May Be Stampede

Of Candidates In

Governor's Race

IMany. Veterans of World War II
Have Eye On Air-Conditioned
Office of Chief Executive

By RUSSELL KAY
While a lot of things can, happen
and' probably will between now and
the next gubernatorial primary
.election, politicos here and, about
continue to find amusement by
dragging out the crystal ball and
trying to look into the' future.
With the gubernatorial offices
being enlarged, expanded and air-
conditioned, the prospect of oc-
cupying the chief executive chair
becomes even more inviting, and
all .present indications point'to a
stampede rather than a race, with
almost as many candidates a.
there are voters.
Since we last discussed the sub-
ject several' new names have been
mentioned', and when the hat-
throwing stage is reached, in all
probability the hats of one or more
of -these suggested contenders will
be in the stack.
Now it seems that Miami has
the itch and feels that it might be
advantageous to have one of her
sons in the governor's chair. De-
spite the fact that she had the op-
portunity last time and muffes it
when she by-passed Ernest Gra-
ham, she is now seriously con-
sidering anr,.-thrr fry and is. pilning
her hopes on..George. Smatherb,
the up-andkcoming returned veteran
who demonstrated his ability to
swing on th e political trapeze
with the greatest of ease when he
unseated the hitherto invincible
Pat Cannon.
But just to be on the safe side
and not have all of her eggs in
one basket, Miami may enter more
than one contender, and another
hopeful from the area that tIs be-
ing mentioned as a probable starter
is Circuit Judge Holt.
In discussing the situation, John

OPA Hikes Price
Of Men's Clothes

OPA price officials Tuesday de-
ferred- until after August 20 a de-
cision on whether to scrap all price
controls over bread, flour and other
grain products, but indications are
that the controls will be removes.
It was stated' that OPA has been
forced to consider lifting controls
on grain products after the baking
industry demanded a one-cent-a-
loaf increase in 'bread prices annd
15 to 25 per cent boosts for bis-
cuits, crackers, cakes and other
. weet goods.
OPA also granted a general 11
per cent retail price increase for
men's shirts, shorts and pajamas,
an 8 per cent increase in the price
of mackinaws, leather coats and
jackets, hunting and fishing cloth-
ing and men's heavy sport shirts.
It also has. authorized an addi-
tional 10 per cent increase for
men's and boys' dress shirts andI
boys' low-priced. sports shirts In
cases where this does not raise
prices beyond OPA maximums.
These maximums are about $1.84

Regulations On Car Lights
To Be Enforted In County

Co-operating with the Florida
Highway Patrol, Sheriff Byrd E.
Parker carries' an ad' in this issue
of The Star warning that state
regulations pertaining to lights on
motor vehicles will be rigidly en-
forced by his office and officers or
municipalities in Gulf county.
State laws require that motol
vehicles (other than motorcycles
shall carry two headlights and a
red tail light on the left rear, and
that the lower beam of headlights
shall be used at all times when ap-
proaching within 500 feet of an on-
coming vehicle.
Sheriff Parker urges, that motoe-
ists check their lights immediately
to see that they are not crosseii
and that they come within tne
state's regulations.

The Blountstown Buccaneers in-
vaded Port St. Joe Sunday in their
last appearance on the local field

game went down to defeat at the
hand of the Saints by a score or
4 to 1. ,
It was. three men up and three
men down for the Bucs in the first
inning as they faced, the hurling of
L-'fty Thomason, and in this same
inning the Saints made two of
their four counters, due to the
hefty bat of Leonard Belin. Frank

Featuring
TIPS From Across Our Counter To Wise Shoppers!
We want to thank you again, folks, for the splendid busi-
ness you gave us during our July Clearance which came
to an end Wednesday, July 31. This does not mean that
prices go back up, for we will continue' to offer many
Summer items at even lower prices. You will profit by
taking advantage of these unbeatable values, including
Summer Shoes, Dresses, Summer Handbags and all kinds
of Sportswear. Now, that man's Knit Brief @ 44c is a
humdinger, and we've still got 'em (or part of them).
Those Men's Suits are getting low, but we still have a
few left. By the way, if you want a Linen Handkerchief
for husband, brother or sweetheart we have 'em by the
dozen (or each). Speaking of Curtains, we have lovely
ones in Priscilla ruffled or tailored styles. While we are
on that side we ought to mention those gorgeous CHEN-
ILLE BEDSPREADS that wil! make your bedroom so
luxurious and inviting. Bed Pillows, too, filled with.
crushed chicken feathers, only $1.65 each. You'll be inter-
ested to know that we have several pieces of 50-inch Wool
Crepe at $2.95 which has advanced in price substantially
since we bought it. Girls going off to school this Fall
better make a note of this. While we are still on piece
goods it wouldn't be fair not to let you in on those up-to-
the-minute HOLLYWOOD PATTERNS at only fifteen
and twenty-five cents. Many good customers have com-
plimented this inexpensive pattern. Speaking of good
customers, recently one of our salesladies sold a man a
suitcase and then proceeded to fill it entirely full ot
spanking new merchandise-and you'd be surprised-it
didn't cost as much as you're thinking. Here's another
idea that happened since this epistle was started that's
still better: A good lady from up the country bought a
locker trunk and proceeded to fill it with choice merchan-
dise at our saving prices. Try it! We want to thank
.those pleasant customers who always come in with a
smile and have a cheery word to say. Believe me, we're
always glad to see you whether you buy or not. Be sure
to see those wonderful "Fortunet" Indoor Shoes in red
and gold, blue and gold, and black and gold-double A's
to B's. They're making quite a hit.
We've a lot more to tell you, but will save it for next
week, as space is getting low. Watch this "Tattler" col-
"lmn for "Tips From Across Our Counter." We'll be glad
to have some contributions (not cash) from our customers.
Yours for More and Better Merchandise,

Governor Accepts State
Guard Unit Allotments

Governor Caldwell Wednesday
formally accepted the war depart-
ment's allotment of units of the
48th and' 51st Infantry Divisions to
the new Florida National GuarO
and directed his military staff to
prepare plans for reorganization of

Under the revised troop allot-
'nent plan which gives the state
9600 National Guard troops, com-
pared with the normal strength of
3500 before the war, it is hoped
that a unit. can be secured for Port
St. Joe, and every effort is being
made by local civic organizations
andi interested individuals to bring

The "wood eternal" is fast be-
coming a vanishing commodity.
Though Florida ranks as the fore-
most cypress producing state in
the Union., the vast swamps which
once provided millions of boara
feet of the durable timber each
year have fallen off until profit-
able logging operations are possi-
ble in only a few areas. The larg-
est source is South Florida's Big
Cypress swamp on the edge of the
everblades.
The Lee Cypress Company Is
working Floridas biggest remain-
,ng stand of the trees a40) mile
from its mill at Perry. The mill
was established in 1914 when cyp-
ress was abundant near Perry.
State Forester C. H. Coulter
says there is no danger of Florida
being completely denuded of cy
press, but he explained, that sec-
ond, growth trees which -spring up
to replace-the sturdy giants felled
by loggers will lack for many years
the qualities which make swamp
or tidewater cypress valuable.
The "wood eternal" so named
because of its durability is usea
for water storage tanks, chemical
vats and other purposes requiring
long-lasting, weather-resistant tim-
ber. 1typress shingles have been
known to remain serviceable for
100 years. No less sturdy than the
lumber it produces is the tree It-
self. One specimen,, at Longwood
in Seminole county, is. 3,500 years
old.
The forester said that in 1934
Florida had' four billion board feet
of standing fast-growth cypress.

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE PEOPLE PAY ALL THE COSTS
Despite many theories to the contrary, the
Seattle Times observes. "The government of
a nation is wholly dependent upon the people
for financial support. Government pro-
duces nothing. People pay the costs of their
governmenit-all the costs."
The Times describes the enormous inroads
made by government into the tpockethooks of
the people. In the early days the government
found sufficient support in indirect taxation--
the "duties, imports and excises" specified by
the constitution. Then came direct taxation
in the form of the income tax, with its steadily
ascending rates. After that came the with-
holding tax idea-under which a certain pro-
portion of each worker's weekly or monthly
paycheck is paid into the federal treasury to
support some service or other. The social se-
curity law which, as the Times says, is based
on the premise that "all the people were too
unthrifty to provide for their own welfare
and old age," is the prize example of this.
Now the country is threatened with one
more bite in the form of the proposed compul-
sory national health, bill, generally known as
the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill. To quote
the Times again, "The president, some mem-
bers of congress and some government agen-
cies have decided that the people, as a whole,
are unable to take care of their health, and
government must do it for them.
"After the health bill, the logical succession
of laws must be for more payroll withholding
to provide the balanced diet', the proper ap-
parel, and the right kind of homes for all the
people-all tb be prescribed by government.
"What the government may try to do from
there on is anybody's guess; but the safest
guess is that by that time there will be noth-
ing more of earned income to withhold."
If the American people are at last ready to
admit that they are completely incapable ot
caring for themselves, and for making their
own decisions as free agents. government will
of course step in and order our lives. And, if
the American people accept that premise,
everything the country stood for, everything
that made the country great-private oppor-
tunity and personal liberty-is irretrievably
gone.


THE ROAD TO WAR
According to a recent nation-wide survey,
62 per cent of the Ameiicap people now be-
lieve that we will have another world war
within 25 years. Only 24 per cent believe that
we will have a lasting peace. By comparison,
three years ago, when the last war was at
its height. 47 per cent of the people felt that
a lasting peace was probable, and only 43
per cent were convinced of the inevitability
-f another war.
The diminishing faith of the American peo-
ple in man's ability to prevent wholesale mur-
der and destruction oil an incredible scale is
in itself a terrible commentary on the state
of the world. Its origins are obvious enough.
Ve have watched the failure of the United
Nations Security Council fo arrive at work-
able agreements. VWe have seen the trend
back to the old balance of power policies
which did so much to foment World \Vars I
and 11. W e have seen the rights of small na-
tions destroyed and the voices of dissenters
violently stilled. \Ve have seen the authori-
ties pessimistically forecast that the world
mav break down into two great opl)posed
spheres of influence, led by the Soviet Union
on one side and the United States on the other.
The challenge this offers to all the nations
of the world is the greatest they have ever
faced. For. should war come again, it could
very well end only in the death of civilization
as we know it. The atomic-bomb is in its in-
fancy, and the "improved" bombs of the fu-
ture, compared to those of today, will be like
a 1947 car beside the primitive vehicles that
appeared 40-odd years ago. Other weapons,
of unimaginable scope and destructive power,
are in the experimental stage. It is perfectly
possible that this kind of scientific progress,
once unleashed for war, may mean the ruin of
all mankind.
\VWhat nation wants this? VWhat govern-
ment. no matter how greatly it distrtists its
neighbor. will assume the awful responsibil-
ity for another war? What differences are so
important that thev cannot be reconciled in
the interest of a lasting- peace? The very ex-
istence of every being, whether he be Ameri-
can or Russian, Pole or Greek, Briton or In-
dian. depends upon the answers given to these
tremendous questions.

Scientists have discussed before the Ameri-
can Chemical Society the problem of weigh-
ing invisible material on invisible scales. Per-
haps the butter salesmen could help them
out.-Boston Traveler.

Believe it or not. but it is stated there are
12 supposed active volcanoes in the United
States, not including the Republican and Dem-
ocratic parties and JIlhn L. L'ewis.

A banker who cant' say yes, and a gal who
can't say no. are doomed to a useless life.-

MAY BE STAMPEDE chance in future elections are as-
suming that all ex-service men and
women will vote only for those who
(Continued From Page 1) gaw service in World War II. It is
sees both Sma-thers and Holt ag the writer's belief that while being
likely candidates, along with Dan a returned veteran will be helpful.
McCarty, Fuller Warren and Su- it is not sufficient qualification to

would provide a race between vet-
erans of the armed services-War-
ren from the Navy, MGCarty from
the Army, Snmathers from the Ma-
rines, and Holt from tha Coast
Guard.
With over one-fifth of the state
vote and the percentage still grow-
ing in her favor, Miami, i-f she were
to get solidly behind one candi-
date, could go a long way towarde
swinging an election, but so far
she has shown little inclination to
do this.
Those who contend that nobody
but a returned veteara4 will have a


more than, labor, the Baptists or
other groups do. Elections held
recently in Florida, Georgia and
other places prove that. This also
holds true of the negro vote. Whil:

by this or that group, the larg?
percentage of negroes who do go
to the polls will vote indepenedntly

voters do&

tioned and considered possible can-
didates give us a lengthy fieM.
Fuller Warren, of course, is a cer-
tainty-- in fact, "he has never
stopped running.
Three cabinet members are toy-
ing with the idea. and it goes with-
out saying that if they can be
made to believe that they have a
Chinaman's chance, they'll be in
there running their heads off. They
are Colin English. Ed Larson ant;
Tom Watson.
While no one has committed
himself, it is my guess that two will
be in the starting lineup-English
and Watson. Larson is receiving a
lot of encouragement and may de-
cide to try.
Then we must not overlook Dan
McCarty. Dan is another probable
starter and with h-is statewide con-
tacts he could not be discounted.
.It wouldn't surprise me to see as


many candidates in the next melee
as we had in the Cone campaign,
and whoever wins. will know .he
has been in a race.

STATE SENATE PRESIDENT .Harvard College was expanded
SAYS SURPLUS IS NOT GOOD into Harvard University under the
Florida legislators will have a charter of 1850.


$31,000.000 problem on their hands
when the 1947 session convenes,
says Senate President Walter W.
Rose of Orlando.
The $31,000,000 will be a surplus
and not a deficit, said Rose, repre-
senting the estimated excess of
state revenue, over legislative ap-
propriations for the period of July
1, 1945, to June 30, 1947.
"It isn't sound to tax that much
more than the cost of operating
our state government," he declare(
"for whenever there Is a surplus,
there'll be plenty of people finding
ways, to spend it." "
