THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME IX PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1946' NUMBERS 44 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 Pennekamp of the Miami Herald (Continued on page 4) ------_-4(----- - 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.

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. "I LOST 52 Lbs.! WEAR SIZE 14 AGAIN" MRS. C. 0. WILLS, FT.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is los-t; the printed word remains. 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.

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 preme Court Justice Sabring. He insure election. The veterans' vote points out that these candidates will not go as a solid, block any 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: a few negroes may be inrfluenceG by this or that group, the larg? percentage of negroes who do go to the polls will vote indepenedntly and for the candidate they con- sider best qualified for the office, just as a large percentage of all voters do& Dat getting -back to the guber- natorial outlook, the addition or the names of Smathers, Holt and& Sebring to those already men- 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. -X A Bit Vague Patient-I can't say why, but 1 get a sort of a pain, I don't know where.
