THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME IX PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1946 NUMBER 39 Fund Drive For Children's Home Off to Good Start Local Committee, Making House- to-House Canvass, Reports $274 Received The local drive for fund's for the new Crippled, Children's Home ot ,West Florida is off to a good start with $274 already collected by the! committee, and it is hoped the en- tire quota of $800 will be collected I in a short time. i The committee tn charge of the; drive consists of Mrs. A: L. Wara, chairman'; Mrs. Robert Tappot, Mrs. D. B. Lay, Mrs. B. E. Kenney, Mrs. C. G. Costin, Mrs. Howard Taunton, Mrs. Jesse Stone, Mra. W. H. Howell, Mrs. Harry Mc- Knight and Mrs. Ralph Swatts, and these workers are contacting bust- ness house and civic organizations as well as making a house-to-house canvass of the city. Everyone is urged to give and to give generously to this cause, as an adequate crippled children's home is one of the greatest needs of West Florida. At the recent crippled children's ,clinic held here by the American Legion, 42 children were in at- tendance, 13 of whom were sent to the crippled children's home at Pensacola for treatment. The fact that there are at least 42 crippled children in this section should make us, realize the great need for a well-equipped and modern hos- pital in this section of- the state for their care. The present home is inadequate. It is small, having but four bed- rooms, and, is poorly equipped. The new hospital is to be as fine as money can 'buy, staffed with the best available doctors and nurses and supplied, with the best In fur- niture and equipment. So everyone is urged to be as generous as possible with their contributions to this worthy cause. Floyd Lister Named As County Red Cross Head At the annual meeting of the Gulf County OChapter, American Red Cross, Floyd C. Lister of We- wahitchka was unanimously se- lected as the new chairman, suc- ceeding E. L. Hobaugh of the St. Joe Paper Company. Mr. Lister is well known in Port St. Joe and is a former county commissioner. The selection was a popular one and predictions were 'freely made for a successful year under his leadership. Other officers named were E. L. Hobaugh, vice-chairmaan; M. G. Brock, treasurer, and Thos. R. L. Carter, executive secretary.

City To Pay Accounts of Municipal Hospital At a recent meeting of the city commission all outstanding, ac- counts of the Port St. Joe muncl- pal hospital were assumed by the city. In a letter to those having past due accounts against the hospital, Mayor H. W. Soule hadl this to say, i'n part: "In the past the city has endea- vored to keep the municipal hos, pital entirely separate from city affairs. It was the desire of all that it would operate within its is- come. "Due to war conditions, prices, labor shortages, nursing service, etc., it had quite an obstacle to overcome, as you know., Lalbor costs and nursing salaries have been the one factor in running Its operating costs above its income. "February 1 of 1946 the opera- tion of the hospital was given to Mrs. Ralph Thompson, a very cap- able person. Any and all accounts from that date have been and will be paid monthly.

For the first time in five years, America will be at peace on the day dedicated to her independence an indepen- ence just eraffirmed and strengthened in the costliest and bloodiest test in her history. It should be a great day. It can be a great day-if it is a day of sane and oyful thanksgiving that the courage and resolution of the United States have once again kept -her free from tyranny. But it 'will be a -tragic day if-as has hap- pened so often in the past-hundreds die of accidents due to carelessness. Many WILL die--but let us endeavor to see that none die here in Port St. Joe. National Safety Council records show that last July 8,700 persons were killed in acci- dents, a large number of them as a result of the Independence Day celebration. Perhaps it is even more significant today to remember 1941 and our last peacetime July. That month brought 9,700 accidental deaths. Peace brought an end to killing only on the, battlefield. Since V-J Day the accident toll' has skyrocketed to near-record highs-up 44 per cent in traffic alone. Why? , The reasons are natural. Plenty of gas and more leisure. Release from restraint and re-- strictions. No wartime patriotic urge. A long- deferred desire to blow off steam- with a little fun and relaxation. Add to that worn-out cars and tires, de- teriorated highways, a carefree spirit that too often becomes a careless spirit, and you have a dark prospect for. this Fourth of July and the entire vacation season. The tragic and ironic part of it is that so many Americans, after sacrificing and risking so much to preserve life and freedom, will lose it irrevocably and needlessly in a moment of carelessness. 0 It's a plain, simple fact that 8,000 to 10,000 of us will be killed in July accidents this year, unless we do something about it. If enough people recognize the fact that accidents can and do happen to anyone, not just to an un- known John Jones, then the July toll could be cut down considerably. Let's celebrate the Fourth this year in the true spirit. Let's make it a joyous holiday here in Port St. Joe, dedicated to the freedom of our country, bearing in mind that a num- ber of our young men gave their lives in the war just ended that we might retain that freedom. And let's make that freedom a re- ality by avoiding accidents that threaten to rob many Americans of their precious and hard-won heritage So have fun on the Fourth --but be alive on the Fifth! STRIKE VARIATION England's houeswives are "organized,"' and they continue to plan a strike for, not higher wages, but just wages. This looks as if they were putting a rather small cart before a highly necessary horse. How are they going to grade their pay- scale? Few newly-married housewives really earn the wages that are earned, if not re- ceived, by the housewife who has been cook- ing and cleaning for' ten years. Does the rich man's spouse deserve as much pay as the poor mnan's? aPerhaps the answers are buried in the breast of the leader of this British House- wives Union. She is a daughter of the late Elinor Glyn, novelist. None of Mrs. Glyn's 1-'her:.i ne, ever developed dishpan hands.-The Bangor (Me.) Daily News.

County Health Officer Gives i Symptoms of Polionyelitis Dr. Terry Bird, county health ot- ficer, states that the number of cases of infantile paralysis con- tinues to slowly increase in Flor- ida. Therefore it is well to know what the symptoms of poliomyeli- tis are. It is an acute infection begin- ning usually with moderate fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleep- lessness or drowsiness irritabil- iy, pain over the body, s.iffness ot neck and spine, and paralysis. Any or all of these symptoms may ibe absent and only. the par- alysis be present--only a very small percentage of all casess show any paralysis. However, when par- alysis does. occur, it miy be sud- den and' .cause death within a few hours of onset without any other clearcut symptoms. CONTROL OF FEC (Continued from Page 1) mission reopened the case, at the insistence of Senator Pepper, ano permitted the Atlantic Coast Line to file its plan. At hearings in Washington anc in Florida this question was dis- cussed: Should' the reorganized company be operated independently under control of the St. Joe Paper Company or be unified with aun operated' by the Atlantic Coast Line? Examiner Jewell in his report said the commission should finct that: 1. A merger of the East Coast with the Coast Line "would result in no appreciable improvement in -transportation service to the pub- lic as compared with such service under independent operations." 2. "The eventual savings from such a merger would not be sucil as to warrant consideration ot them as a controlling factor and would be realized only ;by having an immediately adverse effect upon the city of St. Augustine and sur- rounding territory." *13. "The predominate sentiment of residents, shippers and com- niunities on the east coast of Flor- ida in the territory served by the Florida East Coast is in favor of independent operation of the rail- road." 4. "A merger of the East Coast with the Atlantic Coast Line Is not necessary to assure the future financial stability of the East Coast or continued adequate, economical and efficient service, and the na- ture of the holdings, management and affiliations of the St. Joe Pa- per Company is not such as to pre- clude it as a proper party to con- trol the railroad's property." MULES PULLED FIRST TRAIN IN FLORIDA The first railroad in Florida came into being during the year 1836 when 22 miles of railroad be- tween Tallahassee and Port Leon began operations with mules sup- plying the motive 'power. Feeling that the initial trip over the Tallahassee Pail Road, as the line was called, deserved the pomp and' ceremony befitting such a momentous event,' local ofliciW. dom and, divers citizens turned out en masse all along the route. The maiden run was success- fully launched from Tallahassee and, all went well until the mules balked five miles outside of Port Leon. The stubborn critters just sat down in the middle of the track nor could the frantic "engineer" budge them. 'The "run"' was fi- nally completed by using a pair of 'orrowd drait horses. We never heard what happened to the mules. Seven states and possessions of the United States provide life Im- prisonment as the extreme pen- alty for murder. ARMY WILL DISCHARGE SOME MEN WITH 21 MONTHS SERVICE The war department has author- ized, commanders in the U. S. to discharge as surplus non-volunteer enlisted men with over 21 months' service, and' has ordered the re- turn from overseas theaters of non-volunteer enlisted fathers and men with 21 months' service or more, in the order of length of service.

And, apparently the Record was right, for there were numerous arguments. and raw de- cisions by the one Blountstown umpire, who either didn't know a thing about baseball or was out to win 'by an-y means. How- ever, the Saints took the long end of a 10 to 3 score. The Buccaneers started off with a hang, getting two runs in the first inning, much to the satisfac- tion of the Blountstown rooters, while the Saints made but one as Alton Dendy and Leonard Bellih came in on a liner through short by Frank Hannon. The visitors ad- mnitted Dendly was safe, but won an argument frqon Manager Rich Porter that Belin's run did not 2ount. Neither team scored in the sec- ond frame, but the Saints took the lead in the third with three runs when Tommy Mitchell' made two bags on a.short hit 'and. an overthrow at first, Belin was walked, Hannon hit thru short to bring in Mitchell, and Belin and Hannon came home, on a two-base hit to centerfield by John. Lane. Letty Thomas, who hurled the full nine innings for the Saints In spite of a badly swollen arm and against his doctor's orders, tight- ened up and held the Buccaneers scoreless until the ninth, when they shoved over one run, while the Saints marked up one run in the fourth, one in the fifth, one in the sixth and three in the seventh for their 10-run total.
