Porter. "We are
most anxious to make electrical
service available to all, and wilJ
continue to expend every effort
to accomplish this end,."

The tips of a propeller at top
speed often surpass the speed of

Ber t Cox sacrificed to advance
,Hannon to second; Hinote was'

cheered wildly as Belin came to
-bat-but he was out on a long fly.
Seven men came to bat for the
Spartans. in the last of the second,
but only one managed to cross
home plate, tying the score 3 3.
Weeks led off for St. Joe in the
third, getting to first as the se.-
ond baseman fumbled his liner.
Herring beat his bunt to first and
,Weeks went on to third. Hannon

left field, 'bringing in Weeks ana
Herring. Cox was out on a short
bhit to third, but Hannon came in;
'Hinote was safe on a hit to short,
Burke was out on a high fly to
left field, and the side was re-
tired as Jackson hit a slow roller
and Hinote was caught at second.
Panama almost tied the score
again by shoving over two runs.

note was out on a fly to second.
The Spartans likewise added two

ifice, a two-lbase hit to left field
'and a hot liner thronigh first.
Neither team scored in the fifth,
-tnd Pari:a'a City took the lead 9-8
n the sixth as, they chalked up
two runs an3,' the Saints failed to
score.
The 'big break came in the lucky
seventh to tie up the ball game tor
St. Joe. McCall led, off, hitting In
,H1inote's place, getting to first on
a hit to right field; Burke sacri-
ficede to advance: McCall, but Mc-
Call tried to take two and was
put out when he got in a hotbox.
Jackson and MTtchell both got on l
'and the pitcher deliberately walked
Belin to load the bases. Weeks


socked a sizzler through first, ana
Jackson and Mitchell came in, Be-
lin going '-to third'. The Spartan
-atcher gave us a run when he en-
deaviored' to catch Weeks stealing
second, allowing Belin to come in
'from third). Herring got a three-
ibagger on a long fly to right field,
'bringing 'in Weeks. Hannon hit a
hot one through short to bring In
Herring from third, for the fifts
tally, and, the batting spree ended
as Cox made the third out.
Ralph Swatts relieved Hinote on
the mound in the last of the
seventh, but was yanked by Man-
ager Richard Porter after he haus
walked the first three men, Lefty
Thomas taking over the hurling.
Thomas got his three men out,lbut
only after two runs had crossed
the plate to-' cut the score down
to 13-11 'in favor of St. Joe, 'but
it didn't matter, as neither team
-nade a counter in the eighth and
ninth innings.
