THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME IX PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1946 NUMBER 45 Oystermen Drop Two Ball Games To St. Joe Saints Sunday Tilt Goes 1- Innings For 4-1 Score; Hinote Gets Shut- out Here Wednesday The S'aints went on to increase their lead over Apalachicola in the Gulf Coast League when they de- feated, the Oystermen 5-0 in -the local ball park Wednesday after- noon behind the hurling of Terry Hinote. Terry got into a couple of bad holes, but keeping, a cool head and. with the assistance of his team mates, came out of them safely to be credited with a shut- out. He retired eight men by the strikeout route and gave two walks while Hendels, on the .mound for Apalachicola, gave four walks ana -was credited with two strikeouts. Leonard Belin was the star per- former of the tilt, chalking up two home runs for a total of ten so far this season. His first came in the third, driving Tommy Mitchell in ahead of him, andi the second came in the seventh with two men out and no one on base. The Saints, scored one run in the second inning, two fin the third, one in the fourth and one in the fifth for their total of five. The Oystermen had a golden op- portunity to score in the third inn- ing when the bases were loaded with-no outs. Hinote struck out the fourth batter,, Bert Cox caught a runner at home on an attempted sacrifice, and the third -out wa6. marked up on a play from Lane' to Belin. The Apalachicolans again threatened to score in the seventh after a runner had advanced to third, but the attempt was nipped in the bud by the Saints who were bound to give Hinote his shutout. SUNDAY'S GAME In a pitcher's battle that went to 10 innings the Saints defeated the second place Apalachicola Oyster- inen on their home field Sunday by a score of 4 to 1 behind the hurling of Lefty Thomason, who chalked up his ninth straight win and kept his record at the 1.000 (Continued on Page 4) AVERS STORY OF BASEBALL RUCKUS WAS 'HUMILIATING' One of the two women men- tioned in the story of the freefor- all staged< at the baseball game in Wewahitchka on July 24 has in- formed us that she was "greatly humiliated" by the story, that there was no "argument" since she did not utter a word. The word "argument" used in the story was merely a figure of speech, referring to a general me- lee, sounding much 'better than other words that could have been used under the circumstances. There was no intention of "hu- miliating" anyone, for a newspaper does not intentionally do sucn things. In fact, no names were mentioned in the story for that reason, and we are indeed sorry ir either of the two women feel they have been humiliated, for such was not the intent.

Three Gulf County Boys. To Attend Navy School It is announced 'by Chief W. W. Hyche, in charge of the navy re- cruiting station at Marianna, that three Wewahitchka boys, Osborne Thomasson, George Redfearn, Jr., and James Brock, have succeeded in passing the Eddy test, thus qualifying themselves f o r the navy's ,famed school of electronics.

Florida To Get Increase In Vocational Education Fund Florida will receive $371,939 in federal funds, for vocational edu- cation in the 1946-47 school year under legislation recently passed by congress. This is an increase of $84,729 over the $287,210 allotted for 1945-46. O *.1I m ... (Rq mOn t- 9 .r I Six Amendments To Constitution To Go On Ballot Only Two Are of Statewide Appli- cation or of General Importance Proposals to eliminate nearly all so called "continuing appropria- tions" and to establish the office of- state budget director, along with four other proposed ameni- nients to the constitution of Flor- ida will be voted on by the people of the state at the general election November 5. Of the six amendments sought to 'be added to the constitution, based on resolutions passed by the 1945 session of the legislature, but two are of statewide application or of general importance. The others apply specifically to Hillsborough, Orange, Bay andi Escambia coun- ties, respectively. The appropriation amendment, claimed by its sponsors to be a means of giving 'the legislature a biennial check on state govern- mental expenditures, requires that all legislative acts appropriating money be in a separate law or laws, and that no law on any otae, subject include an appropriation. ;All appropriations, with the spe- I cific exemptions, would be limited to periods of two years. Exempted from the two-year limitation on ap- propriations are those for county schools, counties, cities, or politi- cal subdivisions of the state, ap- propriations for permanent im- provements and buildings for state institutions as provided for by laws enacted at the 1945 legislature or prior legislatures, and for pen- sions, retirement fundss and trust funds. Intended to ,be eliminated by the amendment are appropriations or money included in laws passed through the, years and carrying over roan year to year without any check by 'the legisalture. So gn- eral has the practice of making continuing appropriations become that in recent years, according to sponsors of the amendment, only about $17,000,000 of approximately $100,000,000 spent annually by the (Continued on Page 3) PUBLIC HEARING ON SCHOOL.

The Saint southpaw gave up 12 hits, walked one man and was credited with 11 strikeouts. St. Joe scored first with one run in the second inning when Leonard Belin was safe at first on a low throw to first by the shortstop. Bert Cox lifted a Texas Leaguer ever second for one bag; Alton Dendy sacrificed to advance Belin and Cox, and W. J. Herring drove Belin home with a hit. through sec- ond. The Oystermen also scored one in this frame, andi the game went on from their 1 -1 until the tenth. In reality there should have been io extra innings, as in the sixth Fohn Lane crossed the plate on a :ine drive to third by Belin whicn was stopped, by the third baseman .or a sure out, but he overthrew first andi Lane crossed the plate ,vith Belin going to second. The two Apalachicola umpires rule that Lane was entitled to but one lag, and over the bitter protests )f Manager Rich Porter, Johnny vas sent back to third. Even, the kpalachicola players admitted that Lane was entitled to two bases .lut the umps were adamant and apparently out to win in any man- ter, shape or form, so Manage. Porter notified the officials thaN the game would be played under protest. However, no action was neces- sary, as in the tenth inning tau, Saints began to hit Rutherford, i pitcher imported from Madisn, by Apalachicola for the balance of the season, and three runs were shoved' over luring the frame. Thomason ledi off with a single -hrough third; Frank Hannon, in an attempted sacrifice, popped a 'oul to the catcher; Lane took two )ags on a hit through second, and the bases were loaded as Tommy .Vitchell took a walk when nicked by a pitched, ball. The large con- :ingent of St. Joe rooters went wild as Belin stepped to the plate, ind their faith in the home-run litter was justified, for he slamnm'ea nit a two-base hit 'to left field to Irive in Thomason and Lane. Cox hit a line drive to short to bring in Mitchell, and the side was retired when Dendy whiffed. The Oyster City boys failed to score, and the na.me was over. Main features of the tilt were two nifty catches in left field by 'Fish" Herring and a belly-flopper staged by Rich Porter as he vainly mndemavored to beat out an infield lit. "My legs just wouldn't keep ip with me," said Rich. n A SEAFOODS STEAKS THIS COMPLETE FEED... THAT'S AL YOU NEED a'em on Calf STARTENA !One bag replaces 40 gallons milk.

S--X AMENDMENTS SIX AMENDMENTS (Continued from page 1). state government is subject to legislative review every two year-i. All of the continuing appropria- tions, except those particularly specified, would be discontinued and nullified as of July 1, 1947. Described as something of a companion to the approprlavrons proposal, the amedi ment next in importance submitted by the legis- lature will, if ratified by the peo- ple in November, establish a state budget director, who would be ap- pointed by the legislature, ana would, perform duties specified by the legislature from time to time. In general, duties of the director of the budget would be to super- vise expenditure of funds appropri- ated *by the legislature, to assure the money being spent in accord- ance with legislative direction. Three of the other four amend- ments are designed to effect con- solidation of county and city gov- ernmental functions, particularly with regard to taxation, in Hills- borough, Orange and Ray counties. Hillsiborough county already op- erates under an amendment con- solidating tax assessing and col- lecting for the county as to all mnunibipalities. Plant City would be eliminated from its provisions by the proposed amendment. The Orange county amendment authorizes special legislative acts to consolidate any and all offices and functions of government of county and municipalities, but re- quires that any such acts be sub- mitted, to referendum elections in the county. The Bay county proposal would consolidate assessing and collect- ing taxes in the county and mu- nicipalities.

This precaution is for their protection as well as the community. Open garbage draws flies which may carry typhoid, fever, and pos- sibly polio. Rats from which ty- phus fever infected fleas find their way to human, bodies also breed in garbage. Such diseases play no fa- vorites. Flies and rats can be extermi- nated if first their breeding places are wiped out. In towns, open gar- bage cans and. dirty surroundings play a major role. Householders are urged to pro- vide themselves with water-tight metal garbage containers, which should be placed on bricks or wooden platforms in order to pre- vent dampness and direct contact between the can and the ground. or between stakes so dogs o.r other animals can't turn them over.

Our Country 7f, Right or Wrong FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS The best way to combat tuberculosis, a prominent doctor points out, is to be con- stantly engaged in a fight to discover its symptoms. Since all recent strides in reducing the death-rate have been made because of early detection it is evident that more thor- ough examinations would produce even better results, and the Florida State Board of Health is to be commended for its plan to X-ray all children of our state with a battery of portable X-ray machines. Tuberculosis is something very remote to us until it becomes very intimately associated with some member of the family, and then it becomes an active, aggressive enemy. Because doctors can cure it in most cases only before it becomes complicated, mass skin tests or children at school and X-ray. treatment of doubtful cases i_ of the greatest aid. A majority of ~pulmonary tuberculosis oc- curs in the late teens or early twenties, antd examination of children seems the most sen- sible course to take until science learns more about. curative,_inethods. Further, early ,dis- c:',ery) prev-nt-i reading of infection. Early detection then, does two things it saves lives and prevents many from falling victim to the germ. Congress has passed a bill which will pay half the price of damages caused by the tidal wave which hit Hawaii in April, some sixteen million dollars. We can't see why the tax- payers should be soaked for what properly can be termed "an act of God." Supposing the same thing should happen here in Port St. Joe-would we expect the government to re- pair the damage? Now that General MacArthur has clamped down on the traffic in narcotics it might be well to recall that the best the Japs ever gave to dwellers in their co-prosperity sphere was the promise.of a future of happy daze. Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds. TOO LATE! A placard in Austin Huggins' shoe shop pictured several svles of rubber heels and a beautiful girl who was saying, "I'm in love with America's Numnber 1 heel."

THE LEADER SHOE SHOP EDUCATION CHALLENGED BY TRUMAN President Truman's statement, upon signing a joint resolution placing the United States in the United Nations' educational, scientific and cultural organization, that "if peace is to endure, education must establish the moral unity of mankind," is a direct challenge to the people of Florida and the entire nation. He declared further that "the government of the United States will work with and through the UNESCO to the end that the minds of all people may be freed from ignor- ance, prejudice, suspicion and fear, and that men may be educated for justice, liberty and peace." While the president's appeal is na- tional in scope, its application points specific- ally to every classroom in Florida from kin- dergarten through the university. Times require of government, diplomacy, business, and all the professions, more and better personnel and equipment, and more funds for permanent improvements and up- keep. The demands of this modern age do not exempt the schools. All public educational institutions in Florida must receive more' funds from the state, and private institutions must be given more generous contributions by donors, else their great responsibilities cannot be adequately met and the challenge of thte t clresident- ill have t-- herelseA __d-Flidrn\ M elw*-CSIUlL *wlln V o LODe re iLusei.-o--rtii lca Times-Union. KEEP THAT INSURANCE, JOE This month the Veterans Administration is launching a campaign urging all GI's to re- tain their government life insurance, or if they have let it lapse, to have it reinstated. Probably a lot of you GI's in Gulf county don't realize it, but that insurance is a real bargain and one that will be appreciated in later years. And if you don't think so, just ask some of the veterans of World War 1 right here in Port St. Joe who failed to keep up their government insurance. They're all kicking themselves for being damphools. And, .Qp the other hand, have a talk with the few who did keep up their insurance. They can tell you what it really mans to them today. Your editor has talked with quite a num- ber of the local World War II veterans in re- gard to this matter and was surprised at the number who have let their insurance lapse. Why, we can't understand. All we can tell 'em is that "You'll be sorry, Joe, in later years if you don't keep up that policy." The doctors say drink plenty of water, the brewers say drink plenty of beer, and the cof- fee people say drink plenty of coffee. A per- son would have to be hollow clear to the heels to accommodate 'em all.
