Seven-Inning Tilt

With Mullets Won

By St. Joe 22 To 5

'Saints Go On Hitting Spree In Re-
turn Game Played Wednesday
On Carrabelle Field

The St. Joe Saints, apparently
smarting from the near-defeat in
the game played here Sunday wilth
the Carrabelle Blue Mullets, went
on a rampage in the return game
played Wednesday at the Cai-:A-
'belle ball park and handed the
O'fullets a 22-5 drubbing in a
game played in a steady drizzle
that was finally called in the
seventh.
The Shints put the game on ice
in the first inning by chalking up
eight runs and spread, the balance
of their 14 tallies over the remain-
ing six frames. Alton Dendy and
John Lane led the hit parade with
three out of four times at bat, Lane
getting two three-baggers, with
Dendy driving in six runs on his
three bingles.
Lefty Thomason held the mound
for St. Joe and gave up but seven
hits as his team mates nicked the
Carrabelle hurler for 16 hits, 8
'bases on balls and four batsmen
hit by the pitcher.
-The Apalachicola Blountstown
game was rained out, while the
Panama City Spartans took the
Wewahitchka 'Gators 5 to 4.

Sees Cheap Power In
Chattahoochee Dam

,Construction of)'P b.. tl~ niC.
producing dam -near Chattahoo-
chee would provide "low cost re-
liable power, over- a statewide
hookup," Fred Ellit, secretary to
the trustees of Florida's Internal
Improvement Fund, said.
The project has been included
in a $1,000,000,000 rivers and har-
bors bill approved by congress.
The 'bill carries no appropria-
tion. Congress must vote. funds
for the many projects authorized
by the measure before construc-
tion can begin. .
Elliot said the River Junction
dam would prevent "damaging!
and costly floods" and conserve:
water for domestic uses and agrl-i
cultural purposes. The d'am would!
be located where the Flint and
Chattahoochee rivers unite to form
the Apalachicola.
Elliot reported the dam would
not impede the flow of the Ap-
alachicola and would be provided
with locks to 'permit the passage
of river traffic. The project would
deepen the Apalachicola Chatta-
hoochee-Flint waterway to nine
feet through erection of the River
Junction dam and three others to
be locafid at Columbia, Ala., Bu-
ford, Ga. and Columbus, Ga. Total
cost of the four-dam project was
set at $73,361,000.

men would, be required to form a
unit and that he did not believe
this city had the necessary popu-
lation to form a company. Reply of
the mayor, we have been told, was
that he thought differently, and
that the. matter will be discussed
locally.
Active recruiting for the reacti-
vated national guard, which prob-
ably will include two infantry regi-
ments. two field artillery battalions
andf anti-aircraft and coast artillery
units, will begin about August I,
and the units probably will be mus-
tered into the federal service by
September 1.
The advisory board of the Guard
has made the following r'ecommen-
dations t:. G.:.veraor Caldwell:. ,

That the 211th Infantry Regi-
ment be assigned to South Florida
counties.
That the 116'Th Field Artillery
Battalion be reactivated with head-
quarters in Tampa.
That the 149th Field Artillery
Battalion 'be assigned to various
towns in Polk county.
That units of two anti-aircraft
battalions and of a coast artillery
battalion ibe scattered throughout
the state, as may be decided later.
Tampa, Orlando. St. Petersburg,
Jacksonville and Tallahassee are
being considered as possible head-
quarters for a reserve air squad-
ron, 'but the final decision is to "be-
left up to the governor. The state
headquarters will remain in St.
Augustine.
According to Col. H. W. Hesterly
of Tampa; member of the national
guard advisory board for Florida,
units generally will be located In
the same places as before the war,
but since the personnel authorized
is nearly -twice as great as -befofe,
there will 'be room for many new
units. And that is what is being
counted on for securing a unit for
Port St. Joe.

Our Country Right or Wrong

GUEST EDITORIAL ON OPA
) (This editorial represents an attempt on the
.part of your editor to consolidate the view-
points of a number of residents of Port St.
J6oe into a concise whole on what they think
of the death of the OPA. Naturally it will be
interlarded with a few of our own ideas on
the subject. However, the gist of opinion is
that of local business men, working men and
housewives.)
We were told that unless OPA is continued
wild inflation will be the result, but we were
also told that OPA would hold prices in line
and assure an equitable distribution of essen-
tial goods. It has accomplished neither. We
have had inflation right along as the result
of artificial scarcity of many articles. The
consumer has been convinced that price ceil-
ings mean nothing if goods are not available.
Full production with resulting competition
will be our best guarantee -against inflation.
When supply is built up to a parity with de-
mand, prices will adjust themselves without
the necessity .of returning to OPA. The con-
sumer will be able to get the things he needs
at prices he can afford to pay. Government
-ul.-i.i.- will be removed, with a consequertt
reduction in taxes. ,
On the other hand we find some of our lo-
cal people bemoaning the removal of price
ceilings. Will it work? they ask. Will prices
go up for a few months and then level off?


They see a spiraling of prices with the aver-
age citizen digging out his: savings in order
to live. With the rise in living costs labor will
be demanding higher wages, with a conse-
quent revival of strikes and a dropping off of
production.
Your editor can see both sides of this vital
question, and whether or not OPA is revital-
ized, the suggestion we have to offer is that
everyone buy no more right now than is
absolutely necessary and hold to savings un-
til we find out whether we are to get price
reductions. If necessary, refuse to buy any
items on which prices suddenly shoot up. A
buyers strike would automatically forde the
price of any article back to a normal level.
Frankly, we believe that the country will
get along just as well without the government
interfering. Our nation is now in its 170th
year, and for 166 of those years we got along
nicely without "ceilings."

FAITH IN STATE'S FUTURE
Floridians generally, and Miamians in par-
ticular, will hail with delight the interstate
commerce commission examiner's recommen-
dation that control of the Florida East Coast
Railway be turned over to the St. Joe Paper
Company-a subsidiary of the Alfred I. du-
Pont estate.
While the examiner's recommendation iv. -
still to be passed on, there seems little reason
to doubt that the findings will be approved
by those who have the final say.
Fact that the duPonts have spent millions
in Florida already, and that they are con-
stantly increasing their investments here, is
a good indication of their faith in the state' s
future. In this connection, their representa-
tives have demonstrated in the past willing-
ness to work with community and state 01-
ficials for the general good of all concerned.
-The Miami Post.

Simple Precautions
Aid In Preventing
Polio, Says Doctor
Lacking 'a preventive or cure
for the disease, the public's pro-
tection against serious infection
with infantile paralysis lies in a
rigid adherence to a list of simple
precautions, says Dr. Terry Bird,
county health officer.
The agent which causes polio-
myelitis is know as a filterable
virus and the germ, a bacteria, has
never been isolated, states the doc-
tor. The source of infection is
thought to be from nose and throat
discharges of infected persons.
Bowel discharge from infected per-
sons also contains the virus. Flies
are known to be capable of trans-
mitting the virus.
With these things in mind, Dr.
Bird advises everyone to observe
the following precautions:;
Any child or adult who has fe-
ver of undetermined origin should
consult their family physician im-
mediately.
Children should not be permitted
to attend any unnecessary public
gatherings during the prevalence
of the disease.
A high level of sanitary environ-
-ment should be established thru
fly control, proper disposal of gar-
bage and sewerage, and a general
community clean-up program.
Flies should be controlled by
screening, eradication of breeding
places and the use of DDT on
breeding places and' garbage.
Garbage should, be collected reg-
ularly and disposed of properly.
All garbage cans should. have
covers and. be sprayed with DDT.
The milk and water supply
should be protected' from contami-
nation by flies, improper handling
and improper sewage disposal.
By initiating and. carrying out
the above suggestions much more
will be accomplished in preventing
polio and other serious diseases
than by. establishing a quarantine
such as Georgia has, instituted
against Florida, said Dr. Bird.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS






This is to announce emphatically that

we will continue to hold prices down

to the same level as under OPA as long

as our present supply of merchandise

lasts. When we are forced to pay more

for our goods, we will only add our

same low percentage of mark-up as

has been our custom in the past. We

strongly urge all retailers to do the

same, as this is the only way to hold

prices down, get full production and

beat inflation.

STARDUST and

MOONSHINE

We like to have relatives drop
in for a visit occasionally, but we
believe that after this we'll find
some other way of entertaining
'em than taking 'em fishing-per-
haps a few fast games, of ping-pong
or tiddlywinks.
What we're leading up to is that
last week-end Doc Goody and Sam
Bolin, relatives of our wife, came
down from Georgia and, naturally
we had to take 'em fishing. We
fished at Willie Rowell's place on
the Dead Lakes Friday (getting up
at 5:30-and how we hated that!)
but weren't very successful, get-
ting rained out. Ed' Pridigeon, Jr.,
volunteered to take our guests to
a spot where they could really
-each some fish, so early Saturday
morning (5:30 again!) we set out
up the canal in Ed's boat. After
fishing an hour or two a rain blew
up and we were forced to take
.shelter in a'palmetto hut about a
mile up the stream, getting a super
drenching during the trip.
We sat around a couple of hours
with Sam and Ed smoking us like
hams in their efforts to get a fire
going, and then started fishing
again. The fish were quite co-op-
erative, but in about an hour we
hit slam-bang into a real rain
storm and decided to head for
home. Actually the rain was so
heavy that coming down the c:aial
fish were swimming right along
beside us, shoulder high they
couldn't tell where the water of
the canal left off and the ra'n
began.
We like to fish, but .we're dog-
gcned if we like to take a bath on
the installment plan. (And Ed sure
knows where the fish hang out,
for we brought back a-plenty.)
,.And speaking of fish if you
want something out of the ordin-
ary, go down .to the St. Joe Hard-
ware Co. and ask Horace Soule
for one of his "Fisherman's Yard-
sticks." And speaking of
Horace Soule, did you notice our
esteemed mayor tarring the root
of The Star building a week or so
back? Probably working up
good will -come election time. We'll
let you know for sure after we get
his bill for the job.
We followed a pair of ears hall
a block down the street the other
day and slapped them on the back
in the belief it was Stanford Beck-
ham-only to have them turn out
to be a perfect stranger. And
were our earsered'!
Nifty sign Miles Hurlbut has in-
stalled on, his new building Tor
Mouchette's Style Shop. The
front of the postoffice, received a
new coat of paint this week. Our
fingerprints, along with a lot or
others, are recorded in the Job, for
who can resist a "Wet Paint" sign?
We understand Mrs. A. D.
Lawson lost out in a battle with
her washing machine. Seems, a
sheet got tangled in the wringer
and had to be cut to shreds to re-
mlove it.

DISTRICT SCOUT MEET

Progress being made in negro
Scouting was discussed and Tom

lost eight units and had gained but-
one this year, but that six units
were now in process of organiza-
tion and; some of the lapsed unit?
would be revitalized. This includes
all phases of Scout work, Clubbing.

We Are Holding the Line

The following self-explanatory telegram was received
by us this week from Jacksonville:
ST. JOE MOTOR COMPANY
PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE FORD
MOTOR CO. HAD AN APPLICATION ON
FILE WITH OPA FOR A PRICE IN-
CREASE WE ARE HOLDING THE PRICE
LINE AND WE ARE COUNTING ON ALL
OUR DEALERS TO DO LIKEWISE.
FORD DAVIDSON.
We are co-operating with the Ford Motor Company
and will do all in our power to adhere to former OPA
prices for the benefit of our customers and to assist in
staving off inflation.
