THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Flbrida's Future Industrial Center VOLUME IX PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1946 NUMBER 47 O Plans For County Fair Revived By American Legion Will Proceed With Formation of Association Approved In 1944 Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri- can Legion, this week dug out the plans for a Gulf County Fair As- sociation formulated' in the latter part of 1944, dusted them off and got busy working out details for what tfey "afticiliate making an annual event. Charter for the ,'air association was approved two years ago by the board of county commissioners and is on file with the clerk of the cir- cuit court. Due to war activities and minor aggravations in 1944, the plan at that time was, not car- ried to completion, but now, with an injection of new, young blood the Legion is entering into forma- tion of the association with great enthusiasm. It is hoped to hold the first ex- hibition some time in October, al- though no definite date has as yet been set. The fair will offer resi- dents of Gulitf county an opportun- ity to exhibit and view various products, such as vegetables and fruits, livestock, forest products, etc. A carnival wiill be brought In in connection with the fair and residents of the county will be en-: aibled to gather for a week of fun and gaiety.

St. Joe Saints -w7 Fast-Paced Game Holds Interest of Spectators Up Until Final Inning The Tyndall Field baseball team. with a number of'big league rookies in the lineup, we are told, invaded Port St. Joe last Wedinesday to tangle with the Saints at the local ball park. The tilt was fast and interesting throughout and the It- nal outcome was doubtful up until the last inning. However, St. Joe came out on the long end of the 6 4 score, much to the gratifica- tion of the local fans, Lefty Thomason hurled his usual brand of ball for the Saints, strik- ing out eleven men. Big features of the game were home runs by Leonard Bedili and Tom Mitchell, the latter being tickled, pink with his long, hard hit over the right field fence, his first home run, he says, in all the years he has been playing ;ball. John Lane led the Saints in hitting.. getting three of the nine bingles given up by the Tyndall moundasman. - The Saints scored one run in the opening inning when Lane made it safely to first. Alton .Dendy got on base on an error, and' Mitchell sac- rificed. Leonard: Belin socked a liner to the shortstop and Lane was caught out at home on the forced play, Dendy going to third. Bert Cox hit to ihtei third bas-eman, who- tunibled the ;bali, allowing Mitchell to come home. The side was retired as McCall was out on a foul tip to third. Tyndiall scored, a run in the sec- ond and it remained one-all until the last of the sixth, when St. Joe chalked up another counter on Mitchell's homer with no one on base. In the "lucky seventh" the Tyn- dall lad's chalked, up another run to again tie the score, but the Saints, with the first two men up out and two strikes'oh Lane, the third man at 'bat, shoved over four runs to practically put the game on ice. Lane took one. base on a- low hit over second, Dendy drove a hard' liner'through short to sent the flying Lane home and went to second as the play was made at the .(Continued on Page 2) VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL TO OPEN AT BAPTIST CHURCH -Rev.

Saunders, production manager of the St. Joe Paper Company, told Rotarians he considered the St. Joe Paper Company at the top ot the list in the industry insofar as production efficiency and efficiency of operation were concerned. He 'said that the' company owns approximately 500,000 acres of pulpwood-growing land in West Florida, which forms t h e basic source of the required raw product. He informed Rotarians that when he came to St. Joe In 1936 it was a small fishing village with a pop- ulation of about 400, and that since the building of the mill the city has grown to approximately 400U. He said. that production of liner- board amounted to about 125,000 tons per year, and that the mill has 665 employes with an annual payroll of approximately $2,000,000. He went on to say that tile subsidI- ary an.dcaffiliated companies hal an annual payroll of an additional $330,000, and that the company ana its subsidiaries in 1945 paid' taxes and licenses in Port St. Joe and Gulf county in thie amount of ap- proximately $40,000.

Cox failed to beat his single to dirst to retire the side. The Tyndallites had the specta- tors worried in the eighth when, with two outs and two men on base Thomason walked the fifth man up to load the bases. The sixth man at bat hit a line drive through third to .bring in two men. and leave two on base, but Thomason was equal to the occasion and struck out the next man to end the threat.

Result of the decision, which-was made In the sixth innng, was that the tilt went an extra inning in which the Saints came out on top. The de- cision was protested iby Manager Rich Porter at the time, without result. Floyd Hunt, secretary of the Gulf Coast League, asked, for a ruling on the matter from The Sportini- News, national sports weekly pul'- lishedi at St. Louis, Mo., and re- ceived the following reply: "When ground rules specify 'one base over first or third base,' the interpretation is one base in addi- tion to the one which the runner1,* axre going to at the start of the play. "In the playyou described, if the runner on second started for ,third as soon as the throw was made, he should 'be permitted to score. The fact that he halted and waited un- til the third baseman started his throw would not alter the situation. "Had the runner remained on the second base bag until he saw the .bell was out of the first base- man"s reach, he would be entiteld only to 'third base." Perhaps 'Secretary Hunt can also get a decision on the hijinx recently staged on the Wewahitchka field. On Business Trip.

JOE, FLORIDA Bee -Keepers Use Swamp for Tupelo , Honey Product ion Interesting Story In Magazine Sec- tion of Perry Papers Tells of Profitable Industry The following .:i'.,:l- appeared last week in the .magazine section of the Perry weekly newspapers published in Florida; Gulf county has' become almost synonymous with the word "honey,'" especially the famous' tupelo honey. 1or S31 producers along the lower stretches of the Apal4tchicola rivel have run their annual production to tbout 500,000 .pounds to lead all Florida counties. All ar2as in Florida are not suit- able for honey production. It takes rivers to make the swamps to grow the trees to furnish -the blooms to feed the bees to make the honey. This is especially true of Lu.pelo ioney, for the tupelo igum t'ret grows, in swampy river bottoms. The 31 bee keepers in Gun county have some 5,900 colonies or bees producing the delectable sub- stance. The half-million pounds or extracted honey is 'supplemente'q by about 5,500 pounds. of wax, ana the two bring in an ayer-age annual income of $62,000 at present price . levels. Production At Full Capacity Lest there 'be a "honey rush" to Gulf county, 'however, J. A. Whit- field of Wewahitchka, the biggest single producer, warns that the territory at present is, overstocked with bees and production is at full capacity. "I Whitfield is considered one- oz the highest authorities in the f'ieltd. lie has written the official pamph- let on tupelo honey for 'the Florida State Department of Agriculture. Analysis of the output in Gul? county shows that 80 per cent Is fancy white tupelo honey and 20 per cent light am-ber or mixed1 grades. Only 2 per cent is sold to local markets, 98 ,per cent being shipped outside. About April 20 the flow of white tupelo is at i'ts height and within three or four 'weeks the harvest has been gathered'. The average life of a bee during this hectic pe- riod is 21 days, as after that time they wear out their wings and dre. During the winter most bee- keepers bring the 'bees up-river -to Georgia. They are almost dormant for three months during this pe- riod. Early in January they are brought back down the river and begin to feed on titi, maple, iron- wood and' other early blooming plants. They reach the peak ot their condition just as the tupelo blooms become available. Industry Established Accidentally The industry was established, ap- parently accidentally, in the sec- tion around Wewahitchka and the d)ead Lakes, about 50 years age. Certain selling 'points 'to tupelo honey encouraged producers to place the industry on a high buis- ness level. In spite of the seasonaI nature of the business and losses from forest fires and heavy rains, itiancial returns are comparatively good. Tupelo contains about 48 per cent levulose and' 23 per cent dex- trose as sweetening. Levulose has been found to be more readily tol- eratedi by diabetics than any other form of sugar. Moreover, tupelo honey does not granulate. Samples kept for over 25 years 'have shown no signs of granulation. In fact, by adding a percentage of tupelo to other honey, it may be kept from granulating. Tupelo is always solid in liquid ,form, strained, and never in the comb. This 'gives a 'pure and attractive product,. 'Bees Not Native The producers have their own co-operaive association which not' only has de eloped the most prac- ticable marketing methods but Vol. I Friday, August 23, 1946 Dear Shoppers: Got -to cut out some of the ga'b ,his week and do a little advertis- iig.

Right or Wrong SPONTANEOUS HOLIDAYS Seems that the merchants up in Quincy had about the same problem as did the merchants of Port St. Joe in regard to closing on Victory Day. That is, the idea to close germinated just a day or so before the closing day. The Gadsden County Times says: "The Times has a feeling that the hastily arranged closing of Quincy's stores was a bit on the in- considerate side, not alone, to the housewives of the town, but to our friends and neighbors in the country. It seems to us that it was planned too late and that proper publicity, in order that people might plan to shop in ad- vance, was utterly overlooked. This is but another example of how much we need an active, intelligent, working chamber of com- merce, which would have helped co-ordinate, plan and publicize such action." STABILIZING WAGE DOLLARS Writing in an official- A. F. of L. publication, William Green recently urged the 7,000,000 members of his organization to "stabilize their wage dollars by helping to increase vol- ume of production, which can wipe out scarci- ties and the danger of runaway inflation." If Mr. Green is able to make this message felt he will be doing a signal service for all the American people, as well as union labor, for right there, in the simplest terms, is the fundamental answer to the whole problem of inflation-production. There are other factors involved, such as excessive government spending, which is in it- self a strong inflationary influence, but pro- duction is at the root of everything. Rising prices are the symptoms of inflation-not the cause. If we produce the goods, we will have- price stability. FREE AS THE AIR? As ai- traffic increases, more rigid rules will be necessary to control it. The supreme court has ruled that a landowner has title to as much of the air space above his property as its use and enjoyment requires. Therefore, if an airplane flies so low that it frightens his stock or endangers his property, the law of trespass may be invoked. Some day the world's population may be- come so dense that everything will have 'a commercial value even air and sunshine.- Dillon (S. C.) Herald.

Danley Employes Attend 'Banquet All employes of the Port St. Joe Danley furniture store attended the annual banquet of all Danley stores held' Thursday of last week In Opp, Ala., at which approxi- mately 140 employes were present. Attending from here were Mr. and Mrs. Opp Moore, Mi'ss Sarah Kelly, Murray Lloyd, Ellis Stevenson and NO BOOM, NO BUST President Truman has decided"-to make an effort to'do away with the fluctuating econ- omy which hitherto has been taken for granted as normal. A few years of feverish prosperity have always been followed by several more of depression, but some economists are convinced that it need not be so. The work of the president's new council of economic advisers will be to analyze business trends and show the country how to spread out employment evenly over a period of years. If building construction, for instance, could be planned for and authorized in good times, and then held off until depression days, when ma- terials and labor are'cheaper, the back of a depression would be broken. So many agencies have a hand in promoting programs of public works and public cpnstruc- tion that a good deal of education would be necessary to put such a program across with any degree of success. The economic council may have to plan a sort of public information campaign to get the support of the country at large.-Pensacola Journal. THE HARD WAY Speaking of price control, which who isn't, Representative Voorhis (Dem.-Cal.) has sub- mitted a bill which would require from the secretary of labor a weekly price report on key items. Publication of these reports, says Voorhis, would "make it possible for the con- sumers of America to know from week to week what items in their living costs have advanced sharply and which ones have held to reasonable levels." The most influential consumers are house- wives. We like tj call the average consume: Mama. And being a gal with sense enough to come in out of the rain, Mama already has this information, not weekly but daily, or at least as often as she visits the grocery. She gets complete and accurate statistics without reading any government reports, but merely by asking the clerk "How much?" From the point of view of a liberal legisla- tor this may be doing things the hard way. But Mama has been using her system for . long time and its improbable that even an act of congress could get her to change.-The Rocky Mountain News. MARCH OF THE GREEDY The Legion of Greedy People is on the march again. These are the people who, before ration- ing, filled their basements with sugar ano watched it turn hard and spoil. Then they field their closets with coffee and watched it turn rancid. Now they are buying flour beyond. their needs. President Truman announced thlit in the face of a world food crisis, which may he "the worst in modern times," Anm.ricans would have to share their bread with starving na- tions. That wa< all the greedy p. ple needed to know. Like hungry locusts swarming out of the sky, they fell over each other hurrying to the grocery stores not everybody, thank heavens, actually only a small minority, but enough numerically to sicken anybody who watched them swarm.-Milwaukee Journal.

Probably the Tennessee mountaineers come iown -to the 'beach in' the summer. Of course we lay no claim to be- ing a sports, authority, as our es- teemed friend Bert Cox can testify, but it seems to us that if the Sun- day .ball games were called at 2:30 instead of 3:30 (and' they seldom start before 4 or 4:10) there would not be so many of them rained olat. Sunday's tilt with Panama City was called in -the third, and-others iave been halted in the fifth, sixth ir seventh due to moisture in thb atmosphere, while if they had been started at 2:30 they would have been completed before the down- pour.

Peck, in his nationally released column "The American Way," has this to say, in part of the nation's country editors: "The editor of the 'big metropoli- tan daily, sitting in his comfort able swivel chair behind his expes- sive and expansive mahogany desk, may imagine he is a molder of pub- lic opinion. His ne-wspaper goes out on to the .city streets 3o be sold, by the hundreds of thoti- sands. Small wonder, then, that ;he deludes himself into believing 'he is one of a small and select group which is leading the thinking and subsequent action of the American people. "But he is wrong. The people he reaches through his publication are not the typical Amnericans-not the ,backbone of the nation. Those people are to be found in the smaller communities and in the rurall districts. In the hinterland are the hard-headed, clear-thinking citizens the people who cannot be fooled .by false -doctrines or de- ludedi iby quack panaceas, and who steadfastly adhere to sound Ameri- can principles. "These people depend 'for their news and editorial comment upon the local paper which serves their particularr district. The 'editors or those local papers have a rendez- vous with destiny to them haa ,fallen the gigantic task of insist- ing upon sound government, en- couraging business, preserving free enterprise and, maintaining democ- racy, "That's a tough assignment for any group of men, but they are measuring up to it. It is my privil- age and pleasure each week .to look through many hundreds or these local 'papers. Whenever doubt assails me as to where this natior. is heading, I am reassured by the linowledIge that some 11,000 editors of the local newspapers are on the job, quietly, without fanfare, but consistently fighting for the 'bet- terment of t h e i r communities, their states and of the nation as a whole. "Throughout the war the country editor had a mighty tough time orz it. Uncle ,Sam just had to take some of his hired help away from him. newsprint was scarcer than hens' teeth, new equipment and re- placements were practically unob- tainable, and manufacturers, hav- ing nothing to sell. had no ads for him. Yet, somehow he surmnQotetd- these obstacles and, got his paper to you regularly and on schedule." The last part of the wall in V Street, New York City, was moved in 1699.

Its Objects are: To promote the welfare of chil- dren and youth in home, school, church and community. To raise the standards of home life. To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth. ,, ' To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may co-operate intel- ligently in the training of the' chilC.

Both the state andi district wel- fare 'boards, Bellows said. were pleased that larger legislative ap, propriations in 1945 had made it possible to relieve much of the In creased need of the aged and, blind resulting from higher living costs and reduced incomes. He explained, however, that al- though appropriations for aidi to dependent children, were larger, funds had not permitted investiga- tion of new applications filed after September 30, 1945. Applications for old age assistance and aid to the blind, are investigated on prac- tically a current basis. Higher cost of living, loss ot wartime jobs 'by persons not norm- ally employable and discontinuancP of military allowances were cited by Mr. Bellows as principal rea- sons why the number and need or public assistance recipients had In- creased during the r'e.conversion and inflationary period. While other cost of living items are reaching sky- scraper prices one item that costs you less is electricity. In the past few years while other living costs- have risen 44.6%, the average amount you pay for domestic electric service in the area served by the Florida Power cor- poration is 22.8% LESS.

Box Plant To Be Built He announced that as soon as necessary equipment and' materials which had been on order for some time could be received, that the company would build and operate a modern, up-to-date box plant in this city, which would require ap- proximately 300 additional em- ployes. Saunders stated that the St. Joe Paper Company was very instru- mental in securing the southern terminus of the Southeastern Pipe- Line Company for Port St. Joe. He said that at the time the line was planned no other sites' were avail- able on the Gulf coast due to rail- road onnpposition from lines running other things, said that direct pur- chases made here in 1945 by the paper company alone, amounted! to $117,792.32, and in addition $1,802 was paid' to the city for water and other service charges. These fig- ures do not include the many pur-- chases and local expenditures by the A. N. Railroad. St. Jos'e'ph Tele- phone & Telegraph Company, St. Joseph Land & Development Com- pany and the Florida Bank.
